Pure class!

Hannah was absolutely fantastic in the lead up to our wedding, answering any questions i had very quickly and listening carefully to the LOOK i wanted on my trial. Hannah was so calming on the morning of the wedding which made us all feel at ease and relaxed on which can be a stressful morning. I cannot recommend Hannah enough if you are looking for a classy glowing look on your wedding day. Several people from the wedding commented on the whole bridal party makeup which lasted all day. Thank you for being apart of our special day. x

Perfect in every way!

Hannah is just the loveliest person to have with you on the morning of the wedding. She was so relaxed, chatty and just a genuinely warm person. My make up was beautiful, exactly what I envisioned and lasted the entire day and night. I was so reluctant to wash it off! The entire bridal party were thrilled with their make up, particularly my mum who was worried about it looking “too much” but now wants to know all the products Hannah used because she loved it so much! Hannah was also brilliant in the lead up to the wedding, I asked her about my skincare routine and she gave great advice and recommended products to suit my skin, which I still use now. This resulted in my skin being flawless and soft on the day, helping my make up application to go on smoothly and stay put! Hannah really is the perfect make up artist for your wedding day. Thank you so much x

Thank you a million times over

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Hannah for being the most amazing make up artist we could have wished for. I first met Hannah when she was the make up artist for my brother and sister in laws wedding, I was one of the bridesmaids and Hannah was incredible. by the time Hannah was finished with us we all looked fabulous.

Then comes my sisters wedding (who was also a bridesmaid for my sister in law), and naturally my sister wanted nobody but Hannah to be her make up artist. I again was a bridesmaid. Hannah truly had her work cut out with me this time, having just recovered from being very poorly with Covid, it was touch and go wether I would be able to be at my sisters wedding at all, but thankfully I started testing negative and although I looked like death, I could be there. Poor Hannah had to transform me from a washed out mess to a beautiful bridesmaid, and boy did she deliver. My own father didn't recognise me as I left the room after bing transformed, his jaw hit the floor when he realised it was me!

Then came my turn, I live out of area for Hannah but there was nobody I would have wanted more to do my make up and thankfully Hannah agreed to come out of area to be mine and my bridesmaids make up artist (including my sister for the third time too). I had not a single worry about how beautiful Hannah would make us look. As always Hannah delivered in every way. Not only is she an incredible make up artist, she is also incredibly kind, easy to chat to, and genuinely, nothing is too much for her.

I would recommend Hannah, time and time again without hesitation. Thank you doesn't seem enough, but thank you! Thank you a million times over! xx

Amazing Lady!

Thank you so much Hannah, you were so patient with me! I had my first trial with Hannah but me being me, decided I needed a second one and Hannah was so accommodating when I just couldn’t make up my mind! She helped me choose the right look and made me feel so comfortable. She’s friendly and extremely talented at what she does and I’d recommend her to anyone!

Outstanding

I cant recommend Hannah highly enough. She is the perfect blend of professionalism and complete loveliness! Hannah did my make up for my wedding. I'm not a make up person and hadn't worn any for literally years until my wedding so I wasn't sure what to expect or what I even wanted. Hannah put me at ease straight away, explaining all the options and what she thought would work for me. We had a trial run first then Hannah came to my Mum and Dad's on my wedding day and did a simply perfect job, even waiting around until I was totally ready and in my dress incase any touch ups were needed. The whole process with Hannah was a fabulous experience and I can't thank her enough.

Simply wonderful!

Hannah, thank you so much for doing my bridal make up - I felt like a million dollars! As someone who doesn’t wear much make up, I really appreciated you taking things slowly at the trial and suggesting different things we could try. You were also so very kind to my Mum and my little flower girls on the wedding day, which just goes to show what a lovely person you truly are!

A beautiful human being

Oh Hannah. I don’t really know how to write this review as I can’t find words that do it justice. Hannah was recommended to me by my hair stylist, and I am eternally grateful. Mum and I went to see Hannah for my first trial, on probably the hottest day of the year of 2022. Trying to put makeup on a sweaty face must have been less then pleasant! As someone who doesn’t usually wear makeup, it was most definitely a trial for me, but Hannah was amazing at starting from the beginning and just rolling with it. I had a minimal look which is exactly what I wanted. We struggled a bit with lip colour, but purely because I have fair skin, that any lippy just looked too much. So, I went back for a second trial and Hannah absolutely nailed it. Myself, my mum, and my maid of honour looked so beautiful on my wedding day, and the makeup stayed there the whole time! On a different note, yes Hannah is an excellent MUA, but honestly I really felt like I had a friend there with me on the day. Hannah got married at the same venue I did about a month before, so it was lovely to share stories, and dramas. Both her and my hair stylist stayed right though until it was time for me to leave and were so good at calming me down. Hannah even gave me part of her breakfast to get some sugar in me! My whole bridal party and I absolutely love her, and I will recommend her to anyone that will listen. She is so lovely, and funny, and just brilliant. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Simply the best

Hannah has changed my life. This sounds very extreme, however she hasn't only done my amazing wedding makeup, which was everything I wanted, but she also gave me a new skin care routine.
I suffer with eczema really bad, and I was worried about my wedding day make up and flare ups.
Hannah has so much experience and she advised that I used Avene products leading up to the wedding.
Hannah also noticed a big difference to my skin. Our wedding make-up was out of this world. Thank you so much Hannah for everything. I've made a friend for life.
Thanks.

Hannah is the best, so friendly and talented!

Hannah was just great! Not only does she really listen and create a perfect look that still feels like you but she’s great to have around when you’re getting ready. She’s so friendly, bubbly and warm, she slots right in. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Absolutely perfect!

Hannah was absolutely amazing from the start! There is no other make up artist I would go to.
At the trial, she listened to what I wanted and looked through many Pinterest photos with me!
On the day, she kept me calm and went above and beyond helping me with the photographer and my dress.
The entire bridal party loved their make up and the relaxed atmosphere in the room.
I wish I could have Hannah do my make up every day!

Professional, kind and fabulous

From the very beginning Hannah was so lovely, helpful and responsive. The makeup trial was so helpful in making me feel comfortable and excited about wearing a little more makeup than I’d usually wear for my wedding, still making me feel like me but a more confident version. Hannah was also so helpful in providing skincare recommendations prior to the wedding to ensure that my skin was as healthy as it could be in the run up to the wedding. On the morning of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and was completely stress free, all thanks to Hannah’s fab organisation skills. She also made my mum and bridesmaids all feel brilliant too. Thank you so much!

10/10 make up artist

Hannah was absolutely outstanding from start to finish.. Hannah was responsive throughout the whole process. she was flexible with changes to my booking, kept in touch and also provided some great skin care techniques to help prior to the wedding day.
During the trial, Hannah put me at ease straight away. She listened to my vague ideas and although i didn’t know much about the ins and outs of make up, Hannah worked her magic and managed to create exactly what I wanted. No task was too big!

On my wedding day Hannah arrived on time with a big excited smile on her face. She was warm, chatty and just so lovely. It was exactly what I needed the morning of my wedding. Getting ready on my wedding day, it was like having an extra friend, rather than a make up artist.

I had so many lovely compliments throughout my wedding day and I put that down to Hannah and the amazing work she did! I still felt and looked like me, but the prettiest/best version. I cannot thank her enough for giving me the confidence I needed.
I also loved that Hannah stayed around until I’d got my dress on so she could do the final final touches. I could not recommend Hannah more! It was the best decision booking her.

Look no further!

Everything I could have ever dreamed of looking for my wedding had come true. Hannah made me feel wonderful and complete. She is a professional, calm, warm and truly talented woman. She’s listens to you and understands your needs, which was a peace of mind. Hannah is responsive when it comes to communication and so personable. She was a friendly face the morning of my wedding and made me smile. Hannah is very talented and she made me feel the beautiful,
As I have tried to imagined I would hope to look like on my wedding day. I would recommend Hannah to any bride .

Loved my makeup on the day and in photos, so glad I went with Hannah!

Hannah is so lovely and really listens to what you want. I could not fault mine or any of the bridal party’s makeup. It didn’t seem to budge all day and night, which I usually struggle with and it was so natural looking and feeling! Hannah really takes in to account what you would normally wear day to day and what you will feel you’re most comfortable with on the day. Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do our makeup!

Hannah was amazing!

Hannah was just incredible! She truly went above and beyond from my make up trial to my wedding day. Not only did she make us all look incredible, but she fitted in so well with her warm, bubbly personality, and even helped us with our flowers! She was incredible with my mum who isn't a make up wearer so was very nervous, but on the trial Hannah went out of her way to make her feel completely at ease and made her feel so special and amazing! And of course the make up itself was just gorgeous, Hannah listened to exactly what I wanted, and I felt so beautiful all day. Thank you Hannah for making my day so amazing!
