Amara Beauty Therapy - www.burnhambeautytherapy.co.uk

I married in October and used Victoria for my bridal make up, my bridesmaids makeup, shellac on my toes (I had false nails for the wedding) and shellac on my bridesmaids fingers and toes in French with a lovely pink base. We had a trial beforehand and she gave me exactly what I asked for, she was so helpful in recommending shades and colours to match my colour theme (pinks) and made my make up look natural yet eye catching, I would highly recommend Victoria to all my friends, I was impressed by her welcoming friendly manner and her attention to detail! On the day itself she arrived with plenty of time to spare and made me feel so relaxed ( I am really fussy about people doing my makeup!) And my bridesmaids were really happy with their make up too! I normally don't write reviews but I felt it necessary to write this as I feel the past review could be a bit misleading, you honestly won't be disappointed by Victoria's professional manner and perfectionism, thankyou so much again for making me look flawless in my wedding pictures!! I will definitely be recommending her services to future brides!!

We used amara Beaty therapy for our daughters wedding in october last year

Our daughter and 3brides maids were delighted with the look amara achieved

We had a free trail for our makeup and nails which went brilliantly and the look she achieved was fantastic

She was very professional is an expert in shellac nails

We have fantastic pictures of the end result and would be only to pleased to share these with prospective client

Top class result highly recommended

I used this beauty therapist for a trial for wedding make up and found her to be quite helpful and courteous. However, on the day of the trial she didn't listen to what I was trying to achieve with the natural look I wanted and the eye colours I was looking for, so beiges, taupes and browns and she proceeded to use a pink in the eyeshadow mixed with the natural, gave my eyes a purple hue and then as if this wasn't enough, she covered my face in a dark shade of foundation and blusher and then added a boring shade of pink to my lips, it did enhance my tanned face but was too much and when I mentioned at the end it was nice but top heavy, and that my eyes and lips wasn't what I was expecting, I wasn't asked if I wanted her to change anything and she kept telling me how lovely I looked and explained that she always applies 20-30% more for weddings so it lasts and is good for the photography which I took on board, she kept telling me I looked lovely and would I mind being photographed for her website, that I felt obliged into submission. A few days later when I advised if we could take the look down so it wasn't so heavy and use the original eye colours and lipstick I wanted I got a rather terse email in reply berating me for not having told her I didn't like it and that I was wasting her time with all the emails and if I wanted another trial it would cost me.

I believe this woman, who works from home, is incapable of listening to her clients and just does her own thing. My tip is get advice from the make up counters in the dept stores and do it yourself, which is what I did in the end and I did a much better job.
