Niamh O’ Brien,  31st Aug 2019

Sharon is the perfect wedding artist, and was able to cater to individual tastes for the bride, four bridesmaids and two mothers. The make up stayed on all day, and still managed to look natural. Her easy going manner really puts everyone at ease on the wedding morning. I am so happy I went with Sharon and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you very much, Niamh!

 

 

Maria Lenihan, 10th Aug 2019

From start to finish Sharon was both professional and a pleasure to deal with. Sharon managed to work around me as I was organising all my wedding planning from England. On the day she did an amazing job and really listened to myself and my bridesmaid and tailored our make-up to our own individual preferences. Everyone commenting on how beautiful I looked, it was all thanks to Sharon’s talents. Through the whole day the make-up never felt heavy or clunky but natural and at points I forgot I had make-up. Sharon kept all communication easy and accessible, which was great help especially being in England. Sharon even managed to get my mum to wear make-up (she hasn’t worn any in the last 30 years) and my mums face said it all, she was delighted and kept looking at herself, so, thank you so much Sharon for amazing talent and helping myself and my bridal party look absolutely stunning for the most important day of my life! Thank you again, Maria.

 

 

Orla Mc Gowan, 2nd Aug 2019

I highly recommend Sharon for any bride looking for a make up artist. Sharon is excellent at what she does and is friendly, warm and kind hearted. She went over and beyond the call of duty for me on my wedding day and her personality & professionalism led to such an enjoyable and relaxing morning getting ready in my house. I loved my make up on the day, as did my mum & bridesmaids. She also did my make for our after party the following day, it was a completely different look and I loved that too. What ever look you want for your big day Sharon will listen & deliver. Thank you Sharon!

 

 

Sarah Skuce,  7th Jun 2019

From meeting Sharon at my trial, I knew she’d be perfect for my wedding day makeup. She made me feel so relaxed and it was just the same on the big day. I loved my makeup as did the bridesmaids and it lasted all day and night! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a special day coming up.  Thanks you Sharon!

 

 

Sarah-Jane, 18th May 2019

Getting my make up done by Sharon was one of my favourite and most relaxing part of my day. Sharon created such a beautiful look for myself, my sister and my Mum and took care with my sister and Mum as I had explained they don’t wear a lot of make up. All 3 of us looked stunning and our makeup didn’t require any top ups other than lipstick and lip-gloss! If I ever have another occasion again in Sligo, I’ll be asking Sharon to do my makeup xx  Thank you so much Sharon !!

We were so lucky to have Sharon apply make up to me and my bridal party for my wedding. She is an incredibly talented make-up artist, very professional and made the whole experience very enjoyable. She is kind, warm and professional. She listens to what you are looking for and nails it on the head. The make up isn’t too heavy, it is very natural and it lasts all day.

Michelle Carroll, 14th Jul 2018

I just wanted to say a massive Thank You to Sharon for mine, my maid of honours, junior bridesmaids and friends make up on my big day. I liked that she listened to what i would like and dislike and also that she laughed when I said my maid of honour did not want to look like herself on the day of the wedding. We were all over the moon with the results of her superb talent. She made us all and especially me relaxed on the morning of the wedding and again for Trash the Dress. I would definitely recommend Sharon for your make up.                                                                                  Thanks a million Sharon Michelle xx

Anne Gallagher, Sept 14th 2018

“Sharon did my bridal makeup in September 2018 and was a dream to deal with – I could not recommend her highly enough. I had been somewhat apprehensive about my wedding makeup, because I was worried that a makeup look that would need to last a whole day would look too heavy and that I wouldn’t feel like myself. At my trial, Sharon alleviated all of my concerns! She really listened to what I wanted (and what I really didn’t want) and I was so thrilled with the result, which lasted well into the wee hours! She made my fabulous bridesmaids look even more fabulous, and did a beautiful job with my mother and sister in law’s makeup also. I really appreciated how calm and professional she was, putting everyone at ease. Thank you so much for everything Sharon – you were absolutely brilliant!! ”    Thanks again and all the best!

Johanna Cook, Sept 15th 2018

I got Sharon to do my make up for my wedding in September and I genuinely could not recommend her enough. She done my make up, my mums and my 4 bridesmaids. Everyone was absolutely delighted with their make up and Sharon is so lovey and calm and made the whole experience absolutely wonderful. Sharon is brilliant at what she does and I can not recommend her to future brides enough as everything will be in safe hands with Sharon on hand.xx                                                                                                                                                                                       Thank you again, Johanna

 

Teresa McCormack, Oct 5th 2018

“Sharon is incredible. Her work is fantastic and she makes every step of the preparation so easy. Makeup Trails were so relaxed, she made it so simple to decide on a look that would work so beautifully and one that would last for both daytime and evening.

On the day she was organised and professional. She worked so well with all the bridal party and we really enjoyed every minute of the morning. I highly recommend her for your bridal makeup and any other event you make have. Thank again, Teresa

 

Michelle Cregg, August 20th 2016

Sharon did mine, my four bridesmaids’ and my auntie’s makeup for my wedding.  I was really impressed with Sharon’s work from start to finish.  I was organising my wedding from the UK and Sharon was completely flexible in times for my trial.  At the trial she listened to my preferences and gave me lots of great ideas for what my makeup could be like on the day.  She also provided me with a list of the products she intended to use well in advance in case I wanted any for myself for the day and she also offered to get them for me.  However, I really didn’t need to top up anything other than lip gloss the whole day.  The products she uses are all of really high quality and this was important to me as I have particularly sensitive skin.

Thank you, Michelle

 

 

Helen Downey, July 20th 2018

Sharon did my makeup for my wedding in July and I was absolutely thrilled. Sharon took her time to listen to exactly what I didnt like at my makeup trial and from that she was able to create a look that I loved. My two bridesmaids and my mum were thrilled with theirs. Sharon is calm and relaxed and puts everyone at ease which is exactly what you need on the morning of the wedding. The makeup stayed flawless all day and night and didnt require any touch ups. I couldnt have asked for better!

Thanks again, Helen

 

Janette Maguire, August 10th 2018

‘Sharon is an exceptional talented make up artist and I was delighted to have her involved in our big day. Thank you so much for everything! I felt so beautiful on our wedding day. You are so lovely and such a delight to have around the morning of the wedding!! Any bride would be very lucky to have you as part of their big day, I am very grateful that you were part of mine’

Thanks Sharon

 

Aileen Fallon, August 24th 2018

I just wanted to thank you so much for the fantastic job you did on my make up for my wedding day, I really loved it. It was very natural which was exactly what I had wanted and not only lasted all day but all night too! I know my bridesmaids were very happy too, along with my Mum!!

You especially made Mum feel at ease as she doesn’t normally wear make up!

I really couldn’t have been happier on the day and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a professional make-up artist for their wedding or any special occasion for that matter, it was a pleasure to have you there the morning of the wedding.                                                                                                                                      Thanks, Aileen

 

Ciara Clarke, October 3rd 2015

Sharon was an absolute joy to work with. I was quite nervous about the make-up and ensuring it looked right on the day and she was so patient. On the day I didn’t need to make any changes, she just got it completely right, for me and the entire wedding party. It was such a great way to start the day! I would recommend Sharon to anyone that has the chance to work with her!                                                                                                                                  Thank you,Ciara

 

Caroline Fox, June 4th 2016

Just a short note to say I was so happy with my makeup on the day of the wedding, I felt like the best version of myself (all brides say that I know!) but I really did, I felt confident, happy in my skin and looked my best for the day.                                                                                                                                                                                               Loved the trial when we had a good chat about the look I was going for and how much makeup I was comfortable in, your suggestions were perfect and they definitely made my eyes pop!!                                                                        We all welcomed your relaxing presence on the morning which went off without a hitch. I would and have recommended you to friends, they have nothing to worry about with you holding a foundation brush the morning of their wedding!!                                                                                                                                                                    Thanks again, Caroline

 

D Sheehan,  4th Jul 2015

I am generally nervous of getting my make up done as I don’t like to look overly made up, but Sharon was brilliant from start to finish. The makeup she did for us was AMAZING – she made my bridesmaids look like supermodels, and I was delighted with my makeup too! The makeup lasted all day long as well, with no touch ups apart from the odd bit of lippy. I would recommend Sharon in a heartbeat. Thanks so much!

 

 

Gillian Gorman, 5th Jul 2014

Sharon was excellent so relaxed, professional and kind. Delighted with my makeup for my wedding and also the rest of the party were too . Sharon’s attention to detail was brilliant and she gave each of us so much time. Would highly recommend Sharon, Thank you again!

 

 

Janet Kenny, 11th Apr 2014

Sharon is so natural at her job; she does make up like it’s second nature to her. I found her professional so knowledgeable and trustworthy. I loved how she done my wedding make up doing exactly as I asked and when I needed direction and advice on colours etc she gave it honestly and without judgement. Myself and my bridal party were so comfortable around Sharon she fitted into our ‘getting ready mode’ like a glove. Sharon is a makeup fairy godmother. Highly recommend this lady xx Lots of love, Janet

Sligo, October 2014
I can not recommend Sharon highly enough as a wedding make up artist. From the moment I got in touch with Sharon enquiring about her availability, to the day of the wedding itself, I found her extremely professional & easy to deal with at all times. Her experience & product knowledge is second to none.  On the day of the wedding Sharon arrived with a smile & calmness that was very welcome in a really busy house. Myself, my three bridesmaids & Mum all had our make-up done.Sharon took her time with each of us & at no stage did any of us feel rushed. My Mum was delighted with hers, as she doesn’t normally wear eye make up, so Sharon suggested using clear mascara, which worked really well. I was absolutely thrilled with all our make up, I got so many complements throughout the day. After a long day & night, and an awful lot of dancing, my make up lasted really well & I have been singing Sharon’s praises ever since. Thank you again Sharon, you did an amazing job.

Sligo, August 2013
Thank you so much Sharon for the fantastic work you did in making my wedding party and myself look and feel fabulous on my big day in August! Everything we asked for in terms of our individual make up ideas were delivered thanks to your expertise! You are brilliant at your job and highly recommended! Not only that; you helped us all to relax (especially me!) Thanks once again and best of luck in all you do!

Roscommon, December 2013
Sharon did my make up for my Wedding in December. Having had a very smooth make-up trial in advance of the Wedding, I was in no doubt that Sharon would have me looking fabulous for my big day! During the trial she spent alot of time determining the style I was going for. I wanted a smoky eye and Sharon used a beautiful purple shade that I would never have considered using if I were to do my makeup myself. The make-up really enhanced my best features. The morning of the wedding, Sharon arrived in early and full of enthusiasm. She did make-up for three bridesmaids, my mother and me. She did a fabulous job! Everyone looked stunning. My mother didn’t want much eye makeup in case her eyes watered and Sharon managed to make her eyes look striking without any liner or mascara. Sharons professional approach, expertise and creative edge ensures that she is the only makeup artist I would have considered for my wedding. I would trust her 100% for any event/wedding/photoshoot.

Roscommon, November 2013
I found Sharon McCormack online whilst looking up Wedding Make-Up artists in the West of Ireland. Sharon’s name came up time and time again as one of the top Make-Up artists on various websites and forums so I decided to have a look at her website directly. Her portfolio was full of gorgeous bridal photos with various different looks, from the more natural look to the dramatic look. I was sold immediately. I got in contact via e-mail, and Sharon was very quick to respond to my message. As I live in Cambridge, and was arranging a Wedding in Roscommon, it was refreshing and stress relieving to have Sharon on board as she made booking the make-up trial and arranging the wedding day very easy. We kept in contact, and Sharon was able to answer all questions I had with a friendly and reassuring response. I was delighted with my make-up trial; I asked for a smokey, more dramatic eye, and specifically didn’t want any shimmer/glitter. Sharon did exactly what I asked of her and I left feeling confident that my make-up would look beautiful on the day. On the day of the wedding, Sharon showed up at 8am on the button. She did the make-up of 3 of my bridesmaids and my aunty, and they were all delighted with the outcome!! They looked fabulous!! I was also thrilled with mine; the proof is in the pudding as they say, so check out the photos ϑ I found Sharon to be professional and helpful throughout my whole wedding experience, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat for a friend’s wedding. Sharon’s customer service was second to none. Best of luck to Sharon in the future!!!

Cavan, December 2012
On the day of my wedding Sharon was nothing short of brilliant. She worked her magic on myself and my 3 bridesmaids. She had us all looking flawless. She was professional, creative and only for her ideas i would have went with my usual safe option on the day! I had so much confidence in her that i was super relaxed the whole morning and it was lovely to have her with us on such a special occasion. Over the course of the day my make up stayed perfect. Even at 4am everyone commented on how great my make up still looked. I really didn’t want to take it off! When i look back on my photographs i’m so thrilled with how we all looked. Our eyes looked so blue and our skin so flawless. Everyone who has looked at my photos has admired our make up. From the advice Sharon gave me for my wedding i’m definitely more confident in changing my look .She gave me great advice on emphasising my eyes and how to achieve that “to die for” cheek bones look…I’m even getting in on the whole lip color thing!!! Sharon’s creative flare is one of the things that really stands out for me. She has supreme confidence in what she is doing. Her advice and encouragement to leave my comfort zone really paid off and that extra special look is exactly what i wanted and got….. Thank you Sharon for doing such a wonderful job on the day of my wedding. I couldn’t have been happier and i will be highly recommending you to all my engaged friends!!!!

Roscommon, May 2012
Thank you so much for the amazing work you did on the makeup for my wedding day in May 2012. My mum, four Bridesmaids and I were all transformed by your talent hand. I felt like you used a magic wand to transform us. We didn?t have to touch up at all and make up lasted well into the wee hours, almost so I felt I could wear it again the next day!!! We got so many compliments. Even looking back on pictures and the DVD our makeup is just flawless. You were so professional but also very friendly and fun. I felt like it was a friend doing my makeup. So many people have asked who did our makeup and have asked for your details. I would highly recommend you Sharon to anyone looking for a Makeup Artist for any special occasion. Thank you so very much. I wish you all the best in your future.

Roscommon, May 2011
Sharon is a truly professional, creative make up artist. She listened to exactly what I wanted on my trial and it turned out as amazing on the day. She was great on the morning of the wedding while all hell broke loose around her. The make up lasted as she promised for the whole day with only lip gloss touch up required! The bridesmaids were delighted with their make up too. Big ten out of ten for the makeup and I would have no hesitation in recommending her
Grace Malone


Roscommon, July 2011
Sharon was recently the make up artist for my wedding. She managed to make seven of us look beautiful without even breaking a sweat! Our make up was beautifully applied and lasted the entire day. She was lovely to have in the house on the morning of the wedding, fun and extremely professional at the same time. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again.

Sligo, October 2011
‘Sharon did a fantastic job at my wedding in October 2011. She had a busy morning with my make up, the two bridesmaids and my mum! She arrived early and started on the bridesmaids first as I couldn’t settle down! ha ha One of my bridesmaids wanted to try false eyelashes for the first time and Sharon was great, well up for it and full of advice on how to look after them and how to apply them in the future! As Sharon discovered on my trail make up session a couple of weeks before the wedding, I’m very dark under my eyes and again Sharon was well able for the challenge! The make up lasted perfectly for the day, not even the few tears that were shed could leave a mark! I would highly recommend Sharon for anyone’s Wedding day, she stepped into my house with no fuss and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Thanks so much Sharon!! You’re a STAR!’

“Sharon was absolutely wonderful to deal with. The morning of the wedding can be stressful with everything going on, but with her calm personality there was absolutely no stress. She did makeup for myself my two bridesmaids and my mum and we were all thrilled with her work. She spent plenty of time on each of us nobody was rushed. I’m from Dublin but my wedding was in Roscommon, Sharon very kindly accommodated me for my makeup trial and came to Dublin for it. I would highly recommend her.”

Roscommon, October 2011
‘Sharon did my make up , 2 bridesmaides and my mother’s for my wedding day. She arrived early to my house and was so professional and set up straight away. She is a very calm and relaxing person to have around (especially on the morning of the wedding). All of our make-up was flawless and stayed on well into the early hours of the morning. The only top-ups required was lip stick and gloss! I was delighted with all our make-up and everyone commented on how natural the make up looked. She even “entertained” my 3 year old niece who demanded to get her make up done (by giving her gloss and letting her pick out what colours she would like). I would highly recommend Sharon, loved her work a true professional.’

“I was really impressed with the service Sharon provided on my wedding day. My make-up was beautiful and all of my bridesmaids were really happy with their make-up also. Our make-up stayed on all day long and looked flawless in the photographs. I would really recommend Sharon to potential brides.”

Roscommon, June 2011
Sharon is an amazing make-up artist and I was so glad that she was available to do my make up for my wedding in June; I think I got one of her last available bookings for 2011. My make-up, my mums and my bridesmaid’s make-up was perfect and lasted well into the wee hours of the morning. (She also fitted in my Aunt who was not originally booked in with no problem at all). I was so happy to get my wedding photos back and see how well we all looked. Sharon is a fib and friendly person and made us all feel relaxed on the morning and stayed with us until it was time for the church. I would highly recommend Sharon McCormack make-up for your special day.

Roscommon, July 2011
I got married in July. I spent the year previous researching every detail as all you brides to be would know. I had a very clear vision on how the day would be from Decor to flowers, bridesmaid dress to make up. I just needed to find the people who could see the vision as I did. When it came to the make up, this needed to be perfect (as I would be very handy with an eye shadow brush myself) Sharon came to my house for a trial, I explained my idea for me and my bridesmaids and away she went. The trial went brilliant; it was such a weight off my mind, as you can imagine there was so much more I needed to get off my list. The day of the wedding Sharon came to the house and got straight into it, she really is a true professional very focused and detailed. I can say hand on heart the makeup was perfect, not one touch up all day. I was extremely emotional on the day crying every other minute and the first thing I’d say to my chief was “fix my make up” and every time she said it’s perfect! When I cry there is no hiding it, my eyes, nose and cheeks go red. But looking at the pictures you would never know I shed a tear. I am so glad I found Sharon the tools the makeup and the method was excellent. Thanks again Sharon, I know you’ll be very busy for a very long time. Donna w you’ll be very busy for a very long time.

Thank you so much for doing such a great job at our wedding – my own makeup, as well as the girls and Mum – we were all delighted with it and it was great not to have to touch up during the day. You were brilliant at knowing what colours suited each of us and I would definitely (and have!!) recommend anybody to use you as their makeup artist! For such a big day, it was great to have someone who knew what they were doing and made us all look like princesses!! Thanks a million x

Roscommon, August 2011
I cannot thank Sharon enough for the brilliant job she did getting us already on the morning of my wedding, she was so professional & had a great calming effect on what I expected to be a panic filled morning, but she arrived bright & early leaving more than enough time to make sure we all were looking fabulous with plenty of time for a glass of champagne & lots of pictures to be taken before leaving the house. All us ladies had different make up styles & needs, from more funky to classical as we ranged in age from being in our twenties, thirties, forties & fifties & everyone was so happy with their make-up. I myself was a bit worried as I have a touch of rosacea but my make-up lasted all day & I received so many compliments specifically about my make-up. I couldn’t recommend Sharon enough, she is a very talented make-up artist & is such a warm lovely person too, and it was a joy to have her in our home the morning of my wedding.

Cork, August 09:
Sharon first did my make up for a wedding I was attending, I was just after having a baby and as you can imagine I was exhausted with black circles down to my chin. I not only received many compliments on the day (no touch ups needed), but in the photos people have commented on young I look in them, all I can say is Sharon worked her magic. I have used and recommended Sharon on many occasions since this, for special nights out, and as part of a bridal party. Sharon is highly professional with a bright and bubbly personality and a great sense of humour, that will put any bridal party at ease. Her attention to detail and the personal taste of each person is never compromised. I’ve been raving about her to my friends so much that I have contacted her recently to do a girls night in for a group of us and I am thoroughly looking forward to it. I have had my make up done on many occasions for different events, but Sharon takes it to another level… with her box of tricks she is a make-up magician.
Rachel Nash


Dublin, July 2009:
Sharon has done my make up for me on many times for different occasions. I find her just brilliant. She is extremely professional and my makeup always turns out amazing. Sharon has a range of makeup to choose from and knows exactly what will suit your face, colouring and your outfit. She is excellent on creating the key look you want whether it is for a night on the town, a wedding or for something more relaxed. Sharon recently did my make up as part of a bridal party. Everyone of the bridesmaids and bride were more than delighted with the results. The makeup lasted the whole day, and looked so natural. Sharon managed to calm our nerves by chatting away to us all and stayed with us until we were ready to run off to the church in case of any last minute top ups! I would highly recommend Sharon as a Top Makeup artist to everyone.
Mary McCormack


Sligo, June 2009:
Sharon gave me a special look for my birthday party. I was delighted with the outcome especially my eyes. They looked amazing and I received many compliments. Sharon is a very professional make up artist. She came up with several different ideas and was able to explain them to me very clearly. I was spoilt for choice!!! I would definately use Sharon again for any occassion where I want to look my best.
Claire Rickard


Cork, May 2009:
I was completely impressed by the professional service provided by Sharon McCormack Make-up. Sharon was efficient in having my make-up prefect, yet done in a timely manner acording to my taste. She provided excellent artistic advice in make- up application and was competively priced. I received numerous positive compliments on my make-up which lasted throughout the wedding day without a single touch up. I would recommend Sharon to anyone who expects high standards in make-up application.
