Siobhan McDonnell Makeup

Galway & Surrounding Counties
 
Hello! My name is Siobhán, I am a freelance mobile artist based in Galway but travel where needed around the West of Ireland and beyond.  I am highly experienced, having been doing makeup professionally for more than ten years now with over five of those years spent working and training with MAC Cosmetics. I began working with MAC at their Pro Store in central London and stayed with the brand when I moved back home to Galway working in Brown Thomas until the beginning of , after which I went out on my own as a freelance artist.As well as the extensive & ongoing in-house training I received while with MAC, I am also ITEC certified and recognised internationally as a qualified makeup artist. Since going out on my own, I have continued to work with prestige makeup brands like Smashbox and Shiseido, hosting makeup events throughout the country. Feel free to have a look at my website for more information about my makeup journey and experience I am lucky to be utterly in love with my job (& makeup!) and still thoroughly enjoy all forms of makeup artistry, though for the past couple of years I have been specialising in bridal makeup. My roots lie in art , I was classically trained in painting and this has definitely served me in my makeup artistry. I am as confident in creating the most subtle and classic of looks as I am creating more defined and strong beauty looks. And thanks to my art background I have a solid understanding of colour theory which is a great benefit to creating the perfect bridal makeup customised to the individual bride...you! If you would like to enquire about the availability of a date or book a trial, please contact me by phone, email or Facebook.

What can I say....Siobhan was an absolute pleasure to deal with in the run up to and on the day of my wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough from start to finish. She is extremely professional, her skills flawless and attention to detail brilliant. I would highly recommend her to any bride. You will not be disappointed. Thanks so much Siobhan. It was a pleasure. I will be back :-).

Siobhan did makeup for myself, my 3 bridesmaid's and my mam on the morning of our wedding and she did such an unbelievable job. Everyone was thrilled with the results and the makeup stayed flawless the entire day and night. From the moment I met her for a trial Siobhan was not just extremely professional and easy to talk to but she understood exactly the kind of bridal look that I wanted and she created a look that was me in every sense and I was over the moon. I couldn't recommend her enough and I know mam and the girls feel the same their still talking about her.

I cannot recommend Siobhan enough to any brides in Ireland. From the offset she completely puts you at ease, the initial trial was so relaxed and got the exact outcome I had wished for. The day of the wedding she was there ahead of time & set-up ready to go when we arrived back from the hairdressers. She was a calming presence in the middle of all the mayhem going on that day & ended up doin 50 other little jobs whilst making us all look beautiful! Her attention to detail is second to non and her ability to change any small details u want at the last minute without any fuss is so reassuring as a bride. My entire bridal party were so happy with how effortlessly beautiful Siobhan made us look that day without looking like we had tonnes of makeup on & bar touching up my lippy I didnt have to think about my face all day! I danceed the night away til 4am & still looked fresh as a daisy and flawless! Definitely worth a call if you are looking, I couldn't have been happier with mine. Xx

I've have had Siobhan do my make up for many events so I new from the minute I got engaged who to book asap. I had a bridal trial in Siobhans house where she has a special fab make up heaven room set up and was thrilled how it looked she gave great advice on skin care leading up to the day and told me to take plenty of photos of my trial make up throughout the day to see how it was holding up and it was great to have that reassurance that nothing would be going astray on the day. The day itself she arrived and set herself up we didnt even no she was there everything was laid out to perfection and I remember thinking everything was so so clean! She is so lovely and got on great with the whole wedding party and made everyone feel at ease nothing was to much to ask. I was so happy with my make up on the day as was the family and friends who jumped at the chance to have her do their make up. Thanks again Siobhan. I highly recommend anyone looking for a make up artist be it for weddings or events to call her for availability.

Siobhan is the best make up artist for all occasions!! If you are getting married I urge you to book her and cannot recommend her enough! My previous experiences of make up artists were pretty poor before I heard about Siobhan and after a trial with her for my wedding in 2012 and was blown away. She knew exactly what I wanted and is so talented and skilled with the make up brush that I was thrilled with the outcome. She has a great eye for detail and always discovering and practicing with new innovative products - she has her finger on the pulse as regards the best products to use for those special occasions for lasting effects and a beautiful photo finish! Siobhan has the perfect personality for this job and puts you at ease with her chilled out cool persona. Although 100% professional you can have a laugh with her girl next door charm, which is a godsend the morning of a wedding when there can be panic! The main thing is the result and Siobhan certainly delivers. Whatever the look you are going for, she will make you look a million dollars and you will be so happy you booked her. I have recommended her to so many people since and was thrilled when my friend booked her for her wedding as I was bridesmaid and knew all our make up would be guaranteed to be fabulous! If there is a special occasion coming up where I need my make up looking extra special I call Siobhan straight away. Go ahead and book this amazingly talented girl..you wont regret it! Enjoy :)x
