11th July Wedding

Nelia was the utmost professional from the start. Communicative and helpful, we had a trial at home where she listened to what I wanted and made me feel super comfortable. Nelia is so lovely and we got on so well, it was a delight to have her with me on my wedding morning. The day of the wedding she arrived promptly and was set up and ready to go in no time. She did my bridesmaids make up beautifully, and then managed to do nearly all of my make up whilst my little boy sat on my lap, which was so important to me as it kept him nice and calm amongst the bustle of the morning. I should mention that the day I got married was HOT and my make up stayed in place all day! Thank you Nelia - you were the dream.

Perfect Wedding Makeup!!

My experience as a bride with Nelia was perfect from start to finish. When I met her for my initial bridal trail she was so friendly, kind and really took time to re-create the look I wanted to achieve for my wedding day! I knew from that trial she was 100% the perfect person! I was so impressed with her work I booked her for my Hen Do too. She again did the most wonderful job! On the morning of my wedding she was so calm, organised, punctual and wonderful to have on my special day. She made me feel so beautiful and exactly how every bride wants to feel on her wedding day!

Nelia is sensational at her job and you’re in safe hands with her. She is so accommodating if you want to change you look slightly which is so helpful. I trusted her completely for my wedding day and I will be booking her again for any other events! She was perfect!!!

Wedding 20th June 2026

I can’t recommend Nelia K enough! She did the hair and makeup for me and my daughter on my wedding day, as well as my flower girl’s hair, and we were all absolutely thrilled with the results.

Nelia’s attention to detail was incredible, and she took her time to make sure everything was perfect. We never felt rushed, and she made us all feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the morning. Even towards the end, when time was getting tight, she remained calm and professional, making sure everyone looked their absolute best.

Our hair and makeup lasted all day and evening, and we received so many compliments. Thank you, Nelia, for helping make our wedding day so special. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, and professional hair and makeup artist.Thank you so much from Clare.

Beautiful bridal makeup and hair

Nelia understood exactly the vision that I was going for and executed it perfectly. Her attention to detail is exceptional and she spent a long time during the trial making sure everything was just right. She was also a very calm presence on the day and never made me feel hurried or stressed. The makeup and hair lasted all day, which was particularly impressive considering it was 30 degrees! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will be looking for another excuse to get glam soon ♥️

Wedding Hair & MakeUp

From start to finish Nelia was amazing!
I don’t often wear make up (or dress up in general, I live in hoodies and shorts!) but Nelia listened to what I was looking for and created what you see in the photos.
I was even able to do Parkrun the morning of my wedding before having to start getting ready which I loved.
Se also did my mums make up and my sister’s hair and make up, all by herself! The morning went smoothly and she made sure I was happy before I left to get married.
Thank you so much for your part in my day, it definitely had an impact!
Would 100% recommend to others.

Bridal makeup and hairstyle

Nelia's professionalism was impeccable, her work beautiful, the makeup long-lasting without looking heavy or making my skin cracked. From the first moment, she was attentive to what I wanted and her responsiveness was excellent. Thank you so much, Nelia, you made me look wonderful.

Amazing Make up Artist based in Buckinghamshire

Nelia was amazing from our first enquiry to the very busy wedding day. I am an older bride (55) and wanted something natural but definitely noticeable. I also had 10 bridesmaids of differing ages.
We had the opportunity to see her work first hand as she did the makevup for my friends wedding. Another mature bride. Her makeup was amazing and stayed in place all day. This made our decision to book Nelia easy.
Our trial day was so enjoyable and relaxing. I went with one of my bridesmaid. We both had a full make up experience and anything we wanted to change or try was no trouble.
On the day of our wedding it was an extremely early start, 6am. Nelia arrived on time and in her normal happy self. She managed all 10 bridesmaids and myself on time and professionally while joining in with the fun. With touch ups complete she finally got to rest.
As I said the whole experience including reliable communication was outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend this talented Make up Artist. .
The feedback from my new husband and guests was all great. We all looked stunning and the makeup lasted all day and night without the need for touch ups.
Another point to make was my skin has not paid the price for wearing a full face of makeup which it is not used to doing. This is a bonus and confirmed the quality of makeup used.

I felt like a Million Dollar!

I honestly couldn’t have been happier with my wedding makeup. From the very beginning, Nelia made the whole experience feel so easy and enjoyable. She really took the time to get to know me — my likes, dislikes, and colour preferences — which instantly made me feel comfortable and completely confident putting my look in her hands.

On the day itself, Nelia created the most beautiful, natural makeup look, exactly how I’d always imagined I would look on my wedding day. It lasted perfectly from the morning all the way through to the evening celebrations, with no touch-ups needed. I genuinely felt like a million dollars, and the compliments from friends and family just kept coming.

Not only is Nelia incredibly talented, but she’s also so warm, calm, and attentive — the kind of person you really want around on such a special day. She helped me feel relaxed, confident, and like the best version of myself. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough to any bride looking for a makeup artist who truly cares and delivers flawless results.

An amazing make up artist!

I would recommend Nelia to any bride looking for a makeup artist. She was so easy to contact in the lead up to the wedding and gave me all the details on make up timings for myself and bridesmaids. On the wedding morning she arrived on time and was so lovely and friendly. I suffered with wedding morning nerves and she was so helpful with that. I was absolutely in love with my make up I didn’t want to take it off, she listened to exactly what I wanted. My makeup stayed in place all day. She did makeup on a variety of ages at my wedding ranging from 12 to 62 and all of them looked perfect. I will be be booking Nelia again in future if I have any events that require me to look my best!

The Ultimate Bridal Makeup Queen – Nelia 👸

Nelia is truly incredible. From the first preview, she instantly understood my vision and created a flawless makeup look that still felt completely like me. On the morning of the wedding, even after I decided to tweak the look, she recreated it perfectly without a trial and kept everything calm, relaxed, and right on time.

She was so kind and reassuring, especially when I was feeling nervous, and her calm presence made such a difference. She also worked wonders on my mum, and we received so many compliments throughout the day on our makeup.

Thank you, Nelia, for your amazing talent, professionalism, and for making us all feel so confident and beautiful on such a special day 🤍

The Best Bridal Makeup. Thank You, Nelia!

I truly don’t have enough words for how incredible Nelia was. She created the most beautiful bridal makeup I’ve ever worn, so flawless and soft that I genuinely wished I could look like that every day. Beyond her talent, it was her calm, kind presence that meant the world to me. She made me feel safe, beautiful, and completely at ease during one of the most emotional mornings of my life.

I’d admired her work on Instagram, but what she created for me was even more perfect than I imagined. She also made my bridesmaids and mum look stunning, and our makeup stayed flawless through every happy tear and all the dancing long past midnight.

Nelia felt like an extra bridesmaid, supportive, reassuring, and so thoughtful in every moment. I’m endlessly grateful. Thank you, Nelia 🤍

A makeup goddess!

I don’t even know where to start! I booked Nelia after seeing the incredible makeup she did for my sister-in-law’s wedding in 2024. I knew instantly she was the perfect choice for my bridal makeup.
Throughout the entire process, Nelia responded promptly and shared her professional expertise on makeup looks, guiding me to the glowing, elegant bridal style I dreamed of. When the wedding day arrived, it happened to be the hottest day of the year, and I was worried my makeup wouldn’t hold up. But Nelia worked her magic, creating my stunning bridal look plus flawless makeup for 3 bridesmaids that stayed perfect from morning through the evening, despite the intense heat.
Beyond her exceptional makeup skills, Nelia created a peaceful atmosphere every bride wants on her wedding morning. Even when we were running late, she kept everyone relaxed and on track. She was there for the final preparations too, helping my bridesmaids and mom with touch-ups and getting ready.
Thank you so much, Nelia, for everything! I’d choose you again in a heartbeat—you were absolutely phenomenal!! Xxx

Nelia absolutely nailed my dream bridal look!

Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist than Nelia. From my trial to the morning of the wedding, she was incredibly professional and clearly takes real pride in her work. I had been a little nervous beforehand as makeup can look great in photos but feel heavy in person, but Nelia got it absolutely perfect. She created the most beautiful, natural look that made me feel so happy and most importantly myself. At the trial she spent an extensive amount of time going through all the makeup inspo pictures I brought..and there was quite a lot of them. I just wasn’t sure what would suit me as I don’t wear makeup often. She didn’t only nail my look but also gave me the most valuable advice on how to prepare my skin for the wedding day. I still follow this routine and my skin never looked better 🤗

She went above and beyond on the day too, giving a lift to my two bridesmaids to the venue (we forgot to book an extra taxi 😉). My all bridesmaids and my mom were so thrilled with their looks too. I could not believe all our makeups survived the entire celebration! I can’t wait to get all my photos and post them on here.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Nelia more to any bride. She’s genuinely brilliant at what she does, I only wish I had her skills! 🥰❤️❤️❤️
