Ailbhe is incredibly talented at what she does and I couldn?t recommend her enough to future brides. Ailbhe did my makeup for my wedding day along with three bridesmaids and my mum. As someone who doesn?t wear makeup that often I trusted her to create a look that I felt comfortable with and she did an amazing job. We all felt beautiful and our makeup lasted all night (despite it being a balmy day in May!). Thank you Ailbhe!

Ailbhe did the make up for my wedding, including myself, my bridesmaids and my mum. She was friendly and professional, and a lovely person to have in the house the morning of your wedding! I had to rearrange my wedding due to COVID and was unable to schedule a make up trial with Ailbhe but that didn't matter at all! All of our make up was flawless and I didn't need to do a single touch up all evening. Ailbhe was flexible in her approach, altering the style of my mum's make up as she isn't used to wearing the same make up as me and the girls. Ailbhe adhered strictly to COVID guidelines which made the very close and personal experience of make up feel very safe! I would definitely recommend her! Thanks Ailbhe.
Response from Ailbhe Lynch - Makeup Artist
Lucy, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I am thrilled to know you were so happy with everything. I was more than happy to create a more subtle look for your mum as I know she isn’t used to wearing makeup and it was really important to me she felt comfortable and like herself! I love to approach everyone’s makeup with an open mind! I’m also so happy you felt safe having your makeup done with me during these strange times. Thank you again. It was a pleasure to be your makeup artist.

Ailbhe is wonderful!! We booked her for myself and the bridal party for my wedding in Sept 2019 as an American bride planning our wedding in Dublin internationally. We were all obsessed with our makeup looks! She did a fantastic job of making us all look our best, highlighting our best features! One of my bridesmaids even commented that her makeup at my wedding was better than hers was at her own. I highly recommend Ailbhe if you're needing makeup professionally done for any event; she's up to any challenge. Thank you again, Ailbhe!

Ailbhe did an amazing job with my makeup for my wedding, along with that of my entire bridal party. She was very clear in her communication, taking detailed notes and asking specific questions about what I had in mind at the trial, and then executing what I envisioned perfectly both at the trial and on our wedding day. My makeup lasted the whole day and night as well. Thank you Ailbhe!
Response from Ailbhe Lynch - Makeup Artist
Amanda, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so happy everything worked out so perfectly for you from your trial to the wedding. Great to hear it lasted so well for you too. I hope you are really well. Thanks again.

Ailbhe was just amazing to have as my make up artist. She did my make up, 2 bridesmaids and 2 mams and they all looked fab! She was very flexible even squeezing me in for a trial the week of the wedding as I had just got home from Australia and was very short on time. However, even if you can?t fit in a trial I wouldn?t panic because Ailbhe works wonders, my skin was so dry after all the flying but none of us had to top up our make up for the whole day and everyone complimented on how great it looked. She is great to have around on the wedding morning so relaxed, I just wish I paid more attention to what products was used cause my make up never looked so good.
Highly recommend, can?t thank you enough Ailbhe

I really don't even know how to start to review working with Ailbhe lynch. If anybody Is looking for a make up artist for their big day stop thinking and just book Ailbhe! She is amazing and so talented. She is also extremely professional and a brides dream to work with x she made our morning so relaxed. She arrived exactly on time and didn't leave until I was getting into the wedding car x I really cannot compliment her enough. One of the best decisions I ever made booking her.

The make up on my wedding day was absolutely perfect, I received so many compliments and the girls were over the moon with theirs, they kept saying how perfect it looked! Ailbhe did an absolutely fantastic job!!! I was so happy with it and she was so patient with me during the trials also.

I'm also so grateful for all the extra help she gave me on the morning from fixing the tan on my feet, helping me with those double sided sticky tapes and even tying the bow on my dress!! She is one in a million and I will be eternally grateful to her! I'm so happy to have had her there. I would definitely recommend Ailbhe to anyone who asks!

From start to finish Ailbhe was a joy to work with. From the moment I got in touch she was very responsive to my emails, was up front about all costs that would be charged and was always friendly and professional.

At my make up trial , she understood straight away the look I was going for and put me at ease and I knew that after my trial I didn't need to worry about my make up on the day.

On the wedding day - Ailbhe arrived ahead of time and she was just so great to have around - she was calm, always friendly and super professional getting all 7 of us done in the morning with plenty of time to spare for touch ups. We all had a great morning together getting ready and there was no need for me to worry about a thing!

My bridesmaids make up and the mothers make ups were just as beautiful as my make up and she took great care with everyone.

As well as doing my make up she gave me lots of great make up advice after my wedding supplying me with the details of all the make up I used.

Everyone commented on the day how beautiful and natural my make up was and I felt a million dollars.

I would highly recommend Ailbhe to everyone and I only wish I could apply my make up the way Ailbhe does!!
Response from Ailbhe Lynch - Makeup Artist
Claire, thank you so much! You are so kind. I am delighted to know you were so happy with everyone's makeup on the day. I had so much fun with you all that morning. I hope the rest of the day was a huge success! Wishing you all the best for the new year. Kindest regards, Ailbhe.

I would highly reccomend Ailbhe to any future brides.
She is a true proffesional and absolutely amazing at what she does. I have never felt more beautiful than i did on my wedding day.
Ailbhe arrived bang on time the morning of the wedding with a huge smile and very warm presence.
I had 4 Bridesmaids , my Mam and I for makeup and each one of the girls were so impressed with Ailbhe's work. She was relaxed, excited, bubbly and really added to the wedding morning.
Ailbhe suggested in advance certain products to purchase for touch ups, but the only thing that ended up needing touch ups was lips. My face stayed put for the entire night.
I cant thank Ailbhe enough for work I truely felt like a beautiful bride.

Ailbhe was an absolute pleasure from the time I made the booking. She was always at the other end of an email to reply to any queries I had about my bridal makeup and the products .
I was delighted with my trial , Ailbhe also looked after my mam so well at the trial stage and for someone who doesn't normally wear makeup she was thrilled with her look.

Ailbhe was so professional and lovely the morning of my wedding . Ailbhe looked after 5 of us that morning and we couldn't of been happier . I would highly recommend Ailbhe to future brides.

I would 100% recommend Ailbhe to anyone who is getting married. My mum, the bridesmaids and I were so delighted with our makeup for the wedding. Everyone commented on our makeup on the day and looking at photos since Ailbhe ready made us look our very best (what more could a bride ask for!). I wish I could bring her with me everywhere! :) Ailbhe is also a very calming influence on the morning of the wedding. She kept us on track which meant that we were at the church on time, just as I wanted. I have a few friends who have already booked her for their weddings and I will continue to recommend her to anyone who is getting married.

I woke up on the morning of my wedding feeling worn out and stressed and wishing we had eloped.
I hadn't a particularly happy run up to the day, my skin had broken out and I just wanted the day to be over.
Ailbhe shrugged when I first sat in her chair and pointed out my skin issues and said it wasn't a problem and not to worry.
And got to work.
It was from that point on I instantly relaxed.
My wedding makeup turned out perfect!I was so relieved and it gave me the confidence to enjoy the day ahead.
My bridal party's makeup was beautiful too and it was fun to see us all transformed.
I have already passed on Ailbhes contact to one of my guests who wants her for her own wedding next year.
Ailbhe is incredibly talented and I would recommended her to any future brides who want that flawless look but want to still look like themselves.

*Tips to Brides:Get your bridal party to arrive on time, to shower as soon as they get out of bed and to have faces cleansed and a light moisturiser applied beforehand.
Response from Ailbhe Lynch - Makeup Artist
Hi Georgina, Many thanks for sharing your review and for the lovely email you sent me. It means so much to know I made such a difference to your day. I am so happy to know you felt relaxed when you sat in my makeup chair. I know how stressful the run up to a wedding can be without the added stress of a breakout. When you pointed it out to me I knew it was something you didn't need to worry about - That's what I am there for! I am so glad you felt confident after having your makeup done. You really deserved to enjoy your big day and I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful day in the end. It was such a pleasure to meet you. Thank you again for sending on photos too! And thank you for sharing your tip with other brides! It always helps the morning run smoothly when the bridal party are ready for makeup and hair when we arrive! Kindest regards, Ailbhe.

Ailbhe was fantastic to work with and I am so glad I chose her to be my makeup artist on my wedding day.
Right from when I first contacted her she was so helpful and made the whole experience really easy and stress-free. Many people have actually commented on what a calm bride during the lead-up to and on my wedding day and I always assure them it was down to all the amazing women I had surrounded myself with. Ailbhe was definitely one of those amazing women: she was such a calming presence and I know that she had listened closely to exactly what I wanted. She made all of us in the bridal party feel like the most beautiful versions of ourselves. On the day she was also so generous with her time - staying until the final minute to ensure that I was picture-perfect walking up to my groom.
I have already recommended her to many a bride and do so with zero hesitation!

Ailbhe is a true professional and very talented at what she does as well as being very kind and accommodating.

In the run up to the wedding, I was really busy at work, so my sister and bridesmaid Sarah very kindly took on the task of sourcing a make up artist. We are both extremely fussy with make up and Sarah took a long time finding the right person. However when Sarah happened upon Ailbhe and pored through her Instagram bridal make up photos, we knew she was perfect. All the brides featured have beautiful, radiant, natural make up. We were so delighted when she was available!

I arrived at my bridal trial with Ailbhe incredibly flustered after getting out of work ridiculously late, my phone battery dying and getting stuck in rush hour traffic! Despite this, we still had a good trial. She really listened to what I wanted and somehow read my mind as all the "make up look" photos I saved were inaccessible on my out of action phone. Afterwards she contacted me and sent me photos from the trial to see if I wanted to make any further changes.

I absolutely loved my make up on the day (it has genuinely never looked better) and I never saw my sisters look so beautiful. My mum also looked amazing. We all got so many compliments all day and my husband really loved it too (he even commented specifically on it, very unlike him!).

The make up stayed put all day and night despite a ridiculous amount of tears walking up the aisle and on the altar and some hardcore dancing. At one point I left the dance floor after the band finished convinced I was going to need some serious touch ups after dancing myself into a right sweaty mess but was delighted to see it was still really fresh! I have photos at 4:30am to prove it!

It was the first wedding in our house and we were very naive as to what to do but thankfully, we were guided along by the amazing bridal team in the morning.

Ailbhe is a complete pro and was bang on time having left Dublin at 5:30 in the morning and driving for 2 hours.

We really appreciated the extra touches like helping me with my veil (it didn't budge at all!) and our last minute touch ups!

It makes such a difference on your wedding day to feel really wonderful about yourself. We had such an amazing day and thanks to Ailbhe for helping being a part of that. She was everything you would want a make up artist to be: professional, punctual, organised, easy to contact, talented, accommodating for the look you want and going the extra mile. I would have no hesitation recommending her to any other brides!

Ailbhe is an incredible make-up artist. She did the make up for my sister's wedding initially and my whole family talked about her for months after the wedding! Once I had booked the venue for my own wedding, Ailbhe was the first person I contacted and was delighted when she said she was free. We all loved our make up on the day - including my mum who is very hard to please! Ailbhe is also a very calm person - exactly what you want on the morning of your wedding. She was responsive to any questions I had and it was easy to book a trial with her. I would highly recommend her!

Hi Arlena, So lovely of you to leave such a lovely review -Thank you! I am delighted to know you were so happy with your makeup.

Ailbhe is an outstanding make up artist, from first point of contact to the wedding day she was so professional and a joy to deal with. I loved my make up for my wedding day, she did exactly what I wanted and I didn't have to touch up once!! Would highly recommend Ailbhe for future brides..

Ailbhe was was an absolute professional from start to finish.

I was a relaxed bride about everything except my make-up, I think it is such a personal thing and so important to get right. Ailbhe was great, she recognised that this was something I was nervous about and listened to my concerns. She was very patient with me on my trial and ironed out all these concerns, so we ready to go for the big day :) I have to say that I loved my make up on the day and yet still felt like me. In addition, my sister and mam looked fantastic too :) - I would 100% recommend Ailbhne.

Ailbhe was such a professional on the day and did the make-up for myself (the bride), my 3 bridesmaids and my mother. She timed everything perfectly and there was no last minute rush or any feelings stress at any point which was great as I so nervous! Her work is meticulous and natural and not 'over-done' in anyway. She checked with me before doing my bridesmaids' make-up to check that I was happy with everything. All in all I couldn't recommend Ailbhe enough

I loved my wedding day makeup! Ailbhe was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish - so professional and also just a really lovely person, she put everyone at ease on the day of the wedding. My wedding makeup was very important to me, I researched who to book quite a lot beforehand and I am so delighted I went with Ailbhe. I have never felt or looked more beautiful, while still looking like myself, than I did that day - and I think that was due to Ailbhe. Every time I show someone a wedding photo, they ask who did my makeup! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ailbhe.

A huge thank you to Ailbhe who did make up for my 3 bridesmaids, my mum and I last week. It looked flawless in the photos and stayed on perfectly all night. We were all delighted including my mum who was reluctant about the idea at first. I?m living abroad and Ailbhe was very accommodating in fitting in my make a trial a few months in advance, very responsive and easy to deal with from a distance. She is also a lovely, calm person to be around on a hectic morning. Thanks so much!

I can't believe how lucky I was to find Ailbhe. From start to finish, trial to the big Day she was incredible. I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted but when I chatted it through with her she knew exactly what I was looking for. Nothing was too much trouble, even when I pulled the timings forward to accommodate a few others having their make up done!

Having Ailbhe with us throughout the morning was definitely a calming influence - I didn't have to worry or stress about timings and hair and make up worked seamlessly together. From such a calming morning it set the pace for the day which I think is paramount! I also didn't have to worry about my makeup once....I felt & looked fab!!

Mum & Roz (sister & bridesmaid) loved her as well & that was important to me. I am looking forward, some day, to having my makeup done by Ailbhe again & I know Roz is getting the opportunity sooner than I!!! Ailbhe, Thank you so much for everything & for an incredible start to an incredible day! I had such fun. And I will definitely see you again

It is so great to know you were happy with everything. Kindest regards, Ailbhe.

Ailbhe did my make up for my wedding in July 2014 and did such an amazing job. I was delighted with my make up and so were my bridesmaids and mother. I have since had the pleasure of Ailbhe doing my make up for other functions and this girl never fails to amaze me.
Ailbhe is an absolute pro! She has been in the wedding game for quite some time so there is no better woman to make sure everything runs like clockwork on the day. She almost creates a sense of calm on the day. I can't reccommend her highly enough. There is a reason she is well known as one of the best make up artists in Ireland.

All I can say is WOW! Ailbhe is wonderful and I could not recommend her highly enough. On the morning of our wedding she had 4 bridesmaids, mother of the bride & my own makeup to do and there were no issues at all - everyone looked amazing, there was no panicking about lack of time and she catered for everyone's individual needs. She was very helpful over email and on the phone with any questions I had in the lead up to the wedding day.

Ailbhe did the makeup for my wedding in October - which included myself the mother of the bride and the bridal party. I had a trial with ailbhe and was immediately Happy to confirm my booking. Her style is very natural and you don't feel like your caked in makeup, yet it still looked perfect at 5am when it was time for bed! Ailbhe helped make the morning so relaxed and lots of fun and I would definitely recommend her to any future brides! All the best in the future Ailbhe, hopefully ill have an excuse to use you for something again some time!

Ailbhe did my wedding make-up earlier this year and I couldn't have asked for a better make-up artist. We met Ailbhe a few months before the wedding for my trial and we were delighted with everything. She's so good at what she does she puts everyone at ease so the whole experience is a really enjoyable one... even for the nervous mammy! On the day of the wedding she brought a sense of calm to proceedings and of course everyone looked great by the time she was finished with us! I would highly recommend Ailbhe to any bride. Thanks Ailbhe!

Ailbhe Lynch was nothing short of brilliant on the day of my wedding - in addition to doing an amazing job on the make up for myself, my bridesmaid and my mother in law, she also managed to put everyone at ease and even sewed some stitches into the back of my wedding dress! The make up looked perfect - it was special without making me look too different (just enhanced!)and it lasted all day! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ailbhe to any bride who wants a stress free wedding morning and perfect make up!
