I’m Ruthanna, a freelance makeup artist with 16 years experience in the industry, specialising in Bridal Make-up and Wedding Day Make up. I am based in Bandon, Co. Cork but I travel all over Munster to enhance my brides' beauty. For your convenience, I can travel to you for the trial also (mileage fees may apply)

Book me for your wedding day and you will get a friendly, professional makeup artist who is passionate about my job. I am a bridal expert who’ll create a fresh flawless and timeless look on your wedding day that promises to stay for the day.

For all brides, I recommend a makeup trial a couple of months in advance of the wedding. The trial is so you can decide what look you want to achieve and what products suit you best. My makeup kit contains only the best quality products.

Call or email me today to see if I am available on your special day.

I recently had Ruthanna for my wedding! I can’t thank her enough for the fantastic work she did for myself and the bridal party. We ranged from younger to mature skin. Ruthanna’s experience and knowledge is second to none! She had everyone looking their best and enhanced all our features. Our make up lasted all night and looked perfect, I didn’t even need to touch up! Her personality is so calm and she is beautiful inside and out. Thank you so much Ruthanna for making my day so special. I will definitely use you again for any event I have coming up and would 1000% recommend you to others. Thanks again,
Connie

I came across Ruthanna through my photographer's podcast. Her knowledge and experience spilled over in abundance.
We did multiple trials as I wanted a bridesmaid trial too and I was totally blown away.

Ruthanna was warm and personable and dedicated to achieving the desired look and she 100% delivered with all 7 of us. I obviously wanted to look my best on the day but my concern was looking too made up as I don?t wear makeup regularly but I need not have worried, Ruthanna had me feeling fabulous and it lasted until we stopped at 5am!

There are not enough stars to give. Totally amazing.

Ruthanna was absolutely fantastic. From the trial to the big day it all went so smoothly.

She took into account what look I wanted and adapted it to fit my features. I had a lovely warm look that lasted all day. My makeup never felt heavy but when I went to take it off at 4am there was still plenty left.

My bridal party's make up was also flawless. Ruthanna was able to give all of them a cohesive but individual look, and we all felt very comfortable on the morning getting ready.

10/10, would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Ruthanna was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. So warm, friendly, calm and professional, nothing was a problem and boy does she know her makeup.
On my wedding day, my skin was glowing and my make-up was so well done. Plenty of coverage without being in any way over the top. I felt totally me albeit a better job of make-up me. And what's more, my bridesmaids were delighted with Ruthanna aswell, they couldn't believe how well they looked.
Importantly, Ruthanna is a calming influence that you want around on the morning of your wedding. Nothing is stressful and you can trust her with your life that make-up will be done to an amazing standard. Everyone said I looked stunning on my wedding day! Thanks Ruthanna!!!!!

Thank you Katie, it's really important for me that I understand what preferences you have as the bride so I can help you look and feel your best - I'm thrilled you were happy with me, and the family approved too!! Wishing you all the best for your future together xxx

Ruthanna is a wonderfully talented make-up artist and she was the perfect person to spend the morning of my wedding with! She was the very first make-up artist I contacted when we started planning the wedding, and I was thrilled that she was available for my date. Ruthanna has such a positive attitude and has a very calming way about her, all the while enjoying the craic with whoever is around! Ruthanna's professionalism was evident in the run up to the wedding as she was always very easy to communicate with and was on hand to answer any questions/queries and address any skin concerns. You can tell her experience is second to none as she knows exactly what will suit the varying skin types. Ruthanna is also hugely knowledgeable with regards to what products are currently on the market and where you can purchase the different items to suit your budget. I absolutely loved my wedding make-up! and my mother and bridesmaids felt the same. I cannot speak highly enough about Ruthanna, I would highly recommend Ruthanna to any future brides in Bandon/Cork/Munster.

Thank you Mary-Jo for putting your trust in me for your bridal makeup - it's such a privilege to look after any bride but when you know the family the pressures on!!! I'm delighted you were happy with me - I had the most gorgeous morning with your crew and Donna on the hair. You were stunning xxx

Ruthanna is an absolute pro and was so brilliant from first contact to the trial and the morning of the wedding. She did makeup for 7 people and was so efficient and put us all at ease, everyone was delighted with their makeup, and it lasted all day and well into the night. I have dry skin with red patches and she somehow managed to cover everything beautifully without looking like I was wearing a lot of makeup. Ruthanna was such a kind, calming presence on the day and we all loved chatting to her, she is so knowledgeable about skin care and makeup and gave me some great tips and recommendations which have really improved my skin. Ruthanna is an amazing makeup artist and person and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

I highly recommend Ruthanna for bridal make-up! She put me at ease straight away during the bridal trial. I loved the way that she did my makeup. She even gave me some suggestions about affordable products I could use in the lead-up to the big day, so that my make-up would sit well and my skin would be hydrated.
Looking back at photos, I love that I look like myself! My makeup lasted all day. It was a wild and windy day, so it was down to Ruthanna's expertise that it stayed on all day and into the night.
My mam and my bridesmaids also looked beautiful! All of us loved her calming vibe.

Ruthanna was the make up artist at my wedding in Cork in October and she was absolutely fantastic! I knew straight away when I met Ruthanna at the trial that I could put my full trust in her and she would take very good care of me and the bridesmaids on the wedding day! We were all delighted with our make up on the day and it made the morning really relaxing and enjoyable. Ruthanna was so lovely and so professional to deal with and I want to say a huge thank you for that. I couldn't recommend Ruthanna highly enough and feel very lucky to have had her for my wedding. Thanks so much!

Ruthanna was absolutely fab.
I had acne as a teenager and as a result I have some scarring and large pores. She was so helpful during my trial and made me feel so at ease.
I was pretty specific with certain aspects of how I wanted my makeup and she was brilliant, and she was great help with the the rest and finding what way was going to make me feel the most beautiful.

On the day of the wedding she made everyone feel at ease and was able to give us tips on self care. She even gave us little cotton buds etc in case there were tears... which there were.

I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day; and my bride squad were stunning too.

Would highly reccomend. ?

Ruthanna was the make up artist for my sisters wedding in August.
She is an excellent make up artist and I would really recommend her.
I was delighted with my make up and also with the personalised attention I got.
Ruthanna asked my preference, what my skin was like and throughout the makeup application was happy to answer questions and also checked in with me as she progressed as to what I thought of the make up, did I want more or less etc.

Ruthanna was a lovely presence in the room the morning of the wedding, she is very friendly and good craic and very conscious of making sure everyone feels comfortable in how they look.

She was very mindful of the bride and was she happy and comfortable in how she looked.

I would highly recommend her!
I am only sorry she lives so far away and I can't use her more regularly!

Thank you so much Siobhán, I really enjoyed working with you that morning, as we say in the business its easy to polish a diamond - you were stunning with very little help!! Any time you need give me a shout, I loved my trip to the Mustard seed in Ballingarry but happy to fly if needed!!

Ruthanna is fantastic, she does the most beautiful makeup but also entertains, chats, laughs, makes everyone at ease and adds something special to the wedding morning when getting ready. I loved having her there and I was absolutely thrilled with my makeup, as were my bridesmaids, my mum, my aunt, my sister in law....she had a busy morning but was calm, thoughtful and thorough throughout. I would 100% recommend her, and just sad we can't do it all again!
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
Thanks so much Una- from the trial to the day you were so easy and relaxed about everything and the morning was a reflection of that- lots of laughs and happy vibes. I loved our morning and the photos Kevin took were gorgeous- what a venue, especially either the tiny baby, kids and family it was perfect and so dreamy and romantic. Thanks for having me, and sure no reason why we can't recreate it again some time!!

I cannot recommend Ruthanna enough.
From my initial contact with Ruthanna I was impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail and availability to go through any questions I had in the run up to the big day.
She was flexible to accommodate my make up trial and also accommodated our change of wedding date without issue in view of Covid 19 restrictions.
The make up itself was complimented hugely on the day too.

Ruthanna is such a lovely person and brilliant at her job?she clearly loves what she does!! There were six of us for makeup the morning of my wedding. Being the bride, she scheduled me in 2nd so that she could come back to me for a touch up at the end but she gave all of us the same time and attention and we were delighted with the results. She also gave us advice about our skin and products while she worked which was really handy?I?ve used those tips since! I would highly recommend Ruthanna, you will not be disappointed!!

I Recently Booked Ruthanna to do my Make-UP for my Son's Wedding. How Lucky was I to find her. What an amazing Lady. Even when I had to change the Date due to the Wedding being brought forward before the Second Lockdown, nothing was a problem for her. She arrived at our house early morning with her Bag of Tricks. She also found a wonderful Lady called Kim to come and do my Hair and also my Sister's. What lovely Ladies to work with. Face Masks and Hand Sanitizing were the order of the day. They were so Professional and so easy to chat to. I received amazing Compliments on my Make-Up at the Wedding and also my Hair. I felt like a millon dollars. I can't speak highly enough of Ruthanna and i would highly recommend her.

I couldn?t recommend Ruthanna highly enough. We had to move our wedding forward a week at the last minute & limit it to just some immediate family, due to the Covid-19 virus. This was a very stressful decision but when I contacted Ruthanna a few days beforehand she melted away alot of that stress. She came to my house that morning to do my make up & hair ( Ruthanna doesn?t usually do hair, however everyone commented on how fab my hair was, so another string to her bow! ) She took all the safety precautions necessary, but she still made the morning fun and relaxed. A real Fairy Godmother! My makeup & hair was amazing & I?ll definitely book her when we eventually have our party!

Hi Rosarie,
If any bride deserved the best day it was you- I was delighted to be able to join you that morning to look after your makeup and hair. I was blown away by your positivity, and although it wasn't the day you had planned for, there was something unbelievably romantic about it being pared back to the core of a wedding day - a celebration of you both and your future life together. I would be thrilled to look after you any time you need. Wishing you all the best xxx

5 stars!!! Ruthanna done the make up for my wedding on Saturday 14th December! I can't thank her enough!! I absolutely loved my make up it was so natural and it covered all the redness. I was so comfortable with it. Everyone commented how great the coverage was and how natural it looked. I was so happy with it. Everyone in the bridal party loved they're make up. We had 2 little flower girls who she kept occupied when we were running around. Everyone felt so comfortable with her. If anyone is ever looking for a make up artist for their big day I won't be able to recommend Ruthanna highly enough. She is asking at what she does. Aside from the make Ruthanna has helped me so much with my skin. I had very red, sore, bumpy, itchy, burning skin on my face and at my make up trial and Ruthanna gave me tips to improve my skin. All inexpensive supplements and cream. I have gone to dermatologist doctors everyone I could find to help me and she was the first person who listened to me when I said it was coming from my stomach issues. Since my trial I have been taking the supplements and using the cream Ruthanna suggested and it is so much better. It is something I'm going to continue doing. Aside from feeling beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her fantastic work, I feel less self conscious in my day to day life all thanks to Ruthanna. I am so grateful for everything.

I hate getting my makeup done and dreaded trying to find someone for my wedding day. I have often removed makeup and redone myself in the past so to say I?m picky is an understatement.

When I went to Ruthanna for my makeup trial all my worries left me. She was so fantastic. She did such a great job. My makeup was flawless. Not over or under done... made up well but still looked like myself on my wedding day which was so important to me.

Also I would like to compliment how she did my moms makeup. A mature woman?s skin is a totally different ball game and she also did this so so well. It was stunningly done and my mom looked amazing.

Aside from her amazing talents with a makeup brush, Ruthanna is an absolute pleasure to be around. You need to be so sure of the people you invite to spend one of the most important mornings with you and your bridal party. Ruthanna is such a lovely person, a total lady and very kind hearted. Having Ruthanna around on my wedding morning is a memory I will always cherish. She is one of my stand out suppliers for my wedding and my sister has also booked her for her own upcoming wedding this year!

I cannot recommend Ruthanna Crowley enough. Book her!

Ruthanna was recommended to me by a friend for bridal make up and I?m so thrilled I was lucky enough to secure a booking with her for my wedding. I knew from the trial we were on the same page for the make up look I was going for. Ruthanna travelled to our house on the morning of the wedding so she could do my make up as well as my bridesmaids and Mom as we relaxed and soaked up the atmostphere of the wedding morning. She was such a wonderful addition to the morning and a complete joy to be around. I also loved how natural and effortless my make up looked and it lasted all day and night- given that It was a scorcher of a day too! She is a true professional, fantastic at her job and an absolutely lovely person to top it off. Thank you Ruthanna x

Ruthanna was the first person I thought of when It came to booking a MUA for my wedding and my choice could not have been better! She is truly amazing at what she does and has this beautiful and calming presence that instantly puts you at ease. I had 3 bridesmaids, my mum and grooms mum, Ruthanna took her time with each and chatted effortlessly about what they liked/wanted and created flawless finishes for all of us which lasted all day long. She is an expert at creating natural looking finishes that enhances the beauty of every one she works on. I can?t recommend Ruthanna enough, if you are lucky enough to have her do your makeup for any occasion you will not be disappointed.

You are so kind Deirdre,it was a beautiful morning in Barnabrow looking after you and your family. With Audrey on hair and Sheenagh taking the snaps I knew the morning would run perfectly.

Ruthanna was so lovely. Had a great chat with her when she was applying my make up. I was a guest for my best friends wedding and a few of us decided to get glammed up. We were so lucky to get Ruthanna. I didn?t give much in the way of direction but she instinctively knew that I wanted to look glam and natural at the same time and did a beautiful look achieving both of those requests and the make up lasted all day. We were all so happy with her.

I cannot recommend Ruthanna enough. She is amazing at what she does. But as well as that she is kind, calm and answers any questions in the lead up to the wedding. My bridesmaids, mother, mother in law and I all loved our make up.
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
I was so excited to be working with your family, having met Ruth and worked with her previously. Your family were Fab to work with and you were a dream- too beautiful for words. Thanks also for the card, it was a lovely surprise. Best wishes to you and your hubby- I'll be with your mum in the Autumn and looking forward to that xxx

My bridesmaids, mother-of-bride and I were absolutely thrilled with Ruthanna on my wedding day 6th Dec 2018.
We all felt beautiful and were so delighted with how well our make-up turned out. Ruthanna had alot of us to get through on the morning and within a tight deadline as our ceremony was at 12.30 but she organised us so well that we were all relaxed and didn't feel under any pressure. I would highly recommend Ruthanna Make-up for any bride as she is versatile, gives the same care and attention to everyone, enhances your best features and listens to what you really want and how you want to look. Highly Recommended!! Thanks Ruthanna.
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
Thank you so much Karen, for having me and for the wonderful review. Time was a factor with the early ceremony but you were super organised. Dermot is fantastic to get the shots and have you on time for the ceremony. Those pics in the sitting room were incredible, you looked unreal! The very best wishes to you and Charlie for your future together xx

She listened to everything I had wanted and understood exactly what my bridal party wanted! I absolutely loved my makeup for my day and it was still perfect long into the night! Only wish I could have Ruthanna for every occasion. I would highly recommend her to everyone!

Such a calming presence on the morning of our wedding! Her level of professionalism and strive for perfection shines through her work and great personality!
Thank you so much Ruthanna. X

I cannot recommend Ruthanna highly enough. She created the most beautiful make up looks for my family, bridesmaids and myself for our wedding. My make up has never been done better - it even lasted all day, which has never happened before (I usually always need touch ups). Ruthanna is a true artist and it's clear to see she is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares for her clients. Ruthanna worked closely with each of us in order to create a look that suited every individual perfectly. I thought she did a particularly wonderful job on my Mum and Aunt who don't wear make up at all. They were absolutely thrilled with their beautiful, natural looking make up. Ruthanna is also an expert in skincare and carefully chose products from her wide range that would suit each of us. Aside from being an amazing make up artist, Ruthanna was a joy to have in our home the morning of the wedding. She made us all feel relaxed and comfortable which was so important with wedding morning jitters. We all left Ruthanna's make up chair feeling beautiful and confident, ready for the big day ahead.
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
This made me cry Anne! It's a privilege to spend time with a bride in those precious moments before you walk down the aisle and for you to be happy with me makes me incredibly proud of my work. You were so kind and considerate to your bridal party attending to their every need (I don't think you got the diva memo!!) and spoiling me and Val all morning. Any time you need makeup I'm there!! Hope all is good with your new direction in life xxxx

I would recommend Ruthanna to anyone looking for make up artist for any occassion!!

Thank you Siobhan for booking me, having met you already at Catherine's wedding it was very special to be invited back to look after you. I loved your natural elegant style, and Donna's hair complimented the whole stunning look. I can't believe it's nearly the year since the wedding, any chance of a re run for the 1st anniversary?!

It was a dream to have Ruthanna with us the morning of our wedding. She was so easy going and friendly, she really helped make the house stress free for the morning. Ruthanna did my make up exactly the way I wanted, it was so natural looking and I along with my bridesmaids and mother got so many compliments on our make up throughout the day. It even lasted well into the early hours of the next day! I would highly recommend Ruthanna to any future brides. Thanks so much Ruthanna! ????
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
Thank you so much Geraldine for writing me a review- we had a great morning down with you all, by the end I think me and Val wanted to head to the wedding as extra bridesmaids! I bet Mark got some lovely shots, and I met your videographer Uray the other day- he said you all had a fantastic day. I hope you are enjoying married life and if you ever want to renew the vows I'm here and ready!!!

If you want not only the most professional and talented make up artist but also a kind good natured person with a heart of gold,look no further. From the moment she arrived Ruthannas calm and soothing presence was a gift to the entire bridal party. She listened and did exactly what each person wished for. The results spoke for themselves. My makeup held all day and into the morning hours.
Ruthannna you excell at what you do and have definitely found your calling in life.I hope our paths cross again????

Excellent from start to finish. She suggested I had my trial in plenty of time, wish was ideal as we both learned a lot from it. On the morning of the Wedding her professionalism & pleasant attitude left the wedding party relax & confident it was all under control. But most importantly she listened to what I wanted and ensured the makeup suited me and my style. All the Wedding party were delighted with our makeup, as it suited our individual looks and more importantly it lasted, through wind & rain! I would definitely recommend Ruthanna to any bride & bridal party.
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
Welcome home from honeymoon! I can't believe a month has passed already since the wedding- it was a great morning, with plenty of fun with your family. I can't wait to see the pictures Michael took- you looked incredible in your dress- the makeup look you wanted suited you perfectly and I am so happy we achieved what you had hoped for. Regards to all the family, I hope your mum is getting a bit of rest after the wedding but I'm guessing she's at another creative project!

Ruthanna is a fantastic make up artist. I had one trial with her where she took the time to try out many different products to see what suited my skin and then tried a few looks until I was happy. She was also so helpful in the lead up to the wedding answering any questions I had.
On the morning of the wedding she was just fantastic, she got on so well with everyone and we couldn't have been happier with the make up. It was natural, picture perfect & lasted all the way through. Ruthanna stayed until I left for the church making sure my make up was perfect & my lipstick topped up just before I walked out the door. Can't recommend Ruthanna enough.
Response from Ruthanna Makeup
Thank you Lisa for having me as your bridal makeup artist- the morning was so enjoyable!

Ruthanna was a fabulous addition to my wedding morning. She arrived with her bag of tricks and transformed myself, three bridesmaids, my mum, 2 friends and my aunt. Her attention to enhancing your natural beauty with professional skills and fabulous products is the reason I booked her. I felt stunning on the day and most importantly for me I didn't feel caked in makeup. The makeup lasted the whole day on all of us. Ruthanna makes her brides feel like a star and is very accommodating if someone is awkward. I would recomemmend to anyone and I have.

The day of our trial she explored many options with me and gave advice on what products suited best and what skincare routine to do on the run up to the wedding. On the day of our wedding she really listened to my preferences and I felt I looked the best version of myself on the day. I got amazing complements and our wedding pictures were flawless. Ruthanna was also so supportive and gave great advice and tips throughout the morning while getting ready. Ruthanna is so knowledgeable and an absolutely amazing lady.
