    Natural Glowy Makeup!

    Ila was absolutely brilliant with me and my three bridesmaids on our wedding day. We all wanted natural, glowing makeup, and that’s exactly what she delivered. From the minute she started, she was so calming and thoughtful, which was a blessing since I’d had an allergic reaction to my face just the week before. But honestly, you’d never know. She knew exactly how to soothe and cover it so well that no one even noticed.

    I had done a lot of research into makeup artists, as previous experiences had left me not feeling like myself. Ila truly exceeded my expectations and I would book her again in a heartbeat. She made us all feel so comfortable, confident, and truly ourselves. The whole experience felt relaxed, personal, and reassuring, just what you want when you’re getting ready on a big day. We can’t thank her enough.

    Would highly recommend

    Ila was brilliant. So thoughtful and considered with every product she used both during the trial and on my wedding day. She created exactly the look I was going for and the makeup stayed looking great all date, despite it raining, going in an open car and dancing a lot, I didn't need to touch it up.
    Ila kept me super relaxed on my wedding morning too which was so lovely. Thank you so much!

    Bridal makeup

    From first contact, Ila was extremely professional and attentive to every aspect of my bridal makeup.
    She talked me through the process of the bridal trial through to my wedding day, the App that Ila uses is very informative and helpful with tips on how to prep your skin for both the trial and leading up to the wedding day.
    My bridal trial was relaxing and I enjoyed the whole day and I felt very special, Ila listens to exactly what you want and changes anything that you want for your big day through a feedback form that you complete afterwards.
    Contact from Ila was very regular and the arrangements for the wedding day were very clear and she sent me a schedule for the day which was helpful for my hairdresser and other bridesmaids so that we all knew where we needed to be and what time.
    On my wedding day, Ila was incredibly professional and the morning was stress free, it was very clear how much experience Ila has with wedding makeup.
    I was so happy with my makeup on the day and I felt like a million dollars, everyone said how beautiful I looked and my makeup lasted the whole day.
    My bridesmaids were also really happy with their makeup.
    My overall experience was amazing and I couldn’t recommend Ila enough for your special day.

    Thank you Ila!

    Ila has such a lovely calming nature and really listened to what I wanted, giving me a natural, fresh look. She kept in regular contact before the big day to check in on what I wanted and we had some fun with practices beforehand. Thank you Ila for making my face look so lovely on the day, highly recommend!

    A wonderful experience!

    I can’t express how grateful I am for Ila. From our very first meeting, it felt like I had known her for years. Her warm personality and genuine kindness immediately put me at ease.
    She listened to my concerns and created a beautiful flawless look - my skin looked incredible. What I loved most is that the whole experience was not just about makeup, it felt like spending time with a friend.
    Ila was a wonderful part of my wedding journey!

    Highly recommended!

    Ila did my wedding makeup and was absolutely perfect. She was very calm and so sweet and made me feel at ease since the moment I met her.
    As someone who doesn’t often wear makeup, I was nervous about how it would turn out. However, Ila listened to my vision and created a beautiful, natural look that I absolutely loved.
    She was super attentive and stayed with me and the bridal party until the very last minute, making sure we all looked perfect!
    She made me feel comfortable and confident on my special day and I received so many compliments on my makeup! I’m so grateful to Ila for her talent. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands your vision, I highly recommend her. She’s wonderful!
