Thanks!!!!!!!!

My maid of honor was responsible for getting the makeup artist for my wedding. We made an appointment with Atenea and I was in love with everything. She was a true professional who is worth every penny. Atenea listened to my requirements and what I wanted and she delivered perfectly. The results were amazing and I looked so beautiful. When my husband saw me he told me right throughout the ceremony how beautiful I looked. Atenea made my wedding day feel special. Thank and I will recommend.

Wedding Make-Up

On your wedding day, you want all the people around you to be nice and easy going and to calm you down. I couldn’t have asked for a more laid back artist. She played calming music and was so patient and accommodating with all my requests, including getting a lot of people’s make up done in a short time (3 bridesmaids, mother of the groom, grandmother of the groom, mother of the bride and myself- tall order, I know). Most importantly, Atenea and her team are amazing listeners. They will nail whatever look you are going for. She did subtle, natural-looking, elegant make up for me and a range of different beautiful looks for everyone else who got their make up done. And, better yet! Her pricing is unbelievably great for what she offers. 10/10, would recommend to anyone and everyone who’s trying to look perfect for a special day.

Atenea is awesome!! Would highly recommend her!

Atenea is the best, my makeup was perfect for my wedding day, and I felt like a beautiful princess the entire day all through the reception. She has a calming effect on everyone around her, including my entire wedding party and especially my mother. She was recommended to me, I am so happy I used her as a makeup artist, she is awesome.

Best decision ever!

Wanted to say thank you to Atenea and her team for making me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful on our wedding day. Tamara’s group is very organaized, professional, and just plain good at what they do. I’m glad I was able to book them and work with a team that was so great!

Simply perfect!

EXCELLENT! Working with Atenea was so easy, from start to finish were simply amazing. I am a no makeup ponytail kinda girl, so it was really fun to get all dolled up for my wedding. I did a practice run with both ladies and was so pleased with their work. My hair was up and perfect all evening. My make up was stunning. It really helped make my wedding a perfect day.

Highly recommended

My experience with Atenea and her team was brilliant from start to finish. They were very flexible in organising the trail around what I wanted, and on the day everything went very smoothly. I absolutely loved both my hair and make up - glamorous and I felt very elegant (for once!) but still looked like me. They listened to what I wanted, but also gave great advice when I was unsure of colours and styles. I'd definintely recommend them to any bride to be. I know my Mum and bridesmaids were super happy with their hair and make up too.

Exactly what I wanted!

I was so happy to have Atenea as part of my wedding day crew! Not only was she super sweet, but affordable, responsive and great at her craft! My make up looked perfect for my wedding day and it was exactly what I wanted! I wanted to ditch the “traditional” wedding day make up and do something a little funky and she was so enthusiastic about it! I 100% recommend Atenea and will definitely be using her in the future! :)
