I recently went to an acquaintance's wedding and ended up contacting the bride after the wedding to find out who did her makeup- Aisling! Aisling's work brought out the bride's natural beauty, and appeared to last throughout the day (which I can't say was true of the makeup I applied to my face myself). Aisling's work was absolutely stunning, and I already have plans to go to her for my bridal makeup!

I would recommend Aisling Powell to anyone looking for a professional make-up artist for their big day. Myself, my bridesmaid, sisters and mum were all delighted with our makeup.
She was professional and gave great guidance with choosing the bridal make-up that helped complete my look. She even managed to cleverly cover, and reassure me about some 'stress blemishes' that in typical fashion decided to appear the day before the wedding. On the day my skin looked flawless.

'I would highly recommend Aisling as make up artist... I was delighted with my make up for my recent wedding in June 2010. Aisling was extremely professional, and put the whole wedding party at ease. Aisling spent a long time discussing with me and going through trial runs with me prior to the wedding day.. she understood completely that I wanted a natural look for the day. I was especially happy that at the end of a very long day and nights dancing that my make up still looked as fresh as when it was first done that morning!' (dad this is louise doherty she said to edit it to make it sound as amazing as possible!!!)

***** (five star) Aisling is fantastic! Lovely to work with and did a brilliant job on the make up for myself,I got exactly what I asked for, and she somehow made me look better then I ever thought I could. She also did my bridesmaids and mother, how she transformed them stunned everyone so much it was even brought up by the best man in his speech! Make up lasted great! Would recommend her highly!

My sisters and I got our hair and make up done by touch perfect before our brother's wedding. It was fun, looked great and stayed put until the wee hours. (No panda eyes or shiny noses.)

Aisling is really friendly and professional. She tailors the look to suit the client with beautiful results.

I had my make-up done by Aisling for a friend's wedding. It looked flawless and I didn't have to touch it up all night!

Best make up artist I have ever used. She chooses colours and styles to suit my face instead of simply opting for the latest trend. I will definately use her for any future events.

She was so professional and fit right in to the busy household and she helped to ease my nerves completely.

My makeup felt so light and I loved it, it was exactly the way I imagined it would look. I looked like myself but a far prettier version of myself. My makeup didn't budge once on the day even though I gave lots of hugs, shed a few tears and tore up the dance floor. At the end of the night, or should I say early morning when we finally finished up my makeup looked like it had just been applied.

Aisling also did my Mother, Aunt and three Bridesmaids and they all looked amazing. The compliments I have been receiving have been incredible and everyone wanted to know who my Makeup Artist was. Thank you for doing such an amazing job".

As a full time singer, I often get my make-up done for stage performances, photoshoots and TV appearances. Aisling Powell is the only make-up artist I trust to make me look and feel fabulous! My skin tone is very uneven with a lot of redness in it but Aisling manages to make it look perfectly smooth and flawless! She knows how to bring out my best features and I'm always thrilled with the results. Not only is she very skilful but she is versatile and imaginative and has created many different looks for me over the years from 50's siren to Celtic Goddess and everything in between! I couldn't recommend her highly enough and she's warm and friendly with it so it's an all round treat to visit Empower studio - AND then you get to emerge looking like a film star! Go, get Empowered!

Aisling and the empower team were wonderful from the hair and make up trial right through to the wedding day. Aisling's very professional but also very good fun and really helped to create a lovely, relaxed atmosphere on the morning of the wedding. She was great at understanding the look I wanted to go for, while having an expert sense of what would suit me and work well in photos.

I would definitely recommend these guys.... and would like to thank Empower Studios for making my wedding day so special. Having sensitive skin was a worry for me but Aisling was so helpful and understanding on all my skin and make up questions beforehand, and on the day she did such an amazing job on making us all look our best. A true professional, I would definitely use them again - I just need an event to go to!!!

Empower Make Up organised the hair and make up for my wedding, including myself, my bridesmaids and my mum and were a pleasure to work with in the run up to and on the day itself of the wedding. They organised everything from hair and make up trials, HD brows and skin preparation. Aisling and Jane travelled to the venue the morning of the wedding and were really relaxed, efficient, professional and best of all, great fun to be around. Our hair and make up lasted all day and we were all delighted with how we looked - we still looked like ourselves, just a much better version! Thanks everyone on the Empower Team, I would recommend you to anyone!

I could not have asked for a better make up artist. Aisling was wonderful both in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. Before the wedding, at the trials, Aisling made sure I was really comfortable with the make up, always taking feedback on board and generally full of wedding advice and knowledge - I could't believe how good I looked. On the day itself, Aisling was so calm and collected and such fun to have in the bridal suite when we were all getting ready. My wedding make up was truly stunning - exactly what I wanted and it looked beautiful in the photos. She also did a fantastic job on the bridesmaids who loved how they looked. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Aisling to any other bride - she really is the ultimate professional and will make you look a million dollars on your big day.

Aisling Powell and her amazing team did the makeup for our wedding in October 2013. From the second I stepped into Empower Studio for my makeup trial I was treated like royalty including a glass of champagne on arrival. On the wedding day everything ran so smoothly and we could not have been happier with the results. Our makeup was so natural yet flawless and exactly what I had hoped for. I will be recommending you to everyone! Thank you SO much for making our day extra special!

?I needed a make up artist to visit celebrity guests of mine in their hotel. Aisling looked after both Kerry Katona, Sharon Gless and Courtney Love's make up for The Saturday Night Show and did a fantastic job. She was highly professional when dealing with such high profile stars. Both women were delighted with their make-up and I wouldn't hesitate to use Aisling again!?

Aisling is adaptable, imaginative and a consumate perfectionist. Her looks are always creative and immaculately put together and she is attune to the needs of team and the collaborative process. Most importantly, she is wonderful to work with, a true professional and always a pleasure to be around.

'Aisling has always been creative and artistic and as a result of this she is not just a make up artist in the typical sense. She can do theatrical looks, she can highlight in a way no one else can and she can also make you look super hot- which let's face it- we all want a make up artist to do'

"Aisling never ceases to amaze me with the many make-up looks she has created for STYLE-TONIC editorial and stock shoots. From dramatic transformations to subtle looks, Aisling nails it every time and I always get excited to see the finished look."
