I had the pleasure of staying and working with Caroline during my studio days at Wolfe cottage. Caroline is a fantastic host, incredibly easy to get along with and her makeup artistry is next level.

We started with a classical look which was impeccably done. Through the weekend I could see her creativity come to life with each look evolving. The photographers would give her a rough idea of what they wanted and she would develop that into a finished piece. Caroline's skills don't end at makeup either, she is creative in all forms from amazing headdresses to beautifully designed clothing and props. Towards the end of my stay we got the chance to do one of Carolines ideas and I was turned into a woodland fairy nymph. Her makeup and costume was a perfect finish to an already wonderful weekend :)

I can wholeheartedly recommend Bear!

Thank you so much for having me, Caz xx

Well what can I say about "Bear" - well just magical and wonderful to start with. I have known Caroline (and Andrew) for a little while now as I have become a regular at the studio. Wonderful people in wonderful surroundings who will do their utmost to help, advise and assist with your shoot.

If you haven't met them or used the studio and services - why not your missing out on something special.

I highly recommend and also glad to have become very good friends.

Many Thanks to you both..

Got to work with this talented lady during my event at Wolfe Cottage Studios , and see her skills come to life . Caroline was great , she offered to do my make up for the day and she had sone her research and knew what kind of make up was my style . She is very precise and makes clean looks and swift work . Later in day I got to see more of her creative make up come to life and quickly learnt that she is able to adapt. It was spring on her when asked to do some body paint , and like a true professional she had a quick practise and got to it . Once again to finsh off the day , we switched things up and did a colourful make up look to tie in with the styling . It is clear that Caroline thinks about the full picture and how it will all work together . It is great to work with someone so creative , thank you Jess x

I had a lovely weekend at Wolfe Cottage for my studio day.

Caroline was a great host, and even better make up artist/ stylist - she's very creative, was lots of fun getting dressed up in the styled looks she'd put together! And getting lovely make up done too.

Definitely recommended if you'd like lovely new interesting pictures!

I was given the opportunity to work with Caroline and Andrew yesterday and had a fantastic time.

They both made me feel very welcome and it is fair to say that the three of us bonded very quickly.

Caroline is a very talented and kind woman, she created a fantastic look for me which was very different from my usual style and I loved every minute of it.

Caroline also used some UV body paint to create butterflies and flowers on me and I am very excited about seeing the images.

The pre communications were brilliant, and I hope to work with Caroline again very soon! I would most definitely recommend her.

It was such a pleasure to meet the Lovely Caroline during an evening group shoot to the Wolfe Cottage Studio 2 days ago.

She is qualified and professional but also very creative and loads of imagination. You realise this, once you arrive at the Studio and see all the props and clothes she has made by herself.

During the group shoot of 3h on a ballet theme, she managed to change the makeup in a short time for these 3 different sets.

He has done a wonderful work and has been an amazing host :) She's a talented MUA and an adorable person.

I highly recommend Caroline and look forward to working with her again.

Thank you, Caroline!

Today was my first time working with Bear and what a great experience it was! Making me feel right at home and as if we’re friends rather than meeting for the first time.

She is a super bubbly and friendly woman who enjoys using her talents for the modelling world. As well as a great make up artist, body painter, she is also a seamstress with many costumes under her belt for others to dress up in!

I feel priveledged to have been picked for her casting and will definitely be working with her again in the future without shadow of a doubt!

Pre-coms were clear and with quick responses.

Thanks again for making me look awesome! :)

Highly recommend!

On Saturday, I held a photoshoot event day at Wolfe Cottage Studio. It was Victorian themed.

Caroline was the set-designer for the event, and I cannot express how wonderful her work was. She is full of ideas, and managed to create 2 very different, and very beautiful sets within a short space of time. Thanks to Caroline, the guest photographers were able to photograph 3 different scenes, which topped off the event perfectly.

Plus, she's one of the nicest women you will ever meet!

Thank you, lovely Caroline!

I had the pleasure of working with Caroline and her husband at Wolfe Cottage Studio yesterday. Lupinenoir and myself were booked as a duo for their camera club night. Both Caroline and Andrew were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. I absolutely loved Caroline's makeup area with lots of mirrors and makeup products. Caroline and I chose the dress for the shoot and discussed the makeup. It was a strong makeup for a night out to match the theme. It was so nice to have my makeup done for a change and the it looked fantastic. It was great to work with her and I hope we will do it again.

I had a shoot with Caroline when I booked some time on a model day at the studio that she and her husband run together. It was such an eye-opener! I'd always seen make-up as something that just covered the blemishes and cleared the surfaces but Caroline was able to bring ideas to the shoot that I'd never imagined were possible. It was a pleasure and an inspiration to work with her and I'm looking forward to doing so again.

I should mention the friendly welcome before I close off this reference. Caroline and Andrew seem to have this skill of making all the team in the studio feel like a large family. I'd highly recommend them.

Its easy to get carried away with the shoot, however you need to acknowledge all parties involved. I must say Caroline is just a master at conjuring up her magic in the dressing room with the model. Nothing ever seems to phase her and she has a very creative flare not only as a MUA but also with set designs and shoot ideas. Caroline always greets with a warm welcome and makes you feel at home.

We will be sharing our ideas for some future shoots as there is an Aladdin's cave of props and outfits etc. that are available and may assist with the shoot.

Highly Recommend

Massive thanks again Caroline.

This is the second shoot I've had with Caroline, and I've gotta be honest I know nothing about the magic that goes in the dressing room. But whatever mystical spirit Caroline brings, she brings every time, just WOW! We were doing an Ultraviolet light shoot with Ultraviolet make up and powder, the models looked sensational. She's bloody brilliant fact!! Totally recommended!

Caroline's attention to detail results in stellar makeup for any shoot! She outdid herself with the UV shoot at their Camera Club night. She even had a model come beforehand to practice! Dedication!

Her and Andrew invested a lot in UV paint & a great set for the best Camera Club night at Wolfe Cottage yet! I was lightning & the other model was fire. We were painted on time, no issues. The resulting images were fabulous as Caroline's design came to life! She's a dream to work with, so sweet & fun.I can't wait to work with her again! 100% recommend! Book her!

I had my first photoshoot at Wolfe Cottage studios Sunday, and what a fantastic time I had!! Myself and Mark Peers organised and discussed photoshoot ideas and makeup ideas. As we done two different styles of clothing.

Caroline done a BRILLIANT job of the two makeup ideas, I loved the smokey eyes makeup. I would highly recommend her.

Plus we had a good laugh and chatted all the way throughout her doing the makeup which made it fun! I will be working with them again soon.

I'm looking forward too it!

Mystic Magic

Had a lovely day working alongside Caroline and her husband at Wolfe Cottage Studio for a special Mystic Magic product shoot to showcase some of my latest creative clothing designs. Caroline did a great job with makeup especially with very little to go on after our main makeup artist had to sadly drop out at last minute. Her and her husband were very welcoming and lovely to talk to plus the studio space was most fantastic!

Caroline saves the day!

We had a shoot scheduled this past weekend at Caroline and her husband Andrew's infamous Wolfe Cottage Studio. The makeup artist canceled at the last minute due to illness, and Caroline jumped right in to save the day. She put in 6 hours of hard graft, making sure our models looked their best. Caroline was able to work to the client's brief without prior knowledge of the looks.

If you're booking a shoot at Wolfe Cottage, then it makes sense to get Caroline on board... seeing as how she lives next door. Her rates are reasonable and she's as friendly as a teddy bear. Just don't take any pictures of her during the BTS shots ;)

Carmen V

Worked again with Caroline for a big fashion shoot for a designer's website today! She stepped in last minute as MUA/co-studio owner when the original MUA could not make the shoot! She made up me, plus anther female and a male model. The looks were brilliant and executed as quickly as humanly possible (all while looking perfect!). She works efficiently creating a variety of looks that made the fashion shoot a success! Her input is on point! Such a wonderful professional to work with! Highest recommendations & have already booked future shoots!

Carmen V

Worked all day with Caroline for a number of different looks on an all day shoot! Caroline is a brilliant MUA and great fun on set. She works tirelessly to create perfect makeup looks that match the mood of the set & clothes. We did everything from natural beauty to avant garde - having fun the entire time! I was offered endless snacks and coffee while having my makeup done. She is so professional and sweet! She has a great imagination and a great eye for color. She was on hand to update makeup throughout the sets. She is very skilled & has my highest recommendations! Future shoots already booked with her!
