Aileen Duffy Makeup Artist

Aileen helped create such a special morning for me and my bridal party - what a truly memorable experience. Aileen's professionalism, creativity and passion is unrivalled, she played a central role in the wedding day preparations for myself, my mother and 2 sisters. Aileen kept us all relaxed, upbeat and the end result was fantastic. Her knowledge of products and listening to our styles/tastes for a truly unforgettable day meant so much to all of us. Would definitely recommend Aileen!

I can't speak highly enough about Aileen. She was my bridal make-up artist in June of this year and an absolute pleasure to work with in the run-up and on the big day itself. I knew after I had the trial that it was one wedding planning item I never had to revisit or focus on again which was a great relief during those v.busy last couple of months. The style of make-up for all the party - bride, mother of bride, sister, 3 bridesmaids and junior bridesmaid was just fabulous & it never felt like there was any rushing between ladies. I want to especially praise her on her manner and ability to make people feel at ease. She was just fantastic with our beautiful junior bridesmaid - knowing the age-appropriate level of make-up to apply and how to make her feel extra special. Thanks for everything Aileen! Elaine & Tom?s

As a rule I don't wear a lot of make up so the thought of choosing a make up artist for my wedding was one of the most stressful parts of the planning. I had trials with three different make up artists with Aileen being the last trial. And even as she was talking and listening to me while doing my make up I knew that I was going to be asking to Aileen to do my make up that Sept.
She listened to everything that I said in terms of what I did and didn?t like but what I also love is that Aileen made suggestions for things for me to try and if I didn?t like them then fine (false eyelashes are not me!) but if they did then great!
Aileen is friendly and extremely professional. At the venue itself it was completely stress free chatting to my Mum and my sister while Aileen was working. And you have no idea how much we appreciated the last minute help out to my Mum (saved my Dad getting a stern giving out too :) )
As for me, I can't get over how I felt as if I had no makeup on - I loved the look you gave me; it was exactly what I wanted to go with my dress (which I loved wearing!).
We had a wonderful day and thank you again for helping to make me feel beautiful!

Aileen was a true professional and a total joy to be around. From the trial and all the interactions leading up to the big day, I felt she knew exactly what I wanted. She provided an excellent, friendly and efficient service, her relaxed manner put everyone at ease, we all even picked up a few hints and tricks! She is a knowledgeable artist, using amazing products and delivers a top class application of make up which lasted the whole day and through the dancing to the small hours, I rarely touched my makeup up through the day, it simply wasn't needed... by any of the bridal party! Her attention to detail on the morning was noticed by everyone! All women want to feel beautiful on their wedding day and I can truely say Aileen made me feel so confident and wonderful, my mother and bridesmaids looked stunning also. I would recommend Aileen to any bride, this woman knows her profession and is a seriously talented artist.

Aileen did my makeup for my wedding, as well as my maid-of-honours and my Mam's faces. She was brilliant. She is thorough and careful, making sure she matches your pre-makeup skincare to your needs and then meticulously applying your makeup so that it stays all day. And I mean ALL day. I have never been able to replicate it. I am thinking about asking her if she does lessons! I'd love to get a one-off session with her ;) She is also very intelligent and kind, a true artist.

So any ladies out there looking for flawless perfection on there skin and applied by an artist don't wait about book today xxxx

Aileen worked her magic on myself, my bridesmaids and my mum. she was amazing. The morning of the wedding she relaxed all of us with her calm demeanor despite the early hour. I felt like a goddess for the day with my very natural make up and fabulous eyelashes. Aileen managed to see me as i was and turn me into the most brilliant version of myself. we discussed style and what i usually wore prior to the trail and right off the bat she knew what to do.
Aileen was a pleasure to work with and really added to an amazing day. I highly recommend everyone to book her imminently for your day.

Aileen was my makeup artist on my wedding day and I cannot speak highly enough of the job she did for both myself and my bridal party. Aileen was really helpful in advising the different colours and tones that would suit my skin in the run up to the wedding. On the morning of the wedding Aileen arrived at my home bright and early and got to work on my bridal party, ensuring that she spent the allocated time on each of the girls which meant there was ample amont of time to work on my makeup and no one felt rushed. Aileen was extremely professional but also knew exactly how to relax me as the nerves started to set in! She stayed right up until it was time for me to leave for the church adding her final touches and to say I was delighted with the outcome is an understatement. I absolutely loved mine and the bridesmaids makeup, it was so flawless and we all got so many compliments on the day. I would highly recommend Aileen and her service to any furture brides.

Thanks so much Aileen!

Can't thank Aileen enough for providing a make-up lesson in Athlone for my hen party. Aileen was exactly what we were looking for. She used me as the model and gave really useful tips to the rest of the girls as we went along. I was so pleased with the finished result. Aileen then spent time with each of the girls helping them to apply their own make-up. She was very generous with her time and all of her fabulous make-up. After the lesson all we had to do was pop upstairs to change our clothes for the night out.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Aileen for any occasion. She really knows how to get the best out of everyone.

Thanks again.

Aileen?s expertise, skills and personality are the perfect combination. I loved (I can?t emphasise enough!) my make up for my wedding. My three bridesmaids and my mam also loved their make up. Aileen took the time to experiment with different looks during my make up trial. She knows how do to flawless and natural looking make up. Aileen's relaxed personality is such that she makes everyone feel at ease. She seamlessly fitted into our house on the morning of the wedding giving us make up tips along the way. I highly recommend Aileen for your wedding day.

I had Aileen Duffy as my make-up artist for my wedding, and have used Aileen?s services for other special occasions. I would highly recommend Aileen to any bride-to-be or anyone looking to have their make-up done professionally for any occasion. Aileen was a pleasure to deal with, both in the make-up trials before the wedding and on the day. She listened to requests for certain shades etc. and also offered advice and recommendations on what shades and make up suit your skin type. She was a very calming presence on the morning of the wedding. She did the make up for my three bridesmaids and my mother and had us all ready in plenty of time. Our make-up really looked fantastic in the photos and that is thanks to Aileen?s expertise and experience in bridal make up. I would recommend Aileen to anyone who wants to feel extra fabulous for a special occasion!

Just a quick note to express my sincere thanks for the fab make up you always done for me. I've always found Aileen extremely professional and more importantly friendly and very welcoming. She made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in and I always felt nice and comfortable. Aileen uses fantastic top of art make up which i just adore and the range she has is every girls dream. I live in envy. I don't know how she does it but the make up just goes fantastic, absolutely flawless and it just stays on absolutely amazing all day long. It's like Aileen can read your mind for the type of make up you want. I often find that you tell make up artists/beauticians want eye make up you want and you end up with something completely different, that they didn't understand what I meant, but not with Aileen. She always gets it bang on the mark.

The proof was definitely in the pudding as they say when Aileen did my make up for my Xmas party in Edinburgh. Aileen did my make up that morning before I left, so around 8 hours later, which included a bus journey to the airport, a flight to Edinburgh, another bus journey into the city and a walk to our apartment and the numerous drinks we had along the way and all i needed to do before we went out that night was throw on the guna and re apply my lip stick which is pretty darn amazing. Usually id be all shiny and my make up would be all cakey and it d just be a pure disaster but with Aileen's make up it was like she had only done it before I went out that night.

I would completely recommend wholeheartedly Aileen to everyone. She'd def be on the top of my list for my make up if i was ever getting married, cause I've tried and tested and love the results I've seen.
