    A Wedding day saver - and my absolute favourite supplier 💗

    I can’t possibly begin to describe what Lisa did for me the morning of my wedding. When looking for a makeup artist I really struggled and just had qn ‘ahh this will do attitude’ so I got incredibly lucky! I was an absolute nervous wreck the morning of the wedding and was crying A LOT, so much so that I had to send all my bridesmaids away, Lisa sat with my mum, sister and I trying to calm me down before walking down the aisle- she gave me a pep talk, really listened to me and fed me a LOT of rescue remedy and kept touching up my makeup in between tears! Honestly the makeup was absolutely gorgeous, but her kindness and warmth was my favourite thing about her. Lisa left us touch up Kits, which were absolutely not needed (it even looked great after one of my bridesmaids slept in hers!) Lisa was by far my favourite supplier, and I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am that she was there on my wedding day.

    Thank you so much for such a lovely review 🥹🤍 It honestly means the world to me!

    I remember how worried you were about your eyes, so knowing I helped you feel confident wearing eye makeup again makes me so happy! 🥰

    I loved creating your glassy, dewy and glowy look and I’m so pleased it lasted you right through the celebrations, even with all the dancing! 😂🤍

    Thank you for trusting me with such an important part of your wedding day. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of it, and I’m so glad I could help you feel relaxed, beautiful and completely yourself 💞

    1000 out of 10 🌟

    Lisa was an absolute godsend and an amazing artist.

    I cannot reccomend her enough, she was so calming and just an all around wonderful presence to have on my sisters wedding morning.

    Lisa is so talented and her makeup was beautiful, she ensured everyone was happy with their makeup and that it was done to each persons skin needs taking into consideration, sensitive, oily, dry and many more concerns. Despite the wedding being on a hot day with lots of dancing and sweating everyone's makeup looked amazing all night and mine looked just as good when I was taking it off over 10 hours later!

    Lisa is truly such a wonderful woman and made every part of the morning feel so special, ensuring that everyone looked and felt beautiful and going the extra mile to ensure that the bride was kept calm when not everything was going to plan. Going the extra mile to ensure that everyone had everything they needed at all times despite it not being her job, including taking candid photos and videos when we didnt notice and sending them over to us the next morning!

    I cannot reccomend and thank Lisa enough for her time of the day. If you have the opportunity to book Lisa you wont regret it at all!

    Thank you so much Lisa 💞

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Oh my goodness, thank you so much for taking the time to write this 🥹🤍 It honestly means more than you know!

    It was such a lovely morning and I’m so glad I could be there for you all, especially with a few little things not going quite to plan! 🙈

    Making everyone feel comfortable, listened to and beautiful is such a huge part of what I love about wedding mornings, so hearing that you all felt that way means the absolute world to me.

    And I’m so happy the makeup lasted through all the dancing and a hot wedding day too! 😂🤍

    Thank you again for trusting me and for such a beautiful review. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your sister’s special day 💞

    So highly recommended!!!


    Lisa stepped in at very short notice after my original makeup artist cancelled, and I can honestly say that I’m now so grateful that she did, because Lisa was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

    She fitted in my trial at extremely short notice and immediately made the whole experience feel so lovely, relaxed and calming. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel completely at ease.

    On the wedding day itself, Lisa arrived on time with the most amazing warm, friendly and positive attitude. She genuinely felt like another bridesmaid rather than just our makeup artist! She was such a lovely presence to have around on what was such a busy and emotional morning.

    And she didn’t just do an incredible job with our makeup — she went above and beyond by taking SO many beautiful photos of the bridal party throughout the morning. These are photos that we will treasure forever, and it was such a thoughtful and unexpected thing for her to do.

    Lisa truly went above and beyond in every way, and I am so incredibly grateful that she was there to be part of our special day. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist.

    If you’re looking for a makeup artist, I would highly, highly recommend Lisa! You will absolutely not regret booking her.

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Thank you so, so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. 🤍 It genuinely means more to me than you know.
    I’m so glad that I could step in at the last minute and that everything worked out the way it did. From the moment we met at your trial, you were such a pleasure to be around, and it was an absolute privilege to be part of your wedding morning.
    I’m especially touched that you mentioned the photos. I always love capturing little moments throughout the morning when I can, and knowing that you’ll have those memories to treasure makes me so happy.
    You were such a lovely bride and your whole morning was filled with such a gorgeous energy. I’m so grateful you trusted me with such an important part of your day, and it was honestly a pleasure to be there with you all.
    Thank you again for choosing me, for being so lovely throughout, and for taking the time to come back and leave such a thoughtful review so soon after your wedding. It means the world to me and to my little business. 🤍
    Wishing you and your new husband a lifetime of happiness together!

    Wonderful Makeup Artist

    I was fortunate enough to find Lisa at a bridal show, what I loved about Lisa was that she was so chilled and not pushy at all. I decided to use Lisa for my bridal makeup and was over the moon with the result.

    Lisa offers a bridal package including a bridal trial which is really helpful for trying out your ideas and seeing the result before the big day.

    Lisa is really experienced and actually listens to what you want, I had a few worries with an eye issue but Lisa instantly addressed the issue and used great products that didn't irritate the eye.

    I was so happy about wearing eye make up again, after not knowing what products to use for about 2 years!

    Lisa has a great way of making you feel at ease and this was the same on my wedding day, Lisa made everyone feel ay ease and even helped me with my bridal veil.

    I was so happy with the look that Lisa came up with a glassy, dewy and glowy look which I absolutely loved.
    I had lots of compliments on the day and my family and friends couldn't believe that my makeup was still going strong into the night!

    I would thoroughly recommend Lisa as a bridal make up artist, not only is she excellent at what she does, she has the ability to make you feel at ease on your big day.

    Thank you Lisa for making me feel wonderful!

    Best Make-Up for my wedding!! 💄💍

    I found Lisa on The Manor Elstree’s Instagram; she did make-up for another bride and I was instantly amazed by how beautiful it looked!
    She was so kind over message making sure I was happy for the date of the trial and to come to my flat as I didn’t drive. The trial was perfect, she made me feel so naturally pretty and my makeup was flawless! My daughter (bridesmaid) was mesmerised by the Lisa & her make-up and she kindly did a little bit of gloss & blusher for her at the end. The day of my trial was also my hen do evening so it stayed on all evening!
    On the wedding day Lisa came all prepared and on time. She did the make-up for me (bride), MOH, MOB, MOG and my daughter who was bridesmaid. She did an amazing job with them all. Thank you for creating my soft romantic bridal makeup. Would 100% recommend Lisa, she was so lovely!

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Ahh thank you so much for this gorgeous review 🥹🤍

    I remember your trial and your little girl being so mesmerised by the makeup! 🥰 It was such a lovely morning getting everyone ready, and I absolutely loved creating your soft, romantic bridal look.

    I’m so glad you were happy with everything and that your makeup stayed put through your hen do and then all the celebrations on the wedding day too! 💄🥂

    Thank you for trusting me with such a special part of your day and for recommending me. It really does mean so much 🤍💞

    Flawless bridal makeup

    Lisa is truly an amazing makeup artist, she did my bridal make up and my mums too. I had a trial a month before the big day where we went over all the options and worked together to create the perfect look! The make up on the day was somehow even better!! I loved the glowy look and she also tailored it to my taste by adding loads of blush. It also lasted perfectly despite the fact that there was a storm outside!! Thank you so much Lisa!!

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a lovely review 🥹🤍

    I absolutely loved creating your bridal look with you, especially all that gorgeous blush! 🥰 It’s so important to me that your makeup still feels like YOU, just the best version of you.

    I’m so glad you loved the finished look even more on the wedding day, and that it stayed put despite the storm! 😂🌧️

    Thank you for trusting me with your makeup and your mum’s too. It was such a pleasure being part of your wedding morning and I’m so happy you loved everything 🤍💞

    Fantastic Make up

    Lisa is absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted and, during the trial, offered some fantastic suggestions while making sure I was completely happy with the results.

    I wanted a natural look that would still last throughout the day, and I couldn’t have been happier with my makeup. Lisa’s calm, relaxed manner made getting ready for the wedding such an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a lovely review 🥹🤍

    It was such a pleasure getting you ready for your wedding day. I loved working together at your trial to create a look that felt natural and completely you, while still giving you the longevity you wanted.

    And I’m so glad you enjoyed the morning too! Keeping things calm and relaxed is such a big part of what I love about wedding mornings. 🥰

    Thank you for trusting me with such a special part of your day and for your lovely words, it really does mean so much 🤍💞

    Bridal Makeup 12.20

    Lisa was so amazing to work with. I had never had my makeup professionally done before so during the trial she walked me through step by step explaining all of the products. She made us feel very calm and welcome. She listened to my wants and ideas making my dream makeup look come to life. She took a lot of time making sure we were all happy with our makeup and didn’t want any changes. Lisa is a lovely person and very talented- I couldn’t recommend her more!

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Ahh thank you so much for such a gorgeous review 🥹🤍

    It was honestly such a pleasure getting you ready, and I’m so happy I could make your first experience of professional makeup such a lovely one! 🥰

    I loved bringing your ideas to life and making sure you felt completely happy with everything. That’s exactly how I want a trial and wedding morning to feel, relaxed, no pressure and lots of time to make sure you love your makeup.

    Thank you for trusting me with such a special part of your day and for your lovely words. It means so much 🤍💞

    Amazing Make Up Artist

    What can I say, Lisa was absolutely amazing.

    Lisa done my make up for my wedding and I can honestly say it was perfect.

    I had a trial before the big day. Lisa listened and took on board on the kind of make up I had in mind. I made no changes as I loved the make up as soon as I saw myself.

    On the day Lisa was so lovely, kind and very supportive. She made me feel so beautiful and everyone complimented on my make up.

    Lisa also done make up for one of my Bridesmaid and also my Mum. They both looked stunning and beautiful on day.

    I would give Lisa 10/10 and would recommend her to anyone that wants their Make Up done. Thank you so much Lisa xx

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    My beautiful bride Louise, such a pleasure getting you and your bridal party ready at Hunton Park Hotel. I more form the trial what a stunning bride you would make and so lovely too 🥰 thank you so much for choosing me and trusting me with your gig day and of course, for the lovely review ❤️
