    Wedding Makeup

    Gemma and Kelly did mine and my bridal parties hair and makeup for my wedding day…I can’t praise them enough. They were both amazing, so professional and everyone looked incredible. The booking process was so easy, Gemma was very responsive to messages through the whole process, I had a lovely bridal trial and everyone on the day was made up with their looks.
    My engaged bridesmaid has said she will be booking for her wedding once they set a date❤️
    Thank you once again ladies for making me feel so beautiful on my big day ❤️

    Would give more stars if we could! ✨

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect makeup artist than Gemma for our wedding. Two brides, four bridesmaids and two mums – and every single one of us looked and felt incredible. But what makes Gem so special goes far beyond her talent (which is undeniable). She has the most calming, warm, and genuine energy, and made every single person feel completely at ease from the moment she arrived. It’s rare to meet someone like Gem – not only incredibly skilled at what she does, but also such a lovely human being. She was such a big part of the morning and brought so much joy and calm to it all. We’re so grateful to have found her.

    Perfect wedding hair and makeup

    Booked Gemma for hair and makeup at my wedding! Gemma was amazing from start to finish! She ensured myself, my mum and my 6 bridesmaids/ maids of honour felt beautiful for my big day!
    Gemma listed to my request for natural makeup and did not disappoint! I felt so natural and beautiful and my whole bridal party looked beyond amazing!
    Gemma became a part of my bridal party and it was so lovely to have her as well as Kelly and Vic (hoping in have their names right) who Gemma brought to help with my giant bridal party! All 3 ladies were amazing and I would highly recommend!

    Gemma’s magic helped to make my wedding day perfect!

    I cannot recommend Gemma enough for bridal makeup and hair. From start to finish, the experience was incredibly calm and stress-free. Her expertise truly stood out as she managed to flawlessly cover my dry skin and psoriasis redness, leaving me feeling radiant and confident. I felt like a princess all day, with makeup that lasted beautifully and hair that was weightless, comfortable, and exactly how I wanted it.

    She was wonderful at making me feel at ease throughout the process, listening to my preferences and making adjustments whenever I asked. Her knowledge of products was great —she knew exactly what would work best for my skin type and gave me the perfect look.

    Everything was perfectly on time, Gemma worked her magic not just on me but on everyone in my bridal party. We all looked amazing, felt special, and couldn’t stop raving about how much we loved our looks. To top it all off, her sense of humor and cheerful personality made the whole day even more enjoyable. I am so grateful for her dedication and talent! The best of the best!

    We all looked beautiful!

    Gemma provided makeup services to myself and 2 of my bridesmaids on my wedding day on 22nd February 2025. Prior to the wedding, I had a bridal makeup trial and found Gemma to be absolutely lovely and fantastic at interpreting my vision of how I wanted to look. She knocked it out of the park on the first try. As someone with sensitive and reactive skin, she was careful to use high quality products that would not cause issues, and advised me on various aspects of skincare before the wedding. She made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day, and is a really good laugh/easy-going energy on your wedding day morning. My bridesmaids did not have a trial, she listened to what they wanted/suggested what would look good on them on the day, and they both looked stunning as well. The eye and face makeup lasted all day (9am-Midnight) without needing any touch-ups - amazing! Thanks again Gemma. love, Louise Pelham xxx

    Dreamy Make-Up!

    Gemma was awesome: from the moment we met for the trial, she put me totally at ease. We tried a couple of different things during the trial and then on reflection I wanted something a bit different on the day - it was no problem at all and I felt fantastic. I’d never had make up done professionally before but I’d choose Gemma again 💖 My bridesmaid and mum were all super pleased with their make up too & we picked up some tips along the way! Thanks for being part of my day! x

    I booked Gemma for my wedding make up and I'm honestly so glad that I did!

    I booked Gemma for my wedding make up and I'm honestly so glad that I did!
    The trial at her beautiful home studio was a lovely experience, we talked through skin care prep and make up ideas for my special day. I left feeling confident that Gemma would be the perfect choice!
    On the morning of my wedding, Gemma was both professional and such a lovely person in making my wedding party feel at ease and looking beautiful!
    It felt like having another friend there on my special day getting involved in the excitement of the morning!
    You can tell that Gemma has a passion for her craft and I wish I was getting married all over again to have the experience a second time! (although don't tell my husband that!)

    5 🌟 Experience - cannot recommend more!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I cannot thank Gemma (makeup artist) and Kelly (hair stylist) enough for the incredible work they did on my wedding day! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were evident. They styled me, my four bridesmaids, my flower girl, and both the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom—and every single one of us looked and felt amazing.

    Kelly worked absolute magic with our hair. She listened to each person’s preferences and created styles that were not only stunning but also stayed flawless all day and night. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect bridal hairstyle and she was amenable to changes post-hair trial which meant I got exactly what I envisioned and more.

    Gemma’s talent with makeup is unparalleled. She created natural yet glamorous looks for everyone, tailoring each one to enhance our unique features. She truly made us all feel like the best versions of ourselves, and the makeup held up beautifully, even through happy tears, many cheek kisses from family and hours of dancing.

    Both Kelly and Gemma were a joy to have around on the morning of the wedding. They kept everything running smoothly and on time, contributing to a calm and enjoyable atmosphere fuelled by Yorkshire Tea and pastries. It was like having two extra friends in the room!

    I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly and Gemma to any bride-to-be. Their skill, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients are unmatched. Thank you both for making us feel so special and confident on such an important day!

    The best makeup & Hair

    Just wow i can’t recommend Gemma-Marie enough.
    From my first enquiry right through to my wedding I knew I had made the right choice to have Gemma help turn me into a bride.

    Every email was answered quickly, even when I was having bride panic’s Gemma managed to calm me down.
    At my trial Gemma listened to what look I wanted and I was amazed but on my wedding day she blew me away it was a 1000 times better than my trial and I was speechless with how I looked.

    Gemma came early on the wedding morning, 4 bridesmaids, 2 mums and me, nobody was rushed and everyone was happy with how they looked and helped keep the nerves at bay.

    Gemma stayed right up to when I was in my dress and did final touch ups from all the tears before walking down the aisle.

    I am gutted that Gemma can’t do my makeup everyday for me.
    You won’t regret booking Gemma to make you feeling a million dollars on your special day.
    Sam xx 💕
