    The perfect wedding makeup by Phoebe ✨

    Phoebe was honestly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day 🤍✨

    From my makeup trial, I knew I was going to be in safe hands. Phoebe was so lovely and really took the time to understand what I wanted, whilst also giving me advice on what would work best. I still felt completely like myself, just the most confident version of me, which is what I asked for.

    She was also amazing with the skin prep advice in the lead-up to the wedding. I had a few Hydrafacials beforehand, which really helped my skin feel fresh, hydrated and glowy, and the makeup just brought everything together beautifully.

    On the wedding morning, having Phoebe there was such a lovely part of getting ready. She was so calm, reassuring and just completely put me at ease, which is exactly what you want when you’re getting married! 🥹

    I absolutely LOVED my makeup. It was exactly what I had pictured and somehow looked even better than it did at my trial. My makeup lasted beautifully from the morning right through to dancing the night away!

    Phoebe also did the makeup for the Mum's & my bridesmaids, and I loved how she made sure everyone still looked like themselves whilst feeling really special. Everyone looked absolutely amazing!

    Looking back at our photos, I’m honestly so grateful I chose Phoebe. My makeup photographed beautifully and I still look at the photos and think, I LOVED my makeup so much! 🤍

    Thank you so much Phoebe for being such a lovely part of my wedding morning and for making me feel so confident and beautiful. I couldn’t recommend you enough to any bride - not only is she incredibly talented, but she is such a genuinely lovely person to have around on such an important day! I wished we lived closer as I would definitely book for any event. ✨🤍

    Wow! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Phoebe was an absolute dream to work with and I would recommend her to any bride looking for beautiful, natural-looking wedding makeup.
    I was first introduced to Phoebe through a friend's wedding and instantly fell in love with her style. She creates fresh, glowing makeup that feels polished and impactful while still looking completely like you. From our first conversations through to the wedding day, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly easy to work with.
    My trial was fantastic and Phoebe immediately understood the vision I had for my bridal makeup. She made me feel so special and gave me complete confidence that I was in safe hands.
    On the wedding morning, Phoebe brought such a calm and friendly energy to the room and felt like one of the girls. She did makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mum, and everyone looked amazing. My mum had been slightly concerned about how makeup would sit on more mature skin, but she was absolutely delighted with the result.
    What impressed me most was how well our makeup lasted. We were married on a very hot day, but somehow Phoebe worked magic and our makeup still looked flawless from the ceremony right through to the evening celebrations.
    Phoebe is incredibly talented and made us all feel confident, radiant, and beautiful. I received so many compliments on my makeup and couldn't have been happier with the result. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!

    Just incredible and absolute peace of mind youll look your best

    Phoebe was incredible from the very first trial. I felt completely safe in her hands. She instantly understood how to work with my skin, my complexion, and exactly what would suit me best. Her knowledge and talent are exceptional.

    When the wedding day came, I was so grateful I had chosen her. The morning was chaotic at times, with constant interruptions, but Phoebe handled everything so calmly and professionally. She kept me grounded, protected my peace, and somehow always knew when I was starting to feel overwhelmed. She helped calm and de-stress me in ways that went far beyond makeup.

    Phoebe is not just an exceptional makeup artist, she is your calm in the storm, your people manager, and someone who genuinely cares about the people she works with. She was also so good with my 20 month old who was distracting both myself and my Mom.

    She also completely settled my mum’s nerves, made her feel so beautiful and confident, and did the same for me. I looked like myself, just elevated in the best possible way.

    I truly cannot recommend her enough.

    She even handled a last-minute artist cancellation behind the scenes without me ever knowing there had been an issue. The artist she brought with her was also fantastic, and the whole day ran seamlessly because of Phoebe.

    The most beautiful makeup

    Right from the trial Phoebe immediately put me at ease. She is an absolute expert and a master of her craft, she is so friendly and open, allowing you to freely talk about how you would like your make up to be. She complimented all of my natural features beautifully and just made me feel like the most polished version of me.

    Incredibly talented and lovely makeup artist ❤️

    Booking Phoebe as the makeup artist for my wedding day in August was one of the best decisions I made. Not only is Phoebe extremely talented, she is warm, kind, approachable, organised and professional. From day one, I knew I was in very safe hands. Phoebe was meticulous and open to feedback, tailoring my bridal look to my vision to make me feel like the best version of myself. I absolutely loved the elegant, natural glam look Phoebe created for me, and my bridal party were thrilled with their makeup too. On the big day, I could hear Phoebe singing along to our playlist, which was so wholesome and such a calming influence when the nerves kicked in. Phoebe - I can’t thank you enough for giving me the perfect wedding day I always dreamed of ❤️

    Flawless Makeup & A Calm Presence – Phoebe Is Incredible!

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (if I could give more stars I would!)

    Phoebe was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding! From the trial to the big day, she made everything so easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and created a bridal look that made me feel completely like myself – just the most polished, radiant version!

    My bridesmaids all looked stunning as well – each look was tailored to suit their features and personalities perfectly. The makeup lasted all day and night (even through happy tears and dancing!) and looked amazing in both real life and in the photos.

    Beyond her amazing talent, Phoebe brought such a calm and positive energy to the morning of the wedding. She kept everything running smoothly and helped set the tone for a stress-free, joyful start to the day.

    I can’t recommend Phoebe highly enough – she’s not only incredibly skilled but also a truly lovely person to have by your side on such a special day.

    Incredible make up artist - thank you

    Phoebe is extraordinary and made me feel like the best version of myself. She is so kind and empathetic and brings the most calming and reassuring energy to the room. After the trial, there was nothing about the look that I wanted to change, despite being quite a fussy person about make up and the like. So many guests have since asked me who did my make up and I almost want to plan another event just to be able to have my make up done by Phoebe again!! Thank you!

    Phoebe transforms you into the best version of yourself

    Phoebe is an exceptionally talented make up artist and she brings such a calm and joyful presence on the morning of your special day.

    Phoebe listens carefully to her clients and ensures that she creates a look which suits their personal preferences and style. My bridal party and I felt so at ease with Phoebe and we were delighted with our final looks; she transformed us into the best versions of ourselves. Phoebe uses makeup to enhance rather than disguise you, which we loved.

    I would absolutely recommend Phoebe as your make up artist!
