"Thank you for being so amazing and making us look and feel the best we could be. Everything from the trial to the end of the big day was perfect for us. You made everything so easy and I felt completely relaxed. I know it's what you do and that you've done it so many times before but you did make us feel very special and I'm so very grateful for that! Mum loved having you there and I know that you made her feel so very relaxed too. My wedding photos are such lovely memories to me of what a fun morning we all had together and capture the amazing make up that you did for me, mum and my special girls. Thank you, thank you. I've literally recommended you to everyone!"

"Just a quick note before we shoot off on honeymoon to say a HUGE thank you for your beautiful makeup yesterday! My mum and bridesmaids looked beautiful and I was over the moon with my makeup - it was exactly what I wanted. It was lovely to have you with us on the morning - you were great for the nerves!!"
Kate, London
"Firstly, thank you SO much for everything on the wedding day. Not only was the makeup perfect for everyone, it lasted all day and you were truly wonderful to have around. You were so calming and fun to have around, i've no idea how I would have got into my dress without you, nobody else had a clue!"
Nicola, Cotswolds
"Thank you so much for making up me, mum and the girls for my wedding day. I have been lucky enough to have been 'made up' by several 'A-list' makeup artists in the past, but you surpassed their results AND you listened, which was key. I felt completely at ease with you and knew you understood where I was coming from so it was no suprise that I loved my look! Everyone agreed that the morning would not have been the same without you there, with your relaxed, happy approach. I've never seen a group of women so thrilled with their makeup, which really did look as good at 1.45am as it did at the beginning of the day - surely a miracle!"

"There's nothing I hate more than having my photo taken, so when we were told we needed new head-shots taken for Brides Magazine, you can imagine how delighted I was. Not! I actually don't like having my makeup done because I am so picky and i've endured some hideous journeys back to my office after bad department store trials (why is it that when you say fresh, dewy and natural, you walk out with thick foundation, orange eyebrows and sticky brown lip gloss? Arrgh!) BUT,ever the good student to my own editorial teachings, I know that professional makeup is key to looking good in the camera's flash. I was straight on the phone to Sarah Brock, a bridal makeup artist who works on our makeover and cover shoots, who is not only a thoroughly adorable person but she is very good at natural looking makeup. She did makeup for the whole Brides Magazine Team - Sarah we salute you!"
Alice du Parcq, Beauty Editor, Conde Nast Brides Magazine
"A special thanks to Sarah who was brilliant & did a great makeup for me for the Elle Style Awards"
Acting Editor, Elle Magazine
"I just wanted to thank you for making me feel so special on my wedding day. You did a wonderful job with my makeup along with my bridesmaids and mothers. Everyone loved their makeup and it lasted the entire day and night without any of us having to go near it once! You were a pleasure to work with, both at the makeup trial and on the day. You listened to exactly what I wanted and made me look beautiful on my special day. Nothing seemed to be a problem for you and your timing was without fault. You put us all at ease with your calming presence on the morning of the wedding and were truly professional"
Nicola, Wiltshire
"I wanted to say thank you so so much for my amazing bridal make up last Saturday, I was absolutely delighted with it. It was so lovely to have you there on the morning, you really calmed me down (and my bridesmaids also!) and you made the whole getting ready process so relaxed and enjoyable. You were also an absolute expert helping me get into my dress - thank you so much Sarah"
Claudia, London

"I am writing to thank you for being such a star on our wedding day. I absolutely loved my makeup, I had so many compliments. As you know, I don't really wear makeup, so having a full face of makeup on for my wedding day was quite a scary thought. You completely put my mind at ease and made me feel great whilst still looking and feeling myself. I just loved my eye lashes! My makeup gave me the confidence to put that massive dress on and walk down the isle feeling good about what I looked like. For that I will be forever grateful"
Rosie, London

"I wanted to thank you for doing such an incredible job with my makeup. It lasted all day as you reassured me it would and I loved it. I also wanted to say that your upbeat and positive mentality in the morning saved the day for me. For all my planning I had not expected to feel quite so tense so your help getting me into my dress and also going above and beyond just doing the makeup was just so wonderful and kind - thank you"

" I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say Thank you for all your help on my wedding day.. You were great - and managed to get me into my dress in record time!! Between yourself and Sev the hairstylist, you relaxed everyone that was there and I had so much fun getting ready in the morning, the time just flew. All our guests mentioned that I looked stunning, that was definitely down to you, Sev and the dress. I didn't have to retouch the make up - it stayed put all day. I'll definitely have no hesitation in recommending you if anyone asks for a make up artist"

"Sarah you are so so talented, you made my skin look flawless and you made my face look full just like I wanted, and my cheeks! Everyone who knows me knows how much I adore blusher, and I do sometimes wear too much but you gave my cheeks such a creamy, natural glow. How do you blend like that?! And my eyes looked stunning, the eyeshadow suited me perfectly. And to top it all off my make up stayed put all day! Thank you Sarah so so much, you made me look and feel like a beautiful bride for my special day which turned out to be quite literallly the best day of my life and I'm so so grateful for all your hard work and that you were such a big part of it all! I've never seen my mum look so beautiful, seeing her made up like that literally took my breath away. And my bridesmaids, one word, stunning. Thanks again Sarah, from the bottom of my heart. Words can't describe how happy I am with mine, my Mum's and b'maids makeup on the wedding day. I don't know how anyone could want to do their own makeup on such an important day!"
Gemma, London
