Happy Clients

Reviews and experiences from past clients of mine.  I hope to see you here soon too.

I had a one to one make up lesson with Stephanie and I can't recommend one highly enough! She was so generous with her time and incredibly patient! It was great to use all my own makeup and brushes and only needed to purchase a couple of products to complement what I already had. All my needs and concerns were listened to and addressed and she very kindly sent on very comprehensive notes to reference back to which is super helpful! Thanks again! Steph

I had a makeup lesson with Stephanie in February and it was genuinely one of the best things I've done for myself in a while. From the very first contact right through to after the session, she really listened — I never felt like I was just another booking.I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive going in. I personally find the world of makeup overwhelming — there's so much information out there and so much of it contradicts itself. I've always found makeup counters tricky because you're never quite sure whether the advice you're getting is genuinely for you or just aimed at getting you to buy something. Stephanie was completely different. She met me where I was, worked with what I already had, and gave me practical, personalised guidance that I actually understood and could use.My biggest worry beforehand was that I'd walk away inspired in the moment but then struggle to apply any of it in my daily routine — that's happened to me before with things like this. That didn't happen here. The follow-up tip sheet she sent after the session was a lovely touch and means I have something to refer back to. I've already started putting her tips into practice.This felt like a real investment in myself and I'd wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone who's felt overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or just wants honest, tailored advice from someone who clearly loves what she does
Mel G.
Stephanie was amazing from start to finish. The makeup trial was great and really put me at ease. On the morning of the wedding everything felt calm and relaxed. Stephanie was so flexible and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. I was absolutely delighted with my makeup, and everyone else was so happy with theirs too. Couldn’t recommend Stephanie highly enough!
Rachel B.
I absolutely loved Steph! She was so incredibly talented, kind and flexible. I live in the United States and blindly booking vendors was a bit unnerving. I couldn't have asked for a better make up artist! She did both my engagement photos and my wedding photos and she did such an amazing job!! Cannot recommend her enough.
Carolina S.
Stephanie was absolutely wonderful. Very talented and she listened to what each person wanted and worked with us to create the desired finished product. Everybody looked stunning 🙂 I would highly recommend her.
Rebecca C.
As someone who never wears makeup I was very apprehensive booking makeup for my wedding, but to say Steph was an absolute dream is an understatement. She understood my apprehension towards makeup during the trial and put me completely at ease. I left my trial feeling INCREDIBLE and couldn’t wait to have her work her magic again for my wedding.Then on the wedding day, she was absolutely amazing. Bringing lots of calm yet fun energy to the morning, and of course her amazing talent. She did makeup for myself, MOB, MOG and three bridesmaids and all of us were pure delighted.An absolute testament to her was my friends saying how I still looked like me, but an elevated version which was exactly what I wanted. And even more so the makeup lasted all day on one of the hottest days of the year and a huge amount of dancing!
Aoife O.
Stephanie did my makeup on 31.10.25. I absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend her. She's so talented, highly professional and put me at ease on the day. The makeup really made me feel so beautiful on the day.Thanks so much Stephanie x
Niamh M.
I was so delighted with my makeup on my wedding day! Stephanie is so professional and amazing at what she does. She made myself and my bridal party feel so relaxed throughout the morning. Stephanie is brilliant at what she does and will make you feel a million dollars on your wedding day. I would highly recommend Stephanie!
Sara G.
From the moment I booked Stephanie I knew I was in safe hands. Steph was so lovely to deal with and very patient with me and my never ending questions. She was a breath of fresh air the morning of the wedding and put everyone at ease which I am forever grateful for. As someone who never wears fake tan I was very nervous with that decision on the day but Steph put me at ease and made sure that I felt beautiful while still looking like "me".As a bonus, my wedding just happened to be one of the warmest days of the year and my makeup held wonderfully in all the photos and I did minimal touch-ups.An absolute pleasure and would love to have another reason to book her in future!
G & C A.
Stephanie is brilliant! If she’s free, don’t think twice, book her! She listened to what we wanted and delivered with a professional, stress free vibe with great comms and she’s just so lovely - high recommend Stephanie.
Gill & J.
Bridal make up is such a big deal, I had no idea where to start or what to ask and yet from the start Steph was kind a reassuring. As someone that doesn’t wear a lot of make up I was worried that it would all look to heavy on me, however we discussed different styles and tones and on the day I think she absolutely smashed it - I didn’t have a trial as I live in England. I would absolutely recommend Steph to any future bride. She was patient (as you can see from one of the photos the children were excitable that morning). She kept me calm and made me feel glamorous without the make up being over the top. My bridesmaids and mum also looked amazing. Love love love the work she does.
Rachel T.
Stephanie was truly incredible! She did my makeup for my wedding, as well as the makeup for my mother, mother-in-law, and two sisters. We all couldn’t have been happier with the results. Not only is she an exceptionally talented makeup artist, but she’s also one of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. From the moment she arrived, she put us at ease with her warm, cheerful disposition. Everyone loved working with her—she made us all look and feel our very best. Stephanie brought such a positive energy to the day, and it was an absolute joy having her as part of it. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a top-notch makeup artist who will make your special day even more magical. Thank you, Steph!
Francesca R.
I had the pleasure of having Steph do my makeup for my wedding day in October, and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience.Steph was amazing from start to finish — so professional, calming, and upbeat. At my makeup trial, I knew straight away she was the right choice. She listened so well and was so thoughtful that on the morning of the wedding she even remembered the little details we had talked about. She brought such a lovely vibe on the morning — it was wonderful to have chats and laughs with her, which really helped calm my nerves.Steph did mine and my three bridesmaids’ makeup in great time, and we were all so happy with the results. The makeup lasted all day and looked beautiful in the photos. I had so many compliments!I’d highly recommend Steph to any bride-to-be — she’s absolutely fantastic.
Caroline D.
I went to Steph for a Make up lesson. From the get go, the whole process from booking the lesson to preparation in advance of the lesson was so professional and encouragingHer approach is very personal and open and her knowledge of make up, skin care and preparation is fantastic - you learn so much during the lesson, and have an opportunity to practice on yourself under Steph's watchful eye!I definitely feel way more confident doing my make up and have introduced new, fresher products to my aging range which I really wanted to do.The detailed documents you receive after your lesson are so professional and helpful and arrived promptly after the lesson.I can honestly say it was the best money I have spent on myself in a long time and am so glad I booked the sessionThank you Steph.
Nolene M.
I had an excellent experience with Steph, I loved that she used the products that I had in my make up bag and showed me how to use them properly, great tips for applying foundation and eyeshadow, getting great coverage of my blemishes and red areas on my face. I loved that my finished look was very natural, I looked like myself. Also, her recommendations of products to purchase was very helpful- it’s great that my make up bag is marginally lighter with only products that I will be using in it.
martina G.
I've always wanted to have a make up lesson and after Steph doing my make up for my wedding in 2016 and seeing the amazing work she continues to do, I knew I wanted to do a lesson with her.Her approach is open and flexible and her knowledge of make up and skin care and prep is fantastic - you really learn as you go and I definitely feel way more confident doing evening and event make up.The whole process for booking, prep in advance of the lesson and the detailed document you receive after your lesson are so professional.Would 100% recommend!
Emma R.
I recently had a one-on-one makeup lesson with Stephanie, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't just about makeup; she taught me so much more, including a skincare regimen. In just 10 minutes, she showed me how to achieve glowing skin, and I've genuinely been receiving compliments on my skin ever since the lesson.As someone who prefers a natural makeup look, I was thrilled that Stephanie perfectly captured that style while also providing tips and tricks for a longer-lasting finish. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone take a lesson with Stephanie; it was the best two hours I've spent, and I've learned that I don’t need everything in my makeup bag!
Fiona O' R.
Working with Stephanie for my wedding in February 2025 was a wonderful experience. She created timeless, personalized, makeup looks for myself, my mother, and four bridesmaids. She brings a lovely, calming, energy to the day and was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the process. I have always been sensitive about how my skin appears in photos, but Stephanie was able to effectively cover my blemishes while maintaining a natural look. I felt incredibly confident with the look she created during our trial, which really eased my mind on the actual day! I highly recommend booking her for weddings, engagement photos, and any other makeup needs!
Stephanie Uí B.
Highly recommend Stephanie if you’re looking to improve your make up skills & confidence! Really enjoyed the lesson and all the tips I came out with. Stephanie focused on the make up I already had so I didn’t need to go spending more on new make up which was great!
olivia C.
Stephanie did my wedding make-up in November 2024, along with my two sisters and mam. We were all delighted with our make-up. Stephanie was professional, relaxed, organised, gentle, friendly, at ease and overall made our morning very pleasant and fuss free. She is super easy to deal with in the run-up to a wedding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stephanie for anybody’s wedding or special occasion. She was a great find 🙂
Sarah-Jo S.
I 100% recommend Stephanie’s 1:1 makeup lesson. The lesson completely changed the way I do my makeup, making me feel so much more confident! I had always felt totally clueless and never had much of a routine until now. Stephanie is so lovely and her advice was really tailored to what I asked to work on. If you’re thinking about booking with her, definitely do it!
Elizabeth N.
I booked Steph for my wedding in October 2024 and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I made. I booked a trial about 6 weeks before and knew straight away that I'd made the right choice. Steph really helped me to articulate what I wanted, a soft glam look that made me feel like glam version of myself.On the day Steph was an absolute diamond to have around, she had such a lovely calming and positive influence on the morning and made sure things ran smoothly, staying until I was leaving to ensure everything was ok. I was absolutely delighted with my makeup, she honestly couldn't have done a better job and it lasted all night. All of my bridesmaids and family were raving about how lovely she was and how great they felt with their makeup too!!I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!!Steph, thank you so much for everything, you are amazing!!
Ciara G.
Stefanie Burgess is a true professional. She understands your skin and skin care before adding any make up. She really listens and the make up was gorgeous. It looked really “glowey” thank you so much.
Rachel D.
As a busy mama with limited makeup skills, I was looking for a makeup lesson to help me master an easy and natural look. Steph was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so patient and encouraging. She broke everything down into simple steps, and by the end of the lesson, I felt confident to recreate the look on my own.Her tips and tricks were absolute game-changers, and she tailored the session to suit my lifestyle, I came away feeling more polished and put-together.I cannot recommend Steph enough! Thank you for helping me feel like the best version of myself!
Sammy H.
Such a calm person to have around on your wedding morning.Mine and my bridesmaids makeup was gorgeous. It was very natural.I would recommend Stephanie to anyone and was glad she was recommended to me by a previous bride.
rachel R.
I am so grateful to Stephanie you for the exceptional work she did on our wedding day. Make up being one of the big part of a bride's experience on her big day, i am so glad i found Stephanie for mine. From the the first interaction she was fantastic. she very responsive and answered all my questions. On the day of trial Stephanie tried all the ideas i presented until i was contented to select the final look. On they day of the wedding Stephanie was friendly and warm making me and my bridesmaids relaxed a calm. We were all ready on time and looking stunning. The final look was beyond my expectation. We felt amazing throughout the day. I changed three outfits and the makeup complemented all of them. Our guests were absolutely blown away. You are absolutely best in what you do. Thank you so much for making me feel like a princess on my big day.A huge hug🤗🤗🤗 and lots of thanks, Cherry
Mansura Afifa K.
I had a 1:1 makeup lesson with Stephanie and found it really enjoyable and super helpful. I love her approach of starting with what you already have - very sustainable, less daunting and very cost effective too! She gave me some brilliant tips on simple techniques that I'm confident I'll be able to master myself (with a bit of practice!). Stephanie also sent me on really detailed notes which will be very helpful as she covered a lot in the 2 hours. I wish I had done this years ago! Highly recommend a 1:1 lesson! Enjoy!
Paula B.
I couldn't recommend Stephanie more for bridal make-up. She looked after me, my Mum and 2 bridesmaids in May 2024. You can tell she really enjoys her work and takes great pride in creating a bridal look. She is unbelievably professional. I wouldn't get my make-up done regularly, but she put me at ease right from the get-go; making all necessary adjustments from the trial. I loved my make-up on the day and it lasted so well (even in intense sun!). So if you're looking for natural and tailored make-up - Stephanie is your girl! My bridesmaid's and Mum all loved their look too.
Niamh C.
Steph is truly an incredible talent- I was so lucky to have her do my make-up as bridesmaid for my sister’s wedding. She did a wonderful job and got the brief perfectly and made me feel so relaxed. She created a lovely natural look which lasted well into the wee hours. Hoping to get some lessons soon. Truly brilliant!
Eimear F.
Stephanie looked after myself and my girls in June this year. I had met her previously as a bridesmaid for my friends wedding. She's absolutely amazing; my make up was flawless for the whole day. I couldn't recommend her more. If you are looking for a glowy look, Stephanie is your woman! Also loved chatting away to her on the morning of the wedding! She's such a gem!
K H
I booked Steph for my wedding in October this year for a natural glam look for myself and 5 bridesmaids. From looking at Steph’s portfolio, I knew she would help me look my best without heavy makeup. I booked a bridal trial and was delighted with Steph’s work. On the wedding day, she arrived bright and early to give everyone enough time to get ready & have time for last minute touches without feeling rushed. Everyone’s makeup suited them so well and lasted throughout the evening. Thank you for everything!
Sarah Q.
Highly recommend a 1:1 makeup lesson with the lovely Steph. She has such a warm personality and immediately put me at ease. Loved her practical approach of working with the products that I already had in my makeup bag without creating a need to buy a large list of products! I left feeling far more confident in applying my makeup. This would be such a lovely gift to you or loved ones. Thanks Steph!
Fiona O.
Stephanie was amazing, my makeup was so natural, I didn’t have that caked look that can highlight deep lines! When I started to take my makeup off at 2am it still looked as good as it did at 11am that morning. I highly recommend Stephanie, so lovely to chat to and gives you a wonderful experience.
Siobhan M.
I can't speak highly enough of Steph's artistry and professionalism. She looked after me every step of the way during the wedding build up, understood exactly what we were looking for, and made my whole family feel so comfortable. We were all delighted with the finished looks. I would recommend Steph to anyone who wants to look and feel their best, but also, like themselves, on their wedding day. Thanks a million, Steph!
Hannah L.
Stephanie came to my house to do make up for myself my mother and my sister on the morning of my brother's wedding. From the first contact with Stephanie she was very professional and when we met on the day she was also friendly and reassuring, setting herself up with no fuss and putting us all at ease on a busy morning.The three of us span 3 decades with different styles and experience with make up but we were all delighted with our make up by Stephanie which lasted beautifully for the whole day. She listened to our preferences and gave a lovely 'natural' (but so much improved 😉) look.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stephanie for make up for an occasion or indeed for lessons as she was so knowledgeable and practical too.
Sarah G.
Booked Stephanie for our wedding in September! Couldn’t recommend anyone better! The customer service was amazing never mind your skills as a makeup artist. Loved my makeup on the day. Didn’t even feel like I was wearing any. Bridesmaids and MOB loved their makeup also.
Laura S.
I wanted to extend a huge thank you for the amazing work you did for my bridal party! Your talent and professionalism truly made our day extra special. Everyone looked stunning, and your calming presence made the morning so enjoyable.
Ciara M.
I highly recommend Stephanie! I recently had a one-on-one makeup session with her, where she simplified all the steps of application and tailored them to the look I wanted to recreate at home. She also made helpful recommendations on products and gave very useful tips for makeup.
Kathleen G.
August 2024, Stephanie was our makeup artist for my wedding at Martinstown House and words cannot describe how incredible she was. Not only is she talented but also very kind, bubbly and loved having the chats with her. I would highly recommend Stephanie to any bride and bridal party as she works extremely well with different looks and skin tones. Beautiful work and overall a lovely person to have on my wedding morning.
Eva
Stephanie was my make up artist for my wedding back in October 2023 in Druids Glen. From the minute I met Stephanie I know she was like minded and what I really appreciated was that she listened to what I wanted for my wedding and she put me at ease about the whole process. I also went to Stephanie for my eyebrows and eyelashes prior to the wedding which were then amazing for the wedding! On the day itself Stephanie is super organised especially as she had to do my make up along with my bridesmaid and my mum. She worked super efficiently with my hairdresser too and they worked so well together (and the only met that morning). I absolutely ordered my make up it was the natural look that I wanted that lasted all day!!! Stephanie made us all feel at ease the morning of the wedding and helped with my brothers button hole flower too and also advising which side he needed to be to give me away!! Thank you so much Stephanie you are an amazing make up artist I feel very privileged that you did my wedding day make up. I would not hesitate in recommending Stephanie for your wedding day!!
Sarah G.
Stephanie is amazing at her job and truly passionate about make up! Unfortunately i missed my trial make up session due to my own reasons and Stephanie accomodated me over the phone and email to see what looks/make up styles I liked. On the day Stephanie truly is a make up God as my make up was natural, stayed on all day and night of the wedding and also for my mam and sister! We never looked as good❤️ Cannot recommend Stephanie enough for any occasion!
Anne H.
Steph did makeup for me and my bridesmaid in September 23. She was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish! Always quick to answer an email and a very straightforward booking. Steph really listened to what I was looking for and both me and my bridesmaid were super happy with our makeup on the day!
Karen P.
Steph did my make up along with my MoH, Bridesmaid, Mum and Mum in Law on my wedding day at Martinstown House. Steph did an amazing job, I asked for more of a natural look and she delivered that and so much more. I got so many compliments by all my guests on how natural yet bridal my make up looked. Steph was just not my MUA but she was so much fun on the morning of the Wedding. She made sure I was okay, relaxed and happy all around. Full of smiles and positive energy. We all enjoyed our morning getting ready and it was made so easy. I couldn't recommend her enough!!!
Eden E.
Thank you so much for the lesson this morning. I enjoyed discussing the techniques and tips with you and then trying out myself. You made everything very clear and your teaching method was relaxed so I had confidence to go for it!I am delighted with the results and really liked the final look.I met a friend for lunch and she said that I looked great- before I told her about the lesson!!The makeup is still in place even after sitting in the sun for a while.The best part of it all was that the lesson was personalised and I still am surprised at the results when we only used my own makeup. Thanks for the fantastic experience Stephanie!
Geraldine L.
Stephanie has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to make up and, luckily for me, I got to experience it in a one on one make up lesson using my own products and brushes. I learned so much from her, great tips and tricks to utilise what I already own and to update my look. It helped that I got lots of compliments on how well I looked also!! Stephanie is so easy to work with and has a lovely quiet energy. I would highly recommend using her.
Joan S
What can I say about Steph!?4 of us were travelling from Scotland to Ireland for a wedding that day in a rural venue. We didn't know where we could meet her but she was really understanding throughout our confused and vague messages. She helped us agree on a location, and then when our flight was delayed and we ran out of time she was flexible and able to change the location. We really appreciated her flexibility and good communication on the day when we were having a flap.When we finally arrived she instantly calmed us down and worked a miracle getting 4 of us ready in 3 hours while we faffed with our hair and outfits.We looked amazing, especially since we had all been up at 4am, and were suitably relaxed after a few hours of her easy chat.Thanks, Steph!
Hollie W.
Our flight to Dublin was delayed so the original time we were meant to meet steph wasn't going to work but steph messaged us back quickly and could get us done later. Steph travelled free of charge to our venue and we all looked fab. Great make up artist. Would recommend
Kerrie M.
I had such fun and relaxed mornings with Stephanie getting ready for both my hen party and my wedding. She listened to what I wanted and worked her magic and the results were even better than I expected. I would recommend Stephanie to any future bride or for a bit of glam for any event!
Olivia M.
Stephanie is fantastic. She did the wedding makeup for myself, mother and sister and we were all singing her praises and the makeup lasted the entire day which was brilliant. Later, I organised a makeup lesson with her because I wanted to learn how to do makeup for the office that would last the entire day plus commute. I was blown away by this lesson. She focused on what I wanted to learn and pinpointed a lot of improvements for me. We used my own makeup and she only recommended a few products that would help fill in the gap as opposed to trying to sell me loads of unnecessary products. The lesson was super interactive and the way she explained her techniques was really intuitive. Best of all, she shared an pdf covering everything we did in the lesson so I wasn't worried about forgetting anything in the action packed lesson. I can't recommend Stephanie enough and will probably send any friends and family her way if they want their makeup done or if they want to improve their own skills. 10/10
Bríd O.
Stephanie is amazing at what she does and I would highly recommend her to any bride or bridal party! Stephanie was so kind and calm on the wedding morning and made everyone feel great. We all loved our make up and it stayed put right until we went to bed that night!
Sparking S.
Steph did my wedding makeup and it was perfect! I rarely use makeup and this was only my second time having makeup done by a makeup artist. I really don't like very obvious and over-the-top makeup, so when I heard that Steph is the queen of natural bridal makeup, I knew I had found the right makeup artist and she didn't disappoint! Steph also did the makeup of my bridal party of five girls and they were all amazed with the result. Apart from the beautiful makeup, Steph was also a pleasure to work with and added to the lovely atmosphere on my wedding morning. I can only give Steph my warmest recommendations and if I ever need a makeup artist in Ireland again I know who to contact! Thanks Steph! x
Cecilie Bech C.
Went for a make up trail today with Steph, she put me at ease the minute I stepped in the door. She was so patient and professional and really listened to what I wanted from the look. I cant wait until my wedding day now knowing she will be looking after myself and my bridal party makes me so relaxed and knowing we are in amazing hands. I'll update my review with pics after the wedding day ❤️
Amy G
I booked a 1:1 make up lesson with Stephanie - absolutely fantastic experience and I should have done it years ago! If you’re even considering it, just reach out to her and get the ball rolling. Stephanie is just so good at what she does, and has such a skill in teaching, demonstrating and imparting capability and confidence to her clients. We used most of what was in my make up bag already, and she suggested a few key items to add. Thanks again Steph!
Niamh H.
Steph was amazing, I couldn't be happier with my bridal make up, at the trial she helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and really delivered. Not only was the make up perfect and lasting the night but she had this calming approach, that made me feel so relaxed and settled before walking down the ailse. I couldn't recommend her enough.
lauren K.
Stephanie was absolutely amazing! I was an American bride getting married in Ireland, so she was incredibly flexible and supportive about doing my trial a week before my wedding when I arrived in the country. She was SO easy to work with, executed my desired look perfectly, and helped make my wedding day operate with so much ease. She is a top notch vendor, a rockstar in her field, and an amazing personality to work with! I truly felt my most beautiful and confident, thanks to Stephanie.
Mackinzie M.
Stephanie is amazing! I can’t recommend her enough for any bride or bridal party. My wedding was on the hottest day of the year (28’c!) and my makeup did not budge, it was perfect until after our first dance. She gave the exact natural glowy glam that I imagined for my wedding. She was also so kind to help my mom who was struggling with the heat and gave her blotting papers for the day. Steph was also so fun and great vibes for the morning of the wedding - a total star
Soracha W.
Couldn’t recommend Steph enough! She did my bridesmaid make up for my sisters wedding which was absolutely flawless and stayed for the entire day
Sophie O.
This is the third time I have had Steph do my makeup, two times as a bridesmaid, and finally as a bride. She is just aMagician. 10/10 recommend, she is so so good at what she does!!
Mel O.
I booked a 1:1 make up lesson with Stephanie . It was the best decision, she is a brilliant teacher, explains everything so well and very patient if you want to to try yourself after watching her . I left feeling fabulous with my fresh face of make up but also fabulous in the knowing of how to apply my make up correctly and achieve the smokey winged eye I always wanted. I also learned new tips and how to multi use some of my own products ..win win. Not only do you have the pleasure of the lesson from Steph you recieve a personal indepth email of yr lesson which you can recap on . Book Steph , you wont regret it .
Dorothy F.
Many thanks to Steph for looking after my makeup on my wedding day! The make-up trial a few weeks before was a very enjoyable experience. She was super organised when she came to the hotel on the morning of the wedding. Once she was set up & working on my makeup there was just a lovely atmosphere, just focussed on being relaxed and having chats - minimum stress - even as the photographer was working around us.We went outside for photos before the ceremony & she was on hand for final touchups.
Maureen B.
I attended Stephs workshop and found it really interesting to learn loads of tips and ideas for skin care and make-up. I loved especially that she’s giving tips for a natural look.
Ilona
Stephanie is a fantastic makeup artist, really knows her stuff and I learned so much from her about how to do my own makeup. Would highly recommend her services.
Eimer L.
I attended one of Steph's group demonstration classes and really enjoyed it. Steph is very engaging and provided lots of top tips! I still hear her voice in my head when I'm applying my make up in the morning! Highly recommend!
Orla W.
I decided that I needed a make up refresh so booked a lesson with Stephanie. Best thing I have done in a long time. Stephanie is so knowledgeable and she is a great teacher. I came away with so many new techniques and tips. Her passion for make up, skincare and making you feel fantastic was such a treat.We mostly used my own products, so I was able to learn how to make the most of what I already had. On Stephanie’s recommendation after the lesson I added a few new products to my make up bag. How did I not know about the miracle that is setting spray, or eye shadow primer? Both made a huge difference to the look so I ran straight to the shops after the lesson.I learned how to make the most of my eye make up to open up my eye and make the green pop, to line a happy lip and not a sad lip, to apply my concealer and contour properly, and how to ensure that my make up lasts and still looks fresh. We had great chats about current trends and favourite products so time flew. I was having so much fun and could have talked all night.I got so much out of the lesson, way more than previous lessons that I have had. I can’t wait to go out for a good night and put my new skills to the test.I left Stephanie’s studio looking amazing and spent the rest of the evening admiring myself in the mirror. I would highly recommend a lesson with Stephanie. It was so much fun, so informative, and money well spent.Suzanne from Drumcondra
Suzanne M.
Stephanie did an amazing job providing makeup for my wedding in October 2023. She made me and my sisters look so fabulous and feel so confident. She was both professional and friendly and helped ensure that my pre-wedding prep time was chilled and relaxed. I felt great and didn't have to worry about my makeup at all. It lasted all through the day, and even survived some energetic moves on the dance floor! So a big thank you to Stephanie for her beautiful work.
Sarah O.
Steph was the most amazing makeup artist to have on our wedding day. She is the nicest person to have around on the morning and kept us all calm. All of our makeup lasted all day and night without any issues. I would highly recommend her to everyone!

Stephanie is AMAZING!I had the pleasure of a Power of Makeup lesson with Stephanie recently. The whole process of dealing with her is so pain free, from booking in to the appointment and follow up. She is just a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end.I brought my own little make up bag and thought I'd have to buy lots of additional items, but it turns out that I just needed to be taught how to use what I had...properly!!I felt very comfortable in Stephanie's company in her beautiful studio. It was a really escape for me to switch off and concentrate on learning how to apply my makeup. I think over the years I had lost the confidence at using certain products, but I'm not excited to use what I have and one or two new items!Not only was Stephanie generous at sharing her wealth of knowledge, she made me feel at ease. At no point did I feel like I was asking a stupid question, although I'm sure I was!!I left the studio feeling empowered and confident. I can honestly say that it is not just wearing make up and being shown what to do...it is about how great you feel when you know that you look flawless and happy. I felt a million dollars. Do I recommend Stephanie? YES! 100%

I booked Stephanie to do make up for me and 3 others at my wedding in June 2023. She was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her. I asked for a very natural and fresh bridal look and she did exactly that - I was delighted with the result and my make up was still in place the next morning! She was so efficient to deal with when planning and on the wedding morning she was a vision of calm and a great addition to our getting ready room!

Stephanie is one of the most talented make-up artists out there. From the trial to the wedding, Stephanie understood exactly what I wanted and her attention to detail was exceptional. On top of that, she was an absolute joy to have around on the wedding morning and put me at ease. I would highly recommend her for any wedding party. Thank you Stephanie!

Steph was professional, fun, talented and so trustworthy the morning of my wedding. She was prompt on timing, a calm voice in a morning of excitement and nerves.

Stephanie done mine and my bridal parties make up in July this year for my wedding and all I can say is she is absolutely amazing at what she does, I would 100% recommend, even from all the tears from the bridal party during the ceremony the make up was still perfect at the end of the night, I really cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did ❤️

Steph and Aisling did my Bridal Party makeup in August 2022 and I would highly recommend them both. I knew I was in good hands with Steph from the makeup trial, she knew exactly what I wanted and absolutely nailed the brief. I didn't have to think once about my makeup on the day, which is testament to her professional skills. Thank you Steph!

Stephanie did my makeup for my wedding a few years ago which was perfection! More recently I did a private make up lesson which has completely changed the way I apply my makeup and I wish I did it sooner! Highly recommend a private lesson - my makeup stays on my face the entire day and looks much better! Thank you

Steph did my make up for our wedding and I could not recommend her more!She first did my trial in 2019( before Covid postponed our wedding) and was so in tune with what I wanted and the look I was going for - which wasn't traditional but was no problem to Steph! She kept all the details and was able to recreate it 3 years later when we finally got married! She is so relaxed, professional and talented she was a dream to have at our wedding and all my bridesmaids were in love with how their make up turned out.Steph really knows her stuff and is not only extremely talented but clearly has a really love for the craft and a unique skill which puts her a in a league of her own! I would highly recommend you book Steph for your wedding, any occasion or for any of the services she offers as she will not disappoint!Leah Quinn( wife of Charlie Pascall)

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist to do my makeup on my wedding day. Steph did a fantastic job for me and my bridal party and everyone was delighted with their flawless makeup. Steph is a professional, friendly, calming presence. She was a dream to work with, from the lead up to the wedding, to my trial and the wedding day itself. I can’t recommend her enough.
Ali M.
Stephanie was the most incredible makeup artist we could have asked for! I LOVED my makeup and trial we did together. All my bridal party commented on how wonderful she was and how much they loved her make up. We also had an accident where my mum got makeup on my dress and Stephanie patiently buffed it out with white powder saving the day! Definitely the person you want with you the morning of your wedding!

Steph was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding. Not only is she incredibly skilled, she is so friendly and was great at keeping everyone relaxed. She really listened and delivered exactly the look I wanted. My make-up looked fabulous all day and well into the early hours of the morning! I highly recommend Steph if you're looking for someone super talented and lovely to boot.

Stephanie was the dream to have around on the morning of the wedding - she fitted in seamlessly with the group and we were all over the moon with our make up.

Stephanie did my makeup for my wedding day, along with my mum and two bridesmaid's. Stephanie was so lovely and professional in both the lead up to the day, and on the morning. I wanted my make up to look soft and natural, and not to budge on the day- which was exactly what I got! I didn't need to top up at all, and was super happy with how my makeup turned out. Definitely don't hesitate in booking Stephanie for ay occasion!

Stephanie is the best make up artist I have ever been to. I am amazed by her talents. She really listens to what you need and her work is absolutely flawless. She is just so professional and kind too, when she does my make up it's a truly fun and enjoyable experience.

I had a lovely lesson with Stephanie yesterday, a Christmas gift from my daughter in law! Stephanie completed my make up for my sons wedding and I was so impressed with how well i looked for the entire day that i was determined to follow up with a lesson.It was great to get the process of foundations which I have never practiced and how to use the products to their best advantage.Stephanie is a friendly open person, non intrusive but there to support her clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for your events.
Teresa H.
Stephanie gave me very practical advice on how to use the make up I already have, along with giving me the confidence to apply it myself. She was very professional, engaging and listened to my needs. I would highly recommend working with her. I fact, I’ve already sent her details to some of my friends.
Una M.
Steph is a complete master of her craft. From mothers who normally will not let anyone do their make-up, to hiding spots on the groom, she was incredible. She arrived early (actually she was the first there, including the bridal party and families) and did such an amazing job. The best part was she fitted in so seamlessly and felt like one of our friends just hanging out with us on the morning of our wedding. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, she is amazing.
Sean C.
Stephanie did makeup for my two bridesmaids and I for my wedding. I really wanted to look like myself on the day and not overly made up, and Steph delivered perfectly on this. She was also really pleasant to deal with throughout and brilliant on the morning of the wedding. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing. Held perfectly in 30 degree heat. Thank you Stephanie
