Kind words from Clients

Jess was the absolute best makeup artist I have ever used and I’m so lucky I found her to do my wedding. She completely understood my concerns about getting my makeup right for the day and took all my individualities into account instead of just doing what she does on everyone else, which is what I’ve experience with some other makeup artists. She listened really carefully to what I wanted and was such a joy to be around, both at my makeup trial and wedding morning. She was so professional and couldn’t do enough for us, even doing my nans makeup last minute. Her whole vibe made me feel completely relaxed on my wedding morning and everyone was commenting on how beautiful my makeup looked.

If I lived in Ireland I’d be hiring her to do my makeup every Saturday night! I even now use lots of different products she introduced me to at my trial in my everyday makeup routine now, that’s how much I loved what she did! Don’t hesitate to choose Jess for your wedding makeup, you will not regret it!

I booked make up with Jess for my wedding. Not only did she do my makeup on the day but advised me on all my skincare, all of which I'm still using today, she did multiple tan trials to ensure we got it just right and she did my brows too, which she still does now! She by far does the best brow wax and tint I've ever had! Jess text me at least once a week with offers or recommendations of products that she came across which was great and she replied to every query I had almost instantly. On the day she was such a calming lovely presence. She made up 6 of us on the wedding morning. Everyone wanted a different look and all of them looked amazing and loved their makeup.I adored my makeup and it never budged all day. She knew exactly what way I wanted it done. Also whatever knack she has with the tan meant I didn't have a mark on my white dress the next morning!Jess was born to do what she does. I could write pages more on how excellent jess was but I'd just say go book her!

Jess did make up for myself, my bridal party and my mother for a Christmas wedding. From my initial contact, through the trial and the day itself Jess was a pillar of reassurance and support. No question was too silly and she offered great, practical advice. I was excited but nervous on the day and she put us all totally at ease. The make up was exactly what each member wanted and Jess worked tirelessly to look after each of us and make sure we got off ok. Our makeup lasted all day and if I had to get married again tomorrow, I would jump at the chance to have Jess back again.

Jessica was an absolute dream of a makeup artist! I was not an easy bride and had no idea what I wanted, she was so patient with me and helped me create the perfect look for me! She gave me amazing tips for the lead up to the wedding for skin care and so many great insights about planning the wedding and the day itself that she had learned from experience.On the day it was just like having a great friend there to get us ready. She is so lovely, funny and kept us all so calm and made sure we had a great time. She took extra time taking pictures of us and reminding us to take selfies and enjoy the moment and not get caught up so that when I woke up the day after the wedding I had all her pics to enjoy way before the official ones which meant so much!Not just me but my mum, mother in law and bridesmaids were so pleased with everything she did and she knew exactly what to do for every skin types, tone and for different ages! Honestly I couldn’t have asked for more in a make up artist from start to finish I cannot recommend her enough, my make up looked absolutely incredible and was so much better than I could have imagined.

My wonderful wedding, what a perfect day !!

One of my “must haves “ on my special day was to look flawless and have the best MUA - and this is exactly what I got !!

My makeup totally exceeded my expectations ... Jess made me feel and look a million dollars

Excellent communication throughout the booking process and we chatted loads prior and had a trial run before the big day. She also did mine & my bridesmaids spray tans & it was flawless - so handy that she can do beauty treatments too, really handy for when planning a destination wedding!

Jess completely made over all my bridesmaids too, and they were also completely blown away with how they looked on the day

My 12 year old daughter looked like a princess and loved her look

We all felt and looked like Hollywood movie stars 

Thank you Jess for making us look amazing and flawless

No airbrush needed this day!

I’ve had my makeup professionally done a lot in the past and you are the best! I only wish you lived in Wales so you could do my makeup more

 Jessica did my makeup for my wedding in Sept 2018. I still look back at my photos now and loved my makeup so much! She was such a joy to deal with as a supplier, not only did she do an amazing job and look after all my bridal party so brilliantly but she was such a calming and reassuring presence on the morning. I would highly recommend her to any bride to be looking for a bridal makeup artist!

Maria - Bride


Jessica was my makeup artist for my wedding day and I couldn’t have been happier with how the makeup turned out! I absolutely loved my makeup on the day and all of my bridal party were delighted with their make up too. She was so nice and easy to get along with she really put me at ease on the morning of my big day. I would highly recommend her for any occasion.

I was very pleased with the end result of my makeup appointment. Jess listened carefully to what look I wanted and executed it flawlessly. The whole experience was very relaxing and enjoyable, the minute you walk through the door she has the ability to put you at ease, I have and would recommend Portrait Beaute again.

 I’ve had my brows done by Jessica for years now. I wouldn’t dream of going to anyone else. She knows exactly how to shape them to how I like and they look perfect every time.Her kind, caring, pleasant nature makes the whole experience an enjoyable one every time I’m in her chair!

Pamela - Beauty Client


Jessica has been looking after all my beauty therapy since day one. From eyebrow waxing to skincare advice I wouldn't trust anyone else with my problematic skin. The absolute operation transformation that she performs every time she does my make up is extraordinary. No matter what the occasion I never have to ask she just gets it right every time! I have never felt so flawless as when she performs her magic on my face. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone for any occasion. She will make you feel a million dollars and you are guaranteed a good laugh throughout too!

Jess is absolutely incredible...I have worked with her on a number of occasions and totally blown away by her professionalism, her ability to put every bride at ease and her skills to make everyone look so radiant. You are a fountain of knowledge and I hope to collaborate with you again in the future.

Jessica is a gem who I always turn to for honest and reliable skincare, beauty and make up advice. Her make up skills are second to none and helping me to feel good is always at her forefront. She is exceptionally good at what she does. From tanning, to make up, to saving my decimated eyebrows from years of overplucking – there is no one I would trust more!  Everyone deserves to feel beautiful and in the very talented hands of Jess that is a guarantee!

I've had my make up done by Jessica for 4 or 5 occasions at this stage! It never moves or gets shiny. It's always perfect! And I've often gotten it done at lunch time and it's still perfect at the crazy hours of the morning. She’s always more than willing to put up with any requests and always flexible with bookings,etc. I always feel a million dollars like a glam queen when I come out from having my make up done by Jessica
