So much more than Hair and Makeup!
Well what can I say. Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful on my big day.
From the makeup trial to the morning of the wedding, it was a pleasure to have Karen looking after me. Karen was so down to earth and really got to know me during the trial. She even had the pleasure of meeting the groom and took the time to chat with him and give many kind words.
On the morning of the wedding, whilst working her magic on my hair and makeup, she was also making sure I tried to eat and drink and she was able to help keep me as calm and relaxed. I felt very well looked after and it was much needed - Thankyou Karen.
Karen brought a sense of calm to the morning of the wedding getting my mum and both bridesmaids ready. She was so organised and ready to start the day. It gave me one less thing to worry about.
My hair and makeup looked beautiful all day and it shows in the photos. Again, I can't thank you enough.
Myself and my husband wish Karen all the best and many congratulations on her own engagement and we can't wait to see the photos of your wedding! We will be keeping our eyes peeled! -

Georgia Sent on 08/10/2026Karen is phenomenal ✨
Karen doesn’t just provide beautiful makeup services, she provides a steady comfort and warm professionalism throughout the entire wedding and beyond!
I got my wedding makeup done alongside my bridesmaids and had nothing but compliments throughout the entire day. Not only that, but my makeup lasted all day, which never happened!!
I highly recommend doing the trial Karen offers, as it gave me not only peace of mind as the makeup she did was beautiful, but Karen gave me skincare and hair care recommendations which I spent a few months following before the wedding to give me that wedding glow!
Karen is an artist. She understands everyone’s features and how to maximise impact. She’s kind, honest and creative. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist.
My bridesmaids and I agreed it is the best we have ever felt and looked after having our hair and makeup done by Karen!
I cannot recommend her enough, what a beautiful person inside and out and the most talented hair and makeup artist I could have wished for!
Communication was always very prompt, Karen was extremely organised and took the time to learn who she was providing services for. Karen’s professionalism is admirable, no problem too big or small for her!
Thank you so much for your impeccable care and hair/makeup skills Karen :) -

Rose Sent on 06/10/2026Karen is not just a MUA she's an ally
Karen is a constant professional who strives to make you feel heard. She works from what you want and in completely flexible.
I had a few changes in my situation and nothing was ever a problem.
Her make up lasts beyond every expectation. I cried the whole day and night and the next day and not a hair out of place or a smudge.
Her ideas and attitude and phenomenally kind and thoughtful.
Cannot recommend her enough. -

Perfect Hair & Make-Up for My Wedding Day
Karen did a wonderful job with the hair and make-up for both my mum and me on my wedding day. I was so pleased with how everything turned out. I felt like myself, and my hair and make-up stayed in place all day (and night!). Karen has a lovely, calming personality, which made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. -

I was not planning to have my hair and make-up done, but I changed my mind at the last minute. I am soooo glad i did!
From the moment I booked Karen for my wedding hair & makeup, she made me feel completely at ease. I’d been quite anxious about putting my trust in someone else, following a disastrous experience at the Charlotte Tilbury counter.
We were not able to have a makeup trial beforehand, because i live in Oxfordshire and Karen was based in Scotland. However, we did have a video call, and she took the time to listen, understand my concerns and reassure me, which was what i really needed.
By the time we finished our call, Karen gave me the confidence i would be in safe hands. Her years of experience shone through and she even advised me what i should do in the weeks leading up to the big day to prepare my skin.
On the day itself, I genuinely couldn’t have been happier. Karen brought absolutely everything with her, to ensure she had the full range of options to give me the look i wanted. She talked to me throughout the session, asking lots of questions to ensure we were both on the same page with the final look. But even better, she also seemed to instinctively understand exactly what would suit me and created a look that felt effortlessly beautiful. I felt amazing, and my makeup looked absolutely stunning from morning right through to the evening, lasting beautifully all day.
Karen is not only incredibly talented, but also warm, calming, and wonderfully professional. She made me feel beautiful, confident, and completely relaxed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist who truly cares and will help them feel their absolute best on such a special occasion.
Thank you so much Karen!!Karen Mason Bridal Hair & Make-UP's reply:

Stephanie Sent on 16/06/2026LOVED working with Karen.
A five star review is the easiest thing to give Karen, who was honestly one of the highlights of my whole wedding experience. She absolutely nailed my makeup and hair - I wanted it to be very natural and effortless, which she achieved easily. She is clearly very experienced and knows exactly what she’s doing - I felt like I was in very safe hands. The trial was also a great experience, very chilled and a nice break from wedding prep chaos. She was so flexible with my bridal party on the day, from our flower girl to my bridesmaid to my mother in law, all who had very different needs/visions. She also did a fantastic job of calming me down when things started getting extremely chaotic around me… I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.

Kelsey Sent on 20/04/2026Phenomenal 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. -
