Would recommend!

Alex was an absolute dream on the day. She did all my bridesmaids make up, and mine, to an excellent standard.

My make up lasted all day and I've never felt more beautiful. Alex also listened to my comment about my dark circles under my eyes at the trial, and brought cooling under eye gels to help - the small touch to help with my insecurity was greatly appreciated.

Alex was also friendly and easy to get on with, making the getting ready experience more enjoyable as well.

Booked for my wedding was amazing!

Booked Alex for my wedding on the 21st of July 2024. She made me feel so comfortable from the beginning as I don’t usually trust anyone doing my makeup. She understood what look I was going for and made me feel so perfect on my wedding day. She also did my bridesmaids makeups and they only have positive things to say about the experience. I would 100% recommend Alex as the makeup is amazing but also Alex as a person and a professional is top notch.

Glamorous Mother of the Groom make up.

Alex was so professional when she did my Mother of the Groom make up. I felt like a million dollars and the make up made me feel so much younger. It also lasted all day. Even though I have the same products I’m not able to achieve the same results myself. I had lots of compliments on the look.

Professional and high quality

Alex did a fantastic job of mine and my mum’s makeup on my wedding weekend.

Alex made sure we booked in plenty of time and had so many lovely products. The whole process was very relaxing and Alex applied the makeup beautifully. Alex was super professional and arrived early on both days.

Thank you Alex for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding weekend!

Absolutely perfect

Alex was the perfect choice for my bridal makeup. She went above and beyond to accommodate a bridal party with two brides, two sets of bridesmaids and mother of the brides - no easy feat! But delivered it all perfectly.

Alex came to us for the trial, which was lovely from the comfort of our own home, and made sure we were happy with every aspect of our makeup for the day. I asked for a natural face and was so happy with the end result.

The makeup lasted all day, and although Alex provided me with a wonderful top up kit (including lash glue, lipstick and powder top up) I found I didn't need it because she'd done such a great job in the morning. All of the products used were great quality and I felt well and truly pampered.

I really can't recommend Alex more!

Alex saved the day!

After a previous makeup artist bailed on me. I found alex on hitched, she responded quickly and during my trial talked me through all she was doing but also checked in at every stage to see if it was how I wanted my makeup to look, she made me so at ease and made it comfortable to say if I wanted to try more blush or change eyeshadow etc. She was a ray of sunshine on the wedding morning everyone loved chatting with her. From a range if soft glam to natural looking makeup for my mum. Alex even went the extra mile by talking me through ways to sort my skin out that i was struggling with and look after it, not only for the wedding but for me in general. Most of all alex made us all feel gorgeous in ourselves not just with the makeup. If I ever need a makeup artist again I would pick alex everytime.

Fantastic make up by a lovely lady!

Alexandra did wedding make up for myself, my mum and my 4 bridesmaids and everybody loved it. She matched the make up to my request but also to fit the preferences and age of each person. The make up lasted all day and was really comfortable. She is so lovely and I would recommend in a heartbeat.

Amazing artist and so lovely to be around

Alex is an incredible make up artist. She did wedding guest make up for myself, my sister in law and my mother in law and was the sweetest person ever. She has an amazingly extensive kit and asked all the right questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Our make up was amazing, she is so talented. She could do any style and nothing was too much. I couldn’t find anyone to do my hair for the day so Alex stepped in and did it herself. Nothing was too much for her.

bridesmaid makeup

I have lupus so need good make up to cover the red rash on my skin (cheeks and nose etc). Alex did an amazing job and it stayed on all day. She asked exactly what i wanted which was natural and dewy. Everyone said I looked amazing. I wish I could do my make up like it everyday! She also did false eyelashes which I've only ever had once before and they stayed on too and look great on the photos. thank you.
