Perfection

Stacey was amazing from the trial to the big day, myself and my bridesmaids all felt and looked beautiful, nothing was to much trouble in fact Stacey was helping get the girls dressed she really didn’t have to but she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I knew I wanted Stacey from the start as she was the makeup artist at my daughter’s wedding! Stacey is the best makeup artist I have ever worked with and can’t recommend her highly enough. 100% the best at what she does xx

Stacey... without you i dont think i'd have made it through ❤️

Where do i even begin with the most amazing person in the world! ❤️
Nothing about my wedding day went even close to the plan never mind a schedual.
With our youngest daughters, our twin girls, taking seizures at the very same time in school, 1st just as they arrived then more around 12 just as i was leaving to head the the venue. Everything was up in the air, skin care was out the window & i couldnt stop crying, i thought our wedding was off.
After collecting our girls & arriving at the venue, later than ever before, There was Stacey, She gave me the biggest cuddle & understood everything that happened. I was feeling so horrid being so late knowing how important timing was & with puffy red and sore eyes from crying, but Stacey just did all she could to make me feel at ease, calm me down & make it feel like everything was going to be okay ❤️
Luckly our girls were right as rain, just a little sleepy, Stacey had already made my older girls & my bridesmaids look beyond stunning and they adored it, even my oldest daughter who hates even the thought of make up, felt so beautiful (and she was/is 😍) My turn and Stacey worked some kind of magic & i didnt even look like id been crying non stop for hours...I looked & felt so beautiful 😭❤️ It was more than i ever could have imagined... and for the 1st time i really felt ready to head up to meet & marry my, now, husband and i felt beautiful doing it, All thanks to the most Amazing person ever. Stacey ❤️ My make up lasted all night even with countless kissing photos 🤭 My lipstick is my new fave shade & it was perfection, having Stacey get it made for me on my wedding day came in so handy, specially with so many of the above photos 😂 I had a perfect top up to keep the whole look perfect ❤️ I now have a reminder of my wedding day that i can wear anytime too ✨️ I cant ever thank Stacey enough for every little thing she did for me, from a skin care plan in the up coming weeks, to how amazing she was with my 5 girls or simply getting me a glass of water ❤️ I couldnt have done my big day without her or have felt even close, to as beautiful as i did ❤️✨️

Friendly Welcoming and Versatile!

Stacey was an absolute gem on my wedding day and my wedding blessing day. She was super responsive to all my queries ahead of booking, I had never had make up done so I had a lot of questions! She was so friendly and welcoming to myself and maid of honour for our trials, it felt like a proper gals day out just making pals with Stacey. She was also super accommodating to my party as I had a junior bridesmaid who as a teen, tends to change her mind with the wind as to whether or not she'd be wearing make up on the day and she was able to squeeze on my mum to the appointment after she'd been determined to do her make up herself to them change her mind 2 months before the big day! Thank you again Stacey! On top of all this, she was able to cater to our different skin types and preferences, my mum has bells palsy and doesn't like any heavy make up, my niece prefers a grungy look to clean girl, my MoH has sensitive skin and then there's me, the bride, asking her to put antler inspired pins in my hair and do two lippy looks for two days. (I'm sure we were an absolute breeze! Haha)
Make up looked fantastic on day 1, I had a softer lip look for this day for a romantic vibe. Stacey was fantastically patient with me after a taxi disaster made me 20 mins late (sorry again!) Lasted all day, despite my best efforts with me getting a cheeky winch with my groom directly after the ceremony in the wee room away from the guests.
For day 2 at my wedding blessing, the make up was put through its paces and lasted all night with me having a couples photo opportunity in the Scottish drizzle in the forest, dancing all night and heading to the pub to keep the party going. A wee touch up with a powder puff and lippy applicators that Stacey provided had me sorted!
My hair has never looked so good and my curls have never held so well. It survived rain, my first dance which had a mosh pit and the obligatory Loch Lomond ending to all Scottish Weddings!
You made me feel like the most beautiful bride and I was the most photogenic I've ever been! Thank you so so much Stacey! 🥰

Excellent MUA!

Stacey is absolutely amazing... super friendly and so professional.. she instantly makes you feel at ease ... as an older bride I wasnt sure what I wanted but she worked her magic and I loved it .. the make up trial was brilliant and on my wedding day she had 3 of us plus 2 of our flower girls who she also gave a little makeover too and they loved the attention ... I would totally recommend booking Stacey as your MUA ..you certainly won't be disappointed because she is fab! (Photo is from my make up trial)

The Perfect Make-Up Artist for My Wedding!

After lots of research I came across Stacey and I’m so glad I chose her as my wedding make-up artist. From my trial she made me feel completely at ease, talking me through different options until we found the perfect look. Her salon is so welcoming and she is such a lovely, friendly person.

In the lead up to the wedding I had my brows waxed and tinted with Stacey, the best they’ve ever looked! I also asked her to order me a couple of products to use on the day, which was really helpful.

On the morning of the wedding she looked after my bridesmaids, my mum and me, and everyone was delighted with how they looked. Even those who don’t usually wear make-up felt comfortable and confident. Stacey created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere and even helped me with my dress before I left.

I absolutely loved my make-up, had so many compliments, and felt amazing all day. Stacey is incredibly talented and such a lovely person to have around on your wedding morning, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Perfect wedding day makeup

I booked Stacey for my make up on my wedding day and I'm so pleased. I went to visit Stacey the year before for make up for an event and my make up was great. At this appointment she gave me advice on how to get my skin in a better condition for my wedding. I followed her advice and my skin was in great condition by my wedding day trail and even better for my wedding day! My makeup was flawless. Stacey is lovely and very professional. I'd definitely recommend! And I will definitely go to Stacey if ever needing make up done! Thank you again Stacey xx

Brilliant make up artist and lovely person

I booked in with Stacey after seeing her make up at a wedding fair fashion show and being very impressed with how great the ‘models’ looked. I’d originally booked in with another lady and paid the deposit but I wasn’t happy with what she’d done so went to Stacey for a trial. I immediately felt confident with her and knew she would fit in well on my wedding morning. As a mature bride she made me look amazing and very glamorous, which is just the look I was after.

On the day itself, she arrived promptly and was flexible fitting in around the hairdressers etc. She was an absolute joy to have in the glam squad and we had such a great time.

All make up looked incredible and I will definitely use her again for nights out. Oh to look that incredible again!

If you are looking for a professional, highly skilled and all round lovely MUA, Stacey is the right person for you.

Thank you Stacey - you’re a star!

Excellent, very friendly

Stacey is a very friendly and chatty but exceptionally professional. She did the make up for myself and my mum (people who normally doesn't wear makeup) and my sister. The makeup looks were exactly what we were all looking for and it kept all night. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone - she was communicative, made us all felt relaxed during the morning and got everything done quite quickly!

Thanks again Stacey!

She made my day so much better!

Where do I start. I’m so happy I found Stacey. She was originally recommended by my venue and I had no experience with make up artists so went along to the trial to meet Stacey and see how I’d feel in the chair/with a full make-up face on!
The appointment was excellent, I informed Stacey I had extremely sensitive skin, especially around my eyes but that I was happy to proceed with the full bridal make-up because I wanted to see how I’d react. She made me feel at ease, I was comfortable in her presence and we just chatted as if we had known each other for years!! The decision to go for full bridal make-up on my skin was definitely wrong, and I had a major reaction BUT that was my decision. How Stacey proceeded was exactly what makes me recommend her 10000%.
She brought me back in within the week and worked with me, and my skin to see what was comfortable and what would work. She showed grace and patience when I initially told her of my reaction and she worked hard to find something that helped. By the end of the second appointment I was over the moon, I felt like a princess AND I had managed to keep it on all day with no reaction!
On the day, Stacey was the first one in the venue (and there was a small incident outside) when I arrived the first thing she did was explain the incident to me, and how and when it was going to be fixed. She was like a fairy godmother!!
Needless to say I won’t be going anywhere else in the future - you can’t buy customer service like that, she was caring and in it to make me feel a million dollars. Thank you so much Stacey!

Highly Recommend

I cannot recommend Stacey enough! She did an absolutely incredible job on my bridal makeup, as well as for my 4 bridesmaids, my mum, the groom’s mum, and our flower girls. From the moment we met, her lovely personality put us all at ease. She truly listened to everyone’s preferences and made us all feel so comfortable and confident.

Her makeup skills are phenomenal! Every single look was flawless and perfectly suited to each individual. She has an incredible eye for detail and used high-quality products that lasted throughout the entire day and night. We all felt like the best versions of ourselves, and the makeup stayed fresh, even through tears and dancing!

Not only was she talented, but she was also warm, professional, and so attentive to every detail. She made the morning of the wedding so relaxing and fun for everyone, and we all received endless compliments on our makeup. If you’re looking for someone who combines exceptional talent with a genuinely kind and caring nature, Stacey is the one to go to!

Best wedding MUA ever!

Stacey was unbelievable on my wedding day and the trials prior. So immensely talented and her attention to detail is unmatched. I had my makeup plus 4 bridesmaids and MOB and our makeup lasted all day and received nothing but compliments on the makeup all day! Stacey arrived on time and stayed after for makeup touch ups and i actually prefer some of the pictures she took compared to my photographer!

Made my wedding party all feel amazing

I got ready & married at Coats in Paisley on 30th November, 2024, and Stacey did my make-up, and my 2 daughters who were my bridesmaids. From the minute I booked with Stacey, everything was easy, booking in trials, apts for eyebrows, and on the day everything ran to clockwork and Stacey made us all feel amazing! Stacey is not only an amazing make up artist but she is a lovely girl and made me feel so at ease! I will definitely be using Stacey again, and would recommend her 100% Lx

Best makeup artist ever

I cannot recommend Stacey enough. Stacey did the make up for my wedding on 19 Nov 22 and my mum and Maids of Honours makeup. Not only are her make up skills clearly amazing she goes above and beyond. From the beginning her communication was fantastic and I felt very secure with her for my wedding day. She arranged for us all to have the lipsticks we wanted on the day beforehand and made up wee touch up kits which really were a special touch. Stacey arrived early and had everyone's makeup done in perfect timing. On the day she stayed until I walked down the aisle and made sure everything was perfect (including putting in my veil and arranging beautiful photo opportunities). Thank you so much Stacey!! You are the best!!
