Makeup & Skincare by GC

I had Grainne as part of my wedding on the 3rd of October. From the first time I contacted Grainne her professionalism was excellent. Grainne responded quickly to any questions. I had a trail with Grainne and was then very excited to have Grainne on the day of my wedding. Her makeup is flawless and makes you feel a million dollars. She is very calm and relaxed which is a great help on the wedding morning. The bridesmaids are still talking about her and how amazing she is at her job. She is a lovely person and if you book Grainne for makeup you are in for a treat.

Grainne is amazing.. from the time I booked, to the trial to the big day Grainne was a dream to deal with. Always very quick with replies to any of my messages & as for the make up it’s self all I can say is flawless… the coverage was amazing but not caked on, my skin looked amazing & the makeup lasted all day & night! It was still so perfect at bedtime it was nearly a crime to remove it! Her attention to detail was second to none & she catered to everyone in my bridal parties different skin types & requests. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Grannie was an excellent make up artist!

At the make up trail she went through everything with me and made sure I was happy with the end look.

On the morning of the wedding she six people she had to do make up for and everyone was delighted with how it looked!

I really can't fault Grannie, my make up looked flawless and it stayed on perfectly until the early hours of the morning! She was a pleasure to work with!

From the very beginning, Grainne was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her professionalism and kindness is outstanding from the trail to the morning of the wedding. I was completely in love with my makeup and my bridesmaids and mam were so delighted with their makeup. Thank you Grainne so so much for everything!

Grainne was fabulous! I contacted her to do my make up and she responded quickly with the services she offered. Unfortunately I would have loved her skincare package but living in the UK I was unable to utilise these. I was not back in Ireland until the week before the wedding but this was fine - my trial was accommodated and there was plenty of time to chat about what I wanted - when I left, I decided on a few changes but one quick message and I was perfect on the day. Grainne worked wonders on us all and was especially good with my junior bridesmaid who wanted the full works - she explained different options that would be more suitable for her and the agreed on what would be done. All of Grainne's make up was top quality and she stayed with us right until the last second for top ups and gave tips to help prolong our make up. I?d definitely recommend her to anyone!

Truly one of the best Makeup Artists. Grainne has an incredible wealth of knowledge on different products and colour palettes and how they apply to you specifically. She helped me find the perfect wedding look for me. She asked me for some examples of looks I liked and used those as a base to guide me on what was going to work for my skin and skin tones. When I had my trial I genuinely could not believe how amazing I looked. I had terrible patchy tan from my tan trial and she managed to blend my makeup to this and I looked flawless. My makeup on the actual wedding day was somehow even more stunning. I felt and looked the best I ever have. She made me feel at ease and confident in her company, nothing was too difficult or a problem. She really pushed me to be honest with her about how I felt about my look as she really wanted to make sure I loved it and that I was happy with it and I can see why, as on the day I felt so confident and actually felt I looked really beautiful. Feeling the way I did was priceless so she really valued my honesty as all brides deserve to feel like they look their best.

Grainne also helped me with so much more than just my makeup she helped with tips on wedding day prep for great skin, when to tan to get the most out of it, time schedules for the morning and even therapy on the morning! She is so calm and cool under pressure she helped create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere in the house on the morning and is genuinely the most beautiful person inside and out. She's like having one of the family round! I cannot recommend this woman enough. She's incredible value for money considering her expertise.

Thank you Grainne for such an incredible wedding day look! Everyone commented on how stunning my makeup was and I didn't need to retouch my face once. My looked lasted well into the late hours! You?re truly beyond talented at what you do and I'm so grateful to have had you with me on the day.

Grainne was makeup artist for my wedding in Moyvalley Hotel on 31st March 2023. Grainne is completely professional, detailed, calm and excellent at her job. From meeting Grainne for my makeup trial I knew I had made the right choice. We chatted away and at each makeup step she checked in to see what I wanted added or taken away and listened completely to what I wanted to look like on my big day. On the day of the Wedding Grainne arrived early to the cottage to set up and be ready to go for the first bridesmaid. She did an excellent job on all the girls makeup and I can't thank her enough for my own makeup, it was everything I wanted - Grainne made me look like a better version of myself and that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks again so much Grainne, my photos look amazing and that's down to your excellent work.

Absolutely radiant bridal makeup!!
Highly recommend makeup by GC if you are a bride to be looking for the perfect glowing bridal look on your big day.
Grainne is the sole person behind makeup by GC and is absolutely amazing at what she does. Grainne not only provides beautiful bridal makeup on the day but she also works to prep the skin in advance to ensure it is glowing and will really show off the makeup. My skin was in very dry condition when I visited Grainne for my bridal trial. Grainne worked to prep my skin over a series of 2 facials to get rid of the dryness so it would be glowing by the time the wedding came around and really show off the beautiful bridal makeup.
What I also love about Grainne is that she is super responsive. She gets back to her brides so quickly and you know your in safe hands. She was so helpful in creating the on the day look during the trial and really listens to what you like and also suggests what she thinks which is brilliant if your unsure. On the day, she made the whole bridal party feel at ease. She also bought the tunes which created a great atmosphere and stayed with us for final top ups right up to when we left for the ceremony. I can't recommend Grainne enough to all future brides who not only want a perfect bridal look but also who wish to improve the condition of their skin for the run up to their big day and following on after.

Grainne was absolutely incredible the morning of our wedding. She has a lovely calming presense which made me feel so relaxed. When looking for a supplier you always look at the quality of their service (which was impeccable) but you don't realise the impact they can have on the flow of the morning too. I was so happy to have Grainne there. The makeup she done was out of this world, everyone commented on it. She is a total perfectionist and wants all of the wedding party to feel a million dollars. Thanks so much for everything.

Grainne was an absolute dream to have to do my make up on my wedding day. She was so chilled and professional, all of my bridesmaids and my mother had a lovely time talking to her while she was doing our make up. Everyone (especially me!) was thrilled to bits with how we all looked when we were finished. The make up was flawless and lasted all day, only needing some lipstick as a touch up. Grainne is an absolute sweetheart and any upcoming brides would be so lucky to have her do their make up on their big day as I was and I would highly and wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride to be.

Grainne was my makeup artist for our wedding in April 2022 and was amazing from start to finish. Myself and my bridesmaids looked absolutely amazing and we all felt so confident on my wedding day. I had a makeup trial at Grainne's studio and I was very satisfied with the result, and felt very confident going into the day. The morning of the wedding was stress free, as Grainne arrived early in the morning with a plan in place. We would have been lost without Grainne that morning, she even looked after our little babies while we got photos. Grainne even managed to take some fabulous photos and videos of us getting ready, which we will cherish for many years to come. I would highly recommend Grainne to all future brides ? she will make you feel like a million dollars.

Exceptional make up artist to start! Followed by a beautiful personality super approachable, felt like Grainne was truely apart of the bridal party. Thank you so much for helping my cousin Charlotte to feel confident and as beautiful as she is. Xxx

Grainne was absolutely amazing and did an amazing job on my wedding makeup together with all the bridal party. I would highly recommend her. Fantastic service from start to finish.

Grainne is absolutely a delight to work with and makes you feel a million dollars before making you look it! I was so very lucky that Grainne was available to do my wedding makeup and that of my 4 bridesmaids. From first contact she was more than happy to help with any questions and had suggestions when I wasn't too sure of the final look. I asked if we could test it out for my hens and she was more than happy too. On the day she made everything effortless even with 5 girls to do! I loved my makeup it looked natural and I felt truly beautiful. Grainne is an amazing artist and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

very happy bride... my makeup was exactly how i asked grannie, she took her time and was very detailed... thank you
