I love working with Lilly. She just makes life easier for me and my clients always love her. This was the second shoot where she provided hair & makeup services, calming vibes, a second pair of eyes and helpful advice. As always an utter pleasure.

Booked Lilly to do make up for a zombie themed Halloween shoot. Did an amazing, realistic job and I can't recommend her highly enough. Many thanks

Third time working with Lilly, this time she went above and beyond for the shoot. We shot with Damian McGillicuddy for a workshop in Kelham Hall, Nottingham.

Lilly made 3 Marie Antoinette style dresses with caged petticoats beneath, the outfits colour coordinated with our makeup and shoes. The attention to detail in this shoot was incredible, down to even creating embroidery on the fronts of the dresses - tying all the colours of the 3 dresses together. Lilly also styled 3 incredible wigs and the end result of the shoot was fantastic.

She is an absolute professional to work with, juggling hair, make up and styling for 2 models and herself. I'll look forward to next time :)

I had my second shoot with Lily, during my test shoot with Damian McGillicuddy.

She created many different makeup styles over the shoot, effortlessly changing one look for another in minutes. She also created a variation of hair styles, long curls at the start and then fancy up-do’s later on.

Lily is a lovely person and a true professional, I’d definitely recommend working with her. I’ll look forward to the next time.

Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Lilly yesterday, who did me the honour of fighting her way through traffic, tunnels and bridges from another country no less! Pre-shoot comms were fantastic and Lilly is full of suggestions and ideas on how to improve things. Our models for the day involved 11 year old's through to nervous 50 year old's and Lilly put them all at ease with her calm and friendly manner. Not to mention great makeup and hair. Thoroughly recommended and I look forward to and hope to work with Lilly in the future.

I've known Lilly for quite a long time now and have worked with her on some commercial stuff and there is no argument she is one of the best make-up artists around. We have just worked together on a creative project for a change and she produced some amazing tribal style body art on the very beautiful model Natalie Jade Foster. The finished result was totally amazing, proving once again how skilled Lilly is. She is a very friendly and easy to get on with person and a serious good laugh, but is also highly professional in her approach to work. Absolutely brilliant and I will definitely be working more with her in the future - whether she likes it or not :) Totally recommended!

Yesterday Lily created beautiful tribal body paint and a full face of glam makeup on me, for a photoshoot with ExpressionBox at Pathway Studios. She is a true artist and I adore all the detail that went into the piece.

She is such a lovely lady and we chatted the whole way through, sharing a love of video games and herbal tea. It was a pleasure working with her and I'd happily to work together again in the future. 100% recommend hiring Lily as an MUA.

Lily is a fantastic makeup and hair artist. She did my makeup for a great shoot with Damian McGillicuddy and she styled me with an elegant ballet bun and then a creative beehive. Lily is lovely and so talented, I highly recommend her and look forwards to working with her again :)

I met Lilly for the first time on Saturday. She was really friendly and easy to talk to. Lilly did my hair and make up in rockabilly style to a high standard. I was very impressed - I looked and felt amazing afterwards! Would love to work with her again, thanks Lilly x

What can you say about this gal, that hasn't already been said ?

I have worked with Lilly so many times now both as Model and MUA, Lilly is amazingly creative, and produced some of her best work yet (IMHO) she also stepped in at the last minute (as she does) to fill a space for a late cancellation.

Highly Recommwended

WOW!!... just wow!! what an amazing talented woman!

I was asked to model on a group shoot held in Blackpool and was told there was an epic MUA on board, well they werent wrong! I am always a little sceptical of MUA's as the majority of the time i do my own make up have my own style but Lilly was phonominal ! She created to amazing looks, so good i even liked myself in the mirror hehe. I was astionished how she managed to create multiple looks on all the models throughout the day each being so very different and creative. I would absolute recommend her to anyone and really hope i have the pleasure of working with her again. Not only is she very talented but she is a beautiful person and so down to earth. I had a ball in her company, so many laughs and constant banter within the group. I had the best time in Blackpool with so many great peeps :-)

Book this lady!!

I had never had my makeup done by a makeup artist before and I was a little nervous however I should never have worried

Lily is extremely talented and creative and made me feel at ease from the get go.

I honestly cannot recommend more highly - also helps that she has the wickedest sense of humour and good taste in films ;)

I would work with Lily again in a heartbeat and thanks again for some truly beautiful make up

So much to say about this creative talented versatile MUA who works fast and well under pressure. Watching her working at a recent group shoot at FBW in Blackpool creating many different looks in short periods of time I cannot recommend her enough. Lilly is lovely company too. She makes you feel straight at ease and got a wicked sense of humor.

Thank you so much Lilly for my make up - loved it as you know and can't wait to work with you again. 😊

Lilly is a great person to be around good fun and easy going.

Thank you so much Lilly and hope to work together again really soon!

Lilly was the MUA at our Blackpool get together at FBW's place again this year, Fantastic Make up Artist, I am not a super articulate person (unless it ends in 'Off') but she seems to be able to interpret my fluent goggledygook very well. Easy to get along with and down to earth.

Cant really say much more about her .... the professionalism, punctuality and preparedness just doesn't need to be mentioned

Highly recommended

book her
