"The make-up demonstration you gave us was very well received. All the attendees appreciated watching the make-up transformation and you gave us some excellent tips and advice."
Briony,  Charity Adviser

"Thank you very much indeed for the super face-painting you did at our 4 year old’s birthday party!  We much appreciated your artistic talent and range of designs, as well as your calm good humour since pre-school children can be a moody lot and parties are sometimes daunting for them.  Having you there was a treat for all our young guests but particularly useful as a diversion for those who felt shy about joining in the group activities.  The pirate 'tattoos' and flower designs you painted on their hands and arms were an inspired solution for the few (or their mothers) who were nervous about having their full faces painted."
Genevieve & Pascal

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fantastic job you did for me on my wedding day! As you know I was incredibly anxious about having someone to do my make up for the day (being a bit particular about how I like it done) but I have to say for me it was, without a doubt, one of the best investments I made for the day. I would never have managed to get it done myself with all the comings and goings during the afternoon - no one warns you how hectic it will be - and you did such a wonderful job.

I was so delighted with the finished look and it stayed put for the duration of the day so much so that I didn't even need to reapply my lipstick until after I had eaten in the evening hours later! Amazing!! My mother was also really pleased with the base that you did for her. So thank you so much for everything!"
Samantha, bride

"Hi Rowena, just to say thanks for the make up lesson, I really enjoyed it and feel very confident that I will be able to do your teaching justice on the wedding day.”
Lesley, bride

"It was a pleasure having Rowena on board to do the makeup for my wedding - Rowena was very professional and put me at ease from the moment that I spoke to her - all the way through to my wedding day. She managed to get the make up for my bridesmaid and I perfect - even through we are all different skin tones!  Rowena listened to each one of our requests and was able to recreate it perfectly. It was an amazing joy having Rowena's personal touch to my wedding day - she made me look beautiful"
Buki, bride

"Rowena, just wanted to say thanks so much for everything you did for us on the day.  You were very calming to have around and made the morning go very smoothly.  Myself, mum and bridesmaids were so happy with our make up and got lots of lovely comments throughout the day." 
Laura, bride

“A professional top quality service with a friendly personal touch. Thanks for making my day.”
Rebecca, student

"I suspect I'm not alone in sometimes feeling less than confident about my use of make-up, but finding the prospect of being 'made-up' by someone else abit intimidating. That's why I've found it a real joy to have the benefit of Rowena's services. She has a wonderfully light touch and such a reassuring manner that I always feel in completely safe hands."
Amanda, Student

"Rowena did my make-up for my work Christmas party and it made a huge difference to have a fresh look that complimented my outfit rather than my usual efforts! She made me look natural but glamorous plus gave me loads of tips on how to do my own make-up better.
It also felt good to be pampered rather than rush about before a big night out and as a result I arrived in a calm state and had a great night."
Kate, project manager

"Like many women, I had a draw full of cosmetics that I liked in the shop but didn’t like when I got them home. I never seemed to get the colours just right. Rowena showed me great colour pallets and streamlined my make-up routine. Since I travel so much, it is great to know exactly what to take in my bag. Now my make-up always looks fab and I am ready for any occasion."
MJ, travel writer

"Rowena, thank you for doing my make-up recently. It was rejuvenating and very refreshing. I found the new tips and methods of application very easy to apply - so much quicker in the mornings. My friends and family have commented on my new look of confidence and I’ve even passed on some of your beauty tips."
Suzanne, engineer and healer

"Just to say thank you so much again for doing my make up, it was so good to have the opportunity to see something someone else has created, I really appreciated it."
Sara, Uplift therapy

"Rowena’s expert advice on colour and application gave me the confidence to use make-up in new ways that brought life to my face."
Sara Jane, novelist

"I am confident about my daytime look and needed advice on make up for "a special occasion". I wanted a stronger, brighter look without overdoing it. Rowena gave me great advice as well as clearly demonstrating how to achieve my desired look."
Christine, solicitor

“We had a lovely day yesterday and we were both extremely pleased and impressed with our make up!”
Trish, company director

“It was a great pleasure working with you. Your work is very impressive and I really like the way our work fused together nicely.”
Angela, hair artist

“Rowena you made me look awesome, you’re really talented. I had a great time."
Ann, model

“Rowena, you have a magic touch. We are safe in your professional and creative hands. With your eye for detail I am truly confident in your skills. My daughter and I were very comfortable and I know I can recommend you for amazing makeovers and photo shoots. Thank you so much you really do give a thousand percent.”
Deb, Kinesiologist

"Rowena listens. She transformed me from a dull looking sixty year old into a woman radiating confidence - I even walked taller. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to all my friends."
Liz, Auctioneer and Fine Art Valuer

"It was great working with you. I loved the make up: the choice of colours, the fresh, romantic look and the application process. Honestly, it was like a visit to a spa! I think you could add yet another angle to your work: relaxation through make-up and hair!"
Alicja, fashion and photographic model

"Your great skill is in assessing your clients as individuals, then choosing make-up that will enhance their appearance as individuals rather than giving them the current “clone” look. Being made-up by you felt like a collaboration with someone who is fascinated by the colour and texture of make-up and how it can be used to create a personal look. In the hour spent with you I had imbibed a great deal of information about method and tools and left with a detailed face chart to remind me of what I should be doing, but the experience really felt like a fun morning spent with a friend. Thank you for your educative but not prescriptive approach. And by the way, I smiled all the way home and for most of the rest of the day."
Elizabeth, Writer

"This lady’s workmanship is first class. I am a woman nearing 53 years old and she made me look like a woman in my late 30s.  She is a perfectionist in the true sense of the word, with an attention to detail that is unsurpassed! Not only that, she is fun to be with, friendly and made me feel totally at ease. She captured the true essence of me, asking questions about what look I wanted, and stuck steadfastly to my brief. She works with a brilliant photographer, Alvaro Mari Thompson, and together they make an excellent team. I would have no hesitation in recommending either of them for acting work, camouflage, weddings and themed parties. You want the look, she’ll create it for you!"
Chrissie, Actress www.myspace.com/chrissielane

"I hired Rowena on very short notice to work on a short film project. She impressed me right away at the interview by her professionalism and enthusiasm. Rowena was very easy to work with on set and pitched in with other areas, whatever was asked of her. I would have no reservation in hiring her again." 
Michael, Producer/Director

"Thanks Rowena for giving me new fresh ideas for my day time look by suggesting fabulous products from many different ranges. I've already bought some of your suggested products and I am really enjoying a different look. You also motivated me to get rid of all my old and out of date make-up products so my make-up bag is a lot lighter now!"
Sarah, solicitor

“I chose to work with Rowena at Alternative Fashion Week because of her prompt, professional response. From day one she was totally dedicated to the collection and together we put together thorough plans of what we both wanted the collection to look like. On the morning she arrived bright and early (way before me!) and secured a place in the make up tent. This meant that even though I was running late I was secure in the knowledge that we had a space to do the make-up comfortably. The make-up Rowena did on my models suited the collection perfectly and really helped to emphasise the look I wanted. Throughout the whole experience Rowena was approachable, friendly and very professional and it was a pleasure to work with her.”
Nikki, designer

“I have used the same basic
colours and types of make-up for many years and really had very little idea of what sorts of products are available these days. Rowena showed me how to use different colours and explained the various products she used in an easy and accessible way - and without making me feel daft, as many of the orange women behind make-up counters in department stores usually do! I was completely amazed by the end result and couldn't stop looking at myself for some time!”
Meeta, Lawyer

“Rowena turned up in plenty of time and
understood the look I wanted exactly. She worked very hard and quietly got on with it, I hardly spoke with her as I knew I could trust her. The faces were exactly right and looked fabulous, especially considering she had so many to do in such a frantic and busy backstage situation, with a very limited time frame. All in all it was just amazing to have someone whom I could rely on so I could just not worry about that side of things. I was very very lucky to have found her.”
Emma, designer/stylist/performer

"It was such a revelation to get a better understanding of today's make-up having been stuck in the 1980s for so long - and the results were truly satisfying. It has given me so much more confidence to try new things and the whole experience was good fun too."
Kim, consultant

"Rowena was fantastic to have on set. She captured the fifties style make-up and hair whilst still keeping to the overall art design and tone of the film perfectly. She was totally on top of her tight schedule. It was the first shoot I have had where we weren't waiting for make-up. Great to work with."
Vanessa, writer and director

"A graduate from the London School of Beauty and Make-Up with a Diploma in Fashion, Photographic and Media Make-Up, it is not easy to deny that Rowena shows the beginnings of a promising talent… A fabulous make-up artist in the making, Rowena’s career seems certain"
Kyzar Chic Press Pack

"It was great to work with Rowena, she maintained a very professional yet personal approach to the photo shoot. Her creative input was fantastic, I really appreciated her suggestions as I already had enough to worry about!"
Feng Ho, fashion designer

"Rowena, just wanted to say thanks so much for everything you did for us on the day. You were very calming to have around and made the morning go very smoothly. Myself, mum and bridesmaids were so happy with our make up and got lots of lovely comments throughout the day."
