Debs was stupendous in every way. Our initial consultation was fun- she asked me all the right questions and explained her own approach to weddings and makeup. I don?t wear much makeup on an average day and I felt like she really listened and created a natural look that worked all day for the wedding and left me feeling beautiful and happy. The consultation was followed up by a suggestions for my skin type and suggestions about routine and health care leading up to the wedding. I was exhausted from work and travel in the months before and really needed these efficient tips to restore my face to its best self by the wedding.

On the day of, Debs was a reassuring voice and a calming presence. I can?t describe what a joy having her with us as we got ready was. It takes a special person to fit in with people you?ve known your whole life. Debs made everyone feel comfortable and managed to get me a break from arranging all-the-things when I needed it both. Life would be better in a lot of ways if Debs could be in charge on the regular.

In short? you couldn?t do better than Debs for makeup and skincare (and a bit of mental TLC). I really felt like my most beautiful self on the big day. Debs is simply someone who has an innate sense of what features make each woman most lovely. She did the very best job and was gracious, charming, and an all around pleasure 100% of the time. Finally, it?s worth noting that she has me enjoying makeup again after years ?off?.

Thank you for being so amazing on the morning, you were such a calming influence and just did such a great job on my make up. I felt absolutely wonderful and loved my look, so thank you very much. You made my mum and best friend feel fabulous too, they loved their looks and felt gorgeous all day long.

Deborah is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough. She is so lovely on top of being a very talented artist and such a perfectionist. I had a trial and was so delighted with the result so I booked her that day for my wedding. She came to my hotel fully prepared and did bridal, bridesmaids and mother of the bride make up. Everyone looked gorgeous and I never felt more beautiful. I was so happy with my bridal make up I booked her again to do my make up for my friend's wedding! I will be using her services again in future.

Response from Deborah Leonard Makeup Artist

Thank you so much for your kind words Charlene it was absolutely my pleasure. Loved doing your makeup and hope to see your beautiful face again. Hope all is going amazing.

From a simple enquiry about dates, prices etc to the actual day, Deborah was a true professional. She takes time to talk to you about your own personal skincare regime in the lead up to the day, what type of look you want and also what will suit you in terms of makeup. She talks to you about what colour and style your dress is and how your thinking of wearing your hair, what colour flowers, what colour bridesmaids dresses and if you're using flash photography - all of which has a bearing on your makeup. The big thing I wanted was 'not to look like someone else on the day'. I wanted to look natural and like myself and this is exactly what Deborah understood from me and my ideas were realised through her. I can't praise her highly enough, a true professional and an extremely talented artist. The photos from our wedding day were out of this world and are the proof of the pudding in this case.

A very make-up savvy friend recommended Debs to me for my bridal party and I can see why! She was not only a pleasure to have around that morning but someone I would go to again and again for special occasion make up! There were 5 of us to get ready that morning and she kept everything moving in a really calm but professional manner, ensuring everyone (especially me) felt and looked perfect once she was done! After my trial, she gave me specialised skincare advise for my skin type which is something I will use all the time, not just in the run up to the wedding. I've been asked multiple times since who did my wedding make-up. I think that says it all really!

Response from Deborah Leonard Makeup Artist

Hi Julie,

Thanks a mil for your kind review, it is really appreciated. I loved every moment of your wedding including my five star treatment at Castle Bellingham, well fed and watered. You were all so kind and the reason why I love my job so much.

Regards and Congrats,
Debs.

Deborah was such a pleasure to work with, in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. During our trial, she really listened to what I wanted and brought out the natural beauty in my gorgeous bridesmaids. I have never felt so comfortable and beautiful in make-up and that was all thanks to Debs. I couldn't recommend her more.

Deborah is more like a friend entering your home and making sure you get a warm and personal touch, much needed on your wedding day. She adds to the day rather than just providing a service. Not only that, in the lead up, she works with you in making sure you're excited about, and comfortable with, your look. She is extremely talented at what she does, and also great at putting you at ease and making you smile. I was never really one to like whenever someone else did my own make up but everyone was very happy with what Deborah did for us. She makes sure it's 'you plus'. Not anything you could do at home or anything that makes you look different or not yourself, rather she accentuates your own natural beauty, with top class products and service, to make you feel like your getting that celeb-like look. She adds to the whole process and doesn't add to the stress or pressure of it all, in fact she helps to take that away. I couldn't recommend more.

If there's ever a lady you need around you on the morning of your wedding to calm the nerves, it's Deborah. Her relaxed, but professional approach creates a sense a calm. And not to mention her work!! An artist Or miracle worker, not sure which but she's outstanding at what she does and made me feel extra special on my big day. I was delighted to recommend her to friends for their wedding and was delighted to have her do my makeup again when I was bridesmaid. Without hesitation, Deborah is the makeup artist for you.

Debby did my make-up (as well as my bridesmaids' and my Mum's) for my wedding last week. She is absolutely fantastic; did an amazing job with the make-up but also sorted out a veil and fringe emergency. She is totally professional, really listened and made sure that I was comfortable with 'the look'. She ensured that i looked like myself but a fantastically enhanced version that I never suspected existed!! I was confident and comfortable all day and didn't need any touch-ups at all!
Best of all, Debby managed to bring calm to a mad-house that morning, She had me feeling and looking super by the time I had to leave. A lovely person and great at what she does! Cannot praise her highly enough,
