A friend and I had a brilliant lesson with Christiane, she was patient, thorough and listened to what we wanted to get from the session. Shes very knowledgeable and has a wide range of products to suggest and try on your skin. We had a really good time and I’d definitley recommend her.

Recently Had a lovely experience with Christiane. I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup yet was going to a black tie event so wanted something glam but still not too glam! Soft and subtle, and she delivered exactly that. I really appreciate Christiane listening to my needs and sharing her insightful expertise. I was over the moon with my makeup and would love to book in with Christiane again sometime. Highly recommend you visiting Christiane in her beautiful little studio for some fab and thoughtful makeup! Thank you lovely lady xx

Went for a beginners lesson in how to apply makeup. Christiane is friendly and straightforward in manner and was very clear when demonstrating, giving me plenty of time to try a replicate on one side of my face what she had done on the other. With easy to grasp explanations, guidance and encouragement, I now feel much more confident now to apply makeup on my own.

Wonderful experience getting my makeup done professionally with Christiane. She worked very quickly and effectively and I was delighted with the results for my 40th birthday party. Would definitely use Christiane again for a special occasion and would highly recommend. Thank you Christiane!

I’ve had my makeup done a few times with Christiane and she is amazing. Friendly and welcoming, she listens to your wants and needs and if she thinks something may be better she’ll guide you. She really does provide a 5* service and I highly recommend!

Christiane did an amazing job for our wedding! Was really responsive throughout the whole booking process and understood exactly what we wanted. Was really efficient on the day of the wedding and helped it all go smoothly. All of us felt amazing and make up stayed on perfectly all day. Couldn’t have been happier and would 100% recommend for anyone.

I recently had the pleasure of having Christiane do my makeup for my graduation, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results! She created a beautiful look that perfectly complemented my outfit and the special occasion. Not only was the makeup gorgeous and long-lasting, but Christiane was also incredibly friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. Her attention to detail and warm personality made me feel comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Christiane for any event where you want to look your best!

I had a lesson with Christiane, and she was very professional and knew exactly what she was talking about. I left with some good tips and advice. Was an enjoyable session.

I did the 1-1 makeup tutorial, as I wanted to go over basics such as contouring and applying foundation smoothly. Christiane was a super lovely person, who made me feel at ease straight away. She guided me through the steps and wrote down all of the products and brushes she used during the lesson. I would definitely recommend her to people who would like to feel more confident applying makeup and people who want to learn about the right products to use on their skin.

I had a makeup lesson booked with Christiane and I couldn’t recommend her enough! I felt so comfortable asking her questions and she gave so much advice about products and techniques. Christiane is so talented and I was very pleased with the result – the makeup lasted the whole day! Highly recommend Christiane whether it’s for a special event or a makeup lesson!

Christiane did my make-up for my wedding on July and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is very talented and I was so pleased with the result, which lasted all through the day and night! The trial was really useful and she offered sound advice to achieve the look I wanted. I’d definitely book Christiane again for any special occasion.

Christiane is an absolute professional from start to finish. I felt welcome from when I first arrived and was made to feel like I had direction in what I liked when it came to my make up style. Christiane worked fast and knew her stuff. If you are looking for a make up artist that can help with Proms, Pageants, a night out or just to make you feel special I highly recommend Christiane Dowling Make Up.

I had prom makeup booked with Christiane and she was outstanding. She listened to my preferences and made good recommendations from the trial and made sure that everything was perfect for my special day. I am very thankful as my makeup looked amazing all thanks to Christiane.

Christiane was absolutely wonderful with my daughter. She was able to help Chloe translate the looks she liked and made her feel like a princess for her Prom. Christiane is welcoming, friendly and very professional. I was really impressed with how quickly she got back to me or answered any questions I had. I can’t recommend her highly enough. We will definitely for back for future occasions!

Christiane was so friendly and listened to my preferences. I absolutely loved my makeup and it lasted me all day and night!

Well this seems to be becoming somewhat of a habit. This was my 6th visit to the studio of the lovely Christiane who as usual welcomed me in with a warm smile. She always does a stella job on my makeup and always gives me so much confidence to face the World as Regina but this time I feel that she totally surpassed all of her previous efforts. Nothing begins until she has asked what kind of look I am hoping to achieve, before she goes to work with her magical makeup brushes and sponges. We always have a lovely chat and we catch up on what has been going on in our lives. Anybody that is looking for a makeover, bridal makeup or makeup lesson I would say that you need look no further than this lovely young lady to help you achieve your dreams.

I booked a joint session with Christiane for myself and my mum as we both felt we weren’t using our make up properly and wanted some help. Our morning with Christiane was absolutely perfect, Mum and I absolutely loved it. Christane was so welcoming and professional and created a really relaxed yet informative environment for our session. It was a lovely morning for us to share and we left with plenty of advice, notes to refer back to and both feeling more confident for how to achieve make up looks we wanted. Thank you Christiane!

Had a 1-2-1 lesson with christiane and it was amazing! She was so friendly, did my makeup so beautifully, and I learnt so much! Couldn’t recommend more and would definitely go to her again.

I arranged an appointment with Christiane because, although I had grown older my make-up was the same as it had been when I was twenty!

I thought I knew a fair bit about make-up but after my appointment with Christiane I realised I had a huge amount to learn. Christiane was very knowledgeable and I learnt a great deal. I was very pleased with the finished result and delighted that she noted every product down so that I could re-create the look myself.

Christiane was patient and explained everything well during my lesson. I really enjoyed it! I also received a list of written instructions and product names so that I could recreate the look at home. Overall, an excellent Christmas present!

What an amazing morning we’ve had! A Christmas present for my girls of 11 and 12 years of age. Christiane was amazing at taking the girls through the steps of how to apply their makeup appropriate for their age. There was valuable info on products and what type of brush to use where. She gave them plenty of time to ask questions and have a go themselves. They both looked so beautiful by the end but more importantly they have learnt a great deal which they have already implemented. Thanks you so much for a lovely experience. Victoria

I spent a very enjoyable 1.5 hours with Christiane having a makeup lesson. She is very knowledgeable and has a very professional setup. She explains all of her tools and techniques and gives you a customised guide to take home with you. She follows up by emailing you professional photos of your “made-up” face as a reminder. I also came away with tips on how to resolve various issues which I had been having. I would highly recommend.

I absolutely cannot recommend Christiane enough. I bought a make-up lesson for my teenage daughter to help with her confidence. From my first message enquiring, Christiane was so helpful and knowledgeable; I asked a lot of questions and she really made me feel at ease. The experience itself was fantastic; my daughter loved it. Christiane asked my daughter what look she was trying to achieve and explained exactly what she was doing at each stage and what products she was using and why.
I am so delighted with how my daughters lesson went, I am going to book a lesson for myself soon.

A great experience, Christiane is very friendly and helpful and explains everything clearly. She demonstrates and lets you try how to apply the make up yourself. I was very pleased with the outcome and all the products were light and didn’t upset my skin.

Had a fantastic one on one lesson with her, she’s really nice, knowledgeable and professional. She answered all questions I had and even gave me some papers with all kinds of information on it to keep after the lesson, including brushes, makeup that she used and technique. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

I contacted Christiane after feeling pretty low about myself thanks to the menopause – and I’m really pleased I did. She’s absolutely lovely, super talented and knowledgeable. She took the time to listen and guide me as to what I should use and how. She took photos after the lesson and I was blown away by how good I looked and felt. Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Christiane highly enough. Not only is she incredibly skilled at what she does, she is a talented communicator and was also extremely patient with me as a complete novice. I really enjoyed my lesson with Christiane, she was great company, I had complete faith in her hygiene practices and I would not hesitate to contact her first for any future make-up needs. She also helped me with questions and products following the session and provided me with complete paperwork and recommendations. Look no further.

This was my fifth visit to the wonderful Christiane and once again from the outset she made me completely relaxed and welcomed into her lovely studio. She asked what look I wanted to go for and I was lucky to be able to show her pictures from previous visits which we used for reference. Although this wasn’t a lesson, she was more than happy to answer any questions that I asked about her techniques and procedures. I have said it in previous reviews but her wonderful work gives me so much confidence to be able to go out into the World as Regina. I feel that she is a real ally to the t-girl and trans community.

I was bowled over by Christiane’s beautification of my face, particularly the incredibly detailed way she does the lashes. She put me totally at ease as she is a lovely, friendly person. I was worried I talked too much, that it would put her off her stroke but you can tell she is used to that and just a total all-round professional. Thanks again Christiane!! Hayley x

Would definitely recommend the 1-2-1 make up lesson! She adapts her knowledge to your specific skin type/color but also what you like/dislike. Loads of tips I learned and includes a list of products she used on the day (+discounts on them!!) Money well spent!!

So glad I chose Christiane to do my wedding make up, she’s such a lovely person and really goes above and beyond to understand what you want, and also to help plan the preparations so they run as smoothly as possible. It felt like she really listened to and remembered what I wanted from the trial to the wedding day, my makeup was perfect for me and lasted all day! Thank you Christiane

I would highly recommend you use Christiane for your make up!! My wife and I got married this weekend and booked our trial and wedding day with Christiane, she was very professional and friendly and just understood exactly what we wanted for the day. The photos say it all!!

Had a 121 class with Christiane and I would say she is a very thorough and careful teacher. She gives you the option of trying half your face as she goes along or just watching, explains every product and method and you get a handy takeaway guide too. The finished look was very glowy and bright!

I had the pleasure of meeting Christiane on the morning of our wedding. She is incredibly talented, very kind and made me feel really beautiful on a very special day! I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you once again for everything, Christiane 🤍

My friend and I did a make up lesson with Christiane and I was so impressed by the whole experience. The lesson was at the perfect pace for us and Christiane made us feel so relaxed and engaged. The opportunity to do the make up ourselves under her guidance was really valuable along with the take-home notes sheet which I have had by my side when doing my make up every day since!
I also really appreciated the fact that Christiane recommended products to us but was very subjective and unbiased so we didn’t feel pressured to go away and buy those specific items.
My friend and I have different skin types and she tailored her recommendations to each of us rather than providing generic advice.
I would really recommend the lesson for anyone wanting some help with their make up skills!

Christiane did my wedding make up and I couldn’t have been happier with the results! She made sure I was happy each step of the way and I had so many compliments!! She also completed make up looks for my mum and bridesmaids and they looked so beautiful and were also so happy with their final make up looks.

I had my make up done with Christiane for my baby shower on Sunday! She was absolutely brilliant, understood the look I wanted to achieve and found colours that really complimented my skin tone! After 8 months of going make up free, Christiane made me feel beautiful for the first time in a long time. I cannot thank and recommend you enough!!

I recently had a make-up lesson with Christiane. This was a joint lesson with a friend. From beginning to end, the experience was excellent. We were well informed prior to the appointment and the lesson exceeded our expectations. Christiane is very knowledgeable in what she does and made the whole lesson very relaxed and tailored to what we wished to achieve. We came away with lots of tips and tricks to try ourselves at home and some great recommendations. Christiane also provided us with an instruction sheet which we added our own notes to during the session. I would be lost without it now! I have come away feeling much more confident in doing my make-up now and achieving different looks for day/evening. I would highly recommend. Thank you Christiane!!

Christiane did an AMAZING makeup job for Brighton Pride – her eyelashes and eye makeup were impeccable and beautiful! I got so much love and validation it was the best day of my life! Highly recommended!

I booked my daughter in for a private make-up tuition session as part of her 15th birthday present.

Christiane was welcoming, friendly and so attentive. She explained exactly what she was doing and kept asking my daughter if she was happy with the products and colours as she was progressing through the different stages of being made up.

Once the session was over, Christiane took some amazing photos with professional equipment, and gave my daughter a list of the products and colours she used, plus a comprehensive reminder list of what to do, and in which order to do it.

It really gave my daughter confidence to now experiment with make-up……and she has ordered almost everything that Christiane used!!

I am now going to book myself a session with Christiane so that she can help me with a new look, as I have been using the same products for many years.

Christiane has a beautiful salon stocked with every type and colour of make-up you could imagine, and her walls are packed full of professional awards that she has won.

I have no hesitation in recommending her. You won’t be disappointed.

A real pleasure meeting Christiane for a makeup lesson! She is very organised and knowledgeable and provided detailed information for me to follow up after the lesson as well. I learnt a lot and feel empowered to buy and use cosmetics in a much more informed and practical way. Highly recommended!

I booked to have my daughter’s make-up done by Christiane for Prom as I was really impressed with her portfolio, she was really professional, she listened to what my daughter wanted and delivered , my daughter was extremely happy and loved the way everything turned out and was also really happy with the service provided by Christiane – she is extremely talented and we would recommend her always.

The best make up artist I’ve ever found. Christiane listens to exactly what you are hoping for and delivers above and beyond. She’s a brilliant teacher too. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lasted all night!! Looked so stunning and such lovely company xx

I had my makeup done by Christiane earlier in the week for my prom and she was so friendly and her studio was stunning! I wasn’t initially sure what I wanted but she went with it and it turned out perfect and lasted all night even though it was done earlier in the day, highly recommend to anyone!!

I asked Christiane to do my makeup for an event and was delighted with the outcome! She listened and took on board the kind of looks that I liked and the result was better than I could have imagined. I learnt lots of great tips and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you’re not into very heavy makeup but want to feel your best, Christiane is definitely the artist for you! I couldn’t recommend her enough and wish I could look like I did when she did my makeup every day!

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beauty transformation to Christiane, and it was nothing short of magical! Her exceptional skills and attention to detail brought out the best in me. The studio was professional, and the customer service was impeccable. I highly recommend Christiane for an extraordinary experience that will leave you feeling like the most beautiful version of yourself!

Wonderful job on the makeup, my granddaughter loved it and looked amazing.

Christiane did my daughter’s Prom make up and we were so pleased with the result. She took the time to listen to us and when we asked for advice she gave us it brilliantly. She captured my daughter’s personality in her make up. She looked beautiful and got loads of compliments. Would totally recommend. Thank you!

Very professional and very prompt at replying. Lovely makeup. Would definitely book again!

Fab time at my two-hour makeup lesson with Christiane and I’m so pleased I found her. She was full of advice and tips on skincare for women over 50 as well as showing me how to apply foundation, bronzer, highlighter, eye makeup and false lashes. She was friendly and professional both before and during the session and sent some photos and extra info after. No hesitation in recommending her to anyone for any makeup needs and I’m aiming to go back for another lesson just on eye looks.

I have had my makeup done twice now with Christiane and absolutely love her work she is very talented and takes time to find out what sort of look you are after. I had so many compliments on my eye makeup the last time she did it for a festival. I highly recommend!

I booked to have my make up done by Christiane after being really impressed by pictures of her work. She was quick to respond and very kindly agreed to also lend me some straighteners when I emergency messaged the night before my event – very kind! I don’t like wearing heavy makeup and was a bit worried about it being too much, but Christiane checked in regularly to make sure I was happy and I was very pleased with the end result. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup and am so glad I had it done by Christiane – would definitely recommend!

I had a two hour lesson with Christiane and really enjoyed it. Christiane was patient and very gentle with my eyes which was important as I have dry eye syndrome and they are very sensitive.
I felt that I learned a lot and have bought many of the products she used so that I can practise. Christiane has also said that she would be happy to answer any further questions I may have. I would highly recommend this professional, experienced make up artist.

Beautiful makeup that emphasized my beauty. Full professionalism and commitment. I heartily recommend!

We had a lovely time with Christiane on a 1:2:1 make lesson. It was for my daughters 15 birthday. Christiane was very friendly and informative. She has given us key skills and techniques that can be used for a number of different makeup looks as well as useful advice about products. Well worth it.

I loved my make up session with Christiane. I learnt so much about what colours I should use, and how to apply the make up correctly. She did one side of my face, then I did the other, which helped me to remember the techniques when I got home. She’s also really lovely, and made me feel really at ease throughout the session.

I had a private lesson with Christiane where she taught me specific make up techniques and overall tips and tricks. Not only was she patient and enthusiastic to answer all of my seemingly endless questions, but following her steps to apply my own make up with her was hugely helpful. Would definitely recommend!

I had my make up done for the first time in 12 years by Christiane and I can’t recommend her enough! She listened to exactly what I wanted, kept me informed of what she was doing/checked what products I wanted her to use, and the end results were amazing. I felt great and got so many compliments throughout the night. Will 100% use Christiane again for special occasions, great experience.

As I am nearing 50, perimenopausal and feeling a bit washed up working as a nurse, I thought I needed a bit of direction to brighten myself up! Christiane is a wonderful teacher. She showed me a step by step process to apply make up and noted all the products, tools and instructions for me to take away. We chose neutral colours so that i could apply the principals to other colours at home. She gave me a lovely discount for being in the NHS too. Thank you so much for a confidence boosting few hours! Well worth the money.

I found Christiane on a Google search and was impressed with her credentials and all the fantastic reviews. I contacted Christiane and she swiftly booked me in for a private make up lesson. The experience was so much more than I expected! Christiane was absolutely lovely, very professional, really listened to my requirements and she achieved exactly what I wanted. Her make up studio was a make up lovers dream! As a result I trusted her excellent advice and bought the recommended make up and am using her well explained techniques. I’m planning my next session to elaborate on what I’ve already learned and create a more dramatic look. I cannot recommend Christiane enough and I’m so pleased to have her in my make up life!

My friend (we have been friends fifty years) and I wanted to do something a little different and found Christiane on line. From the first contact the communication was professional , helpful and timely. On the day of our session we were welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The makeup session was completed with information and advice all the way through. Questions were answered happily and everything was written down to take away. Christiane is very talented and knowledgeable. We felt completely at ease and the end result was lovely. We had learnt a lot and revamped our look which is exactly what we had hoped for.

Once again my first port of call before going out to an event in Milton Keynes was the lovely Christiane. She goes above and beyond with her professionalism and puts me at ease as soon as I walk through the door. She always works her magic on me with such little effort and is quite happy to answer any questions that I have for her along the way. I always leave her studio with so much confidence to go out and show the World her wonderful makeover skills.

Christiane is a very talented make up artist, makeup lasted perfectly for the rest of the day! 100% would recommend!!!

I had a makeup lesson with Christiane which I thoroughly enjoyed. She was very patient, thorough and encouraging throughout and I was delighted with the finished natural look. I think it is good that Christiane is independent and not affiliated to one brand of cosmetics as it means that she recommends products that suit you. She provided detailed notes and instructions to help me replicate the look at home which I am determined to try. I feel very inspired and I would definitely recommend Christiane Dowling makeup artistry.

Could not recommend Christiane enough, professional from start to finish. Christiane made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I had never had my make up done before so having Christiane do my wedding make up was very special. Very talented and the most amazing results. Thank-you so much for making me feel amazing on such a special day cannot wait to use Christiane again such a lovely talented women xxxx

Thank you so much Christiane for a wonderful 1-2-1 makeup lesson! I was completely clueless before coming to see her. She was so patient with all my questions and really took the time to take things back to basics for me! It’s really given me the biggest confidence boost. I would highly recommend!

I was given a make-up lesson as a gift from my family, mainly organised by my daughter who had taken on board my grumbles about doing the same make-up for the last goodness knows how many years! I loved the session with Christiane. She is really kind and patient and the format of the lesson was great. She wrote everything down as we went through the lesson and I was really delighted with the result. I’m not great at buying make-up or updating the products I use, so this was a brilliant way of getting all the info and help I needed to move my “look” on. I would thoroughly recommend Christiane, it was a really lovely way to spend a couple of hours on yourself…. I have already given out several of her business cards to interested parties, including my make-up mad daughter!

I went to Christiane for my first make up lesson. I was a bit nervous but I needn’t have worried, Christiane immediately made me feel welcome and relaxed. Once Christiane started the lesson, she took the time to explain to me what, why and how she was applying the make-up in detail and what products and brushes she was using. After each phase she paused and asked me if I had any questions and was more than happy to explain things again. At the end of the lesson I was bowled over by the look she had created, feeling and looking fantastic.
An absolutely fabulous day, I would not hesitate to go back and have another make over and would highly recommend Christiane to anyone who is thinking of having, either a lesson or just a makeover.

I had a private makeup lesson voucher given to me for a present and was so excited to meet Christiane. From my initial contact with her, she was responsive, professional, hygienic, patient and took time to explain the different techniques, options and made really valuable recommendations to me about what would complement my face and colouring. I left feeling glamorous, and ready to buy a whole bunch of new make-up that I desperately need now I know what to do. I am 45 and feel confident on how to do a smokey eye and subtly make my eyes ‘pop’ without looking like I have much on at all. I would highly recommend Christiane and look forward to watching her continue to grow her business.

I was bought a make-up lesson and makeover with Christiane for my birthday but as an older transwoman who has just started out on her journey, I was a bit worried and apprehensive about how I would be received. I needn’t have worried. From the minute Christiane opened the door to me she made me feel welcome and relaxed. Once Christiane started the lesson, she took the time to explain to me what, why and how she was applying the make-up in detail and what products and brushes she was using. After each phase she paused and asked me if I had any questions and was more than happy to explain things again. There was no rushing on Christiane’s behalf. At the end of my lesson, feeling and looking the best I ever had, I had a mini photo shoot, and the pictures were forwarded on to me.
An absolutely fabulous day, I would not hesitate to go back and have another make over and would highly recommend Christiane to anyone who is thinking of having, either a lesson or just a makeover.

Thank you Christiane for my immaculate wedding makeup. From start to finish, Christiane’s knowledge and experience shone through, resulting in my make being absolutely flawless on my special day. I highly recommend Christiane and would not hesitate in using her again if I need occasion make up. Lots of Love, Mrs Walker x

Christiane did my makeup for my graduation and she did a phenomenal job! She is extremely professional, kind, knowledgeable and listened to everything I wanted! My makeup and skin looked flawless, and I got several compliments. I did not want to wash my makeup off. I will definitely go back again. Anyone who hires her will be in good hands! Thank you Christiane for making me feel glamorous x

Christiane was a fountain of knowledge and created a bespoke session that taught us how to apply make-up for different effects. It was highly engaging, informative and of course, the make-up expertly placed. I came away with new ideas about colours, and application that even with my extensive knowledge, I was surprised about. Christiane is also a wonderfully engaging and patient person who made the session easy to follow. I never felt rushed or hurried and all my questions were answered. Thank you so much!

This lady is incredible! My make-up was perfect and lasted all night long with no issues at all, will be definitely  using her again 💕

Christiane recently applied my make up for my first fitness competition. She was thoroughly professional and calmed my nerves. She has a wide range of qualifications and is extremely knowledgeable in her craft. I’m so glad I found Christiane to do my make up. She is by far the best make up artist I’ve ever had. Thank you for being part of my very special day!

I recently attended a 1-2-1 make-up lesson with Christiane and was thoroughly delighted with the experience. I have never been particularly confident with applying make-up and had lost a lot of confidence with this after being unwell for a number of years and wanted Christiane’s help as I will be attending a wedding in October. Christiane put me at ease instantly and was extremely knowledgeable. She was patient with me and we discussed different options on what would suit me and the best way to apply the different products. I was really pleased to leave the session with a list of products I knew we had tried and worked for me, so I could buy them and apply them with confidence. I would definitely recommend Christiane if you need some help and guidance with choosing the right make-up for you and learning how to apply it properly.

I had the most fabulous time with Christiane. She was very thorough, took things at my pace and I learned so much. I feel much more confident in doing my own make up and I really loved the look she did. I got so many compliments!

She really listened to everything I wanted out of the look (everyday/natural, quick and easy) and even went out of her way to accommodate and create a look with my medical condition where I cannot wear much eye make up. She is such a lovely, warm, and knowledgeable person, and provided instructions, a list of products, and photos so that I can create the look again at home without having to remember every detail.

It’s the first time I’ve had my make up done and really liked it and felt confident, so thank you so much Christiane. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Can highly recommend Christiane.. she offers an excellent, personal service.. constantly checking you are happy with your make up along the way. We loved our looks and thoroughly enjoyed our day! Thank you so much Christiane.. we will be back! xx

Christiane is a real artist. The photos of her work speak for themselves. As someone that doesn’t wear hardly any makeup, she really listened to what I wanted and the results were great!

I’ve been to Christiane twice now and each time I’ve loved the experience of getting my make up done professionally. She is so friendly and talented! First time was for prom and had so mainly compliments on my make up and it lasted (and most importantly stayed perfect) all day.

Christiane did my daughter prom make up. I liked how she made my daughter feel at ease during both the trial and the actual make up. My daughter looked so beautiful on her prom night. It make me want to book Christiane for a make-up lesson. Christiane listened to what I wanted, guided me through all the steps and let me have a go whenever I wanted. There are no worries of forgetting anything after the lessons: her steps by steps are very detailed and she is always available whenever you need help.

We had a fabulous session with Christiane, she was patient with all of our questions, really understood and explained what would work best for different features and skin tones and most importantly the resulting made up look was flawless. Excellent prep for our business headshot photoshoot later that day and it was a very reluctant wash off that evening. Would not hesitate to recommend and we will happily use her services again when the occasion arises.

My daughter and I had a very professional, informative and relaxed 3 hour make up lesson with Christiane. She is a very considerate and thoughtful lady who gave us lots of helpful advice. We both came away from the session feeling and looking great! All the best with your business going forward Christiane! Warm regards, Mandy and Lucy xx.

Struggling to find the words to express just how amazing Christiane is! She did the bridal makeup for myself, bridesmaids and mum at my wedding and I cannot recommend her enough! Right from day dot, communication with Christiane was fantastic. The makeup trial was just brilliant and she exceeded the image of what I had in my head. She knew exactly what would suit me and what would not and was just a joy to be around. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist to spend the morning of my wedding with. She was so lovely and calming – especially with all the pre-wedding jitters flying around! The makeup itself was stunning and so professionally done. I just wish Christiane could do my makeup every day! The wedding day itself was really hot and even with the heat and all the dancing, my makeup did not budge! I didn’t even need to blot/re-touch with powder. She is an absolute makeup wizard! The amount of compliments I got on the day (as did my mum and bridesmaids) was incredible! People have still been messaging me about my makeup and I owe it all to Christiane. If I could offer one piece of advice to all brides to be, it would be to BOOK CHRISTIANE!! She is just amazing. You really will not regret it!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 hour makeup lesson with Christiane last Wednesday. She is very knowledgeable and explained everything and listened to exactly what I wanted. Would definitely recommend.

Christiane you done my evening look and I really loved it! Make up remain till the end of the evening which was really amazing, I loved to see you again and I will definitely love to recommend you to my friends and family. 🥰

I would have no hesitation in recommending Christiane. I wanted a 1 to 1 makeup lesson to understand how to make the most of my looks as I get older. I asked Christiane about quick and simple makeup for an everyday look that I could make more impactful for a night out when I had more time, Christiane was lovely. She had clearly listened to what I had asked for. Taking me through the night time look but explaining how I could simplify it for day to day. Patiently taking me through each step and giving me the chance to have a go myself with her supervision, if and when I wanted to. She explained everything brilliantly and happily answered all my questions. Afterwards she gave me step by step instructions and a list of the products she had used. Since my lesson I have bought some of these products and started following her advice and will continue to do so. Thank you Christiane for a fun and informative experience.

I took my girlfriend to see Christiane before a date night and the whole experience started the night off the perfect way.
It allowed her to chill out and relax while Christiane glammed her all up. My girlfriend loved what she did and so did I.
Would recommend.

So so happy to have chosen Christiane for my event. She did my makeup flawlessly exceeding any expectations. I can be indecisive and indeed came in unsure of what colors or look to go for, after looking at my skin type and asking a few questions she suggested a few options and really worked with me to create the perfect look. I will say I can be stubborn lol in the way I usually do my eyeliner for eg (i.e. years of used to seeing my face look a certain way) Christiane was so professional and great in this way as she explained why she thinks it’d compliment me more to wear it differently.. I’m so happy she stuck to her experience and knowledge and didn’t ‘give in’ to my stubbornness 🤣 because looking at photos she was absolutely right. Other than that Christiane is just a really lovely person. Compliments you on little things that you may be insecure about and I left her feeling so much better about myself. She was available after as well to share some of the names of products she used on me. Don’t hesitate you cannot possibly go wrong Christiane is amazing 🤩

Christiane did the make up for my bodybuilding competition. I can honestly say that she nailed it! It was expertly done, stayed impeccable for over 14+ hours, looked incredible on stage and photos, and nobody else’s make up came even close to the detail and pop effect that she gave me. Christiane was very sweet, easy to work with, patient, and reliable. I would hands down recommend her for any make up job.

Christiane did the make up for myself, my cousin and my sister for her wedding – she was AMAZING. Christiane was very professional and hygienic when working, was also extremely time efficient. I really appreciated her precision and check-ins to make sure we were as comfortable and happy as possible. Wonderful range of products/tools – really listened & understood our needs. 10/10!!

I am 50+ and wanted a makeup lesson to update my look and get non-biased advice about beauty products. Christiane was great, really open and patient, answering my many questions and working through a look that I will be able to replicate at home. I came home with a summary of the products used (but no pushy sale) and step by step instructions so it’s not all forgotten! I would definitely recommend Christiane and my makeup really lasted too!

I previously had a private lesson which was brilliant and recently went back for prom makeup. Couldn’t recommend Christiane enough ! Wide and high quality range of makeup fit for everyone and their preferences and the compliments after are endless !!

Booked a make up session for my daughters prom. My daughter never wears make up and has blemish prone skin. Christiane worked with her to provide the look she wanted, making my daughter feel at ease with everything. We booked a trial session first which worked out really well. Christiane gave her the perfect look and my daughter was really pleased. On Prom day Christiane had everything set up and after checking everything with my daughter completed the beautiful look again. The make up lasted all night, just a top up of lipstick was needed. Would highly recommend Christiane to anyone considering booking a session.

I contacted Christiane for my daughters Prom makeup & right from the beginning there was regular contact and lots of opportunities to discuss the style & look my daughter wanted, she was friendly, approachable & helpful and made my daughter feel comfortable. She made lots of suggestions and took my daughters ideas on board and was happy to make changes to ensure my daughter was happy and not to mention look absolutely stunning 😊 Thank you so much

Christiane did a make up for my daughter’s prom. She was very professional and my daughter was over the moon with results. I would highly recommend her! Planning to have a make up lesson myself. Communication was great and I know where to go if I need a special make up 😊 Thank you so much for making my daughter feel very special and beautiful on her prom!

Christiane recently did my makeup for prom and it was absolutely stunning. She was lovely, friendly and professional and is an incredibly talented makeup artist. I cant thank her enough x

I can’t recommend Christiane enough! She did an amazing job on my make up for a wedding I attended. Had so many compliments on the day. If your looking for your make up to be done for an event, Christiane is the one. Thanks again.

Christiane has been doing my makeup for 5 years now and it was so lovely to have her do mine and my bridal parties makeup too. Christiane is very experienced and knows exactly the look I like to go for. She is personable, professional and an all round superstar. We all loved our makeup on the wedding day and it lasted all day and night! I cannot thank you enough. Xx

I had makeup done by Christiane for an event twice and I have to say I absolutely loved the looks both times. She is so good and professional. Would highly recommend to choose.

From start to finish Christiane was amazing! My bridesmaids and I felt amazing and all loved our make up!
Christiane was so friendly, professional and listened to what we wanted.
Highly recommend! Thank you so much!

What can I say? From the moment I arrived for my one to one make up lesson this lovely young lady made me feel very welcome, put me at ease, and worked with me every step of the way throughout my lesson giving me a softer more natural and more modern look. She is meticulous, knowledgeable and instills confidence in the application of make up products and I left with an abundance of useful information and a spring in my step. Treat yourself – it’s a wonderful experience, 2hrs flew by and I will definitely be using and recommending Christiane’s services again.

I can’t praise Christiane enough, this young lady is amazing. I received fantastic help and advice having never used make up before and did not know where to begin. Christiane provides a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere . I could not have been happier with the end result, Christiane will transform you no matter who you are. I would highly recommend Christiane and you won’t get a nicer person, better treatment or service anywhere else.

I had a 1-2-1 makeup tutorial about a month ago and it was excellent. A real game changer as not only did I learn application techniques, but was able to try a variety of quality products to find ones that suited me. Since then I’ve made make up purchases that are used regularly (and correctly!) instead of being consigned to the bottom of the drawer. Christiane is an fantastic teacher and I would thoroughly recommend her.

I recently had my make up done for a wedding by Christiane. She was so lovely from the minute I walked through the door and the final finish was fabulous with many compliments at the wedding. I would definitely recommend and will use her services again xx

I booked a make up lesson with Christiane for my 16 year old daughter and I. Christiane took time to explain all the different stages of make up application to us as well as showing us different brushes and products to use. We definitely both learnt a lot and Christiane helped to transform us with a final look we were both very happy with. After the appointment Christiane followed up and provided me with further info about products as well as some photos. She also let me know that I could contact her at anytime if I had any questions which I thought was excellent service. Christiane is clearly a very talented and highly professional individual. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile experience , I only wish I’d done it years ago, if you are considering booking with Christiane just do it!

This is the 3rd time I have been to Christiane to have my makeup applied before going out to an event. I always make sure that she is available to do my makeup before booking anything else as her magic results always give me so much confidence to go out and face the outside World as Regina.
As usual she was very informative and asked what look I would like to go for before proceeding with the makeover. I hope that you will agree that the finished look is totally beautiful and once again sent me away with a massive smile on my face.
Thank you once again Christiane for giving me a perfect start to my day.

My friend and I had a joint make up lesson with Christiane. What a lovely lady, so professional, friendly and welcoming. We learnt so much, she explained everything she was doing, and our make up looked amazing. We were able to take notes (one had make up done whilst the other took some notes) on the handout sheet and write down all of the products Christiane used. I would highly recommend Christiane, we thoroughly enjoyed our make up lesson

I attended a 1-2-1 makeup lesson. Christiane was helpful and taught me step by step how to do my makeup. She was very lovely and explained things in detail. I highly recommend!

Absolutely loved the lesson with Christiane. Got some great tips and she made it really fun to practice the different steps together.

Hi Christiane
I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoyed my makeup lesson with you the other day, I learned so much from you and all the information you gave me both during and at the end will be a huge help 😊. What I found most beneficial yesterday was how well you explained everything and not just the how’s but the why’s, the what to avoid’s and of course the brushes. The photos you sent are all great and will all be a very useful reference as I begin to improve my makeup skills. I promise I will practice, practice, practice 😄

I thoroughly enjoyed the make up lesson with Christiane she make me feel very comfortable and relaxed.
I could tell she was very experienced and explained every detail. I could see she was matching the colours to my skin tone and hair colour and would definitely recommend her to a friend.
She made me feel more confident in trying out the new skills she had taught me. Also she encouraged me to ask any questions I might have.
I was very pleased with the make up artist I had chosen.

Had a 2:1 make up lesson with my daughter. Christiane was fantastic, she explained everything very clearly and the handout notes she gave us will be very useful. Would highly recommend Christiane!

Turning 50 this year I was conscious that my face is changing, and that I’ve no idea how to properly apply make-up, let alone in a modern style or what all the new products such as primers, contours and highlighters were for! I’ve simply defaulted to doing what I’ve always done with the same products. With milestone celebrations coming up I decided to book myself a makeup lesson so I could freshen up my look and feel more confident.
I thoroughly enjoyed my private make-up lesson with Christiane in her lovely studio and learnt so much. She calmly and patiently explained all the different products and brushes and taught me so many techniques, tricks and tips to enhance my skin and features.
As a result, I feel significantly more confident applying make-up, using the right products and far happier with the results! I actually now enjoy spending time putting my makeup on, rather than considering it something to quickly slap on!
I would absolutely recommend investing some time in learning make up techniques with Christiane. And it was a lovely “bit of me time” treat!

Christiane was so welcoming, kind and made me feel super comfortable from the minute I walked in the door. I absolutely loved the overall look and her attention to detail was second to none. I would highly recommend Christiane to anyone

I had a make up lesson with Christiane. She was very friendly, welcoming and professional. She did a fantastic job and I was delighted with the results. I would highly recommend Christiane to anyone needing advice about their make up!

Christiane had done my makeup for a few special occasions now & Ive always been so happy with the results. She’s so talented & made me feel so comfortable during my appointments.

Christiane is a make up magician! I went to see her recently for a 1-2-1 make up tutorial as I was fed up of my current and all time look and wanted to learn some new tips and tricks to enhance my make up look. Christiane listened to my areas of concern and we really focused on that. We decided that Christiane would work step by step on each section of my face and that I would then follow her lead and practice each part myself on the other side of my face. Far better than just listening and then practicing for the first time at home! Christiane is very professional and really knows her areas of expertise well. I came away with a wonderful list of products used so I could treat myself to a few new bits and also make use of my current make up bag. Her make up room is any girls dream! I would highly recommend Christiane and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

I had a two hour makeup lesson with Christiane. I was amazed with the result especially being the age of 60!Step by step instructions were very easy to follow. I would totally recommend this lovely lady. All products used were listed if I wish to use them, which I will to get the lovely finish. Thank you from a very happy client

Christiane performs magic with her make up brushes! Christiane did my make up for my wedding, but also for my mother and two sisters. We all loved our make up and had so many compliments on the day. All different, but suited us perfectly. I wish my face could always look like it did that day! Super professional and flawless makeup!

I had a 2 hour makeup lesson with Christiane and it was brilliant! I’m non-binary AFAB and I thought that if I ever went for a makeup lesson I would have to not mention that for simplicity’s sake to avoid any trouble, but I was worried about feeling dysphoric too. Then I saw on Christiane’s reviews that she’d worked with some trans clients before and I felt able to tell her openly about my gender identity and explain why I wanted a lesson. Christiane was completely accepting in a lowkey, totally professional way and it really meant a lot to me to be able to explore makeup again in an environment that felt so safe and chill. I loved the way she asked throughout the lesson what I was looking for and really tailored everything to my taste while sharing all her expertise. All of Christiane’s tips and pointers were really clear and so helpful. I felt so much more confident by the end of the lesson and excited to recreate the look for myself at home, as well as much more relaxed about a wedding I have coming up where I’ll be wearing makeup. It was really fun, really good experience!!

I had a 2 hour make up lesson with Christiane. Lovely clean studio, Covid guidelines followed making it very comfortable. Christiane took the time to understand what I wanted to get from the lesson and explained everything brilliantly. I was able to practice what was being shown. Fabulous range of make up and notes to take away. I learned a lot and have been putting it into practice. Would not hesitate to recommend Christiane for lessons or make up for a special occasion.

I would whole-heartedly recommend Christiane Dowling Makeup Artistry. Christiane did my makeup for a recent special event and I could not have been more pleased with the end results. We started with a trial before the big day and Christiane patiently created a look I was happy with. On the day itself she was very happy to accommodate my appointment at 5.50am!! Christiane is a highly talented artist. As a “woman of a certain age” I was resigned to looking my usual middle-aged self on the big day but Christiane certainly made me look and feel very special. Nothing short of a miracle really! I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to everyone.

I have really enjoyed my makeup lesson with Christiane. She was really helpful, professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. I learnt loads of tips and tricks for a daily and also an evening makeup. The outcome was truly amazing. Thanks a lot Christiane for your after makeup notes. Really helpful. I will definitely recommend Christiane’s make up lessons and I will definitely book another one soon. Thank you, Christiane!

I had a make-up tutorial with Christiane and it was superb! I learnt so much from my lesson, how to apply my make up correctly and different techniques that I now use on my every day make-up routine. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Five stars from me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my makeup lesson with Christiane. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable, she taught me how to use products I was a little wary of using before. She listened to any questions I had and gave me some useful tips. I feel more confident about using make up now. Christiane did an amazing job, and I was extremely pleased with the result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Christiane was fantastic. Really lovely and very professional and helpful. Definitely learnt a lot and will be practicing my new makeup skills this weekend! Would recommend her for make up lessons and professional makeup make overs.

Myself and my wife used Christiane for our wedding make up. For 2 ladies that hardly wear make up she made us look absolutely beautiful, whilst keeping everything natural. She took us through each step explaining the colours and textures to us to see what works best with our individual skin types. Christiane is an absolute wonder and I would recommend her to everyone for any occasion. 5 STARS and more!

I had a fantastic make up lesson last week. Christiane was really professional and the studio was exceptionally clean. She made me feel at ease, was friendly and very knowledgeable. She took time to explain what she was doing and gave me the opportunity to have a go myself. I felt like I took in a lot and she sent me home with notes covering all that we went through in the lesson. She also took photos at the end which she sent the next day. Highly recommend for a lesson and if I ever need my make up done for an occasion I will definitely be paying her a visit. Thanks so much Christiane.

Christiane was just amazing! The tutorial was just what I needed, different ways to apply make-up and get the most fabulous looks, Christiane took her time in showing me how to do everything. I would totally recommend her, such a lovely lady, and I loved the finish result very glam!!

Christiane, was totally amazing and so professional from start to finish,

She have such a nice approachable nature and I felt I could ask any questions without feeling silly!

Her tutorial was really helpful and made me feel amazing when I looked at the finish result – I would highly recommend this lovely lady 😁

Christiane recently did mine and 2 bridesmaids makeup for my wedding. She not only listened to us and made us look how we wanted, but also had suggestions about how to achieve our desired looks! Christiane was friendly and chatty throughout, making it a relaxed atmosphere for us nervous girls. Christiane also worked so hard that we were ready early, which was amazingly helpful on a wedding day! Her communication was excellent throughout, she responded to emails and messages quickly, and even reassured a stressed out bride that all would be fine, which of course she was right about. If you need a MUA for your wedding, or any special event, I absolutely recommend Christiane. Thank you so much for everything!

Christiane was very professional and she is amazing at what she does! I loved the look that she created for me. Also, her studio is very clean and very covid safe. ☺️ Would definitely recommend her!

Christiane did my make up for my sisters wedding, I was a bridesmaid. She did a great job, we all looked lovely and we couldn’t get over how great she was! She is so friendly and asks you what colours you wear, what kind of look you want and she makes you feel so comfortable! Everyone complimented all of us how on lovely we looked! I would definitely recommend Christiane! 😊

I had the best time having my makeup done for my brother’s wedding by Christiane. Being quite a newbie to having my makeup done professionally, Christiane put me at ease from the start. She was lovely and kind and did such an amazing job! Super professional, calm and I definitely want to go back to her to do it all over again! Thank you for creating such a perfect look and for helping me through this new process.

I highly recommend this lovely lady, I was so in love with my make up. Amazing work and amazing service, would definitely get my make up done again.

Christiane was very professional and approachable. The lesson was built around what I wanted to achieve and she was very supportive when teaching me to apply make up. She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer any question I asked. I would definitely recommend Christiane if you are looking for a MUA who is talented and experienced.

Christiane was wonderful! I spent a fascinating two hours and learnt loads. She’s very professional and very thorough and if I picked up just a few tips it was more than worth it!

Christiane has done a fantastic job with my bridal makeup. I loved it! She is very professional and organised. She has been super responsive to all my queries and very attentive throughout.
I cannot recommend her more!

Thank you again Christiane! 🙂

Being new makeup I needed to gain some confidence and understanding as there is so much product and confusion of what’s good for you. Being a non-binary man this makes it even harder to work through. Christiane is non prejudice and made me feel completely welcome talking me through every step of my lesson. By the end what nerves where there at the start was a thing of the past and the result were utterly amazing.. I’m fact I’ve never looked so good or felt so confident going into the outside world made up. Christiane has done so much to break down gender barriers so everyone can experience looking good. I’ve now got a product list, knowledge of how to apply it correctly and so much confidence – thank you

Christiane did my daughters prom make up and trial and created a stunning look perfect for the occasion, taking on board all of my daughters requests regards the look. She is a very kind, professional lady who saved the day for us when we were rushing about stressed trying to fit everything in – she was a calming influence and got us back on track with our timings. Thank you Christiane! Will definitely use her services again.

Christiane done my bridal make up in June for myself, my mum and my bridesmaids and we all could not have felt more amazing! I really could not have been happier with my bridal make up, I loved it and my bridesmaids and my mum loved their looks too.

Christiane was so professional, friendly and helpful with my whole booking and always responded fast to any messages. I had a bridal trial which was great to talk through everything with her before the big day.

On the day Christiane was amazing, she even made my two nieces feel special by putting a bit of make up on them too, which they loved!
I couldn’t recommend her enough, she is so talented. I have never felt so pretty, thanks again ☺️

Super professional and amazing outcome!! I had my prom makeup done and it was completely perfect!!

Christiane did the make up for myself, my mother and 3 bridesmaids on the day of my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. Everyone was over the moon with their make up and our guests were full of compliments about it on the day. Christiane is so friendly and made everyone feel so comfortable, creating the natural looks we asked for. I feel very lucky to have had Christiane be such a big part of our wedding day and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future.

Christiane is incredible. As a genderfluid person getting to grips with makeup there were a number of issues I faced, and she helped me to understand how to overcome them all while teaching me how to apply makeup and to maintain it throughout the day. She gave me guidance on what colours and styles would work best with my hair and features, how I could vary certain parts for different looks. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and safe, and made me beautiful by the end of the lesson. The photos she sent me of the end look are reminders of a wonderful day that I’ll treasure.

I had an invite to attend the Brighton races ladies day festival and knew that my first port of call was to make an appointment with Christiane. I have used her makeup services in the past and knew that she would make me look as good as she possibly could. As always she put me totally at ease and welcomed me with her lovely smile. She waved her makeup utensils over my face (or magic wands as I like to call them) and managed to transform this dull and boring person into a beautiful and glamorous lady that was ready to hit the racetrack. She wanted to see my outfit first so she could match the makeup to it and I think she did a marvellous job. I had loads of really positive comments all day and I will be sure to use Christianes services whenever I have an important event to attend in the future.

I found Christiane on google at the start of last year as I was looking to have my makeup done for a friends wedding and loved her look and luckily she had space 😍 I’ve had my make up done and I could of not asked for a better make up artist! Christiane kept me updated with everything she was doing to ensure I liked the look I was aiming for!✨ I got so many compliments on the day about the way my make up looked and it was perfect and everything I wanted ☺️ Thankyou! ✨ I highly recommend Christiane to anyone in the area 💚

I had a one on one master class with Christiane a couple of evenings ago and it was amazing. She is very warm and puts you at ease instantly. She really knows what she’s talking about and goes through everything she is doing in great detail and explains it all. I ended up looking amazing and that was solely due to her skills and experience. The fact she takes photos and sends them to you, as well as giving you a handout with all the products she used and an amazing step by step guide to how to get this look again was a massive bonus! I would highly recommend. Lovely lady!

Christiane was my makeup artist for my wedding and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service from the moment I got in touch till my wedding day. It was incredibly easy to book her in and get all the information, she made sure I was aware of her prices and what she could do, my wedding was postponed from 2020 and she was absolutely amazing with working with me to rebook for 2021 and keeping in touch so I didn’t have to worry, it honestly meant so much how thoughtful she was. The best part was how perfect she was on the day, she arrived exactly on time, set up and finished my bridesmaids and myself in such good time so we had no stress and even put a little makeup on my daughter with no charge so that she could feel like one of the girls, the makeup itself wow! I have never felt more beautiful and my new husband also agreed so thank you so so much! I would recommend to anyone, anytime !!!

I highly recommend Christiane Dowling. Her work is amazing! She is immensely talented and gave results above and beyond my expectations. I was so pleased with my makeup and happy I found her services. I can’t wait for the next occasion to book with her. She’s so professional, friendly and is pure magic 🌟✨

Christiane did mine and 3 of my bridesmaids make up for my wedding and I could not have asked for someone better. From when I first contacted Christiane she was super quick to respond, very helpful and professional. She is such a talented make up artist, I was very nervous about trusting someone to do my make up as I am quite picky … but Christiane completely understood the look I wanted and did an absolutely incredible job – I loved it so much!! I cannot recommend Christiane enough – she has great products and is such a lovely girl to have with you the morning of your wedding. I will definitely be using Christiane for all my make up needs in the future. Thanks again Christiane x

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Christiane for being so accommodating, when a week before my daughters prom we were let down by another make up artist. What seemed like a nightmare at the time, actually worked in our favor as Christiane did an amazing job of understanding what my daughter wanted, advising her on options and the finished look was just stunning. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I cannot recommend Christiane highly enough. Both my daughters have had 1-2-1 make up lessons with Christiane and enjoyed every minute. She is so patient and creates a relaxing environment, enabling both girls to learn so much. My younger daughter’s session was today and she was over the moon with her final look! I love the way Christiane gives you detailed notes at the end to remind you how to recreate the look at home.

Christiane did my makeup for prom this July and I looked amazing! In regards to contacting her through email she was very quick at responding and was extremely accommodating for when I had to change my date due to Covid. I would be more than happy to use her again!

Christiane Dowling

I was lucky enough to have Christiane do my bridal makeup as well as my two bridesmaids and I can honestly say, I have never felt prettier!She did an amazing job and really took the time to make sure I was happy with every stage of my makeover. Not only is she professional and talented but also kind and thoughtful. She made the wedding morning feel so calm and exciting and I had total faith that she would do a fantastic job. Both my bridesmaids looked gorgeous and we all loved having our makeup done by her. Thank you so much again Christiane, I can’t sing your praises enough!

Christiane is an amazing, creative and lovely makeup artist. She did my daughters prom make-up and she looked absolutely stunning! Christiane is very sweet and doesn’t rush you at all. She helped my daughter decide what would work best and she looked like a princess!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

My friend and I went to Christiane for prom makeup- she was so friendly and welcoming and regularly checked in to make sure we were happy with the makeup. She did such a great job and I received so many compliments! Definitely recommend and I will be returning for future special occasions!

Christiane is amazing!! Christiane was doing my prom makeup for me and omg she exceeded every expectation I had. Her space is clean and welcoming and Christiane herself is lovely and kind. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed the lesson. Christiane was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. It was great to have a fresh look at how/what makeup I apply. Definitely recommended!

First time I’ve had my make up done and I could of not asked for a better make up artist! Christiane kept me updated with everything she was doing to ensure I liked the look I was aiming for! I got so many compliments on the day about the way my make up looked and I was so WOWED when I had the first full look, it was perfect and everything I wanted I highly recommend Christiane and will definitely be back

I bought my mum and I a joint make up lesson with Christiane for my mum’s birthday and it was just perfect. Christiane is both talented and professional and what we learnt that day was life changing! I have loved doing my make up since and forever receiving compliments. I’ll definitely be going back!

Christiane done an amazing job on mine and my mums makeup for my brothers wedding recently. I would highly recommend using Christiane for all your special occasions as she is so welcoming and listens to your needs and requests. Me and mum never wear makeup and Christiane took this in to account and made us feel so comfortable. We absolutely loved the outcome and our makeup lasted all day and evening. We will definitely be returning to Christiane for all our future special occasions and we can’t wait. Thank you again Christiane xx

I cannot recommend Christiane enough! I had a 1-2-1 make up lesson which was extremely informative, Christiane was very professional and kind and I could not have been happier with my look! X

I recently went for a make up lesson with Christiane. She was very professional and knowledgeable, talking me through the steps slowly and checking continuously if I had any questions. I haven’t learnt so much about make up in years – it was just what I needed! I even received a handy step by step guide at the end with the products listed that she used. Thankyou so much Christiane!

I felt relaxed as soon as I met Christiane. She is so calm and professional. I had never had professional make up before so was slightly nervous of what would be achievable but I needn’t have worried. My make up was perfect, and although a lot of different products were used, my skin didn’t feel weighed down. I was even given a little pot containing the lipstick and gloss so I could top up my lips if needed, although It wasn’t as my make stayed perfect well into the evening even after a few emotional moments at my party. Can’t recommend Christiane enough. Will be booking again for sure.

Absolutely loved the bronze, glowy and radiant look Christiane created on me! She used products that suited my skin and enhanced my features, making me want to purchase some of the products myself! The look lasted all day and felt light on my skin. She was so welcoming and friendly as well as professional and ensured everything was safe and clean in regards to covid – I will definitely be returning to get my makeup done by her again 🙂

I booked a make up lesson with Christiane for my daughter as a surprise Birthday gift and what an amazing experience it was for her! Starting with a very efficient communication during the booking procedure, also with regards to Covid safety, made me already very reassured. Christine also accommodated us on the exact day of my daughter’s birthday despite not working that day which was so really nice of her! I was so impressed with her true talent, professionalism and an amazing ability to put her clients at ease. Nothing is too much trouble and no question is a silly question. My daughter’s make up was so subtle and natural and simply absolutely beautiful. She loved every minute of it and learnt a huge amount. I can’t recommend Christiane enough!

Bought a 3 hour dual make up lesson – what a fantastic experience we both had. The lesson was totally tailored to our needs and as ‘slightly’ more mature ladies Christiane made us feel totally at ease when explaining new concepts such as contouring etc. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn from scratch or improve on what they already know.
Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I couldn’t recommend Christiane enough! Having had a breakout right before my appointment and having struggled with my skin and concealing spots in the past I was concerned that it would be a problem whilst having my makeup done, but I had complete confidence in Christiane’s expertise and came out feeling so beautiful, my skin has never looked so flawless and glowing. I got so many compliments all day and I cannot wait to go back!

Christiane applied my makeup beautifully – I wanted a natural dewy look for everyday whilst accentuating certain features and the final outcome was great. Christiane also gave me fab tips on how to emphasize features by applying make up in a certain way. I was also finally able to know which foundation and concealer colour tone would best match my skin as Christiane uses a selection of brands and finding the right colour match has usually been a challenge. Christiane was very personable and patient, highly recommend.

Christiane made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed the experience immensely. I was very stuck in a rut with my make up routine and I came away with very fresh and flattering new look, that I can recreate myself I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, the transformation was subtle but amazing!

I cannot recommend Christiane enough! My makeup was flawless and suited my face perfectly. She was very calm and professional and made me feel so glamorous! I will be returning.

I highly recommend the lovely Christiane as a makeup artist. She is so very talented and makes you feel completely at ease. I absolutely loved the glowy look she created on me, I didn’t want to take my makeup off!

Today I had such a wonderful experience with Christiane and I wanted to come and write a review straight away! From start to finish she was friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable and at ease. The look she created was beautiful and didn’t feel heavy on the face at all, which is important for me. She took some wonderful photos to finish off with which added to the overall experience. Thank you again and I hope to return sometime!

I was bought this for my birthday and she was really professional and kind. Was really helpful with everything I needed to know and then followed up after to check on any questions. Had everything you could possibly want to use, shades and types. Learnt a ton! Would highly recommend!

I booked the gift voucher for my wife to have a private makeup lesson. One of the best decisions I have ever made, Christiane is super helpful and my wife really enjoyed the lesson. Dealing with Christiane is really easy, she replies really quick to emails and is very helpful. My wife like the lesson so much she is going to book again.

From the initial contact to leaving after the lesson Christiane was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable and and pleasure to meet. I have learnt a lot – I was using the wrong colours in the wrong places. Learnt new ways to change the shape of my eyes. All my friends now have makeup envy. I feel fantastic on nights out and race days. Thank you so much Christiane for teaching me makeup that suits me and gives me confidence.

Christiane was very friendly and professional. I had a 1-1 lesson and everything was explained very clearly and easily. I learnt so much and would highly recommend her! Can’t wait to start doing my own makeup thanks to Christiane.

I booked a 121 make up lesson with Christiane and spent an amazing evening with her learning new tricks. Loved the session and the make up she made for me and she is lovely. Thank you!

Wow! The whole process was such a wonderful experience. The moment I was greeted at the door to the finishing touches towards the end of the appointment. Great covid guidance in place for safety and health as the whole appointment was so relaxing and fun. When asked about the products I was told the brand’s in detail which was super informative! The attention to detail was outstanding and I was blown away but the artistry of this beautiful talent. Even three days after my initial appointment, people were still talking about my make up look which is a credit to the amazing work. 100% would recommend! I love the idea that at the end you get to take photos to, it adds that element of exclusivity and excitement to the appointment which makes the whole experience so fantastic. X

Absolutely amazing experience!! Christiane made me feel welcome and relaxed!! She answered all my questions I had and made me feel so special!! I was so impressed by my make up and the service I received! Will definitely recommend to people who are looking to get their make up done, as well as learning a bit or too about make up and application!! I will definitely be back for more!! I loved my make I didn’t want to take it off!!

Prior to entering Tier 4, I visited Christiane for my first ever experience of having my makeup done professionally. Christiane’s talents are remarkable, making me look and feel like a million dollars. Her care, dedication and skills are out of this world. I can’t praise her highly enough and I would recommend her to anyone.
Thank you, Christiane, for an unforgettable experience.

As a complete newbie, I didn’t even know how to use a brush to apply make-up. Christiane was so kind and patient and explained everything so well. I feel much more confident and know exactly what to use to compliment my complexion. She genuinely made everything seem so easy! I’d highly recommend her.

Christiane was amazing in my recent 1-2-1 makeup tutorial. I’ve never done anything like this before so was a little apprehensive, but I needn’t have been as Christiane was extremely warm, welcoming, polite and professional! The tutorial itself was amazing and Christiane was extremely knowledgeable on the things I needed to know, I came away feeling confident on what I had learnt, and would highly recommend her to anyone considering a private makeup lesson. Thank you so much Christiane!

I couldn’t recommend Christiane enough, I had such an enjoyable time getting my makeup done by her. She talked me through the whole process and picked out all vegan and cruelty free products for me! I adored the look she created for me and made my skin look so glowy and gorgeous! A big thank you to Christiane for making me feel and look like a goddess! ✨💛

My whole experience of Christiane doing my makeup really was the best. Not only did she make me feel comfortable and relaxed, but her talent for her profession is unmatched! Having previously suffered with bad skin, I was nervous having someone else do my makeup but Christiane made me feel so confident and I absolutely loved my final look! I was also made to feel extremely safe with all COVID regulations in place. Thank you, Christiane, I couldn’t recommend you enough!

I had the pleasure of having Christiane do my makeup a few weeks ago – she worked her magic on my face with a soft glam look and I absolutely loved it. Christiane did a perfect job of making my freckles visible through my makeup (something I always fail to do myself) so my makeup looked lovely and natural. I didn’t want to take it off later that day!

I feel like the photos speak a million amazing words. Christiane did my makeup recently and I never wanted to take it off. She made me feel so glamorous and is so professional yet so approachable. Having my makeup professionally done for the first time and she made me feel so comfortable and was so lovely talking me through everything she was doing. Her studio is so clean and well presented. I cannot wait for lockdown to be over so I can have my makeup done by Christiane again. She is truly the best.

Christiane did my makeup, I loved the final look so much. Christiane was extremely professional and friendly, I would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of getting their makeup done. Xx

Having my make up done by Christiane was a pleasure! She is very talented and extremely professional. The appointment followed covid guidelines and it was an enjoyable way to spend an hour or 2. I would recommend Christiane to anyone seeking a make up artist!

As someone who suffers from spotty skin, I was very nervous for someone to see my spots let alone do my makeup! However, Christiane was so welcoming and understanding, and the makeup she applied was flawless. Natural, warm and dewy but still covered all of my spots. I absolutely loved it, couldn’t have been in better hands. Highly recommend. Thank you so much Christiane x

Christiane is the best! She was really professional, made me feel so comfortable and the makeup she did was incredible. She covered my skin imperfections seamlessly and the finished look make me feel so confident. I would recommend Christiane to everyone and will definitely be coming back!

The lovely Christiane did my makeup and I have never looked so good. From the moment I sat down on the chair she went through what look I wanted what I wanted to achieve. Also, she checked that I was happy, so friendly and professional, definitely recommend. Thank you lovely 🙂

Christiane is so good at her job and it really shows! She did my makeup and my mums makeup for a family photoshoot and she listened to every request we made and did a fabulous job! Neither of us had had our makeup done before so weren’t sure what to expect but we went to the photoshoot feeling confident and amazed by her work! Highly recommend her for any occasion! And the fact she does nails too is a added bonus! ❤️

I had the pleasure of having my make-up done by Christiane a couple of weeks ago and loved it! She is amazing at what she does and very professional. She followed all the covid guidelines and made the experience feel very safe. I highly recommend Christiane to anyone looking to get there make up done for any occasion!

I’ve now seen Christiane on two occasions for special occasion make up, and each time she has done an absolutely beautiful job.

Not only is she extremely talented, but she’s also really friendly and very professional, and makes you feel completely at ease.

She really listens to what you want, and also advises on what she thinks would compliment you as well. She also has such a fantastic range of high end products.

Thank you so much Christiane, you always make me feel like a million dollars, and I wouldn’t want to see anyone else ☺️

I can’t thank Christiane enough for the look she created for me, I was so happy with the finished look. I would highly recommend Christiane’s make up services. She was professional and listened to my needs, she used high end products and explained in detail the products she was using. Being a new mum I don’t have much time to get that creative with my makeup, it was so nice to feel glam and have such a high quality finish! Thank you Christiane I’ll be back soon for sure!

I was given a make up tutorial voucher for my birthday. It was the best present! Christiane was amazing with the way she taught and tailored skin care / make up to the look I wanted to go for. The session went so quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

I had the opportunity to have my makeup done by Christiane a couple days ago & couldn’t recommend her enough!! Not only was she extremely professional, but was so lovely and made sure to take so much attention to detail and use the products that worked best with my skin. I was so pleased with the outcome of the final look & will definitely be going there again. Was such a pleasure to have her do my makeup!

I was attending a t-girl event in Crawley and wanted to have my makeup professionally applied so I looked on the web and found Christiane’s site. After looking at her wonderful site it was obvious that I should book an appointment. Her professionalism and attitude towards the Covid crisis was excellent and made sure that myself and her were totally protected with hand sanitisation on arrival and PPE in use during the makeover. Her friendly and open character put me totally at ease as soon as I arrived and she was very happy to answer all of my boring questions about makeup and beauty as she worked her magic on me. The finished result was absolutely superb and I have never had my makeup applied so wonderfully. I will definitely be looking into going back to see Christiane once the Covid crisis is over and have a makeup lesson so I can try to apply it myself.
I will be recommending her to all of my friends.

I had a fantastic 1-2-1 make up lesson with Christiane! She was so welcoming and professional. She took time to talk me through each step in great detail, giving me lots of advice and recommendations. I learnt so much and love the fact that Christiane gave me a step by step guide to take away as a reminder plus a list of all the beautiful products she used on me during my lesson. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Christiane, she is wonderful!

I had a 1-2-1 make up lesson with Christiane it as amazing. I wanted to improve how I applied my make up and understand what products work for me.
Christiane is extremely experienced and explained everything step by step I loved the finished look and can’t wait to start practicing.
I would highly recommend a lesson with Christiane she made me feel comfortable and relaxed and I got what I wanted from the session.

I absolutely loved my private make-up lesson with Christiane. She is super friendly and also keeps a very clean studio. Very reasonable price for her level of experience. Highly recommend 🙂

I had a wonderful experience on Saturday with Christiane. It was the first lesson I ever had. I’ve learnt so much from her. The products she used were all high end brand . I had so many compliments. All I can say is she ‘s a brilliant and amazing artist. I highly recommend Christiane.

What a kind, professional, skilled lady! I had a 1-2-1 makeup lesson including lashes with Christiane three days ago. She went over the basics for me then we did a step by step “how to” for an elegant evening look. It was a lovely afternoon and I had a great time. I feel confident with what I’ve learnt and I’m very satisfied! Thank you!

I had a really good make-up lesson with Christiane. She was very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher! She asked me lots of questions to gauge what I would like and I was really impressed with the final result! I feel so much more confident using make up now and also have more confidence in buying make-up too! I highly recommend using Christiane! She is fantastic!

What a wonderful experience. Christiane is very patient, professional and informative. I had been meaning to get a makeup lesson booked for a while and didn’t realise I was lucky enough to have such a talented lady on my doorstep. She also made me feel very safe in this current COVID environment. I would freely recommend Christiane to anyone. She made me feel and look amazing and I cannot wait to order some new make up and brushes and start practising the look.

Had a make up lesson and was really pleased. Was very friendly and professional. The lesson was lovely and relaxed. Very informative and was given an information pack to take home with me. Would definitely recommend.

Completely in line with the CV19 procedures and felt very safe and clean. Christiane was super friendly and quick to respond to initial query. Great selection of nail colours and did a beautiful job on my nails. Very reasonable for the quality and experience.

Christiane is very friendly yet professional. I loved my make up and would definitely recommend to anyone looking!

Had an amazing experience with Christiane yesterday. I had no idea how to do make up properly, especially my eye make up so thought that should change! Christiane made me feel very comfortable, she explained everything really well with step by step instructions. I was super pleased with the results! I went home and practised on my sister, was 100% better! Thank you Christiane! X

Had a prom makeup trial done today and it was amazing! I wasn’t really sure what kind of look I wanted when I went but Christiane really knew what she was doing and created a beautiful look, that was amazing and she made me look so good!! I’m so happy I picked her to do my prom makeup and am excited for her to do it on the day :)))

Christiane created a beautiful look for me recently for my Niece’s wedding as well as for my Niece, the Bride, on the day too. The look was appropriate for my age (52) yet striking and elegant, I had many compliments on the day. I would thoroughly recommend Christiane to do make up for all ages and events. Very creative and knowledgeable artist.

As a slightly more mature lady I finally built up the courage to book a make up lesson.
What can I say …… this young lady certainly knows hers stuff ! I was transformed! Initially I wasn’t sure that we were heading in the right direction but as one would say Rome was not built in a day. I carried on with my lesson and by the end I realized that I absolutely needed help with my make up as I had got into a routine over the years that meant I used the same stuff day in day out. By the time I left my 2 hour make up lesson I had learnt so much about how to apply and what to use. I would highly recommend a lesson if you want to look and to be honest feel younger!!!! Thank you so much for all your help and tips I will embrace my new way of applying my make up ?

Christiane fitted me for an appointment without like ten mins notice of me messaging her! I’ve used a lot of makeup artists but Christiane did mine absolutely perfect! Lovely girl too xx Thank you!

I was so pleased with my make up. Christiane made me feel welcome and helped with my choices for eyeshadow etc. I had compliments all night and have recommended Christiane to friends I can’t wait to book for the next special occasion.

Had the most amazing experience having a 1 to 1 makeup lesson today. Christiane makes you feel really relaxed and at ease as well as being great at what she does. I am a trans women so never tried makeup yet. Christiane broke it all down and made it easy to understand. 100% recommend her!

My make up for my 50th birthday was amazing, Christiane did a try out a few weeks ago and then expertly redid on the day of the event. It is a very professional set up and Christiane is very patient and really listens to what you want or in my case good with suggestions . I would thoroughly recommend Christiane and will certainly use her talents again in the future.

Lovely lady! Very skilled in her job!

To All Crossdressers, Transpeople or Guys who simply want to express their Femininity occasionally,Christiane is undoubtedly the Lovely Person to visit for Expert M/U advice+help?! Me personally, I Love to be Realistically Made Up but always aim to Look Like a Woman wearing a Full On Look!! Due to practical reasons I’m having to wind it all down, so recently I paid Christiane a visit for “hopefully” a makeover to remember!! Well,from the bottom of my heart She didn’t disappoint!! I wasn’t really Nervous on Arrival,but I was apprehensive with a Tummy Full of Butterflies! Christiane made me totally at Ease+calmly told me I wasn’t harming anybody so ENJOY!! And I duly DID! I’ve still got a tear in my eye now-what an Amazing Human Being she is+putting that briefly put to one side”A M/U Artist 2nd to None!!” I could easily write a List of Words of Praising Christiane, CLASS is definitely One of the Them?!! She makes a Lovely Cuppa too!

Christiane is absolutely amazing at what she does, very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.

Huge thank you to Christiane!
What a lovely girl and so professional. What a lovely experience was really nice to just relax and be pampered 🙂
What a studio tooo ?
Would 100% recommend Christiane and would love to come back myself in the future .
Thank you for making me feel a million dollars. And have a very merry Christmas .

Absolutely amazing!! I bought my daughter a make up lesson with Christiane and I honestly can not recommend her highly enough, her studio is beautiful, she has a huge selection of high quality products, and her knowledge is fantastic, but moreover her delivery of the lesson was outstanding, asking my daughter at each stage if she had any questions, giving her choices and so forth, I am so impressed that I am going to book a lesson myself, I am so grateful we found you Christiane we will always book with you now for special occasions, thank you Christiane you made us feel so comfortable and welcome we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! My daughter’s make up was fabulous! For anybody who is a little bit nervous about going along, rest assured Christiane will instantly set you at ease! We even enjoyed the Christmas music! Thank you so so much.

Christiane is so talented, I have booked with her once before for a black tie event and have just booked my second appointment. You leave feeling a million bucks! The products used were all gorgeous, if there is anything she doesn’t have it is not worth having. 100% would recommend.

Wow – what a find! Christiane was responsible for my bridal party’s make-up in November this year. She worked her magic on various bridesmaids aged between, 17-41. Christiane is incredibly talented and bang on trend. She is very easy to talk to and work with, all of us felt completely at ease during the whole experience. We all had different ideas of what look we wanted to achieve and Christiane managed to ensure we were all left feeling a million dollars! I wish I could give this review more than 5 stars! If you are lucky enough to secure her for your big day or any other occasion, you will not be disappointed!

I am so thankful I chose Christiane to do my makeup! Firstly, her customer service is the best I have ever received. The event I was going to had changed their time and Christiane was able to accommodate me and fit me in earlier which I was so grateful for as I was feeling very self conscious about the event and really wanted my makeup done.

Secondly, the work she did was incredible! She worked with me to get the look I was after and used products on my face which really worked for my skin and left it feeling glowy and healthy! I have never felt as amazing as I did that night and to go from feeling self conscious to confident I think speaks volumes of how talented Christiane is! I cannot wait until I book my next appointment with her as I’m excited to see what we will achieve next time! 10/10 best makeup artist ever!

I had Christiane do my wedding make-up. She was absolutely AMAZING. The results was brilliant and everything I wanted and more. She also did my bridesmaid make up and my mum. My mum is very fussy with her make up and won’t normally let anyone do her make up, however she loved her results and will not be using anyone else from now on. Christiane thank you so much for being a part of my special day and helping us all look stunning.

Bless you Christiane – best makeover ever – bar none! Thank you! I went shopping at Richmond – no one gave me a 2nd look. Tried on a few beautiful dresses! Went for a drink in a pub(!)…and a local posh hotel!!?? Such was the confidence your makeover presented! I got to the party on time as well, lovely, casual and very mixed audience; each with lovely comments for me (ahh such a delight) – I am still dreaming. So thank you thank you xxx

I had a 1-2-1 make up lesson with Christiane and for somebody so young she was so professional and knowledgeable she really is so talented! Her make up skills and teaching were fantastic and even months afterwards she will still answer any make up questions I have and is so helpful and friendly!! I can’t recommend her enough! Christiane you are an inspiration! Keep doing what you’re doing!!

Hi, my name is Billie.

I have been having a bit of a challenging time in my life, so, I wanted to do something to make myself feel really good about myself again. I decided that a new day time makeup regime would be a good place to start, so with some help from Google I trusted my intuition and I was blessed to have found Christiane Dowling Makeup Artistry.
I have spent some time with her today for a 1:2:1 session, without doubt it was the best couple of hours I have had since, well, my memory fails. As an older person and Trans woman I was made to feel so welcome and comfortable throughout the session.
Christiane provided very clear information about every stage and detailed information about each product and how to use properly, with a written summary at the end of the session as an aide memoire, bless my memory.
I was rather nervous when she asked if I would like some photos at the end of the session as I have a difficult relationship with photos of me, lol. I was so so pleased and surprised at the results, I looked fab, wow, it made me feel like a million dollars, thanks to Christiane who so made my day.
I can’t recommend highly enough, in, investing the time and money for a 1:2;1 session with Christiane, go on, you so deserve it. x

Was able to have my graduation make up done by Christiane and she made me look amazing! Amazing experience and made me feel really comfortable and trust her! X

Christiane did such an fantastic job with my makeup for a work function, and I felt amazing and so much more confident because of it! Several of my colleagues complimented my makeup, even males! I had my appointment early afternoon, and it lasted (eyelashes and all) throughout the afternoon, evening, and into the early hours without budging! I cannot recommend Christiane enough! 😀

Christiane was exceptionally professional, from my first contact booking a trial all the way through to completing my makeup on the day. She really listened to me and how I wanted to look on my big day and turned my dream into a reality. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to any bride to do their makeup.

Christiane did mine and my mum’s makeup for a special occasion yesterday, she was absolutely amazing!! Very professional from start to finish! We both loved our makeup and had lots of comments throughout the day? highly recommend

Flawless, best make up I’ve had x

Christiane did my wedding make up, I couldn’t of been happier with the results, very professional, organised and a fantastic make-up artist. Will definitely be using Christiane again in the future. Would highly recommend!

Christiane did mine, my mum’s and two of my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding on the 29th August, she did an absolutely amazing job. Christiane was very professional right from the first communication. At my trial she made me feel so comfortable and nothing was too much trouble, I didn’t really have any idea what style I wanted, and Christiane just went with it and I loved it so much. Christiane arrived super early on the wedding morning and took her time with each one of us, making sure everyone had exactly the look they wanted. I felt absolutely amazing all day long on my wedding day and I know my mum and bridesmaids did too. My makeup lasted all day and beyond and I didn’t need to touch up once. I fell asleep in my makeup, which I never usually do, but I woke up the next morning and my makeup was still perfect.
Christiane was absolutely amazing from start to finish, right from the moment I got in touch with her. She was always happy to answer my (sometimes silly) questions and made me feel at ease.
I would highly recommend Christiane, and I will certainly be returning for future special occasions.

Wheres the 100000 stars button?! Christiane did makeup for me, my mum, grandma & Maid of Honour for my wedding on Friday 30th August & she did a beyond incredible job! We all had loads of compliments throughout the day & was still looking just as amazing at the end of the day as it was in the beginning. So much so we didn’t want to take it off! ? Loved my trial so much that I quickly got booked in for my hen party too! Our experience with the lovely Christiane has been completely faultless from start to finish & I’m desperately searching for an occasion to go to her again! ☺️ Thank you so much for making my day extra special xxxx

From the moment I contacted Christiane she was very keen to know our make up likes and see photos of our usual looks, she is extremely helpful and professional and strives to achieve perfection and also a look that her clients are 100% happy with. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she asks you at different stages if you like what’s been done so far . My daughters and I were very impressed with Christiane- the make up stayed put all day and night and received compliments on all our looks!

Christiane did my makeup for my daughters wedding in August this year and I was delighted with her work. So much so I booked a makeup lesson with Christiane which I had today. Christiane talks you through step by step and makes sure you have mastered the application before moving on to the next step. Christiane is calm informative and very helpful offering me to contact her for advice following the makeup lesson if I get stuck. I highly recommend Christiane for wedding and special occasion makeup.

I loved my make-up lesson with Christiane! Despite wearing make-up for years, I still learnt so much. Christiane was very welcoming, involved me in all decisions about the products used and made sure I was happy with everything. I’d definitely recommend and look forward to returning ?

I had a 1 to 1 makeup lesson with Christiane today and really enjoyed it. Learnt lots of tips and Christiane has even offered to be on hand with any questions after. Thank you for such a great few hours!

I’m so happy that I found and chose Christiane as my wedding make up artist. She’s so talented and sweet. Not only she made me look stunning for my wedding day but she also listened to my personal preferences and made sure to implement them in the finished look. I’m really grateful and I highly recommend her to anyone that just wants to feel extra beautiful whatever the occasion is.

Make up session and Prom make up for my daughter.

Christiane had the best communication style both in emails prior to bookings and face to face. The information she provided on her website, in her emails during and after the session was brilliant. Booking was a breeze.

Christiane makes anyone instantly at ease. She is very easy to speak with. She is extremely talented and really take the client’s style and thoughts into her work. My daughter’s Prom make up was understated yet beautiful, just as she had wanted. It was absolutely right for the dress and overall look. The make up used was of the best quality and lasted throughout the evening, throughout Prom and beyond, and looked brilliant without the need to reapply.

Christiane is clearly extremely knowledgeable and talented yet she comes across as very down to earth.

Booking a make up lesson or a special occasion make up with Christiane in my view, is an excellent investment and would make a fantastic gift that would be sure to please.

I cannot recommend her enough! Quality experience and customer service throughout from a brilliantly talented make up artist and genuinely lovely person.

This weekend was the second time I have used Christiane for make up. Once for a wedding a few months ago, and this bank holiday weekend for a festival. Her make up is flawless, and lasts really well. My husband said it was the best make up I have had done and I have been to several other local make up artists. Three of my friends also went to Christiane for make up the same morning and were very impressed. Thank you Christiane.

Amazing makeup that lasted all day! Received lots of compliments 🙂 will definitely be back x

I had a fantastic makeup lesson with Christiane. It was the first lesson I’ve ever had and I just wish I had done it sooner as I have never looked better! I’d really recommend going to see Christiane if you want some new ideas, a refresh or just to see how amazing you can look with the right makeup and good techniques.

I am a mature transwoman who is making tentative steps into my new identity. I was scared about going to a make-up session but Christiane is an exceptionally talented make-up artist whose professionalism and warmth put me at ease right from the moment I entered her studio. It was a lot of fun; I learned loads and I’m excited to practise what I was taught. I’d like to unequivocally recommend Christiane to anyone, cis or trans.

Christiane was lovely & friendly. She nailed exactly the look I wanted for my hen do. Would definitely recommend using Christiane!

My sister and I went to Christiane for occasion make up and were so happy with her work. She is a very talented make up artist and also a lovey person. We will definitely be going back to her!

Christiane did a fantastic job on my makeup for my leavers ball – she created the exact look I wanted and listened to what I had to say, will definitely be using her again!!

I went to Christiane for a Make up lesson she was very professional warm and welcoming when I arrived.
I was able to change in the studio prior to the lesson and and felt totally relaxed when we started. Christiane talked me through all the techniques to create a very natural and as she put it at the end of the lesson “Soft Glam” look .
The lesson was really informative and did not feel rushed at all even though the two hours seemed to fly by.
I can highly recommend Christiane if you are thinking of booking a lesson do it now, you will not be disappointed!

This young lady is incredibly talented. Not only that, she shows a maturity that immediately puts you at ease. My sister and I both had a lesson and I was bowled over by the results. Christiane was polite, knowledgeable and answered all our queries. Her work is outstanding and I am sure she will go far in her career ?. Brilliant few hours spent with a professional.

A great prom make up for my daughter Chelsey last week – looked fab. I would recommend Christiane for any special occasion make-up session!

I was recommended Christiane to do my makeup for a close friends wedding. I went with a few ideas of what I wanted but was unsure on colours and all the options involved, Christiane was SO helpful with helping me and the makeup turned out amazing! I got compliments throughout the day and felt glam but natural which is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you for being so lovely and doing my makeup for me :).

Christiane did my makeup for a wedding and she did a fantastic job! She really listened and understood well what look I wanted to go for and yet was able to make recommendations when I wasn’t too sure about something. Christiane is professional and uses high-end products; she’s very knowledgeable and lovely to talk to, I felt really comfortable in her studio. And got great comments for my makeup at the wedding. Thanks again!

My daughter and I had a make up lesson with Christiane a few weeks ago as a birthday present. I wanted to teach my daughter how to properly apply makeup and have an understanding of what products to use.
Christiane was very patient and took us both through what to do step by step, answering all our questions and we both learned so much. Our biggest learning was how to do eyes
She was super helpful before, during and after the day and my daughter has been regularly practicing her new found skills on herself and anyone else willing to be her model.
Thank you Christiane for a great experience and for nurturing a new hobby in such a lovely way.

Christiane did my makeup for a night out. I went with an idea of what I wanted and she made it come to life and it looked better than I could imagine. Confidence was at a whole other level. Thank you so much!

Christiane did the makeup for myself and my bridal party on the 24/05/19 and I cannot recommend her enough. She listened to what everyone wanted and made sure everyone was happy and felt comfortable. Me and two of my bridesmaids had a trial beforehand which was also great and allowed me to be 100% sure of what I wanted on the day. She is super friendly which made the whole morning a lot more relaxed. All of the bridal party had comments on how beautiful their make up was and it lasted all day and night (even with a lot of dancing). I cannot thank her enough! 🙂

Christiane did my wedding makeup and also the makeup for my 5 bridesmaids a few weeks ago. Having been let down by another makeup artist, I contacted Christiane and I’m so glad that she was able to help out! From her first email right through to the big day, Christiane kept me informed so I wasn’t at all worried out about how things would go on the day. She listened to what I wanted and also offered great advice. Her makeup artistry skills speak for themselves!! We were all so thrilled on the day and had lots of lovely compliments. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Christiane did my bridesmaid make up a couple of weeks ago and I was more than thrilled with the results! She asked exactly what I wanted and ensured I got the covers she and colours that worked best for me. I had so many compliments on my make up on the day and my make up lasted until early hours of the next morning! I will definitely be using Christiane again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a make up artist. Thank you so much!

Really enjoyed my make up lesson with Christiane, she was really kind and helpful and made me feel completely at ease, absolutely recommend the experience!!

I purchased a makeup lesson for my grandaughter’s 13th birthday. She was very excited and really enjoyed it. Christiane made us very welcome and was lovely to Keira. She explained every step of the makeup application and the finished result was stunning. I cannot recommend Christiane highly enough and I have already promised my 11 year old grandaughter a makeup lesson for her 13th. Thank you so much Christiane.

I am a bit of a novice with make up so I had a 1:1 lesson. Christiane made me feel very relaxed and I was very happy with the way I looked at the end! Christiane went through each product that was being used and we went through the process step by step.
Highly recommend!!

Christiane is an amazing makeup artist, as a trans person I can’t recommend her highly enough, her makeup helped to give me confidence to look lady like and not look like a drag artist. I’d recommend her to other Trans people looking for makeup advice and make overs.

Christiane done my make up for my birthday! Was absolutely amazing ? couldn’t of been any happier with the results, very polite lady! Would definitely recommend x

Christiane couldn’t have done a more amazing job! She picked out the colours and products perfectly suited to me, she is incredibly skilled and professional. Would 100% recommend!

Christiane Dowling is a very talented make up artist and a natural born teacher. She taught me how to do my own bridal make up, gave me amazing tips and wrote it all down for me which was very useful.

I absolutely loved my make up done by Christiane last night! Had so many compliments. She used colours I wouldn’t normally go for and they looked so nice. Would highly recommend. Thank you! X

Amazing I would highly recommend Christiane such a lovely and talented women!!!!

Great studio with SO much choice of make up! Christiane is so lovely and explains everything she is doing. I had a make up lesson as I was stuck in a rut and not really knowing what I needed to do to update my look. I had a great 2 hours and, as a woman in her early 50’s, came away looking and feeling great and with a whole host of tips to help me. I would highly recommend Christiane as a professional, friendly and skilled makeup artist.

Christiane did a fantastic job with my makeup prior to having a Corporate Headshot. Perfectly applied, it was exactly the look I had asked for to give a polished, daytime look that wouldn’t fade away under the strong camera lights. I thought it looked great when Christiane had finished, but when I saw the results in the photo’s I was amazed. I would have never been able to achieve that myself, although Christiane has inspired me and I am going to be booking again for a make up lesson.

I can’t recommend Christiane enough. She really listed to my preferences, made me feel really relaxed. I loved my make up and felt really confident in my own skin. Will definitely be booking again 🙂

My sister and I had a lovely make-up lesson with Christiane today. Learned so much and left feeling confident that I can reproduce the look myself in the future. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Christiane did my makeup yesterday for my birthday and I absolutely loved it! My makeup was perfect – not a thing that I didn’t like or would’ve changed. Really friendly and easy to chat to which is great. Christiane uses high end products and has an extensive range of eyelashes to choose from which is perfect. I’ll definitely be asking Christiane to do my makeup for future events. Had I not already arranged my bridal makeup a long time ago, I would definitely have considered Christiane to do this!

Had a make up lesson with Christiane. Learnt so much (especially about where I’m going wrong) and most importantly actually found all the products that suit me. When you go to a store, a sales person will try sell you only their brand for sales targets, whereas with Christiane, she advises you from multiple brands based on YOU!!!!! Not only that, but my makeup looked amazing after and I got so many compliments. Definitely want to go back for another session, maybe next time with some friends …. really enjoyed it ?

I had my first ever make up lesson with Christiane this weekend a present from my husband and I couldn’t be happy enough. Christiane is very professional and thorough and cleared all my doubts and questions, I can’t wait to apply the skills she has taught me and I must say I had many compliments on the make up she did from friends and family and even people in the town stopped to compliment me on my eye makeup that Christiane did. I would love to use her for an event soon. She is brilliant!

Christiane was amazing. I loved my makeup. It lasted all night and I got loads of compliments. I can’t wait to use her again!

Christiane was amazing. So lovely and professional, she listened and nothing was too much trouble. Both my mum and I had never had our makeup done before and she made the whole process fun and kept us looking like us but glam. Would recommend to anyone!!

Christiane was very professional and my makeup was perfect! Exactly what I wanted and lasted all night, received so many compliments on my eye makeup. Would highly recommend.

I had a really informative lesson from Christiane where she taught me the various steps with blending eyeshadow and contouring my face. She is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, making you feel at ease from the moment you enter her house. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Christiane did my make up for a 1920’s themed party. I was really happy with the result and I felt beautiful. I would definitely recommend Christiane.

Absolutely delighted with my Make-up. Christiane is extremely professional and a very talented lady! I felt a million dollars ! I had so many compliments at the event I went to! I will recommend Christiane to everybody !
Thank you once again , Dawn ?

Christiane is highly skilled and very professional, she listened to the ideas that I had and suggested different options that produced such a glamorous flawless look for my Christmas party!

The products she used were really lovely on my skin and also a great colour match, Christiane has a good range of lashes too, her make up studio is every girls dream!

I highly recommend Christiane, I can’t wait to go back for another event! Xxx

Christiane was amazing! I would highly recommend her, a very talented women!

I’d been looking for a professional makeup lesson from someone with an open attitude towards the LGBTQ+ community (specifically trans and gender diverse people) for a while, and Christiane was very welcoming and friendly. I came away from the lesson with lots of helpful tips, suggestions and advice. I would highly recommend her.

Christiane is so professional, absolutely loved my make up and received many compliments, highly recommend!

Christiane did my make up for my wedding and it was exactly what I wanted for my big day. I felt amazing, the look really worked with my dress and hair style and it lasted all day. I felt amazing and she is one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met!

Christiane did my makeup for my 18th birthday party and she was amazing. She makes you feel super comfortable and at ease and really listens to what you want. I would 100% recommend her services for any event and will definitely go back to her in the future if I ever need my makeup done again. 10/10 would recommend!

Christiane was amazing when she done my make up she took her time and really got the look I wanted I literally felt amazing afterwards! Thank you so much and would definitely recommend ?? xx

Christiane is a godsend! I had my make up done for a special event and was thrilled with the results. I felt a million dollars as it gave me so much confidence and I had so many compliments. The look lasted all evening and I did not even need a lipstick top up which Christiane also supplied. I can’t recommend her enough and will always use her for my make up artistry. A massive Thank you xxxx

Christiane did my daughter’s bridesmaids in July and did a fantastic job. I decided to book Christiane for a make up lesson and it was such a great experience, she not only made me feel very comfortable I loved what she taught me .
Highly recommend this lovely young lady.

After researching and contacting hundreds of make up artists for my bridal make up I came across Christiane who stood out from all of them with how professional I thought she looked. I was definitely not let down. From start to finish Christiane has made me feel special and will advise on questions I have within moments. She is completely professional with personal touches. Christiane took time to listen to mine, my mum’s and my sister’s visions on our own make up and made it become reality. She really did take time and care for all of us and went above and beyond with her service.
I really can’t recommend Christiane enough as you can clearly see she puts 100% effort in everything she does and has a clear passion for make up, not just treating you as the next client.
Thank you for helping make my day that extra special and I really hope that an occasion comes up so I can book an appointment with you again.

Very happy with the services provided, Christiane is very talented and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Christiane did my make up for a wedding I was attending and I loved it. Great make up artist and would highly recommend.

Christiane was wonderful, she is so professional and so talented! She got what I wanted absolutely spot on for my 21st, I’m totally grateful and would recommend her ten times over ?

Christiane is a wonderful MUA and I would highly recommend her. I hired her for my bridal makeup and not only was she a very calming influence in a VERY hectic environment, her skills were A CLASS. My makeup lasted all day, night and until I took it off the next morning!!!!!

Thank you so much for doing my makeup, you were professional and gave wonderful advice and a lovely lady! Would recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again. Helen x

Christiane did my wedding makeup and what an amazing job she did! On a personal level she is just such a lovely lady, she takes into consideration exactly what was being asked and my make up couldn’t of been more perfect along with all my bridesmaids makeup! She is a little miracle worker! Thanks for sharing my special day with me, I couldn’t of been more made up (excuse the pun!) with my lovely makeup! I can’t recommend Christiane more. She is going to go a long way in her career, a very talented lady indeed.

An absolute sweetheart and an incredible make up artist. She made the wedding day easy and enjoyable and made us all very pretty!!

Christiane did the makeup for my wedding in the 8th August and it was fantastic, I could not have asked for more!
She was so patient during my trial as I decided what I wanted and she has the most amazing colour matching and all of my bridesmaids looked stunning.
She took the time to provide makeup to make each of my girls complexion.
If you want makeup that will make an impact then Christiane is your woman!!!

Simply the best! This is my second time with Christiane. On this occasion I had a make up lesson and I wasn’t disappointed. She puts you at ease immediately and I left feeling and looking like a million dollars. I can’t recommend this ladies services enough.
Regardless of age she caters for all and for all occasions.

5 * all the way for the lovely Christiane. I was a little apprehensive about having my make up done for the 1st time with some one I didn’t know but after meeting Christiane I was made to feel welcome right away and any apprehension soon disappeared. I had several compliments about my make up for my Hen Night and will definitely be using Christiane again …Thank you Christiane, you are a very talented young lady and will go far xxx

The lovely Christiane done my bridal party makeup. We all couldn’t have felt or looked any more amazing than we did.

Definitely a 5 Star makeup artist.

Chrisitiane did my makeup for a very special wedding. She was so lovely and wanted to know what I had in mind for my makeup. She did a fantastic job because she made sure she used all my favourite colours and that also matched my dress. I was over the moon with my makeup and I would strongly recommend her! I have already booked Christiane to do my prom makeup and I can’t wait. So Christiane I thank you so much for my beautiful makeup I couldn’t of been more pleased!

Great service and very friendly. Christiane did my make up for graduation and it stayed in place all day despite 30 degree heat! Would highly recommend.

I had a makeup lesson by Christiane, and I was blown away how beautiful she made me look, Christiane really takes her time and explains everything step by step.
I really learned a lot and would definitely recommend her. My daughter is now looking forward to Christiane teaching her all about how to apply make up as soon as she is old enough.

Makeup done for my best friends wedding and it was beautiful and lasted the whole day in the heat!

Christiane did our bridesmaid make up. She was amazing & very professional. She kept all of us calm and collected throughout. Christiane is very talented and we all looked and felt amazing. She has a huge range of products and discusses what you would like beforehand. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a makeup artist.

Thank you so much, Christiane. Xx

Christiane is an incredible make-up artist. My ‘40th face’ looked amazing & I had so many compliments about my eyes especially. She fit me in with very short notice, communicated with a high level of professionalism & was just so calming & gentle as she did me up! She knew which colours would suit my skin tone & dress & then gave advice; teaching me tricks I’d never have even thought about. I highly recommend the services of Christiane xx

Christiane did my daughter’s make up for her prom and we were over the moon with the results. She listened to exactly what my daughter wanted, she made her look absolutely stunning and her attention to detail was incredible. As well as being friendly and welcoming, Christiane is an extremely talented make up artist, she is highly knowledgeable and very professional. I can’t recommend Christiane highly enough and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Many thanks Christiane!

Christiane is amazing, such a talented make up artist and is so flexible to whatever you want/need.
She did my make up in the morning and I was still recieving compliments on my make up at 1am! Will definitely be going back and can highly recommend xx

I was lucky enough to have Christiane do my wedding make up a few weeks ago and we were not disappointed. Not only is she beautiful inside and out she is so talented. Everyone was catered for getting exactly what they wanted and we received so many compliments. I would recommend Christiane to anyone! x

I have never had my make up done professionally and I can definitely say I will be using Christiane again!!! She was so lovely, so easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable, I absolutely loved my make up, I was so sad when I had to take it off at the end of the night but it lasted all night and looked perfect for my birthday ! Can’t thank her enough! Xxxx

Christiane did my makeup and 5 bridesmaids for my wedding on Saturday 9th June! All I can say is that she is fantastic and did an amazing job! We had so many compliments throughout the day and night, our makeup lasted all day and I would highly recommend. Christiane was so patient, she did exactly as we asked and I honestly couldn’t fault her one bit! Thank you so much for making my day extra special xxxx

Cannot put into words how excellent Christiane is! Always does a great job and you leave feeling amazing.

I cannot stress enough how wonderful Christiane is. She did me and my bridesmaids’ makeup and we were all amazed at her talent. My bridesmaids all did not have very precise ideas of what they wanted, but for each of them she took on board their vague suggestions and came up with perfect outcomes. I had a makeup trial so I already knew what I was having, and on the day it was amazing. We all loved our makeup! And Christiane is really lovely!

Christiane is a wonderful person and helped me a lot with a beautiful make up. I feel and look wonderful x

Can’t thank you enough for making me up at the weekend. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day and night. Your service was also excellent, from initial discussions to turning up bang on time. Thanks again x

Cannot recommend Christiane highly enough! My experience from start to finish was brilliant, Christiane is extremely professional and listened to exactly what i wanted. My make up look outstanding at the event I had people who didn’t know me commenting on my make up. I will definitely be a return customer!

Christiane was amazing! She done my make up for a special occasion and listened to exactly what I wanted. Everyone there was commenting on how lovely my make up looked. Definitely recommend thank you xx

I had a great time, Christiane is really helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend!

Christiane done a casual glam look for me and I loved it! She made sure she knew what I wanted and made me look amazing, really happy with it x

I was so impressed with my first visit with Christiane I just keep going back. She’s friendly, reliable, professional and very talented. I would highly recommend her for both nails and make up.

This girl is amazing. Always gets my make up spot on. I give her a challenge every time and she always succeeds and does better than the pics I show as a guide. She’s down to earth and very professional. Her studio is gorgeous. Can’t recommend her enough.

Christiane is a lovely, friendly and professional person who puts you at ease and listens to what you want, whilst making helpful suggestions and offering great advice. I wanted help with my make up as my skin has become drier and shows the usual signs of age, with a few wrinkles and brown age spots. Christiane showed me how to apply a range of products to handle this and I left feeling a million dollars. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for your help.

Amazing make up Artist!
I am so happy and cannot recommend Christiane highly enough to anyone looking for a makeup artist.
Thank you so much Christiane! x

I visited Christiane in Dec 2017 for some Special Occasion Makeup – for a work Christmas do! Christiane put me at ease straight away and ran everything by me as she went making sure I was happy! I couldn’t recommend Christiane enough and I can’t wait to find my next excuse to go and visit her and get all glammed up again!

Christiane did my wedding make up along with my Bridesmaids and Mum. She is truly talented and we were over the moon with her work. She is a true professional and such a lovely lady, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her for any future occasions. If you are fortunate enough to book her, you won’t be disappointed! She is AMAZING ?

Christiane did a great job. Loved how my makeup lasted throughout the day. Shes friendly and polite. Would love to see her again.

I was instantly put at ease and made to feel very comfortable. I came out looking and feeling a million dollars. Can’t recommend Christiane enough.A true professional.

Brilliant makeup artist and so helpful throughout!

Amazing make up artist, very professional and talented. Made me feel very comfortable, would highly recommend x

Christiane did my make up for my 18th birthday party and it was absolutely stunning – I couldn’t have asked for anything more! She was lovely and friendly and I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to do your make up ?

Christiane did a splendid job doing my makeup for my graduation, it was exactly what I wanted. She is very professional and hospitable and shows you every step of the makeup process. Would recommend Christiane to everyone.

Christiane was brilliant in all aspects. From the moment I contacted her until we finished the makup lesson. She is kind and polite.I felt very comfortable and welcome. She was very helpful and she took her time to explain everything I wanted to know (I had lots of questions lol). I have hooded eyes and I have never really had the right eye makeup but during the lesson I learnt so much so all I have to do now is practice. However I enjoyed it that much I will definitely go back for another lesson. Thank you very much Christiane!!!

I would highly recommend Christiane she is very professional and friendly. After years of being stuck in the 70s I now know how to apply makeup properly thank you so much for teaching me x

Christiane did an excellent job for my wedding and I felt amazing with her make up on. Christiane is very professional and offered so much advise and help with my dilemmas leading up to the day.
I would recommend her in a heartbeat ?

I booked Christiane to do mine and my boyfriend’s mums make up for a wedding. She was absolutely amazing! Our make up was so lovely, we had compliments all day on how lovely our make up was! Christiane was so nice and the service was excellent! Thank you so much and we will be sure to book you again x

Thank you for making me feel so fantastic the whole evening ! Everyone was complimenting my make up from the moment I left the house. You made me feel very comfortable in your beautiful home. Look forward to seeing you again very soon xx

Christiane did my makeup for my wedding and I cannot speak more highly of her. From the minute I got in touch, Christiane was professional, approachable and just so easy to talk to. I had a couple of trials as I was a little indecisive about what I wanted and she was nothing but patient. On my wedding day she was absolutely wonderful, put me at ease, talked me through and made sure I was happy with everything as she went along. She even stepped in and helped my sister out who was struggling with her eyebrows! I was so happy with my makeup on my wedding day I felt amazing and had so many compliments. I would recommend Christiane to anyone, she is so talented and just genuinely so easy to get along with. Thank you so much for making my wedding makeup perfect xxx

I was recommended Christiane by a friend and was not disappointed. It was quite clear from the start that Christiane was a total professional which put me at ease to trust her recommendations. I was absolutely thrilled with the end result and was gutted to have to take it off at the end of the evening. Friends have asked about my makeup since so I am sure she will be hearing from them as well as me in the future. Thank you Christiane x

I went to Christiane to have my makeup done for a Christmas party. It is the first time I have ever had this done professionally and I chose Christiane from the reviews and pictures on her site and I was not disappointed. She is very friendly and her salon was set up very nicely, it felt very relaxed. I loved the end result, me but a glam version which is exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Christiane to anyone wanting to look good for their special occasion!

I chose to pick Christiane to do my make up after seeing all of the positive feedback on her page and I agree with every single one. Christiane is really friendly and we chatted and giggled from start to finish. I’m so nervous when it comes to my make up as I don’t always wear loads unless it’s a special occasion but what I liked most is I was asked on each section if I liked what she had done and if not what I would want differently, but I liked everything she was doing. Everyone loved my make up, including me and I will definitely be going back in the future. Thank you x

I booked Christiane to do my makeup and nails before a big night out. I don’t usually wear much make up and so turned up not really knowing what I wanted. I gave Christiane free reign to do what she thought would suit me best and she didn’t disappoint. I left feeling and looking amazing and I received compliments all night! Moreover the make up lasted through till the early hours of the morning. My Shellac Nails were done with care and precision and were long lasting. Christiane is extremely talented and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be using her again.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Christiane doing my wedding make up for me.
From the start when I contacted her she was nothing but professional and made me feel at ease and I knew I was in safe hands.
The whole experience was fantastic down to the appointment reminders.
I went to her studio and was made to feel so welcome. Christiane listened to what I would like and would talk me through what she was doing and checking that I was happy with the look on various stages.
On my Wedding Day Christiane helped make me feel so special . I absolutely loved my make up and had so many compliments.
I feel like I not only now have a great makeup artist but I have also made a friend x

Very lovely and professional, great communication throughout the booking and in the run up to the appointment with her squeezing me in due to me contacting her at late notice! My special occasion make up looked amazing and I had so many compliments from everyone. Will definitely be using her again in the future.

My friend and I decided to book a lesson with Christiane after reading all the glowing testimonials on her as well as being very impressed by all her qualifications. We both felt we had become very “set” in the way we did our make up. The communication and response from Christiane was excellent and very quick!. Her salon is beautiful and very clean. What a fabulous experience. We told her she had her work cut out with us, but wow – we had a great afternoon. She taught us both how to contour – with amazing results as well as how to do smoky eyes and evening make up. We have both already decided we need to go back in the New Year for another lesson. Thank you Christiane, if only we could clone you and bring you home with us xxxx

On Saturday I had my makeup done by Christiane for my Christmas party. I turned up not knowing what I wanted, leaving her to do what she thought would suit me best. She was so professional and did my makeup beautifully! I got lots of lovely compliments at the party, I will be a regular from now on xxx

I’ve recently had my make up done by Christiane and all I can say is wow! She is a true professional and is amazing at what she does. I will definitely be returning to have my make up done again.

Christiane did my make up for a photoshoot and did a fantastic job. I showed her a picture of what I’d like and she matched it almost identically (obviously so it would work for my features) . Would highly recommend her.

Christiane did my make up for an important London event and all I can say is wow! I couldn’t have chosen a better person for the job. She is very professional and very skilled,the studio is pristine and welcoming so the experience overall was just amazing. I felt very pampered and definitely will be back there again soon!

Had my make up done for my friends wedding. Communication from the start was brilliant, all professional, very accommodating to what I wanted. My make up was amazing, not heavy at all, it was perfect, everything I had hoped and more. Very friendly service and she took her time to, wasn’t rushed. Felt like a VIP! Would use again for sure and recommend to everyone! ?????

Christiane is not only very talented and professional but an absolute pleasure to be around. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel at ease from the moment I met her. My makeup was complimented all day and it stayed looking fresh until the last song was over.
I will be recommending Christiane to everybody and wouldn’t hesitate to call her for my next event.
Thank you Christiane!!

I would 100% recommend Christiane.
She was so professional, being very patient as I was incredibly indecisive about what to have done.
I was completely relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed my daughter’s wedding day , not having to worry about my makeup.
Thank you so much Christiane x

Fabulous manicure using CND Shellac with Christiane last week. They still look amazing. Huge choice of colours with choice of matt, gloss or pearl topcoat, and glitter too if you wish? . Will defintely be coming back again. Going for bolder colours and glitter next time ?

My daughter had her Birthday Party with Christiane yesterday. She absolutely loved it! She learnt loads about how to apply makeup, what brushes to use and Brands, which the girls all loved. Very professional and I learnt a lot myself too. Thank you.

I went to Christiane for the first time a couple of days ago to get a set of gels put on. I’ve never been more pleased with my nails and they’ve lasted longer than any other set I’ve had, normally my others chip off within two days. They feel so strong and healthy, not to mention the beautiful colour! She has a great selection of colours and glitters, so there is something for everyone. I love the fact there is an option to add glitter as normally other salons don’t do this. Usually, my gels look bumpy and uneven, but these look perfect. I’ve already booked in for my second set and I will definitely become a regular! Highly recommend Christiane!

I visited Christiane to get my nails done. Christiane is very professional and did a great job. I am very happy with my nails and I will be returning. Thank you x

Thank u Christiane for doing a lovely job with my manicure. Had a lovely choice of colours and decided on a pretty sparkling one. Christiane was very professional and will definitely be returning ?

I visited Christiane twice in two days to get my makeup done, each time I left feeling amazing and confident, the second time I bought my mum along with me who also got her makeup done and absolutely loved it. Christiane talked me through each product she used and how she was using them and took my ideas and tailored them to my skin tone and skin type.

If this wasn’t enough she then matched my makeup to my hair and my lipstick to my shoes. She also covered up my mum’s tattoo!

I was so impressed with her skill, professionalism and friendly manner. We can’t wait to find another excuse to get our makeup done!

I always try to find make up artists that give you full coverage and an overall glamourous look. I found Christianes Instagram and was so impressed with her work. I had my makeup done for my partners surprise 30th party. Christiane is very professional, with a great studio setup. Christiane knows what will suit you, has a wide range of products and is amazing at makeup. I had so many lovely compliments. I have already booked my next appointment for my Christmas party! 10/10 🙂

I loved having Christiane doing my makeup, she is absolutely fab and I highly recommend her. She listens to what you would like and is able to incorporate that into what suits and looks good on you. Not to mention, she has all the products you could possibly want to try out and sample, so you can get an idea of what works for you without splashing out on a product first.

Christiane also made my broken and brittle nails look amazing again all ready for my holiday! The selection of colours and glitters are to die, definitely recommend! Xx

Had a trial before hand and Christiane created the perfect look. Didn’t have to change anything. Very professional and answered all the questions I asked. Will 100% be using her again. Such a lovely girl and so so talented.

Christiane did my makeup for a friends wedding, she was very welcoming, kind and professional. I was more than pleased with the results and had many compliments throughout the day. I didn’t even need to reapply any make up as it lasted throughout. I would highly recommend to anybody wanting make up done for a wedding or special occasion. If i have an event in the area again i will definitely be contacting Christiane!!

I was really apprehensive about having someone else do my make up, but always wanted it done. I’d had bad experiences in the past so was just unsure. However I can say that has completely changed! My makeup was absolutely stunning, I had so many compliments and I really did feel beautiful. Everything was exactly as I had asked. Christiane really listened to my points of concern, i.e., skin redness / coverage – my skin looked flawless!! I cannot thank you enough I will never go anywhere else and can happily and comfortably recommend you as the best!! Thank you for making my day extra special!

Very welcoming lady, in a lovely setting so I felt very relaxed from the start. It was the first time having my make up professionally done so I was nervous, however the end result looked fabulous. Highly recommended. Thank you again!

So Pleased with my Make up. Everyone commented on how nice my skin looked.
Make up stayed put all day.
Christiane was Fabulous.
I will be returning in the future.
Many Thanks

I had my nails done along with my mum . We had such a great time and got long lasting nail varnish. We had so many choices to pick from and got the ones we loved. We were so pleased with our nails and definitely recommend Christiane for every event and family and friends. Thank you so much Christiane.

I was travelling to Sandhurst for a special occasion and chose Christiane based on her excellent reviews. I’ve had my makeup done numerous times in London, but it is a little daunting going to someone new for a special occasion without having had a trial first. I needn’t have been worried. Christiane is so intuitive and has an exceptional eye for colour and style. As well as taking the time to listen and understand the look that I wanted to create, she also advised me on slight changes to better suit my features and her attention to detail is amazing. I was so pleased with the final result and would highly recommend Christiane to anyone needing a makeup artist, you won’t be disappointed. Christiane, thank you so much for your patience and for making a fabulous day even better. I just need another event in the area so that you can do my makeup again.

My daughter has been absolutely buzzing since her makeup lesson today. Christiane instantly put her at ease and taught her makeup application from start to finish, giving time for questions and encouraging her to apply her own makeup under full instruction with patience and encouragement. My daughter said it was “the best birthday present ever” and came away with a confident swagger in her step. She now has a full list of products used and a huge wish list which I am sure she will work her way through. Thank you so much Christiane xxx

Christiane did mine and my bridesmaids makeup on our wedding day. You really are amazing at what you do and a true artist. Me and the girls looked amazing and were over the moon. And to top it off you really are one of the nicest people I have ever met and I’m pleased to say that I have also made a lovely friend too. Thanks so much ? Xxx

Christiane did my make up for a special occasion and I absolutely loved it. Everyone commented on it and I was extremely happy with the service and how friendly Christiane was.
I have made two further appointments!!!

Thank you so much.

A fabulous lesson!!!! Cannot recommend Christiane highly enough. I found Christiane via her website and was slightly nervous about the lesson as very much a novice with make-up. Christiane made me feel
So comfortable and explained all the techniques used, colours that best suited me and gave guidance when it was my turn to apply!!! Left with my face looking fabulous and a list of products recommended.

Christiane is so knowledge, friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be recommending her to friends !!!

Thanks so much Christiane!

I initially met Christiane when she did a Special Occasion Makeup for me a few months ago and more recently for a makeup lesson. Christiane is a true professional and an absolute perfectionist. I have never met anyone who has quite as much passion for their work. Would highly recommend Christiane for any occasion.

Had my make up done today by Christiane for the first time after travelling down from Scotland for a festival themed party. Felt at ease the moment I arrived and Christiane managed to create the look I had in mind perfectly! Attention to detail was fantastic, went above and beyond! Can’t wait to come back down to come again! Couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you so much ❤️

Just had a very interesting demo from Christiane with her mother as a willing model. All 20 of our club members aged between 70 and 93 found the demo useful and informative.
All off to the shops to replace our old make up and will be trying all the tips before showing off our new glamour tonight at Bingo.
Many thanks and worth other groups booking a group session. Ann

Christiane did my daughters make-up for prom and I cannot thank her enough as she did such a smashing job.
My daughter had been let down last minute and Christiane squeezed us in only with a weeks notice. She was very helpful, professional and calming on the prom day. She also listened to my daughters needs.
We were both very happy with the result.

I couldn’t not take the opportunity to post a review for Christiane. I was devastated to be let down at the last minute by a makeup artist I’d booked for a very special occasion during the week. I’d already heard about Christiane and after seeing her work and all of the recommendations on her website I messaged her to see if she could help. Unsurprisingly she was already completely booked, but Christiane then offered to open up an extra appointment really early in the morning to be able to see me. I really couldn’t be more grateful. As well as being an exceptional talent, she is so friendly, professional and extremely calming. The appointment was so relaxing and everyone thought I looked amazing on the day. Although I was very stressed at the time, I couldn’t be more happy that being let down resulted in me meeting Christiane instead. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you again Christiane.

Christiane has done my makeup on numerous occasions and without a doubt is the best makeup artist you will ever find! Not only is she so talented at what she does but she listens to what you want. She is very professional but also makes you feel at ease and is extremely easy to talk to! The quality of the makeup is outstanding. She made me look and feel gorgeous. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a makeup artist. From a night out to a wedding she is your girl!

I had been let down by 2 make up artists and found Christiane by a recommendation.. And I can honestly say I think it was meant to be! I was so happy with the service from the minute me and my Nan (she loves to come with me) stepped into Christiane’s studio. She was so welcoming, professional and smart. I was given a glass of prosecco.. how much better can a service get! – Every step of my make over Christiane showed me and explained each product she was using and how it will benefit the final look. I have found a make up artist for life and will always always come back. Being a beautician myself I always like to see how to up my game and hands on heart I was shown a truly amazing service by a wonderful lady!

Christiane did my wedding make-up.
Was the first time I met her and, as I hadn’t had a trial, I was a bit nervous.

I was so impressed by her professional attitude and patience that I would recommend her to everyone.

Thank you Christiane,

Christiane did my daughter’s makeup for her Prom. We had a trial to determine the look she wanted to go with her dress and were completely satisfied on the day when it all came together. We will be booking Christiane again and would not hesisitate to recommend her services. Thank you Christiane

Christiane did a beautiful Shellac Luxury Pedicure for me before my holiday. I had to write a review because I was so pleased with it! Christiane is so friendly and professional and recommended a Chrome finish which I had never tried before and I absolutely loved the end result. She stocks such a huge range of colours and finishes and is so good at recommending what will look good. I’ll definitely be recommending Christiane to my friends. Thank you so much Christiane, I can’t wait for a Special Occasion as I’ll definitely be coming to you for my Makeup as well, your work looks amazing and the appointment really was such a treat.

Christiane is such a lovely person, and amazing at what she does!! Would 100% recommend her to anyone for any occasion, loved my look so much and everyone else I’ve seen her do also look incredible. Thank you sooo much!!

Really recommend Christiane!

My makeup looked exactly how I wanted and looked really lovely. It also lasted the whole night with no mess, the thing being great about that is I was up dancing, singing and taking photos and it stayed set in place, which was amazing! And having my makeup done was great as Christiane  is so nice and sociable! Thank you for everything ?

I had my make up done for a friend’s wedding. Christiane is a lovely, friendly and very professional person. I’m not great at make up so left colours etc up to Christiane and she did an amazing job. I’ve already booked my next appointment and would definitely recommend her.

Christiane was kind enough to do my younger sister’s prom makeup at her Sandhurst studio at quite short notice, and I have to say she was amazing!
She was so warm and welcoming, and took the time to work out what skin type she had, what colours would suit her tone and even colour matched the glitters and shadows used to the colour of her dress!
She genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly and exactly as my sister wanted. Throughout the appointment she was also explaining new products and giving tips and tricks on how to use them. Not only this, the final look Christiane created was absolutely flawless! I would 100% recommend Christiane Makeup Artistry for a friendly and professional service and cannot wait to book her again for future events.

I visited Christiane earlier this week for a makeup lesson. I wanted to find out what complements my skin now that I’m getter older, as my usual way of doing things were way out of date. I learnt some valuable techniques and she introduced me to some products I have never been confident enough to try before.
Thank you so much for the lesson and I’m looking forward to trying things out at home.

Oh my! Fabulous 90 minutes and advice. My daughter wanted some make up advice and sooo enjoyed herself. Christiane is a delightful artist whose passion shines through. I loved that she wrote down products used and after matching my daughter finally found a foundation colour that suits her. Christiane actually goes out of her way to source products you can’t find and advises ways to get them.

Totally 110% recommend.  I’m just a bit worried I now have a huge shopping list ?

Christiane did my make up for my brothers wedding, what an amazing job she did! I loved it, she listened to my requests and got it spot on. Everyone complimented my make up, so pleased.
Looking forward to another occasion now so I can get my make up done again!

Christiane, lovely , friendly and very professional. Love my make up, booked in again for July for a wedding 🙂

Christiane came to my flat to do my makeup before I went to a Wedding. She was very professional and friendly. She did a fabulous job with my makeup! Will be recommending her to friends and family. Thank you!

My friend and I had our special occasion make up done by Christiane and I can honestly say it’s the best make up I’ve ever had done. Christiane is professional, friendly and extremely talented. She listened to what we wanted and I looked exactly how I wanted to look. I will definitely be back. Thank you Christiane for making me feel amazing!!

Had my makeup done for a special occasion and Christiane did an amazing job. She knew exactly what I wanted and I felt really good with what she did. Really friendly and knows exactly what she is doing. Will be using her again. X

Christiane was so friendly and helpful! I learned everything I wanted to and more and received lots of compliments afterwards. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their makeup skills as she is very knowledgable.

Christiane did my makeup for my 18th Birthday and on numerous occasions since then. It always looks amazing! I highly recommend her.

Christiane came to my rescue at very short notice.

She was friendly and reassuring with me and took her time to get the look just right.

It was a lovely treat and I found that my views were really taken in to account.

I received many compliments on the night and will definitely use her again.

For once my photos were good! I highly recommend.

I really enjoyed being Christiane’s model at a Group Makeup Tutorial.

Christiane did a great job of talking us through exactly what she was doing, what products were used and why they were important additions to our makeup bags!

I certainly learnt a few new tricks for putting on my make-up.

Good luck with your business Christiane and I am happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking for help, advice or a full make-over for a special occasion.

Christiane is professional,friendly and knows what products are best for your skin.

For all things makeup ,whether it’s for an event or a make up lesson ,I would 100% recommend Christiane.I even got compliments on my makeup the day of my lesson which speaks for itself really.

I run a social group and Christiane has run several sessions for us. She is professional, knowledgeable and tailors her advice to suit individual requirements. She uses a wide range of products to great effect. Getting a group together is a fun and interesting way to spend an evening, highly recommended!

Christiane came to our Ladies Group to give a Make Up Lesson. I must say she was really really good. She gave excellent advice and the make up she applied on one of our number to demonstrate her skills was lovely. I would recommend her to anyone who was wanting their make up done for an occasion. Also the products she used were high quality. Christiane is a lovely person and so easy to talk to. Thoroughly recommended for all ladies of any age.

Christiane did an amazing job on my makeup for my 30th birthday party. It lasted all night and looked great in my photos. I loved the use of glitter on my eyes. Will definitely be using her again.

Christiane did my makeup for a special birthday. Easy to talk to, really listened to what I wanted and introduced me to some beautiful new makeup products. I was so delighted with the finished look. Highly recommended.

I went to Christiane for my Halloween makeup. I wanted skull face paint with glitter for clubbing. I was over the moon and went out clubbing in style. All my friends and family commented on how excellent I looked on the night. Thanks again Christiane highly recommend for all sorts of makeup events 10/10.

Christiane did a group make up lesson for me and some family & friends at my house last year. Even though there was quite a difference in the ages of everyone attending, we all learnt so much and it was great fun. I’ve recommended Christiane to other friends for special occasions and prom make up and they’ve all been really pleased with her work and how relaxed she makes everyone feel.
