Helena Bonney Makeup Artist

Helena was fantastic in both my trial and on the morning of my wedding! I was lucky enough to know Helena personally years ago and when I was planning my wedding I knew there was no one else I would trust with my make up for such a special day. She was incredibly patient and explained everything to someone who's idea of make up is a quick sweep of mascara!! I couldn't recommend her enough ❤️

My nearest and dearest had arranged a vintage inspired Hen Party for me at the Hotel du Vin as they know I adore the 1940/50's. Helena really made the event. She is such a delight to chat to whilst she's making you over and my guests and I were totally delighted with our romantic vintage looks. So much so one of my guests booked her straight away for her wedding make up. Thank you so much Helena. X

Helena is an absolutely amazing make up artist and I have recommended her countless times!She did my wedding make up and made the whole experience so special and memorable. She was patient and spent time in a trial with me beforehand, carefully considering and helping me decide the look I wanted to make me feel as comfortable and happy with it as possible. She didn’t mind trying different styles and knew what practical questions to ask about what I was going for, to make sure it would last all day. She Is so knowledgeable and also taught me helpful tips along the way for when I am doing my own make up! When it came to the wedding day, she was not only completely calm and cool-headed but she was reassuring to have around! She is so experienced and friendly and welcoming to everyone, it made the morning more special to have her there.Helena is great and I look forward to hiring her again for future events and special occasions when I want to look and feel amazing! Thank you!

Helena is a fabulous make up artist, she did my make up and my hair for my wedding and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is chatty and puts you at such ease, she really listened to what I and my bridesmaids wanted and we all looked amazing.

Helena did the makeup for me and my bridesmaids the morning of my wedding and she couldn’t have been a more welcome addition. She was totally calm and fun despite being faced with also having to do all of our hair as my hairdresser threw her back out the night before! She took it all in her stride and did an amazing job which included tackling an up-do with dreads for one of my bridesmaids and keeping makeup to a bare minimum for me as I’m a novice and terrified of eyeliner! She did such a great job that one of my bridesmaids subsequently booked her for her wedding so we had the pleasure of her company again. I honestly can’t recommend her enough- zero stress, no piling it on with a trowel and just a lovely person to have around at such an exciting and potentiall stressful time.

Helena was amazingly. She got the look I wanted perfect and was able to help and give advice on the best colours. She has much experience and it shows. My make up was flawless and I only had to top up the lipstick once during the evening. My hair was also perfect exactly like the photo I showed and stayed in place perfectly all night. Thank you so much Helena can't wait for another event so I can use you again.

Helena was lovely to have as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. We did a trial which was a great way to test everything out, and Helena was great in offering advise and different options. My makeup for the wedding day stayed in place all day, and I loved how she styled my hair. Would highly recommend for bridal hair and makeup.
