Customer Testimonials

“WOW, Polly was simply fantastic! She put me at ease about my make up from the minute I met her at my trial. I suffer from acne on my face & chest & was having a flair up in the week leading up to my wedding, & she assured me that my make up would be perfect & it was. I felt & looked a million dollars. She was able to offer airbrush make up & a range of colours on my eyes & lips that complimented my pale blue dress & my make up lasted all night & looked flawless in my photographs.”

Your wedding makeup shouldn’t belong to a trend. I Your wedding makeup shouldn’t belong to a trend. It should belong to you. 

Because in 10, 20, 30 years’ time, you’ll still be looking at those photographs.

Choose the makeup that makes you feel beautiful. The version of you that you recognise. The one that feels right, whether that’s barely-there, soft glam or full-on glamour.

Trends will come and go.

Feeling like yourself will never date. 🤍
The smoky eye. She’s been around forever and she’s The smoky eye. She’s been around forever and she’s not going anywhere. 

Eyes open ➡️ oh HELLO.
Eyes closed ➡️ classic smoky eye doing exactly what she came here to do.
Bare faced ➡️ proof that sometimes it’s not about changing your face… it’s about knowing where to put the drama.

A smoky eye doesn’t have to be black, heavy or remotely 2012 nightclub. Done right, it just makes your eyes pop, adds definition and gives a little something something without taking over your whole face.

Basically… if smoky eyes ever go out of fashion, I’m ignoring the memo.

Challenge accepted. 

Her skin can be prone to redness and flare-ups, but she also looks after it really well and that makes SUCH a difference when it comes to makeup.

So rather than piling on foundation to cover everything, we actually used very little.

Concealer where we needed the coverage, the lightest dusting of foundation where necessary, some blush… and then basically left the rest of her skin alone.

Because coverage doesn’t have to mean layers and layers of makeup.

The one thing she was VERY happy to go bigger on?

The lashes. 👏

Extra fluffy, extra pretty and all the attention straight to those gorgeous eyes.

And I think her face at the end says everything — she still looked like herself, her skin felt comfortable, she had the coverage she wanted… just with considerably more fabulous eyelashes. 🤍

Minimal makeup. Strategic coverage. Maximum lash.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate a brid Can we all just take a moment to appreciate a bride who actually drank the water AND moisturised the life out of her skin with the right products like I told her to? 👏

Because THIS is what properly prepped, hydrated skin looks like.

A little sparkle on the chest, lips finished, skin behaving impeccably… and then that final look. 🔥

Honestly, at this point the makeup is just taking credit for work it didn’t do.

Be honest, are you drinking your water AND doing your skincare before your wedding… or just hoping I can perform miracles on the morning? 😂

Nobody really talks about the behind-the-scenes bits. The shapewear 😂

Because for lots of brides, Spanx are just as much a part of getting ready as the dress, the hair and the makeup.

Here’s to looking incredible… and to everyone who’s ever done the little wiggle, shimmy and deep breath to get into them. 😂

Are you team shapewear or lingerie for a wedding day?

But the bit that stayed with me came a few seconds later when Charlie said,

“I don’t often feel beautiful… but I do today.” 🤍

Sounds corny but it’s never about transforming someone into somebody else. It’s about helping them see the version of themselves that’s already there, just with a little extra confidence on one of the biggest days of their life.

Charlie you are beautiful 😍

I don’t have a signature look. It’s impossible to I don’t have a signature look.

It’s impossible to fit every bride into the same style.

Some love soft, fresh and barely-there. Some want full-on Hollywood glamour. Neither is better—they’re just different.

Every bride deserves a look that’s designed around her… not my Instagram feed.

Yesterday, I was back at the Netherwood, where I got married 19 years ago. 🤍 It always feels a little bit special walking through those doors, but getting to help another bride get ready there made it even more so.

This look was exactly right for Bethan. (BTW Bethan, you and your squad were the most organised team ever! Your ‘wedding pack’ will go down in wedding history 😂)
