Seamus CassidyManaging Director of Happy Endings

Emma has worked with me on many occasions, from doing my own make up on my wedding day in 2007 and since then for many of my clients & friends over the years. Emma is talented, most reliable, honest, easy to work with, extremely creative and is always top of my list. Her work is second to none in my eyes and her style is current. I would have no problems recommending Emma's services to anyone.

Clare MolloyWedding Planner

Once my sister took her makeup trial with Emma, she knew that she was perfect for the immense task of dealing with five of us on the big wedding day. Not only was Emma very pleasant to have around on the morning of, she managed to put everyone at ease with her obvious skill and expertise - creating a look that was individual for everyone concerned. Her work was highly praised throughout the day/night - would not hesitate for a second in recommending her. Many thanks Emma.

Louise KellyJournalist at Irish Independent

Emma is a ‘do-er’, her attention to detail and perfectionism are impecable, and she uses her own initiative to source costumes as a favour – such as a massive group scene in black tie – in short she goes above and beyond and is an asset to any production, as well as getting along with everybody she works with.

You were fantastic. I will definitely use you again and teach you as much as I can. Thank you so much. The job was so much better with you there.

Kate ConkeyMax Factor Spokesperson

Emma worked in the costume department and assisted with makeup also. Her work ethic and attention to detail were exemplary and her ability to work well within a very tight knit, focused group was essential to the smooth running of our set. It is very rare to find people with such drive and commitment, coupled with initiative and resourcefulness. Emma’s positive attitude, aptitude in her area of expertise and general friendly demeanour made her one of the best collaborators I have had the pleasure of working with in my many years in the industry. I would not hesitate to employ Emma for any future productions and would have no qualms in recommending her to anyone else.

I got married last June and Emma did my make-up and my two sisters and my mam. She was brilliant! I did a trial a couple of months beforehand where we went through everything and the make-up was gorgeous. She uses lots of different brands and gave me a full list of everything she used. I’m not a huge make-up wearer but it was so lovely I ended up buying everything she used later on and am still using it today! On the day Emma was very relaxed and calm and fitted in no problem at all – it’s always good to have relaxed people around! I really did feel very glowing and beautiful and the make-up lasted all day long. Book her immediately!!

A huge ‘Thank you’ to Emma, for doing our make up on my wedding. Emma made us all feel a million dollars on the day. Even my mother, who was unsure about having her make up done by a stranger, was delighted at the result. I honestly couldn’t recommend Emma highly enough! Her work is simply amazing! Thanks again Emma! xx

Anna LangfordBridal Client

Thank you for doing such an amazing job on the makeup for my wedding day and for creating a unique makeup look for me that really stood out from the other weddings i’ve been to. All the bridesmaids and my mum looked stunning and I received so many lovely comments on how great I looked! It was a pleasure to have you around for the morning and you really helped to create a relaxed atmosphere for us all.

I just wanted to thank you for doing a really great job (Donna Moore 12 July) and keeping us all very calm and relaxed the morning of my wedding. You were absolutely brilliant and everyone looked fab! I will be recommending you to everyone and anyone who will listen to me! Thank so much.

Donna MooreBridal Client

I am so embarrassed that it has taken me this long to write and thank you so much for everything you did for us on June 15th. Everyone was thrilled with their make-up, especially Caoimhe. You were really very good to sew Aoibheanns dress. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw you with a needle and thread and all I could think was what an incredibly kind thing for you to do. So thank you so much for your kindness. I was over in London with Aoibheann last week and she was looking great. It took me awhile to figure what was different about her. It turns out that she has changed her make-up and how she applies it. There was plenty of Emma said this and Emma said that. For once in her life she listened to someone and looks fab as a result. Hopefully we’ll meet again and you can work your magic on us again.

Caoimhe ByrneBridal Client

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work on my wedding day. We all loved the make up you did for us and felt very glamorous. You were such a pleasure to have around on the day – lots of fun and very calm, exactly what I needed. Also, thank you for always replying to my emails so quickly in the lead up to the wedding. It helped me relax with planning my wedding at such a distance to know you were so on top of everything. Hope you are very well and sending you my warmest regards, Susie (back in a freezing Melbourne)
