Perfect for a mature bride or mother of the bride
I am a mature bride and I received tons of compliments about my wedding makeup. James kept a natural look but he enhanced my face so perfectly. I felt like a movie star.

Professional
I did my makeup trial with James, he was professional, friendly and great value for the service! Sadly he wasn’t available on my wedding day, but he gave a wonderful recommendation.

Bridesmaid makeup
James was exceptional! He did my makeup at a destination wedding and there was about 5 of us that needed makeup done. He managed his time very well and did a fantastic job on each of us. I showed him the look I was trying to achieve and he nailed it! The makeup lasted all day and night without needing any touch ups which was fantastic.

Professional, and a heart of gold!
James really listens to what you would like, he was to capture exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.

A dream to work with
James was a dream to work with. He understood my vision and worked with me to make it happen. I appreciated his expertise- hello kiss-proof lipstick! and his important recommendations (I despise thick foundation, so he found a way to ensure I was photo-ready but didn't feel like I had a thick layer of make-up on). My bridesmaids all have different styles and complexations and without even having to ask, he nailed it for every single one of them!! Our make-up was one of the least stressful aspects of the wedding. James not only did all of our make-up (5 of us) by noon, he also took care of me, ensuring I was happy and relaxed and had a constant beverage refill. He made getting ready fun. I can't thank him enough for making me beautiful on one of my most special days.

Absolutely Amazing! James did a fantastic job on my bridal party and always kept my time/schedule in mind. He was so considerate of everyone, asking what they envisioned and gave his advise. The makeup selections he brought was unbelievable, something all makeup geeks dream of. James created a completely stress free and calm atmosphere. We all had so much fun and lots of laughs! No one had issues with the makeup all day...even with numerous hours of dancing we looked like models!!! :) Thank you James! xo

James is a star and one of the best choices any bride could make for their wedding day. Such a talented artist, I was in very safe hands, I felt beautiful and importantly I looked like me. However it his warmth, generosity and calming nature that you will remember the most. When everything else is rushing by in a crazy blur he will ensure you are relaxed and importantly happy. A huge big thank you for making me one very happy bride.

Long-lasting makeup
James was great, he worked very efficiently and gave both of us a long-lasting makeup look! He also saved the day as our original mua had to cancel last minute.

Absolutely amazing!
I cannot recommend James enough. He was able to bring my bridal makeup dreams to life. Not only was he technically talented and able to execute everyone’s looks perfectly but he made the experience unforgettable. His charming personality made our wedding morning that much more enjoyable. Everyone in my wedding party raved about their makeup and felt so beautiful.

So Fab in Maui
James did the makeup for my wedding in Maui this past August 2019. I/we are still gushing over the photos!
I have had the pleasure of working with James before and trust him implicitly - asking him to do my wedding was a no brainer and I feel so fortunate he agreed. The preamble was so easy; he's an absolute professional with a knack for highlighting the best in women, and naturally so. He was such an integral part of my getting ready experience; calm, astute and a great sense of humour to boot.
He was an absolute asset to my 'glam squad' - my Maid of Honour in particular could not stop gushing! I knew I could trust him to bring my face to life but when I first looked in the mirror... my breath caught and I felt the most incredible feeling come over me - it was more than I could have ever even requested and I felt confident, sexy, feminine and ready to take on that Maui heat and massive day!
A million thank you's and cannot thank James enough!!
