A massive thank you to Annette for the amazing job she did on the 8th March. My mom and sister adored their make up. My sister was so disappointed that Annette was not available to do her make up for her wedding. Annette was so calm on the morning of my wedding; I think she calmed the whole house down. Annette was so helpful from the first time I contacted her, I never had a worry that my make-up would be anything but perfect. After being in hospital for six days before the wedding, Annette had no easy job with my make-up - however everyone commented on how well and healthy I looked. Not something most brides are concerned with but it meant the world to me. Annette is truly amazing, I can?t recommend her highly enough. Sarah xxx

Thank you so much Annette for doing such an amazing make-up job on me and my bridal party on May 2nd. We never looked as well and it was so natural looking. Each look was individual to each person and lasted all day. Annette is extremely professional and friendly. She is easy to contact and listens to what you want but also advises. Annette arrived ten minutes before she was due to and got straight to work. There is a fabulous sense of calm about Annette which is wonderful to be around as you get ready. I couldn't recommend Annette enough!

Annette was the make up artist for my wedding in March 2014. I have nothing but great things to say about Annette, from the trial to the day of the wedding she was truly professional, honest and so helpful. On the day of the wedding she completed make up for my mother, 3 bridesmaids and myself, each one looked flawless. We were all so impressed with how our make up looked and lasted the whole day.
Annette made us all feel relaxed and at ease that morning and not only her skills shone but her personality too, she was so friendly and chatted with everyone, which also means alot.
Annette thank you so much for doing fabulous make up for us all and I will continue to recommend you to future brides. Will look forward to having my make up done with you again next March but this time as a bridesmaid for my sisters wedding :-) Chat Soon.

Hi Annette,
I just want to say thank you so much for being part of our special day. Every single one of the bridesmaids loved their makeup (which is no easy feat!), and to say I loved mine is an understatement! You really made all of us feel beautiful....the make up you created was individual to each person, comfortable to wear, made our skin look flawless, and a lot of the guests commented on how fabulous we looked.... even as the night went on!
Not only did you make us feel and look fab, but the time you spent with us in the morning was brilliant, it was like having another friend there!
So thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! I will most definitely be recommending you to all my friends for the future, and you will DEFINATELY see me again in the not to distant future...... I'd adopt you if I could!

Best of luck with everything (not that you need it!!)
Chat soon,

I can?t speak highly enough of Annette. Through from the make-up trial to the wedding day, Annette has been an absolute star. She is very supportive and completely open in relation to offering tips and advice. My make-up was absolutely flawless on the wedding day and make me feel so confident. It felt very natural & comfortable too and still looked great at 6am the next morning! Annette was very calm and relaxed the morning of the wedding ? just what every bride needs! I can?t recommend her highly enough.

I currently reside in Western Australia and decided to make the big trip home for our wedding in Killarney Co Kerry. We done all our research on the internet as we're not from the area. I came across "Le Beau Beauty Salon" on the internet, Annette's web site blew me away, her work is amazing, plenty of pictures, years of experience etc. I made contact with Annette and as efficient as she is she was straight back onto me with all her information. When we arrived in Killarney Annette and her staff were more than helpful with fitting the bridal party and family members in for make-up trials, nails, tan and all the other needs. Annette listened to what I did and didnt like, she gave plenty of suggestions and beauty tips along the way. She even done magic wonders with my broken toe nail!!! Lol...thanks Annette. Even suggested eyelashes, which looked amazing in the photos. Annette set up in our hotel room the morning of the wedding. Her make-up collection is endless, she uses all well known products and had plenty of shades and colours to choose from. Annette caters for all generations. She brought relaxation and calmness, everybody was at ease around her. Annette stayed until we were about to leave the hotel and done last minute touched ups. Annette is a true professional, amazing at her job and has a fabulous personality. I would definitley reccommend her to any bride.
Many thanks again Annette.

From the moment my mum & I met Annette for my makeup trial she put us completely at ease. She knew exactly how to create a beautiful natural bridal look & offered great advice on little touches like adding outer eyelashes to finish the look perfectly. On the day of our wedding Annette did my 4 bridesmaid's, my mum & my makeup. She was calm, efficient & even had time for touch ups. Everyone looked & felt amazing! Annette is a fabulous makeup artist :o) I would recommend Annette to any bride.

From the trial right through to the wedding day Annette was more than helpful and offered tips and advice working until i was totally satisfied wit the outcome! She was bang on time and was super efficient in getting started. she had myself, two bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law as well as my grandmother! Even though we all ranged from different age groups and skin types the make up was flawless and everyone was delighted with their look!!!I would definitely recommend Annette to any bride!! Thanks again for everything. x

I got married in September 2011 and Annette did the make-up for myself, my bridesmaid and my mother. She was very professional and we were all thrilled with the final look which was natural with a vintage twist. She arrived in the house on the morning of the wedding and was very relaxed and put us all at ease. I also have to say that she was very patient with me at the make-up trial and she gave very good advice in relation to false eyelashes and which tan would suit my skin tone.I would have no difficulty recommending Annette to any bride.

Annette did the makeup up for our wedding in November 2011. One of the things in relation to the wedding that I was nervous about in the beginning was the makeup. I had never really been satisfied when I did get my makeup done over the years - I felt it didn't suit me & didn't want that to be the case on my wedding day. Once I went for a trial with Annette however I was really put at ease. She listened to what I did and didn't like, suggested things to try, for example doing one eye one colour and the other another colour,to get an idea of different styles. She sourced the lipstick I wanted, gave suggestions on false eyelashes, blusher etc. She was also more than happy to do trials for my mother & mother in law. Annette came to my house on the morning of the wedding & already had my mom made up by the time I got back from the hairdressers! She worked swiftly & efficiently, did a fantastic job on the bridesmaids and even put up with a photographer disrupting her without any problems! I can't recommend her highly enough - she is thoroughly professional and a lovely person as well.

Annette done myself and bridal party september 2011, she's an outstanding make-up artist, when you see what she does you do not have to look any further. She has such a relaxing atmosphere on the day of wedding and aims to all your needs. I'd highly recommend Annette and her team to be part of your wedding preparations (its one less thing to have to stress about at least you know you will look good when she's finished with you) lol. Thanks Annette

Annette did the make up for my wedding in June 2011. I cannot say enough about her. From the relaxing atmosphere she created while getting all my pre wedding bits and pieces done ( a welcome escape from all the madness!) She did an amazing job on my nails etc. On the day she came to the house to do the make up for me, my mom and my 5(!) bridesmaids. She did an absolutely amazing job. Not only did we all feel and look gorgeous but the amount of compliments we recieved on the day and on the photos afterwards from people was phenomenal. She created a lovely pleasant atmosphere while doing a fabulous job. Once again thanks a million for making the day even that more special! x

Annette and her team are true professionals. I had all my pre wedding sessions such as nails, eyelashes, tan etc. done in her salon in Kerry to perfection. On the day of my wedding Annette came to my house and did my Mam's, bridesmaid's and my make up. I was absolutely thrilled with the look she gave me and I really have to say she is just brilliant at what she does. My Mam was as happy with her make up as I was, Annette can do make up for any generation! Not only is just brilliant at what she does she is such a lovely person to be in company with. I can not reccommend her highly enough :) Thank you!
