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!

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!

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 🥰

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

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!
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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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! 💫

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!

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!

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 🙏🏽🤗

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

I would 100% recommend Fiona to anyone getting married.Thank you for the best morning and making me feel so beautiful.

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!

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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 ❤

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

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

I'm writing as a recent bride following my 1 October 2022 wedding, for which Fiona did my bridal makeup. I feel nothing but immense gratitude for the critical role she played in preparing me for my wedding day. From day one she was highly collaborative even over email (I live in New York City and only met Fiona a few days before my wedding) - she helped me determine I wanted to go more 'glam' than 'natural' and I am so happy she was willing to engage in the discovery process.For me the wedding day festivities started at the very early hour of 7am and I cannot emphasize enough how Fiona's work helped me feel elevated, glamorous, and most of all, worry-free about my makeup with so many eyes upon me that day. She also helped to defuse my tension with her engaging personality - pretty important as the morning progressed and my nerves took hold. Finally, Fiona demonstrated a true masterclass in bridal makeup as my bridal party had highly variable skin tones and types, and all looked beautiful!All in all, I would recommend Fiona 100 times out of 100 to anyone! Thank you so much!

Fiona was wonderful on our wedding day. Her calm energy and kindness was beyond comforting. The entire wedding party was thrilled with their makeup and they all enjoyed their time in the chair; especially my 6 year old who still raves about her “makeup.” Her prep before make up was incredibly helpful and gave my skin a hydrating glow. She made all of us feel beautiful while keeping our make up natural. She is very talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a seamless experience on their wedding day.

Having Fiona as our MUA on the day was like having another bridesmaid to have the craic with all morning! Fiona was the first person to arrive to my house and she brought an entire makeup studio with her, complete with lights and a chair!! She also had a wedding playlist playing the whole time which was a really nice touch. She was so easy to work with and was able to achieve what each of my bridesmaids wanted. She was also able to give a minimum look for my mam who was absolutely delighted. She gave me exactly the look I wanted but even better than I had imagined. The makeup lasted all day without feeling really heavy on my skin and it looks amazing in all the photos. Fiona was such an integral part of the wedding morning and I’m so delighted she was recommended to me! I’ll be using her anytime I feel the need to look that fantastic again!!

I cannot say enough about the service I, my bridesmaids and mum received both on my wedding day and in the months before. Fiona truly cares about her clients and the care and attention she gives you makes you feel like you are her sole and only bride, even when she's at her busiest. She was there at the end of the phone or via email for me no matter what query or concern that I had in preparation for the day. During the trial, she worked with me to create my chosen look and took detailed notes so that recreation on the wedding morning was seamless. Despite the weather on the day being close to 30 degrees celsius, my makeup stayed put into the wee hours. Don't hesitate: book Fiona for your wedding or event.

Hi Fiona,I am so sorry it has taken so long to get in touch. We are just back from our honeymoon and I was straight back to work the next day so it has been so busy!I cannot thank you enough for the incredible job you did the morning of my wedding! Each one of us was over the moon with our make-up. The weather was so hot and our make-up was absolutely flawless all day!You went above and beyond your job description to help out with everything that morning. You were such a calm and vital component of the day. Thank you for helping with the organisation of absolutely everything.My bridesmaids, my mum and mother in law all commented on how kind, professional and thoughtful you are. I don't know how you do it with such an early start. You made my morning so special. You were the fourth bridesmaid that morning!I hope you had a great August. I will definitely be attending one of your masterclass ☺️I have sent a little treat in the post to your address. I hope it reaches you.Have a lovely weekend.Thanks so much again!

From the minute I talked to Fiona on the phone we clicked. Not only is Fiona phenomenal at what she does but she will bring the magic and sparkle to getting ready the morning of the wedding. Fiona came in the morning of the wedding like a breath of fresh air and made everyone feel like a million dollars. Not only does she make you beautiful but she ensures she are relaxed and made me feel like a bride! To her spritz of lavender to her using a hand fan is just extra. Fiona loves what she does and that shines through. She made me feel so special on the day. My mother and bridesmaid all fell in love with her too! I would 100% recommend Fiona to anyone. Also all her make up products are lush! So you may be broke as you will want them all!

Fiona did my make up on my wedding day in Dec '21 aswell as my bridal party and my mum's make up.She is so superbly talented at what she does! From the make up trial to the wedding day she was amazing!! So easy to talk to about what style of make up I wanted and what did or didnt suit me, aswell as being a lovely calming person to have with me on my wedding morning as I got ready. I couldnt recommend her enough for any occassion but especially for the morning of your wedding!

Fiona Harrison did the make up for my wedding and she is just a joy to have around on the day. Not only did she complete beautiful make up looks for all involved that held all day long, she also took photos and made an adorable TikTok. I would highly recommend Fiona's services.

Fiona did my makeup for my wedding and she was fantastic! Not only was she so talented but she was so engaged and a pleasure to have with us on the day. She created beautiful looks for myself. my mum and bridesmaids and was such a calming influence the whole way through the morning. She is so engaged and such a lovely person that she added to the fun and sense of occasion. I would book her in a second for any events I have in the future.

Fiona did my make-up for my wedding and to say she was amazing would be an understatement. From trial to the day itself she went above and beyond. She is not only a consummate professional but you can tell she is extremely passionate about her work and it shows in how she interacts with each person and how much work she puts into her craft. She was also such a calming influence on the morning, I couldn’t recommend Fiona more.

Fiona was my makeup artist for my wedding and to say she went above and beyond doesn’t do her justice. Not only did she have the pressure of a wedding but our family ended up grieving the day of, adding an extra layer of unusual emotion. Even though there were wobbles, it was Fiona who was able to calm everyone down, particularly my mum, she just knew what to say to help her get through the day.At the trial, Fiona really listened to my ideas of what I wanted and provided affordable product recommendations to help in the lead up to the wedding, that I still use to this day. I was so happy with my makeup and it lasted all day and night like you would want for your big day.Overall, if you’re looking for a makeup artist particularly for your wedding, Fiona ticks all the boxes and more, don’t hesitate to book her.

The ultimate professional, Fiona took such good care of us, putting us all at ease and making the day all the more fun, with great chats.☺ And of course we all absolutely LOVED our makeup! I couldn't recommend Fiona and The Makeup Studio enough! ☺

I am so so thankful I had Fiona Harrison there on my special day to do my make-up! She TRULY went OVER AND ABOVE what you would expect from a MUA. She was early, she set up beautifully, had individual brushed for myself and each bridesmaid. She made sure each of us felt comfortable and stunning in our make-up! Fiona didn't rush off as soon as she was done, but stayed around right until the very end to ensure everything was just right! Fiona was so professional, excellent and I was so thrilled that I had her to make me feel naturally beautiful on my wedding day! THANK YOU FIONA! Forever grateful.Photographers: Adam and Grace Photography

Fiona did my bridal makeup as well as makeup for my mum and four bridesmaids on the day. We all ADORED our makeup and it stayed on so well despite the SERIOUS challenges of the sun, dancing and in my case happy sobbing during the speeches! Fiona is so calm and professional even with so much to get done and I loved that we each had a fully sanitised set of brushes.The wedding trail was great - Fiona listened to exactly what I wanted and encouraged me to tell her any little tweaks I was thinking of so that it was exactly what I pictured on the day.Would definitely recommend!

Fiona did my bridal makeup and my four bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding day. She was incredibly professional and personable and really created a calm but fun environment for us getting ready on the day.Fiona worked hand in glove with our hairstylist Marina as well which really made the whole process run smoothly! The makeup was perfect on me and the girls, everyone looked beautiful and felt great. We got lots of compliments and the makeup lasted all day with not a touch up needed. I would highly recommend Fiona!

Fiona facilitated an online makeup and skin care class for a group of friends during lockdown. It was great fun and something different to do on another tedious Saturday night at home. We had booked an hour, but we were still all chatting 2 hours later. Fiona was great. We had so much fun and she knows her stuff. She had lots of fabulous tips and hacks. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She is great! i can't wait to visit her in person as soon as we can!

I met Fiona in 2011 when I was lucky to have chosen her to do wedding makeup for myself and my wedding party. She was extremely professional, ontime, very talkative and really down to earth she kept me so calm.She has done make up on me since aswell for other weddings and nights out, and has advised me on products to use on my skin as its aging now. I would highly recommend Fiona, she really knows her business inside and out

I was lucky enough to have Fiona looking after my bridal makeup on my wedding day - I couldn’t recommend her services more highly! From the very first moment I met her she made me feel relaxed and she was so passionate about making my special day the best experience ever. My trial was so much fun and ensured I was absolutely happy with everything on the day. She also catered for the different needs of my bridesmaids as they each had slightly difference preferences. I can’t thank Fiona enough, just wish I could do it all over again!

Fiona is incredible!!! I booked her for my wedding at the back end of last year. She is a consummate professional, my makeup was exactly what I wanted and lasted all day and night. On top of that Fiona was so helpful and helped me find a hair stylist for my wedding day also. Fiona checked in with me ahead of my wedding to decide looks, unfortunately a trial was not possible due to lockdown restrictions at the time so Fiona made sure to check in with me and discuss different looks. She paid such attention, was simply brilliant and is the loveliest person! I can’t recommend her enough!!

Fiona did my makeup for my wedding day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with; starting with the makeup trial, during which she gave me skincare tips to the day itself. She was so professional throughout. She listened to what I wanted and delivered a make up look that I was so happy with. Her relaxed manner made for a great start to the day. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Fiona to friends - thank you so much Fiona.

I found Fiona via One Fab Day a couple of weeks before my last minute wedding. She kindly moved a few things around to squeeze me in, and from the moment our trial started I was in fantastic hands. Fiona listened to just what I wanted and created an absolutely perfect look. She used gorgeous high-end products to create a flawless base, and above all I still looked like myself just better! On the morning of the wedding, Fiona was an absolute dream to have with us. She had a totally calming presence despite being busy making up six of us. Everyone’s makeup was totally tailored to their own style and preferences and all of us loved it. My makeup lasted all day and night. I can’t recommend Fiona highly enough and I definitely hope to work with her again in future.

She was so accommodating with all the chaos of changing wedding plans thanks to covid and she really put me at ease on the morning of the wedding.My make up was perfect and lasted all night - I couldn't have asked for more. I would book Fiona again in a heartbeat for any excuse to get my makeup done!

I had Fiona do my makeup for my wedding day; she was absolutely amazing. She really went above and beyond for me. From the makeup trial, to the skincare tips in advance of the big day she was available at all times. She had thoughtful little goodie bags of mints and tissues for all members of the wedding party on the morning and she used top quality makeup which did not move throughout the day. She listens to what you want and really has the professional skills to deliver it. You can completely count on her. But more than that; she is genuinely a lovely person. You can chat away to her and she puts you at ease and completely shares in the excitement of your big day. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Fiona did my makeup for my wedding in September and I couldn't recommend her enough. She followed every protocol for covid safety. She listened carefully to what I wanted. She created a natural yet glamorous look. Not only did she do an amazing job on all of our make up she was a lovely calming presence on the morning. She went above and beyond to mind us all and make sure we had a good time and felt beautiful. If looking for a make up artist book her now!

What can I say about Fiona, from the minute I met her she put me at ease, she is professional and so friendly, really chatty and listens to what you want. After my trial Fiona went above and beyond sending me skin care tips and links to products. The morning of our wedding she kept everything calm and everyone's makeup was amazing,she stayed until we were walking out the door handing us tissues as we went. I cant recommend her more highly and will defo use her again if we have an occasion.

Not only is Fiona an extremely talented makeup artist, she is also incredibly kind and just a genuinely lovely person. I got married in August 2020 after my original wedding in Italy was cancelled due to Covid restrictions. It was really stressful trying to organise a backup plan with a few weeks notice. From the first time I contacted her to see if she had availability, Fiona was so helpful and even hooked me up with the most amazing hair stylist! Shout out to Martina King! Fiona is a consummate professional and strictly adhered to the Covid guidelines throughout both my trial and on the wedding day. At the trial, Fiona assessed my skin and advised on the best colours and makeup to suit my skin. I was so happy with my makeup on the day - it was exactly the look I wanted. I have problematic, sensitive skin and am prone to hormonal breakouts but I really hate the caked on look. Fiona really listened to me and worked with me to achieve a really flawless look that still looked really natural and dewy. She did the same for the two mum’s (who are super fussy) and my four bridesmaids. They were all thrilled and we got so many compliments throughout the day about everyone’s makeup. The makeup looked perfect both in person and in the photos and video which isn’t easy to achieve. I couldn’t recommend Fiona enough - definitely the person you want by your side in the lead up and morning of your wedding! Thanks so much Fiona!xxxxx

She is an outstanding person, outstanding work. You want this lady by your side on your wedding day! A truly wonderful human being who I am very grateful to have met and to have done my bridal make up. She did a fantastic job for both myself and my mum. I would certainly highly recommend her to everyone and would love to get my make up done again by her if I could (without having to organise a wedding to do so!!!). Your search ends here!

Fiona is a lovely person with a warm heart and loves a laugh, so she made our morning extra special. All the girls and Mums loved her and loved their make up. You are in amazing hands if you book Fiona!

I thoroughly enjoyed Fiona’s masterclass. When I arrived there was a lovely friendly atmosphere in the group and Fiona had a wonderful set up. She went through all the different products and explained really useful information about skin that I hadn’t know. We had the chance to ask questions and take notes while enjoying champagne. The make up demonstration was fascinating as Fiona explained each step and to see her in action as a true expert was amazing. Taking a day look to a night time glamours look was really interesting and the end result was fresh and beautiful. We got fabulous gift bags at the end and a voucher to spend in store. I purchased a toner with it and it was truly an enjoyable evening. I would recommend it for an evening out with the girls or mother and daughter or even on your own. Money well spent ! Thank you !

We chose a really intimate micro wedding so I wanted to do my own bridal makeup. I am incredibly fussy when it comes to my make-up but I wasn’t confident I could achieve that ‘camera ready’ look that would last me through the day without constant touch ups plus I wanted a more sophisticated version of my everyday make-up.I booked Fiona for a bespoke bridal make-up lesson and it was a special experience from start to finish. I got lots of great skincare advice, a list of bits I needed to add to my make-up bag for the day (I never even knew eye primer existed!) and finally learned how to use brushes correctly. Fiona guided me patiently step by step and together we brought the vision of my perfect wedding make-up to life, I was thrilled.After our lesson she sent me my own step by step guide which came in really handy on the morning, especially as the butterflies kicked in. On the wedding day I really felt fabulous, polished and confident and was delighted that my make-up lasted beautifully all through the day and night, I literally just topped up my lipstick.An added bonus is I have a new found confidence with my make-up and skincare, I picked up so many tips and tricks so honestly I would recommend a make-up lesson with Fiona to every woman!

Fiona was my makeup artist for my wedding in Kilkea Castle and to say she is the best is really an understatement! From the minute we first spoke on the phone prior to my trial, Fiona was so warm, open and approachable and really put my mind to rest that I would look and feel like myself on my wedding day... the best possible version of myself!On the wedding day itself, I was very nervous and Fiona was so kind and reassuring whilst also being an incredible makeup artist. My Mom, my aunt and my best friend all loved their makeup looks on the day. I absolutely LOVED my makeup and still can’t believe how beautiful and elegant I looked and felt. Thank you so much Fiona. To any brides looking for a makeup artist for your wedding day... look no further!!

Fionna is the absolute best!! I was a destination bride and from the beginning planning stages, Fionna was a dream. To finally meet her in person after months and months was such a pleasure. We did a trial 3 days before the wedding and it was such fun! I couldn't wait to have her with me the morning of my wedding. She has such a warm and welcoming presence and immediately put me at ease. Not only is she amazing, but her work is even more incredible! I've never had a make up artist really listen to me and the direction I wanted to go. She was so flexible and wanted to make sure I was 100% happy. I truly have never felt so beautiful and its all because of her! On top of all that, she managed to keep my oily skin under control for the ENTIRE day - I didn't think it was possible but WOW did she deliver!! Everyone in my bridal party was stunning and just couldn't have asked for anything more. Needless to say I had the most magical day and would highly recommend to any bride!!

I booked Fiona after a friend recommended her, and I'm so so glad I did! From the first time I spoke to her I felt like I was in good hands, particularly because of her focus on natural looks. Fiona gave me loads of great advice at my trial and in the run up to the wedding on skin care too, and then on the day she was such an amazing calming influence. The morning was, naturally, pretty hectic and Fiona was so together and calm that it really put me at ease. She even had a lavender scented spray to make the room smell like a spa! Of course, my make up and my maid of honours make up were incredible. It lasted through a very long day and night eating drinking and dancing and I have photo proof that it was still in excellent shape by 4am! I felt like I was wearing nothing, and kept forgetting I even had make up on (until of course I looked in the mirror and realised I had never looked better!). I'm only sad that I cant look that amazing every day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fiona, and I will be recommending her to all of my engaged friends! An amazing, talented make up artist but just as importantly a lovely person who will make you feel amazing on the day and go above and beyond to help your morning and day run smoothly. Thanks so much Fiona ❤️

Fiona did make up for myself and my bridal group back in October. She is amazing! Such a relaxing, fun presence on the morning. Exactly the type of person you want on the big day. She had a great playlist to keep us entertained, and every now an again would spritz some lavender to relax us!She is an exceptional talent, tailoring everyone's look to their own personality and personal make up style. I truly have never felt more beautiful, and I didn't need to touch up my face once, which is usually unheard of for my oily skin!I would have no hesitation in recommending Fiona, you will not be disappointed!
