Amy’s skill & service….simply sublime!

I count myself amongst the fortunate as I have been lucky enough to have my make up done by Amy twice; once when I was a bridesmaid for a best friend and then, again, on my own wedding day. There is nobody else that I would have entrusted with such an important element of my special day. I can not praise her work highly enough & only wish I could somehow clone Amy and have her do my make-up everyday! I would go so far as to say that Amy is a master of her trade, a perfectionist with an amazing eye for detail. But more than this, Amy is the perfect person to have with you on that most important morning of your life, the girl has great banter! We had such a giggle and she was such a calming influence throughout the bridal preparations, even offering to go downstairs and check that things were going to plan when I got a little panicky!

Amy was a true professional throughout the whole process… I have very little clue when it comes to make-up and really didn’t know where to begin, but Amy was able to guide and advise me as to the best look for the day, Needless to say, what I had thought I had wanted, wasn’t what I wanted at all, but between us we were able to set upon a look which would go on to make me feel better than I had ever done before. I should probably also mention that, being of afro-Caribbean ethnic origin, I had a bit of a challenge on my hands when finding the right hairdresser, but this couldn’t have been less of a problem when it came to my make-up, Amy had such a range of products to cater for every skin tone.

On the day itself, Amy arrived promptly organised us all so that my bridesmaids and I were all ready in good time and made us all up to look amazing! Amy turned her expert hands to my beautiful bridesmaids and perfected their make-up despite the fact that they had not had a trial. She had a case full of make-up of the highest quality products which lasted the whole day long! Amy continued to check and touch up my make-up where necessary right up until the moment I needed to leave the room and face the aisle. I have since received so many compliments about my make up and I will be able to look back at the pictures taken on the day confidently forever.

With heartfelt thanks x x x

As soon as I started planning who to do my make up on the day of my wedding, I knew Amy would be the one . Her attention to detail and knowledge of products was amazing and she truly delivers a first class service. I was touched that she made the journey down to South Wales both for the trial and on the Wedding day and was reliable and prompt.
At the trial, she arrived with two huge bags of products and listened carefully to the look we wanted. Not being comfortable wearing a lot of heavy make up, myself the bridesmaids and my mum were all immediately put at ease and given a classic natural look. Amy knew exactly which products and colours would suit us all and matched the make up perfectly to our different skin types. We didn’t even feel like we had any make up on. She immediately gelled with everyone and made everyone feel comfortable with her bubbly personality. We didn’t want the experience to end!!
When the Wedding Day arrived, we all felt in safe hands and Amy was such a calm person to be around on the morning. She also worked well with our hair stylist and she was a pleasure to be around. We had many laughs which made us feel so relaxed. I had an attack of greasy skin and pimples on the day which was making me very anxious, and Amy immediately solved the problem and made my skin look and feel flawless.
Our make up lasted all day and we had many comments about how glamorous we all looked. This was 100% due to Amy’s professionalism and talent. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect make up artist.
Thank you so much for making us feel so special.
