Amazing

I chose Karen as my wedding makeup artist and I couldn’t not have chosen anyone better, she was so sweet and funny and made the getting ready process so relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. My makeup was absolutely flawless and lasted the whole night, I felt amazing she was so reassuring and did the most she could to make me and my wedding party feel comfortable including giving my her ring to fiddle with! If you are considering choosing Karen for your wedding do it ❤️

The best MUA around!!

Karen did the most amazing job for my wedding in September. She was such a calming and fun presence all morning and did such a stellar job for me, my bridesmaids and my mum. She really tailored her makeup to everyone, so they looked natural, glamourous and felt confident all day. Special thanks for making my mum feel so calm (and for the lipstick!) - she is over the moon. I would recommend Karen 100% to anyone looking to have the most amazing makeup, and also the most chilled and fun getting ready morning before their wedding! Thank you so much again Karen! xx

Lovely makeup, friendly and accommodated my allergies

Karen was wonderful right from the start! I have a lot of allergies and she was incredibly accommodating and patient, working with me to find what was right. When I had my makeup trial there were some things that didn’t quite align to my vision and I let Karen know and she was able to talk me through exactly how she would do things differently on the day. She was so kind and this gave me real confidence that she would be even more brilliant on the day. My wedding I looked great all thanks to Karen and I’m so pleased to have had her for my day, not only for the wonderful makeup but for the chat and tips too!

A Bride’s best friend

Karen is an angel sent from heaven. If you want a naturally joyous, hilarious, extremely talented make up artist Karen is your women. This is the 2nd time I’ve had the pleasure to have Karen do my makeup, the first time being for my mums wedding. I was so excited for when it came to my wedding day and Karen would be part of my wedding morning. Karen is genuinely the nicest, most authentic, down to earth, funny women I’ve ever met, she really did become a brides best friend on my wedding morning. She went above and beyond making us all feel relaxed, she listened and took the time to really get us and ensure all our makeup was stunning and what we wanted/ actually suited us. We had a last minute change of hair stylist and ended up doing each others and Karen massively stepped up to help without a 2nd thought. Not only that she helped keep us on track with timings and ensured the morning ran smoothly. I have never laughed so hard and enjoyed my morning more than with Karen. I cannot recommend her enough. She made me look and feel so beautiful. Karen you are an absolute legend. Thank you for everything you did x

Perfect, perfect, perfect

I had my wedding in Cornwall but live in Oxfordshire, so finding local suppliers was a must. After searching on social media, I came across Karen’s platforms and was instantly impressed—I didn’t think twice about booking her! Since I couldn’t travel for a trial, I relied on her amazing reviews to reassure me, and I’m so glad I did. On the morning of the wedding, I was feeling nervous, but Karen’s infectious, bubbly personality put us all completely at ease. She truly looked after us, and we had such a great laugh! Her kindness is something I’ll never forget—she’s just a wonderful, down-to-earth person. And then… I saw my makeup. OMG. I never usually feel good about myself, but when I looked in the mirror, I was genuinely stunned. It was perfect. For the first time, I felt truly beautiful, and it even brought me to tears. Karen used amazing products and took the time to talk us through every step, making the whole experience feel special. Karen played such a huge part in making my wedding morning (and the entire day) as perfect as it was. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 💕

Couldn’t recommend Karen more highly 🥰

In short, I couldn’t recommend Karen more highly. As someone with a dry skin condition, who tends to sway towards minimal/natural makeup looks I was quite nervous at the prospect of getting my wedding makeup done, but knew I’d like to feel more glam than usual on the big day. I went for a trial with Karen, which I’d really recommend. We got to spend time together chatting through skin concerns, products, the look I was after. She not only did the most amazing trial, but really listened to me and recommended products which have honestly transformed my dry skin. I was very happy with how the trial went so wanted minimal changes, but Karen was so relaxed and easygoing with any changes / requests and made me feel so comfortable and certain that she was committed to me just being happy. On the big day, Karen was amazing. Not only was she the kindest and most calming presence to have around, which I really appreciated given the pre-wedding nerves, but did the most natural, beautiful makeup and I just felt like an enhanced version of myself. My skin was flawless and I wasn’t at all anxious about dryness, which is so rare for me. I was so pleased with not only the outcome of my makeup and hair, but also the choice of person to have play a part in such an important morning. She was patient, kind, very punctual and really helped to put me at ease. Thanks so much Karen, you’re amazing!

Simply the best!

Karen was absolutely amazing! She did my make up as a bridesmaid for my best friends wedding yesterday and I had nothing but compliments all day from the guests. I felt so glam. Karen really is just lovely as well, very easy to chat with whilst she was doing our make up, she talked through products used and made sure we were all happy with the final look before she finished. Honestly by the end of the service we all wanted this lady to be our friend! I will definitely book her for make up again in the future and I will happily be recommending her to absolutely everyone. 🩷
