Sophie did an amazing job on my wedding day. I felt flawless and beautiful thanks to the way she did my make up. My sister and mum also had their make up done and loved the results too. I had the HD airbrushing and my make up stayed on all day and all night no problem. I would definitely recommend Sophie, not only has she got a real talent but she is such a warm and friendly person too, which contributed to me feeling so relaxed on the day of the wedding. Thanks so much Sophie . Rebecca

Thank you so much for coming so early to do my make up for my sisters wedding. I was so happy with it and everyone commented how amazing it looked. You made me feel so good about myself. Your work is brilliant and I would highly recommended you to everyone

Not only did she do my make up but she actually helped me find another hairdresser to style my hair as I had been let down twice 2 weeks before the big day. Thank you again Sophie...your an absolute star X

Sophie did wedding make up for myself, my mum and my 3 bridesmaids. She did an amazing job. We all had a trial and she listened to our ideas then added her own professional touch, the results were great. Loved the airbrushing!! Thank you

Myself and my friend booked Sophie to do a make up session. I would highly recommend Sophie she was highly professional and talked through all the elements of how to put make up on. Talking us through step by step of what she was using and what brushes to use. I was so pleased with my final look. I am definitely going to book Sophie for my next event for her to do my make up x

Sophie did our makeup for my wedding in March - she was brilliant from start to finish. After a bad experience with another artist, Sophie was the complete opposite. She listened to all of our requests and was flexible with timings and locations. I would highly recommend!

Sophie did my wedding make up back in March. I must say how fantastic the whole process was. I went for a trial which was very professional and got a very warm welcome. She listened to everything that I liked and disliked to create the look that I wanted. Originally it was only me who was getting makeup done but one of my bridesmaids decided to get hers done on the day. This wasn't a problem for Sophie and she nailed it. I would recommend her services to anyone

Your warm and friendly personality made me feel instantly comfortable with you. At the make up trial you seemed to know exactly what suited me which was different to what I was used to but I loved it! On the day you made me feel so at ease and made it totally stress-free. I cannot recommend you enough, I know without you the morning would not have run as smoothly as it did.

I had my make up ready to apply during the day for touch ups but I can honestly say that I didn't use any of it at all.

My make up stayed totally flawless for 24 hours! Which meant that I didn't spend any time away from our guests to reapply.

I would definately recommend Sophie she's certainly worth every penny

I booked Sophie for my wedding in August 2017 and it was amazing she made me feel like a princess and I got lots of lovely compliments from guests throughout. She created the perfect 1950's vintage makeup style without it being too heavy on my skin and it lasted all day and evening. She is a complete professional and I will be recommending her to everyone! Thank you so much, Sophie! xxx

I chose Sophie as my make up artist for my wedding in September 2017. Myself, my two bridesmaids and mum all had our make up done for the big day and we were all extremely happy with the outcome! She listened to what we all wanted and delivered us all unique looks that complemented us perfectly! She is running a very professional business with speedy replies and a lovely make up studio. I was really pleased with my make up look and it stayed put too, it didn't budge all day and night! I never had to reapply anything! Thank you Sophie for an amazing service and for helping make me feel extra special on my big day!

Sophie did my bridal make up for my wedding on 8th September along with 3 bridesmaids and my mum. I would highly recommend Sophie. She did all of our make up so beautifully and naturally and it stayed put all day - just what I wanted. She listened to what I was hoping for and was able to carry it out perfectly. Sophie would always reply promptly to messages and gave great advice for skin care prior to the wedding.

Thank you so much x

I had an appointment this morning with Sophie for a Make Up lesson and absolutely loved every minute. As a busy working mum of 2 I had let my skincare routine become non existent and rarely did my make up.

Sophie talks about what you would like from the lesson and goes through step by step of what products she advises to use and how to apply them. After the lesson I went away feeling really pampered and a head full of info but luckily I think I'd remember most of it.

I was really pleased with my look feel confident that I can recreate it myself once I've bought the products.

I would not hesitate to recommend Makeup by Sophie Downing to anyone.

I've got Sophie booked for my wedding next year but I'm sure I might go before to pick up other tips and techniques

My wedding makeup was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Sophie was professional and yet comfortable and helped to create a relaxed atmosphere on my wedding morning. She was able to create exactly what I asked for and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend Sophie and her incredible Make up skills. Sophie did mine & my 3 Bridesmaids make up for my wedding day in Feb 2020. I was so pleased with the look she created.

The service she provided was super professional with a pre arranged trial where she provided loads of advice as well as listening to all my requirements. On the day she took on my small requests for changes from the trial and the look she created for the day gave me so much confidence as well as being the natural look I was hoping to achieve.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for Bridal make up for their big day. Thank you so much for everything you did for myself and my Bridesmaids.

Sophie did the make up for my bridal party including myself and from start to finish has been professional, friendly and most importantly awesome at make up! During the tough few months she has communicated well, offered support and been really helpful. She also did a lash lift for me which was amazing! I can highly recommend her to any brides, I myself was unsure of what i wanted and she helped me every step of the way. Thank you Sophie!

Sophie perfected my make-up look for my daughter's wedding. The airbrush foundation was a revelation and I had so many compliments about my eye make-up. Gave me a confidence that lasted all day and night.

I booked Sophie last minute as we had to postpone our wedding to August and I needed a new makeup artist. I was so glad when Sophie said she was free and booked in very quickly. communication was great, she definitely knew what she was doing which made the makeup trial for my wedding very easy and I was happy with even the first look I was given. fast forward to our wedding day and she made me look amazing with a natural but bronzey rose gold glow. would definitely recommend her for wedding makeup, and ill make sure to use my discount and return for a makeup session. thankyou Sophie

I’ve always been a little worried about what I would look like on my wedding day but Sophie ensured that those thoughts were not present on my big day!

She did my all bridal party makeup and I was very pleased. Sophie was even brilliant with my dog being around our feet whilst we had it done, which was lovely. Thank you for helping me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Sophie is an amazing makeup artist.. so professional and organised. I loved my wedding makeup and so did all my bridesmaids. Sophie arrived early, was so friendly and polite and knew exactly what would work well. She works with amazing products including the airbrushing which was great full coverage, yet light and it lasted all day. I honestly couldn't recommend Sophie more such an amazing makeup artist. Thank you so much for everything xx

Sophie is incredibly professional, and really knows what she is talking about!

She did makeup for my mother, 3 bridesmaids and myself 3 weeks ago and she did an absolutely amazing job! I felt like a beautiful bride and the job she did with my makeup made feel confident and it lasted the entire day looking flawless.

During our trial we tried lots of different looks to find one that felt right for me and matched my personality and style. If you are looking for a makeup artist then I definitely recommend Sophie! Thank you so much for your advice and guidance and for making me feel confident and beautiful! x

Sophie is a wonderful make-up artist! I absolutely loved my make-up on my wedding day and I know my bridesmaids and mum felt the same as well. She uses a vast variety of products and has an amazing choice of colours from all different brands. We particularly loved the airbrushing. This created a flawless finish and felt so light on the skin. Perfect for the Big Day! And best of all our make-up stayed on the whole time (even through the tears!). Thank you so much Sophie! We will definitely be recommending you to friends and family and using your services again in the future

Sophie was brilliant from the moment I met her to the moment she left my house on my wedding day. She was friendly and kind she made me feel at ease listened to what I wanted and helped me get the look I dreamed about. The airbrushing was flawless and she left me feeling very special on my wedding day X I would highly recommend Sophie, my make up was still in place way into the early hours of the day after my wedding and even the emotions and heat of the day didn't reck the flawless finish X I had so many compliments on how fresh my face looked and how lovely It looked X Sophie is defo an investment and made me feel pampered and like a princess on my day X I am quiet fussy when it comes to my make up and Sophie nailed my look X I cannot thank her enough X

Sophie did the make-up for my wedding, which included seven bridesmaids and three other members of the wedding party. Sophie was extremely professional from the start, from the initial questionnaire about my wedding, through to the make-up trial and the big day itself. She listened carefully to each person regarding the look that they wanted to achieve and everyone felt very happy with the end result. We all chose to have air-brushed make-up applied, which looked and felt amazing. We were all left feeling thoroughly glamourous and pampered.

Stephanie Moore

​

Sophie simply brilliant! Met Sophie at a wedding fair a few years back and I would highly recommend her for any make up occasion.

I used Sophie for my wedding last October she was excellent, made my bridal party feel relaxed, ensured all make up was perfect and all the girls were happy.

I have recommended Sophie a few times now to other brides to be which have been equally as happy with there make up as I have.

Thank you for everything.

If you are looking for someone to make you feel like an absolute princess on your wedding day, this is the lady for you. When I first contacted Sophie I was worried that we would be pushed for time as there were 3 bridesmaids, my mum and myself to get ready all before 10.30 � To which Sophie replied "no worries, anything is possible" � Sophie is so easy to get on with and keeps all your ideas in mind as she works her magic. My make up was literally just want I wanted and lasted all day and night. I would highly recommended her. Thanks again Sophie

I booked Sophie for my wedding day on the 17/8/17 and honestly can't thank her enough for the brilliant job she did on my make up and two of the bridal party's. She created exactly what I had wanted for the day and I had so many lovely compliments on my make up. I felt amazing on the day and with her make up felt so much more confident! Nothing was too much trouble for her and she stayed right till I walked out of the door for any last minute make up touch ups. Couldn't recommend her enough, thank you Sophie!

Georgina Smith

Sophie did my make up on my wedding day and did an amazing job. She created a very natural but glamorous look which made me feel amazing on the day!

I felt absolutely beautiful for my big day so thank you very much Sophie xx

Sophie did my wedding make up as well as my bridesmaids on the 12th January. Sophie did an amazing job, making us all feel beautiful. I had a trial with Sophie a couple of months before and she took her time to make sure everything was perfect and that I was happy with everything. On the day Sophie our everyone at ease and made sure everyone was happy with their makeup. I had sooo many compliments on the day, my make up lasted and I cannot recommend Sophie enough!

Sophie did an absolutely incredible job on my wedding makeup. From the first time meeting at a wedding showcase to my trial and to the big day, she was always on hand to answer questions and offer her expertise. My makeup on the day was perfect and lasted hours on end, literally through the scorcher of a day, lots of happy tears and up until 4am when I finally took it off and went to bed. Highly recommend! Sophie really knows her stuff and is so talented
