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:

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.

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. -

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 :)
