Charlie Mac Hair & Makeup Full Description
Training at the London College of Makeup and AOFM (Academy of Freelance Makeup) equipped me with a wide range of practical skills enabling me to begin my journey. Before turning my hand to hair and makeup I gained a BA degree in Graphic design and Advertising and then went on to complete a Masters degree in Film and Television Production. I have experience working behind the camera for celebrity photographer Rankin and at Atlantic records to name a few. Since completing my initial training I have attended a number of short courses at studios such as LOVE HAIR and Neil Gorton. Learning new techniques and styles is so important in an ever-changing industry such as beauty. I want to make every client and bride feel their most beautiful, whilst also being able to recognise themselves in the mirror. Looking at the beauty in each person, and highlighting these elements to enhance ones personality, really is a joy. Being a hair stylist and makeup artist allows me to express my creativity and help someone to feel their best. I still find magic in how a few brushstrokes and clever use of colour can totally transform a face. Utilising cherry picked products from brands such as Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tillbury and MAC to name a few. The personal relationships built between my clients and myself is carried through to the wedding day. I am on hand to help calm nerves and understand a bride’s needs. My aim is to make the start of your special day a happy and memorable one.

She made me feel so beautiful and natural

Charlie was absolutely fantastic for both the trial and the wedding morning. She made me feel so beautiful and natural, and the process of creating the wedding look was really collaborative and flexible. She made all my bridesmaids and my mum look and feel so beautiful on the wedding morning, and the process was really relaxed - couldn't recommend her more highly!

Would highly recommend Charlie for your wedding

Would highly recommend Charlie for your wedding hair and makeup. She was so lovely and welcoming when we met for the trial and then on the wedding day. Charlie was able to put me at ease and her team did a great job on my family and bridesmaids. Thank you!

She did my hair and make up for my wedding

Cannot recommend Charlie enough! She did my hair and make up for my wedding in June and was just absolutely brilliant. We loved her! My bridesmaids and I were all so happy with our hair and make up, and Charlie (and her assistants) made the getting ready experience so enjoyable. She was calm and super organised (with 10 of us to get ready!) and just really lovely to chat to. Highly recommend!

Charlie was absolutely fantastic and made me (and my entourage!) all feel really beautiful. She was a very calming influence and a great person to start the day with. Highly recommend!

She did a brilliant job and I felt so beautiful

Charlie did such an amazing job at my friends wedding last summer that it was an easy decision to hire her for my own wedding this spring. She did a brilliant job and I felt so beautiful and was so sad at the end of the night when it came time to take off my (still perfect) makeup. Not only is she wonderfully talented she was also a lovely calming presence to have in the house on the morning of my wedding. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services and would definitely rebook with her.

I cannot pass along the recommendation enough

Charlie was recommended to me for my wedding and I cannot pass along the recommendation enough!! She is an absolute dream to work with and helped me create the perfect vision for my hair and makeup. Both stayed all day / night and I really couldn't have been happier. She used really lush, high quality products and I was really impressed with her selection. I absolutely recommend Charlie for any hair & makeup services you may need!

Perfect morning and I felt beautiful all day!

Booked Charlie and her assistant for my wedding day makeup and hair, they were both amazing, super friendly and made us feel really comfortable and at ease. I had 5 bridesmaids and a flower girl it was a busy morning but it didn't feel rushed at all, felt like we were being pampered! Perfect morning and I felt beautiful all day! Highly Recommend!

I was so pleased with how it came out for my day

Overall fantastic and I can't recommend Charlie enough. Charlie did my hair and makeup for my wedding in October 2022. It made it so much easier having one person do both and I was so pleased with how it came out for my day, and all my bridesmaids looked wonderful too. The bridal trial really helped to make a decision and see how it could come together before the big day and it put me fully at ease before the wedding. On the day, Charlie (and assistant) were so friendly.

I couldn't have asked for a better stylist

Charlie did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September and I couldn't have asked for a better stylist. She was happy to experiment with any ideas I had whilst giving her advise. I have sensitive skin and she was extra careful to ensure I was happy with all the products she was using. Contact was very efficient and we really appreciated the extra effort she went to to make sure everyone looked perfect before we left for the venue. Would highly recommend her to anyone.

She was a dream to have around on the morning

Charlie is incredible! I hired her for my London wedding in August 2022 and not only is she hugely talented at hair and makeup but she was a dream to have around on the morning helping ensure every detail was perfect. The day itself was a heatwave yet everything stayed in place the entire day. I could not recommend her highly enough.
