10 OF THE BEST: Make-up artists in Gwent

We asked and you delivered - and then some.

In fact, such was the unprecedented level of responses - almost 2,000 comments were posted to the Argus Facebook post on the subject - that it is clear there are many talented make-up artists to choose from in the area.

So bowled over with the response are we, that we've decided to make this week's 'Five of the Best' feature a '10 of the Best' instead.

Here they are:

The Face Boss Studio

Cassie Ormond said: “The girls are so professional and so lovely. Such genuine girls.

"Meg usually does my makeup but they’re all so fab! Gorgeous place too, always leave feeling flawless”.

Sophie Holt said: “The Face Boss Studio I would not let anyone else do my makeup! Not only are the girls friendly and professional, they have an amazing talent!”

Zoe Trigwell Makeup Academy

Client Kita Davies

Sophie Powell said: “Zoe did my make as I was a bridesmaid my skin wasn’t the best, but she managed to do a flawless look on me. Her work is stunning.

Jenna did my wedding makeup and just took what I threw at her and made it look 10 times better than I ever thought it could be. I couldn’t be happier. Jenna kept me sane and calm throughout the whole time she was with me. Her work is lovely.

Scarlett did my makeup for a wedding I was going to. Her attention to detail is amazing. She made me feel welcome and beautiful.

All three are amazing and you wouldn't be left disappointed”.
