“I don't even know where to begin with how incredible Shona was! Right from the trial I felt incredibly comfortable & relaxed. I don't wear make up very often & so was a bit nervous I wouldn't feel like myself. Shona immediately made me feel at ease & I was so happy with how my make up turned out, she even had to do a last minute repair on a few of us as we shed a few happy tears before leaving. Shona did my myself, my Mum & my five bridesmaids and made it look like an absolute breeze while the girls all look incredibly beautiful.
I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend having Shona be part of your day!”
