Viorika is fantastic! She did hair and makeup for me, as well as my bridesmaids. I wanted something that would look great in photos, but didn't look cakey or unnatural in real life. She delivered exactly that. My hair looked great too, and everything lasted ALL NIGHT without getting greasy! I couldn't believe it! She also had a different approach to each of the girls, making sure everybody was happy! Anyway, she's great, and made everything so much simpler for me :)

I hired Viorika to do my wedding hair and makeup, and can 100% recommend her to any brides out there. Her hair and makeup skills are amazing and her skills and techniques are modern and up to date (I trialed with other hairdressers who clearly hadn’t learned new techniques in decades and their work looked so old fashioned…). Viorika is not only super professional at what she does, but she’s a lovely, kind person and a calming force during the most stressful time. I could not recommend her more!

It was my third time having my hair and makeup done by Viorika! Hands down the best makeup artist I’ve ever worked with! She always gave honest and professional feedback, used great products and made me look beautiful in the most natural way. Thank you Viorika for making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Viorika went above and beyond. She did makeup for 7 people and everyone was absolutely over the moon. The makeup was stunning and survived a 38 degree day! Super friendly and made everyone so comfortable. I will definitely recommend to all for any occasion!

Viorika was absolutely amazing when she did my make up and my hair for the wedding. She was very professional and exceeded all my expectations. She is a warm, caring person, very easy to talk to. She created a timeless look for me that made me very beautiful and gave me confidence. My make up looked incredible and I received a lot of compliments. I highly recommend Viorika as your make up artist for your special occasion. Thank you, Viorika for making me feel so beautiful on the day!

What are some of the best lipsticks or lip gloss for the big day?

Hi, I want to know which is better lipsticks or lip gloss and what are some the best brands that wont get all over my husband! I normally have dry lips and am looking for shades of pink. Thanks!

Viorika Iliy

Hi there, as weddings tend to last a long time I would suggest you using a long lasting lipstick (my favs are from Nars, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Huda Beauty) and as you did mention having  dry lips I would make sure to moisturise them really well before applying any lip product (using a lip scrub for a week prior to the wedding would also help hips). As to lip glosses - I love the ones from Fenty Beauty, Nars, Dior and also NYX for a cheaper option (none of them feel sticky on the lips). 

How can I ensure great wedding makeup?

Viorika Iliy

It is totally worth having a bridal trial makeup to ensure you are happy with the way it looks in real life and also on photos (a good HMUA will take pics & videos of the final result and can also use a professional light as the lighting will change the way everything looks in photos). I often try different makeup looks on my brides (we can do 2 different eye looks) and we then choose one and all the products that she preferred / worked best. Takes away a lot of stress and worry from the bride on the big day. :) 

Is it wrong to only have my makeup done on my wedding day if my bridesmaid don't want to pay?

Viorika Iliy

Of course not! It's your big day and your HMUA will ensure you feel very special and comfortable.
