Ellie did an amazing job - from the day of the trial I knew I was in safe hands for the main event. She really does listen to what you want and will guide you to what will work and latest colours. Ellie is an absolute professional, I would recommend her to any bride. I felt flawless and beautiful all day. Thanks Ellie - keep up the good work.

Thanks Ellie for the fantastic makeup which you did for me on my wedding day. After you had done the make up for me as a bridesmaid for my sister's wedding my only worry was that you wouldn't be free for my own big day! Thankfully you were. Not only did you make my makeup look natural (but still special) and it lasted all day, but you also kept me so calm in those nervy hours before the church. I just wish my makeup could look that good every time I was going out. Thanks so much.

My day would not have been the same without Ellie??her professionalism, generosity and sheer brilliance and attention to detail was outstanding. Ellie made me feel like a princess and was such an added pleasure to have around with all my family on the morning of my wedding. Ellie was an unbelievable calming influence on us all?.god knows what could have happened if she wasn't there!!

I couldn't recommend Ellie Balfe highly enough. She did the make up for my wedding recently. She was simply fantastic, taking time to truly listen to what I wanted and producing a look we (myself and the bridesmaids) were all really happy with. Ellie is a true professional and also has a wonderful personality which helps calm any nerves you may have on the day.
