I couldn't of been happier that I chose Pamela and Kelly Anne to do our makeup and hair for my wedding day. From the moment I met them at my trial we just were made feel so comfortable around them and the makeup and hair look they done was exactly what I had wanted. On the morning of our wedding when I seen the ladies arrive to my house I felt panic as it was all about to become real but they instantly made us feel calm and relaxed and this made the morning go so smoothly they had times to a tee and helped with when to get imto my dress and all little touches. We had a great laugh and even after they had finished their work they stayed on to help out and mixed with some of the guests that called to the house even done a bit of sowing!! Their professionalism but friendliness is still all talked about by ourselves but our guests too. I will definatly be booking in for any future occasions I have. I cannot say how highly recommended these 2 ladies are.

13th Sep 2019
I had been recommended Pamela by a friend and found her to be very easy to get on with. I didn't have a particular look in mind and left the look in Pamela's hands and I was so delighted with my trial that I went with Pamela's suggestions. Pamela also recommended a hair stylist who did an amazing job. On the morning of the wedding we had a very fun, and relaxed time getting ready. I had a few hic ups with numbers getting ready in the morning and Pamela was so good and accommodating and really helped me out. I was so happy with my hair and makeup that we are doing a final photo shoot and will be hoping to coordinate the photo shoot with Pamela so she can work her magic again.
Response from Pamela Matthews Make Up Artist
Ah thank you so much for the lovely words Edel, it was my pleasure looking after you and your party. We had a great morning. Cant wait to see what you have in mind for the final shoot xxx

We got married on 9th August I had Pamela for my make up and Michelle for my hair they were both so professional and made me feel so relaxed.I normally would wear makeup but Pamela gave me lots of tips on skin creams to use and color tones that would suit she even went as far as sending me color and make of lipstick I was going to be using how I could get a spare one for my day.Michelle also was so patient with me and took on board my style I preferred for my day.Both ladies were also on hand to help with other wedding matters for example helping my bridesmaids close up my wedding dress.I would highly recommended Pamela and her team not only do they give 100% to there profession they are also for caring kind and helpful.once again I would like to give a big thanks to Pamela and her team.

Pamela what could I put into words?she’s absolutely an amazing talented artist. Arrived at our house and from that moment on everything was so relaxed. Everything was done to professionalism from the moment she arrived until we were ready to walk out the door to walk down the aisle. Wishing Pamela every success in the future.

Pamela looked after myself and my bridesmaid for my wedding. I had followed Pamela online, and Pamela also came highly recommended by friends and previous brides. From my make up trial to walking up the isle, I was delighted with how we were looked after. Pamela's attention to detail allowed for perfect results. I was delighted with my bridal make up, which lasted well into the wee hours. Pamela was relaxed and calming throughout and was a joy to have around. Highly recommended

Pamela did absolutely amazing with the makeup for my bridesmaids, mother, mother-n-law, and me! I highly recommend her for your wedding day! Her sister also did the hair and I couldn’t have asked for a better duo! They also did the trial beforehand so it made me super relaxed when the wedding day came!

The ladies were just amazing ! From the moment I contacted Pamela to the moment I was ready and walking out the door to the ceremony room. I was so unsure about hair and KellyAnn was so understanding in the trial run and didnt even bat an eyelid when I changed the style the day before the wedding and Pamela just really nailed what I wanted and made it happen,my bridesmaids and mum were also so happy with their make up/ hair on the morning.It was really great having two ppl that worked so well together, they had a brilliant system and it kept the flow going while still being fun and exciting.The ladies made the morning really easy I was so chuffed with everything I could not recommend them enough !!!

I booked Pamela and KellyAnne to do hair and makeup for my wedding on 5th April 2019 in Dunboyne Castle for myself, my bridesmaid and my Mam. They were recommended to me by a friend and I was so glad I booked them both. From the very first time I made contact right through to my big day i found them very professional and friendly. I felt I could get in touch anytime for any queries I had. The morning of the wedding they arrived at the venue in plenty of time. They made me feel calm and relaxed. Nothing was rushed and they stayed to add the finishing touches right before I walked up the aisle. I would highly recommend them both and will definitely be booking them again for other special occasions.

I often go to Pamela Matthews for my hair, make-up and tan. Pamela and Kelly Anne, her sister, are fantastic at their job. They listen to your requests and are really creative and helpful. They work brilliantly together as a team. I recommend them to everyone I know! Keep up the great work ladies!!!

Pamela Matthews Make-up and Hair were so professional and looked after all my needs. My make-up didn’t move for the whole day. I gave Pamela an idea of what I had in mind and she turned it into reality. She is a perfectionist and it really shows in her work. I’d definitely recommend her
Response from Pamela Matthews Make Up Artist
Thanks a million for the kind words Christine. It was our pleasure looking after you, were delighted that you were happy with your hair & makeup. xxxx

Pamela and Kelly Anne did my make up and my hair, as well as the ones of my Mum, sisters and bridesmaid on the day of my wedding and everything was just perfect, everyone was so happy about their look ! As a bride, I was stressed about that part as I wanted to look my best still looking natural, Pamela managed to do just that ! She provided great advice during the trials, was very responsive to all my questions, very professional and making me feel much more relaxed about this part of the day ! Pamela was recommended to me and I would recommend her with full confidence to anyone !
Review by Peggy Smith
30th Jun 2018
Pamela and her team are absolutely incredible! I got married June 30th 2018 and Pamela literally was a life saver In so many ways! The team are so professional and just amazing at what they do, my hair looked fabulous all day and night! When I woke up the following day in my honeymoon suite my hair was actually still perfect and had hardly moved!!! I had a tattoo I wanted covered on my chest as well and Pamela worked her magic so well you couldn’t even tell I had make up over it! It simply just disappeared! On top of all of this we had some of the usual wedding morning dramas, photographers were late, which meant we ended up leaving late, Pamela and her team went above and beyond by taking photos of us all getting ready while we waited for the photographer, then they tidied over the house and locked up for us after we left!! You couldn’t get a better team of professional hair and makeup artists for your special day. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!!! One of my bridesmaids actually booked Pamela for her own wedding as she was so impressed with her team on my special day!
Response from Pamela Matthews Make Up Artist
Ah Peggy, thank you so so much! We were only too happy to help out that morning, we absolutely love getting stuck in on the morning of a wedding and doing whatever jobs need to be done! Its not everyday that a bride gets picked up in a helicopter to be brought to the ceremony so we were delighted to stay and catch a glimpse of that!! Was lovely seeing you again and catching up at Eilish wedding. Wishing you, Keith & Izzy all the best for the future xxx

31st May 2018
I chose Pamela and Kellyanne to do the hair and makeup for my wedding in 2018. The service and professionalism from the girls is second to none. They are amazing at what they do and I rebook them at any opportunity. My wedding fell during the big heatwave so it was an extremely hot day. I was worried about how my make up would last with the heat but it was immaculate all day. The girls put everyone in my house at ease that morning. They are super friendly and down to earth. I would recommend them to anyone without any hesitation.
Response from Pamela Matthews Make Up Artist
Thank you so much for the lovely review Ciara! Will I ever forget the heat that day...my poor lippies were even melting! Not complaining though, what's seldom is wonderful!! It was our pleasure looking after you and the girls and its been lovely having you back in the studio since then. Looking forward to catching up with you again soon. xxx

I couldn't recommend these two gals enough. I had found them through instagram and loved the natural style of both hair and make up. Pamela and Kelly Anne are just fantastic to deal with. From trial to big day, they were so friendly, helpful and put me at complete ease. Always quick to answer any queries. On the day itself, they were adaptable and accommodating and made us all stunning. The compliments were flying all day...I actually think people were in shock I could look like that! They are amazing at what they do
Response from Pamela Matthews Make Up Artist
Thank you so so much for the kind words Lorraine! You were such a stunning bride and the fact that you wore your mums dress made it so special! We are delighted to hear the compliments were flowing, you deserved every one of them! Wishing you every happiness for the future xxx

We had Pamela look after us the morning of my wedding and I honestly couldnt have been happier with everything. From our first contact with Pamela up until the end, everything was extremely professional, but also so very friendly, from tips and advice, to my look on the wedding day, everything was perfect. Would 100% recommend Pamela to anyone, have gone back to her on numerous occasions since and again, couldnt be happier.

From the moment Pamela was recommended by a friend I found her to be so professional - we had a trial and I explained the look I wanted to achieve she advised on products she would use that were best for the photographs etc - the finished look was stunning very soft and natural but flawless - on the morning Pamela arrived in plenty of time kept very calm working on my bridesmaids and then myself - i was in contact with Pamela on the lead up to the day nothing was a problem and her advice was second to none - I felt amazing in the day my makeup was stunning and since then I have booked Pamela for numerous events since and will continue to do so

Pamela and Kelly-Ann did my hair and make up for my wedding. They were both so friendly and professional. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Pamela and KellyAnn are just amazing. From make up and hair trial to the day of the wedding they were, and are, consummate professionals. They fitted in seamlessly on the morning of the wedding, juggling Bride, MOB and wedding party to make sure everyone looked and felt their absolute best. So chilled and efficient and yet such fun, it was a great start to our perfect day. Cannot recommend high enough. You'll feel fab and look flawless.

From the moment I contacted Pamela, it was fabulous. She listened to what I had a vision of, asked loads of questions and showed me different options at my trial. Kelly Anne was the same. On the morning of the wedding, everything was so calm and they were so good with my little girl. I wasnt sure if she would let us do anything with her hair, but Kelly Anne treated her like a princess and she was delighted with her big girl curls. My hair and makeup didn't need to be touched up all day or night. Couldn't fault anything with their service.

Pamela did my make up for my wedding, I rarely wear makeup so it was a big deal for me to get it right. Pamela listened to all my thoughts and worries but sure enough she got it just right, I was so delighted with the end result, subtle yet glamorous, I felt incredible! Thanks Pamela!
Review by Lorna
Pamela done my make up for our wedding in October I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome she was great on the day not only for been there as a professional make up artist but was there to calm the nerves and turned my plain jane face into fantastic work that would be seen in magazines. The trial that is offered was great as advise on how to prepare the skin for the number of weeks before the big day was amazing and I am still using the technique. I would highly recommend Pamela and would once again like to thank her for making my day even more memorable looking back at photos make up looks as fresh. Thanks again
Review by Sarah
Pamela did my make up for my wedding last June and I must say she was great to deal with and the finished product was amazing. From the point of contact until the minute she walked out the door just before I left for the church she was incredibly professional. Even before I booked her services she was always on hand, either by phone or email, to offer advice. Her tips on getting my skin in tip top condition before the wedding were great, while my make up on the day was just what I wanted; natural and flawless. I'm sure you'll see this Pamela so I just wanted to say a huge thanks and apologise for not saying it earlier. If this marraige doesn't work out you'll be on speed dial for the second one!!
