Kirstie is a brilliant make up artist and stylist. Having met working in television, and seeing how HIGHLY regarded she was by the talent on set, I knew they really valued her work, and it was amazing.Having also had kirsties brilliant skills used on myself for hair and make up many times, she will ALWAYS be my first point of call, for my hair and make up as well as anyone else I can share her talents with.She's a well rounded artist who excels in everything she does, and adapts all the time.Clearly a very big fan, and highly highly recommend!

Kirstie did the makeup for my wedding and she did an incredible job! She was super professional, kept everything sanitary, and was really easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her.

Kirstie did my make up for my wedding and she did such an amazing job! I was a little nervous as I have rosacea and wanted to make sure it wasn't visible but Kirstie put me at ease and listened to my concerns and direction and I had the exact outcome I wanted. All of my bridal party were thrilled with their make up and it lasted all day even under rainfall! Thanks so much Kirstie :)

I could not rate Kirstie more highly for the hair and makeup she did for my mum, friend and myself on the morning of my wedding! Kirstie was fantastic at communicating in the lead up to the wedding and absolutely nailed it on the day. Kirstie is exceptionally professional, friendly and adaptable - she provided great advice and direction when we were trying to figure out what we wanted for our looks and she managed to surpass anything the three of us could have hoped for! I'd absolutely recommend Kirstie for bridal or special occasion hair and/or make up. She made what was such an important part of the wedding morning feel so special and exciting!

I've had my make up done by a few different people, but since having Kirstie she's the only one I'll go to! She's incredible at making you feel comfortable and enhancing your features rather than making you look like a different person. She's up to date with trends but instead of a one size fits all approach , uses different techniques to help you look your best! After having her for a few different events there was no question of who would do my wedding make up. She was an absolute joy to have as an addition to the wedding morning prep and is very client-satisfaction focused. I'm telling all my engaged friends to book with Kirstie!!

I have had Kirstie do my makeup and hair 3 times now and each time I have loved what she has done to enhance my features and style my hair. She is always friendly and professional and is always on time for appointments. I even had her to my hair and makeup for my business' photoshoot and headshots.I have also worked on/watched a couple of shows where Kirstie has been the Makeup designer and she always does a brilliant job. Most notably her work on Shrek The Musical, where she designed the character's makeup looks as well as applied prosthetics to Shrek.I highly recommend Kirstie in these services and I look forward to having her do my hair and makeup many more times in the future.

Kirstie did my bridal makeup trial and makeup on the day! For me, my MIL and maid of honour. We all looked stunning, and she tailored it to what we wanted. She also helped me get my gown on, which is going beyond the call of duty, I reckon. I wish I looked like that every day hahaha. Thank you, Kirstie!!!!!!

Kristie has done my hair and makeup for two occasions now and I have been very happy with the results. She is hands down the best makeup artist I have ever been to and she is a wizard with hair as well! If you have an event you need to look your best for, look no further. :)
