I booked Mimi for hair and makeup at my wedding this Easter and could not be more delighted. The trial was super thorough and time was really taken to understand what I was looking for - this meant that in the morning of my wedding I was totally confident and could relax and enjoy the process. Mimi was so warm and friendly as well as incredibly professional. I feel incredibly lucky to have chosen such a brilliant, talented make up artist and hairdresser. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again if I had another occasion! More...

Mimi did my wedding make up in Dec 2018 and I would highly recommend her services. We had a make up trial a couple of months before and she spent a long time with me to make sure everything was covered. On the day she was happy to tweak and adjust what I asked to get the perfect look. She did myself, 4 bridesmaids and mother of bride (who all looked amazing). Thank you!! xxx More...

Mimi was my makeup artist for my friends wedding and was amazing therefore when my wedding came around in September there wasn’t even a question of who I would choose to do my makeup. Mimi is so creative and listens closely to the vision you have. Being comfortable with someone in your personal space is a pretty hard task but Mimi has a vibe that makes you feel at ease and completely chilled which is very important on a day that your nerves are at a high. I would recommend Mimi all day long, she is a true professional and an amazing artist. Thank you for helping me create my wedding day look. That won’t be the last you see of me :) x x More...

Mimi did the hair and makeup for myself and two bridesmaids for my wedding this October. She did both beautifully. She was calm and fun throughout and listen to all our concerns. We went to the wedding feeling beautiful, confident and more fabulous versions of ourselves! She patiently and professionally worked through every aspect of the busyness and chaos of a wedding day - changing, energetic flower girls, last minute bridal melt downs! ;-) and when our taxis let us down at the last minute, she even offered to drive us to the venue! She is an absolute angel and I enjoyed meeting her so much. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. If you could six, seven, a hundred star reviews I would. Thank you Mimi from me and the girls xxxxxxx More...

Mimi was recommended to me by my niece after Mimi did all the makeup for her wedding. We asked Mimi to do hair and makeup for my daughter's wedding and banquet including 2 bridesmaids. She was amazing! I was complimented all day long by my friends and family! Thoroughly recommended! Thank you so much Mimi! More...

Mimi did the hair & make-up for myself and a friend for a wedding we were attending and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She listened carefully to what we wanted and the end result was perfect. The make-up felt natural and light, not at all caked on like some of my past experiences and it lasted all night. I felt great and had lots of compliments from friends, I’m already looking for my next occasion to use her! Not only is her make-up kit incredible but Mimi is such a genuinely lovely person too, I felt instantly at ease! Thanks again Mimi :) More...

Mimi came recommended by our wedding photographer. She did makeup for me and my 3 bridesmaids. The products she uses are fab. And such a huge range of brands. All of us wanted something different in the looks we wanted and Mimi achieved it for us. The makeup lasted all day. Even my evening guests commented on my makeup and how good it looked. Mimi is friendly and professional and I would recommend her for any event you're planning. Thanks again Mimi. More...

Mimi did my makeup for my wedding in April and I was so so happy with what she did! I don't usually wear much makeup at all, and felt incredibly indecisive as to what look / colours to go for, as having seen Mimi's portfolio, I knew she could do anything, and so to pick just one look for so many photos was a struggle for me!
As I don't wear makeup every day, I knew I wanted something natural, and I took Mimi's advice as to what would suit me, and by the end of our trial together, I was thrilled with the results and felt really confident that what Mimi had done, was exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. I was quite nervous in the run-up to the wedding but Mimi is so professional, she made me feel very relaxed and calm. I'm not too confident in my appearances and so as vain as it is, the whole hair & makeup thing was what I was most nervous about but on the day Mimi honestly made me feel a million dollars and I got so many complements from my friends and family. We've already got the photos back from our professional photographer and my makeup looks amazing in all of these! Again, I usually squirm at any photo of me but I'm really happy with the way I look in all of them, even the less professional ones, taken by friends and family!
Mimi also did my sister (& bridesmaid) and friend's makeup for the day - they both looked amazing too and have written their own reviews to say how pleased they were. Mimi also did my Mum's makeup, who loved it as well. My Mum has quite sensitive skin and for this reason doesn't ever wear makeup, but the products Mimi used are all hypo allergenic and Mimi's set up is so clean and organised that she instantly put my Mum at ease. Mimi knew exactly which products to use for more sensitive skin.
In summary, we were 4 very very happy girls on my wedding day all thanks to Mimi, and I only feel sad that I will probably never look that good again! Mimi is exceptionally talented and I would recommend her to every Bride to be, she is certain to make anyone look their most beautiful!

Mimi did my make up for my wedding last month as well as my 3 bridesmaids & my mum.
I was thrilled with the outcome! I had a trial beforehand where Mimi tried different products and brands to see what worked best for me, which made the big day completely stress free.
I felt she understood what I wanted and we worked together to achieve what I had envisioned.
She has an amazing talent to see what colours work for different skin tones and create flawless, flattering looks. For example my bridesmaids all have different colourings but their make up was perfectly matched to create a unified look.

Would recommend to others in a heartbeat �
Mimi came recommend to me and what a great recommendation it was. From emailing to get quotes and asking questions, Mimi was prompt with her responses and beyond helpful.
I’d mentioned that I was struggling for someone to do our hair and Mimi gave me some brilliant recommendations (of which I went with one)
I had a trial 2 months before the wedding (April) and Mimi made me feel so relaxed. I don’t generally wear a lot of make up and although I had some idea of how I wanted to look, I was a bit of a blank canvas..(I also loved the make up at the trial that much, that I booked Mimi to do my make up for my hen do, which was perfect and definitely made me feel the part �)
Mimi had me and 3 others to do on the morning of the wedding (June)...she put together a rough time plan based around the hair times and this really helped the getting ready process go so smoothly.
We all looked absolutely beautiful and my bridesmaid and Mum were all really pleased with how they looked. The make up stayed in place all day and looked great on the pictures.
Mimi has a great eye for colours/tones/what works/ what doesn’t...she’s contemporary but classic, with vintage thrown in..if your looking for a make up artist for your wedding/event/special occasion Mimi is the answer.
Thank you so much for being a part of our day and for making me feel and look so beautiful. I had lots of comments during the day and my niece was so impressed she was saying how she wants you to do her make up for her wedding (she’s 11 going on 21 and knows more about make up than me �) if I ever need any make up doing, then I know where I will be going xx

I would 100% recommend Mimi for hair & makeup.
Mimi did hair and make up for my wedding recently and she did an amazing job.
She kept in touch with me from making my booking and right up until my wedding day. Our hair & makeup lasted the whole day and looked fab in all the pics. I had one trial before the wedding.
Mimi completely understood the look I was going for, for my big day which wasn’t the typical bridal look and did a great job.
I would highly recommend Mimi and will definitely book again when I need to look glam.
Thank you so much Mimi, wish we could do it all again x �

Mimi recently did the makeup for myself, my mum and two bridesmaids for my wedding and we all absolutely loved it!
The four of us have very different skin tones and suit different things, and Mimi made great suggestions to make sure we all looked the part without putting anyone out of their comfort zone.
Our makeup lasted all day and looked amazing in our photos, so I’d definitely recommend to anyone!!
We had one trial which really helped to choose our looks, and we also had our hair done by one of Mimi’s recommended stylists. The whole process was really smooth and it took away some of the pre-wedding stress knowing we were in safe hands - I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Mimi did my bridal makeup & hair, some of my bridesmaids & Mother of the bride as a last min request (which didn’t phase her at all!
).
Right from the trial I knew Mimi would be amazing. I showed her a picture of the look I was going for and she nailed it, i’ve never felt so beautiful .
Makeup stayed in place & it looked perfect all night, in all settings (indoor, outdoor etc) and looked great in the photos. I was tempted to not wash my face for the next few days .
Lovely lady, you’ll come away from your wedding day with a new friend.
Thank you Mimi

My mum and I had our makeup done by the amazing Mimi Lomax for my wedding on 1st December.
My mum and I had a makeup trial each a month or so before the wedding.
She even gave some tips about prepping my skin for the wedding day. Loved it when there, but then changed my mind on the type of eye makeup I wanted closer to my wedding date and Mimi completely understood and was more than happy to change it on the day!
On the day she was super relaxed and did my makeup perfectly, even with the changes I wanted from our trial! Absolutely loved it which is exactly what you want on your wedding day, and it lasted all day for all the photos - would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good make up artist!
Thanks so much Mimi! Xxx

Mimi came highly recommended to me by a mutual friend and we were so glad we found her for my daughter's wedding ! From the trial at Mimi's home to the wedding day itself Mimi was professional, communicative and demonstrated that she is a highly skilled make-up artist.
She quickly understood the different looks my daughter and I wanted to achieve for the wedding day and was attentive to any questions or changes either of us had along the way. Mimi uses high-end cosmetic brands and tools and we were able to buy items she used on us for the wedding day - the lipstick she used on me is now one of my favourites! Both my daughter and I were delighted with the perfect wedding day make-up Mimi created for us and it lasted all day and into the evening celebrations with only the need for a lipstick touch-up!
On a personal note, Mimi is a beautiful person who has a lovely gentle manner which added to the lovely peaceful atmosphere during the buzz of the wedding morning in our home. I would recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you again Mimi!

She listens to exactly what you want which is incredibly important for wedding make up. During my make up and hair trial she made great suggestions and adjustments until I was 100% happy. She has a great eye for what works for every individual and is a lovely, relaxing presence on a busy wedding day morning! I would highly recommend Mimi - she has wonderful taste and I feel very lucky to have been able to use her for my wedding.

. it was a risk that well and truly paid off.
Mimi was flexible meeting me at hotels for trials totally understanding my needs for the big day. Mimi adapted the make up to fit my bridal partys needs doing make up for a 20 something all the way to 70 something.
Amazing, well organised, good to be around and worth every penny!

Mimi did the make-up for myself and four bridesmaids. She is great at what she does, highly professional and uses the best products.
..and has so many! She is very organised and sent me across her schedule for the wedding morning way before I had even planned everything for the wedding! Mimi is great with hair too, though we didn’t book to have our hair done, she helped us to select suited styles and add final touches.
We were all thrilled with our make-up which lasted us all day and night. We each have different skin tones which Mimi adapted to, making us look flawless.
She was also extremely calm throughout the morning despite a very frantic bride!
Thanks again Mimi, you’re the best xxx

Mimi did an amazing job with the makeup for my sister's wedding. My sister looked stunning, so I jumped at the chance of having mine done too as bridesmaid! I don't usually wear much makeup but Mimi clearly knows her stuff and encouraged me to try fake eyelashes for the first time. I trusted her completely and was so glad I had, as she kept it natural and it made such a difference for the photos.
