Bridal Testimonials

Hi Yvette,
I just wanted to firstly say thank you SO much for teaching me to do my own makeup for my wedding in New Zealand. Despite a few things not going to “plan” on the day, it was the one thing I felt completely confident about and can truly say that I looked (and felt) like “my most beautiful self”. Exactly what I wanted.
I also want to thank you for the amazing facial! I have only ever had a handful of facials before but they were NOTHING compared to yours – it’s the best 2 hour beauty treatment I’ve ever had. The fact that my husband noticed such an incredible difference in my skin and decided to have one himself is testament to how fabulous it is! Not only was it totally relaxing but I noticed a big improvement in my skin in general. I am absolutely coming back for more!
Thanks again and see you soon.

WOW!! Thank you so much for all your help in the lead up to my wedding day. Thank you so much for all your help and advice to make me feel and look so beautiful. The picture speaks for itself really. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day.
Words can’t describe the way both you and Clare made me feel on my special day. From the bottom of my heart thank you again ...

Dear Yvette
How are you? I am back in Sydney (and unfortunately, back at work) and just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much to yourself, Emma and Ameina for making my wedding so utterly fabulous. Your facial and exfoliation was AMAZING - my skin has never been better - and Emma and Ameina were so wonderful on the day. We were all so, so pleased with their work.
Thanks again for everything

Dear Yvette, Michelle & Ameina
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you all for helping to make our day so special. We were all happy with our hair and make up, couldn't have asked for anything more.
Kind regards

Thanks again.

Hi Yvette and Claire,
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent job you both did on Saturday for Melissa's wedding.
We all had a very relaxing time and the girls looked absolutely beautiful.
You were both so easy to work with that it made the day lots of fun for all.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know who needs your services.
Regards and thanks again

i just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for yesterday. You were both amazing. I love love loved it!.I know we were total chaos and I'm sorry for that. In the end the entire day was perfection.
I was so happy with my make up and hair and I got so many compliments on it. Jess looked amazing (but she always does). But for me, it was even more important that my mum felt special, and wow did you guys make her feel like a million dollars. Mum is really difficult because she doesn't normally wear make up and is so fussy with her hair, but she looked amazing. And she felt amazing. She was so so so happy with the way she looked and her skin glowed. She got so many compliments on the way she looked and my dad was blown away too, which (after knowing each other for 45 years) was lovely. Mum totally rocked the dancefloor, which in part was due to feeling fab about the way she looked - the other part was the champers ; 0.
You were both unreal. Thanks again! I will definitely be recommending you both whenever I get the chance!

You realise that you are the most beautiful women on earth after having your make up and hair done by Yvette and Claire when the following three things occur:
1) Your family and friends wolf whistle at you whilst walking down the aisle
2) Your husband to be is lost for words and watches you walk towards him with his mouth ajar
3) That every single person after the event keeps on telling you just how amazingly stunning you looked
It doesn't get much better than that...

We have just returned from our honeymoon and I wanted to immediately email to thank you and Clare for the wonderful work you did. I was thrilled with both my hair and makeup, and as you saw at the end, both perfectly complimented my dress. I felt quite the movie star throughout the day, and many guests commented on my 'divaesque' quality! You guys perfectly nailed my desire to look a bit 50s, but not too 'period'. Your relaxed chatter throughout the day was also great at keeping things fairly relaxed and easy going.
Both my Mum and Sam's mum Jenny were both also thrilled with how they looked on the day, so a big big thank you to you all for your hard work and unbelievable expertise.
All the very best,
Anna

Just wanted to email and let you know we were all so happy with our make up and Michelle was lovely to have around on my special day.
Madeline McEnvoy

Wow! Its been over a month since our wedding. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful work you and Claire did, such an amazing job!! I truly loved my hair and make-up, everything was just perfect! So many guests commented on how lovely it all looked. Thank you both!!
I hope all is going well with you.
Very best wishes,
Holly

I would like to take this chance to thank you very much for your work for my wedding. I do believe that I was lucky to have the best in the business looking after me. Your work is amazing and you are definitely a master of your craft.
I also wanted the thank Claire for my hair. The words master of her craft come to mind again. My hair was amazing, I could not have asked for anything better and almost every person at the wedding commented on my hair, so thank you very much Claire you are amazing.
Thank you also to Amenia and Michelle for my bridesmaid's make up and hair. She looked amazing.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. You are not only brilliant at what you do, but also really great people to deal with and I have sang your praises to all I have spoken to and will definitely recommend you to others. You helped make my day the beautiful, perfect day it turned out to be.
Thanks again,
Susan Skinner

Please thank Emma and Claire for us, we were all really happy with our hair and makeup, which lasted all through the night despite the strong winds.Starting our preparations with Claire and Emma set the tone for a fun and relaxing day. We're all really glad they were available to help us out on Saturday.
Many thanks to you also,
Yu-Lan

Thank you so much to you and your amazing team for making us all look gorgeous! We had alot of fun getting ready and were so relaxed knowing we were in such capable hands. I loved my makeup, I've seen a few pics and I look like "ME".......just enhanced!
You and your team are so professional and friendly I would recommend you to anyone!
Thank you for making our wedding day perfect.
Rachael

Thank you so much (for our makeup), we all felt so good, the makeup was AMAZING! We had so many compliments and had such a good time getting ready as well.
Thanks again!
Aislinn

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in the lead-up to my wedding, and to say how wonderful Emma & Clare were. They did a fantastic job and everyone loved them - they even stayed and helped my dad with his buttonhole!
Best regards
Natalie

I know it is late as we just returned from our honeymoon last night but I just wanted to thank you and Emma for doing such an amazing job on my wedding day. We were all so happy with our makeup and the girls looked just stunning. I have added a few photos for you if you want to use them on your website or portfolio. I will be recommending you to everyone I know getting married in the highlands. Thanks again.
Beck

I wanted to thank you again for doing the makeup for my wedding day. You brought out the natural beauty in my bridesmaid, and made us both look and feel more beautiful than we had ever imagined. Thank you for doing my mums makeup, she felt so very pampered and beautiful. From the moment I met you I felt comfortable and knew that I had picked the right person to do our makeup. You made the whole experience fun and relaxed. You truly are amazing and I feel very lucky to have to met you and look forward to catching up again soon for a facial.

Thank you and best wishes always
Kirstie

Just a quick note to say thanks to you and your team for your tremendous work over the weekend! I truly felt like a princess and Brian was speehless when he saw me! You can tell Claire he loved the curls around my face. My cousin's husband also told me I looked like a Greek goddess - have to be happy with that and all down to your beautiful make up and hair.

If you have any future brides that would like to talk to a previous bride, I'd be more than happy to give Ethix a glowing testimonial. I'll also send you some pics when we get them.

All the best
Jenny Klem

We're just getting back to reality after an amazing wedding and honeymoon. I would like to say a big thank you to you and Margot for doing our make-up on the day. You were lovely to deal with and fantastic at calming everyone down so we had a really smooth and fun day getting ready. I had lots of lovely comments about how natural my make-up looked. All the bridesmaids looked stunning and felt special.

Thank you again and all the best!
Kirsty

Yvette was so friendly and professional. She was able to turn me, a girl who rarely wears makeup or takes care of her skin, into a princess on my big day. She listened to what I wanted throughout the whole process and helped me in not only preparing my skin so it looked its best on the day, but creating a look that was unique and in keeping with the wedding theme. She captured the look I was aiming for. She made the whole bridal party feel comfortable and was calming and efficient on the day.

I highly recommend her for any wedding or special event, as her natural look, distinctive style and choice of products puts her a cut above the rest.
Danielle Louis

Thank you so much for the beautiful job that you did on our makeup for the wedding. Thank you also for working so well with Sensoria and having us all ready on time, this helped to make the day stress free.

After a perfect start to the day we had lots of fun at the wedding, I was having so much fun at the reception dancing that I didn’t have time to touch up my makeup and it still looked good by the end of the night J I also loved how you did my mum’s makeup as she is not used to wearing makeup, the natural soft makeup really suited her and it was good because unlike other times when she had her makeup done she didn’t wipe half of it off and she was comfortable with it.

Thanks again!!
Michelle

The girls (bridesmaids) thought you were wonderful and did an amazing job on all of them. From the mums right down to the flowergirls - they were all so pleased with the way they looked.

More importantly Matt loved your work! ;-) He was so happy because he had been worrying the whole time that I wouldn't look like myself and he kept telling me how glad he was when he saw what I looked like. And that I was the most beautiful he had ever seen me. So thank you. You are MAGIC.
Fara Tanos

Thank you so much for the beautiful work you did at our wedding. My mum, girls and myself were so happy with the beautiful MU you did and Stuart (my husband) was blown away with how gorgeous we all looked ... he couldnt stop telling me how beautiful I was.

Thanks again for all your hard work (and also your assistant who was excellent too!). You were a wonderful person to have around the day of our wedding, keeping everyone feeling calm but most of all making us all look our very best. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend your services to anyone, you are incredibly talented at what you do!
Megan Rose O'Brien

I just want to thank you so much for your AMAZING efforts and talents that went towards our wonderful wedding day. You made me feel like a real fairytale princess! Everyone commented on how beautiful and natural the make up looked, not just on me, but also on my mum, mother in law and sister in law. I still looked and felt as beautiful at 12:00am as I did when I walked down the isle. You are such a talented lady and I will be telling everyone I come accross that if they are ever looking for a make up artist that you are the one for the job!
Rachel Larmer

I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for the wonderful job you did on my makeup on 27th September. I know it wasn't easy with me tearing up at the slightest move towards my eyes, but you did such a great job :) Everyone complemented me on the day for my beautiful natural make up (don't think they were just saying that either), and everyone who has seen photos since is so impressed. You made me look far better than I was hoping to look. I still look like me, which is fantastic. Normally I don't like looking at photos of myself, but I am happy with every photo (part of that is due to me feeling like I look great).
So, thank you once again for a perfect job,
Anthea MacKenzie-Bauer

Yvette was wonderful. I was thrilled with my make-up, my bridesmaids’ and the mums (we had three!). I didn’t have to worry about a thing as Yvette organised everyone and made us feel so calm and at ease; it was more like having a special friend share the morning. I have never felt so glamorous and am pleased Yvette was apart of my special day!
Amy Pappin

As an 'older bride' I wasn't going to worry about getting my make-up done on my wedding day, I thought I knew my face well enough to know what suited me best. I saw Yvette doing a bride's make-up when I was having my hair done at Sensoria and I liked the way she worked and her style, so decided to have a trial run. I am so glad I did, she really did make a difference, which made me feel fantastic, was commented on and certainly showed in the photos we had taken on the day. I think she should do a 'before and after' spread on her website!
Robyn Evans

Thank you so very much for making my wedding day wonderful – the makeup you did was fantastic! We really enjoyed spending the day getting ready with you – you just made the preparations so easy and fun! John loved the look! Thank you again for making us all look gorgeous and for making me feel like a princess!
Carolyn

A very big thank you for all your hard work to make myself and my girls look very beautiful. You truly did a wonderful job! You also made the morning loads of fun!
Sharon

This is Kirste Wilmot (formerly Kirste Perry), just writing to say thankyou so much for making me look so beautiful on my wedding day. So many people commented on how professional it looked, even my husband who is hard to please. The girls all looked so wonderful also. You were a pleasure to meet and I will definitely recommend you to others.
Thanks for everything,
Kirste

I am just back from honeymoon and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the fabulous job that you did on my makeup for my wedding day. I was extremely happy with the natural look that you created for me and I received many compliments from our guests. In fact, I am still receiving compliments from friends and relatives who were not able to attend the wedding who have just seen the photos!

The skin care advice you gave me really helped to ensure my skin was in excellent condition on the day. It was a pleasure meeting you and working with you on the day as your down to earth personality really helped to calm my nerves. I would certainly recommend your services to any future bride.
Kind Regards
Kylie

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you to you and Bella for making my wedding day special. Your calm manner helped us all keep our cool I am sure.

The funny thing is that my partner said exactly the same thing as another one of your bride's partners said in your testimonials on your web site. He was so happy that I didn't have the make up caked on and he said that I still looked natural (this seemed to be a big worry to him as he said it with a sense of relief).

I can't tell you how many people told me on the wedding day that I looked stunning - now usually I would lap these kind of comments up but by the 100th telling I was like gee Yvette must of really worked some magic.
Emma Jones

Just got back from our honeymoon in Vanuatu & wanted to say a HUGE thank you for doing my wedding make-up. It was perfect, just right for the day, I felt like a million dollars !!

I also wanted to say thank you so much for doing my mum-in-laws make-up, the cover up job you did on her bruising was fantastic, she looked beautiful & was so happy & you made her feel so comfortable.

Thank you for helping to make the day perfect, I really appreciate all that you did !!
Warm Regards,
Steph Wood
