Wedding makeup

Sophie was amazing from start to finish. Very professional, responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Sophie listened to what I wanted and created such an amazing look, which lasted all day/ night and looked good in pics! I had full confidence in Sophie, and would recommend her highly to any Bride

Just the best

We had a very small low key wedding, but I am so glad and grateful that Sophie was able to do my makeup. She did the most incredible job at the trial and on the day and is so, so good at what she does. She’s also the loveliest person, it was like getting ready with a friend. Thank you once again Sophie :-) xoxo

Amazing! Thank you!!

Whilst arranging my wedding make up with Sophie, she was so helpful and accommodating, always replying in reasonable timing.
Sophie listened to the looks everyone wanted and took on board our inspo pics, whilst also offering her professional opinion/ recommendations.
Meeting with Sophie for our trials, she was instantly welcoming and kind. This continued to the wedding morning, helping to create a relaxed and perfect atmosphere.
The make up itself was perfectly applied, feeling lightweight, and lasted the duration of the day - surviving tears and laughter!
Sophie’s professionalism is impeccable, from personality to make up use/ application (especially the hygiene side).
I couldn’t recommend Sophie more - any future events I will always return and can’t wait for the next visit.
Thank you!!!

Wedding makeup review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sophie, where do I even begin?
You made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Your attention to detail, the time and care you put into every step—it didn’t go unnoticed. You’re incredibly professional, calm, and talented, and my makeup has never looked as flawless as it does when it’s done by you. Thank you for making me feel so confident and radiant on such an important day.

Perfect. Chilled and professional

Sophie did my make up for my wedding along with my bridesmaids. And what can I say. She nailed it! I've never felt so beautiful and everyone was saying how amazing everyone looked (confidence booster) nothing was too big or to small to ask. She is very down to earth and makes you feel at ease. I couldn't recommend sophie enough. Xx

Very professional and a lovely person

Sophie did mine and my bridesmaid's make-up for my wedding in March.
I had never had my make-up done professionally before and wasn't sure what I wanted. Sophie explained everything and gave me the natural look I had asked for.
On my wedding day, Sophie was prompt and kept us calm and on time with getting ready.
She even helped out with our dresses which was over and above and unexpected.
I would definitely recommend Sophie and will be booking her services for future events I am attending.
Thank you Sophie for making me look and feel fabulous on my special day!

Best makeup artist ever!

Sophie is amazing at what she does, she is professional, friendly and one of the most kind people I’ve ever met. I’ve been going to Sophie for several years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Sophie’s studio is absolutely beautiful, always so clean and her hygiene standards are super high which is always so important. Sophie takes the time to listen to what you would like and take inspo from pictures/ previous clients she has worked on to create exactly what you want. I have booked Sophie for my 2024 wedding to do myself and 3 bridesmaids makeup and Honestly can’t wait! If you are having doubts about booking please take this as your sign to book - you won’t regret it!!

The best!!

Sophie is amazing! I have used Sophie for years, so when it came to my wedding in Portugal, I knew there was nobody better for my make up. Sophie out did herself, my make up was amazing, stayed on all day and night even in the heat! The best!

Fantastic Bridal Make-Up

Sophie did mine and my wedding party’s make up for my wedding in September 2022 and she did an incredible job. We had so many compliments throughout the day, and she made us all feel so relaxed and comfortable. I’m so happy I chose her to be part of my special day, I’ve since been back to see her for a full face of make up and again she didn’t disappoint. I can’t recommend her enough!

Absolutely amazing!

I absolutely loved my bridal make up!

Sophie is the most lovely person, she is so professional and made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable.

She really took her time to make sure we were all happy with our look, the make up did not budge all day! I’d recommend her to anyone.

Wedding makeup 22.08.21

Sophie was absolutely amazing on my wedding day and was so supportive with my multiple wedding postponements! I booked with Sophie for everything from my engagement party makeup, hen party makeup, mini ceremony (I had a Covid restricted registry office wedding) and finally my actual wedding day! Sophie achieved the look I wanted perfectly each time. She is so talented and to top it off she is the loveliest person! I’m quite an anxious person but Sophie always makes me feel at ease .. A trial was included within the wedding package and I was so relieved to find someone who understood exactly what I was looking for ( I’d had a trial with someone else beforehand and was disappointed with the results so was worried whether the look I had in my head was even achievable but Sophie absolutely smashed it)! I can’t thanks Sophie enough for making me feel so amazing on my wedding day and highly recommend her services!!
