Amazing make-up artist!
We had the most wonderful experience with Phoebe on our wedding day! Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the makeup perfectly matched our inspiration photos - exactly what we wanted. Phoebe was so receptive to everyone’s requests and made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. Her calm and friendly presence really helped us all feel at ease. It was such a pleasure having her with us on the wedding morning, and her bright, fun personality added so much to the day. Highly recommend Phoebe for anyone looking for a talented and personable makeup artist!

Flawless Makeup & A Calm Presence – Phoebe Is Incredible!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (if I could give more stars I would!)
Phoebe was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding! From the trial to the big day, she made everything so easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and created a bridal look that made me feel completely like myself – just the most polished, radiant version!
My bridesmaids all looked stunning as well – each look was tailored to suit their features and personalities perfectly. The makeup lasted all day and night (even through happy tears and dancing!) and looked amazing in both real life and in the photos.
Beyond her amazing talent, Phoebe brought such a calm and positive energy to the morning of the wedding. She kept everything running smoothly and helped set the tone for a stress-free, joyful start to the day.
I can’t recommend Phoebe highly enough – she’s not only incredibly skilled but also a truly lovely person to have by your side on such a special day.

Perfect! Book ASAP!!
I had the absolute pleasure of having Phoebe do my wedding make up, along with my four bridesmaids and mother of the groom. Phoebe is such a lovely, talented lady and nothing is too much trouble! From my first email enquiry, Phoebe was very responsive, professional and made the whole wedding planning process a lot easier. I had such a great time at my trial, which made me even more excited to see the results on my wedding day.
On the day everyone looked amazing, felt so beautiful and it lasted all day! I was so happy Phoebe was a part of our special day, she brought such a calm and confident atmosphere which made the morning so enjoyable.
I cannot recommend Phoebe enough for wedding makeup!

Amazing, book her now!
Phoebe did my makeup for my wedding, as well as my 4 bridesmaids and my mum. We all felt absolutely amazing and we cannot thank her enough. My mum had never had her makeup done and she felt very listened to and loved her makeup. I felt like an elevated version of myself, glam but still natural. Phoebe is truly talented at what she does!
All the way from my first enquiry to the wedding day, Phoebe has been responsive, professional and just absolutely lovely. We had a trial together with Lara (hair), and the two of them are an amazing team. I felt so comfortable and understood.
On the wedding morning Phoebe really added to the happy and fun atmostphere, she felt like one of the girls! Everyone needs to book her ASAP.
Phoebe I can't thank you enough.

Natural Glam Bridal Perfection
Where do I start with Phoebe? She truly is one of the kindest souls and one of the most talented women I have met.
From the very first email to the trial day (where we had a HOOT!) and every day leading up to our wedding day itself, Phoebe was so professional, helpful, supportive, and accommodating.
On our wedding day, Phoebe created the most incredible looks on all of us - bride, bridesmaids, mother of bride - with such a calm and confident aura. Sitting in Phoebe’s chair was a pleasure, and a moment of calm among the chaos. My makeup was just perfect, as were all of the bridal party, and the looks lasted through a LOT of dancing and fun.
I will be forever grateful our paths crossed and that she was a part of our special day!
Phoebe and Lara are most certainly part of our girl gang and this defo isn’t the last of us 😆

Phoebe is the best
Phoebe is the most lovely human as well as being super talented at what she does. Her makeup is outstanding and so wonderful. From booking Phoebe to my wedding day, the process was a dream and she made me feel so happy and looked after. The trial was great and her advice is second to none! Skincare on the morning of the wedding was such an enjoyable experience and she really does bring the fun and joy to your wedding morning too. My makeup lasted all day with barely any touch ups and everyone complimented it. Highly highly recommend.

Beautiful person, beautiful make up
I’m so pleased I chose Phoebe as my MUA for the wedding. I’d had a couple of not so great experiences with other wedding MUAs whilst deciding who to choose, so when I came across Phoebe her attitude and communication was so refreshing and an absolute relief if I’m honest. Some of my girls aren’t huge make up wearers and Phoebe was completely open to adapting the looks for the day and making them personal to each of us, natural and glowy and with the best lashes I’ve ever had!!!! Oh those lashes 🥰.
Phoebe, thank you so much for being part of my team. The products you used were fantastic, I can’t believe how well it lasted throughout the day and night despite eating, drinking and 4 solid hours of dancing, it was all still there looking perfect at midnight. The lashes made it right to the end of my mini moon a week later! You were calm, kind and professional from start to finish, happy to take onboard any feedback following the trial and make the relevant changes and we all enjoyed spending the morning with you so much.

Absolutely fantastic!
Phoebe was fantastic, super calm and very very talented she was a pleasure to have doing my makeup. I really wanted a natural glam look and she definitely delivered I didn't have anything I wanted to change as she listened to what I like and didn't and the outcome was perfect.
I would honestly recommend Phoebe to anyone for their wedding day, she is so talented and I can't count the amount of compliments I received!
