The best make up Artist in the Midlands
Rebecca is a wonderful person and skilled with her job her make up is flawless with me having problematic skin I was concerned it would be a problem. I needn't of worried her light coverage was more than enough covering any blemishes but light enough that my skin looked natural and could breath. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Nothing was too much trouble. Becky I wish you all the best for the future and thank you once again. All my love Nat xx

Best make-up artist ever!
I had my wedding in Dec 2019 and Rebecca did my make-up and 2 of my bridesmaids. I found Rebecca through Instagram and knew straight away that I wanted her to do my wedding make-up! From our initial communication she was very helpful with lots of information and I could tell already she was such a lovely person! She even sent me a little something in the post after booking, which was so touching! I've never had my make-up done professionally before and I usually stick to the same make-up brands, so I was a little nervous before the trial, but Rebecca put me at ease from the very beginning and we just chatted the whole time and I loved the result. Communication was good and there were a few things I wanted slightly differently for the day which Rebecca made notes on and this was all picked up on for the actual day. On the actual wedding day, the results were absolutely amazing and I had so many compliments, the make-up lasted all day as well, so much so that I left my eye make-up on until breakfast the next day and it still looked just as fresh! One of my bridesmaids was also very conscious about her skin coverage and Rebecca did such an amazing job, my bridesmaid called her a miracle worker! She honestly just felt like a friend on the morning and was with me until the very end, I can't thank you enough, you really are the best at your job, thank you so much!!

Best and easiest decision for my wedding was asking Rebecca to do my makeup!
Rebecca has done my makeup so many times over the years (photo shoots/ my prom/ 18th birthday/ sisters wedding), so when it came to my wedding there was no questions asked on who I wanted to do my makeup. Rebecca is incredibly professional, lovely to have around and also made me feel better than my best on my big day. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much Rebecca and I look forward to seeing you again in the future!!

Rebecca is the best out there!
Rebecca did my wedding day makeup in Oct 2019… And what can I say?! She is a pure genius!!  When I first got engaged, a few people advised that I book Rebecca asap, so I did (even before I fully booked the church haha!) Rebecca actually did my makeup at my sister's wedding the year before and on both occasions she did not disappoint.  So many guests at my wedding commented on my makeup - it didn't budge all day!! Rebecca is the sweetest lady who is an absolute joy to be around! On a very nerve racking day, Rebecca made me feel calm and truly truly beautiful!  My sister, mom and myself will definitely be booking Rebecca for future occasions! Xxx

Best Decision I Made for My Wedding!!
Rebecca did my wedding make up December 2019 and honestly I don't even know where to start! I'm very minimal with my everyday make up (just bb cream, blush and mascara really!) so I was quite nervous about having my make up done professionally in case I ended up not even looking like myself. I really didn't need to worry though - Rebecca and I had a great chat at my trial before she even started applying make up and with her extensive experience she had so much great advice and ideas. On the day Rebecca was just like having an extra friend there and the whole process was so just so relaxed and easy. Unfortunately I don't live locally but if I did I would 100% be going to Rebecca anytime I needed my make up doing - she's genuinely excellent at her job and a generally lovely person whose Instagram I now stalk routinely and secretly wish was my best friend haha..! Honestly though, book Rebecca for your wedding - there's enough other planning to do and this is one choice you definitely don't need to stress about.

Such a pro!
Booking my makeup artist for my wedding was one of the easiest decisions I made when planning my wedding. Rebecca's reviews and instagram had me completely sold, I was so excited! Rebecca and her make up totally lived up to and exceeded my expectations. My trial was so chilled - I was put totally at ease! Both my mum and I were so pleased with our make up and how flexible Rebecca was in tweaking bits for us so that we were 100% happy. On the morning of my wedding Rebecca was such a lovely calming person to have around, a real pleasure. She created 3 beautiful natural make up looks for my bridesmaids who all looked incredible and did the make up we loved from our trial for my mum and I. I would 100% recommend Rebecca to any brides to be - she is so lovely and a real pro. I honestly couldn't have been in safer hands or happier with my wedding make up!

Made My Day Even More Perfect!!
Rebecca is fabulous is every way! She made myself and my mum look absolutely amazing for my wedding day! From the moment I met her she made me feel so comfortable and was absolutely lovely and I felt like I had known her forever. She nailed exactly what I wanted for my make up in my trial after a brief explanation of the look I wanted which took place in her beautiful house! She was so lovely and professional and I literally couldn't of asked for anyone better to do my make up for my wedding day. She was a joy to have there on the morning of my wedding as she has a calm and positive presence which is what you need on the morning of your wedding. She let me know when she was on route to the venue via a travel app which I thought was such a good touch. She did everything I asked for and more and I had comments all day and evening on how fabulous my make up was. My day would not have been the same without her! Thank you so much! Xx

Simply the best!!
Rebecca - where do I begin explain how wonderful she is?! I had followed her work for some time and from the moment I contacted her she was so friendly and professional. Her booking process and pricings were very clear and straightforward and she answered any questions I had in a flash. I received a lovely surprise welcome package, which was thoughtful and shows her class. Meeting Rebecca for the first time at my trial was great fun and she put me at ease straight away. She took the time to discuss my likes and dislikes, look at different brands, concerns over my ache scarring and also my extreme worries that my face can turn from glam to drag in a few strokes of lip liner!! She took my thoughts (and extensive Pinterest board) into consideration and when she showed me the final look I was thrilled; she had got it right first go! WOW. I left feeling very happy and confident for the big day. Having Rebecca part of my wedding day was great, she accommodated my bridesmaids differing make up needs very well (having only met them on the day) She was great fun and also a calming influence to have around us all. My make-up looked flawless all day and night and I have the 3am selfie to prove it! She really is a wonderful lady and I can’t thank her enough for her part in making me feel so special on my wedding day! If you put your trust in her, you’ll not be disappointed.

Simply the best makeup artist
I booked Rebecca after locating Rebecca on the Wedding Industry Awards website and thank god I did, her work is absolutely amazing. Naturally I am a real worrier but I had no reason to be as Rebecca gave me great advice as to what would work well and filled me with so much confidence and reassurance to put me at complete ease to achieve my desired makeup look. From start to finish Rebecca was friendly, patient, professional and a perfectionist. Rebecca was everything I was looking for and needed for my special day. Nothing was ever too much trouble! All of my Bridal Party felt very comfortable in Rebecca’s presence which is a very important factor on your Wedding Day. Rebecca is absolutely amazing at what she does and such a wonderful, lovely and genuine person. Cannot thank you enough for making us all feel and look amazing on my Wedding Day and for being so helpful. It was such a perfect day and would not have been the same without you. If you are looking for a professional and highly experienced wedding makeup artist I can personally recommend Rebecca. Lots of Love Vicki xx

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

Take your time to carefully select your suppliers, it's not a process you want to rush and regret. Ensure you do your research and read their reviews!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Before the day of the trial, I encourage my clients to visualise how they'd like to look on their big day, suggesting to browse websites for inspiration such as Pinterest. I hope to stir up their excitement for the trial itself at which we can talk through ideas and preferences. At the trial I ask a lot of questions to gain a thorough understanding of my clients' needs and preferences, to gain an insight in to them as a person, and of course to hear all about the wedding details! I use the trial as my opportunity to build a rapport with my clients, and with my love of teaching makeup application I'll find myself naturally talking through the process as I'm going, offering advice where it's needed and explaining 'why' and 'how' I'm using certain products in certain ways to compliment them as an individual. Bridal party makeups will also be discussed to give me a clear idea of what the bride wants for her bridal party, ensuring a smooth running wedding morning. I let my clients know that if any tweaks need to be made to the look on first reveal that's absolutely fine, and reassure them that I will stay as long as necessary to ensure they're 100% happy with the final look. For this reason I do not allocate a set time for trials. Once the final look is decided upon, I take pictures and notes of exactly what products were used and how they were applied for my Wedding Day reference. A few days before the wedding I text my clients a little message to remind them of my arrival time at the venue. As per the trial, I also text when I am on my way on the Wedding Day itself to help my clients feel relaxed on what can sometimes be chaotic mornings! On arrival, I set up promptly and set to work on the previously worked out schedule. Once all makeups are finished I always wait until the bride is in her dress to touch up the makeups if needed to ensure the whole bridal party look immaculate right up until the last minute. As a makeup artist, my job can quite often involve helping put the brides shoes on, doing up the dress, putting in the veil, dressing the flower girl, putting on the brides jewellery, making them breakfast, pinning the mums' button holes, the list really is endless. I go over and above the job description for my clients, because I just LOVE everything about my job and the wedding morning process, I am an extra pair of hands for absolutely any job I may be needed for up until I leave. I'll always check to make sure my brides makeup looks immaculate in the photographers lens as those are the photos which are going to last her a lifetime.

What do you love most about your job?

Getting to meet such a variety of people and designing individual looks to suit their exact needs. It's hard not to love a job where you're surrounded by people of the happiest day of their lives!

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

OIL! Ladies, whether you're a dry, oily (yes, really!), or combination skin type, now is the time to introduce a cleansing oil in to your current routine. I promise you, you won't regret it.

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

Keep her laughing, and reassure her every step of the way.

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

A great makeup artist should ensure that minimal touch ups are required throughout the day, however for brides that may want to add a little extra drama to take their makeup from day to night, something as simple as adding a slick of liner to the waterline can work wonders...Or you can enquire about my Pro Touch Up Service :)
