Testimonials

Jodie did a fantastic job of my bridal makeup, it was a pleasure to have her company on my wedding morning she was so professional and in control and because of this I was able to relax & actually enjoy the morning. My make up looked amazing, I didn’t know I could look so good and it stayed that way for the whole wedding, even after dancing all evening.

Jodie was brilliant on the wedding day, she has such a warm, open personality I found her very easy to talk to and great fun too. She performed some wonderful magic on my mother-of-the-bride face and made me feel a million dollars. Whilst keeping the makeup simple, Jodie achieved that fresh glowing look that was appropriate both for the occasion and my age! Her fantastic artistry was displayed when applying my eye makeup, using very subtle shading to achieve a natural, sophisticated finish. My final look was understated and stylish and, well, just perfect.
Kay Parker (Mother of the bride)

I cannot put in to words how pleased I was with my make up on my wedding day. I wanted my make-up to be similar to what I wear every day but just a bit special and that is exactly what Jodie achieved. My skin looked flawless and radiant in all of the photos and it lasted all day and night without the need for any touch ups apart from the odd touch of lipstick.
When I initially started planning my wedding I wasn’t going to have my make-up done professionally as I was going to do it myself. However, looking back it was one of the best things I did as it made me look and feel so special. Jodie is very talented and very professional and I trusted her completely. She also has a great personality which really added to the excitement of the morning. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jodie Is an excellent makeup artist and I would highly recomend her to any one considering having their makeup applied professionally.

She really listened to my ideas & to what I wanted & I felt she genuinley wanted me to be 100% happy with my makeup.

My bridesmaids & mum looked lovely & were really pleased with their makeup too.

We had lots of lovely comments throughout the day & my photo's truly were amazing.

This was a day I HAD to look good for and Jodie did a brilliant job I was so pleased! It’s amazing how much more confident you feel when you know your make up looks good! My acrylic nails are lovely, I don't want to take them off.
Jenny Marr (Mother of the groom)

Jodie is very talented.I asked her to do my nails and make-up for my wedding. She was very professional, My make-up trial went brilliantly. Everyone loved my make-up. My Mum was so impressed she asked Jodie to do her make-up. My make up on my wedding day was just as it was in the trial I was so pleased and it lasted right up until I took it off the following morning!!.
She is very friendly but most of all she is professional and makes you feel comfortable.

When she did my nails I didn't have a 'Something Blue' and as I was getting married the next day I didn't know what to do. Jodie said she had some little rhinestones and asked if I would like some placing on my ring finger. It was a fantastic idea and everyone commented on them.

I would just like to say a huge thankyou to Jodie, she made a potentialy crazy wedding morning very relaxing and enjoyable. She was extremely professional spending a lot of time with me to create the look i wanted. Her attention to detail ensured that i looked fresh all day long and the make up was just as amazing as the artist, it stayed looking fabulous all day even after the evenings dancing and laughing.
All the way through Jodie advised on hints and tips and was such a pleasure to be with, for a really reasonable price.
Her personality made my wedding morning experience a lot of fun and a day i shall never forget. I paticually wanted to say the attention Jodie paid to my eye makeup was fantastic, i never thought i could look that beautiful and i loved every minute of it. Thank you so much.

Hi Jodie
Gemma here, the bride without an orange bit of foundation in sight!!
Hope all's well with you - I really enjoyed the whole make-up and pampering thing (I'm no longer scared of nail varnish!) and so glad you were my make-up artist. Geoff really liked the make-up!!
I think my photos look great and I truly had the most amazing day.
I'll get in touch again for some more pampering sessions!
Take care
Gemma (Bride)

My wedding isnt untill August but had my trial in February and what a lovely lass by the end my make up was gorgeous, even though I dont have very nice skin I felt I had been airbrushed, I felt great especialy when the products used were of really high standard you name it shes got it and especialy if you want gold eye shadow lol all I can say to any future brides is good luck and I cant wait for the big day Jodie did everything perfect and knew exactly what she is doing I have full faith in her for my big day.

Thanks Jodie from

Gemma Batey x (Bride to be)

I wanted to thank you again for making my day so special. Having my make up applied was one of the best parts of my day. I found it so soothing and you really helped me to relax and enjoy the day. The make up looked perfect in real life and in the pictures. I also really enjoyed the trial and now apply my own make up using the tips you showed me – eyebrows included!!
I have recommended you to lots of friends so expect some phone calls in the future as they get married.

Louise Errington (Bride)

Jodie was absolutely fantastic on my wedding day, she was so professional and friendly, which really helped me to stay calm. The make up was brilliant, Jodie listened to exactly what I wanted and worked with me to produce the look I wanted. The make up stayed on all day and looked just as good in the evening as it did on the morning. I would recommend her to anyone considering getting their make up done professionally. Linda Jackson (Bride)

Thanks to Jodie’s amazing skill and competence I was absolutely thrilled with my wedding day makeup. The trial a month or so before the wedding provided the perfect opportunity to discuss what I wanted and for Jodie to offer her advice and knowledge too.
On the morning of the wedding Jodie was wonderful. I had every confidence in her and it was great not to have to worry at all about my makeup. Not once throughout the day did I feel the need to touch up any of the makeup – I know that if I had done it I would have been touching up every hour or so!! There were lots of compliments from guests about my makeup too.
So thanks very much Jodie and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to future brides. Most definitely money well spent!

Jo Collier (Bride)

Hi Jodie,
Just wanted to say thanks so much for my wedding make up and giggle at Seaham Hall on Fri 25th July. It looked fantastic on all the pics I've seen so far. I will definitely recommend you to other brides. Our photos should be able to be viewed online at www.katymelling.co.uk at the end of august.
Thanks again
Sarah

Thank you so much for everything Jodie - you and your mum were so much fun to have around on the morning of the wedding. Thanks for making us all look so gorgeous and for staying at the end to place the veil!

The photos look great - it was really nice to come back from honeymoon (which was fab by the way) and to have pictures to look at to remind us of the day. The wedding was PERFECT and the weather stayed lovely all day.

I'll send you one of the professional photos when we get them - what a character the photographer was! I thought he was going to have a nervous break down when it came to the groups!!!

Thanks again

Love Mrs French! x
