Amazing Artist!

I have had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Stephanie on multiple occasions. Each time she has exceeded my expectations. I requested a no makeup, makeup look for my maternity shoot and my face looked perfect! Stephanie also did my makeup for 2 different weddings and she did not disappoint. I tend to gravitate towards very simple makeup and Stephanie gave me the natural look I wanted, yet gently nudged :-) me out of my comfort zone just enough, to give me a glamorous look that I didn’t even know I needed. My makeup looked perfect in person and even better (if that’s even possible) in pictures!!! I will continue to use Stephanie for all of my special days. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Amazing the Best ever

Stephanie is THAT GIRL!!! DO NOT PLAY YOURSELF, BOOK HER! She was the 1st vendor I had booked once I had a date for my wedding as I knew I wanted her to do my makeup for the longest! I had been watching her for a while on instagram, and I just knew I needed her to bless me for the most important day of my life! Stephanie is a true artist, professional, funny, an expert and listens to her clients! I wanted to look like an enhanced version of myself and the enhancement was evvveerrrything I ever needed! I was so in love with myself! The confidence boost that I got, made hiring Stephanie all worth it!
My makeup was completely flawless, not cakey at all, and the best part is, it lasted aallllll night, even through my tears of joy, dancing and sweating! I am forever grateful to have looked good from the initial application, till the end of the night! I've never felt more stunning than I did on my wedding day and I owe it all to my girl Steph! The makeup was classy, my bridesmaids looked sooooo beautiful and I am still loving my wedding photos years later. She’s the real deal! I’m giving Stephanie 1,000,000 stars! Oh, and my family and I still hire her for all my events after that day. You will NOT be disappointed!

Best MUA Ever! Professional and Talented

Look no further, the best MUA is here!!! Every experience I’ve had with Steph were phenomenal. She is more than accommodating with her busy schedule and goes above/ beyond expectations. Her work is incredibly beautiful. I’ve booked her for all my special occasions i.e., birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, and I always leave feeling VERY confident!

On my wedding day, I did not have to provide any instruction and I was not disappointed. I felt and looked AMAZING!! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and is very talented. She has an amazing spirit and positive vibe/energy she brings with her.

Amazing professional

A friend of mine was getting married and needed a make up artist. I referred her to Stephanie because I heard about her work through another another friend of mine. My friend who was getting married praised me for into ducking her to Stephanie when it was all said and done. She was more than happy with the results and had an amazing wedding day.
