Couldn’t of had anyone better!!

Sophie did the most fantastic job on my wedding make-up she was amazing from start to finish with the trial and the day. She made everybody look so great and really listened to what they wanted. She went the extra mile on everything and was so responsive, even down to helping me source some lipsticks as a gift for the bridesmaids. Could recommend anyone better and will defo be using her again for any event i am going to!

I love Sophie and you will too!

Wow—Sophie! What can I say? I hadn’t originally booked a makeup artist because I’m quite fussy, and after a few trials I still hadn’t found the right fit. But when someone recommended Sophie to me via Instagram, everything suddenly became clear—she was meant to be my makeup artist.

She is truly phenomenal, and I couldn’t have asked for better. She travelled to my home for the trial, and from the moment she arrived it felt like chatting with an old friend. We talked through all my options in detail—what I had liked and disliked from previous trials—and she guided me through every single step of the process with such care and expertise.

After the trial, communication with Sophie was flawless. There was absolutely no pressure to confirm a booking, which I really appreciated. Instead, we had open and honest conversations about how the makeup wore throughout the day (for the record, it lasted perfectly all day long!).

Of course, I went on to book Sophie for my wedding at the end of March 2026—and I’m so glad I did. She travelled to the venue on the day, arrived right on time, and set up quickly. Her entire kit was professional, spotless, and beautifully organised.

For the wedding, I had makeup booked for myself as the bride, my mum, my maid of honour, and my 10-year-old bridesmaid—who had just a touch of powder and a bit of glitter. I had originally also booked for the mother of the groom, but needed to make a change, and Sophie handled this with no issue at all.

On the day itself Sophie stuck to the schedule she had emailed me in advance and listened to everything each one of my beautiful bridal team needed. Sophie went above and, along with my hairdresser was truly a key part of my wedding preparations. My third and final bridesmaid was 18 years old at the time of the wedding and had chosen to do her own makeup, however after struggling to source her own faux lashes Sophie stepped right in and even added these for her too! I honestly cannot recommend her enough and have even enquired with her to book her for an event I am attending in the summer. I have truly found my "makeup lady" in Sophie and I look forward to chatting away with her before all big events of life - because I know I will be booking with her again!

1000% recommend!

Sophie did my make up trial for my wedding and made me so excited for the big day! She is professional, so lovely to work with, has a good experience and knowledge with different products, really personable and I left feeling beautiful - and I’m not one to wear make up! Highly recommend for your big day.

Sophie made me feel so beautiful!

Sophie did my wedding make up and made me feel so beautiful!
She was amazing for my make up trial and made changes when I was unsure what would suit me (being someone who likes a matte-look but also wanted it to look natural!)
Sophie also did the make up for my bridesmaids and they all said she was so friendly and did their make up exactly how they wanted it to look!
I would highly recommend Sophie and will be using her services again for future events!

10 /10!!!!!

I had Sophie do my make up and my bridesmaids make up for my wedding day. All of us felt so beautiful! All of us had very different styles of make up which we prefer. Some like full coverage while offers wanted a more natural glowy look. She catered to everyone’s needs and listened to what we all wanted to look and feel.
She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. Super friendly and professional!
I cannot recommend her enough!
Not only she do my makeup for my wedding day but she also created a beautiful smokey eye look for me for a party, and the compliments just kept rolling in !
All the products she used were of high quality and just made you feel even more fabulous

Talented and lovely make up artist!

Sophie is not only a talented make up artist but is also extremely lovely and so easy to work with! She did my make up as a bridesmaid for a friends wedding and will soon be doing it again for my own wedding! I was apprehensive having my makeup done professionally as I have had bad experiences in the past however she has a great understanding of what you want, askimg the right questions along the way and really wants you to feel happy and comfortable with the end result. If you're looking for a makeup artist who will not only make you feel relaxed but also look incredible, look no further than Sophie!
