Ruby is a make up artist AND magician!

Ruby was a dream to work with! From the very first time I contacted her, through my make up trial, all the way up to my wedding day, she was calm, kind and an ultimate professional. We had nine girls having thier make up done and Ruby managed all the timings perfectly whilst still giving each girl the time and space to have the make up they truly wanted, making them feel one million dollars.

As the bride, I have never felt more beautiful, but also exactly like myself. My makeup held SO WELL, despite it being an unexpectedly hot day (ty etsy witch). I would reccomend Ruby in a heart beat.

The incredible Ruby!

Having discovered my daughter-in-law to be was going to do her own make up just a few weeks before the wedding, and meeting Ruby at a mutual friends party, I didn’t hesitate to check if she had the day available. Being a Wednesday I was in luck and so grateful for her speedy response and desire to help us.

Ruby was efficient and flexible whilst I quickly rallied up the numbers and requirements, with fantastic communication in the height of wedding season.

Very reasonable pricing and even more so after all the compliments we had!

Myself and the bridal party rarely wear make up, Ruby knew exactly what we wanted by just a few sentences and made everyone look incredible!

In the dressing room, with our hair stylist she had never met, it was calm but exciting like we had known Ruby for years and she just couldn’t wait for the whole day to be perfect for us!

Look no further if you want a calm morning, value for money, incredible knowledge and compliments all day long!

Thank you Ruby 🤍

Ruby was absolutely incredible from start to finish and I cannot recommend her enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ruby is incredibly talented and knowledgeable, and it’s clear she takes great pride in her work. She uses high-quality products and has an amazing ability to create beautiful, flawless makeup that lasts all day/night.

From our very first trial, Ruby was so professional, communicative and responsive. She really listened to all of our thoughts and requests, and was incredibly accommodating when plans changed. On the wedding morning, Ruby worked across two venues to make everything run as smoothly as possible.

Ruby is not only incredibly talented, but also someone you will genuinely enjoy having around on your wedding morning. She was unbelievably efficient and hardworking, taking on 5 bridesmaids, 1 bride and 2 mothers all in one morning! Despite how much she had to do, she remained completely calm, kind and reassuring, putting everyone at ease.

Ruby made every single person feel confident and beautiful. This was particularly special for my mum, who has never had her makeup professionally done and doesn't normally wear makeup. Ruby made her feel completely comfortable and at ease. The whole bridal party absolutely loved how they looked!

I was honestly over the moon with my makeup and how I felt on the day.
Thank you so, so much Ruby. You are amazing! ❤️

Highly recommend

I would definitely recommend Ruby! From start to finish she made me feel at ease and is an expert in her field. Ruby knew I was apprehensive about too much make up but I can honestly say for our wedding in 2026 she made me feel beautiful. Ruby also did make up for my bridesmaid and mother of the bride. We all felt special and I really did enjoy spending time with Ruby. Also great value for money.

Amazing!!!

Ruby was amazing from the start, as soon as I contacted Ruby the service was spot on. I did a trail and had some reference photos and Ruby nailed it and again on the day. The process was made so easy and everything was running on time. All the girls loved Ruby and how relaxed it was. We wanted to get some photos with the photographer and it was never an issue. Would 100% recommend Ruby to anyone.

Fantastic service

Ruby is a very talented make-up artist. From booking her for a trial through to my wedding day, communication was easy and she put me at ease from the minute we met. Ruby was able to advise on the look I wanted and I was really pleased with the end result. Ruby worked with my hairdresser to make sure everyone was ready on time and I would recommend her 100%. I also felt she was very reasonably priced for the great service she provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again

Wedding day Oct 25

Ruby was absolutely amazing at doing mine and my bridesmaids makeup. I quote from one of my bridesmaid, "I don't want to take my makeup off, I have never looked this beautiful!"

Ruby was fantastic during my trial and wedding day. She answered all my questions and recommended foundations that suited my skin beautifully and looked flawless.

I am so glad you was part of my special day and I appreciated everything you did for us. Thank you!

5 stars aren’t enough! ⭐️♾️🤩

I can’t thank Ruby enough for the absolutely stunning job she did on my wedding day! From the very first trial, she listened so carefully to what I wanted and made me feel completely at ease. On the day itself, she was calm, professional, and such a lovely presence to have around — exactly what every bride needs!
My makeup lasted flawlessly all day and night, even through happy tears, dancing, and hugs. I felt like the best version of myself — radiant, confident, and beautiful. She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, who all looked gorgeous and felt so comfortable in their looks.
Ruby is truly talented, passionate about her craft, and has such an eye for detail. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to any bride-to-be — she’s an absolute gem! 💕

Literal perfection!

Ruby made all my bridesmaids and me feel absolutely gorgeous. Having the trial was also amazing, we got to talk about all the things we could do, and Ruby made sure to do a look that felt like me.
That day is probably the best I have ever looked (and probably ever will 🤭) Thank you so much Ruby! ♥️

Ruby is amazing!

Ruby was absolutely brilliant and super flexible with my request of myself as the bride, my mum and seven bridesmaids. The price was more than reasonable for such beautiful work. I felt so listened to when it came to what I wanted and no one felt anything short of beautiful on the wedding day itself! She is extremely talented and I couldn’t recommend Ruby more!

5* wedding make up artist!

Ruby was the make up artist for my wedding in August, creating the perfect look for me, my mother and 3 bridesmaids. Ruby was so professional and it was great to meet her for the first time during my trial. I immediately knew I was in safe hands and I was amazed at the look she achieved for me. My day to day make up look is very basic but she created a fabulous natural look which looked great but also felt light on my skin.

Her communication was exceptional throughout the process. Whether in relation to arranging the trial, payments or plans in the run up to the day.

The morning of the wedding was so enjoyable and my bridal party really enjoyed Ruby styling their make up. She coordinated brilliantly with the hair stylist and was so friendly throughout.

Overall, I would 100% recommend Ruby. I couldn't have asked for a better make up artist to style me on my wedding day!

Wonderful Make Up Artist

Ruby did my bridal make up and my bridesmaids make up and I was blown away, with her make up skills and also her lovely personality and communication from start to finish. I had a trial before the day, not really having too much knowledge on make up, and usually wearing very minimal looks. She asked a lot of questions and really listened to what I was looking for. I felt like an absolute queen on my wedding day and still felt so comfortable in my own skin. You would be crazy not to book her for your wedding!

Highly Recommended!!

I can’t recommend [Makeup Artist’s Name] enough! She did my make up for my wedding day, as well as for my 5 bridesmaids and my mum, and she was absolutely incredible. From the moment she arrived, she created such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which made the whole morning run so smoothly.

Everyone was so impressed with their make up - it looked beautiful in person and in photos, and it lasted perfectly all day and night. She really listened to what each of us wanted and made sure we all felt confident and comfortable.

I’m so grateful to have had her as part of my wedding morning - she was professional, talented, and such a lovely presence to be around. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.

Thanks again xx

Amazing results! Super talented

I had such an amazing experience working with Ruby! From my trial to my wedding day, she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She really listened to what I wanted, gave great suggestions, and created a look that was even better than I imagined. On the day of my wedding, she was calm, professional, and so kind - exactly the energy I needed. My makeup lasted beautifully all day and night, and I got so many compliments. I can’t thank her enough for helping me feel my best on such a special day. I highly recommend her to any bride-to-be!

My Wedding 25th May 2025

Me and my wife got married on the 25th May. We booked makeup quite last minute and I chose Ruby after looking at quite a few other makeup artists and looking at socials at what style each one was. Ruby is a great MUA, she was great from the start and very professional. On the trial She asked for lots of inspiration and always said that she could change something if i wanted it changed. She sent over a full breakdown of costs including deposits for the day and for the trial. Each one had the date that it was needed to be paid (I may have accidentally not paid for the ceremony on the right date) but she messaged me a few days later to make sure I was going to pay but was very polite and very okay about it. On the actual ceremony date she came on time and very ready! She started with my mum and then me and then my sister. I wanted to add an eyeliner flick on the day and she was ready to add it into my look straight away. She also made sure everything was perfect, made sure that before I left for the ceremony she touched up all the last bits after I had been crying a bit whilst putting my dress on. But the look was flawless and gorgeous and I couldn’t have asked for a better look than what I got.
