Flawless Bridal Makeup – Rhia is Amazing!

I cannot thank Rhia enough for the absolutely brilliant job she did on my bridal makeup! She perfectly brought my vision to life, creating a look that made me feel amazing, confident, and completely comfortable. I received so many lovely compliments throughout the day, and it’s all thanks to her incredible talent.

Not only did Rhia make me feel like the best version of myself, but she also worked her magic on five other women, making them look and feel stunning. She arrived bright and early, kept everything running smoothly on such a busy morning, and brought such a calm, positive energy to the day.

If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is professional, talented, and truly listens to what you want, I cannot recommend Rhia highly enough! She is simply amazing.

I cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very first minute, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is incredibly professional, but what really sets her apart is how much she listens. Her goal isn't to transform you into someone else — it's to make sure you feel like the best version of yourself. She was always open to my ideas, concerns, and preferences, and adapted everything to make sure I felt truly happy and confident.

On a wedding day, you need more than a makeup artist; you need someone who brings calm, reassurance, and positive energy. She was exactly that. Her calm presence and wonderful energy made such a difference throughout the morning.

She is also one of those people who is simply easy to talk to. Being around her felt natural, relaxed, and enjoyable during what can be a very emotional and busy day.

Beyond her talent, I was genuinely inspired by her as a person and as a businesswoman. It felt amazing to be surrounded by such strong, positive female energy. Seeing someone who has reinvented herself, built a successful business, and become exceptionally good at what she does is incredibly inspiring.

I am so grateful she was part of my wedding day, and I would choose her again without hesitation.

Stunningly beautiful and natural make-up

I would love to say a huge thank you to Rhia for creating the most stunning make-up for my wedding day. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of such an important and special morning!

I was quite nervous about my make-up initially, as I wanted to feel like the very best version of me on my wedding day. But Rhia absolutely nailed it at my trial and I didn’t want to change a single thing! I knew straight away that I was in safe hands.

I also had my mum with me for her make-up, as my mum can be quite particular about how she likes her make-up! Rhia handled this so brilliantly and took everything in her stride. She was patient, accommodating and professional throughout, which I really appreciated.

On the wedding day itself, Rhia somehow made everything even more beautiful. My make-up was simply stunning, and I genuinely have never felt so beautiful. I actually glowed!

I received so many compliments throughout the day, and my make-up looked incredible in person and in photographs. She also created gorgeous looks for my two bridesmaids and my mum, making each of us feel amazing while still keeping everyone’s individual preferences in mind.

Beyond her incredible talent, Rhia was such a lovely person to have around on the morning of the wedding. She has the perfect balance of being warm, friendly and calming while remaining incredibly professional. From the initial communication and Zoom consultation to the trial and the wedding day itself, she made me feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me so much reassurance in the lead-up to the wedding, which is exactly what you need when there are a million other things to think about!

It was also an unusually hot day, and unfortunately I am a very sweaty gall! 😂 Rhia was so kind and stayed on hand for a while after finishing my make-up to help touch me up and make sure I continued to feel fresh and confident. It really showed how much she cared about making sure everything was perfect.

Rhia is incredibly talented, professional, kind and genuinely lovely, and I feel so lucky that she was the one who did my make-up for my wedding day. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to any bride looking for someone who will not only make you look absolutely beautiful, but also make you feel calm, confident and completely looked after. Thank you so much, Rhia, you were amazing! ❤️

Rhia was a dream!

If I could give Rhia more than 5 stars I would. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was so warm and welcoming and for me (being a nervous bride!) this put me so at ease and felt like I was in the company of a friend. From the trial, Rhia made sure that she understood exactly what I wanted and what my needs were, what my normal skincare & makeup routine was etc. and what I envisioned for the day, and made all my dreams come true! I can’t thank you enough for being a part of my day & making it that much more special!

Would recommend to anyone!

Rhia was possibly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Having never had my makeup done before, I came to her with no real idea of what I wanted and she was able to make me look and feel better than I could have ever imagined. Both of my bridesmaids had also never had their makeup done professionally before and we all barely ever wear makeup so we were a bit nervous but Rhia made us feel so at ease. She elevated our natural looks without making us feel like we had a lot of makeup on which made us feel so comfortable. Rhia was so accommodating as I was breastfeeding my 3 month old while having my makeup done. She worked around us and spent the time chatting about her own daughter which was so lovely. When it came to getting dressed, neither myself nor my bridesmaids could work out how to tie the corset on my dress, but Rhia came to the rescue and helped us! She really is an asset to have on your wedding day and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
I looked around at a number of make up artists and wasn't really sold on anyones work, but I still requested quotes from people. I assumed all make up artists would have similar styles and maybe I just didn't like the look of a full face of make up. It wasn't until I came across Rhia's Instagram page that I realised how beautifully natural you can look with a full face on. Rhia was the most reasonably priced out of all the quotes I received, very lucky considering she was the only one whose work I loved.

Perfect MUA

Make up was something I was nervous about as someone who doesn’t wear make up very often.

Rhia put me at ease immediately on first meeting - she has a very calm nature, and listened intently to my ideas.

The look she created at the trial was fab, but the communication doesn’t stop between trial and wedding day - there was some small changes I requested which Rhia gladly acted on, and the final look on my wedding day was absolutely perfect.

I felt so confident and an elevated version of me - people were complimenting me all day!

My make up lasted amazingly well, through wind, rain, many tears and energetic dancing!

What I love about Rhia is that she is so experienced and incredible at what she does, but she doesn’t push anything on you. She truly listens and very clearly wants to make you feel your absolute best - and she definitely did that!

Thank you Rhia!

Bridal make up artist of dreams😍❤️

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Rhia for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the trial to the big day, she made me feel so comfortable and asked all the right questions to really understand my vision and the overall vibe for the big day.
On the wedding day, Rhia was punctual, professional, and excited! My makeup was flawless, natural and lasted all day, through tears and dancing.
I have never felt so beautiful.
Rhia travelled to two locations, helping me and bridal party get ready. I have been told that Rhia and her amazing assistant for the day, Simran, offered to help set up! They even took pics and videos of me and my bridal party getting ready which are priceless!
I would highly recommend Rhia, if you want someone who’s skilled, reliable, and able to make you look and feel amazing on your big day! Thank you so so much Rhia xx

Absolutely incredible!

Rhia did my makeup for my wedding last weekend along with 5 bridesmaids, my mother of bride and mother of groom. I have nothing but positive words to say about the experience Rhia created from start to finish. From working through the dream look in the trial, recommendations in between on skincare and products to creating a beautiful look on the day of my wedding.

I can't thank Rhia enough for her professionalism and calm energy she brought on the day, especially with such a large bridal party and early start! I have never felt so confident and beautiful and my bridal party said the same about their looks too.

I would highly recommend Rhia if you're looking for a makeup artist who is professional, calming, welcoming and will create a look that you wanted and more.

Thank you Rhia!

The best MUA!

I cannot thank Rhia enough for all her help in the lead up to and on the day of my wedding. From the initial consultation, trial to to the day of, Rhia has been great at sharing her make-up knowledge to help me understand what works best for my skin, to achieve the vision I had for my make up. Rhia was also incredible on the day, she has the perfect calm personality needed for a really emotional day; talking to her while getting ready helped me feel grounded. Rhia is an expert at her craft, and the make up she did for myself, MOH and Mum was incredible! I am so, so lucky to have found Rhia. Thank you!

Calm, Friendly & Exceptionally Talented

I booked Rhia for my wedding day to do makeup for myself and five members of my bridal party, and she was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Communication beforehand was always warm, friendly, and professional. My trial went amazingly, I knew straight away I was in safe and capable hands.

On the day, Rhia arrived bright and early. She brought such a calm and friendly energy and kept everything running smoothly. My makeup was exactly what I wanted, truly flawless, and it lasted all day and night!

Rhia made everyone feel comfortable and confident, and each look was beautiful and perfectly suited to the person.

I couldn’t recommend Rhia highly enough!

Soft Glam Perfection

I only looked at a few MUAs and Rhia jumped out at me.
I never wear a full face of make up and I was apprehensive about how it would look.
Rhia was so calming and personable and put me at ease. She listened to exactly what I wanted and took on board the theme and general look of the dress and day to allow the make up to enhance that.
I didn't feel overly done up and had exactly that soft, timeless look I wanted.
She is professional and knowledgeable, giving good advice to lead up to the wedding for your skin (and general wedding admin).
Further, on the wedding morning, it was a pleasure to have her in the room, she was one of the girls and I had a peaceful, lovely and special wedding morning with her making me look and feel my best self.

Emily - Wedding

I would highly recommend Rhia to anyone looking for a bridal makeup artist
She’s so friendly and easygoing and really made me and my girls feel at ease from our first zoom meeting, during the trials and the wedding morning. We got on really well, she was a pleasure to have around on the morning and chat with. It was like having a mate around.
She was also super adaptable to any changes we all needed, was patient, great attention to detail, and absolutely nailed everyone’s makeup on the day.
I absolutely LOVED my makeup, it was stunning, especially the eyes, they were so perfect. My skin had never looked so flawless And it all lasted all day, which was especially good since my wedding was such an early start! My girls and my mum also all looked amazing!

Can’t thank you enough Rhia for making me look and feel my best on my wedding day!
