    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.

    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!
    Lisa xx

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    Amazing Glowy & Natural Make Up ✨

    Lisa is so warm and friendly. Super easy to communicate with, & we had a great time getting ready with her. A really reasonable price for the service. I would not hesitate in recommending Lisa if you are looking for natural, glowy, flawless makeup and a relaxed experience when getting ready.
    And your makeup will last all day & night!!

    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

    What a fabulous Mother Daughter duo!

    Lisa and Tia were the Makeup Artists for my Wedding a few weeks ago, and they did such a great job.

    Lisa was so down to earth and welcoming during my makeup trial at her home and took great care in listening to what I wanted.

    On the day of my Wedding, they were both super organised, professional, followed hygiene standards and efficient with my makeup and my Bridal party’s makeup, and we all loved our finished looks.

    I 100% felt like a princess and will be forever grateful for their input, help and kindness.

    Lisa Critchley Makeup Artist's reply:

    Aww my beautiful bride Rachel 🥰 it was an absolute pleasure getting you and your bridal party ready for your big day. From the trial to your wedding day you looked absolutely stunning 😍 Thanks so much for taking the time to give me such a lovely review - especially without me asking for it - means the world. Hope to see you again one day, Lisa & Tia xx

    Most excellent makeup artist!!

    Lisa did my makeup on my wedding day and I honestly cannot recommend her enough! Lisa is absolutely lovely- the perfect lady to have around you on your wedding morning. Calm, kind, and professional, she made the whole experience feel so special. I was absolutely delighted with my makeup. Lisa made sure I was happy with every detail, and she used the most amazing products that felt beautiful on my skin and lasted all day. She’s truly talented, and I’m so grateful to have had her as part of the day!
