Oh the lovely Donna. She is just an angel and made this troll look semi decent for my wedding. She has all the kit for ALL the looks and skin types. Myself, my bridesmaids and my mum and were all quite different, including very pale, non make up wearers and fake tanners and she nailed ALL of our looks. Totally put your faith into her. She knows her stuff. I also had a trial with her and she totally listened to all of my wants and made me feel so at ease!
Donna did my makeup for my wedding at the beginning of July and OH MY GOD! I have never looked or felt as amazing as I did in all my life. From the moment I met Donna at my trial I felt so at ease and she listened to absolutely everything that I wanted and the makeup was perfect. Everyone commented on how gorgeous my makeup was on my wedding day and as disgusting as it sounds it didn’t budge even the following morning 🤣 Donna is truly the best in the business!! Not only is she incredible at what she does she is honestly the kindest and most genuine person I’ve ever met and she definitely brought the best vibes on the wedding morning! I will not look anywhere else now for makeup!! 🤍 thank you for making me and the girls feel like princesses on the big day! You are fabulous!!
Anyone that knows me can tell you I’m not really a make up person and don’t know my foundations from my concealer lol – Donna was recommended to myself and from initial contact I felt instantly at ease. we booked in a trial and she gave me advice on how to prepare my skin in the weeks leading up to the big day and was so kind and reassuring. both myself and my bridesmaids felt and looked amazing and we can’t thank you enough our make up was flawless and lasted the whole day and night
Can’t recommend Donna more highly. Our bridal party’s makeup was perfection. As MOB, & five bridesmaid’s each individuals finish was beautiful & we all felt so special on what was such an amazing day. Our daughter was a stunningly radiant bride who shone gorgeously on her wedding day. Thank you
