Firstly, wow! Emilie is a true talent. I have sensitive, oily, and rosacea prone skin, so you can only imagine the challenge. This didn’t bother Emilie one bit. She went above and beyond for me, ensuring my makeup lasted all day and night. And it did! I got so many compliments, but most importantly she made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. Do not hesitate to book this incredible lady. I will forever recommend her!

I was lucky enough to have Emilie do my bridal makeup. She set me at ease straight away and was extremely knowledgeable, suggesting shades and styles to suit my skin and wedding look. She absolutely nailed it. The makeup stayed on the whole day, even through some very warm weather!

Emilie did such a wonderful job for my wedding makeup. I still felt like myself, but an elevated version.
I had caught the sun quite badly, and Emilie managed to colour correct my skin wonderfully! She was very friendly and personable, and I felt completely at ease.
10/10 - wonderful human inside and out! -

Emilie did my wedding day makeup and it was perfect. We did a preview together and then on the day, I completely changed what I wanted and she nailed it! She also did the makeup of my mum and mother-in-law, who both loved their makeup and enjoyed being able to ask her questions.
