Laura Sent on 11/26/2019Ellen is fantastic!
Ellen made my mom and I feel so special on my wedding day! She listened to what I wanted and made my face beautiful. She always had a smile on her face and was truly professional. Thank you Ellen for making a bride and her momma feel like a million bucks. I highly recommend! -

Nicole Sent on 01/13/2019Ellen and her team will make you feel and look amazing!
Hiring Ellen and her team was hands-down one of the best decisions I made planning this wedding. For some reason I had a hard time finding a makeup and hair team -- so many were flaky, not responding to my emails and calls, or really controlling -- telling me they didn't want to talk to my mom, who had questions because of a prior bad experience. After some searching, I found Ellen -- immediately when speaking with her I knew she'd be different. Professional, calm, and accommodating. She talked to me for a long time and answered every question I had. Unlike other companies, her team was always responsive to my questions. She welcomed my mom and me into her home for a trial, which made us feel so comfortable.
All of that is great -- but she is an amazing makeup artist, and her hair team was unbelievable too. I felt like a superstar and frankly, looked flawless in every one of my photos :-) I had a very diverse set of women in age, skin tone, hair type, and style, and they were able to handle everything. They made my girls look unbelievably glamorous while also retaining their natural beauty -- no garishness here, all modern looks, and no one felt unnatural (especially because many of my girls aren't heavy makeup types). Most importantly, the moms were thrilled!!!
As importantly, her team was professional and calm, and I trusted Ellen with anything beauty-related. They showed up five minutes early to the bridal suite and immediately got to work. I knew I could relax because Ellen kept everyone on schedule -- the last thing you want on the morning of your wedding is a hectic vibe.
Bottom line, I loved working with Face the Day and would recommend them to anyone!

User2561398 Sent on 03/25/2016I got married this past weekend and had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Face the Day hair and makeup team! Everything about the experience was perfect, from the prompt communication prior to the event to the actual day! They arrived at my hotel room exactly at our planned time and promptly set up their supplies and their stations. Myself, 5 bridesmaids, and my mother in law were all completed in our planned timeframe. The women were professional, yet made us all feel comfortable and listened to our visions perfectly. My makeup and hair were flawless and held up all night long through hours on the dance floor and a few happy tears. My bridesmaids all looked absolutely stunning and my mother in law, who was hesitant about getting her makeup done and looking “too made up”, looked incredible and ended up totally loving it! I would highly recommend! They are fun to have around during the getting ready process and make you look and feel truly beautiful! Thank you Ellen!! -
User2295220 Sent on 09/01/2015I can’t say enough great things about Ellen and her Face the Day team. They are absolutely amazing! My mom has always been picky with makeup her whole life, I have never known her to like anyone’s attempt to do her makeup. She was miserable with her hair and makeup at my sister’s wedding and I didn’t want the same thing to happen at mine. Luckily, Ellen came to the rescue! My mom left her makeup and hair trial raving about Ellen and her team - I was absolutely shocked! I was so lucky to not only find someone to accomodate my mom, but my whole bridal party! My girls looked stunning and each of their looks fit what they wanted and their individual personalities. I was so happy with the results, and so were my girls! Although I didn’t personally get my makeup done by Face the Day, I know that I can speak for all 10 girls when I say they did a stellar job!Face the Day NY's reply:
Thank you so much Alexa. It was fun getting the team together to share in the beauty, fun and laughter with your bridesmaids and family. I hope you had the wedding of your dreams and best wishes for a life ahead filled with laughs and many blessings.
Warm Regards,
Ellen : ) -
User2351604 Sent on 10/05/2015I worked with Ellen and her team for my traditional Indian wedding. I searched high and low among Indian hair and makeup vendors who would actually listen to my desires and expectations, but to no avail. Ellen and her team were the completely different. During our trial run, she immediately put me at ease with her positive attitude, patience in discussing the look I wanted, and overall mastery of her art. She maintained a great sense of humor and professionalism at all times. On my wedding day, she and her team arrived on time and replicated the look we discussed. They also did my Mom's makeup, which looked fantastic! I was able to approach my wedding day with the utmost confidence. If I had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate to choose Ellen and her team to do my hair and makeup. I cannot recommend them enough!Face the Day NY's reply:
Thanks so much it was our pleasure to work with you as well☺
Best wishes
Ellen :) -
User1674201 Sent on 06/23/2014I cannot recommend Face the Day highly enough! Since I was an out-of-town bride, I was only in New York the week of the wedding, but the Face the Day team was able to fit in my trials on the Monday before to accomodate my schedule. On the day of the wedding, my hair and makeup, as well as that of my mom, maid of honor, and aunt, looked flawless and stayed put for over 12 hours. They did a great job of listening to what we wanted and delivered the natural look we all were hoping for. Thanks for making us all look fantastic on my wedding day!

User1857039 Sent on 10/10/2014What can I say to fully express how amazing Ellen is? There are truly no words to describe how perfect my makeup was. Ellen is an expert in what she does in every sense of the word. I loved my consultation where she did 2 looks on me. I loved them both. Then, I, of course, kind of changed my mind and went with a slightly different look for the day of the wedding. Ellen somehow understood all of that (both in terms of being flexible and just in terms of knowing what I wanted better than I did). My bridesmaids also looked AMAZING. To be sure, I did not want to look "fake" and neither did my husband (girls who look too "done-up" is kind of our pet peeve) and that's exactly why Ellen was so effective at giving me the exact look that I wanted. She's patient and a perfectionist. I looked like the best version of me on my best day. It's a joy to go through the process with her.
She also has been extremelly accommodating throughout the process. When she actually comes to you in the bridal suite, she brings personality and happiness to the event. I genuinely enjoyed having her around. Worth every penny! I literally cannot wait for the next excuse that I have to ask her do my face again! -

Lynnmarie Sent on 09/12/2013OMG!!! Ellen is amazing!!!! Brides to Be.. I'm not sure how to describes Ellen's work so I'll simply say. The day of my trial once Ellen was finished, I turned around to my Bride to Be and tears fell from her face instantly!!! Now if that isn't the seal of approval, then I don't know what is. If that doesn't do it for you, the day of my wedding was one of the hottest days in New York, I must tell you that my make-up was perfect that entire day. Still not enough for you. Welp! There's a final photo that was taken the night of our wedding (1:30am), can you believe people thought it was taken during our reception our. Ellen goes with the flow!! She's laid back, she's funny, she's on-time and bless her heart for lugging that Diva Kit of hers around New York to cater to this Chicago bride. What I'll remember most, I turned around to look at my mom on my wedding day and she said "you look like a porcelain doll, your face is flawless" Ellen Girlfriend... YOU ARE THE BOMB.COM!!!!!!Face the Day NY's reply:
Diva kit!!! LOL Yes I might over-pack a little but I need all my products!! : ) It was my pleasure to be of service to you and your fabulous bride. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to serve and also share some laughs in between. Whew that day was hot indeed but we definitely shared great memories. Thanks again Lynnmarie : ) -
User1092299 Sent on 02/17/2013Ellen and Michelle were outstanding! They arrived early (I love peole who value promptness) and immediately set up shop in my modest apartment, which Ellen transformed into a professional make-up studio, complete with chair and movie-star lamp. They were SO friendly (even my mom, who is very shy, could not stop chatting with them) and, most importantly, did a great job - they really listened to what we wanted (I wanted more dramatic hair and makeup, whereas my mom wanted to look like herself) and delivered! And it stayed all night (all I had to do was reapply gloss). Thank you ladies!!
