michelle g makeup artist

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. If I could give 0 stars I would. My sister booked with this company for her wedding hair and makeup with MICHELLE and RACHEL. We attended her trial in RACHELS HOME on the 18th of July, my sister had given a thorough explanation of what her ideal makeup would be like and the details on her skin texture. She had showed MICHELLE a photo of what she wanted and the end result was nothing like it. My sister had specified she had dry skin which requires moisturiser and appropriate skin prep. MICHELLE didn’t use any primer, any moisturiser, any setting spray. Which MICHELLE later stated that primer and setting spray is ONLY used on the day of the wedding. This is absolutely bizarre to me as why does a ‘qualified makeup artist’ not use the most important steps for any makeup look only on the wedding day and not on the trial? This is just a waste of time to the bride who will not see the complete look for the day. My sister said no powder yet she set her face with powder. No concealer was used, instead she put THREE layers of foundation under her eyes, which was already the wrong colour for her skin. But no other foundation was in sight within her makeup case so I do not understand how she caters to other skin tones. Foundation wasn’t blended down the neck, or blended at all for that matter. My sister’s face was left streaky with orange lines around the jaw and cheeks. The lighting within RACHELS home was poor and did not reflect the same in broad daylight. Her skin appeared muddy and cakey as MICHELLE did not listen to my sisters brief on how her skin is dry and how she did not want a matte finish obviously. The makeup looked like a 10 year old completed it. No skill was used what so ever and I’d like to question how MICHELLE is even allowed to do makeup as a profession. My sister asked for bronzer and blush yet only blush was used. MICHELLE completely ignored the brief, my sister also asked for a small winged eyeliner which MICHELLE refused to do as it doesn’t ’photograph well’ but I think that’s just out of her skill set. We live nearly 2 hours away from RACHELS house and the makeup didn’t even last a car journey home let alone a full day for your wedding. On to hair, my sister didn’t ask for any extravagant hair only that it was a POLISHED wave. RACHEL used a really thin barrel curling wand, curled really small sections and didn’t even brush through the curls to create the waves that was asked for. Now I could have done that with my eyes closed. To me you do NOT pay £100 for makeup and £100 for hair FOR EACH PERSON to look like my sister did on this trial day. The absolute cheek to charge these prices for such poor quality work is beyond me. The level of professionalism from these women was disgusting. We was only in their house for 10 minutes before they spoke about a previous bride who had family drama and told us every detail of what happened while they was there. Seems to me they must get something out of gossiping and putting others down on their WEDDING DAY of all days. Also MICHELLE made it very clear to my sister that she could not have a trial with anyone else. It is now the 22nd of July and my sister has YET to be given ANY money back at all of £1010 she had paid. MICHELLE states that there is a fee for the trial day where it doesn’t state that anywhere on her forms just that the trial is free when booking a wedding. MICHELLE is making up hidden fees anyway she chooses to. THEY ARE A TOTAL SCAM. I haven’t had any contact with them at all yet they have blocked me on instagram which shows me they have been digging through my sisters followers to find my name? Absolute scam artists. Please who ever sees this review think twice if you’re going to book these. They also state in their cancellation policy that they do not pay back in event of a client death. If that doesn’t show what kind of people they are I don’t know what does.
