Joanna is amazing! Myself, my bridal party, the moms and little flower girls were lucky enough to work with Joanna for our wedding in November. Joanna was incredibly kind, professional and listened to what each individual was looking for. She is an incredible makeup artist and incredible human being. Everyone was thrilled with how they looked. Highly recommend Joanna for your big day! -

Joanna is professional, warm, and an incredible artist! I worked with her during my microwedding in early 2021, and she was SO easy to work with. She's super responsive and flexible, which when downsizing from a 150 person wedding to a 10 person dinner party is an absolute must. Her work is also gorgeous; my friend and I had totally different makeup ideas, and Joanna ran with both of them and created beautiful looks. They held up all day through dinner, dancing, and quite a few happy tears. I can't wait to work with her again! -

I feel SO lucky to have had Joanna do my makeup for my wedding day. She is incredibly talented and organized.
From the moment I met Joanna B at my makeup trial, I knew that I was in the best hands. I immediately felt relieved knowing that my makeup artist truly cared about me and what I wanted on my wedding day.
She has a gift of making you feel super comfortable in your own skin. She does this by carefully listening to your requests, needs and every detail that you care about. She remembers everything.
I had 17 bridesmaids and Joanna helped me create a “getting ready” schedule that allowed us to not only be on time but be early.
On top of that, Joanna provided me with a makeup kit to take on my wedding day and even checked in with me the day after my wedding. She is the most thoughtful person.
If you are looking for a makeup artist… Joanna is the BEST! I would recommend her 1 million times over again!

Margaret Z. Sent on 06/07/2022The best wedding glam in Chicago!!!
I hope this review will do our experience with Joanna justice - there are truly not enough good words to describe her and her business!! Joanna is the MOST TALENTED makeup artist - she did my makeup four times throughout my wedding events and every time she had the best recommendations with totally separate looks! My entire wedding party was blown away by her expertise - she has an incredible ability to give anyone an elevated glam look, but also still looking uniquely you!!! She is also the kindest, most warm person - you just want to be her friend the minute you meet her! Joanna came highly recommended to me by a friend in the wedding industry, and it’s no surprise she’s so loved in the Chicago wedding world. She is truly the best in the business. She is so attentive to every detail, need, concern, etc. From our very first conversation to sitting in her chair on my wedding day, she put me at ease - so calming and fun to be around. Also for any MOBs or MOGs - my mom sings Joanna's praises daily! She would hire her for her makeup every day in a heart beat. Her talent is just INSANE!!! You will feel so special working with Joanna!! -

I am absolutely ecstatic to add to the extensive list of rave reviews about Joanna. First, she is extremely talented - my bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law, looked flawless for the entire day and night. She crushes everything from a natural to glam look, and you will still look like “yourself”. Second, she uses the best products and has excellent recommendations - I now have a completely updated skincare and make-up routine. Third, she is extremely responsive and organized. She will follow-up with you after your trial to see what worked and what did not - and she will remember all of those details on your wedding day months later. We all felt absolutely beautiful and confident, and I took pride in giving my bridesmaids the “gift” of Joanna! -

First Vendor I Booked! Joanna is the BEST!
When I got engaged in June 2019 the first message I sent was to Joanna to coordinate when she was available with the wedding dates we were considering, I had followed her for a while on Instragram leading up to getting engaged and I absolutely loved her work and knew I had to have her for my wedding day. She was incredible to work with through it all- makeup for my engagement photos and multiple reschedulings due to Covid, but boy was it worth the wait! Joanna is a true professional and incredibly talented, I never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day! Not only was my makeup perfection, but it stayed all day & night through many cries, and I was well equipped to touch up throughout the day thanks to Joanna's touch up kit. My entire bridal party and mom/MIL loved their makeup and looked so beautiful, and I cannot recommend Joanna enough! She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, talented, and so friendly that it was such a pleasure to work with her! Thanks again Joanna! -

Can’t recommend Joanna enough!
From my first email with Joanna I knew I made the right choice in hiring her to do my make up on my wedding day. She is unbelievably kind, patient, and easy going. She’s extremely timely in her email responses and reliable, which you need with your wedding vendors!
She helped me with tips for skin prep leading up to the wedding in person during trials, then went above and beyond emailing me a summary of those tips with links. She’s so knowledgeable about all things skin prep. She’ll give you honest feedback on anything you ask her advice about. She’s just incredible.
I had her do my make up for my engagement photos, wedding trial, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Each time I saw her you could tell she listened to what I previously said and her attention to detail is impeccable. I was indecisive about what I wanted for my make up and she helped me figure it out being patient and kind the entire time. She followed up after each appointment to check how the make up lasted and for feedback. I’ve never loved how my make up looked when I have had it done professionally before, but I truly have never loved my make up more than when Joanna did it. I am thinking of any excuse to have her do my make up again. The make up she did for me on my wedding day was honestly absolutely perfect. It’s exactly what I wanted but better. She also gave a make up kit for touch ups and runs your MOH through what’s included in it so you don’t have to worry at all. But I didn’t even need touch ups because it was so perfect.
Not only is she incredibly detail oriented in her communication, skin prep tips, and make up, but she’s the kind of person you want to have around on your wedding day. Her easy going, go with the flow, and fun personality make the day much more relaxing and enjoyable. Everyone who got their make up done looked amazing and had nothing but good things to say about Joanna.
I truly cannot recommend her enough and absolutely loved my experience working with Joanna. -

Joanna was my makeup artist for my wedding in July. She was extremely talented, timely, and professional. I cannot give her higher remarks! She made me feel so beautiful without me feeling like I had too much makeup on. My bridesmaids also raved about their makeup! The makeup lasted all day & I appreciated the touch up kit that Joanna provided. She even gave me a whole lip liner pencil for me to keep. She goes above and beyond and won't settle for anything less than perfection! I could not recommend Joanna enough & you would be so lucky to have her!!! -

Leah D. Sent on 07/29/2021Joanna B Artistry emphasis on ARTISTRY!
Our wedding was almost 1 month ago, and I’ve been trying for weeks to find the appropriate words that convey the gratitude I have for Joanna (Joanna B. Artistry). Joanna is one of a kind, extremely personable and a true professional in the industry. Our original wedding date was set for 8/15/20 and getting engaged less than a year before, I was in a rush to lock in my team of vendors. I reached out to a friend who sent me multiple MUA suggestions, one being Joanna, as my friend was a bridesmaid in a recent wedding of hers. Joanna was available for my date and after chatting on the phone I quickly locked her in for myself plus 8 bridesmaids, my mom and future mother in law. We did my initial makeup trial in December 2020 and I was the bride that brought a few inspiration photos but didn’t really give much direction to the look I was going for. Joanna was patient, confident and so skilled that she knew what look would complement my features/skin tone and went to work. She delivered A+ bridal glam while still having me look like my natural self, false lashes and all. She even updated my look right then after the trial by adding a red lip for my engagement shoot that afternoon, which was such a sweet and unexpected gesture.
Fast forward to spring 2020, pandemic in full swing and a new wedding date of 6/26/21. Joanna stuck with me through all the many changes, didn’t take advantage of the situation by adding contract addendum fees and even offered a Black Friday deal for rehearsal dinner glam for her brides. She stayed in touch, checked in and made me feel confident and excited for our new wedding date. Joanna also stayed on top of beauty and makeup trends while events were all cancelled or postponed during the spring. Her Instagram is my favorite as she shares honest opinions/reviews about both skin and makeup products.
I also booked another make up session for round 2 engagement photos with Joanna that October and it’s true talent when you can create multiple looks on the same person for different occasions. On the wedding day, Joanna brought an assistant with her (as planned) for our wedding day as we had 11 people total and her assistant was top of the line talent as well. My whole bridal party felt beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire night without even needing to touch up (although Joanna provides her brides with a generous touch up kit, just in case). It’s also important to note that it was raining sideways and extremely humid, but looking at the bridal party, you’d never know judging by our long lasting glam.
I highly recommend getting your makeup done for the rehearsal as well as I wish there was a recording of my reaction when Joanna showed me the “finished product” in the mirror. I was SO excited and after already having 2 trials, having one the day before the wedding made me confident that I would feel like my best self on the biggest day of my life and let me tell you, I did. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. I have also never seen my mom look so gorgeous and it made me happy that she was so happy! I call Joanna a wizard because she’s casually chatting with you, so calm, focused and voila! hands you the mirror and it’s truly a natural work of art. I’m already trying to think of reasons why I need my makeup professionally done to utilize Joanna again. I could not recommend anyone better and trust you are in GREAT hands with the loveliest of professionals, Joanna B. Artistry.
