    Natalie is the BEST!!!

    First thing first, I'm very particular. The last time I let someone do my makeup was for my high school prom. And I'm in my mid-30s, so that was a looong time ago. I just feel like nobody knows how to work around the quirks of my face better than I do. That said, I LOVED Natalie's work and if I ever have another event where I need to look especially good, I'd use her again in a heartbeat. I used Natalie for my October 2018 wedding in Boston. I booked her from afar since I was living in NC at the time. I looked through hours and hours of different makeup artists' portfolios and Natalie's stood out from the others...each face she did was beautiful and natural. No crazy before/after transformation photos with her! Plus, she's done Tom Brady's makeup for commercials...I figure if she's good enough for Tom, then she's good enough for me! We did 2 trials to make sure my look was perfect before my big day. And PERFECT is the only way to describe how Natalie made me look on my wedding day! Besides her incredible talent, she was so friendly and handled all the different personalities of my wedding party like a champ. After finishing my makeup, she gave me a full-sized Mac blotting powder and a lipstick that she thought "looked" like me -- and she totally nailed it! I've been using the powder daily and the lipstick has become my new go-to color. I can't say enough positive things about Natalie. She's amazing and I couldn't be happier with her work for my wedding!

    Best Bridal Makeup

    I hired Natalie for my wedding this past September and she was the best! She is the ultimate professional and is super talented. At first I was unsure with the look I wanted for my day and Natalie was amazing to work with. She knew how to achieve exactly what I wanted and my makeup came out flawless in my pictures. Not only is Natalie great at doing makeup she has the best energy and knows exactly what she’s doing. When choosing Natalie to do your makeup for your wedding you are in the best hands possible!

    The best and most beautiful wedding makeup

    Natalie is hands down THE BEST! Hiring Natalie to do my wedding makeup was by far the best decision! About 1 year before my wedding I had done a trial different makeup artist and was unimpressed with the results. After that experience I was super diligent in looking for a makeup artist (stalking all their reviews, instagram photos etc ) and was so impressed when I came across Natalie! In person- she did not disappoint, during my trial she asked all the right questions and my trial makeup was stunning. On the day of there was nothing to be nervous about because I knew Natalie would deliver! I was so impressed with my wedding day makeup and cannot recommend Natalie enough!

    Simply the BEST

    Natalie is top notch, nothing but the absolute best, she is an angel. She is compassionate, gracious and really the kindest person you want to have with you getting ready. After much of my own research I hired Natalie to do my makeup for my wedding along with my bridal party, including my Mom, MIL and My grandmother. -- she was my first choice and I am so glad she had my date open.
    As well as doing your makeup she keeps you focused on keeping calm. I had the most fantastic wedding because of her, she set the tone in a positive way which left me feeling incredible. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment of first contact and she is truly uplifting.

    I would have Natalie do my makeup everyday if I could!

    Would give one million stars if I could!

    Natalie was the best decision I made for my wedding day. She is incredibly talented and somehow finds a way to make you look beautifully glam yet still totally yourself. The level of beautiful I felt on my wedding day was unlike anything I’ve ever felt before! Aside from that, Natalie is also just an incredible human. She is so even-keeled and gentle, and she makes you feel so ease, even when the wedding day jitters start acting up. I couldn’t recommend Natalie more highly!!!

    Best Makeup Ever!

    Natalie is so talented. I am very grateful that she was a part of our wedding day. You will not find a better make-up artist out there. From the trial to the wedding day, I felt completely comfortable and knew that with her skills I could sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. She’s also so sweet and has the most peaceful energy. I could chat with her for hours. My makeup was stunning and stayed immaculate all night long, even after hours of dancing. The bridal party and my Mom’s makeup was also beautiful. The pictures turned out awesome because her of incredible work. I cannot wait to come up with an excuse to hire her again!!

    The best wedding makeup!

    I hired Natalie for my wedding day and am so happy I did. I was thrilled with my makeup and it turned out even better than how I envisioned it. Natalie is extremely talented and really listed to what I wanted. She also was a calming presence throughout the day and made my friends, family, and myself feel at ease during the entire get-ready process. I cannot recommend Natalie enough and wish I could give more than 5 stars!!

    Best decision working with Natalie

    Natalie was one of the best decisions I made with wedding planning. She came highly recommended by a friend of a friend who described her as extremely talented, professional, and someone you want to be around on your wedding day-- which is all so true and she somehow still blew me away. She delivered exactly what I was looking for during the trial and of course after I changed my mind on the look right before the wedding:), she was able to execute my vision perfectly for the wedding day without having to do a second trial. The day of the wedding she arrived early with a huge smile and hug and had the best energy throughout the entire day. The makeup came out so perfect, I felt like myself but elevated and not at all overdone, and it held up flawlessly- I only had to touch up my lip gloss a couple of times. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!

    Wedding makeup with Natalie

    Working with Natalie was a dream! She has such a calming presence and is so gifted at what she does. She absolutely delivered on the look I was going for. Of course I changed the color scheme after my trial but she was able to pull everything together flawlessly. I’ve struggled with other makeup artists caking on the makeup, I was so relieved to find someone that made your skin look like skin but better! Do not hesitate to book her for your wedding!!

    Highly recommend Natalie!

    Natalie is amazing at what she does and was such a joy to work with. Having had some less than ideal experiences in the past, I spent a lot of time looking for the right artist for my wedding day and knew right away that Natalie’s natural-but-still-glam style, and her ability to customize makeup to the person (rather that applying the same look to everyone) was what I was looking for.

    I loved my makeup and that of my bridesmaids and mom/MIL on the wedding day - everyone looked amazing and still like themselves. Plus, we all had a great time getting ready together. Natalie was relaxed, positive, and a lot of fun to have with us for the few hours before the wedding.

    Natalie took my few tweaks from the trial to really make sure I was happy. I felt beautiful and the look lasted all through the night. I can’t recommend her enough - thank you!

    Exceptional!

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie for my wedding day and experiencing her incredible work! My makeup was absolutely perfect and even better than I could have imagined. She made me feel so beautiful and confident from the day of the trial through my wedding day. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, offering advice and answers to my many questions along the way. She is truly so talented and her kindness and care was felt by every one of of my bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and flower girl. She not only created stunning makeup looks that complimented each person, but they were flawlessly applied and stayed through a humid, then rainy, July day and through the end of the night. I can not recommend Natalie enough and feel so lucky that I had the opportunity to work with her for my wedding!

    Natalie is amazing - you must hire her!!!

    Natalie was a dream to work with! She is SO sweet and incredibly talented at what she does. I consider myself to be very picky when it comes to makeup (and hair). I trusted Natalie 1000% and was blown away by her. My makeup felt so natural, not cakey, and most importantly, I felt like me (but much prettier)! I could not recommend Natalie more!!!

    No one better!

    I could not be happier that I chose Natalie to do the makeup for myself and my bridal party for my wedding day! Not only was the makeup beautiful and exactly what I had asked for, but she just made it so enjoyable to work with her. From the trial to the wedding day, she was responsive, understanding, and easy to work with. Our wedding got moved a year, and she was the only vendor I had booked that made it seamless and did not charge me to do so, which really meant a lot! I had my makeup on from 10am to 2am, and it looked the same, worth every penny!

    Sweetest and most talented makeup artist out there!

    I was lucky enough to have two best friends who used Natalie for their weddings and I knew I loved her work! She is so attentive to what you want and so sweet. I love how she does the most perfect natural look. I could not recommend her enough and I’m so thankful she was available for my wedding🥰

    The best makeup artist!

    Working with Natalie was an absolute pleasure! She is so good at what she does, and her calm and positive energy was so appreciated throughout the day. I felt confident while we were getting ready that she had a plan and had the timing under control. She made sure she knew exactly what I wanted during my trial, and she did an amazing job on the day of. My makeup stayed on all night, and my wedding party loved her. I can't recommend Natalie enough!

    The absolute best!

    You need Natalie for your wedding day. I cannot even put into words how amazing working with her was. She is a true artist. I have never liked getting my makeup done until Natalie. She makes you look so flawless but still natural and not overdone. My bridesmaids and I were absolutely in love with our makeup and received so many compliments. Natalie is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is so warm and so positive. I felt immediately calmed the minute I sat in her chair. She is a great listener and truly customizes your makeup to suit you. To top it all off she is organized and so responsive. Truly a dream to work with. My bridesmaids and I still talk about how amazing she was. Thank you so much Natalie!

    Natalie is a GEM and an amazing make up artist

    Natalie is the sweetest person and I was so drawn to her make up skills through her IG posts. On our wedding day, everyone’s makeup was absolutely stunning and we received many compliments. My husband had a massive stress pimple and Natalie stayed longer at our venue to help him cover it up! I loved getting to know her during the trial and on the wedding day and she knew exactly what to say to make me feel like a beautiful bride.

    Best decision I made for my wedding!

    Booking Natalie for my bridal makeup was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding day. I don't wear a ton of makeup and was seeking guidance for how to keep my bridal look natural and Natalie completely nailed it. I felt SO gorgeous (and very me!) on my big day! The best part about Natalie is how comfortable she makes you feel sitting in her chair - she is so lovely (and stunning!) and her energy was exactly what I needed the morning before my wedding to help calm my nerves. I truly felt like I had another friend/hype girl in the room with me! If you're a bride looking for bridal or event makeup services, run don't walk and book Natalie for your special day!

    Must Book Natalie for your Wedding!

    I feel so lucky to have snagged Natalie for my wedding make-up. Not only did she make me feel incredibly beautiful, but she also made my 4 bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law look and feel their best. I found her on Instagram and loved her make-up aesthetic - it was exactly what I was looking for. My mom and I were already thrilled with the make-up she did for our trials and then she even kicked it up a notch on the day of the wedding. Truly a treat to have Natalie for your big day. Highly recommend her!

    Wedding 9/17/2022

    I met Natalie in 2019 at my sister's wedding where she glammed all my family members and me. I knew then that for my wedding day I would have to have her too. On the wedding day, Natalie was an absolute dream to work with; professional, timely, and most of all made everyone feel their best. She kept me calm through the chaos and stayed for touch-ups which made everyone feel amazing for the entire night. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how much they loved their glam and how much of a pleasure Natalie was to be around. HIGHLY recommend Natalie Shafie she truly is the best in every way!!

    Natalie is the best!

    Natalie was INCREDIBLE! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough. She did my makeup as well as my MOHs/bridesmaids, mother, mother in-law and grandma and everyone was beautiful. My makeup looked very natural (the look I was going for) and Natalie did an absolutely flawless job on everyone. She had such great energy as we were getting ready and my makeup stayed perfect the entire night. Any bride in the area should book Natalie immediately, there will be absolutely no regrets and everyone will look beautiful!!

    You need Natalie!

    I cannot even begin to say enough good things about Natalie! Myself, my family and my friends absolutely love her! She is so unbelievably caring, detailed and professional. Her presence is so positive and calming and I knew she would do my wedding makeup from the moment I met her at our trial. Our wedding was impacted by the pandemic and throughout the entire rescheduling process she was so easy to work with and was so supportive of our date needing to change from May 2020 to June 2021. Working with her was a great experience and she is extremely responsive and professional which is exactly what we needed for everything to flow perfectly on the day of my wedding. Myself and all of my bridesmaids and family felt so beautiful. Everyone said it was the best makeup they had ever had done for a wedding which made me so happy. She executed my bridal vision perfectly and made me feel like myself but elevated. Everyone needs Natalie for their wedding, she is the absolute best.

    Natalie did my makeup for my wedding

    Natalie does such beautiful work. I never even did a trial - I just shared a few pics and she did her thing and I LOVED my wedding makeup. Natalie is such a calming presence, very easy to get along with and just overall such a nice chill person. Someone you want with you in your special day!! Highly recommend.
