what people are saying
“As a mum of three in my mid-30s, I’d completely lost focus on my makeup and just wanted a refresh that felt manageable and confidence-boosting.
The Makeup Bag Edit felt like a therapy session in the best way - thoughtful, insightful and completely tailored to me. Amy truly understood what I was trying to achieve, and her follow-up recommendations were spot on.
The in-person consultation was just as fantastic. Having Amy by my side at the makeup counters made everything feel calm, clear and genuinely enjoyable. She cut through the overwhelm, helped me navigate the endless options, and found the products that were exactly right for me. I’m delighted with what we chose - my routine finally feels current and truly works for me.”

I had used the same foundation for years but I felt I needed a change commensurate with my age. Honestly, I was nervous. When you struggle with self-esteem, going to a makeup counter can feel like being at the mercy of salespeople. As a Blue Badge holder with Fibromyalgia, I was also genuinely scared that the physical toll of a department store - the parking, the walking and the endless standing - would leave me exhausted and overwhelmed.
The Makeup Bestie was a total game changer. She understood my situation immediately and took all the fear out of the expedition by planning everything around my needs. She knew exactly where to park and understood the floor plan so well that we didn't waste a single step. She even took me to a multi-brand shop I didn’t know existed, so I didn't have to trek between different desks.
She listened to what my real life is like - how much time I actually have to get ready and how I want to feel. There was zero "influencer" fluff and no pressure to buy the first thing we saw. Instead, she waited until I was genuinely happy and felt in charge.
What I thought would be an exhausting ordeal became an easy, empowering experience. I love my new foundation, but I am even more grateful for the care and expertise she showed me. If you have mobility issues, chronic pain, or just need someone who truly "gets it" and respects your self-esteem, she is the person to call. And I actually feel younger, too!!“

— Phoebe'“Thanks so much for working with me. It’s been so much fun, so helpful and totally changed the way I see my make up. I didn’t realise how stuck in my ways and nervous to change anything up I’d been. You really gave me the confidence to try something new. To see foundation for what it actually is, the base, and not as I’d been using it as the end product. My new Nars bronzer is my make up hero. It’s given my face so much lift and depth. I’ve had lots of compliments, people saying how well I look!
Amy you were so wonderful to work with. Your manner with the sales assistants in the shops was just perfect. You were firm and respectful but showed them you knew what you were doing and that I was your focus. I had been worried it might be embarrassing but it most definitely wasn’t, it was the most helpful and insightful shopping experience anyone could ask for. Thanks for everything. I look forward to coming back and learning from you in the future when I next want to change things up!”
