I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist on my wedding day. From my trial to the final touches on the big day, Niamh is an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her professionalism and calming presence made the entire experience so relaxed and enjoyable.
My bridal look was flawless - the makeup stayed perfect all day and night, through tears, laughter and hours of dancing! She nailed the balance of glam and elegance, which is exactly what I envisioned.
Beyond her undeniable skill, Niamh went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and confident. My bridesmaids and Mum were equally thrilled with their makeup - each look was customised to suit their individual styles and personalities.
Every on of them looked stunning and more importantly felt amazing! if you're looking for a makeup artist who truly understands how to make a bride look and feel her best - Niamh Frain is your lady! I received (and still receiving) endless compliments on my bridal glow. I genuinely cannot recommend Niamh enough and i feel incredibly lucky to have had her on my wedding day. Not only did I have the dreamiest makeup artist, but having the dreamiest makeup artist from Donegal made it all the more special.

"Niamh was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in Lake Como, and she was nothing short of perfect. She made me feel so at ease the whole time, and I had the best time getting ready because of it. Niamh is incredibly talented, and makes the whole process seem so effortless - she listened to what I wanted, helped me (and my bridesmaids) make decisions and made it very clear that if I wanted anything changed or tweaked to just ask her. Of course, I didn't need to in the end because I was so happy! Niamh was thoroughly professional, whilst bringing a friendly, bubbly energy to the day - she felt like an extension of my bridal party. I am so pleased with her services and I'd recommend booking her immediately for your wedding day!"
