Can anyone recommend a makeup artist in Edinburgh?

The person Julie was talking to for the wedding has fallen through, so she needs someone else sharpish to do her, the bridesmaids, etc.

If anyone has any recommendations then please let me know!

(She wants someone who comes with their own sets of makeup, etc. if that helps winnow it down.)
