Hil Cook - Testimonials
Meek Photographer
I'm a commercial and fashion photographer based in Auckland and have had the good fortune to work with Hil Cook on many occasions over the past years. Hil is an absolute professional at what she does. She is technically one of the best makeup artists Iıve worked with and has fantastic creative vision - I enjoy collaborating with her on ideas as she always brings a fresh and unique perspective. Hil also has a lovely energy and sense of humour about her which helps the talent to feel very at ease and makes for a fun atmosphere and a smooth shoot. I would highly recommend Hil to anyone requiring a top class makeup artist, and if you would like a verbal reference please feel free to get in touch with me on the following contacts:

Hil, both Scott and I would like to express our true appreciation at the time and energy you put in to making us feel and look so very special on a day that will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives. You were so lovely to work with. All of my fears about being an older bride were laid to rest and I was able to be so relaxed right through the day. Thank you!!!

Hi Hil,
I had a wonderful day. Everybody LOVED my hair and Steve said I looked like an angel! It was such a wonderful treat to feel so glamorous for a day.
It seemed like a lot of money when I booked in but the bridesmaids and I agreed it was worth every penny. You and Angela were
so well equipped and you both did such a wonderful job. Thank you!!!
I'll send some photos through when I have them, you are welcome to use them
on your website if they come out well.
Thanks again.

While looking through bridal magazines for ideas for my upcoming wedding, I came across a shoot for a local designer and thought the modelsı makeup was fabulous I subsequently discovered it was Hil! Iıve had makeovers in both Australia and the UK and none compared to the look that Hil gave me on my wedding day. Not only did she transform myself, but my bridal party including the flowergirl (5), junior bridesmaid (13) and the bridesmaid, so that people commented on the day, and when seeing the photography, on how stunning the whole party looked. Hil suggested colours and hair styles from the onset, some of which I was originally a little wary of, but she proved me wrong and came up with better options than those in my head and has subsequently introduced me to some more modern ideas for which I am using post the wedding! Not only did we look great on the wedding day, but we had fun getting ready, and Hil managed to mix getting the job done and staying focused, with remaining relaxed and calm so we could all enjoy the process and lead up. I felt a million dollars walking down the aisle and would recommend Hil to be a professional artist that takes the hassle out of wedding hair and makeup and in doing so, helps in making your wedding day all the more special.

I really enjoy working with Hil as she understands the looks that I am going for and is able to interpret a wide variety of styles and looks with a professional and modern finish.

Hil has given me three completely different looks over three years, and she always gives me exactly what I'm aiming for, even when I don't know quite what that is. She is very sensitive with colours for eyes and lips, and can hide the most glaring problems of an aging face. I completely trust Hil's instincts and expertise. She has made me look a million dollars and I have no hestitaion in recommending her for any assignment pertaining to hair and make up.
