Perfect hair and makeup artist
Leigh did both my bridesmaid's and my hair and make up for my wedding and I was so happy with the outcome! She's so nice and friendly and more importantly, she listened to what I wanted at the trial and it couldn't have been more perfect on the day! Definitely would recommend her.

"Would highly recommend..."
"Leigh was amazing. She did my make up and my mum's for my wedding this Saturday and we felt amazing! She put us at ease and fitted right in with our bridal party, happy to help and fit round us. She listened to what we wanted and perfected our look. Would highly recommend and would definitely use Leigh's services again!"

"Leigh is amazing - 100% recommend"
"Leigh was absolutely amazing at my wedding day - she is not only incredibly talented and skilled at both hair and make-up, but also so kind and such a calming influence! She made me, my mum and bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful. This was my first time getting my hair and make-up done professionally, and she listened and understood what I wanted despite my complete lack of knowledge in the area, and her professionalism continued even when I did a complete u-turn on the look 2 weeks before the wedding. I cannot recommend her enough - thank you Leigh!"

"Amazing, amazing and amazing"
"Last Saturday was one the biggest days of my life and I really have to thank Leigh for how amazing my hair and make up looked on my wedding day! Leigh is amazing at what she does, listening to what I wanted and transforming my idea into real life. I wouldn’t have had the look I had in my head with out her. From start to finish Leigh was there whenever I needed to query something or ask for advice. On the morning of my wedding Leigh was part of the bridal tribe she has such a calming influence and such a lovely person to be around. Me, my bridesmaids, flower girl and mums all looked incredible! She didn’t stop there when we was all ready she ensured finishing touches were done and didn’t let us go until we were perfect! I can’t thank her enough and I would highly recommend you book in with Leigh for any event!!!! Leigh you are amazing and deserve the highest praise ♥️♥️♥️"

"I couldn't thank her more..."
"Wedding 13th September, bride plus 4 bridesmaids. Leigh was absolutely amazing, both on the trial day and the wedding Day. We had the trial day and spoke about what would suit me both makeup and hair, then went through options and decided on a final style which was exactly what I wanted. There was no problems with communications up to the big day. On the wedding day she arrived promptly, set up with an assistant who was brilliant as well. Leigh has the right amount of balance with being professional but relaxed at the same time. She spoke to all my bridal party and really made them feel comfortable. Not a bad word to say at all and only praise from everyone. The final look for both hair and makeup was beautiful. Honestly I would highly recommend her. The wedding morning can be stressful but she did a terrific job and I couldn’t thank her more. Very much recommend."

"Just... amazing"
"I have never had professional makeup before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, I found the process of picking a makeup artist quite tricky as I had no previous experience and I was looking for someone who would help advise me on what to have but no be too pushy with styles, looks etc. But I need not have worried because Leigh surpassed all my expectations. Not only is she a lovely person, but she’s also intuitive to what you want, she listens and she understands what you’re wanting even if you don’t quite know how to explain it! Everything from my bridal trial to my wedding day was a fantastic and enjoyable experience and something I was quite nervous about doing became a memory I’ll treasure forever. My bridesmaid was a regular to having her makeup professionally done and even she said that Leigh was brilliant. She made me both look and feel amazing and for that I’m forever grateful, I would 100% recommend choosing Leigh!"

"Leigh was just perfect for us..."
"Leigh was amazing getting all of the bridesmaid and the bride ready at my friends wedding. It took a while for us to find the artist and stylist and thank goodness we took our time because Leigh was just perfect for us 🌟 I’m always nervous for people to style my curly hair and Leigh did it perfectly whilst carefully listening to what all of the bridal party girls wanted. Leigh is also such a lovely and fun person and was really nice to be around 💕 Thank you for making us look amazing 😍"

"Perfect hair and make up for my perfect day"
"Leigh was friendly and helpful from the very first time I contacted her about doing my bridal hair and makeup, and gave me great advice before and during my trial. She was always punctual and did a fantastic job. My hair and makeup on my wedding day looked wonderful. I got so many great comments throughout the day and it was still looking fantastic at the end of the night. Leigh also helped me with the finishing touches of getting ready, putting me at total ease, and topped up my makeup before I left for the ceremony. I couldn’t have wished for better. Her prices are more than fair and she’s great company as well, which I think is really important. Thank you so much Leigh, can’t wait to see you again in April!"

FAQs

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Modern, bohemian, romantic, feature-enhancing, glowing.

What about your business are you most proud of?

After a pretty rubbish 2017, I decided to follow a new creative path and started a course in Makeup Artistry. Within a few months of absolutely loving it, I left my full time job to pursue a career as a Makeup Artist and I built my business from the ground up. I created my own website, developed a presence on social media, and filled a gap in the market in my local area. As of 2019, I relocated to a totally new area and I'm incredibly proud of how my small business has grown and continues to do so.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Allocate 'tasks' to your wedding planner/coordinator, or members of the wedding party/friends/family on the morning of your wedding. Things like handing out buttonholes or being the person to call for directions etc. The last thing you need is to be answering phone calls, liaising with suppliers, and dealing with Uncle Bob 'cause he can't find your Auntie Margaret.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Skin care! Keep your skin hydrated and moisturised. If you don't already have one, I would highly recommend getting into a good skin care routine during the lead up to your wedding.

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

You'll see from my reviews that most of my brides comment on my "calming influence". I simply blend in as part of your bridal party. If there's stress rising, I'll diffuse it - positive vibes only. From experience, I find that it's usually the Mum's and the Bridesmaids that like to have a freak out moment rather than the bride!

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?

Your makeup is applied to stay looking great throughout your special day, but here are a couple of helpful tips: 1. If you shed a tear (or twenty), blot under your eyes with a tissue rather than rubbing. 2. Ask one or all of your bridesmaids to be on 'lipstick check' duty throughout the day - they'll let you know if it needs a top up. 3. If you're prone to an oily t-zone, have some blotting paper or loose powder on hand in case you need to freshen up those areas later in the day.
