"The best makeup artist I have ever worked with"
Ruth is an absolute joy and I have to say, that without doubt, she is the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. I really loved the way she styled my hair, with many different looks for the shoot and she has a knack of knowing what suits you and also, what the client wants. My makeup was beautiful. Being a mature model, it was fantastic to have a MUA that gave me glowing makeup that made me look younger ! She is so professional, but also a lot of fun. Can’t wait to work with you many more times. Thank you, Makeup By Ruth ❤️

"A joy to have on set and ridiculously talented"
I have been designing both couture and commercial gowns for a decade. In every single concept and commercial shoot I have had I have used Ruth and her team and I wouldn't consider using anyone else. Our relationship has developed so much more than using her as a hired gun. Ruth has been involved in the concept/storyboarding stages and is integral to the process. On a personal note, she is professional, kind, a joy to have on set and ridiculously talented. Honestly, I won't step on a red carpet without her doing my own glam!

"Mixes her impeccable skills with the brush with an impeccable inner personal skills"
As a photographer, I want my clients to feel good. It goes hand in hand if they look good, that they will feel good, but to feel really good you have to work beneath the skin. This is what Ruth does so well. Mixes her impeccable skills with the brush with an impeccable inner personal skills to make her clients feel wonderful. I’ve works with Ruth many times over the years and have seen this time and time again. This is unusual. Very. It makes my job a doddle. Not just at the getting ready stage, but until I leave in the evening.

"Her professionalism, her knowledge and experience radiates on location,"
I work with a variety of makeup artists on commercial and advertisement projects through my production company, Barrett Film Co. I have to say that Ruth always stands out and is my first port of call. Her professionalism, her knowledge and experience radiates on location and as a Director, she always understands what I am creatively trying to achieve. She has such an extensive range of products that are suitable for almost anything we throw at her, so as you can guess, I am a huge fan. Goes without saying that I recommend her to everyone I can, here’s to many more in the future.

She has always been punctual and adhered to brand mood boards , but also helped with expanding on ideas and concepts.

"If you're looking for one of the best, Ruth should be top of your list"
As a photographer, I work with a few makeup artists and if you're looking for one of the best, Ruth should be top of your list. An absolute pro of a makeup artist and a gem of a human being! Always helpful and a good laugh on the morning of the wedding and goes the extra mile for her ladies. Never to busy to give me a bit of time to get some great shots during prep and everyone she lays her hands on looks stunning which makes my job a breeze! 100% recommend.

"Not only do I think she is amazing at her job but also know plenty of other suppliers in the wedding industry that think a lot about her"
I have had the pleasure of working with Ruth many times over the past few years and have always thought how professional she was. Her work alone speaks for its self but on top of her outstanding Make Up & Hair skills she is also a lovely person who keeps her clients calm on an occasion that can get rather stressful. Not only do I think she is amazing at her job but also know plenty of other suppliers in the wedding industry that think a lot about her. I have been recommending her to my clients for a long time now, and will continue to.
