Absolutely incredible!

My experience with Essie was absolutely incredible! The initial trial and booking process was beyond seamless and the day of experience was more spectacular than I could’ve ever asked for! Essie and her team had everything organized, cleaned, and set up to ensure it was an easy and enjoyable wedding morning. All my ladies and of course, myself, were beyond happy with our naturally beautiful makeup and I’m so grateful to have share my big day with Essie! Would recommend to every upcoming bride!

Cannot reccommend enough!

Essie is the absolute best. She is pure perfection when it comes to make up - making you look the most natural and flawless at the same time. She is exceptional - you don't even need to tell her a direction, she just gets it without a word.

On top of that (and maybe more importantly), her vibe is NEXT LEVEL. She brings the perfect energy, chill but excited, organized but easy going. Essie and her assistant (Riley) are an ABSOLUTE dream to work with and I could not recommend them enough. Essie was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day and I wish we could do it all again. LOVE YOU ESSIE!

Essie Cohen is THE BEST!

Essie is a true artist and even better person! Feeling lucky to have had her for my wedding makeup, she made me, my bridesmaids, and mother look & feel stunning. Her talent is unmatched, creating a comfortable and natural look especially for someone who's not into a lot of makeup. Everything stayed flawless all day and had zero worries! I highly recommend Essie for anyone in need of a fantastic makeup artist in the Westchester/NYC area!
