Fiona was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From our very first phone call, she listened carefully to what I wanted and made me feel completely at ease. She never pushed me toward a look I wasn’t comfortable with, which I really appreciated. During my makeup trial, she shared invaluable skincare advice to help me prep my skin for the big day, and it made such a difference.On my wedding day, I was beyond thrilled with my makeup—it was exactly what I wanted. I looked like the best version of myself, and it felt so natural and comfortable. Fiona was equally wonderful with my bridesmaids, mom, nana, and sister-in-law. Everyone looked stunning, and they were all so happy with their makeup.Fiona’s professionalism, talent, and warmth made her a joy to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough for your wedding or any special occasion. She’s simply fantastic!
I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough for Bridal Makeup! I am so incredibly grateful that Fiona was able to do makeup for myself and my bridal party. She did an amazing job for my sisters bridal make up so it was an easy decision to book with her. From the first phone call through to the wedding day itself, Fiona made the experience so easy! I am so happy with how I looked on the day. She is a true perfectionist!
I booked Fiona for a one to one makeup lesson, and I got SO much more than I expected from the afternoon.Fiona is professional, knowledgeable & great fun. She took the time to understand my needs, current (so so) skills, and the look I wanted to achieve and tailored the entire session for me. She broke everything down step by step in an easy to follow way and I left able to create a makeup that really suits & flatters me (I get so many compliments on how well I'm looking now) plus lots of game changing skincare tips and a new found confidence when I'm shopping for makeup.Honestly if you've ever thought about improving your makeup skills, or want to treat yourself to a fun, confidence boosting experience, book a lesson with Fiona now! You'll be so glad you did!Brid
My experience with Fiona was incredible! As a makeup artist and aesthetician from the US, I am very picky about my makeup and skin. Fiona’s services were incredible from her scheduling, our trial, the day of. She used the best products for my skin, prepped my face and stayed with me for the touch ups! My girls also all looked phenomenal. Fiona is brilliant, kind and goes the extra mile for her clientele. I’m very lucky to have had her on my day. Thank you so much Fiona!
Response from the owner: Jackie it's always an honour to be chosen as a bride's make-up artist but when that bride is an incredible makeup artist herself, the honour is another level! Thank you for choosing me to bring your bridal makeup vision to life, you were amazing to work with and an absolutely stunning bride, my best wishes for an amazing 2025 - your first year as a Mrs & Mr x
Highly recommend - Fiona, did my bridal makeup in May 2024. I found the process relaxing and enjoyable, and she was easy to communicate with. She uses high quality products and really understands skin types and skin colours - this was key for me as I have an ethnic skin type. After my trial at her studio I was encouraged to feedback and we talked through any issues and tweaks. On the morning of Fiona was a calming presence despite a tight timeframe. I recived many compliments, loved the final look and it lasted until 3am with minimal touchups. Thank you Fiona!
Response from the owner: Soraya you were a joy to work and a vision on the day. A fabulous morning with you, I would love to see you again any time in the studio if you visit Dublin, my best wishes for an exciting year ahead xx
Fiona is an amazing artist who really knows her stuff. She gave me some good advice that was relevant to my skin type and used quality products and tones that matched my skin tone. She was so calm and thoughtful on my wedding day and really added to that special morning. I was so well taken care off and she was brilliant with my wedding party’s make up requests as well. Highly recommend Fiona x
Response from the owner: Reena you beauty, thank you for the lovely words and thank you for choosing me to be your bridal makeup artist, it was a joy to look after you. Such a fun filled morning, I left with aching cheeks from the laughter. You were amazing, come back to the studio sometime so I can paint your lovely face again x
Booking Fiona for my Wedding was one of the best decisions I made. She brought such great energy and enthusiasm to the room on the day and helped all of us relax and enjoy the morning. And her work was just magic, I was so thrilled with how my make up turned out, as was everyone else. By the end of the night we were all marvelling at how our make up still looked perfect after 4 hours on the dancefloor! She really helped make the day so special on top of doing such beautiful make up. Thank you Fiona!
Response from the owner: Aisling thank you for such lovely words and thank you for choosing me as your bridal makeup artist, I LOVED your bridal look - it honestly was a standout for me, the details and the crown - wow!!! Just a gorgeous morning with you all, and of course I'd love to see you again anytime in the studio x
Fiona made me feel so relaxed and listened to what I wanted, gave me great tips and I walked out feeling very confident, highly recommended
Response from the owner: such a pleasure to have you here Fiona, hope you had an amazing night! Look forward to seeing you again in the studio 🙂
Fiona is a truly an INCREDIBLE artist! She knew exactly how to make my wife and I look absolutely stunning for our destination wedding! Fiona worked with us to make sure that we were both able to have make-up trials once we arrived in Ireland the week of our wedding. During our make-up trials, she made both of us feel comfortable and taught us both so much about make-up for our own daily usage. On the day of the wedding, Fiona brought a great sense of humor and a reassuring presence. She did the make-up for both myself and my wife, our mothers, and our bridal parties. There is no question that we made the right choice for our wedding day!
Response from the owner: Katie it was a dream to work with yourself & Victoria, what a day at the Cliff at Lyons, it was magical 🙂 So happy that you both were happy and the fact that took tips away for your day to day make-up is literally the cherry on top for me! I think you need to come back for a vow renewal and we can do it all over again 🙂 Happy New Year to you both x
Fiona was absolutely amazing as my wedding makeup artist. Her expertise, relaxed nature and fun made me feel absolutely amazing on my wedding day. She was incredibly knowledgeable, listening to what style I liked & making it work for a wedding. I wanted a no makeup look but still with lots of coverage to hide skin conditions, and Fiona expertly delivered! She was also amazing for my mam, who was nervous about having makeup done, and absolutely LOVED hers! The makeup lasted all day, with all of the bridal party delighted. I will definitely be using Fiona again for any occasion I have coming up - thank you Fiona!
Response from the owner: Lizzie really delighted you loved your make-up and I brought your vision to reality 🙂 You were excellent at following the skin tips which really do help with the finished look. Love the way we went for more colour on the lip the morning off too. Really thrilled that your mam was happy as I know she was apprehensive about the process. All of you looked fabulous but Lizzie you were just sensational when all the pieces came together - the hair, the dress, the make-up - jaw dropping! Excited to see the professional pics, Hope to see you soon x
Fiona is a truly wonderful makeup artist. She helped me figure out the look I wanted and executed it to perfection. She was also just a lovely person to deal with, from the very first phone call, to the trial and the wedding day she put me at ease. On the wedding day she had a Spotify playlist ready to go and was so happy it made everyone feel in a good mood. I couldn't have asked for a better start to the day. I felt really beautiful and love how I look in the photos 🥰
Response from the owner: Ahh Emily thanks so much for your lovely review. I truly loved looking after you for your big day, your sense of style is just amazing and I am still not over your jumpsuit - just wow! I loved the way everything came together and your happiness and confidence and literally radiating from your pictures. Love to see you again any time in my studio xoxo
Fiona is a true Rockstar!Trust me when I say you want this woman in charge of your face for your wedding day!I am from the US and was unable to fly in for a bridal make-up trial but, throughout the whole coordinating process, Fiona put me at ease and I knew I had nothing to worry about.Once I met her, I fell in love (literally!) not only is she gorgeous on the outside but, she is a warm caring soul who was able to help me relax and enjoy my wedding morning.She listened to my likes and dislikes and she NAILED IT!I cannot recommend her enough and wish I lived closer so that I could have her do my make-up for more events.Thank you Fiona for making me look and feel like royalty for my big day, I am eternally grateful to you!xoDiana Galan
Response from the owner: Diana you are AMAZING! A fantastic morning with you all in Cabra Castle, you looked simply amazing 🙂 Thank you for booking with me, thank you for trusting in me without a preview and thank you so much for sending me on the pics and these kind words. You were a total joy to look after and please please please come to me again if you visit Ireland xoxo
Fiona is so talented at what she does! I LOVED my make up on the day and so did all of the bridesmaids and the moms. I felt so beautiful. She also kept us all in good moods and calm. I highly recommend booking Fiona!
Response from the owner: Amy thank you so much for choosing me as your make-up artist and trusting in me to make your vision come true without a preview. A privilege to spend such a special morning with you and your lovely girls, I hope our paths cross again, thank you so much for sharing the fabulous pro pics with me xoxo
I recently worked with Fiona on a modern wedding styled shoot and I was so impressed with her work. She is so creative and talented. The various bridal makeup looks she did were so elegant and flawless. The range of products she uses are all high end. I would highly recommend Fiona for brides seeking Irish based professional makeup artists for their wedding.
Response from the owner: Elle thank you so much for your kind words, I am in awe of your beautiful designs, you are truly a master of your craft. As well as seeing your breathtaking designs in person, it was such a pleasure to be in your company for the day 🙂 . I cannot recommend your talents enough to couples that are seeking bespoke fine art stationery & stunning signage for their special day.
Fiona is a star, she knew exactly how to make me feel pampered before during and after my big day. From the trial to the day off she provides top class VIP service and attention to her clients. She made me look and feel so refreshed and calm and beautiful. I hadn’t even gotten a chance to view my glam until well after the getting ready photos but wow I was stunned. Her and her team were able to do my entire bridesmaid party + two moms! She was an expert in her knowledge of the makeup used and also added a bit here and there to help me stay present. Please PLEASE consider booking her for your big day, you’ll be in great hands!
Response from the owner: Danica thank you so much for choosing me as your wedding make-up artist, an honour to look after you and your wedding party in Ireland. It was such a fun morning and you were just breathtakingly beautiful, every detail was simply perfection. I am thrilled the sun shone for your special day, the pictures look amazing thank you for sending them on. Hope you both are keeping really well and enjoying married life xx
Fiona did makeup for me, my mum and bridesmaids on the morning of my wedding in December 2023. I was nervous about having my makeup done as I'd had some not so great experiences in the past. When I met Fiona at my first makeup trial, her warm, friendly personality put me at ease straight away. Fiona took the time to ask me lots of specific questions about what I wanted and she really, really listened to me. As a result, I trusted her completely. Fiona did a spectacular job on my makeup and the girls' makeup on the wedding morning. Everyone was so happy that they looked like themselves, just better versions of themselves! I for one felt like a million dollars! And this gave me the confidence to walk up the aisle with a big smile on my face. My makeup photographed beautifully and it lasted all day and night until I washed it off 5am. It was lovely to have Fiona there as part of my wedding morning. I enjoyed the chats with her in the chair and I appreciated her calming influence when things became a little chaotic towards the end of the morning! I can't recommend Fiona enough. She is a consummate professional, an expert at her craft and meticulous in her attention to detail. At the same time, she is completely down to earth and a really lovely, genuine person to deal with.
Response from the owner: Niamh thank you so much for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist, you were a total dream to look after and I enjoyed every single second of looking after you, the chats at your preview and the fabulous morning of the day itself. Loved loved loved your vintage styling and the way the whole look came together for you on the day 🙂 Would love to see you again any time in my studio Niamh x
I was so lucky to find Fiona for my wedding day! She was absolutely brilliant, from the make up trial in her beautiful studio, to advice on skin care and prep leading up to the wedding. From the beginning I felt so comfortable and relaxed and confident that she would make me look my best. On the morning of the wedding Fiona really brought the vibe and made it so special, kept me calm with lovely essential oils and made sure I ate breakfast. She went above and beyond and really added to the excitement and good vibes on the morning of the wedding! I was so so happy with my make up and got so many compliments. My bridesmaid, mother and grandmother were all equally happy with theirs! Thank you so much Fiona for making me look the best version of myself!
Response from the owner: I feel lucky that you booked with me Jennifer, what a pleasure to look after you from our first chat through to your wedding day. A really gorgeous morning with you all in the fabulous penthouse, so happy the sun came out for you. You were a stunning bride Jennifer, really gorgeous, your taste is exquisite and I'm not at all surprised that you have started your amazing new wedding business - Cirq Bridal Boutique, an amazing concept for brides searching for their dream dress and also selling their dream dress after the big day - it is sure to be huge success. I look forward to seeing you again soon when I pop by 🙂
What can I say?! Fiona had her work cut out for her with us... 2 non-makeup wearing brides and their bridal gang! But she took it like a trooper and glammed us up. From the initial email right through to the morning of our wedding Fiona was amazing. Her kindness, efficiency and knowledge kept us all so calm on the wedding day. Taking the time to prep us before our makeup with a relaxing face massage was so extra and just what you need to chill out a bit.Can't recommend Fiona enough, thank you so much!
Response from the owner: Kate thank you co much for your kind words. You both were a dream to look after for your big day, meeting you in person in the studio I knew it was going to be a special one 🙂 You both have such a sense of style and wow did everything come together gorgeously on the morning. Thank you for sending me on the pics, much love to you both xoxo
Fiona did our wedding makeup for is a couple of weeks ago and WOAH we were so impressed. She was brilliant, not just with us, but with our whole bridal party. Everyone felt so special and beautiful. As brides, we received some special treatment with a lil face massage and eye gels to prepare before the makeup started and it all just helped with the big day preparation.Thank you Fiona for everything x
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Natalie, it was a total pleasure to work with yourself & Kate. That you both felt special & beautiful is everything to me especially as you are not day to day make-up wearers. Your dress & Kate's two piece were absolutely class, thanks for sharing the pics and thank you for choosing me as your make-up artist xx.
Fiona is amazing! I was really happy with my pre-trial make up and had one or two minor changes that Fiona changed for me (a lip colour and a darker eye)Fiona is way more than a make up artist - On the morning of the wedding she was brilliant, her experience in not only her craft, but in handling the many different emotions and feelings i had throughout the day as well as advising me to eat enough that morning when she arrived and to have some food to nibble on throughout the day as i wouldn't want to the closer the time got and she was so right! She calmed me with essential oils when i was feeling a little bit nervous, she had a special tool to button up my dress! She had everything covered. She knows her trade and her brides so well. My make up for the day was absolutely perfect. It lasted all day and night, i felt beautiful and i would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Response from the owner: Well Jill that just caused an explosion of happy tears 🙂 Thank you so much for your lovely words, it really means the world to me. I feel so so lucky that I get to live my passion every day and look after gorgeous people just like you. You really are such a beautiful person inside and out and an absolute joy to look after. I hope I will see you again on my chair soon xoxo
Fiona was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was quick to respond to my enquiries, did a brilliant job during my trial and topped herself on my wedding day - everyone in the bridal party was delighted with their make up! A lovely and talented lady to have on around on a such an important day.
Response from the owner: Alphie you were simply a joy to look after, what a fabulous morning with you, your pals and your lovely mam - a perfect end to 2023. You were absolutely stunning, thank you so much for having me be part of your special day. Please do send me on the professional pics and if you visit again I would love to see in the studio 🙂
Fiona did my makeup for an awards ceremony in Nov! I gave her full creativity with the look and she completely transformed me! She really made me feel at ease as it was my first time getting my makeup done. I felt fabulous and I got so many compliments all night!! I ended up buying the foundation that was used on me as it photographed so well.I've already rebooked for a few events I have coming up. Can't recommend Fiona enough! 💫
Response from the owner: Sophie an absolute pleasure to paint your gorgeous face, I love that you picked up the foundation we used and I can't wait to have you on my chair again 🙂 xx
I first worked with Fiona 4 years ago when she did makeup for my wedding. The makeup was perfect! She brought such a sense of calm and organisation to the day. My bridesmaids were so impressed, both asked her to do makeup subsequently as a bride and for professional headshots. Fiona has since done my and my family's makeup numerous times including for my grandmother for her birthday. This year myself and my mom also enjoyed a fantastic makeup lesson with Fiona!
Response from the owner: Aisling thank you for your lovely words, there is no bigger compliment than when you get to works with lovely clients like yourself, you mum, Ciara and your friends again and again. It is always a total pleasure to paint your face and have the chats and I look forward to seeing you all again soon 🙂 xx
Fiona was a dream to have as a makeup artist for my wedding day. From the first time I contacted her she was so professional and made sure to reply quickly to any queries I had. At the trial she was personable and listened to how I typically wear my makeup and the ideas I had for my look on the day. On the wedding day she brought everything you could think of with her and she was so organised. Fiona was amazing with the bridesmaids and the mammies, listened to everything they wanted and gave advice on their makeup and what would suit each person. Everyone was complemented for their makeup! She is such a kind and calming presence to have on the morning and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your lovely words Hannah, I absolutely loved looking after you. Such a gorgeous morning, you look absolutely sensational, so elegant and beautiful. I can't wait to see the professional pics from Olga. Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful gifts on the morning, so much appreciated, you are a sweetheart xx
My make-up session with Fiona was wonderful and one of the most empowering “treats” I have gifted myself in recent years. I have always been a “less is more” sort of gal so never had much of a make-up routine. I had a special birthday coming up & wanted something more dramatic for my party but which made me look my very natural best. The result was nothing short of stunning - I was still me but people were blown away! Fiona is an absolute professional with deep experience & a genuine interest in her clients & what they want to achieve. Her studio is amazing. I enjoyed my trial session & the actual make-up session so much that I am definitely booking back in with Fiona for a make-up lesson & getting gift vouchers for friends! Thank you so much Fiona 🙏🏽🤗
Response from the owner: Ahh Pamela thank you for your lovely words. It give to so much joy that you felt so great, to me make-up is as much about feeling great and confident as looking fabulous. I adored having you on the chair and our chats and I am really looking forward to seeing you again soon xoxo
Everyone felt great getting their make-up done! Fiona gave me the look that I wanted for my bridal make-up. She listens and advices. Make-up lasted all night! A pleasure to have on a busy wedding morning!
Response from the owner: Nazreen thank you so much for having me as your make-up artist on your special day. Such a lovely morning with you all, you were an absolutely stunning bride. I'd love to have you on my chair again any time you visit Dublin x
Fiona did the makeup for my wedding and did an amazing job on my mam, my mother in law and myself. We were all really pleased with our final looks. The make up held up great all day and we all felt like the best versions of ourselves.Aside from doing an amazing job, she made the morning feel lovely and relaxed and shared lots of little tips and tricks while we were getting ready. How to hold the bouquet, the spritz of lavender spray to calm me down when the nerves hit... couldn't have asked for more! Would highly recommend her for anyone who is getting married.
Response from the owner: Ann-Marie thank you so much for your lovely words. Such a truly relaxed enjoyable morning with you and the lovely mams. Your look came together absolutely beautifully, the vintage dress was sublime. Thank you for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist xxx
Fiona has been doing my makeup for the last 8 years and there is NOBODY I would trust more to paint my face. She is exceptionally talented, insanely knowledgable and a beautiful person inside and out. I could not recommend her more.
Response from the owner: Lauren what can I say, you are my MUSE!! I would paint your face every single day if I could. I love the way you give me carte blanch each time I see your beautiful face and you always looks sensational. Cannot wait to see you again soon xoxo
I could not recommend Fiona enough! She was amazing on my wedding day last weekend and in the run up to the event. Fiona made us all feel like a million dollars and I am particularly grateful for 1. how calming (yet fun) she was on a manic morning and 2. how much she looked after my mum, who was a bit apprehensive about getting makeup done. From the point of booking, Fiona was very responsive via email and was SO attentive at my trial- she really is passionate about getting the makeup perfect for each bride, no matter what their style or requirements. I've been a bridesmaid many times in the past and had makeup applied, but not sure I've ever had it stay so well into the early hours as it did this weekend- no touch ups needed for anyone! I am useless when it comes to my skin care routine, and was very grateful to get advice from Fiona on the run up to the wedding, to make sure I was prepped and ready for the big day. Thanks so much Fiona- I am really grateful and hopefully have a reason to get my makeup done with you again in future!
Response from the owner: Cheryl thank you for your lovely review and thank you for choosing me to be part of your special day ! I would only love to paint your gorgeous face again so please don't be a stranger 🙂 I thoroughly enjoyed the morning, so much fun and great chats with your lovely mum. You looked really sensational Cheryl, I can't wait to see the pro pics. Keep up the great skincare, see you soon again I hope xoxo
I had the pleasure of working with Fiona, a truly talented makeup artist, for my wedding day, and I could not have been happier with the results! Her attention to detail and expertise were evident from the very start. She did an amazing job, and me and my sister's make up looked beautiful the day of. She listened to my preferences and made sure the makeup matched my natural features. The makeup not only looked beautiful in person but photographed beautifully as well. Additionally, she was incredibly helpful the morning of with any pre-wedding needs. I highly recommend reaching out to Fiona to anyone in need of makeup services for a special occasion. Her work is exceptional, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
Response from the owner: Sarah what a joy to look after you for your wedding day, you were a dream to work with. You looked absolutely beautiful and it looks like you had the most fabulous day, this makes me very happy. Wishing you & Ryan so much happiness and joy in this newest exciting chapter of your love story xoxo
Fiona took such good care of me and my girls on my wedding day, I cannot recommend her enough! First off I absolutely LOVED my make-up, my husband couldn't stop raving about how natural it looked - I just felt like the most elevated and beautiful version of me! Secondly, from the prep she did first thing all the way through to touch ups I just felt so looked after and she brought the perfect energy to a chaotic morning. And last but not least she made my mom feel so beautiful too, it was just so special to see how beautiful she felt let alone looked because my mom doesn't pamper herself often. Not to mention it was an extremely warm day and our make-up lasted perfectly all night long!Fiona was amazing to work with from first outreach, to accommodating my trial while we were visiting in from overseas, to the day of treatment - she just thinks of everything and I cannot thank her enough!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your lovely review Ashley, it was a joy to look after you on your wedding day, I am so happy you loved your make-up and I am thrilled your mom felt beautiful and had a great morning, it was such a big day for her! I cannot wait to see the professional photos from Michelle! Wishing you and your new hubby so much happiness and hope our paths cross again Ashley x
Fiona was a dream to work with - Super focused on attention to detail and was interested in making sure I had exactly what I wanted, and looked exactly how I imagined for my wedding day. She was also a huge asset in keeping me calm on the day, helping with my costume for the day, and just generally being a very calming presence throughout. I cannot recommend Fiona enough, thank you so much.
Response from the owner: Seunghyun it was a privilege to bring your bridal make-up vision to life and get it perfect for you, and a real honour to see you in your beautiful hanbok, thank you for trusting me as your bridal make-up artist and these very kind kind words that have made my day x
Fiona is the most incredible make up artist who made our morning. From first contact, Fiona has been accommodating and so easy to work with. My trail was super and gave me great confidence and excitement for what i wanted on the day. So by the time it got to my wedding morning, it was like seeing a friend. Fiona kept us all calm and gave us amazing confidence with out beautiful make up. Fiona's colour matching is sensational and the bridal party absolutely LOVED their looks. I would 100% recommend Fiona to anyone getting married.Thank you for the best morning and making me feel so beautiful.

Absolutely delighted that everyone felt gorgeous & confident with their make-up, I just love working with all skin tones and custom blending that perfect base makes me SO happy 🙂 Hope you had the best day ever and can't wait to see some of the pro pics xx
Straight away from the first call with Fiona I knew she was the person to trust with my wedding day makeup. From the trial in her studio, we spent some time to determine my look and leaving the trial, I was sure what I wanted.On the day she was super calming and relaxing.The bridesmaids and my mam looked amazing. My mam doesn't wear makeup so was a little anxious beforehand but once on, she really liked it. My look was perfect and I had so many compliments from people on the day.I would 100% recommend Fiona for your wedding makeup. There is no question that I made the best choice for my wedding day!
Response from the owner: Yvonne thank you for such a lovely review, it was a pleasure to look after you and your family and I was delighted your mam was happy and felt relaxed and confident, it was a huge day for her as well. Thank you so much for booking with me and thank you for the professional pictures, you just look gorgeous. I look forward to the next time we meet x
Fiona was my make up artist for my wedding day in April and she was brilliant. She was so well organised, so calm and was really helpful on the day. She made me feel so special, at ease and we had a really lovely morning getting ready before the wedding. She was so good with my Mum, cousin and bridesmaids, they all looked beautiful. I loved my make-up, it was exactly what I wanted and all of our make-up lasted all day and night. She helped make me feel like my best self!Her attention to detail and make up skills are amazing. She uses a lovely lavender spray to help keep you calm and really looking forward to the day ahead and bring you back in to the moment. And the cute little sachets with some key essentials, tissue and blotting paper to bring with you for the rest of the day.I knew from the first email exchange and then make-up trial that Fiona had to be part of my day. The trail was brilliant. I really enjoyed it and learned so much. She gave me brilliant advice at the trial, which I followed to help prep my skin in advance of the wedding, and am still following today as it has helped my skin so much. She is the ultimate professional, so caring and diligent, she really helps make the whole experience so special. I would not hesitate to recommend Fiona to anyone looking for an amazing make-up artist to help you on your special day. I've already been recommending her to all my friends! Thanks so much Fiona, we all had a wonderful time with you and we have some very special memories from the morning of the wedding and in to the rest of the day.
Response from the owner: Niamh thank you so much for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist, it is always extra special when a past bridesmaid gets in touch for her own big day. I was so happy that my skincare recommendations worked out so well for you, it is amazing the difference the right routine and products can make in a relatively short time! You were an absolute treat to look after in every sense, I loved your bridal style and nothing will top the bridal transport for the church, so cool! Hope all is going great in your new house and I know I'll see you again at some stage and I'm looking forward to it 🙂 x
Fiona is by far the most amazing makeup artist that has ever done my face. She knew EXACTLY what I wanted for my wedding, the trial was above and beyond my expectations as she gave me the most incredible advice on hydrating my skin before the big day.Speaking of my wedding day, she took her time on each of my bridesmaids, my mom and mother-in-law, and myself and enhanced our best features without overdoing it! We all felt immensely beautiful and confident, and the makeup I had on lasted the whole day and night (even when I teared up a few times!)If anyone is getting married in Ireland, I would highly recommend Fiona! I’ll be sure to use her again for any special occasions in the future. Thank you so much Fiona for making me the loveliest bride x
Response from the owner: Nadine you beauty, thank you so much for these kind words. It was an honour to look after you on your special morning and I am so delighted my skincare advise worked out great for you. Your whole look was really beautiful and I can't wait to see some pro pics. And of course I would love to paint your face again anytime in my studio 🙂 x
Fiona is the BEST! Her services came highly recommended and she did not disappoint! We traveled from the US for my son’s wedding and Fiona was prompt, personable and made my daughter & myself look beautiful for the wedding! We couldn’t have been happier! Thank you, Fiona!
Response from the owner: My dear Nancy what a fabulous morning with yourself and your lovely daughter in the beautiful setting of Kilkea Castle. It was a privilege to look after you both on such a special morning, you both looked so fabulous in your gowns. Thank you so much for booking with and of course please get in touch if you visit again 🙂
Fiona was the makeup artist for my wedding in May (2023). She was absolutely amazing. She alwasy replied to my eamils very promptly and I felt so relaxed after the make up trial - I knew I had picked the righ tperson then!We were all thrilled with our makeup on the big day and it really lasted for the whole day. I also got day 2 out of the lashes as well which was great! But what really meant even more to me was Fiona's calming and grounding presence amidst the madness.I thought I was fine in the morning but as the time ticked by I was getting a bit hyper or panicky. Fiona was so good to have in my corner and I wasn't expecting that extra help. We had great fun with her as well - she was just amazing so Fiona, thank you so, so much for that! You were amazing!
Response from the owner: Fiona - YOU were amazing! - thank you so much for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist. I loved every second of looking after you and had great fun with you all on the morning. I am delighted to hear you got day 2 out of the lashes, hope you didn't sleep in the make-up ;). You looked absolutely stunning, as did the girls and I just know you had so much fun for the weekend. See you soon again I hope x
I could not recommend Fiona more. She was a complete professional, both in the lead up to the wedding, and on the day of.Fiona had such a calming presence on my wedding day and was great craic too!My make up was better than I have ever managed to do myself and it gave me such confidence on the day.
Response from the owner: Linda thank you so much for your lovely words, it was a total pleasure to look after you and you looked so gorgeous on the day, I really appreciate you sending the pro pic. Hope to see you again in the studio x
I wish I had done it years ago!I recently booked a 1:1 make up lesson with Fiona. I'm in my early 30's, I've been playing with make up for years but I never learnt the techniques or the products that make a difference.With Fiona, we sat down and reviewed my make up bag. It was a fantastic experience, she is a professional and can tell straight away what suits best and recommend the best products based on my needs.She took the time to answer all my questions and let me practice under her guidance. I have learnt so much in 2h, I'm glad I wrote notes.By the time the lesson was over, my makeup was beautiful and I felt so confident.Thank you Fiona!
Response from the owner: Marion thank you for such a lovely review, I am delighted to took so much away from our session, it makes really happy when I help my lovely clients not only to look great but feel empowered and confident. Enjoy your new found skills, keep in touch - I am on hand for help or advice 🙂 x
Fiona is absolutely incredible. From the get go, she makes you feel like you can count on her for any help you need for your big day. The make up trial was collaborative and such a fun experience, and my wedding day… she was just such a joy to be around. She took care of me, went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy and the make up was fantastic. It looked fresh till 3.30am and she managed to make me look like myself, only much much better! And everyone in my bridal party felt taken care of too. She listened to everybody’s vision and brought it to life. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Response from the owner: Devina you sweetheart! From our first call, I knew I was going to love looking after you! A magical morning with your fabulous family and friends in The Station House, you were all a joy to be with. You are stunning - never forget that! - and I can't wait to see you again in my studio x
My daughter and I spent a fantastic afternoon with Fiona. Prior to the lesson I wasn't confident in how I applied my make up. I came away feeling like a million dollars. I was really looking to putting into practice all the advise Fiona had given me. She made it so easy. Fiona made it a fun and relaxing afternoon. I would highly recommend her.
Response from the owner: Mary is it always an absolute pleasure to see you! It makes my heart so happy to read you felt like a million dollars and Aisling has told me you are loving the your new skincare and make-up routine. Keep in touch and of course let me know if you have any questions or need advice x
I felt so lucky to have Fiona as the make-up artist for me and two bridesmaids on my wedding day. She made everyone look beautiful in exactly the way they wanted, and she went above and beyond (even taking my bouquet out of the water it came in, without being asked, when it came time to take pictures with it but everyone had scattered to other places they needed to be!). She was the last person in the getting-ready room other than me and the photographer, unobtrusively making sure everything was perfect before heading off. I also highly recommend doing a trial before the big day, not only because she was really helpful in allowing me to change my mind from what I thought I wanted, but also because she set me on course for small changes to my skincare routine that I still follow months later. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: I felt so lucky to have you as one of my brides Sara, it was such a pleasure to work with you, thank you for your lovely words. You looked so beautiful, I can't wait to see some of the pro photos. I am thrilled that I was able to advise with your skincare routine and to hear you are still using it makes me so happy, for me it's not about great skin on the day but great skin forever. Thank you so much for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist x
Fiona was my make up artist for my wedding day in Nov 22 and she was absolutely amazing! She was so calm and helpful on the day, especially in those final moments before we all headed off to the venue. She is so talented, all my bridesmaids, my mother and myself were all delighted with how we looked and how well it lasted on the day.She was also amazing with the flower girls who got such a kick out of being in her chair for their own "makeup". I couldn't recommend her enough, she is exactly the person you need on your team for your big day and will come with not only her brilliant makeup skills but lavender spray and fans to keep you calm and excited for the day ahead! Thank you so much Fiona ❤
Response from the owner: Emily you sweetheart, thank you for your lovely words and thank you for booking me as your bridal make-up artist. I loved looking after you every step of the way ❤ You looked absolutely incredible and it really was such a fun morning with everyone, I just know you all had a fab day after I left. I loved 'making up' the little ones, cuteness overload. I'd love to see some of the pro pics when you get them and of course I'd love to see you anytime again in my studio x
Fiona looked after the make up of our full team for headshots for our new website. She did a great job of getting people's style on point and making sure everyone looked great for our new headshots!
Response from the owner: Paula thanks so much for leaving a review, I had the best couple of days with you all and the new branding and website looks amazing! Any other time I can look after you I would be delighted to!
We booked Fiona in June 2022 for three Photography make-up session for our website images as part of a rebrand. Fiona was amazing, she made everyone feel so comfortable, even people who normally don't wear make-up. Fiona's professionalism, knowledge and guidance was vital in making this project successful. Fiona went above and beyond for us and the whole team loved her. We will definitely book Fiona again in the future for any projects.
Response from the owner: Emma thanks so much for the review, it was such an enjoyable couple of days and so interesting to find out more about the amazing services that Furthr provide. The rebrand and the new website look really great, would love to work with you and the team again any time !
Fiona was a pleasure to have around on the morning of our wedding - she was great craic and her calm demeanor really set the tone for the day. She did a fantastic job on my bridal party who were all very different complexions and wanted differing looks. The make-up itself was flawless and lasted all night even through the heat on a very warm day. Highly recommend, thanks so much Fiona!!
Response from the owner: Ellis thank you for your lovely words, you were an absolute stunner (that dress, wow!) . From the moment I met your and your lovely mam I knew we would have great fun and I wasn't wrong - the best bunch of women ever 🙂 Thank you so much for my personalised bubbly glass and pressies, you are so thoughtful and kind but honestly it was present enough to have you choose me as your bridal make-up artist. I hope you both had the most amazing time in Thailand. Would love to see and your mam again anytime in the studio ❤
I had the pleasure of Fiona teaching me so much about make up. She is absolutely fantastic, caring and a very kind person. I cannot express how professional and lovely she is. I learnt so much in the hour. The studio is absolutely gorgeous and I felt relaxed and comfortable learning from her. I cannot recommend her enough. She is also such a lovely person to chat to and I really enjoyed our session.
Response from the owner: Aimee it was an absolute pleasure to have you over for a make-up lesson, I am so delighted you enjoyed your time here in the studio and hope you are enjoying putting the new techniques you learned into practice and using the products that I recommended. Let me know if you have any questions as you go 🙂 x
Fiona did my wedding makeup and I loved it, and her!During our trial, I showed her a photo of what I thought I wanted. She matched it perfectly, but I realized that it was not at all what I wanted. She was kind enough to try a completely new look, which I loved, and that's what we went with the day of the wedding.She also did the makeup of some of my bridesmaids, who all loved theirs as well. Most of us are not used to wearing much makeup, but Fiona make it look and feel very natural and lightweight.She arrived on time, was very professional, and had a wonderful calming presence. I would definitely recommend her <3
Response from the owner: Jordyn I loved you!! I was beyond delighted to bring your wedding day make-up dreams to life. From our first call I loved your vision for your wedding and knew your look was going to be amazing and on the day itself the make-up, hair and dress and the amazing setting married (pardon the pun lol) together to make you a real life fairy princess - I still get goosebumps thinking about it! Thank you so much for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist and please let me paint your face again when you visit Dublin x
Fiona was our make up artist for our wedding on the 22nd of October. She was beyond amazing, so calm and considerate. Her main concern was giving everyone a perfect experience the minute they sat in her chair.She helped me figure what I liked and didn't like when it came to my wedding look. She also was a total pro and trouper, with the patience of saint when I brought my 1 year old boy Ben to my make up trial (not something I'd recommend or do ever again!!) My mother in law, sisters in law and two bridesmaids all had their make up done and every single one of them hopped down from the make up chair and their time with Fiona feeling beautiful and delighted with their transformation. They all raved about her.Fiona, thank you so so much for everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and everyone I know. Rachel
Response from the owner: Rachel thank you so much for the lovely words and a massive thank you for choosing me as your bridal make-up artist. It was a total pleasure working with you very step of the way and to be fair to baby Ben I think he had a lot of patience with us on the day in my studio 🙂 It was a really gorgeous morning with your lovely family, I can't wait to see some pictures from the rest of the day in the magical Station House x
