Best experience

Emma put me at ease from our first contact and make me feel so relaxed through the whole process which im so thankful for! She listened so well and the hair and makeup compliments from the day have not stopped nearly 5 months later!!! I was so excited to find someone like Emma and she went above and beyond to make the wedding morning perfect for us with her team. She is wonderful company for long hours in the chair as well as being amazing and talented. Thanks Emma for the pictures and memories that will last forever

Exceptional!

I was lucky enough to have Emma do my hair and makeup on my wedding day.
From the first time I met her she put me at ease. She was professional, funny, and listened to exactly what I wanted. She not only did the most exceptional job with hair and make-up; she helped to organise the wedding morning. She knew what needed to be done. From the time the flowers should arrive, to how to hold the bouquets, teaching us how to walk down the aisle and doing all this whilst making us roar with laughter and keeping my nerves at bay.
Add to this her skills with hair and makeup. I have never looked and felt so beautiful before. Emma understood exactly what I wanted and delivered more than I could have imagined. I will be forever grateful to her for how she made me feel and look on this day. She is amazing!
If you are lucky enough to book her for your wedding day it will be one of your best decisions. Emma is truly exceptional.

Professional. Made me feel really beautiful on my wedding day and highly recommended!!

If you are looking for a processional, knowledgable wedding makeup artist Emma is your woman! I contacted Emma after looking for an artist who could do both hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids and my mum at my wedding venue In Salisbury. Emma responded very quickly with her quote and confirming she had that date free. We arranged a trial and on the day of the trial I was blown away. I suffer from rosacea and Emma was very understanding of my concerns, I wanted a natural makeup look with a sparkly eye and she delivered this perfectly. She also gave me some suggestions for my skin and recommended products. Before the wedding day I was provided with a schedule and she was very flexible as I needed to change this a couple of times due to adding another person and as one of my bridesmaids wanted to do their own hair. On the wedding day she arrived promptly along with the other stylist she had arranged to do hair. She recreated the trial makeup perfectly and made myself and my bridal party look stunning. She even helped with the process of getting into the dress!! I highly recommend Emma. Her service and attention to detail is perfect.

Couldn't recommend Emma enough!

Couldn't recommend Emma enough!

From the initial consultation to the final touch-ups on my wedding day, Emma was nothing short of spectacular. At the trial, she ensured she gave me ample time to ensure that I was happy with the hair and makeup, trying a few different options before settling on the final look. And even checking in a week or so later to see how I felt after trying the full day in my look.

On the morning of my wedding, her calming presence was exactly what I needed!. She went above and beyond, offering invaluable insider tips on bridal etiquette—like how to hold my bouquet and advice to my bridesmaids on managing my dress & veil during travelling to the wedding venue. She also provided some extra lipstick for touch ups later on in the day.
Her expertise and guidance were truly appreciated. I couldn't have asked for a better artist to help make my day so special. Thank you for making me feel and look my best!

Wedding Day makeup

Emma did my wedding makeup in May 2024. Right from my first email request Emma was helpful and responded quickly. I felt nervous the day of my trial run but I needn’t have worried as Emma made me feel relaxed and confident and she has amazing knowledge of all the different brands and products which just totally baffles me. On the day Emma arrived on time and it was like meeting up with an old friend and having a chat and laugh so I felt truly chilled. I was thrilled with my makeup and I felt very beautiful and I absolutely loved the false eyelashes, wouldn’t have thought I had any on. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emma, she’s a star.

The best!!!

Emma was hired to do my bridal makeup and that of my bridesmaids back in March this year (2024). Emma was absolutely amazing!! She came to my house where we had a trial beforehand. No detail was spared when at the end I decided to change which type of lashes used and straight away she made the changes until I was happy with the final look. She took notes of everything used and when the big day rolled around Emma knew exactly what she was doing. The morning of my wedding was, as you can imagine, a very emotional one and Emma helped keep me so calm and comforted through those quiet tears to myself and the big tears with all of my girls around me. She is so warm, encouraging, your perfect hype girl and her knowledge in her field is just amazing. The makeup felt so lightweight and lasted from 7am until the early hours of the following day!! I cannot fault her, I am so grateful I chose her for my big day and I’d put all my trust in her again and again and again. Thankyou Emma!!!!

Emma was Amazing!

Emma was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so happy she was! The minute Mum and I met her for our trials, we knew we were in good hands. Emma was very welcoming and so much fun. Originally we had planned for my hair and makeup to be done and Mum's hair only. Mum loved my makeup so much that she also wanted hers done on the wedding day and this was no trouble to add onto our package after the trial. We laughed so much I don't know how we got anything done - it especially helped to make the morning of the wedding stress free. On the day, Emma was a treasure. Nothing was too much trouble, be it taking our keys and helping us into our cottages during an accommodation switch, or allowing some of my entourage to 'borrow' some extra hairspray! Emma was patient, and kind and even helped me source lipsticks and powders so my make up stayed perfect all day. I would highly recommend Emma if you're looking for a talented makeup artist in the Wiltshire/ Somerset area. Thank you, Emma, for a wonderful experience and helping to make my wedding so special. 🥰

Simply stunning!

Emma was the most perfect make up and hair artist! She was so lovely, which made me feel really relaxed and comfortable at every meeting. I met Emma at a wedding fair and I’m so glad I did. She took her time at my trial and we worked our way through my visions and spoke through all my options following this, nothing was too much trouble. Her approach to making sure it’s all as you wish is really thorough in comparison to others I know of. This was reflected in how I felt on our big day. I literally felt stunning all because of her. She listened to my desired look and made it happen. On the morning of the wedding her lovely nature meant that she helped keep me calm and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Emma you are amazing!

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable

Highly recommend Emma and Monique. They both did such a great job!
I requested a more ‘natural make up look’ and Emma was so knowledgeable.
I had three bridesmaids, One flower girl and mother of the bride and the pictures all came out stunning. Couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you x

Amazing wedding make-up artist!

Emma was absolutely fantastic from the first email and call to the day itself. Emma was so lovely and knew so much and was so experienced! The trial was great, I was very vague in my ideas and she tried different options until I has really happy with the look she created. She was great at providing advice about face-care routine between the trial and the wedding to help with my skin.

She did make-up for myself and 5 bridesmaids on my wedding day. She was so lovely, chatty and relaxing to be around the morning of. She kept to an amazing timetable and everyone was so happy with the looks she created for everyone and it all stayed on so well for the whole day!

The calmest and most positive person to have on your wedding morning!

Emma did my mum’s hair and make up and my bridal hair on my wedding day. Yet even before this, amongst the stresses of wedding planning she made me for the first time feel like a bride at my trial, was so invested in our day and experiences we shared and my hair on the wedding day was everything I had dreamed of. Emma was such a calm and positive person to be around on the wedding morning and I very grateful for that!

Really good makeup, stayed on all day no problems at all!

Emma is really great, she really knows her stuff and is super nice. She listened to what I wanted, went through a lot of iterations to get it just right extremely patiently and did a great job on the day. I have acne prone skin so she used only sensitive skin products and I did not have any breakouts which was such a pleasant surprise! I would definitely recommend not to skip the trial.
