Michelle G Make Up Artist

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. If I could give 0 stars I would. My sister booked with this company for her wedding hair and makeup with MICHELLE and RACHEL. We attended her trial in RACHELS HOME on the 18th of July, my sister had given a thorough explanation of what her ideal makeup would be like and the details on her skin texture. She had showed MICHELLE a photo of what she wanted and the end result was nothing like it. My sister had specified she had dry skin which requires moisturiser and appropriate skin prep. MICHELLE didn’t use any primer, any moisturiser, any setting spray. Which MICHELLE later stated that primer and setting spray is ONLY used on the day of the wedding. This is absolutely bizarre to me as why does a ‘qualified makeup artist’ not use the most important steps for any makeup look only on the wedding day and not on the trial? This is just a waste of time to the bride who will not see the complete look for the day. My sister said no powder yet she set her face with powder. No concealer was used, instead she put THREE layers of foundation under her eyes, which was already the wrong colour for her skin. But no other foundation was in sight within her makeup case so I do not understand how she caters to other skin tones. Foundation wasn’t blended down the neck, or blended at all for that matter. My sister’s face was left streaky with orange lines around the jaw and cheeks. The lighting within RACHELS home was poor and did not reflect the same in broad daylight. Her skin appeared muddy and cakey as MICHELLE did not listen to my sisters brief on how her skin is dry and how she did not want a matte finish obviously. The makeup looked like a 10 year old completed it. No skill was used what so ever and I’d like to question how MICHELLE is even allowed to do makeup as a profession. My sister asked for bronzer and blush yet only blush was used. MICHELLE completely ignored the brief, my sister also asked for a small winged eyeliner which MICHELLE refused to do as it doesn’t ’photograph well’ but I think that’s just out of her skill set. We live nearly 2 hours away from RACHELS house and the makeup didn’t even last a car journey home let alone a full day for your wedding. On to hair, my sister didn’t ask for any extravagant hair only that it was a POLISHED wave. RACHEL used a really thin barrel curling wand, curled really small sections and didn’t even brush through the curls to create the waves that was asked for. Now I could have done that with my eyes closed. To me you do NOT pay £100 for makeup and £100 for hair FOR EACH PERSON to look like my sister did on this trial day. The absolute cheek to charge these prices for such poor quality work is beyond me. The level of professionalism from these women was disgusting. We was only in their house for 10 minutes before they spoke about a previous bride who had family drama and told us every detail of what happened while they was there. Seems to me they must get something out of gossiping and putting others down on their WEDDING DAY of all days. Also MICHELLE made it very clear to my sister that she could not have a trial with anyone else. It is now the 22nd of July and my sister has YET to be given ANY money back at all of £1010 she had paid. MICHELLE states that there is a fee for the trial day where it doesn’t state that anywhere on her forms just that the trial is free when booking a wedding. MICHELLE is making up hidden fees anyway she chooses to. THEY ARE A TOTAL SCAM. I haven’t had any contact with them at all yet they have blocked me on instagram which shows me they have been digging through my sisters followers to find my name? Absolute scam artists. Please who ever sees this review think twice if you’re going to book these. They also state in their cancellation policy that they do not pay back in event of a client death. If that doesn’t show what kind of people they are I don’t know what does.Moreexpand_more

Michelle and Rachel were absolutely brilliant. Michelle was amazing and professional from the moment we got in touch. We had several phone calls and video calls bouncing around ideas for makeup. We were super impressed with our trial and on the day the make-up was even better and stayed on throughout the day! Michelle used vegan makeup as per our requests and was so accommodating. All of our bridesmaids and Mothers of the Brides were so happy with their makeup and hair. Having a good old chat with Michelle on my wedding morning really put my wedding nerves at ease. I cannot fault Michelle or Rachel for how amazing there were. LGBTQ friendly, amazing with bridesmaids with autism and just the most friendly and talented team. Thanks so much. Mrs and Mrs R xx.Moreexpand_more

Michelle did mine and my 4 bridesmaids make up for my wedding in July and I honestly can't praise her enough! She made me and my girls look absolutely amazing! All of our guests commented on how beautify and natural our make up looked. Michelle uses good quality make up and I didn't have to worry once about it do, one off or needing reapplying as my make up looked as perfect at the end of the night as it did when it was first put on. She is also very reasonably priced, especially for the products and time she uses. Nothing was too much trouble for Michelle, she achieved the exact look I wanted for me and my bridesmaids. When you first meet Michelle she instantly puts you at ease, so friendly and bubbly it's like you've known her years! Her amazing personality came out more at my make up trial and on the day of my wedding. Thank you Michelle for making me feel amazing and making me look beautiful on my big day! Any one thinking of booking Michelle, I would 100% recommend it, she truly is amazing at what she does.Moreexpand_more

I runs the lovely Michelle in a major panic as my make up artist cancelled, weeks before I was due to get married! A call to Michelle and she came to my rescue, really happy with the trail. On my big day Michelle was always professional, punctual and made me look like a princess for my special day! I would highly recommend Michelle as she is a lovely person and an amazing make up artist:).

Michelle is a fantastic MUAH and has worked with my daughter (who was 14 when she first started to complete photoshoots) on a couple of occasions. The results from her make-up are amazing.

Michelle makes you feel relaxed and at ease at the trial and on your big day.

I felt well looked after at the trial and was very happy with the results, I went on to book Michelle for my wedding day and was so pleased with my make up and I received lots of compliments. Great price and service with a vast range of products, highly recommended :).

Michelle did the makeup for myself my sister and my mom and was fabulous, the products were excellent she was efficient and felt part of the family on the morning. We got married on the hottest day of 2014 and even then our makeup didn't move. We're having Michelle again next year to do the make up for my sisters wedding - totally recommend.

Michelledid a brilliant job on my make over, she was patient and listens to what image I wanted and then produced a stunning make over for me. Would recommend her to any one wanting a talented make up artist.

Michelle did my bridesmaid make up in August she was amazing she listened to what we wanted She was so professional and friendly I would definitely recommend michelle and use her again !

Cannot recommend Michelle highly enough. She did an amazing job for myself, chief bridesmaid and my mom. It was lovely to have her with us on my special day. She's so professional and really listens to what kind of make up you like and just "glams" it up…. Amazing make up artist, wonderful lady.

Michelle is such a beautiful lady and makes you at ease whilst showing you every step how your makeup is looking, my makeup for my aunties big day was amazing, such a talented lady 5 stars from me all round x.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic when she did my wedding make up on 26th September this year, she was so thorough and at all times very professional but with a friendly touch, that you instantly felt comfortable and confident in what she was doing. I couldn't have asked for a nicer person to go my wedding party make up, myself, 2 bridesmaids and my 2 sisters looked amazing *****.
