Can’t recommend enough!

Carlie is such a talented make up artist and I highly recommend her. I absolutely loved my bridal makeup and got so many compliments throughout the day. As someone who can get quite an oily t-zone I was a bit concerned about looking too shiny but Carlie knew exactly the right products to use and my makeup lasted beautifully all day. She achieved the perfect coverage with a naturally lovely glow without looking shiny.

I loved having my makeup done by her both at my trial and on my wedding day. She has the perfect balance of listening to what you would like and also suggesting what she thinks would look best…she definitely knows what she’s talking about!

During the busy wedding prep and when nerves started to kick in, Carlie was such a calming presence and just a great vibe to have in the room. She makes sure everything is done to time allowing for touch ups and has an exceptional attention to detail.

Carlie is just generally a lovely person aside from being an incredible MUA. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you for giving me the perfect bridal look xx

Outstanding

Finding the right make up artist for any event is such a big decision, Carlie surpassed all expectations. From the lead up to our wedding, the trials , the communication and the day itself - she was faultless.

I’d highly recommend Carlie staying on , as the allowed a touch up for the bridal team post speeches ! Also a slight change in my look for the evening.

Absolute perfection

I cannot recommend Carlie enough! She is just AMAZING, she is such a lovely person, with most calming personality which is needed the morning of the wedding! I absolutely looooved my makeup on the wedding day, it lasted so perfectly. Carlie catered to everyone’s needs on the day, also doing makeup for nan who is in her early 70’s she made her look 10 years younger! Book Carlie!!!

Amazing makeup artist

Carlie was absolutely amazing. She was so easy to communicate with and always got back to me so quickly, nothing was too much trouble.
At the makeup trial she helped me to figure out what I wanted and what I liked.
The make up she did for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day was perfect. It stayed all day and everyone looked so beautiful. Carlie was also such a calming influence for the morning of the wedding and nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you!

I cannot recommend Carlie highly enough!

I cannot recommend Carlie highly enough - she was such a kind, thoughtful and caring wedding make-up artist and made us all feel the absolute best versions of ourselves!

She went above and beyond to make me and the bridal party feel beautiful on my wedding day, really listening to what we all wanted and putting so much thought into our make-up.

From the first message, she was professional, responsive and thoughtful. I love how natural we all looked, and she helped to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day, even capturing the morning when we didn't think to.

The best experience, and the perfect choice for any future bride!

Brilliant experience with Carlie!

I was so lucky to find Carlie for my wedding in July. She did a fantastic job of make up for all of the bridal party and I was so happy with how my bridal make up looked and stayed on throughout the day. She is absolutely lovely and very professional. I also really appreciated how flexible and calm she is. Recommend her without hesitation!

Calm and professional

Charlie was AMAZING. I could not recommend her more. My makeup was beautiful which made me feel so confident all day. She made the morning with my bridesmaids so calm and fun and is just brilliant at her job! I wanted a really natural look, which she did perfectly!

Carlie is the best!

I honestly cannot recommend Carlie enough - she truly made my wedding morning. She is an incredible makeup artist - my makeup completely fulfilled the brief of natural, glowing makeup for all my bridesmaids and myself. I don't normally wear much makeup, so I loved that she created a look that wasn't heavy at all. She did all the makeup in really good time (to a schedule she prepared in advance) and the makeup lasted the whole day. But not only is Carlie great at makeup, you can also tell that she truly loves her job: she brought an incredibly positive, uplifting and calming energy to the day, and made us feel fabulous and confident. Carlie also goes the extra mile: she stayed with me right until I had to leave for the church, taking photos, looking after bouquets, helping me sort my veil and just giving me company once all my bridesmaids had gone ahead of me. It was unbelievably thoughtful. Carlie is amazing at her job, and I couldn't recommend her more.

Highly recommend!

Carlie is absolutely lovely and did an amazing job with the make up for myself, my bridesmaids and my mum on my wedding day - I had so many compliments on my make up and it lasted all the way through the evening. We also had a great trial where she really listened to my needs/wants and I cannot recommend her enough!

Carlie is amazing!

Wow - Carlie is amazing - I have had my make up done by Carlie previously on a number of occasions, from engagement shoot make up to occasion make up and each time Carlie has not disappointed. The most recent time was for my wedding day along with my bridal party, bridesmaids & Stepmum, Carlie was as always amazing! She made sure to check through as we were progressing to ensure that we were happy, with a list of products that she used. Carlie made me feel & look so beautiful - a word I really never thought I can describe myself with feeling so confident in saying it! Carlie went above & beyond on my wedding day, taking the most perfect photos & precious videos of me, along with helping me into my wedding dress, before doing my full reveal to the bridal party, nothing seemed too much for Carlie. I would of course recommend Carlie to anyone wanting any make up, please make sure you book Carlie for bridal make-up! Thank you so much Carlie 💜
