Jenna Sent on 02/06/2026More than a make up artist - A wedding day angel!
I honestly cannot recommend Karen highly enough. From my trial to my wedding day, she was an absolute dream to work with.
My trial was such a lovely experience, we had so much fun, chatted for hours, and it felt like spending time with an old friend. Karen was so generous with her knowledge and gave me so much helpful advice, not just about makeup but about the wedding day itself. It left me feeling excited, reassured, and completely confident that I was in the best hands.
A few days before the wedding, I developed a cold sore and was absolutely devastated. Karen was so kind and calming about it, reassuring me every step of the way and making me feel so much better about the situation. Thanks to her incredible skill, you genuinely would never have known it was there. She completely took away what had become a huge worry and allowed me to focus on enjoying one of the happiest days of my life.
On the wedding morning, Karen brought such a warm, positive energy (and the music!). She has an amazing ability to read the room and knew exactly when to chat, when to offer reassurance, and when to quietly let everyone enjoy the moment. She helped create such a relaxed atmosphere and made the whole morning feel even more special.
My makeup (and my bridesmaids) was absolutely flawless. It looked beautiful in person, photographed perfectly, and stayed put all day and night. Most importantly, I felt completely like myself—just a more radiant, confident version.
Karen, thank you for your kindness, patience, advice, talent, and for making me feel so beautiful and calm on such an important day. You are truly exceptional at what you do, and I feel so lucky to have had you as part of our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. ❤️ -

Lovely, professional makeup artist
Karen has been amazing from the start! She set up a call with me to discuss my makeup preferences and just to get to know me, which I thought was very kind and showed that she cared a lot about her job as well as her clients. She did a trial for me a few months before the wedding, she came to my house and we chatted and had a laugh while she did my tester makeup. On the day, she brought a friend with her to help, at no extra charge, and was very time efficient. Karen is a lovely lady who definitely knows her stuff. She uses pretty much all vegan and cruelty free makeup, which lasted all day and looked amazing! I highly recommend her to any brides - she kept in contact a lot, made sure she knew everyone’s skin types and any allergies to ensure myself and my bridesmaids had the right products for our skin. She is also one of the most fairly priced MUA’s out there - but the quality of products, knowledge and care speaks for itself! You can’t go wrong with Be Simply Beautiful!Be Simply Beautiful's reply:
What a thoroughly lovely review…thank you so much! It was an amazing wedding morning and a lot of fun! You all looked beautiful! Choosing and booking a Makeup Artist for the most important day of your life is a big wedding planning decision, and your happiness is always at the heart of what I do. Your photos from the day are absolutely stunning and show just how much love you and your husband have together (are you used to saying husband yet?!!) I wish you both all the happiness in the world, and many congratulations to you both as you embark on your new journey together 🥂 -

Karen was wonderful
Karen was just fab. I don’t live in the area so it was a little daunting and I know very little about lovely make up. She was so responsive and so encouraging and we had a lovely chat before the wedding. Then the day off, so down to earth, so chatty. Wanted her to stay all day, she was loads of fun and the make up was absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend Karen enough. If I marry again I’ll be calling Karen 🤣thank you for being part of our day!

Aww…thank you so much for your lovely review! Your wedding morning was incredible, so much fun, and the weather just perfect! Putting your face in the hands of someone you don’t know, especially without meeting them beforehand, is a huge thing to do, so thank you for trusting me on the most important day of your life!💍 I wish you, your husband and family every happiness and success in your new life together ✨ -

Wedding Makeup
Karen was the makeup artist for myself and my four bridesmaids on my wedding day last week. I had a trial a few months before where we planned what would work on the day. She kept me informed, regularly messaging and spoke to me the day before my big day to check in and make sure I was happy with everything. She listened to what I wanted and brought out the best of my features. She uses high quality products. She really did make me feel like a princess for the day.
Karen made us all look and feel so beautiful. Her attention to detail is second to none. She helped me with words of encouragement on the day when wedding nerves were getting the better of me. She was so calm on the morning and made everyone feel at ease.
I couldn’t have wished for a better makeup artist and would highly recommend! -
