    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!

    Amazing, book her now!

    Phoebe did my makeup for my wedding, as well as my 4 bridesmaids and my mum. We all felt absolutely amazing and we cannot thank her enough. My mum had never had her makeup done and she felt very listened to and loved her makeup. I felt like an elevated version of myself, glam but still natural. Phoebe is truly talented at what she does!

    All the way from my first enquiry to the wedding day, Phoebe has been responsive, professional and just absolutely lovely. We had a trial together with Lara (hair), and the two of them are an amazing team. I felt so comfortable and understood.

    On the wedding morning Phoebe really added to the happy and fun atmostphere, she felt like one of the girls! Everyone needs to book her ASAP.

    Phoebe I can't thank you enough.

    Talented, wonderful and professional MUA - perfect for your wedding morning!

    Highly recommend! I booked Phoebe for my make up on my wedding day (and bridesmaids, Mother of Bride and Mother of Groom) - one of the best choices! Throughout the booking process, the trial to the day itself - everything was brilliant. Phoebe was brilliant to have around on the morning - calm, friendly, professional - and such a lovely person, too! My make up was amazing - it was ‘me’ but better! - it looked as fresh on the evening as it did when I left for church in the morning and I felt amazing - Thank you!

    Fantastic Make Up Artist

    Phoebe is such a lovely lady! As soon as we met she made me feel at ease and was really willing to go with my vintage vibe. Phoebe was great with all of my wedding party on the morning and I felt so at ease and calm as I knew we were in great hands.
    Highly recommend.

    Natural Glam Bridal Perfection

    Where do I start with Phoebe? She truly is one of the kindest souls and one of the most talented women I have met.

    From the very first email to the trial day (where we had a HOOT!) and every day leading up to our wedding day itself, Phoebe was so professional, helpful, supportive, and accommodating.

    On our wedding day, Phoebe created the most incredible looks on all of us - bride, bridesmaids, mother of bride - with such a calm and confident aura. Sitting in Phoebe’s chair was a pleasure, and a moment of calm among the chaos. My makeup was just perfect, as were all of the bridal party, and the looks lasted through a LOT of dancing and fun.

    I will be forever grateful our paths crossed and that she was a part of our special day!

    Phoebe and Lara are most certainly part of our girl gang and this defo isn’t the last of us 😆

    Phoebe is the best

    Phoebe is the most lovely human as well as being super talented at what she does. Her makeup is outstanding and so wonderful. From booking Phoebe to my wedding day, the process was a dream and she made me feel so happy and looked after. The trial was great and her advice is second to none! Skincare on the morning of the wedding was such an enjoyable experience and she really does bring the fun and joy to your wedding morning too. My makeup lasted all day with barely any touch ups and everyone complimented it. Highly highly recommend.

    Beautiful person, beautiful make up

    I’m so pleased I chose Phoebe as my MUA for the wedding. I’d had a couple of not so great experiences with other wedding MUAs whilst deciding who to choose, so when I came across Phoebe her attitude and communication was so refreshing and an absolute relief if I’m honest. Some of my girls aren’t huge make up wearers and Phoebe was completely open to adapting the looks for the day and making them personal to each of us, natural and glowy and with the best lashes I’ve ever had!!!! Oh those lashes 🥰.

    Phoebe, thank you so much for being part of my team. The products you used were fantastic, I can’t believe how well it lasted throughout the day and night despite eating, drinking and 4 solid hours of dancing, it was all still there looking perfect at midnight. The lashes made it right to the end of my mini moon a week later! You were calm, kind and professional from start to finish, happy to take onboard any feedback following the trial and make the relevant changes and we all enjoyed spending the morning with you so much.

    Absolutely incredible experience

    I cannot recommend Phoebe enough for wedding makeup! Phoebe did my wedding day makeup, as well as my three bridesmaids and my Mum.

    Firstly - the trial was great! Phoebe listened to all of my preferences and concerns about my makeup and came up with a look which was exactly what I wanted. I was really worried about wearing foundation and it looking cakey since I don't wear much makeup normally but the makeup ended up looking really natural whilst giving really great coverage. It was also great to be able to do hair and makeup in one go for the trial to see how everything would come together on the day.

    Phoebe sent over a schedule for the wedding morning ahead of time which was really helpful since we had a few people to coordinate. Everyone ended up looking amazing, the makeup was beautiful and it lasted amazingly all day. I felt so beautiful but not unlike myself which is exactly what I wanted.

    It was also just lovely to have Phoebe there on the day - she brought a lovely, warm atmosphere to the morning and got on really well with all of the wedding party. Thank you so much Phoebe!
