“I feel so blessed to have found Trish Monkhouse of Makeup Artistry by Trish to be my makeup artist for my wedding day. I was booking everything for my wedding from abroad and I came across her through my photographer’s Instagram. I was struck by photos of her work and immediately contacted her. Working with her was a dream! When I went to Victoria to finalize some wedding details in March, we did our trial. I knew I loved her work, but the moment she came into the house I knew I could trust her. I told her about things I was nervous to wear (bright lipstick mainly), and she just started talking to me as she worked. I showed her a picture of my dress and by the end of the trial when I looked in the mirror, I saw her work reflect my personality and highlight my features in such a beautiful and elegant way. Flash forward 5 months, there we were in the hotel room getting ready and everyone immediately took to Trish and all of our faces came out better than anyone could ask for! Trish just responded to this room full of woman as if she’d known us all for years. Everyone was thrilled with their makeup and felt as if they’d made a new friend. My sister, who wears makeup maybe twice a year, looked incredible and comfortable in her skin. My husband’s immediate reaction during our first look summed up how beautiful Trish made us all look and feel: “Oh my God, you look gorgeous!” I would highly recommend Trish to any person wanting their makeup professionally done!”

“Trish is the BEST! Our wedding was a destination wedding in Victoria and I found Trish through my amazing photographer (Shout out the vendor love!). What I loved was the incredibly detailed beautiful looks that kept showing up. Some were very natural, some were very glamorous, she could do ANYTHING. I never felt so beautiful and confident in my life!”

“Trish provided her amazing services for myself and family for my December wedding. I was completely blown away by Trish’s work. She exceeded my expectations and even brought me to tears with how perfect it was. My makeup was absolutely perfect.

I loved that she took all aspects of my wedding into consideration when putting together a colour palette. She asked questions of colours, florals, photographer, location, groom’s attire and integrated my makeup to coordinate perfectly. It was clear in the makeup consultation that Trish was experienced and knowledgeable in her field. This was very reassuring to me. I felt very comfortable and relaxed for the big day.

Trish is professional, talented and all around a lovely person! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her for future services.”

“Trish was such as pleasure to work with!  From the moment we started corresponding, her positivity was contagious.  Scheduling a trial with her was easy and the time flew by as she made me comfortable, made me laugh, and made me feel like a princess.  Communication was prompt and she answered all of my questions thoroughly.
On the morning of the wedding, Trish arrived and her bubbly personality, skill, and experience just added so nicely to the vibe.  She was able to make each one of my bridesmaids and my mom comfortable and do makeup that fit their style, and skin tones perfectly. My makeup was flawless and lasted the entire day and night.  I definitely felted pampered and like a glowing bride, and am trying to come up with events or excuses to get my makeup professionally done with her again!”

“I can’t imagine my wedding day without the amazing service Trish gave us! From my makeup trial to the wedding day she made me feel comfortable and relaxed as well as beautiful. She has a genuine, kind presence about her that makes her easy to talk to, feel understood in my makeup choices and feel excited to be married. My makeup was everything that I wanted. Trish completely understood my vision. My bridesmaids absolutely loved Trish too. She totally set the tone for the wedding day by making getting ready so fun. She took time with all of us, making us laugh and feel truly beautiful. I’m so grateful Trish was part of our wedding day!”

“Trish Monkhouse was amazing to work with. I do not typically wear make up and didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted for my wedding day. Trish was an amazing guide, when we met for the trial she listened to everything I had to say and helped guide my indecision and cluelessness into a beautiful vision that stayed true to who I am. Her passion about her artistry comes through in her work, her organization and her attention to detail. For example, we tried three or four shades of lipstick until we found the one that was perfect. With Trish’s help, I felt like a princess on my wedding day. Furthermore, I enjoyed the time I spent with Trish. She is very energetic, personable and vivacious. She immediately felt like an old friend and made me feel comfortable. I would love to work with her again in the future.”

“Trish did an amazing job on my bridal makeup, and made my bridesmaids really shine through! Her cheery demeanour and positive attitude was a huge bonus on the day and really made it feel special...plus she transformed us into all-star babes!!! Thanks again Trish you rock!”

“Today I’m feeling rather special.
Like a princess, if you will.
Trish blew my mind with her attention to detail and ability to work with skin tone/features like a boss! I’ve worked with makeup artists who have literally looked at me terrified because they’ve never worked on a black skin before and/or don’t carry makeup that works for me. I’ve become accustomed to doing my own makeup a lot of the time. Nope, not Trish! Her kit is impressive for a number of reasons - but most important to me - I/me/my skin was represented in that kit. And that means a lot! She worked her magic in record time and I literally gasped when I looked in the mirror because my face was a freaking work of art.
I cannot recommend her enough! 5 stars!!”

“Like many women, I have many insecurities. It was very important for me to find a make up artist that I felt comfortable with.

As soon as I met Trish, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and trust as we worked together to create my perfect wedding look. Not only was Trish, kind, caring, and knowledgeable she was wonderful company.

I appreciate Trish being a part of my special day and I felt so beautiful and confident. If you are looking for a make up artist for any special occasion, I would highly recommend Trish.”

“You MUST Book Trish for Services!
I am so grateful for Trish and what she did for our bridal party. I don’t normally wear makeup, however, she made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole trial process. Her makeup skills are amazing and everything holds up throughout the day (I even wore my trial makeup to a kickboxing session and everything was still intact afterwards!). Trish is such a fun and positive person that any wedding nerves you may have disappear immediately when she’s in the room.”

“I wanted to say thank you so much! You made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. In fact you made my bridesmaids and especially my mom look and feel so beautiful. My mom kept saying all day how beautiful she felt and it really made me just so happy. My mom never does anything for herself and she always gets down on herself but on my wedding day she was glowing and confident like I’ve never seen her. So thank you so much I couldn’t of asked for a better person to do our makeup. You are simply one of a kind and any women on their wedding day would be lucky to have you.”

“Trish was a such pleasure to work with. Her personality and her home studio were both so bright, welcoming and warm.

As a ‘newbie’ to getting my make up professionally done; Trish was able to find the perfect balance of enhancing my features while still staying true to my minimalist makeup routine.

She was so kind and welcoming, prompt on her responses and well worth the investment. Whether you are needing make up for a wedding, a special event or a branding photoshoot. I highly recommend her!”
