“Thank you so much, Emma, for your incredible makeup skills! I truly appreciate the care and attention you put into your work. You not only enhanced my appearance but also uplifted my spirits. I’m genuinely grateful for the experience and how much better you’ve made me feel.”
“I was given a 2 hour lesson with Emma as a gift. It was fantastic. She went through all the application techniques that I needed and I left with clear written instructions and list of recommended products that I’d been able to try during the session. Emma was lovely and immediately made me feel at ease. It was great - I would highly recommend.”
“Emma did fantastic work turning me into the Joker for a fancy dress party I was attending. She did an amazing job converting the reference photo I had into reality. I highly recommend her if you are wanting visual effects makeup done for fancy dress parties, Halloween etc. Emma is highly skilled and the whole experience was very professional. I was extremely happy with the results. Will use her services again!”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the makeup that you did in November! It was just wonderful!
It took me a while to decide which makeup artist to go with, but once I saw your work I knew you were the right one! And you did not disappoint me or my now husband!
And the hair!! Oh my goodness you got rid of my mullet?! I still don’t know how you did that! Just amazing, really!
I never felt so beautiful and confident before in my life!”
“We thoroughly enjoyed the lesson yesterday, so much so, we were out until late last night showing off our new faces. We weren’t overwhelmed as you put us at ease. Given our age, we were concerned we would be asking silly questions and embarrassed about our ignorance. We were so keen afterwards that we headed to the square and bought the lip liner and eyebrow mascara. Thank you, it was lovely meeting and hopefully we’ll meet up again”
“Emma was the most lovely lady who made me feel at ease straight away. She was able to withdraw the image I had in my mind on how I wanted to look at the end of my make-up session by asking me about the dress I was wearing.
I was so amazed how she transformed me, a person who hardly ever wears make-up into a wonderful 1950’s look.
I would recommend Emma to anyone who needs their make-up done.
Thank you so much Emma, I received so many compliments on Saturday night”
“Thank you again, I really enjoyed the lesson and learned a lot. I tried the new methods this morning and really happy with the more natural looking results. First time since the eighties that I have not had eyeliner under my lower lashes. I really lucked out finding you with a google search, your lesson was exactly what I was after, some instruction on how to use make up to enhance features. Your “less is more” advice is spot on, and the help I needed to change some old and outdated habits. My husband said I looked really nice, and he is very honest with his opinions and does not like a lot of makeup. Looking forward to some more experimenting as I get the new brushes and a few more products”
“Emma is an astounding makeup artist, I truly believe Emma is the best among artists within the Newcastle area. Having both previously worked with Emma for a photo shoot and having the pleasure of having my makeup done by her for special occasions, I have no hesitation in recommending her for any makeup challenge. Personally I'm a minimalist when it comes to matters of makeup, Emma was considerate and took great care to achieve beautiful makeup results relevant to my needs. She created a long lasting look that was precisely me. Emma shows high levels of professionalism, she is articulate, punctual and creative.”

“I had a private lesson with Emma as I have always wanted to feel more confident and knowledgable about applying makeup - especially as I have hooded eyes and wear glasses all day.
Emma is amazing. You can really tell she is not only passionate about makeup artistry but also knows the how and why of certain techniques and tones (tailoring it all to my skin and features).
My take-home information sheet will live with my makeup bag and I can’t wait to start practicing.”
“Thank you for doing such a beautiful job on all our makeup for the wedding. You are a true professional and made the morning really enjoyable with your calm and caring attitude :)
I changed outfits and the makeup worked for both :)
Thanks again and keep in touch.”
“It was really wonderful and helpful. I learnt heaps and have already annoyed my partner rambling about my discoveries while he is at work. I would definitely do it again when I’m ready to learn more or as a refresher. Hopefully practising will help me remember but that sheet and your notes definitely help my recollection of the helpful hints and rationale behind what was recommended. Super excited, happy and thankful”
“I was so happy with the makeup that Emma did. The photos turned out really well, I looked like myself, but better and less puffy! Emma is lovely with a very neat and clean setup.”
“I was absolutely thrilled that I chose Newcastle Makeup for my Wedding Day. The calm, friendly and warm presence was a delight on such a joyful morning. We were so impressed by the profound effort to do myself the Bride and my five Bridesmaids within a limited timeframe with such professionalism and attention to detail. The earthly tones and soft colours used captured a unique and truly mesmerizing beauty in all of us. Our happiness and personalities radiated brightly on this perfect day with confidence in the quality products Emma used. Thankyou thankyou thankyou Newcastle Makeup for making this special day truly magical.”
Renae Abbott - Bridal makeup
“All the girls has a great time and loved how the things you showed us are easy to replicate. Many have already made their lists of what they are going to buy and most are going to get some of the brushes you showed us last night.”
“I just want to thank you again for all of your help and flexibility with the changing venue, last minute details etc over the last couple of days. Your patience and positive attitude really made a stressful time seem so much easier. I got so many compliments on my own and bridesmaids’ makeup. I felt super confident and I was so thrilled with how the bridal party looked and Mum was also really chuffed. I really can’t thank you enough.”
“Emma did a makeup lesson for my daughter and myself. Couldn’t recommend her more highly - very informative and helpful. Emma was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable.”
