“What's a girl to do when she's about to get married but doesn't know her mascara from her eyeliner, or her foundation from her primer, and she can't remember when she last saw her hairbrush? Enter Justyna working her magic to save the day!
From the first communication, through to the trial and then the big day itself, Justyna was amazing! Other MUAs had taken ages to get back to me (if at all!), but Justyna was so quick to reply to my first enquiry and so helpful, putting me at ease even though I didn't really know what I wanted!
The trial session was so helpful. I had some vague ideas of what I wanted, but Justyna helped to translate these into reality, as well as bringing her own touches and trying new ideas.
She took detailed notes of what we decided during the trial and also gave me time to think about anything I might like to change ahead of the big day.
Hearing about Justyna's experience of working on film sets, and even using prosthetics, I knew from the beginning that I was in good hands and was going to be transformed!
And transformed I was! Justyna kept to my brief of English Rose and she even managed to tame my frizzy hair into a smooth sleek updo that Jane Austen would be proud of.
I would highly recommend Justyna for both hair and make-up, but also for the way she makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole process.”

“Justyna was an absolutely wonderful makeup artist and a great laugh! I don't wear makeup or know much about it but Justyna was really helpful in guiding me on what would suit my skin tone the best and giving tips for my wedding day, making me feel really confident and at ease. She really listened to what I wanted and brought my vision to life. She also did amazing with my bridesmaids and everyone looked absolutely stunning. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist on their big day.”

“I had my makeup done for the first time today by Justyna, I absolutely love it!!! I don’t wear lots of heavy makeup so wanted something soft and honestly, it doesn’t even feel like I have any on my skin!! The look is exactly what I wanted and Justyna is just lovely, so it was a really relaxing experience. Would 100% recommend.”

“I booked Justyna recently for a music video shoot. She was extremely professional, arrived open time for both the trial and event which was time sensitive. She listened to what I wanted, and was not afraid to try out a few ideas in the trial to get something we really wanted. I wanted a particular aesthetic and look and she really paid attention to the detail, and bigger picture of what I was doing. I would recommend her services for professional artists and musicians.”

“I have been working with Justyna for my maternity photoshoots and been really impressed with her work. She has a lovely way with people and is great at gently guiding clients to achieve the soft glam look that flatters them. I am happy to recommend Justyna and look forward to working with her again!”

“Justyna and I have worked alongside each other for the last year since she left college. She has been a fabulous help to me and my business. Assisting with bigger bookings and taking bookings I cannot do. She is an extremely hard worker and gives 110% every time. I can’t recommend Justyna enough for anyone wanting to book her.”

“I had the most relaxed and comfortable experience with Justyna as MUA on set. I am conscious of my skin care and she paid utmost attention to hygiene and had plenty of patience with removal once we wrapped. She created the most fantastic futuristic make up design and was consistent with checks in between shots so I felt confident about my appearance and could put all my focus on my acting. Will definitely be recommending her to other filmmakers I work with.”

“Dear Justyna, thank you so much for your lovely work for my photoshoot. I really appreciate how you took in what I liked and how I wanted to look for the shoot. Then adding all your professional knowledge and getting to know the colours of the shoot and the purpose, the lightning…everything.
I loved having you as part of the shoot. So professional and lovely and friendly and fun at the same time.
Thanks again, I hope we get to work together again soon.”

“Justyna worked with me on several projects as a make-up and prosthetics artist. She is devoted to the project she is working on, always turns up and does a fantastic job. For our short, Sacred Skin, we had many meetings both in person and online during pre-production to create the perfect look for our characters and needed several prosthetic scars. She gave us wonderful options and took our feedback on board to tweak whatever was necessary, even after we had agreed on the final design as unexpected changes occurred. She built a good rapport with the actors on set and smiled through the long days of shooting. I would always be happy to have her on my crew.”

“Justyna was instrumental during production for our film shoots. During pre-production, she worked closely with our team to help design looks that were not only practical but strengthened our narrative. During the shoots, she was always reliable, trustworthy, and brought great energy to the set. She was able to make members of cast feel comfortable and happy. I worked with Justyna on several projects, across multiple genres, and she brought these professional standards on each occasion. Even in a very high pressure environment, she is calm, collected, and efficient. I couldn’t recommend Justyna enough, for any project - whether it’s film, advertising, fashion, or a night out! All in all, she was a huge part of our productions and helped to shape them into successes.”

“I never have my make up done professionally so I didn’t really know what to expect but Justyna was friendly and sweet right from the start! Throughout the whole process, Justyna kept me informed of what product she was applying and even gave me make up tips throughout!
I was so happy with my glamorous makeup and would recommend Justyna to anyone.”

“Justyna was beyond professional! It was my first time meeting her and she made me feel at ease straight away. She was so helpful as I wasn’t completely sure what look I was after. She took her time in making sure the shades were correct for me and that I was happy. I will definitely be back to see her! My make-up looked amazing! Thanks again.”

“Justyna was punctual, kind, and welcoming, and I felt like we were friends from the second she stepped in. She was well prepared for different makeups and presented her ideas and options, as well as explained in detail how it would look in photographs. At the same time, she was a great listener, actively interested in my questions and the vision I had for the makeup. Justyna dedicated her time to discuss with me the plan for the session, what my expectations are, and what is the plan for my hairstyle and outfit, so she could make sure the makeup would complete the look and the vision I was hoping to create.
The effect went far beyond my expectations, and the makeup made by Justyna gave the final touch to my photoshoot session. I looked like my true self but better with a customized makeup application - natural, yet very professional.”
