I'm so glad I chose Rachael for my wedding day make-up. Not only did she created a look that felt 100% me, she was a wonderful, calming presence on the day. All of my wedding party, especially my mum, have all commented on how much they enjoyed the whole experience and how special it made them feel. Thank you so much ❤️

Rachael Calahin Review
Rachael is amazing! She made me feel so at ease and relaxed on the day, and did a great job of making me look like the best version of myself. The whole process was so seamless, and she is also just really lovely and easy to get along with. Would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for someone reliable, flexible, friendly and professional to make them look and feel their best on their special day!

An amazing lady!
I discovered Rachael through Hitched and listing from my wedding venue! As soon as I reached out, Rachael responded quickly to confirm her availability and secure my wedding date! From initial communication covering suggestions, to trial and during my wedding day, Rachael provided not only myself but all my bridal party with complete reassurance and an air of calmness!
Rachael went through all the minor details of my wedding day during my trial, including colours and themes! She listened to my concerns as I don’t wear make up on a daily basis but again, Rachael gave me so my confidence!
Thank you Rachael so much and I highly recommend you to a bride to be 🥰

The best for a natural look
As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, Rachael as a makeup artist was the perfect choice for creating a natural look for me and my bridesmaids. She was quick to respond to any queries I had and even messaged me the night before the wedding to make sure I was okay and to remind me to stay hydrated. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

A very talented make up artist!
From the first time I met with Rachael for my make up trial she made me feel at ease and listened to what my vision was. She is friendly, professional and reassuring all the way through. During the week of the wedding my skin suffered a bad breakout of acne which Rachael managed to cover beautifully for my ceremony and made me look and feel so pretty. She was also great with my bridesmaids and my mum who also had their make up done by Rachael on the day. She is very talented and also great to talk to. She has this calming nature about her as well as a lovely sense of humour which is exactly what you need in the morning of your wedding when the nerves start to kick in. I cannot recommend Rachael enough - thank you.
