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!

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review—it truly made my day! It was such an honor to be part of your son’s special day, and I’m so glad to hear that you were happy with your hair and makeup.

I really enjoyed working with you and your lovely group—you were all so kind and made the morning a pleasure for me. It’s amazing to know that your hair and makeup lasted beautifully throughout the day, and that you felt great—it means everything to me!

Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending me. I’m so grateful for your support, and I hope to have the chance to work with you again in the future!

Best wishes,
Bowie

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!!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! It was truly an honor to be part of your special day, and I’m delighted to hear how happy you were with your makeup and hair.

I’m so glad the trial session and skincare preparation helped you feel confident leading up to your wedding, and it’s wonderful to know your look lasted through the excitement of the day (and the Ceilidh dancing!). It was such a joy working with you and being part of your beautiful Scottish castle wedding.

Thank you again for choosing me and for your kind words. Wishing you and your partner a lifetime of love and happiness!

Warm regards,
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!

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.

Amazing makeup artist; a person you can totally rely on and trust on your big day.

I was so thankful that I met Bowie and had her to be my makeup artist for my wedding. I first engaged her for a wedding makeup trial and I would highly recommend for anyone. On the wedding day:
(1) the quality of the makeup - Bowie is really good at it and professional; my makeup lastest all day long and Bowie was there to help with touch-ups (2) Bowie would really go the extra mile to accommodate your preferences - I am an Asian but way tanner so it was important for me to let her find a look that compliments my complexion; also, I did let her know what other eye makeup preferences so she actually studied my features prior to the wedding and bought makeup that suits just for my wedding day! (3) A person to trust on your big day: What I found most important and grateful is that Bowie is genuinely very nice and someone you can trust on the day. She would share all the wedding experience and make sure you don't panic since the start of the day. She makes you feel good and make sure you glow inside out - and that I was most thankful for!

Absolutely recommend Bowie for the quality of her work and her professionalism. Thank you very much again Bowie for all your hard work for my wedding day 💖
