    Karen is an absolute artist! 10/10

    Karen was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She had very different briefs from each of us, and she nailed every single one. My two bridesmaids wanted heavier glam, I wanted very natural and my Mum wanted a modern but natural look.

    Karen takes time to get to know everyone in the party, and her incredible skill and experience means that everyone ends up delighted with their hair and makeup.

    I was so nervous to have someone do my hair and makeup, but I got so many compliments, my favourite of which was: ‘you look exactly like yourself but all your best assets have been highlighted by your hair and makeup.’

    Couldn’t recommend her highly enough :)

    A complete professional - wonderful experience!

    Karen was exceptional from the get go - swift responses, thoroughly explained everything - I felt in very safe hands. I’m not very au fait with hair a make up so her clear expertise was very welcome - I felt listened to and that she understood what I wanted. I felt beautiful and exactly as I wanted to look, which lasted all day perfectly. Very professional and lovely to chat to during the trial and day itself! Worth every penny of her fee.

    Incredible experience

    I booked Karen to do makeup for myself and my wedding party. She was incredible to work with and supported me through the entire planning process. She went above and beyond to get products that fit my makeup and skin needs and was receptive to my ideas. She is also incredibly culturally aware and made sure to get a range of colors for my multicultural bridal party. Additionally, she did a wonderful job coordinating with my hair vendor and brought in another hair and makeup artist to support me on my wedding day as my bridal party was quite large. I believe her prices are fair for the level of service and professionalism provided. I highly recommend booking Karen for your wedding.

    Lifesaver!

    I couldn’t recommend Karen more. She stepped in at the very last minute when my previous makeup artist cancelled, and was kindly able to squeeze me, my mum and one of my bridesmaids in for an early morning session before dashing off to another wedding. Karen did a fabulous job; the makeup was just as we wanted and stayed in place all day (and night!). She took the time to brief with me beforehand so we could get the right look without time for a trial. She put us all at ease and brought a lovely energy on the day. So grateful to Karen for all her help!

    A true professional

    Karen worked with me to create my dream bridal look. From the very first call she was supportive and mindful of my vision. She recommended I do some facials in the lead up to my wedding…. What a difference these made! A true professional who has honed her craft.
    Wonderful, calming person to spend time with in the lead up to and on my wedding day!
    She did a fantastic job on my bridesmaids hair and sourced a fantastic second MUA to work with her on my bridesmaids make up.

    Simply brilliant

    There really aren’t words for what an amazing woman Karen is. So talented and lovely to match
    She did my three young bridesmaids (all aged 13) and they all adored her - she made them look stunning but still 13 year old young girls.
    As for the magic she managed on my aged self well - she’s a miracle worker. I hate having my photo taken and she managed to make me feel so confident
    I don’t wear a lot of make up so I wanted a natural look and she delivered in spades.
    Just brilliant
