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

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
Response from Essence of Beauty - Audrey O'Connor
Niamh thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for having me be a part of your special day & for your kind words, I had the best morning with you all. You looked absolutely incredible as did all your bridal party & as for your mum wow she looked amazing.
I look forward to seeing your professional photos, I have no doubt Darren Byrne has captured exquisite shots.
Wishing you both all the love & happiness in the world 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

Huge congrats to you & Aaron, wishing you both all the love and happiness in the world xx

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!
Response from Essence of Beauty - Audrey O'Connor
Oonagh, you looked stunning.. thank you so much, I was absolutely delighted to be available for your special day, it was so lovely to be back looking after you ladies. Both myself & Laurie (Headdsup Hairstylist) had the best morning with you all & thank you for making us feel so welcome.

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!

I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day than Audrey. She truly worked magic with her brushes and palettes! From the moment she started working on my makeup, I knew I was in good hands. The attention to detail and precision she showed was impressive.

Not only did she enhance my features beautifully, but the makeup lasted flawlessly throughout the entire day and night of celebrations. I received so many compliments on how radiant and glowing my makeup looked in all the wedding photos. Her talent, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made the experience even more special.

Thank you, Audrey, for helping me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a skilled and passionate makeup artist. You won't be disappointed!"

Audrey was also great fun on the morning which really helped calm the nerves. I couldn't recommend Audrey more highly.

Audrey is so professional and really goes above and beyond.
We were so lucky to have Audrey do our make up she's makes you feel so at ease because she just gets it right every time and knows exactly what's best for you.
We actually booked our wedding date around Audrey's availability because she is such an unreal MUA and I really wanted Audrey because she is incredible and I love her work.
The application was flawless.
Plus, the makeup stayed put all day and night, even through tears of joy and lots of dancing.
I will be forever grateful.

I cannot praise Audrey enough.
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.

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.

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.

Audrey did an incredible job for my wedding in November. Meeting Audrey at the trail made me realise I had chosen the right MUA for the my wedding party. Audrey is so professional and skillful at her job. Her calm demeanor also helped the morning of the wedding to encourage a relaxed environment. My make up stayed perfect all day with no touch ups required. I would definitely recommend Audrey to future brides.

It was a pleasure to have Audrey as makeup artist for myself, bridesmaids and mother on the day of my wedding. She was so easy to talk with on the morning of the wedding, which helped me relax. We were all thrilled with our makeup and got so many compliments over the course of the day. I felt a million dollars heading off to the church and was delighted it lasted so well through all the dancing for the night. I would highly recommend Audrey to any brides considering her for their big day xx

Audrey is amazing at what she does . I was so nervous about my makeup and so unsure of what I actually wanted . Through the whole process Audrey was amazing offering advice , ideas and even after my trial she was so responsive to my messages . 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 .

I can?t recommend Audrey enough. Audrey came highly recommended and after my wedding, I completely understand why. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I was so happy with my make-up for the wedding. The bridesmaids were so happy with their make-up too and couldn?t stop talking about how great Audrey was. Audrey was such a calming presence to have the morning of the wedding, she even thought me a few tricks to help calm any nerves I might get!! I would highly recommend Audrey and I?m so happy I had her for the wedding.

From the first time talking to Audrey, the trial, the wedding day itself and all in between, Audrey was just amazing. 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

Thankfully Audrey was available for my big day and I can honestly say she brought a sense of calmness and made the morning a delight. Audrey was amazing on the lead up to the wedding and made any changes and advised me all the way through. I?m not the best with make up nor do I wear a lot so I wanted to feel natural on my big day and I got so many compliments. I Loved my make up and will be returning to Audrey for future events, she?s exceptionally talented and a true professional.

On top of this, she is bubbly, charismatic and calming which makes the morning preparations so much more streamlined. I would have no hesitation in recommending Audrey to anyone.

It was an absolute pleasure having Audrey as my make up artist for my wedding day. I had seen some of her work online and I was delighted when she was available. I was so thrilled with my makeup after my trial, there wasn't a single thing I would have changed.

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.

It was amazing having Audrey as part of my wedding morning, she was so friendly and calm and really listened to each of our individual preferences. We had a fabulous time with her and my 5 year old niece is still talking about the sparkly lipgloss that Audrey put on her. The trial was so useful and Audrey was full of great advise that would help my skin for the wedding.
I really loved my makeup for the wedding. Thank you so much.

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.

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!

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 is 100% your go to woman for wedding makeup. I ended up getting in contact with her after looking through every website, Facebook group and Instagram brides group going! I have not one single regret.
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!!!

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 have since used Audrey for makeup for my professional headshots for work and was delighted with that also. I'd 100% recommend Audrey for your wedding makeup.

Audrey is an absolute gem!! The morning of my wedding Audrey was so supportive and helped calm my nervous excitement, she always went above and beyond and was helping me get my shoes on and my Mam with her shoes! I generally wear very little makeup, Audrey?s makeup was so natural with a simple elegance, beauty and glow, it stayed put all day through rain, tears, hugs, kisses, everything!! I can?t thank Audrey enough and would highly recommend her!! XX

We were so lucky to have Audrey be part of our fantastic day. From the minute she arrived to the hotel she was just incredible, she calmed my nerves and had us all laughing all morning.
Audrey looked after myself, 4 bridesmaids and my Nannie.
My makeup didn?t budge all day and all I had to top up was my lipstick! It was still flawless at 5am when I fell into bed!
I would highly recommend Audrey for any bride. She creates such beautiful bridal looks, her professionalism is second to none and she has such a bright and bubbly aura that just instantly puts you at ease

She treated everyone so kindly and was calm and professional throughout the whole morning! Nothing was rushed and everyone was still ready to go in plenty of time! The makeup was so natural looking and lasted well into the early hours of the following morning!!! I?d recommend her highly to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their wedding or any occasion!

Audrey was absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She did such a brilliant job on me and my two bridesmaids.

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!

It was natural yet didn't even need a touch up throughout.My makeup was still flawless at 4am after dancing all night. it was a shame I had to take it off at all! Would highly recommend Audrey to anyone for their bridal makeup, absolutely fantastic at what she does.

Audrey is simply gifted at what she does and is the most wonderful person to have around you. She was so calm, professional and just so lovely to be around. I ended up changing my eye makeup style from what was done at the trial and nothing was to much of a ask for her. Audrey created the most bridal look and I could not have asked for anything better. I can't thank her enough for all that she did. All of our makeups lasted perfectly for the entire day and all night. I would 100 % recommend Audrey to anyone. XX

We were all delighted with our looks and they stayed put all day and night (even after venturing out into wild weather for photos)!. 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. Thank you for doing such a great job Audrey

Due to Covid restrictions I didn't get to have a trial but I, my bridesmaids and my mum all loved our make up on the day. My mum wouldn't be overly comfort getting her make up done but she absolutely loved how Audrey did her make up on the day. My make up lasted really well, it was still perfect after we ventured out for a few photos in the wind and rain. I would highly recommend Audrey!

I booked Audrey as my makeup artist for my wedding in October. From the outset Audrey was professional and attentive. During my bridal trial Audrey spent time trying to find out what kind of look I wanted to go for. At each stage she asked me what I thought, if I wanted anything changed. 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. She has so much skill, expertise and is so lovely to go with it.

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 :)

Audrey was amazing from start to finish. I went for a trial and was 90% happy with the look we achieved and asked Audrey to tweek a few things for the big day.
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 my makeup for my wedding in September and was nothing but professional from start to finish. My makeup was completely flawless! I got such lovely compliments throughout the day on how natural and flawless it looked. My bridal party were just as happy including my mum who doesn't wear makeup at all and she was so pleased on the day. We all received such lovely compliments. Not only that it was still perfection at 5am after a long day and alot of dancing. Audrey is a true professional at what she does and I would highly recommend her for your wedding.

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.

My makeup did not budge a bit until the next day :) From the start she made us so relaxed, the time flew as we were chatting away the whole time. She did my mam?s makeup exactly the way she wanted it! And my mam was so happy with her makeup. I could not have trusted anyone better for my wedding makeup and advise any future brides to book her for your big day. She?s the best around! She?s a good friend and the nicest, kindest girl out there! Thanks again Audrey for being part of our big day!x

Audrey done the makeup for my wedding party and she was absolutely amazing. The makeup was flawless. It was a really hot day and we never had to top our makeup up once. 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.

We were all flawless, make up lasted all day even in the hot spanish weather. Audrey does my makeup for every occasion & I wouldn't dream of having anyone else. I highly recommend her. She's gifted. Great personality. She is so relaxed & calm while making you feel like a million dollars on your special day. Book her for your wedding & you will not be dissapointed.

I honestly could not recommend Audrey enough. She was the most supportive of people during the whole wedding process. 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.

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

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.

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.

What can I say about this amazing woman. She is the Best Ever. I had the pleasure of having Audrey as a makeup artist for my wedding. I had 4 Bridesmaids, My Mam, 16yr old Of child and myself. 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

Where do i start. 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

She was so calm and relaxed and it brushed off on us all the morning of the wedding. The make up was exactly what each of us wanted.
