    Stunning hair & make up for the whole bridal party!

    Bowie was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole wedding make up and hair journey. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was absolutely incredible from our initial bridal makeup trial to the wedding day itself, she was so communicative, professional, and reassuring every step of the way (through booking and explaining the process, online video consultation, the MUA trial, communicating in the run up to the wedding, coordinating bridesmaid make ups and amendments).

    On the big day, she and her colleague worked together on all 10 of us — including both mums (bride and groom) and all the bridesmaids. She really listened to everyone’s individual preferences and brought each vision to life beautifully. Every single one of us looked and felt stunning — the makeup and hair were flawless. Specifically, she helped me incorporate my traditional cultural hair accessories and made it go so well with the overall look.

    She was perfectly on time, and we were ready ahead of schedule. She coordinated effortlessly with our photographers, videographers and wedding coordinator on the day. She stayed behind for touch-ups and quickly helped with my hair change between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast.

    Everyone’s hair and makeup held up the entire day and night without a single worry (it lasted through rain and dancing). Thank you, Bowie, for your calm positive energy, dedication and talent — it truly made the morning feel effortless and special. Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day!

    Best experience ever

    She makes you feel pretty inside and out. Almost didn't want to take my makeup and hair off. I have never had a makeup artist prep my skin the way she did. She plays with your natural beauty, enhancing your features. Loved working with her.

    Bowie......definitely book her!

    I booked Bowie to do our hair and makeup for my son's wedding. There were five of us, the groom's mum (me) the three groomsmen's partners and a flower girl. Bowie's communication on the run up to the wedding was fantastic. By the actual day she knew exactly what we all wanted and had given us a timetable beforehand of who was getting done and when. She was so organised.
    She arrived on time, set up and worked her way through the morning in a very calming, supportive, and professional way.
    My makeup looked and felt great for the whole day. My hair looked and felt amazing and again stayed in for the whole day.
    I would definitely recommend Bowie. She was so easy to talk to and was such a calming presence. A very talented lady!

    Bowie was amazing for my wedding

    I chose Bowie as my makeup artist for our Scottish caste wedding outside Edinburgh. She was one of the few MUA I could find who had experience with Asian makeup located near Edinburgh, and I’m so glad I found her!

    Leading up to the wedding, Bowie was super communicative. We had a call to talk about preferred styles and she gave advice on skincare leading up to the big day. I was able to purchase face masks according to her recommendation so that my skin was prepared to look its best!

    The day before the wedding, I did my makeup trial with Bowie. I loved the direction she was going, and she even changed my hair so that I could wear it to dinner with my family without giving away the next day look.

    On our wedding day, Bowie was so thorough and detailed. I felt and looked my absolute best! My makeup and hair lasted all day and all night through sweaty Ceilidh dancing.

    Highly recommend Bowie!!

    Very professional

    I chose Bowie out of many makeup companies in Scotland for my wedding. I tried another makeup artist first before I met Bowie, but she didn't understand how I wanted to look on my wedding day, and she was not professional and didn't meet my expectations. I was disappointed and had little hope to find someone that would make me look pretty and comfortable in my makeup. After that, we found her and I had a trial makeup session with her. The makeup that Bowie put on me looked much more natural since she has varieties of good makeup tools and items; she could apply the best suited items for me. After the trial, I instantly decided to go with her.
    A few weeks before the wedding, Bowie and I had a video call to finalize my hairstyle, makeup etc. where I could tell her my final thoughts and requests.
    On the wedding day, she did a great job on my face and hair, I couldn't be more happy. She did bridesmaids' hair as well with a good timely manner.
    Overall, I was truly happy that I could work with her. She is detail oriented and caring, which I really appreciate.

    Excellent Service

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bowie for my wedding. She’s knowledgeable, experienced, and incredibly adaptable. She listened to my needs, and her professionalism and punctuality were impeccable. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day, even it was raining outside. Highly recommend her for any bride looking for the best!

    Friendly, attentive and professional service from Bowie!

    I really enjoyed having my bridal hair and makeup done by Bowie for my wedding day! I was so pleased with the result and felt very beautiful. She was very attentive to my needs and made sure to get as much information as possible about what look would be best for me. It was perfect! I would highly recommend Bowie, she is so friendly and professional.

    Best make-up I've ever had

    Bowie has been very helpful since the day I messaged her. As a person who never has make-up, she gave me advice on facial and hair care. She also picked the best make-up and hair style for me. Whenever I had any questions or doubts, she always responses professionally. Although my bridemaid was not available for the make-up trial, she could pick the most suitable make-up and hair style for her based on a selfie. I and my bridemaide are so happy to have her on my special day.
