Testimonials
"I'm really going to find it difficult to put into words how grateful I am to Tina for making my Wedding day so special. I have never been more thankful to "google" for putting me in touch with her! My hair and makeup was so gorgeous I felt like a princess and couldn't stop looking at myself all day. The guests commented that the bridesmaids looked like Grecian goddesses. Tina was such a great combination of professional, relaxed and fun, she completely put me at ease at a stressful time. By the end of the morning it felt like she was another bridesmaid and I was quite sad she wasn't coming along to the wedding! Book Tina and you won't regret it. Thank you!"

I would certainly be recommending you to my friends and family."

'I was very fortunate in finding Tina from the internet. I contacted her at the nth hour which was basically the day of my cousin's wedding. Her friendliness and enthusiasm were obvious from the time she texted me to say that she would come over and do my party make up.

"I can't recommend Tina highly enough. Not only did she make me, my mum and my bridesmaids feel beautiful on
my wedding day, but her friendly, professional and unflappable approach helped us to feel really relaxed too.
I had a winter wedding and I wanted to feel very glamorous, rather than go for the typical natural bridal look. At my pre-wedding trial, Tina really took the time to understand what kind of effect I wanted and then gave me advice on what she could do to emphasis my best features. She suggested a couple of options and encouraged me to try false eyelashes to give a super glam effect and to bring out my small, deep-set eyes. The effect was incredible and I felt gorgeous. Although it felt like Tina used a lot of makeup to acheive the right look and ensure it would last all day, it didn't look like I was wearing much at all. I just looked polished and my eyes looked incredible. At the end of the
night, my makeup still looked amazing and I really didn't want to take it off!"
- Nicola Eady - Bride
"Tina arrived on time with a smile on her face and from this I knew she was going to do a good job. She was extremely friendly and easy to talk to and every single person at the wedding I went to said I looked great! Originally we were

looked fabulous. I would have no hesitation recommending her for any big event. Thank you very much Tina".
- Linda Mills - Bride
"Tina was absolutely brilliant, myself and my two sisters hired Tina to help us look extra special for my sisters big leaving party and she certainly did that. I had never had my make up done by a professional before and i can honestly say she was amazing!

I definately recommend Tina if you want to look and feel extra special for a certain occassion because she certainly did that for us, thank you so much Tina!"
