Sarah is a true professional and so amazing at what she does as well as being lovely, kind and easy to get along with. Our trial ended up being a whole year and a half before our wedding day due to covid but this didn’t make any difference on the day as Sarah had come prepared and remembered exactly what we had talked about at the trial and recreated exactly the looks we had loved on the trial date! Sarah did make up for me, my two bridesmaids and mum and I can honestly say our makeup was absolutely perfect, I have never felt more confident, so thank you! Sarah also went above and beyond in helping the wedding party put on their buttonholes and corsages when time got a bit tight, everyone was truly grateful! Thank you Sarah, I will be recommending you to everyone xx

Sarah did my mother and mother-in-law's hair and make-up at our wedding and she did a wonderful job. They both looked absolutely lovely and were so happy. Sarah had a really calm manner which was special and much appreciated. I can recommend her very highly and we will certainly ask her to do hair and make-up again for other special occasions!

Sarah is excellent and clearly loves what she does. I just want to stress that Sarah makes you feel reassured with all of the stress that comes with a wedding (particularly in a pandemic). I also want to highlight that she had a family event on the day of my wedding, but was still there and happy to stick around for touch ups before we went over to the ceremony. No one felt rushed and actually when I explained to people that Sarah had an important day, they all said how amazing it was that she was there and took her time with each person. This is a big deal! It's so important to have confidence in your suppliers and know they are reliable (I have had several suppliers cancel on me because they had other things come up, not Covid related, such as friends weddings, family parties - some with really short notice - this was my third time planning this wedding). I am sure that I will never look as nice as I did on my wedding day. I am not very good with make up and do not wear much and once Sarah had worked her magic, I can honestly say my face didn't feel heavy or like it had anything on, it felt lovely and natural AND still looked great after an evening of jumping up and down to our live band and feeling (but not looking) like a sweaty mess. Sarah really knows her stuff and is amazing. I would highly recommend Sarah and think her style is beautiful. She is highly skilled, highly reliable and just a lovely person. Thank you, Sarah!

Booked Sarah for my best friends Wedding! Had already booked with a friend of mine who is a makeup artist but sadly due to COVID she has to cancel. Luckily she recommended Sarah to us! And we couldn’t of been happier! Not only is she friendly and brilliant at make up! But was also so impressed with how much detail she discussed, regarding skin care and make up looks we all wear, for us individually! I suffer with bad skin and she made me feel so comfortable and confident! Make up was a dream and lasted all day/night long AMAZING! Thank you again Sarah! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🥰

Sarah was fantastic with my wedding make-up and hair. She let me try loads of different looks as I started to get indecisive in the run up to the big day, and was so tolerant of this. Sarah has a lovely calming energy and did all make-up so professionally (5 of us in total) well in time of the service. Would definitely recommend ✅

Sarah was fantastic from start to finish and made myself and members of my bridal party feel picture perfect on my wedding morning. Honestly cannot thank Sarah enough. She listened to our preferred styles, what we liked / didn't like and really got to know our skin types at our trials, which just made the wedding morning seem so easy as she knew exactly what she was doing. Sarah was professional, easy going, supportive and just great at what she does. Nothing was too much trouble and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure things ran smoothly. Thank you Sarah - cannot recommend you enough. For anyone wondering if to book Sarah for their wedding makeup, just do it! You will not be disappointed. X

As many of the other ladies reviewing Sarah have said, I am not a big make up wearer at all and wanted to look ‘done’ on my wedding day but also didn’t want to feel caked in it. I explained all of this to Sarah and she listened carefully. It can be intimidating explaining something like that to someone in the trade but she got exactly the look I was wanting and tried several different shades etc until I was happy. I was reassured by the fact that Sarah wears very natural looking make up and celebrates the natural look herself and this was what initially drew me to her work. From first meeting Sarah in her lovely consultation room for my trial, I felt completely at ease. She had everything to make me feel like I was in safe and professional hands! A fancy chair, good lighting and a huge array of products. I was there for some time and didn’t feel rushed. I asked lots of questions and Sarah always showed how knowledgeable and experienced she is. I came away feeling like I’d had a treat of an afternoon; it was a real experience. Come the big day, Sarah was on time (maybe even early, always a plus when you are stressing out!) and did myself, my two adult bridesmaids and my two young nieces too, who wanted just a very light covering. We were squashed in a small space but nothing fazed Sarah, she was laughing and joking with us all, helping to take pictures etc and it was like having an extra friend there with us. She put me completely at ease. Sarah only left when everyone was happy with their look and we were all delighted. If you are considering Sarah for your wedding or any other special occasion then do it - you won’t regret it. I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah.

Sarah did my makeup for my Sons wedding. I don't wear much make up as a rule as have sensitive skin, prone to dermatitis so I was very worried the process. Sarah did a trial a few weeks before and at all times put my mind at rest that the products would be kind to my skin (they were) and that I wouldn't look too "over done"! I am over 60 so bless her she had a lot to contend with! I was over the moon with the results, the products she used are top notch so worked well, no redness/itchy patches which is what usually happens when I wear make up 🙁 On the day of the wedding Sarah achieved a natural look that suited my skin tone and age. I felt a million dollars and received lots of compliments which was a real confidence boost so THANKS SARAH for a job well done. Your patience, friendliness and professionalism meant a lot to me. xxx

Sarah is ever the professional MUA and makes you feel like you’re a friend rather than a client. Sarah listens to your ideas and makes them happen or she will happily make recommendations and give you ideas about different looks, which make-up brands are best and what best suits your skin tone. My wedding make-up was absolutely perfect and was truly flawless. Sarah helped me feel completely relaxed on my wedding day as I had every confidence in her amazing skills and she delivered exactly what I asked for (and what we had previously trialled). My make-up lasted all day too! I would absolutely work with Sarah again without hesitation. She’s personable, reliable, creative and just brilliant all round.

Firstly met Sarah when I was a bridesmaid for my mums wedding she done mine and my sisters makeup, that day is genuinely the prettiest I have ever felt and I am constantly re posting pictures from that day despite it being two years ago now. Such a lovely and warm lady, listened to what we both wanted and exceeded all expectations. Later went on to meet Sarah again and had a really fun day with her and her sister, where she said she played around and has some fun with my makeup, even her playing around is better then most makeup artists I've gone to for events. Overall a genuine and warm hearted lady who is brilliant at what she does x
