TESTIMONIALS
"My dream as a Bride was to be a Princess but I've never worn makeup and wouldn't know a bronzer from a highlighter! At my trial, Gabby was super friendly, and managed to relax me. From my (most likely confusing) requests, she managed to create a look that was perfect for me! I felt comfortable being in makeup, but also felt like a Princess! On the day I had so many compliments! I was shocked that by the time my reception came around (at 7pm - my makeup was put on about 10am) - that my makeup was still perfect (even despite a few girly tears during the ceremony!) and I was still getting compliments! Gabby was happy dancing around my photographer (who was taking photos are she was princess-fying me) and listening to my George Ezra on repeat playlist (sorry!)! Her friendly persona calmed me down, even when a last minute panic (late bridesmaid!) was making me fret.
I honestly couldn't recommend her enough! You will be in safe hands with her - for both hair and makeup, she will listen to all your requests (even quirky ones like mine - I wanted bold blue eye makeup) and will be the smiliest person you'll ever meet.
Thank you for helping this punk-rock girl become a Princess on her special day !"

Last Saturday I had the most incredible wedding day, which was started perfectly with the help of Gabby!! From the moment she arrived at the house to get me and my 3 bridesmaids looking gorgeous, she was instantly part of the family. Gabby kept the morning so calm and organised, and made me feel very relaxed right up until I left! It definitely helped that shes a lovely bubbly character - and got very into the morning playlist at times too!
When I met her at my trial in July, she took all of my makeup concerns and opinions into account, and the end result was perfect for me! She is amazingly adaptable, and even though one of my bridesmaids was worried about her blemished skin, Gabby made her look incredible and feel so comfortable on the day. It’s also worth noting that it was 30 degrees on my wedding day, and my makeup stayed put surprisingly well!!
I could not have wished for a better makeup artist/honorary family member! Would highly recommend Gabby to anyone, and massive MASSIVE thank you again Gabby - you are amazing! Thank you for being a part of my day, and being so great! We all looked and felt beautiful
Gabby was amazing, She blew me away when I saw myself on my wedding day, I have confidence issues but she made me feel at ease and was so calming at the exciting nervous time before the wedding and even went the extra mile helping me get in my dress. Gabby is exceptionally talented and has great quality products to chose from. She pays attention and listens to what you want. She is prompt and friendly, the ultimate professional and I would recommend to any bride or groom.
