I really appreciated you going the extra mile
Thank you so much for doing my wedding make up, I had so many comments about it. My mum and my bridesmaids loved theirs too. Not only that but I really appreciated you going the extra mile - my 2 year old niece absolutely loved her ‘sparkly lips’ and you even helped me do my dress up!! Thank you.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tina to anyone xxx

million star rating
After coming across Tina in 2014 by chance on google and after meeting and booking her for my sister's wedding day. And throughly loving the experience and how she made us look and feel. There was to be no question I would love her to be there for mine. I was so thrilled she could make it. Tina is a total breath of fresh air. A total profession, no question she knows exactly what she's doing and what suits all faces. Myself, my sister, mum and friend on my wedding morning let her work her magic. We all felt and looked amazing receiving so many lovely comments throughout the day. I was so happy with the whole look created. I would never have chosen anyone else. Such a wonderful lady to have with us on the happiest day I've ever had. Thank you so much Tina for being part of it. If there was a million star rating you'd still need more.
Love Laura xxx

Tina went above and beyond
Tina did makeup for my wedding day, myself and 3 bridesmaids. From the get go Tina was fab, I honestly couldn't recommend her enough. On my wedding day Tina went above and beyond to help out, take pics, touch up our makeup and help in the chilled vibe of the morning. I also had two tattoos covered by Tina for my wedding day. The coverage lasted all day and night, the tattoos aren't visible in any of our photos. Tina is so friendly and put me completely at ease on my wedding day. Thank you so much xxxx

extremely talented, she is also very professional
Tina, recently did my wedding make-up as well as my three adult and 3 child bridesmaids. Not only is Tina extremely talented, she is also very professional and very likeable.
Tina made us all look and feel a million dollars on the day and she also made us feel totally relaxed and comfortable.
From making the initial enquiry, to booking Tina, having the trial and then the actual wedding day, Tina dealt with everything extremely professionally and promptly.
I can't recommend Tina highly enough and I cannot wait for another excuse to be able to book her to do my make-up again.

importance of natural makeup
I had my bridal makeup trial today and loved it. Tina made me feel so comfortable and was so on my wavelength with regard to the importance of natural makeup, especially for a wedding day. My makeup is still going strong after being applied 8 hours ago and has even endured an afternoon nap! I can’t wait to see Tina again on the big day �

subtle but timeless style
I had my heart set on Tina for my wedding makeup after seeing how amazing my friend looked a few summers back. Her subtle but timeless style was just what I was after. From the initial booking, to the trials and then my big day I couldn’t have asked for more. An absolute professional and I would recommend her to anyone! �

My 29 years experience and reputation.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Book me early!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Tina is working 2 years in advance with bookings. The client needs to fill in an enquiry form via my website. Tina checks availability and sends a quote. Once this has been accepted a deposit is paid. The client will then contact Tina 3 months prior to the wedding day for the makeup trial. The outstanding balance is due on the trial. Each makeup application is bespoke. A before and after photo is taken and emailed after the trial. A personalised face chart and product list is given out so the client can purchase any items for touch ups. Tina arrives early on the wedding day to get set up and be your Makeup artist on your special day!

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
As I am a naturally calm person, this helps the Bride and wedding party plus my with my 29 years of experience and excellent reputation, not only will I make you look amazing but feel amazing too! You will have already had a makeup trial with me before the big day, (I don't take on Brides without one). With my friendly and professional approach, you will feel calm as soon as you sit in my makeup chair! Just sit back and enjoy the Professional experience.
What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
If your wedding makeup has been applied professionally it shouldn't necessarily need "touching up", however, you can purchase pressed powder and your lip products and keep them to hand for any touch ups throughout the day. Make sure the appropriate skin prep and textures have been used too to ensure it will photograph perfectly and to ensure longevity.
