Lida Hertel - Professional Make-up Artist

Lida is amazing!! I had alot of difficulty finding a make-up artist for my wedding day who would produce a lovely natural look, and by pure fate met Lida 2 weeks before my wedding date and booked her there and then after a simple trial, much to the dissappointment of the make-up artist I had booked, but whom I never felt completly happy with.
My sister, mother and I are very paticular about what we want, we don't wear alot of make-up and like to look natural, I found most make-up artists apply too much make-up, and I just wanted to look like me with a flawless face.
The testiment to Lida's work is that, one year on, my sister and mother still talk about how talented she is.
Lida arrived promptly, had 3 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and myself to do, and while we were all getting stressed, she was the personification of coolness, calmness and patience. I do not know what we would have done without her!!!!
I would highly recommend you use her.

I just have to start this by saying that I love makeup. I love doing my own makeup and was very nervous about giving someone else that responsibility on my wedding day. After a few trials in other places in town I was pretty convinced that I would do my own makeup for the wedding - until I booked a trial with Lida. She listened to what I said, got the look that I was going for and knew exactly how to achieve it? and apart from that she's a really lovely girl. I was delighted.
On the morning of the wedding, she was amazing. There were 5 of us who had to get our hair washed and styled as well as our makeup applied in 3 hours. She worked very well with the hairdresser and was so calm and confident that we'd all be ready on time and look amazing. She was right - honestly, I've never seen my bridesmaids and Mum look so gorgeous. I was absolutely delighted with my make up too. There wasn't one thing I would have changed about it. Lida was such a perfectionist, that I knew she wouldn't let me out the door until I looked perfect. Apart from a bit of lip-gloss now and then, I didn't have to touch up my make up at all. For make up to last from 12pm to 5AM that's pretty impressive.

I got married in September this year. One of hardest jobs I had was trying to find a make up artist, which I really didn't expect! After four unsuccessful attempts (rock chick look really wasn't good with a lace dress!!) I found Lida. The trial went really well and she listened to exactly what I wanted and even on the day she took me though every step to make sure I was happy. I was delighted with the results. My bridesmaids were equally happy...their makeup was such a success they nearly did a "Pippa" on me...but not quite!!! No top ups were needed during the very long day...so much to that at 5 in the morning we were still being complimented on our make up!! We have also just got our professional photos back and make up is flawless. One thing I would really like to mention is the fact that Lida was only booked to do myself and the bridesmaids. My mum insisted she would do her own, but on the day her nerves got the better of her and she was upset with her own efforts. Lida had no problem stepping into the breach and helping my mum out with no fuss...for which I am extremely greatful. I will definately be going to Lida again...just waiting for an excuse!!

Lida was recommended to me by a friend...I'd had a make up trial done prior to Lida and I just didn't feel it was the look I wanted for my wedding day ....thankfully Lida was available for my big day and did an absolutely amazing job....I'm quite fussy about my makeup but Lida listened to my concerns and put my mind at ease ... Thank u so much Lida the wedding photos speak for themselves

Lids came highly recommended to me by a friend and I'd also heard of her great reputation which she really stood up to on the day. I absolutly loved my wedding makeup and she knew exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaids were all so happy with there makeup as well and said it lasted all day for them. I was totally confident having Lida doing my makeup for my wedding and would definitly recommend her to any bride to be , thank you so much Lida.

I came across Lida on this site when I was faced with the task of finding a make up artist for my wedding day. The task of finding a make up artist was quite daunting as it's not something that I had much experience with. However, after viewing Lida's work I was immediately impressed and contacted her to get more information. Lida was so warm and friendly to deal with and we arranged to have a trial. Within a few minutes of meeting Lida I felt completely at ease and her skill and professionalism was really impressive. She created the look that I wanted which was natural and elegant. On the morning of the wedding, Lida did makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. Besides being so amiable and calm, all of us were really delighted with her work. As the bride, I felt like I was glowing and got lots of compliments about the natural look of the make up. The make up lasted perfectly throughout the day/night and I didn't have to worry about it all. I was really delighted that I chose Lida as my make up artist and would highly recommend her to other bride-to-bes. Thanks so much Lida!

It was pure chance that I came across Lida,but after the first five minutes I was confident that she would be the makeup artist I would hire for my wedding. Lida has the ability to understand immediately what sort of bride you are and what sort of makeup will compliment your wedding style. I have since recommended Lida to at least three of my friends who have also been over the moon with their makeup. My makeup survived the entire day and night and for the following week when we had a post wedding party Lida created an entirely new look which was also impeccable. I cannot recommend Lida enough and wouldn't hesitate to go to her again for any occasion.

I was recomended lida by a friend , and could't have been happier. She spend alot of time during the trial ensuring that we created a look that was both subtle and defined. So when it came to the big day i was relaxed and enjoyed the morning getting ready with my bridesmaids. The look Lida created for me was perfect , Thanks Lida !
