Christiane did our bridesmaid make up. She was amazing & very professional. She kept all of us calm and collected throughout. Christiane is very talented and we all looked and felt amazing. She has a huge range of products and discusses what you would like beforehand. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a makeup artist. Thank you so much, Christiane. Xx

Christiane did my daughter's make up for her prom and we were over the moon with the results. She listened to exactly what my daughter wanted, she made her look absolutely stunning and her attention to detail was incredible. As well as being friendly and welcoming, Christiane is an extremely talented make up artist, she is highly knowledgeable and very professional. I can't recommend Christiane highly enough and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Many thanks Christiane!

Cannot recommend Christiane highly enough! My experience from start to finish was brilliant, Christiane is extremely professional and listened to exactly what i wanted.

Christiane has done my makeup on numerous occasions and without a doubt is the best makeup artist you will ever find! Not only is she so talented at what she does but she listens to what you want. She is very professional but also makes you feel at ease and is extremely easy to talk to! The quality of the makeup is outstanding. She made me look and feel gorgeous. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a makeup artist. From a night out to a wedding she is your girl!

Absolutely loved my makeup and received so many compliments! Christiane was very professional and advised me on what would suit me best, will definitely go back to her in the future!
Debbie Creasy
Christiane is a lovely, friendly and professional person who puts you at ease and listens to what you want, whilst making helpful suggestions and offering great advice. I wanted help with my make up as my skin has become drier and shows the usual signs of age, with a few wrinkles and brown age spots. Christiane showed me how to apply a range of products to handle this and I left feeling a million dollars. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for your help.
Rosie Barriff
I had my makeup done on the 12th and 14th of July and was over the moon with the look Christiane had created! She's extremely talented and very friendly! By far the best in the makeup industry and i'll definitely be booking with her again! Thankyou so much Christiane!

Christiane did my wedding make up along with my Bridesmaids and Mum. She is truly talented and we were over the moon with her work. She is a true professional and such a lovely lady, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her for any future occasions. If you are fortunate enough to book her, you won’t be disappointed! She is AMAZING
Teresa Talbot
I had the absolute pleasure of having Christiane doing my wedding make up for me.
From the start when I contacted her she was nothing but professional and made me feel at ease and I knew I was in safe hands.
The whole experience was fantastic down to the appointment reminders.
I went to her studio and was made to feel so welcome , Christiane listened to what I would like and would talk me through what she was doing and checking that I was happy with the look on various stages.
On my wedding day christane helped make me feel so special . I absolutely loved my make up and had so many compliments.
I feel like I not only now have a great makeup artist but I have also made a friend x

I visited Christiane in Dec 2017 for some special occasion makeup - for a work Christmas do! Christiane put me at ease straight away and ran everything by me as she went making sure I was happy! I couldn't recommend Christiane enough and I can't wait to find my next excuse to go and visit her and get all glammed up again!
Susan Gay
I went to Christiane to have my makeup done for a Christmas party. It is the first time I have ever had this done professionally and I chose Christiane from the reviews and pictures on her site and I was not disappointed. She is very friendly and her salon was set up very nicely, if felt very relaxed. I loved the end result, me but a glam version which is exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Christiane to anyone wanting to look good for their special occasion!
Sophie Lynch

recommend thank you xx
Nicole Perry
Can't thank you enough for making me up at the weekend. My makeup was flawless and lasted
all day and night. Your service was also excellent, from initial discussions to turning up bang on
time. Thanks again
Sophie Delamasantiere
I cannot stress enough how wonderful Christiane is. She did me and my bridesmaids’ makeup
and we were all amazed at her talent. My bridesmaids all did not have very precise ideas of what
they wanted, but for each of them she took on board their vague suggestions and came up with
perfect outcomes. I had a makeup trial so I already knew what I was having, and on the day it
was amazing. We all loved our makeup! And Christiane is really lovely!
Louise Rebecca
Cannot put into words how excellent Christiane is! Always does a great job and you leave feeling amazing.
Sarah Tidball
Christiane did my makeup and 5 bridesmaids for my wedding on Saturday 9th June! All I can say
is that she is fantastic and did an amazing job! We had so many compliments throughout the day
and night, our makeup lasted all day and I would highly recommend. Christiane was so patient,
she did exactly as we asked and I honestly couldn’t fault her one bit! Thank you so much for
making my day extra special xxxx
Madeline Kira Way
I have never had my make up done professionally and I can definitely say I will be using
Christiane again!!! She was so lovely, so easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable, I
absolutely loved my make up, I was so sad when I had to take it off at the end of the night but it
lasted all night and looked perfect for my birthday ! Can’t thank her enough! Xxxx
Sarah Cunningham
I was lucky enough to have Christiane do my wedding make up a few weeks ago and we were
not disappointed. Not only is she beautiful inside and out she is so talented. Everyone was
catered for getting exactly what they wanted and we received so many compliments. I would
recommend Christiane to anyone! x
Paula Noverraz
Christiane makes you feel so welcome from the moment you step through the door. She has a
beautiful room laid out in a professional way and fully stocked with products to suit everyone.
She is outstanding with her make up creations and I would never go to anyone else. Christiane
has a huge collection of nail colours to match every outfit. She pays so much attention to detail. I
can’t recommend her highly enough.
Gaynor Styer
Christiane is an incredible make-up artist. My ‘40th face’ looked amazing & I had so many
compliments about my eyes especially. She fit me in with very short notice, communicated with a
high level of professionalism & was just so calming & gentle as she did me up! She knew which
colours would suit my skin tone & dress & then gave advice; teaching me tricks I’d never have
even thought about. I highly recommend the services of Christiane xx
Alex Crabbe
This girl is amazing. Always gets my make up spot on. I give her a challenge every time and she
always succeeds and does better than the pics I show as a guide. She’s done to earth and very
professional. Her studio is gorgeous. Can’t recommend her enough.
Michelle Hawkins
The lovely Christiane done my bridal party makeup. We all couldn’t have felt or looked any more amazing than we did. I would highly recommend Christiane and would definitely go to her in the future if I ever need my makeup done again, such a beautiful, professional and talented lady, thank you so much Christiane xxxx
Definitely a 5 Star makeup artist.
Michele Jenkins
This is my second time with Christiane. On this occasion I had a make up lesson . And I wasn’t disappointed. She puts you at ease immediately and I left feeling and looking like a million dollars. I can’t recommend this ladies services enough. Regardless of age she caters for all and for all occasions
Kimberley Garcia
5 * all the way for the lovely Christiane. I was a little apprehensive about having my make up done for the 1st time with some one I didn’t know but after meeting Christiane I was made to feel welcome right away and any apprehension soon disappeared. I had several compliments about my make up for my Hen Night and will definitely be using Christiane again …Thank you Christiane, you are a very talented young lady and will go far xxx
India-May Baker

professional but lovely with it too! Would highly recommend!!
Ramona Calcea
Christiane did my make up for an important London event and all I can say is wow! I couldn't have
chosen a better person for the job. She is very professional and very skilled,the studio is pristine and
welcoming so the experience overall was just amazing. I felt very pampered and definitely will be back
there again soon!

very professional and hospitable and shows you every step of the makeup process. Would

Kate Zammit
Christiane did my wedding makeup and what an amazing job she did! On a personal level she is just such a lovely lady, she takes into consideration exactly what was being asked and my make up couldn’t of been more perfect along with all my bridesmaids makeup! She is a little miracle worker! Thanks for sharing my special day with me, I couldn’t of been more made up (excuse the pun!) with my lovely makeup! I can’t recommend Christiane more. She is going to go a long way in her career, a very talented lady indeed.
Gemma Judd
Christiane is a wonderful MUA and I would highly recommend her. I hired her for my bridal makeup and not only was she a very calming influence in a VERY hectic environment, her skills were A CLASS. My makeup lasted all day, night and until I took it off the next morning!!!!!
Nicole Crymble
After researching and contacting hundreds of make up artists for my bridal make up I came across Christiane who stood out from all of them with how professional I thought she looked. I was definitely not let down. From start to finish Christiane has made me feel special and will advise on questions I have within moments. She is completely professional with personal touches. Christiane took time to listen to mine my mum's and my sister's visions on our own make up and made it become reality. She really did take time and care for all of us and went above and beyond with her service.
I really can't recommend Christiane enough as you can clearly see she puts 100% effort in everything she does and has a clear passion for make up, not just treating you as the next client. Thank you for helping make my day that extra special and I really hope that an occasion comes up so I can book an appointment with you again.

Julie Crawford
Christiane is a godsend! I had my make up done for a special event and was thrilled with the results. I felt a million dollars as it gave me so much confidence and I had so many compliments. The look lasted all evening and I did not even need a lipstick top up which Christiane also supplied. I can’t recommend her enough and will always use her for my make up artistry. A massive Thank you xxxx
Lily Rose
Christiane did my makeup for my 18th birthday party and she was amazing. She makes you feel super comfortable and at ease and really listens to what you want. I would 100% recommend her services for any event and will definitely go back to her in the future if I ever need my makeup done again. 10/10 would recommend!

Christiane did my make up for my wedding and it was exactly what I wanted for my big day. I felt amazing, the look really worked with my dress and hair style and it lasted all day. I felt amazing and she is one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met!
Karen Carpenter

Mary Kinsella
Christiane was very professional and my makeup was perfect! Exactly what I wanted and lasted all night, received so many compliments on my eye makeup. Would highly recommend.
Katie Lloyd-Young
Christiane was amazing. I had to pull my wedding forward due to health issues in the family and she did a full trial and makeup on the day within 1 week! She was kind and considerate and the makeup was absolutely perfect. I would recommend her to everyone and have passed her details onto all of my friends who are planning their weddings! Cannot thank you enough Christiane, everything was perfect!
Megan Fietze
Had a make up lesson with Christiane. Learnt so much (especially about where I’m going wrong) and most importantly actually found all the products that suit me. When you go to a store, a sales person will try sell you only their brand for sales targets, whereas with Christiane, she advises you from multiple brands based on YOU!!!!! Not only that, but my makeup looked amazing after and I got so many compliments. Definitely want to go back for another session, maybe next time with some friends .... really enjoyed it

I absolutely loved my make up done by Christiane last night! Had so many compliments. She used colours I wouldn’t normally go for and they looked so nice. Would highly recommend. Thank you! X
Maria Guzman
Christiane Dowling is a very talented make up artist and a natural born teacher. She taught me how to do my own bridal make up, gave me amazing tips and wrote it all down for me which was very useful.
Jade Waring
Christiane did the makeup for myself and my bridal party on the 24/05/19 and I cannot recommend her enough. She listened to what everyone wanted and made sure everyone was happy and felt comfortable. Me and two of my bridesmaids had a trial beforehand which was also great and allowed me to be 100% sure of what I wanted on the day. She is super friendly which made the whole morning a lot more relaxed. All of the bridal party had comments on how beautiful their make up was and it lasted all day and night (even with a lot of dancing). I cannot thank her enough! :)
Vanessa Brown
Christiane did my bridesmaid make up a couple of weeks ago and I was more than thrilled with the results! She asked exactly what I wanted and ensured I got the covers she and colours that worked best for me. I had so many compliments on my make up on the day and my make up lasted until early hours of the next morning! I will definitely be using Christiane again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a make up artist. Thank you so much!
Rebecca Birkett
Christiane did my wedding makeup and also the makeup for my 5 bridesmaids a few weeks ago. Having been let down by another makeup artist, I contacted Christiane and I’m so glad that she was able to help out! From her first email right through to the big day, Christiane kept me informed so I wasn’t at all worried out about how things would go on the day. She listened to what I wanted and also offered great advice. Her makeup artistry skills speak for themselves!! We were all so thrilled on the day and had lots of lovely compliments. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!
Stacey Whitlam
Christiane did my makeup for a night out. I went with an idea of what I wanted and she made it come to life and it looked better than I could imagine. Confidence was at a whole other level. Thank you so much.
Marion Reiter
Christiane did my makeup for a wedding and she did a fantastic job! She really listed and understood well what look I wanted to go for and yet was able to make recommendations when I wasn't too sure about something. Christiane is professional and uses high-end products; she's very knowledgeable and lovely to talk to, I felt really comfortable in her studio. And got great comments for my makeup at the wedding. Thanks again!
Emma Hewinson
I was recommended Christiane to do my makeup for a close friends wedding. I went with a few ideas of what I wanted but was unsure on colours and all the options involved, Christiane was SO helpful with helping me and the makeup turned out amazing! I got compliments throughout the day and felt glam but natural which is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you for being so lovely and doing my makeup for me
Jessy Blackler
This weekend was the second time I have used Christiane for make up. Once for a wedding a few months ago, and this bank holiday weekend for a festival. Her make up is flawless, and lasts really well. My husband said it was the best make up I have had done and I have been to several other local make up artists. Three of my friends also went to Christiane for make up the same morning and were very impressed. Thank you Christiane.
Stef
Christiane did mine, my mums and two of my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding on the 29th August, she did an absolutely amazing job. Christiane was very professional right from the first communication. At my trial she made me feel so comfortable and nothing was too much trouble, I didn’t really have any idea what style I wanted, and Christiane just went with it and I loved it so much. Christiane arrived super early on the wedding morning and took her time with each one of us, making sure everyone had exactly the look they wanted. I felt absolutely amazing all day long on my wedding day and I know my mum and bridesmaids did too. My makeup lasted all day and beyond and I didn’t need to touch up once. I fell asleep in my makeup, which I never usually do, but I woke up the next morning and my makeup was still perfect.
Christiane was absolutely amazing from start to finish, right from the moment I got in touch with her. She was always happy to answer my (sometimes silly) questions and made me feel at ease.
I would highly recommend Christiane, and I will certainly be returning for future special occasions.
Sophie Young
Wheres the 100000 stars button?! Christiane did makeup for me, my mum, grandma & Maid of Honour for my wedding on Friday 30th August & she did a beyond incredible job! We all had loads of compliments throughout the day & was still looking just as amazing at the end of the day as it was in the beginning. So much so we didn’t want to take it off!
Alicia Hughes
I am so thankful I chose Christiane to do my makeup! Firstly, her customer service is the best I have ever received. The event I was going to had changed their time and Christiane was able to accommodate me and fit me in earlier which I was so grateful for as I was feeling very self conscious about the event and really wanted my makeup done.

Secondly, the work she did was incredible! She worked with me to get the look I was after and used products on my face which really worked for my skin and left it feeling glowy and healthy! I have never felt as amazing as I did that night and to go from feeling self conscious to confident I think speaks volumes of how talented Christiane is! I cannot wait until I book my next appointment with her as I’m excited to see what we will achieve next time! 10/10 best makeup artist ever!
Nanda Atherton
I had Christiane do my wedding make-up. She was absolutely AMAZING. The results was brilliant and everything I wanted and more. She also did my bridesmaid make up and my mum. My mum is very fussy with her make up and won’t normally let anyone do her make up, however she loved her results and will not be using anyone else from now on. Christiane thank you so much for being a part of my special day and helping us all look stunning.
Jan Fairchild
Wow - what a find! Christiane was responsible for my bridal party's make-up in November this year. She worked her magic on various bridesmaids aged between, 17-41. Christiane is incredibly talented and bang on trend. She is very easy to talk to and work with, all of us felt completely at ease during the whole experience. We all had different ideas of what look we wanted to achieve and Christiane managed to ensure we were all left feeling a million dollars! I wish I could give this review more than 5 stars! If you are lucky enough to secure her for your big day or any other occasion, you will not be disappointed!
Francesca Vickery
Christiane is so talented, I have booked with her once before for a black tie event and have just booked my second appointment. You leave feeling a million bucks! The products used were all gorgeous, if there is anything she doesn't have it is not worth having. 100% would recommend.
