Super talented hair and make up artist who is an absolute pleasure to work with. Maria worked with myself and 2 model for 8 hours and it flew by.

Fantastic skills with make and and hair she also has the rare creative flair with special effects. I was going for a "lara croft" inspired shoot with cuts and bruises and Maria executed perfectly. She worked fast and was so easy to get along with - fantastic person to have on set!

Maria also has a great eye for a photo and offers up great ideas which is fantastic! Really enjoyed our shoot together - highly recommended! Thank you Maria!

Booked Maria after she responded to one of my casting calls and she didn't disappoint in delivering the requirements of the casting call. She communicated well before the event, turned up on time and provided some great make-up designs to compliment the models and their outfits. Wouldn't hesitate in using Maria again.

Maria did the make up for a group shoot I organised in a studio local to me. She did very impressive 50's style make up for everyone and worked tirelessly to get everyone ready for the shoot.

She is professional, friendly and easy to get along with. Her make up skills are spot on. I'd highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for all your hard work Maria and for helping to make the shoot fun and friendly. Everyone looked absolutely fantastic thanks to you!

I had an amazing time getting my make up done by Maria at Hinwick House Yesterday!

Maria is a friendly, fun and chatty lady with a talent of producing a variety of styled make up at a very high standard.

Working with over 20 models, it was amazing what she could do within the limited amount of time she had. Going from Steam punk, to vintage and then to Tribal, it amazes me how patient she was, using brushes with precision and paying close attention to detail - accessorizing the face with glitter and steam punk cogs.

I felt completely comfortable having Maria do my make up and was very happy with the results. I loved my pink tribal make up!

I totally recommend Maria. I'm looking forward to working with her again. :D x

P.S Thank you for the lift to and from the location. x

I Needed an MUA for a studio test shoot for an agency model on Friday and Maria was recommended to me. She was very professional and friendly, did a great job of the models hair & make-up and also had great input with the styling of the shoot. Very easy to get along with and she quickly built great rapport with the model. Her attention to detail was great and she worked quickly through the different looks. Very organised throughout the shoot, well skilled and creative. I hope to work with Maria again soon, very highly recommended! :)

Maria's a fantastic MUA! Can't rate her highly enough - reliable, organised, professional and she has a really great energy. Maria turned up raring to go and was straight into things adding input and bouncing ideas around and really contributed greatly to the shoot. She worked fast and changed the looks up as we went along, and had great attention to detail checking on hair and make up whilst pictures were being taken, getting stuck in on reflector holding as well as doing the make up, and assisted with styling. Maria built great rapport with the model as well. The standard of make up was really high, totally flawless. I'd love to shoot with Maria again, she's a real asset to have on a shoot. Very highly recommend Maria :-) xxx

Maria is such a lovely lady to work with i got to work with her on a location shoot in woburn and would highly recommended her to any body needing an MUA for a shoot. Her makeup is done to perfection and both the looks she came up with were amazing. She was so easy to talk to and gave advice and tips on makeup. I definately choose the perfect MUA to use and would definately work with Maria again.

I have worked with Maria quite a few times, on every occasion she has been polite and very professional. Maria is great at talking to customers and clients and always listens to their ideas and views.

Maria has always got new ideas and produces excellent makeup looks that cater for lots of different genres in the industry from a variety of fashion to bridal to theatrical makeup and more.

She is lovely to work with and has a great personality. I would definitely recommend her!
