From the first email I sent to Audrey, I knew I was in good hands. She was very quick to respond and she made the whole process seamless. I wasn't sure which type of look I wanted for my wedding and Audrey was kind enough to offer me two trials, to try out both looks. On the wedding day Audrey was on time and got all of us ready within the allocated time. Everyone looked amazing and we got so many compliments on our make up. My make up didn't budge all day and I was so sad to wipe it all off that night as it really was the best make up application I have ever had. I cannot wait for Audrey to paint my face again. Not only is she a absolutely fantastic MUA, but she is also a genuine lovely person. I cannot recommend Audrey enough!

You were an absolute dream to work with & looked sensational on your wedding day. It was the best morning spent with the most loveliest of people, thank you again for having me & hopefully someday I will get to paint that beautiful face of yours again.

Wishing you both a life full of love & joy xx

Audrey was so professional from start to finish, her experience shines through and is such a calm presence on the day. We all couldn't get over her efficiency on the day. It was such a relaxed atmosphere on the morning and Audrey definitely contributed to that. I, along with all my bridesmaids and especially my mam (who hates too much make up) were absolutely delighted with our make up. Lasted all day and hated taking it off at the end of night!
Thank you so much Audrey xx
Response from Essence of Beauty - Audrey O'Connor
Aisling thank you so much, it really was a lovely relaxed morning with you all & thats exactly what you want the morning of your wedding.
You looked absolutely beautiful with an amazing glow about you!
I'm so thrilled your mum loved her makeup,she is such a beautiful lady, I often find mums, if not use to wearing much makeup can be a lil anxious which is totally understandable, it's all about finding the balance, keeping it natural & to where they feel comfortable, by creating a polished version of themselves & enhancing their natural beauty.

Love Audrey x

I found Audrey on this website. I have lived abroad for a few years so wasn't sure who to get locally for my bridal make up but I am delighted I found Audrey. From start to finish Audrey was so easy to work with. I did my trial a year out as it suited when I was home and once I had my trial I had no concerns as I knew Audrey was amazing at what she does! On the morning Audrey arrived early and was so calm and enjoyable to have in the house. She did make up for 5 of us and we all looked fab! My make up did not need to be topped up once during the day, even with taking photos outside in the rain at times and dancing the night away! Audrey listened to each of the girls and ensured that their make up was glam and suited their individual styles! I hope I can go to Audrey again for make up as I loved it! I would highly recommend Audrey as your wedding make up artist.
Response from Essence of Beauty - Audrey O'Connor
Thank you so much Sinead, I'm so very pleased you found me here at Weddings Online such an amazing website for brides when planning a wedding & especially when living abroad which I'm sure can be difficult.
It was an honour to be a part of your wedding & thank you for making me feel so welcome, you and your girls looked incredible & I look forward to seeing your professional photos very soon.
Love & laughter always

1000% recommend Audrey for makeup, tan, nails- the works. As someone who hates getting her makeup done Audreyade me feel so at ease and did my makeup perfectly. I literally didn’t touch it all day- I don’t know what she does but it literally does not cake, wear off or budge. She made me feel like me, just a better version if that makes sense? Definitely worth booking. She did my makeup, my five bridesmaids and my mum and sister and had us all ready ahead of time. Easy going, fun and kind, would definitely book again!!

Audrey was amazing on the morning of my wedding and in the lead up to it. She is kind, friendly and professional. She kept us all at ease and was a great presence all morning. Her makeup looks are unreal. I got so many compliments from the guests about my makeup and it still looked good almost 24 hours after application! Would highly recommend :)

Audrey was incredible from the first time I got in contact with her all the way through to my wedding day. I had a trial which allowed us to make some tweaks and on the wedding day itself my makeup was flawless. My skin was glowing and I felt completely like myself, Audrey is a true talent! She made us all feel at ease and my bridesmaids and mum never looked better. Here’s hoping I get the chance again to have my makeup done by Audrey!

Audrey was very professional and helpful from start to finish. At my make up trial she offered lots of guidance and was so patient in making sure I was 100% happy with the final look. She made the morning of the wedding very relaxed and was so kind to everyone. She really took on board everyone’s make up preferences and everyone was absolutely delighted with their make up. We got so many compliments and it lasted all day and night.
Im so happy Audrey did my make up for our big day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

I was delighted when Audrey said she was available for my wedding day. She is a fabulous makeup artist. She knows the ins and outs of every product she uses and was very considerate when it came to me putting in suggestions of my own. Not to mention she is a lovely person who has such a calming influence. I felt so relaxed the morning of the wedding and I absolutely loved my makeup. My bridesmaids looked beautiful and everyone's makeup stayed on perfectly until the early hours of the morning.
If you are lucky enough to have Audrey available on your big day I would absolutely recommend her. You will be in such good hands.
Thank you so much Audrey xx

I found Audrey absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. At first she offered solid guidance and advice and was available at any point I wished to discuss my wedding makeup any further. Then, on the day she was phenomenal. So pleasant to be around and so kind to everyone. She really listened to and carried out everybody’s various requests as asked. We all got so many compliments on our make up and each of us agreed we’ve never had a better experience in having our makeup done. So glad Audrey was available for my big day. And would highly highly recommend her to anyone.

I was so happy to have Audrey as my MUA for my wedding. As someone who has had some negative associations with artists, I was so delighted to have Audrey on the day - her professionalism and relaxed manner put myself and the other girls all at ease. Some of the bridal party had never had professional make up, and Audrey took the time with all of them to give them beautiful looks; all of them said they’d never felt so good! For my own makeup, Audrey was super at listening to what I felt worked, while also offering brilliant suggestions to go with my skin tone/hair. The makeup stayed on perfectly the entire day and night, and was light as a feather to wear. it made me sad to take it off at the end. I’m so happy I booked Audrey x

Audrey is the perfect make up artist for the morning of anyone’s wedding ! From the moment I emailed her prompt response and willingness to travel put me at ease. Her creative talent and calmness is something that made my bridal experience perfect. She advised all the best products to use for my full glam look! Having her apart of the big day we had such fun the morning of with all the bridesmaids and mum. Her patience to each person meant that each person getting their make up done matched their personality's best and her timing was perfect.

A fantastic makeup artist, would definitely recommend and use again and again. Audrey is truly a make up genius.

Audrey did my make up for myself, my bridal party, my mum and not forgetting my little girl who was my flowergirl on my wedding day. I knew I was in safe hands from the moment I met her.

How I came across Audrey... One of my closest friends had Audrey do her make up for her own wedding and I thought she looked amazing, her make up was flawless and she had a fab glow about her. I knew instantly I had to contact her to see if she was free for my own wedding! Thankfully she was! I remember the day so well as I had no sooner sent her a message when she replied moments later!

My make up trial went brilliant, I got so many compliments on my make up and I absolutely loved it myself. She was such a perfectionist making sure I was happy with everything etc.

On the day of the wedding she knew exactly what to do as she'd taken all her notes on my bridal look and she made the morning so chilled and relaxing. We had such a fab morning chatting and being pampered by Audrey. I loved my make up so much, it was everything I had imagined and I got so many compliments on it. My mum and my three bridesmaids looked flawless also. They were delighted with their make up. She even had great time for my little girl who's almost two. She sat on my knee and even got some lippy! Audrey stayed until we left for the ceremony and gave us all numerous touch ups.

I would highly recommend Audrey to anyone and already have recommended her to friends. Thanks for everything on my big day. I'm so glad I chose you and would love to have my make up done with you again sometime!

Wedding on 9th Feb 2024
I got married 9th February this year. Audrey did myself , 4 bridesmaids and my mum. Audrey was at our house and ready to start at 6:15am , she got through all 6 of us and was finished before 11am.
2 of my bridesmaids had never had their makeup done before as they’re well able to manage it themselves so they were nervous for it but were absolutely blown out of the water with their finished result.
I went for my trial not having a clue what I wanted and let Audrey work her magic and wow she did not disappoint, I didn’t think the makeup could have been any better on the day but it just turned out so amazing. The makeup photographs so well and lasted all day and night. The only thing I had in my bag was my lipstick and did not need any touch ups !!!
I can not thank Audrey enough for her unbelievable talent and skill. She was so calmed and relaxed on the day and absolutely flew though us all. Anything the bridesmaids asked for she executed it to perfection. Even provided us with a handheld ring light to take a couple of selfies ourselves lol !!
I can not emphasis Audrey’s abilities enough but can guarantee you are in very safe hands.
Thank you so much again Audrey, it was an absolute pleasure !!!! Xx

Audrey did the make up for me & my wedding party including 3 bridesmaids and my mother, on New Year's Eve in Ballina, Co.Mayo. Audrey who travels far and wide and ever the professional was on the road bright & early and landed to the house at the exact time specified. She was so friendly and kept the chat going throughout the morning alongside the hairdresser. They worked so in sync and made the process seamless for all involved!

Audrey knew from doing my make up previously exactly how I wanted to look on my big day and without doing a trial was able to recreate the perfect bridal style for me as well as a suitable style for all my bridal party. My make-up lasted all day, through a bout of first look tears & all through a night of mad dancing without need for any touch-ups.

My 2 year old niece Isla, a budding make-up artist in training, was also greatly facilitated by Audrey on the day as Isla's offers to help were met with a giggle, a smile and a positive response with the offer of a make-up sponge and brush for Isla to use! This really assisted us to keep her occupied for a portion of the morning as the beauty preparation continued.

For any bride thinking of booking Audrey for their big day, you can't go wrong! I couldn't recommend anyone more honest, friendly, patient and calm than Audrey. Her prices are also so budget friendly.

Thanks Audrey x

Audrey did myself, my 4 bridesmaids and my mams make up for my wedding on the 30-12-2023.
When I got engaged and started the wedding planning process, I just had to make sure Audrey was available before I locked in and set the date as I wouldn't have anyone else do my bridal make up. She did my sister's wedding 8 years ago so I knew just how amazing she was!!
Audrey has such a calm presence on one of the biggest days of your life, and had everyone look absolutely stunning, enhancing everyone's natural beauty and making us all look so flawless. She really is so super talented at what she does. And not to mention our make up literally did not budge all day and night, it was just perfect.
For any future brides - if you are lucky enough to have Audrey available for your big day, do not hesitate in booking her. I really cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Audrey for making me and the girls look and feel a million dollars!

Audrey is amazing at what she does and so professional to deal with from start to finish. She knows exactly what you like and what suits each complexion and makes the process so easy. She was a pleasure to have there on the morning of the wedding, so warm, friendly and easy going. Each of us were so happy with our make up and it lasted all day and night, through wind in December and dancing into the early hours! I was so happy with my make up on the day and given I didn't really know what I wanted, she pulled out all the stops to make sure I was happy. The best in the business. ????

I feel so lucky to have had Audrey look after our make up on my wedding day. She is an absolute star! Audrey was responsive and helpful throughout our email communication and she was flexible in her facilitation of my make up trial. Audrey was so welcoming when I arrived at her studio in Ballinasloe and we had great chats. She is a genuinely lovely person. During the trial, she took the time to really listen to my hopes for my wedding make up and paid such attention to detail. I came away so happy with my make up and beyond excited for the big day.

Audrey was such a warm, calming presence on the morning of the wedding. She made us all feel at ease all the while being so meticulous with her work! We all adored our make up. I have quite oily skin which is usually a concern when wearing make up for longer periods of time. My wedding make up held up all day (no need to re-powder!) and there is not a single photo where I look oily! I am over the moon. I could not recommend Audrey enough for any future bride- she is a master at her craft!

Looking back at my photos I feel so lucky to have her on the biggest day of my life.
One by one she enhanced our natural beauty in the most calming way. There were 5 of us to do up and as each of us were blown away as she made each of us up
Looking naturally beautiful.
Flawless and natural would be two word I could describe my look on the day. The make up did not budge on any of us. We were thrilled with her work.
If you are a future bride, and are lucky to secure Audrey you are in safe hands here.
At the time of the trial, she recommended some products to help my skin. I'd recommend bring a pic of a look you like. Then you can show rather than try describe what you like.

Finally a huge thank you Audrey , I truly belive I could not have looked any better on my day
.I felt a million dollars thanks to my fab team but make up is so important ,
and that was all down to you.
So if there's an award out there for the most amazing ,talented & nicest MUA Audrey deserves it.

From the trial all the way to the end of the aisle, she was so supportive and professional and made me and my bridal party feel and look like superstars. She was such a calm presence for me on the morning and she worked seamlessly with our hair dresser, photographer and wedding coordinator. There is a clear reason why she is so highly recommended. My bridal party already wanted to hire her again for upcoming celebrations! Thanks so much Audrey.

For any bride to be's starting out with the planning process, you don't need to look any further for a makeup artist. Audrey is a absolutely incredible at what she does and she is such a lovely bubbly person also which really added to our morning getting ready. From the trial I had no doubts with the makeup. She listened to what I wanted and on the day I was thrilled with how it turned out both for myself and the whole bridal party. I am only sorry I hadn't discovered her sooner. It's always a good sign when Charlotte Tilbury gives praise on your wedding pictures because of the makeup ???????? 10/10! Thanks again Audrey x

Audrey was fantastic, so personable and chatty and I loved my make up for my wedding. She knew exactly what I wanted and what suited me. It lasted perfectly and I very since bought some of the products she used. My 2 year old daughter also took a shine to her and Audrey helped while we were getting ready. Above and beyond! Thanks so much.

Audrey is a true professional, she helped me perfect my wedding look in my bridal trial and was able to recreated it even better than before on the day of my wedding! She's warm, friendly and extremely chatty, she fitted right in with everyone on the day, which is extremely important! She stays for last minute touch ups which is so handy!
My sister had Audrey for her wedding back in September 2019 and I knew from that day on if I was ever to get married she would be the only one who I?d ask to do my makeup!
Thanks so much again Audrey, you were a dream to work with ????????????????

I was very lucky to have Audrey O?Connor as my make-up artist for my wedding. Audrey is simply the best. She listens exactly to what you want for your wedding make-up. She gave me advice on how to prepare my skin for wedding and recommended a product for me which mostly definitely helped the look and feel of my skin. There was 8 people to cater for the morning of my wedding-Audrey and Jess provided a chilled, relaxed and calm atmosphere exactly want we had desired the morning of the wedding. Honestly, to any future brides out there looking for a make-up artist for the wedding or any event- you are in safe hands with Audrey.
Thank you again Audrey and Jess for your work and for being apart of my wedding day. Gr? m?r, Fiona x

Audrey was absolutely amazing to work with.
We unfortunately had to change dates quite a lot due to covid and Audrey was so accommodating for all our date changes and thankfully I was able to have her on my day.
I booked a trial with Audrey and she was so thorough and detailed so for the morning of the wedding she knew exactly what to do with out the stress.
She was so professional and really helped me relax when the morning got super busy. She had sucha calm energy and that's exactly what we needed. Everybody commented on the makeup and on how beautiful it was and all my bridesmaid were so delighted that Audrey gave them the looks they wanted.
Overall we were so happy with Audrey. I can't wait for another excuse to get my makeup done by Audrey.
Can not recommend enough. Xx

The morning of the wedding she made me feel so relaxed , it was like having a friend in the room , she was calm and just a lovely lady to have around us all , she stead right up till I was leaving incase we needed anything topped up . Myself, my Mam and my bridesmaids loved our makeup and it lasted all day . I had 3 little flowergirls who were in awe at her all morning and she didn't leave them out letting them sit on the chair and have there lipgloss done, they were delighted . I would highly recommend Adurey , she is not just super talented but a lovely lady . I can never thank her enough for the way she made me feel on my wedding day .

She always asked my opinion, my likes and dislikes and honesty created the most beautiful look for me. Her skills go beyond make up as she gave me a few tips on how to keep those tears at bay aswell. Audrey has such an amazing, calm and positive presence, exactly what is needed the morning of a wedding. I would highly recommend Audrey to everyone. I honestly can't thank her enough for all her work

My mam, bridesmaids and I were so happy with our make up, I like a natural look but for my eyes to pop and she got that exactly right. None of us had to touch up our make up at all during the day which was amazing.

It was so nice having Audrey as part of my wedding morning, she was so friendly and nice and calming and we just had a really lovely morning, my dad is still talking about how friendly she was. I honestly feel so lucky to have had Audrey as part of my day, would highly recommend.

There is a reason Audrey comes highly recommended. I unfortunately was a Covid bride and had booked Audrey for my original date. When we had to move that out a year, Audrey wasn't available but was ready and willing to recommend another artist, which to me is the height of professionalism. Thankfully on our 4th date, Audrey was available. She was so calm the morning of the wedding, put everyone at ease. She painted 7 faces that morning with absolute calm and everyone looked stunning. She catered to everyone's makeup style as we didn't have a theme except 'make everyone look amazing' which she did :) I'll definitely hire her for my next wedding lol

It was an absolute pleasure to have Audrey as part of our day. Audrey was relaxed, professional, attentive and lovely while applying make up to myself (bride) 3 bridesmaids, one MOB and sister in law. We all absolutely loved our make up and I genuinely think it was the best make up I have ever got done, she listened to exactly what we all wanted and I am very fussy with my eyebrows but she did them exactly how I wanted. Audrey really ensured the morning was stress free and all of us commented on how lovely Audrey was. A special shout out to Audrey for taking the time to apply a bit of make up to my young niece and also at one stage she was ironing my sister in law's dress. I can't recommend Audrey enough and she was certainly one of my favourite suppliers. Thanks again xx

I could not recommend Audrey enough. I know lots of brides who had their make up done by Audrey so it was a no brainer when I was booking a make up artist. I was just hoping she was available and thankfully she was. Audrey was just amazing on the morning. Not only was she doing our make up, she was keeping everyone calm (especially me!), fixing button holes and lots more. My make up lasted until 5:30am. everyone was commenting on how fresh it looked even after all the dancing! I absolutely loved it.

I knew from the moment I had my trial with Audrey that she was exactly the make up artist I was looking for. She was so attentive to detail, uses products of the highest quality and takes note of exactly the style you describe.
On my wedding morning she arrived at my house and she has such a calm manner about her we all instantly felt at ease in her presence. All 3 bridesmaids, MOTB and myself were delighted with our results. We recently received our wedding photos back and my makeup on the day was flawless and lasted right throughout the night! This is all thanks to Audrey! I couldn't recommend her more! An absolute pleasure to work with ????

I was honoured to have Audrey as my make up artist for our wedding in Portugal. As soon as we got engaged I reached out to Audrey to book in the date and she was very responsive and came back to me straight away. Unfortunately we had to postpone our original date because of Covid but Audrey was very helpful and rescheduled the date and made me feel at ease with this change. From start to finish the process was seamless with Audrey, we did a trial a month ahead of the wedding which was great for both of us as she got to know my skin, tone etc. and I got to know what make up and colours suited me the best. Before the wedding I had heard about Audrey's health issues and I thought that she would not make it to Portugal but she had me rest assured she would be there. I could not believe my eyes to see her the morning of the wedding in my bridal suite in great spirits. Audrey is a true professional at what she does but also is a calming influence to be around. My make up and the bridal party make up was amazing, I got so many compliments about it and it stayed put all day with no touch ups needed. I would highly recommend Audrey to anyone, she's the best make up artist!

Audrey has a whole range of make up looks to suit every bride. I personally went the natural look for my big day but if you look into her portfolio she does the big glam also! Being able to do it all makes choosing her for your big day a no brainer! Her makeup lasted on myself and my four bridesmaid, the MOB, MOG, GMOG and my auntie from 7am until 5:30am!

Not alone is Audrey talented! She's also the perfect person to have around on your big day. She is so chilled, easy going and positive and definately added to a lovely atmosphere the morning of my wedding. She had a massive bridal group to do in the morning and she whizzed through them with such care and attention I don't know how she managed to do it all!

I would recommend getting in touch with Audrey and looking through her pictures, awards and online accounts. You won't have a single regret! Other than wishing she could be around to do your makeup everyday!!!

I could not even begin to recommend Audrey more. She was an absolute dream to work with on the morning of the wedding.
She is so professional & talented.
We had a large group of hyper excited ladies on the morning of the wedding & she could not have put us at ease any more.
She was so understated & floated around all morning - we barely noticed she was there at times! She made everyone feel at ease, all the while painting the most amazing & flawless make up. She executed the exact look everyone had asked for.
She is a real gem & I would 100% have chosen her again.

Audrey was an absolute breath of fresh air on our wedding morning. She had such a calming presence and was so down to earth.

She did such a good job on my bridesmaids and mother - they looked absolutely beautiful! My mother wouldn't typically wear make up and she did a look that was so soft and natural, but still glamorous, she was over the moon!

I adored my make up by Audrey. From trial to morning of, she was full of great advice and knowledge, and really worked with me to create my dream bridal make up.

Thank you so so much Audrey - I couldn't recommend you more. You are worth your weight in gold!

On the morning audrey arrived at our home and nothin was an issue for her! She was so professional and so calm it really reflected on all of us! We have two daughters and of course make up mad and she fussed about them as much as myself so this little touch made their day, as the morning went on she didn't rush us in any way and yet everybody was done to perfection! She double checked everyone before we left the house and did touch ups on myself! Audrey is professional and made my day super! Make up was perfect throughout the whole day! And with rain and wind it stayed on! Would highly recommend audrey! Definite 10/10

I cannot recommend Audrey enough for so many reasons. We had to reschedule our wedding three times due to covid and she was so kind and accommodating throughout all of this. She was so helpful in the trial giving me loads of tips on how to look my best on the day and on the day itself Audrey was an absolute pleasure to have there. From sharing the laughs with us all, to calming me down when the nerves started to appear, I'm really glad she was part of it. All of our makeup was stunning, it lasted all day and she knew exactly how to complement each of our looks. Not only is she really talented at what she does, she is just such a lovely person to be around - I highly recommend booking her!

I cannot say enough great things about Audrey! As a bride, there will naturally be many stressful moments, so that's why it was important to work with a true professional in bridal make up. Audrey is not only extremely talented but also brought such an air of calm on the morning of the wedding. She made me and my bridal party feel beautiful on the outside, and also had a way of keeping things zen throughout the entire time. She truly knows how to bring out your best features while making sure you look like you on your big day! I am always afraid of having too much make up on, but I showed her 2-3 pictures and she knew exactly what was needed and honestly could not nit pick one thing I didn't like about my make up. It was just perfect. I'll never forget us all listening to our tunes and having a laugh with the bridal party the morning of my wedding day. Thank you for being simply wonderful!

She's also so lovely to be around - so calm, kind, and super easy to chat to - exactly the kind of person you'd want to be around on your wedding morning. She had 5 of us to do for makeup and had everyone ready on time with no rushing or pressure at all. She was also great in the run-up - my trial was so helpful and she really took the time to make sure I was 100% happy with everything. And her selection of products is fantastic - such good quality and everything you could ever want! She was also great with all the uncertainty around restrictions due to covid - really accommodating and reassuring which was so so appreciated as the run-up was tough not knowing what we were planning for.

She offered recommendations and suggustions. On the day of the wedding I knew myself and my bridal party were in great hands. They girls looked stunning and Audrey made me feel a million dollars. Audrey was calm, organised and had her timings down to a T. Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make the morning special and relaxing. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone.

We had a bridal party of 6 and she was calm, relaxed, understanding and fun throughout the whole morning, despite the madness and excitement. I enjoyed every minute of the prep and my make up lasted the entire day (even into the next day too!!). I would 100% recommend Audrey to any bride. X

Where do I start with Audrey?! I was very picky with a makeup artist for my wedding as I wanted someone who was calm, experienced and not affiliated to particular brands. I really struck gold!
Audrey is so responsive and went out of her way to help me in the lead up to the wedding - she even offered to open the salon for me on Stephens's day as my wedding was on the 28th! She has every makeup product you could think of from a gazillion brands.
My skin look a million dollars on the day even though I had spots and never got a facial before hand. My makeup lasted all day and all night (which never happens to me) and looked so natural. She had a very early start coming down to Clare and nothing was an issue despite the last minute rush on the morning of. Audrey is very calm and collected on the day and waited until I was leaving for the church for final touchups (most vendors only do the job and leave). She even helped me getting into the car with my veil! I cannot recommend her enough in fact you dont even need a trial as her work is perfect :)

She made the whole morning so relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks Audrey!

Nothing we asked was to much trouble.she stayed with us up until we left for the church incase of any top up. Her work is amazing the best iv ever seen, she really listened to what we wanted and gave it to us. So many people complemented me on my make up, it lasted all day and came out so well in photos.

She did what I asked and more. I was so delighted with my makeup on the day and left the house feeling so confident and pretty. I received so many compliments as did my bridesmaids and mum. The girls were trilled with their makeup on the day too looking so elegant but still so natural. Audrey's personality is what sets her apart she is so calm and cool on the day, is in no rush or panic to go home stayed to take photos of us, did last minute touch ups and asked me how I was feeling that morning, which was very kind. I would highly recommend her to any future brides.

I could write 1000 words about how great Audrey and her work is which she has done at my wedding day- but of course these words aren't enough.
Everything was absolutely perfect - from the first contact ( I am based in Germany) til her on point arriving at my special day. And of course the makeups of me and my guests! It was the most perfect preparation ever I really couldn't be in better hands then Audrey's. I am so glad that I decided to ask her for these important part each bride has to go through! I really enjoyed to have her around, she was so so professional. If you ever looking for an artist - choose her if she is available!!! It was the most perfect makeup I ever had and will have! For me it was a perfect, natural wedding look and also all of my female guests looked amazing! I highly recommend Audrey to everyone. Greetings from Germany , Caroline

Audrey did the makeup for my wedding day and she was so professional from start to finish. She had my two bridesmaids and my granny looking and feeling absolutely fabulous as well as myself and I was so delighted with how my makeup turned out. She did such a brilliant job; I didn't have to reapply or touch up anything other than lipstick and got so many compliments. It lasted even until the early hours. Even my makeup trial was excellent and I'm fussy with makeup but didn't have to change a thing; Audrey just knew exactly how to achieve what I wanted. I would highly recommend Audrey to any future bride. She was so kind and easy going to have around on the morning of the wedding. Thanks again Audrey.

She was so professional and you wouldn't even know she was in the house that morning. She waited around until we left for the church to make sure everything was okay. My junior bridesmaid was 13 and her makeup looked so natural. When I got my makeup trial, Audrey told me I could change anything I wanted and I didn't have to change one thing. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone for their wedding. She is so professional and easy to work with.

On the day itself she was so accommodating with an unavoidable late bridesmaid and all elements that happen on the day itself. I was delighted with my make up as I wanted a very specific look (Hollywood glamour) and she did it to perfection! Everyone commented on my makeup and seeing my bridesmaids - they looked stunning. And to top it off she is just the lovliest person you could meet. Honestly you won't be disappointed if you book her:)
Thanks for much Audrey

Audrey from Essence of Beauty is absolutely amazing. She was my make up artist for my wedding in May of this year. She did an amazing job of not only my make up but also the make up of my three bridesmaids. Her attention to detail is second to none. During my make up trial she was happy to try multiple looks and gave great advice on products to use in the run up to the wedding. I still have people commenting on my make up from the day and asking who did it. She even made our flower girl feel like a princess with a little bit of lip gloss. I couldn't recommend Audrey highly enough. I can't wait for an excuse to go back to Essence of Beauty again.

Getting organised for the wedding I wanted a make up artist that would make me look different than I normally would going to a wedding and just go way different and vintage for the big day. I had heard people rave about Audrey and when I looked up her Facebook pictures I found out why wow is the only word to use. I quickly contacted Audrey to book her for the date in case she would be gone I was so happy when she said the date was available I remember thinking god I know she's going be amazing and make me look gorgeous on the day. I booked a trial and all I can say is wow I just remember thinking oh my god is that me she did such a wow job and I paid a deposit on the spot because I knew she was the make up artist for me. She recommended me products to buy on the day for wedding lipstick powder ect. Everything I told Audrey I wanted my expectations were exceeded and I knew that was the exact look I wanted on wedding day. Audrey made me and my bridal party and mother feel beautiful and they all looked amazing and I felt so beautifull on the day because of Audrey. I wanted the vintage look and red lips and that exactly what I got she did an amazing job on my Make up and made me feel like a million dollars and I'll always be so grateful for her making me feel like that because I wanted the wow feeling on my wedding day and that's what I got because of Audrey. She is fun and just a lovely person and in fairness she has the patience of a saint with all the questions I asked her and messages I sent her I know I must have drove her mad but she never gave out to me or Said a word to me. I would recommend Audrey to every bride she is worth every penny and more being honest I would of paid her anything she asked because she was so brilliant. I do know one thing if you want to feel wow on your wedding day well then Audrey in my opinion is the only person to book.She deserves all the credit because she is a amazing make up artist .I did work experience with AUdrey when I was only 15 or 16 and I doubt she even remembers this I never got a chance to say it to her and it's hard to believe she ended up doing my wedding Make up years on and my mother goes to Audrey beautican regularly for years and Audrey is the only make up mam loved who did her make up and loves Audrey anyway and always raves about how lovely she is and loves going in to her. Mam was do glad when I booked Audrey for this reason because she knew Audrey wound be so lovely. Audrey deserves the best and more and I wish her continued success in the future..

She is also extremely professional and a brides dream to work with. She had two bridesmaids and our mam to do and she made our morning so relaxed. She arrived exactly on time and even had a few extra jobs to do, fixing dresses/headpieces. I really cannot compliment her enough. She knows what suits each person. She really brought out everyone's natural beauty. She brought her own light, chair and an incredible range of products. She really made me feel at ease on the day.My bridesmaids and I didn't have to top our make up up once. I would highly recommend Audrey to any bride.

Our make up on the day was just beautiful and lasted until the late hours without not one top up bar lipstick, the amount of compliments i recieved on the day is testiment to that.

I cannot praise Audrey enough for her talent and professionalism in both the lead up to and the day of our wedding. From my first contact with Audrey she was so reassuring and nothing was ever an issue. On the morning of the wedding Audrey was so relaxed and really added to a lovely atmosphere despite having 6 ladies to beautify! Audrey is a complete perfectionist and didn't finish until everyone was perfect, everybody absolutely loved their makeup and I can't recommend her any higher to other brides!

There are just no words to describe how talented Audrey is. From the minute I got engaged I wanted Audrey to do my makeup. She is THE best makeup artist around and coupled with her personality, there's no other person you'd want doing your makeup the morning of your wedding. It was really important for me that the morning would be as relaxed as possible and Audrey is such a calming influence she's a joy to be around. The great thing about Audrey is that she knows exactly what would suit you and also listens and understands what you want. She's also brilliant when you are really unsure and helps you make your decision! She's a total perfectionist, i just love looking back at my wedding pictures and i'm just so happy with my make up, my two bridesmaids and my mam. My mam was apprehensive about getting her makeup done as she doesn't wear much and Audrey put her totally at easy. She's a true pro and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Audrey xx

Not enough stars, Audrey did a fantastic job on us all everyone was thrilled with their make up and we didn't have to touch it all night (and the early hours of the morning). I couldn't have been happier with my make up, it was a pleasure having Audrey with us the morning of our wedding. There was 6 of us for make up in total and Audrey was so relaxed and professional. Very talented lady highly recommend.

Two words to describe Audrey O?Connor and what she does.... ?exceptionally talented?. Audrey worked her magic for my wedding day on August 10th. There were four of us in the bridal party, my mam, 2 bridesmaids and myself. She did an amazing job on all four and was so professional throughout her applications. She is a perfectionist at what she does. Not once on the day did we have to touch up our makeup. She arrived at my home house on time and made the morning very relaxed and had some great advice to give. One thing that will stand out in my mind always is that she asked if I would mind if she stayed to see my parents reactions to my dress. She had finished all our makeup but showed her true character and genuine love of weddings and the emotions that go along with same. I cannot recommend Audrey enough, she is truly talented at what she does and I am delighted that she was available to do our wedding.

There isn't enough stars here for how I would rate Audrey and how she made me and my family look and feel on my Wedding day. Where would i start? WOW!!! It was just flawless. I told Audrey what I wanted & she couldn't have done more for me, it was just amazing & exceeded all expectations. I received so many lovely compliments. I couldn't recommend her enough. I even heard my sister's say it was the best make up they ever got. It lasted all day, not requiring any touch ups. Audrey is a lovely woman, a great chat and excellent at what she does. She made me feel like a princess. I can't thank you enough Audrey xx

Audrey was absolutely fantastic on both the lead up to my wedding and on the day itself. A true professional, she was so relaxed on the morning of the wedding, despite having 7 faces to beautify, and that she did! Everyone was so happy with their make up and it lasted the whole day through. Although she had an early start to the morning, Audrey waited until I was leaving for the church to ensure everything was perfect. So thankful that she was a part of my day. If you're lucky enough that she's available for your date, don't hesitate in booking!

Audrey is an excellent make up artist! I loved my make up on the day of my wedding and it stayed in place all day! Audrey done my make up, 2 bridesmaids and mother of the bride on the morning of my wedding and she made the whole experience very calm and really listened to my bridesmaids concerns. I had done a trial with Audrey before my wedding and any concerns with my make up she remembered and made sure I was happy. Audrey is a lovely person and always has her clients best interests at heart.I highly recommend Audrey, you will not be disappointed.

Audrey is absolutely amazing in every way! During the makeup trial for my wedding, she was so patient and really made me feel like she had all the time in the world to get things exactly right (and I know in real life she is a very busy lady!!). The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect - she did make up for all my (many) bridesmaids and everyone LOVED their makeup. One of the girls said she was happier with her makeup for my wedding than she was with her makeup on her own wedding day! I actually don't even know what to say she was just that good - AND she made the morning more fun! She really made me feel relaxed- which was a difficult task, to say the least. It would not have been the same without her and I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks Audrey! I (hopefully) won't be getting married again soon but I will be calling any time I need my make up done!
Response from Essence of Beauty - Audrey O'Connor
Awhh Hailey thank you so much, I remember the 1st day you contacted me and you said "I hope your sitting down I have a bridal party of 12 Canadian Style" with a smiley face ????.I was so happy I was part of your special everything about it was just perfect.Each and everyone of your bridal party were so lovely and you are one amazing lady.

I could not recommend Audrey Enough. She was amazing from start to finish and made me feel so relaxed. Everyone on the day and from pics have asked "who done my makeup". My own Bridesamid is an artist but also does make up artistry in Galway and couldnt get to grips with how professional and Amazing Audrey is. Thank you for Everything xx

Audrey was so professional but also friendly which made us all feel so relaxed on the morning of my wedding.She knew exactly what i wanted but also made sure my bridesmaids and mother got what they wanted but also complimented me too. Regardless of her amazing skills Audrey was a friendly caring person to have at your house the morning of your special day.SHe felt like part of the bridal party.She made sure we all were happy with our make-up and even stayed to wave me off to the church. I hope i have more reasons to get Audrey in the future. Audrey is the one supplier I speak most about to friends.

I cannot recommend Audrey enough. She did myself and my bridal party's make-up for my wedding in January this year. She did an amazing job on all of us and we were all were delighted with our make-up. She had 6 of us to do for makeup on the morning of the wedding and did it with ease with no rush or pressure on any of us. All of our makeup was flawless. She is very talented and a perfectionist! My make-up lasted the whole day and night without needing to be topped up once. She was so helpful in my make trial helping me decide on what colours and tonnes to use and made sure I was 100% happy even at the trial. Thanks Again Aud for doing anamazing job! xx

I booked Audrey for my wedding day makeup. From start to finish she was absolutely brilliant. I was living abroad at the time & Audrey made everything as easy & stress free as possible for me.
Audrey catered for my three bridesmaids, my cousin, my mother, my aunt & I that morning at home. She was just super. From the way she fit right in with the buzz in the house that morning, to her actual craft, she was superb. This lady is gifted, she has an amazing eye for detail and is capable of dealing with clients of all ages in a perfectly professional manner. I strongly recommend.

Audrey did my make up, my 3 bridesmaids make up and my mum and mother in laws make up on Dec 1st, 2018 for my wedding. To say Audrey is a professional and perfectionist at make up is an understatement. She did an incredible job while still making us look natural, and we also had great fun with her that morning! She did such a fantastic job and it was noticed by many. Thanks so much Audrey you truly are amazing!!!

Audrey did make up for my bridal party last November and to say we were thrilled is an understatement. She spent ages on my trial and was very professional and flexible with her hours to suit me.
On the day she gave herself plenty of time not to rush us and waited around until we left for the church to make sure everyone looked perfect heading off.
Her make up was amazing and I did not have to touch it for the day. In fact one of my bridesmaids got a second day out of it.
She is fantastic as her job and I would highly recommend her
