Amazing work
5 stars isn't enough! Karen was amazing. Very friendly and easy to talk too, Karen listened to how I wanted my make up and threw a few idea's of her own in which made my make up even better. She also did my mums make up which was stunning, my mum doesn't wear make up and Karen took that on board and also made my mum feel beautiful. Thank you so much for your amazing work, you really are talented with make up 🙂 xx -

For each moment leading up to and including my wedding day, Karen was amazing! She was so friendly and welcoming at each step. I know very little about make up, yet Karen didn't make me feel that way. She talked me through each part and I enjoyed every moment of it.
She was great with the rest of my bridal party too. They were all very happy with their looks!
I would definitely use her again for an event. -

Wedding makeup
Karen was really good and made me feel at ease. I’m not really confident with doing makeup. Karen talked me through what she was doing and checked in with me at every step. My makeup looked beautiful and stayed all day.
She also did my mum's makeup and she was impressed with some of the products used and has asked for names of products to buy.
Karen was on hand to help my bridesmaids with little touches which made them feel special too.
Thank you Karen -

Lorna Sent on 24/07/2025Karen was absolutely amazing!
As someone who rarely wears makeup, I felt instantly reassured the moment I met her. She listened carefully to what I wanted, and translated it into a look that felt both authentic and beautiful.
Her deep knowledge of makeup products—and her skill with choosing just the right ones—meant everything looked natural and stayed flawless all day. I especially appreciated how light everything felt; nothing cakey or heavy.
During the trial, Karen’s calm professionalism put me completely at ease and gave me full confidence that everything would run smoothly on the big day.
On my wedding morning, she arrived promptly and set up in no time. Her presence was a real source of comfort—not just to me, but to my entire bridal party. She was attentive, patient, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Having her there felt like having a talented friend by my side.
I can’t recommend Karen highly enough—she made me feel confident, relaxed, and truly beautiful. -

Rachael Sent on 16/07/2025Beautiful make up
Karen was very professional, friendly and calm. She was happy to make the journey to the wedding venue despite the fact it was well out of her way!
My trial with Karen was fantastic, as someone who doesn't wear makeup normally, I was very nervous about not looking like me. She put me at ease immediately, and I felt so safe in her capable hands. We tried a few looks and agreed on the best colourways.
On the day of the wedding, she came in perfect time, did mine, my four bridesmaids, my mother and even a dusting of sparkle on my 8 year old daughter. I never felt rushed, and she was friendly and chatty with us all throughout the morning. She made all of us look beautiful, and was open to any changes I wanted. At one point my eyeshadow wouldn't sit right, so she removed the whole work she had done on the eye and started again, so it was perfect, which I really appreciated.
Everyone said how beautiful we looked, and the makeup stayed on all day - even in 31c heat!!
Karen is honest and fair with her pricing and I would not hesitate to recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for that magical touch.
Thank you again, Karen - for making this bride look incredible with her purple eyeshadow and red lips! -

Karen is an exceptional makeup artist that goes above and beyond. Karen is so natural and easy going, making the entire experience so relaxing - at no point was I concerned about my make-up or the make-up of my wedding party (considering we're a group of ladies who rarely wear makeup). Our make up looked absolutely stunning - it felt so natural and hit all the marks. Karen is so attentive to the needs of her clients, letting them provide feedback, take it on board and adjust her approach. Everyone looked stunning, but importantly FELT it to! Honestly such a superb person!
Her 'above and beyond' goes beyond make-up! I was having difficulty getting transport to our ceremony - I only needed a one way trip, as we hired a vintage double decker for all our guests, and wedding party, to transport us to the reception. Karen stepped up! She happily drove me to the ceremony (perfect stealth move - no one saw me coming ;)).
Thank you Karen! -

I cannot thank Karen enough for the amazing job she did on my big day. She was so lovely and a calming influence amongst all the chaos of getting ready! She was so considerate of my suggestions and I have never felt more beautiful. The products used were of such quality, with my make lasting the whole day and no need for touch ups. I’d highly recommend Karen to anyone, thank you so much! ❤️ -
