Grainne!! I can’t thank you enough for the service you provided myself and my bridal party!!
From the start of the morning to the very end until I walked down the aisle you were there with me, making sure my make up was touched up!
I honestly could not explain enough how much you made the morning so calm and easy! I didn’t even need to tell you what I needed you just knew straight away! The make up that you done made me feel so beautiful for my wedding day, which stayed on until the very end!
From the very start when I had emailed you looking for an inquiry you replied matter of hours and explained it all in great detail, you were one of the first people who I had contacted for my wedding and your support made the journey so easy.
Grainne provided myself with hacks and products that I will continue to use even after the wedding, the service you provide is absolutely amazing and I truly can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

I cannot recommend Gráinne highly enough. From the moment I met her for my trial, I knew I was in the best hands. She took so much time to explain everything, listened carefully to what I wanted, and gave her own expert advice in such a kind and reassuring way. I left the trial feeling excited and completely confident for my wedding day.
On the morning of the wedding, Gráinne was amazing from start to finish. Each of my bridesmaids wanted something different, and she created the most beautiful individual looks for every one of them. They all looked absolutely stunning and felt so happy with their makeup. She also did an amazing job on my mam’s makeup, making her look and feel so beautiful and confident. It meant so much to see everyone looking their best and feeling so special on the day.
As someone who is usually quite nervous about having my makeup done because I often worry it will feel too heavy or look like too much, Gráinne completely put me at ease. She listened to every concern I had and created a look that felt like the best version of myself. My makeup was beyond anything I could have imagined it was flawless, natural, and lasted all day.
Looking back at my photos now, I am still blown away by how beautiful the makeup looked. More importantly, I felt beautiful. That is such a special gift to give a bride on her wedding day.
Gráinne is incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely lovely to be around. She played such a big part in making me feel calm, confident, and beautiful on one of the most important days of my life, and I will always be grateful for that. Thank you, Gráinne, for helping make my wedding morning so special. 🤍

Grainne is a brilliant choice as a makeup artist for your most special day. She was so lovely and made myself, my bridesmaids and mothers look our best on the day.
Her tools and makeup were clean, hygienic and great quality. Everyone's makeup lasted all day with minimal touchups needed. I couldn't recommend Grainne more!

Gráinne was absolutely amazing on my wedding day. I didn’t do a makeup trial, yet she somehow understood exactly what I wanted and created the most flawless, glowy look that lasted all night. It even survived a full drink being accidentally thrown on my face by a friend — and still looked perfect.
What meant the most was how calming and supportive she was. The morning came with a few unexpected emotional moments, and she handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. She genuinely helped settle my nerves and made me feel cared for during a stressful time.

Grainne was outstanding from the moment I booked her! She was incredibly responsive and adaptable with my make up trail as I was an international bride. I could not recommend Grainne enough- she’s an absolute doll. She’s as good as her photos- not a single file yet and your skin will be flawless. I’ve never felt so beautiful! Grainne was a big part of the wedding morning for me and my 5 Bridesmaids and helped us all feel so relaxed. I’d almost be tempted to tell all my friends back home in the UK to get married in Ireland just so they could book Grainne! 1000/10. thank you!!

Grainne was the most incredible make up artist, she left me feeling so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. From the moment Grainne walked into the bridal suite she had everyone feeling relaxed and we all were so happy with how our makeup turned out.
Grainne’s attention to detail is just incredible until we walked out the door for the church she was doing little touch ups and made sure we were all happy. The makeup stayed flawless all day and it’s photographed so beautifully.
Grainne is not just an amazing Make up artist but a lovely person and we had some really good chats which kept us all so chill on the morning. Through the happy tears, hugs and hours of dancing my makeup still felt amazing and all the compliments that came with that too. Thank you Grainne for making me feel so amazing on my wedding day.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better make up artist. I don’t normally like getting my photo taken and would not be the most confident in my looks. But Grainne made me feel like a princess. I have never felt so pretty. I trusted her completely and she blew it out of the park. She made me and my bridesmaids feel so ease and confident in our own skin. She truly is the best at what she does!!

I booked Grainne straight after securing our venue at Cabra Castle, and from our very first phone call she was incredibly helpful, even recommending local vendors.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel my trial, but Grainne immediately put me at ease. We had a lovely chat over the phone where we discussed different looks, and she also recommended a skincare routine and products for my makeup bag. Even without the trial, I felt completely confident in her.
On the morning of the wedding, Grainne was amazing. All of the girls were thrilled with their makeup—it was absolutely flawless. My mother, who rarely wears makeup, was especially delighted with her look; it was natural and perfect for her.
I was quite nervous that morning, but Grainne has such a calm and reassuring presence that she completely put me at ease. My own makeup was incredible—it lasted all day and night, and I received so many compliments. I’ve genuinely never loved my makeup as much as I did that day.

At my make up trial she offered me advice about my skin, which I followed and I had the most amazing make up on the day- it was flawless and lasted all night long.

She really listened from the trial right through to the wedding morning and created a bridal look that felt completely like me.
I received so many compliments on my makeup, it was perfect, lasted all night and photographed beautifully. She absolutely nailed the bridesmaids’ looks too; everyone looked stunning and their makeup held up flawlessly.
Gráinne is also amazing with skincare advice and clearly has so much experience working with different skin tones and skin types. She brought such a calm, positive energy to the morning and was such a lovely presence to have around.
A true perfectionist in the best possible way. If you’re lucky enough to have Gráinne available for your date, book her, you won’t regret it. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. ❤️

I got married on NYE last week and had the wonderful Grainne do my wedding makeup. I booked Grainne over 2.5years ago when I started booking vendors as NYE is a prime date and I was thrilled that Grainne had her diary open so far in advance. I loved her makeup style on her Instagram page and knew she would be perfect so I booked her straight away. The make up trial was such a lovely experience and really enjoyed the time spent with Grainne who went through everything and gave me advice and recommendations, both on the day and anytime I messaged her coming up to the wedding. On the wedding morning, I felt like Grainne did more than just being a makeup artist, she was so helpful and just knew when things needed to be done to keep on schedule and always provided advice to help us out that morning. Before leaving the house to head to the church, Grainne made sure that I was all set and bronzed up after putting on the dress. She left no stone unturned and I truly appreciate this and her attention to detail. The make up itself was fab and did not budge all day and night after dancing all the way up to after 4am!

Grainne was incredible from start to finish. I reached out to her via Instagram when I saw that my venue had shared her work. From the moment we started chatting, I knew she was the perfect MUA for my bridal party. She’s so knowledgable and was able to advise me exactly how to prep my skin prior to the wedding, so it looked its best. The trial was perfect and it was lovely to meet her ahead of the day. We played around with a few styles and Grainne advised me what would work best. We spoke 1:1 closer to the time and my mind was completely at ease.
Grainne brought a positive, calming energy to the wedding morning. She was even showing the bridal party how to steam a dress at one point. I cannot recommend her enough. She made my bridal party and I feel so beautiful and special. I felt like an enhanced version of myself which was so important to me. I’ll be forever grateful x

I couldn’t recommend Grainne highly enough. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get dates that suited for a trial beforehand, but honestly it didn’t matter one bit. On the morning of the wedding, Grainne listened so carefully to exactly what I wanted and also took on board what suited each of my bridesmaids and mother. She made everyone feel completely at ease and the results were absolutely beautiful.
Grainne also recommended our hair stylist, Aideen, who was equally talented. The two of them working together were such good craic on the morning of the wedding — so relaxed, fun and yet incredibly professional. They truly felt like extra hype girls and bridesmaids rolled into one.
Their experience really showed, especially as we were getting married in Cabra Castle where they both work regularly. They were so helpful in suggesting the best places to get ready and gave great advice on photo opportunities, which was such a bonus and took a lot of stress off the morning.
From start to finish, the whole experience was amazing and I honestly couldn’t recommend Grainne (and Aideen!) more. My makeup did not shift and lasted all day, including remaining in place during photo’s outside during a windy day and also in the bridal suite hot tub. Thank you for making me feel my best version of myself.

Grainne was my makeup artist for myself, my two bridesmaids and my mam. I cannot describe how amazing she was from the beginning! The professionalism and talent Grainne showed was second to none. She is so knowledgable and gave me great tips that I’ve now brought in to my everyday makeup routine! The make up trial was so informative and Grainne really helped me figure out what I wanted the finished look to be. We had the most fun wedding morning with Grainne, the chats and laughs were in full swing, she made myself and the girls feel so comfortable and was so receptive to anything we wanted to add to our looks. I would highly recommend Grainne!

She was amazing with all the bridesmaids and my mam in listening to how they usually wear their makeup as well. Grainne is so professional and organised I knew I didn’t have a thing to worry about on the day itself. On the morning she was a joy to have involved and was so lovely to everyone and laid back which was exactly the morning we wanted. I loved how my makeup turned out and it lasted the entire day! Grainne was brilliant at giving advice on top up products and what would last the duration of the wedding( even with the dancing)

I didn't even want to take my make up off that night, felt like such a shame to remove such talent off my face...so I kept it on! Haha thank you so much Grainne, I will definitely be recommending you to others getting married!

Grainne was my MUA for myself (bride) and the bridal party. She was recommended by a friend, and what a recommendation it was ! From our first meeting, the professionalism and kindliness Grainne showed was exceptional! She is truly knowledgable in her craft and gave me great recommendations and support to ensure my skin was radiant from the moment of our trial (not a big skin care girly) to the moment of getting into the dress and down to the venue and even to where the makeup came off at 5am after the party - Didnt budge an inch! She also put me in touch with local hair and beauty personnel who she works with very early on in the booking process (again, all new to me) so I had the full pamper package - I would highly recommend Grainne! Thanks again!

I had my makeup done as a bridesmaid by Grainne and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly professional, talented, and attentive to every detail. She made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. My makeup was flawless, photographed beautifully, and lasted all day and still looked great that night. I felt amazing and would highly recommend her to any bride or bridal party looking for stunning bridal makeup.

Gráinne looked after me and my bridal party in November at Cabra Castle and I genuinely cannot put into words how incredible she was. From the moment she arrived she brought such a calming kind presence to the room. Her knowledge of makeup is exceptional and she is a true perfectionist, but it was her warmth and compassion that meant the most to me.
She went so far beyond her role helping my mum get dressed, caring for my flower girls, making sure everyone felt comfortable and looked beautiful. My makeup was absolutely flawless and never budged all day but more importantly I felt completely looked after. I will be forever grateful to Gráinne and could not recommend her highly enough for future brides special day .

Grainne was amazing from the get go. I had my make up trial a few months before the wedding and she was able to pick out areas of my face where my skin needed more tlc. She sent me a list of products to get to be sure my skin would look it’s very best! I bought everything she recommended and my skin was like glass on the day! She arrived on the morning of the wedding with lots of time so there was no pressure or stress to get to everyone. She was a lovely addition to the buzz around the house on the morning. I booked her for my day 2 also, which was a life saver, although my make up didn’t really budge at all throughout the night !

Grainne was an absolute dream to have as a make-up artist. From my first inquiry to the trail and to the wedding, I was confident I could put my full trust in her. Having arrived to the house bright and early on the morning of the wedding, Grainne fit seamlessly into the preparations and chaos with a smile on her face.
Her amazing personality aside, Grainne has an incredible talent of highlighting everyone's natural beauty as well as catering to everyone's personal style. Myself, my 4 bridesmaids and my family were so impressed with our make up, it never budged all day from 7am to 4am. Needless to say, day 2 was a shock to the system when we had to do our own!

I didn’t need to show her any pictures of what I wanted. I had my trial with her, trusted that she knew best and I was so right. My makeup was flawless, I’ve had so many compliments. It didn’t move all day and I got my day 2 makeup out of it too. Grainne helped with my nerves, got some great content and gave me direction when I needed it throughout the morning. She stayed with me right until I walked down the aisle, gave me final touch ups and had such a calmer affect.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Grainne! She was my makeup artist for my wedding in August and she went above and beyond in every way. From the very first trial, she listened carefully to what I wanted, a look that felt natural, radiant, and timeless — and she absolutely nailed it.
On the wedding day, she brought such a calming and positive energy, which made the morning so enjoyable. She was incredibly professional and so warm and friendly that it felt like having another friend there with me.
My makeup was flawless and lasted all day and night even through tears, hugs, and dancing! Every photo looked amazing, and I still had that bridal glow at the end of the evening. She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids and my mom, and everyone looked stunning.
If you are looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making you feel your best, I cannot recommend Grainne highly enough. She made me feel beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of my life. Thank you so much! 💖

The trial was extremely helpful and allowed us to talk through every part of my wedding day makeup look. Grainne brought a fun-loving energy to both the trial and wedding morning! I was so at ease because I trusted her completely. She did my makeup, my mom’s makeup, and three bridesmaids - everyone’s turned out perfect and natural!

From the first time I sat in Grainne’s make up chair for my trial she put me at ease. Her knowledge of skincare, vitamins and make up was remarkable. She gave me fantastic skin care advice to follow the weeks leaving to the wedding.
On the day she had such a calm, fun and energetic presence. My mammy and sisters (bridesmaids) and I were all delighted with our make up which never budged all day. Grainne even made sure to include my flower girls by putting lip gloss on them.
I would highly recommend Grainne to all brides who are looking for a talented and professional makeup artist for their big day.

On the morning of the wedding, Grainne went above and beyond and made sure everyone was catered for and looked their best.
My mam never had her make up done before and Grainne was so patient and kind and made sure mam was happy with her make up.
The make up stayed on all day and night and as I was heading to bed at nearly 5am, people were still complimenting my makeup and how it still looked so fresh.

From the very first message through to my wedding day there wasn't enough Grainne could do for me. At my trial Grainne listened to my concerns and wants for my make up and blew me away and did so again on my wedding day. My bridal party and my Mam also loved their make up and couldn't speak highly enough of Grainne. If you're looking for a make up artist who will listen to you and help you feel confident on your wedding day then Grainne is your woman.

Honestly, Iv known Grainne personally for a few years prior to my wedding day the minute I booked my wedding I knew I had to have her.
As a person there is nothing grainne wouldn’t do for you she’s the most genuine nicest person you could meet.
As a professional she’s unbelievable I didn’t even bother with a trial that’s how much I trusted her on the day I told her what I wanted and she just worked her magic I felt so stunning. The products were amazing and top of the range grainne knew exactly what to put on and what suited me and it lasted the entire day and evening.
The whole morning was filled with so much laughter and love I’ll never forget it.
I would a million percent recommend grainne to anyone.

Grainne made it on time in the dark with a rain storm howling. She did 6 of us with plenty of time to spare and stuck around for touch ups before we left. Everyone was stunning. She was great at making you feel special and beautiful. Make-up lasted the whole day. It was still perfect when I was taking it off at 4am after dancing like crazy for 6 hours solid. One of my bridesmaids really put hers to the test when she balled crying for the entire ceremony. Thank you Grainne.

I had the pleasure of having Grainne as my makeup artist for my wedding on December 30th 2024, and I cannot recommend her enough! She did an incredible job on my makeup and on my on my mother’s and sisters’—we all looked stunning and felt so confident. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely at ease, and her positive energy truly set the tone for the entire morning. She went above and beyond, helping with little things that weren’t even part of her job, including getting pictures and assisting with small tasks, all while keeping everything organised and on schedule.
Her experience was evident as she effortlessly guided us through the day, making sure everything went smoothly and that we were all ready in time. My soft glam makeup was absolutely perfect and I received so many compliments throughout the day. She truly knows what she's doing and made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional makeup artist!
Thank you Grainne for helping making my day special 😊

I had the absolute pleasure of having Grainne do my make up for my wedding. From the moment I made contact with Grainne to the wedding day, she was kind, obliging and so helpful. During my trial with Grainne, she very thorough in getting the exact look I was hoping for and she nailed it! In the lead up to the wedding nothing was too much bother, any questions or requests I had, Grainne was all over it. On the wedding day, we got delayed arriving to the venue, I was feeling under pressure and anxious but when we arrived Grainne instantly made me feel calm, she has a knack of making you feel relaxed and at total ease. The whole experience of getting my make up was a joy and I loved my makeup! As did my mum and bridesmaids. It was flawless! We all looked and felt amazing. Bar touching up our lipstick, none of us had to touch our make up all day. Grainne also had the added obstacle of my 1 year old insisting on being on my lap while my make up was being done! Not only is Grainne an incredible make up artist but she is a fabulous person also. I cant thank her enough for adding so positively to my day.

Grainne was my makeup artist for my wedding day. When I first met Grainne at my makeup trial, I knew I was in safe hands. She is such a warm, gentle and incredibly genuine person. She gave me the time of day at my bridal trial and reassured me about the kind of look that would suit my eye colour and skin complexion. On the morning of my wedding, Grainne went above and beyond for me, my mother and my 4 bridesmaids. A bridal party of 6 for Grainne - no problem. She made the morning so relaxed for us all, and her lovely personality just added to the special morning that it was for me and my bridal team. I was so happy with my makeup , and it blew my expectations. Grainne even took lots of excellent photos and videos of me and my bridal team and sent them on to me the following day. She was always on hand for any queries I had in the lead up to my big day despite her being an incredibly busy makeup artist. just take a look at her social media pages. Her makeup artistry is sublime. I cannot recommend Grainne enough. She enhanced my wedding day and the whole experience of having a professional like Grainne was nothing but positive. I felt like a million dollars on my wedding day, and I couldn’t thank her enough.

Grainne, what a pleasure it was to have you doing my makeup, as a bride makeup is one of the most important details of the day. Very unsure as I was Planning from Australia but grainne definitely put my mind at ease. Grainne was so professional. I normally don’t wear any makeup and she listened to exactly what I wanted and tried lots of different products until I was happy . My makeup stayed on all day. My bridesmaids loved there's also and we’re giving compliments even at 3 in the morning as it still looked like it had just been applied. Grainne went above and beyond from taking photos of myself and my bridesmaids, applying lip balm on the flower girls so they felt special also.
Grainne was there until the moment I left the house and I would highly recommend any bride what a pleasure to have you on my day x

My bridesmaids looked unreal and my mom who hardly wears any makeup was blown away. The best supporter and a calming presence on a hectic morning so couldn’t ask for anything more! Also she took lots of pictures and content which is great to have since wedding photos usually take a while to come in. 10/10 and would recommend to any bride

She did a great job accommodating the natural look I wanted and working around my sensitive eye issues. She was great fun on the morning, helping bring a fun and calming attitude with music and chats. She hung around and made sure I was perfect just before I walked down the aisle, even taking photos and helping with last minute wardrobe issues. She really advocates for her brides and is a super woman to have by your side as you get ready for your big day. I can’t recommend her enough. You won’t be disappointed!!

From the moment I booked Grainne for my wedding day I knew I was in the best hands. From the various emails/chats In the lead up to the wedding she felt like a friend rather than a stranger when she rocked through the door at 5.45am on the morning of the wedding.
Her makeup skills are absolutely flawless and amazing. My makeup did not budge from myself , the bridesmaids or my mother for the whole day. Everyone has complimented on how glowing and flawless our makeup was on both the wedding day and for the day 2 celebrations as we had booked her to come in for the bridal party again for the second day.
Grainne is an amazing makeup artist and has the most warm and friendly personality too. I would definitely without a doubt recommend her to anyone who is still looking for a makeup artist.

Incredible is the first word that comes to mind! Grainne was just an absolute dream to have as our make up artist, not only for the beautiful looks she created but also for the energy and fun she brought to the morning. From the moment I was in touch with Grainne I felt in safe hands and then even more so after my trial! Grainne was amazing at discussing what products she would use on me and why which was so reassuring. On the morning itself, Grainne honestly made us all feel so comfortable and at ease and every one of us went “wow” when we looked in the mirror. She took her time with every one of us and made sure that our make up would not just stay put for the whole day but continue looking amazing for the day…and it absolutely did! I couldn’t thank Grainne enough for helping to make me feel like a real life princess and for adding so much fun and energy to the morning madness. You are a fabulous lady and incredible at what you do, thank you so much for being part of our day Grainne! x

The morning was very relaxed and fun and this helped to relieve any nerves I had. We felt as though we had a friend in our home doing our make up.

Grainne was our makeup artist on the wedding day of my brother in the beautiful Cabra Castle for myself, two sisters, my daughter (teen) and my mother. Grainne was just brilliant, its like she knew us already before she even started ????, she chatted away to us and there was a lovely vibe in the room, the music and the coffee. We have a lovely picture of my 4 year old niece looking up in awe at Grainne doing my daughter's makeup. Its such a class photo.
As a qualified makeup artist myself, I have to give Grainne 10 out of 10, she worked to our skin tone, wedding outfits, mature skin. Our makeup was an art of perfection and there was no touching up throughout the day, Grainne is really a gifted lady. When all makeup applications were completed we were all checked again just for that touch of perfection. Our makeup was just flawless.
I would highly recommend Grainne, thank you for making us all beautiful for my brothers wedding x

What a fantastic lady. From the minute she walked in she put me at ease. Grainne is a brilliant make up artist and our make up was flawless. I totally put all my trust in grainne as I don't wear make up and she did not disappoint. Looking forward to seeing this lady again in the near future.

Grainne did the makeup when I was a bridesmaid for my sister so as soon as I got engaged I knew that she was the only person I wanted for my wedding , we felt so comfortable with her for my sister Amy's wedding and my mother just loved her makeup on the day as she is not a makeup wearer but Grainne did a beautiful soft look she just loved so I was delighted when she was available for the date .Grainne has such magic hands from doing younger makeups to mature skin and making you feel fabulous , My mother sisters and I looked and felt fabulous and everyone's makeup lasted perfectly through the full day and night .I couldn't recommend Grainne more highly she is an asset to have on the morning of your wedding . Thank you Grainne

I booked Grainne from following her Instagram for a family wedding I was sister of groom .Grainne was extremely helpful and organised on the lead up to the wedding. She was very responsive over email and made some changes to the morning schedule to meet our times around the hair appointments . On the day Grainne was super efficient. She had us all ready ahead of time and touched up all our makeup at the end. Grainne is so friendly and her presence was a lovely addition to our morning. I'll defo be booking Grainne for the rest of our family weddings if we are lucky enough to get her.

My makeup was just as I had hoped for and she was great in providing guidance as to what would suit me best.

I followed Grainne on instagram after a friend recommended her to me I was living abroad so it's difficult trying to organise a wedding when you?re not in the country .From first email with Grainne she was so helpful recommending other suppliers even sourcing accommodation for our Canadian guests .I was unable to get a trial as I wasn't home untill the wk of my wedding I knew I was in good hands I only had to look at her work to see how good she was . On the morning Grainne arrived bright and early and I honestly felt like a friend walked in the door she was just so lovely so enjoyable to have her company in the house. She did make up for 6 of us and we all looked amazing ! Grainne really listened to me what I wanted and I couldn't have felt more beautiful getting off her chair contacted me few days after wedding to enquire how the day went she really has the personal touch ! I would highly recommend Grainne as your wedding make up artist

I had the pleasure of working with Grainne for my wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I met her for the trial, I knew I was in expert hands.
Grainne not only has incredible talent but also a warm and calming presence that made me feel at ease on such a hectic day. She listened attentively to my preferences and concerns, and her attention to detail was truly remarkable.
On the big day, she arrived punctually and executed the makeup flawlessly. My bridal look was natural, radiant, and lasted throughout the long day and night. I received countless compliments, and the photos turned out stunning thanks to her expertise.
I highly recommend Grainne to any bride-to-be. Her professionalism, skill, and years of experience doing weddings, took all the stress away for me and my bridal party - particularly for my mum who would never have had her makeup done professionally before.
Grainne played a significant role in making my wedding day truly special. Thank you, Grainne, for your incredible work!

Words won't do justice to how much of an asset Grainne is to a wedding. Grainne a make up is flawless and she has a true gift at highlighting your beauty and making you feel your best self , she listens and works with every one individually as she knows no two people are the same.
Outside of Grainnes insane talent, she is an absolute diamond of a human being. She has a warm and loving energy that you can't help but relax around, she knows how to create a fabulous atmosphere on the wedding morning and she has us all buzzing with the music playlists she had going. So much love , so many laughs and an incredible talent.
Grainne also captured some of the most incredible content from the morning, she could absolutely have a career in content creation if she wanted.

Grainne was great! I wanted a make up artist who would give me a natural look but with smooth skin and that is exactly what I got with Grainne. I would not be one for a lot of make up and that is how I felt. That is wasn't caked in make up. The make up was perfect for me and the Bridesmaids loved their make up also. Grainne gave me a list of what to get for touch ups through the day/night if I needed them and that was really helpful to have.

Grainne was an absolute delight! I had originally had a trial with another make up artist and was so deflated! Grainne paid such care and attention to me, we had many conversations where Grainne took the time to get to know me and my likes and dislikes. She was super professional and my god the results speak for themselves! I had so many compliments about my make up and the coverage was exactly what I wanted; the full face lasted into day two aswell! She really did make me feel like a princess. I was also super impressed with the care and attention she put into my bridesmaids also. I can never thank Grainne enough for contributing to marking my special day even more special.

Grainne was amazing from beginning to end, From emailing her to meeting at the make up trial right up to the wedding day. We discussed what type of look I wanted to go for and she 100% delivered. I couldn't have imagined my make up looking more amazing than it did I loved how she made my eyes pop in all my photos It was flawless. My Bridal party's make up was stunning also. Grainne is really friendly, professional and is an amazing make up artist and so helpful even helping us botton up our dresses . I would 100% recommend her to do your make up for your special day. You will not be disappointed

Grainne was my makeup artist for my wedding day, she did 6 peoples makeup on the day of my wedding. She done everyone's makeup in plenty of time. She was an absolute gem, she really transformed us all and made me feel and look so beautiful on my wedding day. My bridal party wanted a mix of a glam look and a natural look, Grainne just done exactly what we wanted. If you are thinking of using Grainne for your wedding day you would 100% be making the right decision. She really is so talented! She used Charlotte Tilbury and our make up looked flawless. The day before the wedding I got a really bad rash on my face and Grainne worked her magic and made my skin look perfect. I really cannot recommend her enough, she really went above and beyond on my big day, not only did she do our make up she also helped us all get into her dresses and helped us put on our jewellery, she also made sure to take loads of photos and videos on the morning and made them into a beautiful reel which really meant alot when you are waiting for ages for your wedding video and photos.

I had the pleasure of having Grainne look after myself and my bridal party for my wedding. This lady is a true professional in every way. No panic and everything done at ease which created the most relaxed atmosphere. I didn't get a trial done as I have been following Grainne and knew she knows her stuff and between myself and my bridesmaids we felt a million dollars. Makeup lasted until the next day and is absolutley fabulous in photographs. I can't recommend Grainne enough,a really fabulous makeup artist in every way.

I absolutely loved my makeup at my trial and felt it was exactly what I wanted. Grainne arrived in great time on morning and stayed until we were walking out the door even blowing out all the candles my mum had lit ,My makeup lasted through the day and even got day two out of my eyelashes they didn't budge She also did my 3 bridesmaids and my Mam and they loved it. Grainne is so chatty and you just feel at ease in her company automatically I would highly recommend her to anyone

I cannot recommend Grainne enough!!! As a person who wears very little make-up, I was fearful that I may not look like myself on the day of my wedding. I came upon Grainnes work online and instantly got in touch with her. She was so understanding. Time didn't allow for a trial and the morning of the weddings I had no fear, as I knew Grainne would work her magic. And so she did. My makeup, that of my sister and my mum was amazing. It was so natural and light. It lasted all day and so many guests commented on our make-up. Not only is Grainne extreme talented but we had a great laugh the morning of the wedding. She made everyone feel so relaxed and went out of her way to make sure we were happy. I cannot recommend Grainne enough. Thank you for making my wedding day so special ????

I could not recommend Grainne enough for anyone on the hunt for a bridal make up artist. I have previously had make up done with Grainne for events throughout the years so I didn't have to think twice when it came to deciding on who I wanted for our special day. The level of care & attention given to each make up application is second to none. We felt amazing & our make up stayed perfect all day long.

Myself and my 4 bridesmaids were delighted with our makeup which remained perfect the whole day, no rush, no panic with each of us getting exactly what we wanted. While completing your makeup grainne has such a lovely way with her, conversation flowing, calming the nerves! Not only did Grainne do makeup for bridal party she went over and above to ensure that other family members were looked after, for me she was my unofficial bridesmaid & I am delighted to have had her part of my special day, an amazing talented girl who takes such pride in her work ensuring you look and feel your best.

Grainne also helped out when the last mad hour came! She kept everyone calm and helped where ever she could help!
We would all highly recommend Grainne to any bride for there wedding day.

Grainne was amazing doing my wedding make up, even before the wedding she went out of her way to meet me in a different town to do a spray tan. My mam and sister thought she was amazing. My man never had her makeup professionally done and was nervous but Grainne immediately put her at ease and listened to what she wanted and didn't want and was delighted with the result. My sister still talks about how brilliant she was. If you book Grainne for your make up you will definitely not be disappointed.

I wear makeup every day and so I was quite anxious about having something different for my wedding day bridal makeup. Grainne was great - she was so professional in her approach, she listened to me and what I wanted. We had a bridal trial and Grainne put everything into practice. She achieved my desired look both at the trial and on my wedding day! My bridesmaid sisters were also very impressed and happy with Grainnes work. Not only is she a talented makeup artist - she is also a lovely person to have as company on your bridal morning. We look forward to my sisters wedding when Grainne will be our makeup artist again.

My bridal party absolutely loved her and she had great time & chats for my mam which was so lovely as my mam loves nothing more. She listens to exactly what you want and pulls it off perfectly. As a mature bride of 41 years old I was worried about those dreaded wrinkles/lines and how they?d cover up but Grainne just worked her magic like no one else had done before. So weather your a young or more mature bride and your looking for the perfect makeup artist well Grainne is your your lady all day long Xxx

Let me begin by saying, I cannot recommend Grainne highly enough. 10 days before our wedding, my original MUA had to cancel. I was at school (teacher) when I received the message. One of the SNA'S next door to me suggested Grainne. I rang Grainne on my break and she was incredibly helpful straight away. She needed to move a few things around initially which shows how much she cares about her brides and ensured me that everything would be grand. She was so lovely to deal with and chat to on the morning of the wedding and created the most gorgeous look for my mam, my bridesmaids and I. We were thrilled with the final result and all agreed that Grainne was a Saviour! I can't wait to get my make up done with Grainne again!

Grainne done my makeup for my wedding day, when I say she went above and beyond for me she truely did. I was in the middle of chemo and had lost my hair, my wedding day was not the day I planned, Grainne made me feel so at ease. As a beauty therapist myself, I can be fussy enough and I couldnt point out one fault in my makeup. My makeup stayed on perfect, as you would imagine it was a very emotional day for me due to my personal health problems and my makeup didnt budge. It felt so natural on my skin and just looked flawless throughout the day. My bridesmaids were also very impressed and if I was to repeat the whole day again I would definitely be having Grainne as my makeup artist because she is so beautifully talented and showed me nothing but kindness. ?You will be a very impressed bride, having Grainne part of your day ?

Simply put - I don't think I could have chosen better than Gráinne. Not only is she incredibly kind, and capable of putting even surely the most nervous bride at their ease on their wedding day, but she is also professional, timely, and provided amazing value for her services.
I am a woman who has suffered badly from acne through my life, and my makeup look was something I had agonised over. I don't wear makeup much day to day, so trying to strike a balance where I felt pretty, felt like my acne was minimised, but I didn't feel like I was wearing far too much makeup or not looking like myself was a very hard line to walk. I didn't need to worry. Gráinne was incredibly sympathetic, sensible, and her skills were such that I felt absolutely amazing.
My own bare skin was not flawless when I woke up on my wedding day, but I knew with Gráinne coming to make me up, I didn't need to worry, and I was right. My makeup was amazing - incredibly flattering, and covered everything I wanted covered without making me feel as if I were wearing a mask. I can't thank her enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day - something that I think every acne prone girl fears, but need not fear if they're lucky enough to engage Gráinne's services. I look at my wedding photos now and feel amazing about how I looked. For me, makeup was always going to be a huge part of that, so I hope Gráinne knows just how brilliant she is at her work, and how much what she does truly means to us blushing brides.
My whole wedding party loved her - and my mother, who did not even wear makeup on her OWN wedding day, was an absolute convert. She looked and felt fantastic, as did my mother in law, and bridesmaids. A special shout out from my bridesmaid who was only six weeks post-partum on my wedding day and really wanted to thank Gráinne for making her feel so calm and beautiful in the chair.
I can't recommend Gráinne enough. If you're lucky enough to be able to secure Gráinne for your big day, you're lucky indeed!
