This was my first time working with Natalie, although I had admired her work for several years. Beforehand she shared ideas with me and the model so that we were all on the same page and ready to go as soon as we were all at the studio. Make-up and hair were done to an excellent standard and Natalie was very easy for both me and the model to work with.

Changing looks throughout the shoot was no trouble at all and Natalie was able to advise on the best order in which to do the looks, as well as making the transitions as easy as possible.

I hope to work with Natalie again soon!

Like many of us here, we have admired Natalie's work even if we haven't taken advantage of her skills, I know I have.

An instagram model contacted me for a location shoot and low and behold, Natalie was her MUA!

Thank you Natalie for making my job easier, your skills are awesome.

Highly recommended.

My first shoot today and using Natalie for the make-up, which was fantastic. Today’s model loved the look, so that really helps her confidence when I am doing the shoot. Natalie seems popular at Saracen House Studio and I can see why.

Have worked with Natalie several times in the past and never disappointed. She is highly efficient, professional, friendly and open to new ideas and suggestions too

We worked with Ivory Flame on a gold paint shoot and Natalie came along with lots of extras that could be added in to give texture and depth to the look as well

If you have never worked with MUA before you are really missing out and I would strongly recommend you do and Natalie is at the top of the list and I will definitely be working with her again in the future

When organising my Ballgowns and Burlesque event at the Hacienda, I wanted the very best creatives onboard to help photographers achieve the best images possible. Natalie's name sprang to mind immediately and I was delighted when she was available for two of the four days. Unfortunately, the trains were delayed due to the heat so she arrived a bit late on the first day, however she was so apologetic and worked quickly to make up for the lost time. The following day, she drove into central London to make sure it wouldn't happen again - a true professional that goes above and beyond! Natalie is so kind, considerate and incredibly skilful; she understood exactly what I was going for and worked with both myself and the other models to achieve something that looked great but also made us feel comfortable. I got so many comments on how good the make-up looked from the photographers, and it stayed put all day. A truly great talent and a lovely lady - one of the very few people I would let do my make-up regularly! Absolutely highest recommendation.

Natalie provided makeup on the day I was shooting with Sinopa Rin at her 'Ballgowns and Burlesque' event.

Natalie's work was first-class. She was efficient and friendly, and her work was exemplary. I would highly recommend her!

I've worked with Natalie a number of times now and she is an absolute star!

Such an enthusiastic and lovely person to work with and her skills are totally mind-blowing. I always know I can trust her to make me look my best!

HIGHLY recommended!

Natalie was recommended to me by Iulia David, so it doesn't get better than that and i definitely wasn't disappointed.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the work Natalie did working at my home with Chloe for a fashion and beauty shoot. Natalie did 3 completely different looks during the 4 hour shoot with both hair and makeup.

Cant wait to work with you again!!

I had the pleasure of working with Natalie last week in Dunmow. She was the HMUA on set for a fashion/beauty shoot I was modelling for.

Natalie was fully equipped, professional and chatty. Natalie is a pro at what she does and her skills are amazing! We had a good chat and giggle along the way and time flew by.

Lovely lady to work with and hopefully get to again soon!

And of course most highly recommended 😊

Thanks Natalie! X

Natalie IS SO SKILLED AND TALENTED!!!

She is an INCREDIBLE make-up artist! AND hair stylist!! She’s just incredible!! Her skills are so perfected! She has such wonderful attention to detail, making sure her looks are as flawless as possible, meaning that the photographers have much less work!!

Not to mention she is so fast! But never cuts corners! She’s just super quick.

She is also so knowledgable! She always gives me so many tips about hair care, skincare etc. She just really knows her stuff and it’s so comforting !!

I love working with Natalie as I know that she will make me look fabulous and take care of me whilst doing so! I also love that she asks my input and makes sure I’m happy with the looks too!

She is so passionate about her work and it’s just beautiful! She’s a wonder and you should book her immediately if you haven’t already!!

Natalie was the HMUA for the Iulia David beauty workshop I attended. She's so nice and very friendly and her skills are quite evident from the images on her profile. This was the first shoot I'd been involved in with a MUA on board so I was intrigued to see the result and I was very impressed! I can highly recommend Natalie to take your models makeup that one step further.

REUNITED AT LAST!

We first worked together nearly to the day a year ago, and lost contact somehow: but by an awesome stroke of good luck, Nat was the HMUA at a shoot I did with Iulia David, and we had a tearful reunion. (I'm exaggerating but it makes the story better haha).

Anyway, as per her norm Nat proceeded to do AMAZING creative hair & makeup with the speed of a ninja (though she doesn't actually seem to move that fast things get done really quick, it's decpetive). Seriously, if you need a HMUA... NATALIE IS YOUR GIRL. Look nowhere else. Okay?

She is a wonderful person, a bubbly presence, but can actually get the job done whilst talking (a skill many HMUAs lack haha). Not only that, but the quality of her work is some of the best that I've seen.

Nat is an all-rounder, the perfect person to book. Your search has ended.

We'll be working together again I'm sure (hopefully sooner than another year from now :P)

I'm VERY picky when it comes to make-up artists but I'd let Natalie do my make-up every day if I could! Honestly this women is so talented it's untrue, but also friendly, gentle and just lovely to chat to. A good make-up artist will transform your images and they don't come any better than this little gem!

I worked with the AMAZINGLY talented Natalie recently on a Latex/Corset themed shoot with photographer Julian M Kilsby recently and had a blast! #

My first shoot with Julian was rescheduled due to the snow, so we compared our diary's and found another! This was an absolute bonus as Natalie happened to be free! On the day of our shoot I had the most horrendous traffic driving up from Chippenham to Birmingham- but I made it! (Next time I have made a mental note to stay in the local area the evening before for sure!)

I arrived to meet Julian and the amazing MUA Natalie on set- and a stunning collection of bespoke latex by Dead Lotus Couture and corsets by Jem Corsets. It was a girls dream! Latex is something in particular I have been meaning to explore but hadn't got around to as most of my work is beauty, fashion or nude, so it was such a treat to be provided with such a beautiful, creative and unique wardrobe!

The Hair and Makeup was absolutely sublime and top quality. Natalie is top of her game! The application was very comfortable and flawless and Natalie uses such wonderful products. The Hair/Makeup is such an important ingredient to a shoot and I am always very careful who I let touch my skin- especially as I have sensitive eyes and skin. I couldn't recommend Natalie highly enough! She was very gentle and I absolutely LOVED the results throughout the day and the variety of looks. Her hair styling was also beautiful! I loved having an afro for the day- and kept my backcombed hair into the next day!

The day vanished in a puff of smoke- full to the brim of wardrobe changes and Hair/Makeup changes- but SO enjoyable and a break from the norm of what I usually do.

Thank you so much Natalie for your amazing talent and skills! I am REALLY looking forward to seeing the results from the day. Highly recommended to all and would love to work together again in the future, Helen x

I've work with Natalie on a couple of shoots now and most recently on the shoot I had with Ivory Flame. Natalie is a talented make-up artist, producing stunning results that matched the themes we were shooting and ensuring her model's make-up was maintained.

Natalie took time to review shots with me and suggest minor changes to the make-up to ensure flawless results.

In the time between theme changes Natalie ensured she made any changes as quickly as possible to keep the shoot flowing. I hope to work with her again soon.

I worked with Natalie for the first time today! I have admired her work for a long time and was very excited to be made up by her!

Natalie is by far, the FASTEST MUA I have ever worked with! She doesn't rush - she is just extremely quick and efficient!

She is an incredibly talented artist! Her work is beautiful - so much attention to detail! Also she clearly has a HUGE knowledge of her craft! The important part of that being that she knows exactly what works in front of the camera as she really understands how lighting works with make-up. Also, her hair skills are incredible !! And again, she is able to do it really quickly too!

It was amazing to watch Natalie create so many different and stunning looks on so many different models on today's shoot. She works so hard! Though she seems to make her work look effortless!! She seems like the perfect MUA to have on photo shoots as she is able to swap between models so easily! She was always keeping an eye on the models being shot, whilst doing another models make-up. At one point in the shoot, the photographer asked the model he was shooting to exaggerate her collarbones - although in the middle of doing another models make-up Natalie was there immediately adding oil to the other models collar bones having heard they would now. R in the shot. She then went right back to finishing the other models make-up. Talk about attebtiveness and multi-tasking abilities!!

I really loved what she did to my face and hair today! Starting with a natural look, Natalie really made my eyes pop and matched colours to me beautifully! She created a natural wavy hair so quickly I was amazed. And it looked great! Then we went quite retro! Which I adored! An amazing strong red lip with winged liner - both eyes seemed to match perfectly!! Not to mention the stunning tight retro curls! Finally we did a wet eye look, again with different hair! Natalie has a great eye and matched the hair to the look wonderfully and made it completely new!

She also made sure I was happy at all stages - making sure I was always comfortable and the I always liked the looks.

She was very friendly and I felt very comfortable with her! Natalie would be my first choice and recommendation for an MUA! I will indeed be recommending her to lots of people!!

After finding out that Natalie will join the team (me and Martin Higgs), i was so sooooo happy. That only could mean that pictures will be nothing but amazing. 😍

It is a second time when im working with this beautiful creature (and would work with her every day if i could) ❤❤ her make up and hair (!!!) skills just amazing.

We gave a really difficult task for Natalie - to improvise in our beauty photo shoot. And she done it so well! with some crazy hair, lots of oil and countouring. Oh and let's not forget glitters 😍❤

This girl is so talented, hardworking and patient! Styled my really long hair and kept it in very high standards all of the photo shoot and made sure that everything is perfect (and not even a single hair was in a wrong place) 💕

Lastly, her easy going personality, sense of humour and just being a genuine ( and lovely lovely ) person, made me really happy.

Can't recommend her enough! Top arrist!

Natalie, You are the best. Love You so much. And will own You forever for this day 😗❤

Nat did my makeup (timed!) for the Wella Trendvision awards and gosh she was an absolute star! She nailed the brief our client had given and did it all under huge pressure, perfectly. As it's clear from her portfolio anyway, Nat is a super talented girl - and she does both hair and makeup, which is really rare but really useful.

Nat's also SO NICE. Working with her is like chatting with a girlfriend, as any good HMUA should be! So sweet and willing to try new ideas, yet so competent and completely knows what she's doing!

I loved working with Nat and hope to do so again :)

So I met and worked with Natalie at Saracen House Studio last week as a start to my London tour. I have to say Natalie is one of the best make-up artists I've worked with and not just because shes fabulous at what she does.

She was really friendly, chatty and just made me feel really relaxed and comfortable. Half the time I wasn't even aware that she was doing my make-up I know that sounds strange but it's true, Natalie is just not an invasive artist.

The hair she created was effortless and stunning and really complimented my face and the style of the images we were trying to achieve. And the make-up was stop on, stayed on my face and again really complimented my face!...

I would absolutely recommend Natalie... Photographers would massively benefit from having someone so experienced create make-up for their work!

Such a genuine and lovely person!

Thanks again Natalie & I really hope to work with you again!
