Testimonials

“Sonara is a true artist, dedicated and incredibly passionate about her work.
She was my first and only choice for my bridal make up – and I can quite honestly say that I was amazed at how I looked – beautiful. This is especially amazing as I have irritant dermatitis on my face and it is make up that produces my ‘flare ups’. Sonara knew that this was a major concern for me as I, obviously, wanted to look good on my wedding day. She discussed my options and used make up that suited my skin condition and also gave flawless coverage. I couldn’t have looked better!!
From the trial to the wedding day her professionalism and quality of work is paramount, yet she is still kind, bubbly and a joy to be around.
I would highly recommend Sonara to any bride that wants to look their absolute best on their big day!”
Vikki Whiteford-Davies (Bride)

“Sonara made me me feel totally at ease- the trial session was fun and I knew from this that I had every confidence in her to make my big day special. She consulted me on everything she did and the results were amazing! I only wish that she could do my make up every day. She is truly gifted in what she does and would recommend her, and have done, to all the brides I meet”

“I could babble on and on about how awesome Sonara is – both as a makeup artist and as a person!
I have sat for many an hour whilst she paints my face and makes me look beautiful and every time i am blown away.
Simply put, she is one of the most talented makeup artists i have had the pleasure of working with and if i could afford to hire her as my personal day to day make up artist i certainly would. She never ceases to amaze me. Professional, creative, fun and unique in every way!”
