Gillian Rachel Elizabeth MUA Full Description
With over 12 years’ experience in the industry, Gillian's journey in makeup began in 2009 at the London School of Beauty & Makeup. After working in London for 5 years, Gillian decided to move to the beautiful Dorset countryside to focus on luxury Bridal Makeup. Bridal Make Up: First and foremost, if you are looking at my page you are most likely engaged, huge congratulations to you! ​ I am beyond excited for you! I am someone who has a complete love affair for all things Bridal and know that this will be one of the biggest days of your life. ​ Going bare faced and trusting someone with your makeup can be a completely nerve-wracking experience, so I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible. ​ Over my years of experience, I have worked with hundreds of brides of all ages – with all different skin types, features and understand just how essential it is that the Bride not only looks flawless in real life, but that her beauty transfers over to photographs and film to cherish forever. I only use the best products on the market and my kit is a reflection of my personal makeup bag. Using a wide range of the best in luxury Makeup and skincare products such as Chanel, Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Ford, Giorgio Armani and many more. ​ I highly recommend a trial beforehand as this allows us the time to get to know one another, and for me, the chance to work out what style brings out your beauty to allow you to shine like the star of the show on your special day. These trials are essential in my opinion to ensure you are at your most relaxed on the Big day itself safely in the knowledge I will leave you looking a million dollars. Personally, for me, there is no better feeling than giving women the confidence to walk down the Aisle and glow on their special day. Witnessing your guests and significant others faces light up when they see you gives me butterflies every time...I really do have the best job in the world!

Nothing was too much trouble
Gillian was so warm and welcoming from the moment we started talking on bridebook, to the make up trial to the day itself. I am beyond grateful for all the small changes she made to make the finished look comfortable (for someone who rarely wears makeup that was a big ask). The support from Gillian in ensuring my elderly mother was also treated well and was left looking beautiful was so important. I honestly couldn't find a flaw with Gillian or her work and feel lucky to have booked her!

Couldn't have done it without her
Where to begin, G was such a claiming knowledgeable force to have by my side and throughout the whole process kept me grounded snd secure in my choice of makeup and style. At the trial she allowed for additional time to try different looks and took photos and videos for us to compare at the end. The time and attention to detail she put in was 5* along with giving me access to all of her luxury products in her kit. She is worth every penny, Highly recommend

Knowledgeable relaxed and positive
Gillian is very knowledgeable about what she does and did not make me feel uncomfortable about knowing VERY little about make up! Going from my summer trial to my autumn wedding my skin tone had turned lighter and my hair had changed- I had a ‘night before’ panic but when Gillian arrived she put me at ease. Gillian was knowledgeable about weddings and wedding suppliers which was really supportive and helpful during the wedding process.

Couldn't have asked for more
Gillian recently did my makeup for my wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I had a trial with Gillian and she was so helpful in planning that we have it on the same day as my hair trial so that we get the full look, she happily accommodated my request for a weekend due to childcare and when in my trial she listened when I asked for changes to my makeup. On the wedding day Gillian did mine, my mum and 3 bridesmaids makeup, it all ran smoothly, on time and we all loved our end result!

Went above and beyond
Thank you so much G! G done my bridal make up and make up for two bridesmaids too. She went above and beyond helping us get ready (not just the make up but helping with the dress too!) I would recommend G 100%, definitely made me feel at ease on the wedding day and helped to ensure everything could go as smoothly as she could! Thank you again G!

Lovely addition to my day
I met Gillian at a wedding show and booked her for my wedding day. We had a trial where we chatted about my make up style and agreed on my look for the big day. Gillian was a lovely addition to my wedding morning and is very friendly. She did a fantastic job on my make up for the day and to turned out exactly as I was wanting. The bridesmaids and my mum also all looked beautiful. I would recommend Gillian as a wedding make up artist, she did a great job on the day and was a lovely addition to my morning.
