Amelda Faherty Make Up Artist

Mayo & Connaght, Co. Mayo
 
Amelda first trained as a beauty therapist, then specialised in facial tutoring in the reknowned Bronwyn Conroy Beauty College Monkstown, before training as a makeup artist with MAC in Dublin. Amelda's philosophy: beautiful skin makes for amazing, flawlist makeup, so you'll be getting expert skincare and make up advice.Having worked in the make up and bridal industry for many years Amelda knows how important it is for a bride to feel herself and comfortable with her make up look on the most important day of her life, whether it be a natural,dramatic or defined look, ultimately its the brides call. Amelda will give her expert opinion and advice, but what the bride wants the bride gets - this is why a trial booked in advance is so important, skin condition, product advice, nails, eyebrow shape, false lashes, tanning all these will be discussed and can be arranged with Amelda.Trials are best to take place during natural day light to give a true reflection for bridal make up.Amelda uses Thalgo skincare which is based on seaweed and aromatherapy from France making it very gentle and % safe for brides. As regards make up brands, having trained with MAC Amelda does love their products but also has a lot of other key brands in the kit, Estee Lauder, Laura Mericer, Lancome and is always on the look out for any new products.If you have a mascara or lipstick you love, that's great, bring it along to the trial.After training and working in Dublin for many years, Amelda has relocated to Westport in Co. Mayo, working mainly in Mayo and the Connaught area, travelling to brides' home and hotels.

I was so delighted to have Amelda do my make up on the day of my wedding, Not only is she extremely talented and highly professional, she is also very bubbly and is an asset to any house on the morning of a wedding! She kept us talking, laughing and just became part of the family. My make-up was exactly how I hoped it would be. It was a pleasure having Amelda do our make-up, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for perfection!

Amelda did my makeup for my wedding in December. She is an amazing, talented person with a great love for her profession. Amelda is a perfectionist and my make up was flawless on the day. She used makeup that lasts the whole day and this was one less thing to worry about! I can whole heartedly recommend Amelda for any special occasion! True professional!

Amelda was a great person to work with towards my wedding. Very professional in every way possible. She went through pictures with me as to help me pick a make up look I loved. I had my tan,nails,lashes done the week of our wedding with Amelda and her excellent team of girls who were a joy. On the morning of our wedding Amelda called to my house and did all the make up in the bridal party and also some extras. We all loved our Mac make up and I can say it lasted into the next night for us all. I could not fault Amelda 's work in anyway. She has done all the weddings in our house in the last few years. Thank you Amelda for your amazing work as always . Xxx

Hi Amelda

Sinead Morris here from the wedding on May the 25th.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get in touch. Shane and I went on a long honeymoon trip so we were away for over two months, and we're still only getting on top of all the post-wedding stuff!

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for all your help with make-up, tan etc for me and all my bridal party/family. I was absolutely delighted with my makeup on the day, it was exactly what I wanted, and I thought you did a fantastic job with everyone else's makeup too. In particular I want to thank you for my Mum. She is a bit nervous when it comes to makeup and doesn't really wear it usually, but you listened to what she said and I thought her makeup looked amazing, very natural, but also special.

When you rang the doorbell that morning I was in a panic, because I just thought getting ready was going to be stressful, but you made us all feel so relaxed from the moment you got there. It was an absolute pleasure to have you there and we really enjoyed our time getting ready at the house.

I'll add a comment to your facebook page and please let me know if you would like some formal feedback for your website.

Thanks again for everything.

Hi Amelda,

I would like to say a big thank you to you on behalf of my mum, the bridesmaids and myself for all your hard work on the 21st June 2013 in Knockranny House Hotel. You did a fantastic job on all of us, and the make up lasted through the day and night without any top ups required.
You are extremely professional in every way and you made the morning of the wedding so relaxing.
Will definitely be recommending you to my friends if they ever need a makeup artist in the West.

Many thanks,

Hi Amelda,

Thanks for your lovely email.

Just to say a big thank you for doing such a great job - I loved my makeup and all the bridesmaids were delighted too. We all got lots of compliments on the day saying how nice our makeup looked and it also looked great in the photos!

The weather wasn't great but it didn't dampen spirits and we managed to get a couple of windswept shots at the beach!

Back in California now so back to reality...although the sunshine is making it a little bit easier to settle back in!

Again thanks so much for everything and helping to make my wedding day so enjoyable.
