I understand how important it is for a bride to look and feel her best on her big day. With my attention to detail, calming presence, and quick response time, I aim to ensure you feel at ease throughout the process.

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 :)

Amazing!!!

I cannot recommend Natalie enough as a wedding makeup artist! From the moment she arrived on the wedding morning, she was not only incredibly talented but also so friendly and calming.

She made me feel amazing, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to have around during such a busy and emotional time.

Natalie was more than just a makeup artist—she was a calming presence who helped ease my nerves and even answered questions for others so I didn’t have to stress about anything.

She worked magic on me, my bridesmaids, and even made my flower girl feel special, which was so sweet! The communication with her was clear and professional from the start, and she gave excellent advice on skincare prep and how to maintain our makeup throughout the day.

Thanks to Natalie, my wedding morning was absolutely perfect. She helped create such a positive, relaxed vibe, and I’m so grateful to have had her be a part of my big day!

Amazing!!!

Natalie was so lovely, we had a trial make up session and she made me feel so comfortable and matched my skin well and everything I asked for, she was very flexible when I asked to add someone in and then unfortunately had to remove them due to travel issues. She was amazing with my children and pretended to put foundation in them when doing there eye makeup. Was quick to respond to emails or texts arrived on time and was just a pleasure to have doing our make up in wedding day making me feel at ease. Thankyou so much. Will definitely use again if needed and would 100% recommend x

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.
