I had the best afternoon ever with Mel. It was an absolute delight from start to finish. I learnt so much in the masterclass - it was unbelievable and even when I took the makeup off my skin was 100 times better than it had been before. Honestly I couldn?t recommend Mel more highly. She makes you feel comfortable and teaches you so much, she?s a genius.

I came for a 3 hour make up lesson with Mel today and she was just so lovely. I was really nervous as I'm not too girly and don't know very much about make up, but she was great. She had a lovely approachable way about her and she really put me at ease. She taught me so much and I had a great time!

From the second I arrived for my master class Melanie made me feel comfortable and at home! There?s a magic in her work that she translates into something you can use and take forward into your everyday life. She?s passionate, knowledgeable and she listens. I came as an absolute beginner having never really been ?into? make up etc and having a VERY minimal make up bag and no clue as to how to use brushes, blending or any of the techniques as well as a dubious set of items in the make up bag I?d brought along! I have virtually NO skin care routine and I?m super sensitive to scent and even the ?taste? and feel of make up, so I was expecting it all to be a bit of a challenge. I sniff mascara before I buy it just to double check I?d be able to stand the smell of it on my eye lashes and it?s not unknown for me to have a bit of a meltdown if I find a product, use it forever and they then discontinue it!!None of it phased Melanie, in fact she made me feel as if it was normal and just worked with me to talk through the products we were using, how to apply them and how to choose certain things. I learned a lot. In between the learning and now I also forgot a lot, maybe even most of it! BUT what I do remember is the fun that I had meeting her, being comfortable about allowing someone else to do my make up while she was teaching me and the feeling that I had at the end that maybe in fact I could do something different and step out of my comfort zone when it comes to the make up that I wear. I might even at some point have a ?proper? skin care routine although I?m inclined to think at this point that it might need to involve some messenger stalking of Melanie to help me remember what to do when I finally purchase the new products ?Thank you Melanie for a magical afternoon and the imprint of wonder and happiness you?ve left in my heart after meeting you! x

Had a masterclass with Melanie and it was absolutely fabulous. I went knowing nothing about what colours to wear, how to put them on and had never even thought about a akin care regime.Melaine took time to explain aboit my skin tone and the coliur palettes that would suit me and also how to work with the different shades of the colour palettes throughoit the year and then took me through step-by-step on how to correctly apply the makeup from eyes, to cheeks to lips all the while making sure I was comfortable with what she was telling me and happy with how to apply. The 3 hours went over so quickly and I couldn't believe how much I had learnt during that time and how much more confident I felt in being able to take all of the practical tips she had given me and be able to recreate the same looks at home.I had never felt confident enough to think about doing something like this until I first met Melanie and she did my makeup for a night out and she made me feel so comfortable right from the start and I knew she would be the perfect person to help me find my way in the makeup mindful and she certainly didn't disappoint.Thank you for a fabulous masterclass and for giving me the confidence and skills to be able to do my own makeup now and be able to look in the mirror and lke what i see, it's been a long time coming and I wish I'd met you sooner. Thank you xx

I had a make-up masterclass with Mel and she was absolutely brilliant - so knowledgeable and the masterclass was completely tailored to me, my features and what I wanted to know. I learnt so much and she gave me lots of product recommendations too. If I need a make-up artist in the future I will definitely use Mel. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a make-up masterclass!Service: Makeup services

It was very last-minute when I decided to have my wedding makeup done professionally, so I really landed on my feet with Mel. Right from the beginning, Mel was responsive and communicative, and that put my mind at ease. There wasn't enough time for a trial, given the late notice, so Mel left plenty of time on the day to get the look right. I don't like being rushed, so it meant a lot to me that we had that space.Mel really fit in with the team helping me get ready and settled my nerves with her friendly personality. I couldn't have chosen a better makeup artist for my wedding day and was absolutely delighted with how it turned out. I felt confident and radiant. And my mum, who never wears makeup but wanted just a touch, was blown away by Mel's work too. She looked bright, fresh, and 10 years younger.The one thing you want for your wedding day is reliable suppliers and Mel was just that, a reliable professional makeup artist.Thanks so so much, Mel, for helping me feel incredible on such a special day, who showed up on time and did exactly what she had promised.Services: Makeup services

First time having a facial with Melanie. Nothing like I?ve had before. A very delicate, relaxing and luxurious treatment. I was so relax for the hour and my skin feels amazing and refreshed. Would recommend Melanie to anyone! ??

I had my make up done for a Christmas party. This was the first time I had my make up done professionally. Melanie totally put me at ease and explained what would work well and what wouldn't. I felt amazing at my party. I will be booking again.

Melanie did my bridal make-up this weekend! She is a clear professional who knows her trade! I'm not what you would call a 'girlie-girl', but she put me at ease, listened to me - then advised me to ensure I was getting what was right for me & (what's most important) made me look fabulous for my big day. She also did my mother's makeup & she has asked me to ask Melanie for the product info - as she believed she has never looked so good :-)! Defo 5*! Thank you, Melanie.

Just want to say a massive thank you to Melanie for doing my make up for my wedding day. I looked like a totally different person and felt so special. I wish I could look that good every day! Such a lovely down to earth person, I felt so comfortable with her and trusted her 100% as we didn't have a trial and the end result was amazing. Thank you so much Mel, I will treasure the photos forever xxx

Apologies for the much delayed review that Melanie totally deserves! She was fantastic and very creative. I had no idea what I wanted and only gave a brief description but she was able to make me looking fab! I've always wanted to try out red lips but never brave enough, Melanie persuaded me n the end result was great! I got much compliments and would definitely recommend her to anyone and use her again x

I absolutely can't recommend Melanie enough. She did my bridal make up and my bridesmaid for my wedding in May of this year. She is a super talented make up artist, and certainly knows her stuff. Our make up didn't move at all for the whole day. She has the greatest personality and puts everyone at ease. Just wish I could pack her into my make up bag to do my make up every day. I LOVED it ???Thanks again Mel ???
