Wild Orchid
MAKEUP ARTIST
I'm Kirsty Pender,
A Luxury Make Up Artist From Hertfordshire
I'll help create your perfect Bridal look.
My mission is to help accentuate your own beauty for your Wedding day. Each look, for each Bride, is tailored to your own unique personality and style. My personal goal is to elevate what is already there. Lets work together to uncover the best version of you.
Kirsty is absolutely amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough. She spent ages understanding my skin and what would work perfectly on it for the most flawless finish – I wasn't caked in make up (always something I'm scared of!) but it lasted perfectly all day. The care and attention was second to none and I'll definitely be booking Kirsty again for future events! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Signature Look?
I adore glowing skin!
As a sufferer of Papulopustular Rosacea, I understand the struggles our skin can face. Whether you have the most perfect skin or not, I can achieve that glow from within, without affecting the skin barrier. This look can be achieved by myself no matter your age, skin tone or skin type.
If your vibe is a healthy looking base, which I believe is the foundation of every great look, then I'm the artist for you!
Real Brides
Better than I could have ever imagined!
I was recommended Kirsty through the florist I was getting my flowers from! I’ve never been so grateful for a recommendation, Kirsty was an absolute angel!
I had never had my makeup done professionally before, so didn’t even have the foggiest clue what I wanted for my big day.
For my trial she helped me work out what it was I was looking for and brought it to life. We did the trial in the morning and I had an engagement shoot the evening and the make up lasted all day even through a nap!
I dare say my make up turned out even better on the big day, and all my bridesmaids were beautifully done too. Honestly it was like hanging out with a friend getting my make up done, felt like I’d know Kirsty for ages, she put me so at ease.
All the bridesmaids were singing her praises too, both on how the make up looked and her company.
I could not recommend highly enough, which might of come across is my rambling review! But if you’re thinking of booking don’t hesitate and reach out! I’m sure you’ll have no regrets!

Bridal makeup with Kirsty
Kirsty did my makeup for our October wedding. We had already met in August for a pre-wedding trial which I would definitely recommend.
As a mature bride and someone who doesn't really wear much makeup and has literally no clue what to use or how, I was a little apprehensive. Kirsty put me at ease immediately.
She is friendly, professional and brilliant at her job. On the day, I felt at ease, confident and beautiful! I would highly recommend Kirsty.

Wonderful experience & HIGHLY recommended!
Kirsty was amazing from start to finish! She came early on the day and even stayed a while to touch up. She tailored all the looks to our outfits and was happy to make any changes we requested.
Myself, my sister & my mum all felt so comfortable and beautiful and the make up lasted all day.
You're amazing at what you do!! We will definitely use you for future events too! Xx

Wedding makeup
Kirsty was absolutely brilliant from initial contact. She understood the assignment! I had struggled to find an MUA that understood what I was looking for and she was a godsend. Going above and beyond to tailor my wedding look and communication was perfect. Both the trial and actual day I was made to feel relaxed and was more than satisfied with the results which were stunning! She really helped make me feel like a princess on my special day, and she’ll be my go to for any special event in the future. I would highly recommend her as an MUA ❤️

Perfect from start to finish
Kirsty was amazing.
From first contact she was quick at responding and great at answering any questions I had.
We arranged a trial and I showed some inspiration pics and she set to work. She created a fab look and I was so pleased. She checked in after the trial to see if there was anything I wanted to change or adapt. We spoke about changing the colour of the lip and Kirsty had so many options.
On the day Kirsty arrived promptly and set up and got to work. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. I had so many compliments on how flawless I looked and I can't recommend her enough!

Just want to say a massive Thank you!!!
We all loved our make up and it was lovely to have you there on the day! I really appreciate the time you put into making everyone look and feel amazing.

Exactly what I wanted!
Kirsty was amazing from the moment I messaged, to the moment I walked down the aisle. She was easy to contact, easy to message and an over all a lovely person! Kirsty was very professional, she offered tips and tricks on the trial run, listened to what I wanted and ran with it. My makeup turned out exactly how I wanted it, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Kristy did 4 women’s makeup on the day, she didn’t act stressed or overwhelmed in the slightest. She knew exactly what she was doing and that made me feel at ease.
I would 100% recommend Kirsty.

Perfect Bridal Makeup
I had the absolute pleasure of having Kirsty as my makeup artist for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From our first consultation, it was clear that she is not only incredibly talented but also truly cares about her clients. She took the time to listen to my vision, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she fully understood what I wanted before we even started.
Her attention to detail is impeccable. She perfectly matched my skin tone and customized the makeup to enhance my features without ever making me feel overdone. Despite the emotional day (and many tears), my makeup remained flawless, and I didn’t have to touch it up once!
Beyond her technical skills, is such a warm and lovely person. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed on what could have been a very stressful day. I truly felt like she was as invested in my happiness as I was. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and caring makeup artist. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!

Perfect Wedding Makeup
I could not recommend Kirsty enough!!!
Kirsty did the make up on my wedding day for myself and my bridesmaids. From the initial trial and leading up to the actual day, Kirsty was just amazing, so professional and responsive.
The makeup was perfect, not only did it last, it was exactly how I had envisioned to look on my big day.
The amount of compliments I got was a true testament to her work.
I would book her again in a heartbeat!!!

The loveliest and most talented MUA!
I would highly recommend Kirsty as your make up artist!
From the moment I met Kirsty at my trail I felt so relaxed in her company. Her attention to detail, communication, talents and flexibility were amazing. She went above and beyond to make myself and my bridal group feel beautiful, confident and well looked after... going the extra mile by organising a trail for my mother in law who was nervous about having her make up done by someone else, and also staying much longer than she needed to for touch ups and even helping me into my dress when my family were running behind schedule sorting other bits for the day!
The products she used were gorgeous quality and my make up stayed on all day and night even when it was the last warm day of September!
I cant wait to see my face in our professional photos (which I will of course share with you Kirsty!)
Keep doing what you do Kirsty, you are so talented! I will certainly be recommending you to everyone I know.
