    Natural glowy makeup by lovely Julia

    I am so very glad Julia did my bridal makeup and for five of my bridesmaids. Since meeting at my makeup trial, Julia was wonderful to work with and listened to the ideas of what I wanted. She even gave me hints and tips for my skincare routine. We had a lovely wedding morning and Julia's professionalism and calmness definitely helped this. We all looked beautiful and literally the best versions of ourselves, so natural and glowy, and it lasted all day despite 30 degrees heat! I would definitely recommend Julia to my family and friends.

    Thank you so much Julia - I am so grateful. Love, Mrs Smith x

    Absolutely amazing makeup artist

    We got married 15/09/2022 and I was recommended to Julia by our photographers. I was looking for someone who did the natural look but ‘done’ look and she 100% gave me that.

    My make up was incredible. It stayed on the entire day and through lots of tears! My bridesmaid, mum and auntie all looked incredible. Julia is so lovely and works very closely with the bride in order to achieve the best results. Julia is so sweet and professional, she helped calm the nerves on the big day.

    Highly recommended. I wouldn't have my makeup done by anyone else.

  • Testimonials

    I can't praise Julia highly enough!! Right through from our trial right through to our big day she was a total star! Julia listened and delivered everything I wanted - I felt so confident going into the wedding. My mum is not used to having her makeup done and Julia listened to exactly what she wanted and made her feel so comfortable and confident.

    Julia was able to bring a very talented assistant to get everyone done in a timely manner on the wedding day. My look for the wedding was exactly what I wanted and lasted all day and night! Julia's work is BEAUTIFUL Julia is such a wonderful, calm energy to have around on the morning of such a big day. She is a joy to work with and I have already booked to use her again.

  • Testimonials

    As a model, Julia has done my makeup and hair for many commercial shoots. In her capable hands I felt at complete ease and when each beautiful makeup look was complete, I was glowing and confident to step in front of the camera! I would highly recommend Julia to anyone needing a professional hair and makeup artist.
