"The make up lasted all day and night
but looked seamless and fresh"

"Choosing the right make up artist is just as important as picking out the perfect dress in helping you feel as comfortable and confident as possible on your wedding day. If you’ve seen Sam’s work then you know that the looks she creates are elegant and beautifully applied — she is all about making you look perfectly put together but still yourself. I knew that was exactly what I wanted, and Sam achieved that and more.

I had so many compliments on the day that my make up was flawless and didn’t look heavy just for photographs. The make up lasted all day and night but looked seamless and fresh. Beyond the technical skill, Sam’s warmth and energy really put me and my whole bridal party at ease on the day and in the run up, which took a lot of stress off such an important moment. Yes you will look great in the photographs, but the memory of how you felt will be perfect too."

"I STILL LOOKED LIKE MYSELF BUT
MORE ELEVATED"

"Sam was amazing from the very beginning and put me at ease straight away. Sam went above and beyond on the wedding day - she kept the vibe really fun during the morning and made sure I was completely happy with my make-up. I really appreciated the fact that Sam waited until after the ceremony for me to do a touch up as it was a particularly hot weekend and there was quite a lot of crying during the ceremony! Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!"

"SAM WAS IMPECCABLE!"

"Sam did my bridal makeup and my two bridesmaids and she was impeccable! She took the time to understand each of our usual makeup styles and skin types and the results were just perfect! Sam was also so patient during my trial where we tried multiple different eye makeup styles until I was beyond happy. I have never felt more confident than on my wedding day and my makeup was such a huge part of that!

Thank you Sam, you’re the best and I could not recommend you more!"

"I couldn't be happier with how I looked -
sam brought my vision to life"

"I couldn't be happier with the service Sam provided, she is worth every penny and more! Sam did bridal make up for me, my 3 bridesmaids and my mother and everyone was absolutely thrilled with how they looked and the care and attention to detail Sam provided. Sam's communication, attitude and talents went above and beyond my expectations, she stayed right up until the ceremony to make sure everything was perfect before I walked down. She even helped button up my dress, do my my shoes and put my veil in.

I couldn't be happier with how I looked, she brought my vision to life and one of the first things everyone complimented me on was my makeup and how well it stayed throughout the day and into the night! Sam is an absolute professional and anyone who books her is lucky to have her!"
