Testimonials

Charlee was simply amazing and the makeup she did for my bridal party was stunning. Everyone was really happy and Charlee was an absolute pleasure to have around. - Jo July '23

 

5***** 100% recommend Charlee, she had the job of doing my wedding make up, although already knowing Charlee since school and following her make up journey over the years and watching her business grow , there was only ever one gal I wanted doing my make up for my wedding and WOW she didn't disappoint, felt so comfortable and relaxed just what was needed on the morning of the wedding. So grateful for your amazing work, thank you again - Tanya July '23

Charlee did mine, my bridesmaids, my Mum and my mother in laws make up for my wedding day in June. We had an early ceremony at noon so Charlee had lots of us to get through but still managed to make us all feel relaxed and not needing to rush! Everyone's make up looked amazing, I wanted a natural but more glam than usual look and she nailed it.We also had a ceilidh at our wedding and after a lot of energetic dancing in the sunshine I went to the toilet expecting to have a very red face with my make up melted off long ago - I couldn't believe my eyes when I still had a perfect face of make up, Charlee is a magician I would highly recommend to anyone! - Charlotte June '23

 

Charlee was absolutely amazing as my bridal MUA! I was so happy with the makeup and my whole bridal party absolutely loved her. She is so friendly, upbeat and such great energy to have on the morning of the wedding. Could not recommend Charlee enough! - Hannah June '23

Charlee did my make up for me & 7 other bridesmaids for our friends wedding at Sopley Mill… It was beyond perfect & lasted all day & all night the Brides make up was also amazing! Highly recommend Charlee xx - Kelly April '23

 

I am so grateful that I found Charlee. She was so wonderful from the trial to the big day and even travelled so far out her way to meet us for the trial. It was like we’d know her for years and it felt as though she was just part of the party! I was so pleased with the results. I don’t wear a lot of make up day to day and felt so comfortable (and bridal) all day! It came out so well in photos too. I would highly recommend Charlee to anyone! Thank you so much for being part of our day.Xxx - Natalie November '22

After me having a disaster makeup trial with someone else I am so glad I came upon Charlee! She made me feel beautiful from start to finish and she fitted in really well with all us girls on the wedding morning. She honestly did the most incredible job with my makeup which everybody complimented on! She did my mums makeup in which she adored also! I will never stop recommending this Angel - Kirsty September '22

I  met Charlee at a wedding show & she was so friendly & genuine, she was then recommended to me by another supplier. All correspondence with Charlee has been very responsive & professional - She really cares about what you want for your day, she took inspiration from pictures I had liked but made it more me! Myself & my mum went to Charlee for our trial at her home on the day of my hen night  - The studio is so pretty! Charlee immediately put us at ease, my mum is rather fussy (bless her!) but she was so happy with what Charlee did. Charlee really took an interest in our usual skin & make up habits. It didn’t feel heavy on my face & I was so happy with the results. Due to covid 19 & having to postpone Charlee is unavailable to do my new date and I’m absolutely gutted. She has been nothing short of amazing with it all, so understanding & bloody brilliant - You would be lucky to have her as your MUA for your big day! -Sabrina March '20

Don't even look anywhere else; you have found the most amazing make-up artist. Charlee is not only amazing at what she does, she is also such a wonderful person!

'Charlee did my bridal makeup and my bridal party of 7 last weekend for my wedding. I cannot say a bad word about Charlee she is amazing! Her skills are second to none and I can honestly say that all 8 of us felt incredible and couldn’t have been happier with our makeup. I am lucky to call Charlee a friend and she made my day by staying until after the ceremony and even comforting me when I had a mini meltdown as brides always do! 

If you’re considering booking Charlee I wouldn’t hesitate at all, if her pictures don’t put you at ease she will when you meet her. 
So much love for you Charlee, thank you so much again for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day' - Lauren March '19

Every point of contact I had with Charlee during the lead up was easy, no fuss and always came with a prompt reply. We will remember her fondly.' - Amy, February '19

'I wish i could explain how much I would recommend Charlee - She did my make up for my wedding in October and wow. Given what i gave her to work with just wow i looked like the best version of myself i have ever been, which is just what you want on your wedding day. 

Not only did Charlee do a great job, but the time and consideration that she put into the trial and the big day made all the difference.  She went to the trouble of changing the look created on my trial so my husband to be would be surprised on the day, went out and found a new product with more staying power so i got the look i wanted all day and night.

Charlee stayed calm, focused even when other things were going wrong the morning of the big day and having her there really added to my wedding day. 100% recommend to anyone and everyone!' - Melissa, October '18

My make up was honestly the best it's ever looked and my bridesmaids were also very happy with theirs. It lasted all day and still looked good at the end of the night. Even though Charlee had finished doing our make up by about 10am she insisted on staying and celebrating with us till my dad and my wedding car arrived at 11am to ensure that if I ended up crying she could touch up my make up for me. Charlee, I can't thank you enough! You really added to the amazing wedding morning that I had with all the girls and I'm glad I chose you to do my make up x' Hayley, Bride July'17

'Charlee did my wedding make up and it was just how I wanted it! She is a very sweet and friendly artist who makes you feel calm and also at ease so that you can tell her if you would like something different. I was very worried that I wouldn't look like me if I had somebody else do my make up but she listened to what I wanted and made any changes to areas I wasn't so sure about. Highly recommend this lovely lady. Thank you Charlee!' Jennifer, Bride May'17
