I can not speak highly enough about Essie. I will do my best to be concise about why her service was so top notch but if you read nothing beyond this know that Essie is SO talented and was far and away my favorite and most professional vendor in the wedding process. I will be returning to her for all of my makeup needs in the future.

- Skill and Execution: Essie is so unbelievably talented at her craft. She is a true artist and made me the most beautiful version of myself! One of the most important things to me was that I wouldn't look overdone and it would be very natural. She accomplished this with ease but was also able to accommodate those who wanted to a more dramatic look. On the 8 different women she worked on every single one of us had beautiful, flawless and glowing skin which was a great palate for the stunning detail she gave to our eyes and lips.

- Planning: she was completely clear about the services she offered, what they cost and the exact time it would take to complete the job.

- Communication: She checked in with me frequently to be sure that she had all the necessary details - she was the only wedding vendor that I did not have to confirm anything with because she proactively came to me and did that.

- Accomodating: After my trial with her I mentioned that I wanted to modify my eyeliner and she was happy to accomodate and remembered the day of which was several months later.

- Attitude and personality: I had no idea how much the personality of our beauty team was going to play in the our day of getting ready. It was such a joy to have Essie with us -- she has such a great personality and energry and she really contributed to the fun day that we had.
