    Thank you for your lovely review! Your wedding morning was such fun, and I don’t think I have laughed so much! The weather was just beautiful for you (completely unusual for November!) so I hope you managed to go on the beach for some photos? Many congratulations to you and your husband, and I wish you every happiness in the world! 💕

    Professional, Friendly and so talented!

    I’m so grateful to Karen for the incredible job she did on my wedding makeup. She instantly put me at ease on the morning and made me feel truly beautiful and confident. My makeup didn’t budge all day, and I had so many compliments. Karen is warm, professional, and unbelievably talented — I couldn’t recommend her more. ❤️✨

    Excellent all round

    Karen was brilliant - she listened to what I wanted, advised when I needed it and was generally just a great person to have around on the wedding morning. Thank you!!

    Thank you so much for leaving such a fab review! It was a pleasure to meet you and your Mum, and it was a very relaxed and enjoyable morning with you both. Boringdon Hall is a beautiful venue and your photos looked stunning, especially the one outside the front with your veil blowing in the wind! . I wish you both all the happiness and success in the world, and many congratulations once again 🥂

    Amazing MUA

    Karen thank you for making me feel so special on my big day. It was a pleasure meeting you. From our first conversation through the trail and big day you made me so relaxed and as I don’t normally wear much makeup you explained each process and explained about all the products you use. You advised me on colours etc.
    Once again a big thank you. You’re an amazing MUA.
    Lots of Michelle.

    Make up professional, highly reliable & trustworthy

    Karen is such a lovely lady, very down to earth and made me feel relaxed as soon as I met her. She is very responsive with calls & messages ensuring she had all the information she needed whilst answering any questions I had at any time. She listens and always asks how you feel about particular products & was so helpful during the trial. I wanted a more natural look and she gave me the perfect look. When looking in the mirror for the first time it blew me away with how perfect it was. On the wedding day it was equally as perfect & more. Catering for myself & 4 bridesmaids we all looked amazing, fulfilling confidence in us all. Bridesmaids were so thrilled with their make up & all said how amazing Karen was along with her colleague Coral. Both lovely people who I was so happy to share my wedding morning with & no doubt will never forget. Thank you so much Karen! You are amazing at what you do, an expert & professional who will continue to make every bride feel perfect for their special day x

    Hi Emma! Wow...what a thoroughly lovely review, and thank you for taking the time to write it! It was such a pleasure to be a small part of your wedding day, and you all looked absolutely beautiful 😍 I still wish I had caught your initial reaction to the final look at your pre-wedding trial because it was priceless!!
    Coral is incredible and always lovely to work with. I'm so glad we trained together because I have someone skilled and reliable to help me out with bigger bridal parties, and I trust her implicitly.
    I wish you and your husband every happiness in the world, and many congratulations! 🥂 You are so lovely and I won't ever forget you xx

    Karen is Simply the Best!

    Karen came to do mine and my daughter's makeup on the morning of my daughter's wedding. Karen was such a lovely person to have around while we were getting ready and her makeup skills are brilliant. She transformed me into "mother of the bride material" and my daughter looked simply stunning. I had never had my makeup applied professionally before but would not hesitate to have Karen do it again for another occasion.
    Thank you for being so amazing and lovely Karen x

    Be Simply Beautiful's reply:

    Hi Judith! Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! It was so lovely to meet you both, and what a beautiful venue your daughter chose for her wedding. Boringdon Hall really is quite remarkable, and the photos I’ve seen so far looked incredible! You were already Mother of the Bride material without makeup, but I just made you look a more polished version of you. It was so lovely to meet you both, and some people and weddings you never forget. You are one of those! xx

    Absolutely beautiful

    I recommend Karen 100%. I don't speak perfect English, but she truly made me feel very comfortable on my special day, always explaining every step and checking in with you.
    I especially think it's very important that on your wedding day the people around you have a super positive vibe and 0% negativity. Karen is that kind of person; she's super energetic and lovely.
    Thank you Karen for making my special day even more special.

    Hi Fabi! Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a pleasure to be a small part of your wedding day, and it was just perfect for you both. You looked incredible, and you had just the perfect makeup to look just like you, but a more polished version! I hope you got some beautiful photographs from your beach photoshoot? Many congratulations to you both once again, and I wish you both every success and happiness in your new life together!

    Wedding makeup

    Karen was fantastic both on my big day and for my trial. She is really passionate about getting your look just right and also about ensuring that she is using only the highest quality products. She was really friendly and accommodating- even managing to apply my makeup with a wriggly 8 month old baby on my lap!

    Be Simply Beautiful's reply:

    Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! It was such a pleasure to meet you, and I'm so glad you trusted me to change your makeup on your actual wedding day! It was definitely the right call, especially as your hair colour had changed, and you looked absolutely beautiful! Your baby was no trouble at all, and that's something I'm used to. I only got a bit worried when he started grabbing my arm as I was about to start your lipstick. That could have been a disaster!! I wish you all the happiness in the world, and many congratulations 😊

    Perfect experience with Karen

    Karen was amazing 😀
    I had a trial & Karen went through every step explaining the need for all the stages of cleansing etc.
    She really put me at ease as i’ve never had make up done professionally before.
    The make up colours were perfect and Karen explained i could change anything i wasn’t happy with.
    The notes taken by Karen were so helpful on my wedding day as she already knew what was being applied.
    Karen had to be at my hotel quite early, which i really appreciated especially as she had another wedding later.
    The lipstick given to me at the end was so nice. I was able to touch up when required.
    My friend loved her makeup & was touched that Karen applied her personal eye lashes for her.
    Thank you Karen for making me look amazing. Ian was very emotional when he saw me for the 1st time.
    For anyone nervous about make up, Karen is your artist.

    Aww….such a lovely review to receive…thank you! Your before & after photos just looked incredible, and I hope you will be kind enough to send me one of you in your wedding dress? I rarely get to see the finished look! I always like to give my brides at least an hour to themselves before their ceremony, just to take a moment to pause and spend time with family and friends. It was so lovely to meet you, and I wish you both many congratulations, and all the happiness and success in the world!
