Dee Buckley Makeup
Baybush, Straffan, Co Kildare
Hi there and congratulations!
I'm a Professional Makeup Artist, specialising in Bridal Makeup. I am based in Straffan, Co. Kildare, but travel Nationwide.
It's such a pleasure and a privilege to be a small part of a Bride's big day! Bridal Makeup is all about beauty - beautiful polished makeup that enhances your natural beauty and also ensures that you and your Bridal Party look amazing and flawless in your photographs, all through the day (and well into the night!). I have always loved Makeup's ability to totally transform confidence, and having sky high confidence is never more important than on your wedding day! I get such joy from seeing my brides (and clients) float away feeling their absolute best and most beautiful.
I use only the highest quality products in my kit (for example Armani, Charlotte Tilbury, NARS and BareMinerals, for their proven finish and longevity. Bridal makeup package also includes top quality lashes if required. On the day of your wedding, I travel to your location and stay with you until you are all dressed and ready to go, to ensure all touch ups and finishing touches are taken care of.
I have many years of experience in the industry and while Bridal Makeup is my main area of expertise (and my passion!) I have also been lucky enough to have had many other amazing opportunities, including working with Gok Wan (I was lead artist for the Gok Wan and Danielle Mahon Fashion and Beauty events throughout Ireland). I have worked on several seasons of Fox TV's hit show "Name that Tune" and have worked on numerous editorial and corporate video/photo shoots. I travelled all over Ireland running events for skincare/cosmetics giant Shiseido (Masterclasses and in-store events).

If you would like to get in touch I would be delighted to provide you with a quotation and answer any queries you may have...
I look forward to hearing from you!

Had my wedding on Friday just gone and honestly I could not have asked for a better makeup artist. From the first time I met Dee at my trail she was amazing, she listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, recommendations and made everything perfect. The wedding morning was so relaxed and Dee put us all at ease right away, my bridesmaids felt and looked amazing. My mother who’s never had makeup down before so was a little anxious felt like a million dollars all thanks the Dee putting all her time, effort and care into creating each look. My own makeup was out of this world, everyone commented on how beautiful and radiant I looked and it didn’t budge once all night. Highly recommend Dee for your bridal makeup. Thanks a million.

A massive thank you to Dee for my Bridal Makeup. It was the first wedding in my family for at least a decade and we had no idea what to expect and Dee brought a lovely calming presence to the wedding morning from the moment she arrived. She is a lovely person to chat to and put us all at ease.
She did a stunning job on my makeup as well as my two bridesmaids and my Mam. We were all delighted with the results. She even took care to do final touchups as we were all heading out of the door!
She was so professional in the leadup to the wedding and the morning I had a makeup trial with her was also a lovely experience. She is just all all round lovely lady!
I would highly recommend Dee to others for their bridal makeup :)

Dee was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. During all the chaos she was a constant calm and you really felt it when on her chair. My makeup was absolutely stunning, so natural and it blended perfectly with the spray tan I had. The same can be said for the moms & bridesmaids. Our makeup lasted until the wee hours of the morning and still looked amazing. Thank you for making me look fabulous on my wedding day Dee. It means the world!

I have had my make up done with Dee before so I knew that I?d like her for my wedding and it was one part of the wedding preparations that I never worried about. Nothing was an issue and she was very responsive and helpful re timings etc on the admin side in the run up to the wedding too. She calmly did her work on the wedding morning, fitting right in with the buzz around her, lovely, reassuring, calming, friendly. I was so happy with how I looked, I don't always like saying that but I knew from the comments I got from others and from the photos that Dee had worked her magic. She is the ultimate professional, really good at her job and lovely too, I would highly recommend her and am looking forward to finding another opportunity to get my make up done with her

Thank you so so much Rosemary..I really appreciate it! It was a total pleasure, I loved being part of your morning, and you were absolutely stunning! Looking forward to seeing you soon again and hearing all the stories of the day. Dee xx

Dee was fabulous to work with. She was super responsive throughout the entire process. She captured the exact look I wanted! I don't wear a lot of makeup day-to-day, so I really wanted a subtle style. Some of my bridesmaids wanted a lot more glam, and Dee delivered on that style as well! She is the perfect calming presence on the morning-of. I highly recommend Dee!

Dee effortlessly completed the make-up for the bride, 2 bridesmaids, mother of bride and sister of bride. The house was extremely busy on the morning with people everywhere but Dee calmly worked through it all. She has the most soothing and calming manner which made me totally relax. Dee stayed at the house right until I left to make any last minute finishes. She set me up for the day by not only doing an amazing job on my make up but calming my nerves and truly relaxing me for the best day ever. Thank you so much Dee.

I got married at the end of March and I am so happy Dee did mine, my bridal party's and my mother-in-law's makeup.
I don't usually wear makeup, so I was a little apprehensive about finding a makeup artist. I'm also half Italian, half Indonesian, so I was also a little worried about finding someone that will be able to work with my skin tone.
However, from the very first correspondence, Dee was so lovely. When I came in for my trial, she immediately made me feel at ease. She was very attentive to what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with the result and knew she was the right person for me.
On the day itself, everything felt very relaxed. Dee is not just a talented makeup artist, but she is also a beautiful person that made everyone feel like they were chatting with a friend. She had to work with four people that have very different complexions, and it was no bother to her.
We all felt amazing and the makeup held up so well all day. It actually didn't feel like we had any makeup on, which for someone who doesn't wear makeup on the regular, is amazing!
I cannot recommend Dee enough. If you have a special day coming up, you can trust Dee to make you feel your absolute best.
Thank you again, Dee.

Dee is incredibly talented. I was blown away with my makeup on my wedding day. I've never been so happy with getting my makeup done.
I was also blown away by her kindness, i just knew i could trust her. I also knew she was going to be amazing as both the beauty salon and hairdresser I go to had praised her. If you haven't looked up Dee's instagram page you need to. You won't regret having her do your wedding make up.
I'm looking forward to getting Dee to do my makeup sometime in the near future! I wouldn't go to anyone else now.

I have had the absolute pleasure of having Dee do my make up on a few occasions. Dee is such a professional and so friendly and I always come away feeling and looking a million dollars, she has the magic touch! No matter what the occasion she just knows what look suits that occasion! I couldn't recommend Dee highly enough. So if you haven't looked her up you are missing out! See you again soon!

Got my make up done for myself and my bridal party by Dee for my wedding.
I was very nervous as this was my first time every getting someone to do my makeup and I didn't go for a trial run.
I told her what I wanted and that I.had never worn eyelashes before and was afraid they would be very heavy on my eyes but she reassured me everything would look natural.
When she was finished I could believe how good it looked, I was delighted with the results. Thank you Dee xx

Dee was absolutely wonderful to deal with, so professional and really put at ease that day when the nerves were a little high! She also did my moms makeup which was stunning on her. My mum remarked on how well her makeup lasted during the day. I have since had my face done by Dee as she is that lovely to deal with.

Are you sure?
This action cannot be undone
Dee was, without question, my saving grace for my wedding morning. She is calm and sweet & as soon I I got in her chair I could breathe. All of the stress of the day melted away. She assured me all way going to be okay and spoke to me calmly, listened to everything I wanted. And executed it perfectly. She exceeded my expectations. I was floored & had told her that she made me look and feel more beautiful than ever. All of that talent wrapped up in the most beautiful energy of a human.
I shall be forever grateful for Dee not only for her sheer talent at what she does, but also for her giving me the gift of being able to savor a beautiful moment.
With 100 thank you and hugs.
One happy Bride, Rachel Scarcella
