100% Recommended

As someone that rarely (as in never ) wears make up I was very nervous about having a full face for my wedding. Tanya was absolutely fantastic,she listened to what I wanted and the look was perfect ! I have never felt so pretty in my life …. thank you Tanya xxx

I can’t recommend her enough

Tanya was amazing throughout the whole process and I can’t recommend her enough. I don’t use much make up daily and during the trial she made me feel at ease. On the day Tanya was really easy going and was a lovely addition to the wedding morning. Tanya did a wonderful job on all of us and the makeup looked beautiful. She listened to everyone’s requests and it all went really smoothly. Tanya is really easy to communicate with and very professional. Definitely ask Tanya to be your makeup artist for your wedding day! I liked the fact she used vegan and cruelty free make up too. Thank you so much Tanya! x

Tanya was amazing from day one - not only responsive and helpful in a professional sense, but also really sweet and thoughtful with the advice she gave, and how much she genuinely seemed to care about putting me at ease and making sure I got the most out of my day. It was important to me to have a makeup artist that was down to earth and warm, that i knew I'd get on with on the day and would make everything really light and fun, and that's Tanya down to a tee. My mum and I had a fab time at the trial, and on the day, the 2 of us, plus my sister and no less than 6 bridesmaids, all had a fab time getting ready with Tanya and her 2 lovely assistants. It was wonderful to me to see how stunning every one of them looked!! A special shout out has to go to Tanya for staying at least an extra hour after I'd asked her to, to re do my hair from a lovely half-up style, to a messy bun, in line with my outfit change (from traditional Indian in the day, to western in the evening). Not only did I adore both hair styles - I also really appreciated having a friendly face there, during a nerve-wracking part of the day! All in all, can highly recommend - good value, fab service, and a really lovely lady

Tanya provided the make up and hair for myself and 6 members of the Wedding party for my Wedding. I felt totally at ease with Tanya from start to finish. She was wonderful to have in the room on the day. Tanya also brought an assistant who was equally fab! With 7 different women with very different needs the team of 2 were great. Communication with Tanya was easy and I also enjoyed my trial. Can't wait to see the photos! Thanks Tanya x x

Her skills are amazing

Tanya is an amazing make up artist! Her skills are amazing, all blemishes were hidden while still looking natural and not like i had thick make up on. we all looked amazing and still looked like we did at the end of the night even with it being a hot day and dancing. Tanya was an absolute star on the wedding day, she helped with anything she could once the make up was done, from doing up bridesmaid dresses to helping hold the dress while my shoes were put on. she made me feel calm from the day i met her for the trail to the moment i walked out the door to walk down the aisle she always answered my emails and any questions i had, and even my changes in make up were not a problem. Thank you so much for everything, the touch up kit was also very useful. you made us all feel very beautiful :)

What is your most memorable wedding?

I worked with another artist for a large wedding at Ardington House, a stunning venue in Wantage, Oxfordshire. I did the makeup for 7 bridesmaids and the Mother of the Bride. The Bridesmaids wore the most beautiful sarees and the Bride had a gorgeous embellished bridal gown. There was such a mix of events for the wedding from Afternoon Tea to Indian Traditions. It was beautiful!

What about your business are you most proud of?

Really working with my clients to understand what they want for their special day. Also, being a finalist in the English Wedding Awards 2017 & 2018
