Lovely natural bridal make up
Karen was such a lovely person to work with. She was kind, warm and genuine and made the whole process of wedding make up (which I was a bit apprehensive about after some dodgy bridesmaid make up in the past) really smooth. I had so many compliments on how natural my make up looked - worlds apart from how it’s felt in the past. I particularly liked her flexibility in changing a few things on the day itself , she handled that calmly and I really loved how my make up came out as a result.
I have really fine hair which I am always self conscious about , and usually hairdressers don’t really know how to handle, but she made it look soo much better than it’s ever looked before and I felt really confident with it. It was just what I was hoping for.
She also made my sister and mum feel really comfortable which resulted in such a nice calm atmosphere on the day.
Definitely pick Karen if you want subtle classic make up that doesn’t feel caked on, and accentuates your natural features.
Thanks Karen!

Phenomenal and professional care
My husband and I have awaited our wedding ceremony for many years after the wedding date needing to be moved multiple times due to a variety of reasons. 7 years and 2 kids later, we finally were able to make our dream wedding happen. Needless to say, we wanted everyone to enjoy this occasion and feel special and honored, especially since many guests were traveling from abroad. Karen went above and beyond to make sure that all who were getting their makeup and hair done would feel and look their best on the wedding day. She gave us all tips on what to do to be sure our skin and hair would be ready and well moisturized, she picked out lipsticks that matched our skin tone and would go with our specific dress colors, and was very attentive to the type of look we each wanted. As the bride, I felt absolutely stunning and she truly made me look exactly how I dreamed to look for my special day. I am so grateful for her care and attention to detail. She is a good listener and a true artist, providing space and time to play and explore different options to be sure everyone feels like royalty. I highly recommend Karen. She is a lovely woman and a highly professional artist.Karen Mason Bridal Hair & Make-UP's reply:

Fabulous Wedding hair and make up
I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding hair and makeup and also the makeup for my Bridesmaids by Karen – everything turned out perfect. From the very beginning, Karen really listened to my brief and took the time to understand exactly the look I was going for.
On the day, she created a hairstyle for me which was elegant, and it lasted beautifully and securely (important with naturally curly hair!) throughout the entire celebration. She also did the makeup for my mum and bridesmaids, who all looked stunning and were so pleased with the results. Karen also introduced me to a fantastic hairdresser for my mum and bridesmaids.
Everyone’s look came together so beautifully, and it all felt cohesive while still suiting each person individually.
Karen was extremely professional, and such a lovely presence to have around on the morning of the wedding. I felt so comfortable, which made such a difference. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly listens and delivers stunning results. -

Mum felt a million dollars
Friendly and professional. Karen made my mother feel at complete ease (who doesnt normally wear make-up) and spoke her through all her options, ensuring my mother was in complete control over the end result. -

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!Karen Mason Bridal Hair & Make-UP's reply:
Thank you Harriet !
I can’t wait to see the pictures and hope to meet with your mum in later September … best wishes to you

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.Karen Mason Bridal Hair & Make-UP's reply:
