Brilliant makeup artist!
Natalie did the makeup for my bridesmaids on the morning of my wedding, and she was absolutely fantastic. She created such beautiful looks that suited each of them perfectly, and the makeup lasted flawlessly all day.
She was also such a calming and friendly presence on the morning, which made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. My bridesmaids felt amazing, and we had so many compliments throughout the day.
I couldn’t recommend Natalie highly enough, thank you for helping to make the day so special!

Wonderful MUA
Could not have asked for a better MUA, Natalie was such a warm, friendly and calm presence to have on the morning and I was so pleased with how my makeup turned out, and lasted all day!

Absolutely amazing!!
Natalie was fantastic from my first comms all the way up to the booking. I wanted darker make up and she was transparent about she would have available and what could be possible. Nothing was too much trouble and she explained everything she did while doing it. She also checked in with me to make sure everything felt okay on my face. Natalie was also very friendly and I felt totally at ease with her. I was finished around 4:30pm and everything still looked incredible at 2am!! Highly recommend! I will definitely be booking for any future events!

Wonderful and friendly makeup artist
Natalie was a joy to have do my makeup on my wedding day. She did 7 people’s makeup in total and ran on time. Natalie is the MUA to use if you like a natural glowy looking bridal makeup that enhances your best features.

Amazing Makeup Artist!
Natalie did my wedding makeup in September 2024 and she was absolutely brilliant! Natalie had such great communication and responded to any questions quickly. Not only is Natalie such a lovely person but she put me at such ease on the morning of my wedding! My makeup lasted all day and me and my bridesmaids were so happy with the results! I can’t recommend Natalie enough - thank you so much!

Natalie was amazing when I hired her to do my make up for my wedding last August. Natalie was full of knowledge and offered trials, skincare advise and was open to changing things up last minute. Natalie not only did my make up but my bridesmaids, mum and mum in law.

Couldn't have asked for a better MUA...
Natalie was amazing right from the initial contact when I enquired about pricing and services etc, to the morning of the wedding itself. Communication was always super friendly and responsive. Natalie did make-up for me, my Mum, Sister and two Bridesmaids and put everyone at ease with her kind and calm nature... It was lovely to have her as part of the morning prep. Everyone was incredibly happy with their finished look (including my Mum who'd been worried as she'd never had her make-up done professionally before!) and the make-up stayed in place perfectly all day. I'm honestly so happy I booked Natalie & would 100% recommend her to future brides :)

A very talented makeup artist
I booked Natalie to be my makeup artist for my wedding March 2024. She did a wonderful job and I was very pleased with the final result and so was my wedding party. I had a trial before hand which was worth the money as during this she was able to understand the brief and we had time to have a go at a few different looks that I was hoping for. In the end I decided on the final look, ready for my big day. On the morning Natalie turned up on time as was very professional throughout the morning. She made me feel at ease and when I saw the final result I was blown away… my makeup lasted all day and all evening and didn’t smudge at all. She was very kind and let me know the lipstick she was using during my trial so that I could buy this in advance to top up during the day. I would highly recommend Natalie to everyone. Such a lovely person and a sensational MUA.

Perfect makeup!
Natalie all I can really say is thankyou. From initial contact to the wedding day you have been nothing but amazing. Your responses were always prompt and nothing was too much of an ask. You gave great advice and really took your time with explaining everything and making sure my vision was achieved. The whole bridal party said how lovely you were. The whole wedding party commented on how lovely my makeup was. The makeup lasted the whole day and did not move! You helped the morning run so smoothly. For anyone wanting a talented MUA who is laid back, funny and just genuinely lovely then do not hesitate and book Natalie! You really won’t be disappointed!

Perfect Morning!
I used Natalie for my wedding in June 2024. From the moment I made the enquiry, to the trials for my mum and myself, to the wedding day itself, Natalie was amazing. She was quick to reply to my messages and was adaptable to our very last minute wedding plan changes and venue changes. Nothing seemed to bother Natalie and she adapted to the situations with such professionalism.
On the wedding day she turned up on time, if not a bit early which made me relax so much. She worked so well alongside my hairdresser who I had booked separately. Natalie made it a fun and relaxed morning, fitting in well to the morning with my mum and bridesmaids. The quality of the makeup was absolutely outstanding. She made sure she stayed around until the cars arrived to leave for the wedding, do any top ups we needed. She also provided the lipstick in a little pot so we could top it up ourselves as the day went one. I found the makeup lasted all day and had so many compliments on it.
I would highly recommend Natalie and will definitely use her for any other make up needs I need in the future.
