Richelle has done my make up on two occasions, the most recent being my wedding day. She does an absolutely amazing job and is lovely with it. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of being made over by Richelle for a very special wedding in 2021. Apart from being extremely professional throughout my appointment, Richelle is nothing short of an artist. I was blown away by the end result and her interpretation of the few pictures I was able to offer as a guide. Richelle, you are an absolute make up magician and I can't wait to see you again in April, for you to create another masterpiece on my wedding day.

Richelle was an amazing makeup artist for myself, my mum, and my bridesmaid for my wedding. She was calm, professional, friendly, and really made all of us feel so special and pretty. Makeup lasted all night and we all got so many compliments! Richelle was really amazing, especially having to step in at the last moment when my first MUA cancelled a week out. Thank you Richelle!!

Richelle was an absolute angel to work with and a true gift on my wedding day! Not only was she lovely, professional, kind and respectful but she made me and my bridesmaids feel like and look like absolute goddesses! I cannot recommend her enough and will tell every person (especially all brides) about her. If you want a stress free day for makeup and hair you NEED Richelle. I will forever be grateful to have had her for my special day.
