Mercy is an incredible professional. In advance of my TEDx talk, she designed an easy to apply look and showed me how to do it myself. I felt so confident on stage. Mercy is so approachable and offers each client a bespoke look and service. Highly recommend. Rachel Gotto

So grateful-Mercy, I honestly cannot thank you enough for my beautiful wedding day make up and also for my bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law, you were a dream to work with and took the time to really understand what we all wanted and delivered above and beyond on the day. You were such a calming presence on what was a very hectic wedding morning and I was delighted with the final look! I was so tired with little sleep and you worked miracles making me look fresh and glowing! Make up never budged the entire day, and everyone else was thrilled with theirs also. I am so thankful and grateful for all you did from the make up trials and skincare advice and tips to deciding on the final look and even staying with me right up until the moment myself and my father stepped into the car for the church! You are amazing, and I wish nothing but the best for you for the future.

Under time pressure Miss Mercy completed my transformation from tired looking to fab looking in just a half an hour
I booked Mercy to do my makeup for my wedding on the 20th of August this year. I can't begin to say how amazing she is!I sent her so many pictures of makeup looks and the day of the makeup trial she completed an amazing look that I absolutely fell in love with xxThe morning of the wedding she came to my dad's house to do my bridal partys looks. The girls had a variety of looks that they wanted and Mercy did a fantastic job with everyone's makeup. My mam, who normally doesn't wear makeup, loved her look. It was very natural and really complimented her features. I absolutely loved my bridal makeup, it looked amazing in person and even better in pictures.When Mercy set up her station everything was incredibly hygienic. Different brushes were used and everything was cleaned between clients. Mercy was super friendly, really funny and kind. Her price is also very affordable and she travelled all the way from Galway to rural Tipperary and got everyone's makeup done on time.Mercy, thank you so much for everything ❤️❤️

Miss Mercy was my makeup artist on my wedding day. She also did my bridesmaids, mother of the groom and my mom. She’s absolutely friendly and patient with requests. Shes professional and dedicated. I’ve never came across a makeup artist that could actually match foundation to my skin tone. I wanted my bridal look to be natural and Miss Mercy nailed it. She was also so nice to all the girls on the day and was also giving tips and tricks to help with makeup application. Oh! She’s also very hygienic she used different makeup brushes for each ladies and wore gloves and mask. Which was very important to me. Everyone looked amazing ! Will definitely recommend Miss Mercy to anyone! I’ll definitely go back to her.

I met Mercy a few years ago at a wedding fair in Athlone and immediately knew she was the one to do my make up on the day of my wedding. Mercy is so professional and has such a kind and lovely personality that I felt at ease from the minute she agreed to do our makeup. Mercy took the time to get to know me and my wants in the run up to the wedding and she also linked in with me on a regular basis throughout COVID to ensure I was not stressed about the day.On the day Mercy called me prior to her arrival to ensure I was not panicking; she brought a lovely energy with her and ensured everyone looked their best before leaving for the church. Everyone looked so glamorous, yet elegant on the day and no touch ups were required (keeping in mind we danced until 2am).Thank you so much Mercy, for everything

Miss Mercy was absolutely amazing. I hired Miss Mercy to do my wedding day makeup and my bridesmaids. Miss Mercy was calm, friendly, professional but mostly an extremely talented top notch make up artist. If you want to look flawlessly beautiful and natural for your wedding day, I would highly recommend Miss Mercy to do your makeup. 5 stars from me and my bridesmaids X
