Highly recommend!!

Kelly from Face the Occasion was fantastic and I'm so happy with my decision to work with her for my wedding day! She did a trial for my mom and I, and she incorporated all of our feedback and made us feel 100% comfortable about wedding day. She did such a beautiful job creating a natural, elevated look for myself and my girls on my wedding day and the makeup lasted the whole night (and into the next morning because I had too much fun to take it off). She is the sweetest and makes you feel at ease in her chair. I highly recommend!

Wedding makeup

We had the pleasure of working with Jill. This woman is AMAZING! She not only did an amazing job on 3 bridesmaids and the bride (I was a bridesmaid)..but also saved the day! 6 days before the wedding our original hair and makeup people canceled and also the brides dress was ruined by the alterations crew. Jill responded within 12 hours of me reaching out and she was so flexible and helpful! She even helped by giving options for other dress shops and alterations. The day of she was prompt and so wonderful. She fit right in with everyone and made sure to ask questions and listen to what we wanted. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Hire this woman and I promise you you will look and feel beautiful and feel like you've known her your whole life! Thank you again Jill!

Face the Occasion, and Kelly specifically, was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. For whatever reason, choosing a make-up artist was one of the hardest things for me, and I ended up doing three trials. I really wanted to look and feel like myself, just a special version, and with other artists, I didn't feel like myself afterwards, and I didn't feel as if they were communicative enough to help me figure out what I was looking for. Kelly was so incredibly kind, patient, and talented. She spent so much time with me at my trial and made me feel instantly comfortable. I felt flawless on my wedding day, and my bridesmaids that had their make-up done kept coming up to me and saying, "Your make-up artist is seriously GOOD." Everyone's make-up still looked great over 10 hours after it was done, and I am so appreciative of Kelly for being so open, so talented, and so kind. She is exactly who you want to help transform you into a bride on one of the most special days of your life! Book Face the Occasion!

As a photographer the makeup artist is really important to me! Every time I have worked with Face the Occasion they have done an outstanding job! They do perfect bridal makeup. Just enough makeup but never too much. They are good at keeping it fresh and natural looking. It really helps in the photos to hire someone good!
