Amazing and Talented Team!

Gwen and her team did a phenomenal job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. As someone who doesn't typically wear much makeup, Gwen worked with me to create a more natural look that I felt comfortable with, and that looked absolutely stunning! Christine took my hair ideas and created the perfect look for my hair type. I felt beautiful all evening.
The Blush518 team took the stress out of this aspect of wedding planning- from the preview to the morning of, they all did a great job, were professional from the start, and made it fun and enjoyable for the entire bridal party. I would recommend Blush518 to any bride looking for a thoughtful and talented team!

I never felt more beautiful in my entire life!

Gwen and her team are amazing!! I've known Gwen personally for over 10 years, and she was one of the first vendors I knew I HAD to have for my wedding day; we were even flexible with picking a wedding date so the Blush518 Team would be available! My trial was great, we talked about different looks and changes that day and the next after a wear test. Come wedding day, the vibes were amazing, the team was so efficient with my 7 Bridesmaids, MOB, MOG & Bride! As the title says, I truly never felt more beautiful on my wedding day and my hair and makeup didn't need a single touch-up all night besides reapplying lipstick. You're doing yourself a disservice by not booking the Blush518 team!!!!

Hair and Make Up for wedding

I highly recommend Gwen and her team to make your hair and make up dreams come true! What a glorious time my bridesmaids and I had on the day of our wedding (and also the practice hair and make up before my wedding was absolutely stunning). Gwen was very professional, asked and answered questions regarding the best look for my special day. Gwen stuck to the timeline on the day of our wedding. Gwen’s experience in the industry is invaluable, and she made my day memorable and very special! Book Blush518 asap!

The absolute best!

I simply cannot recommend Gwen and her team enough! I hired Blush518 for hair and makeup for my large (10 person) bridal party and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Gwen put together an amazing schedule beforehand to make sure everyone was finished on time which was great. They even take the time to prep everyone's hair first which is really a step above! Every single girl's hair and makeup looked so flawless, everyone was so happy with how they looked and can't stop raving about the whole team, myself included. Gwen was a pleasure to work with and so professional. I would book with Blush518 again in a heartbeat!

Gwen and Blush518 - starstruck service!

Gwen and the Blush518 ladies are the absolute best! Gwen traveled all the way to Cooperstown and spent our entire wedding weekend with us, making me feel like royalty and being by my side as both a professional and friend. Gwen did my hair and makeup for our Rehearsal Dinner and when I looked in the mirror, I was blown away. She raised every level of every detail, I never knew I could look like that! As a bride in her 40s, she gave me the dream of looking my absolute best on my wedding day and put so much kindness and care in getting me ready and into every touch-up. Even with a gown and hair change, she made the whole process seamless and magical. She LOVES what she does and she’s the absolute BEST at it, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by my side. Christine and Lisa did my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, some of my girls never really dolling up before, and they all looked like supermodels! I could not have been happier and these amazing ladies made our whole bridal party shine. Our guests were also able to take advantage of some of Blush518’s services on site and raved about their up-do’s and eyelashes, and looked absolutely beautiful. It was so much fun for them to join in the day! The showstopper of the whole wedding, however, was my mom, a beautiful woman in her early 80’s, who’s stunning features were elevated and blown up by Lisa. She was the absolute star of the wedding and never looked (younger!) and more gorgeous. It made my heart soar! Thank you Gwen and Blush518 ladies - you went above and beyond in every way and were one of the very best parts of our wedding, and we can never thank you enough ❤️

Hair and makeup for wedding

We booked Gwen and her team for our wedding for both hair and makeup. They did a fabulous job. They were prompt, brought all of their makeup/hair supplies, set up and cleaned up everything. They made what could have easily been a chaotic morning very relaxing. We had five bridesmaids doing makeup and six bridesmaids doing hair. Gwen made a schedule so all of us could be done by the time we needed to go to our ceremony. Very organized.

I had my makeup done for a different wedding and was hesitate to get it professionally done again. I felt like they applied too much face makeup to hide my acne and scars. I felt like they just kept applying layer after layer. The makeup felt heavy. Gwen took a different approach. During our makeup and hair trial I discussed by concerns with her about hiding my acne and scars. She listened and did an excellent job. I felt like my skin was still able to breathe and I still felt like I looked like myself while hiding my acne and scars. After my makeup trial she even gave me a sample to help with the weeks leading up to my wedding.

I would highly recommend Gwen and her team for hair and makeup. We’re glad we did. Everyone was extremely happy with their hair and makeup.

Simply Amazing!

My husband and I got married 6/26/21 and Gwen and her team made me feel absolutely fabulous on my special day! I am so so grateful to have had Blush518 help my 7 bridesmaids, my mom, my future mother in law and I get ready the morning of the wedding. Gwen made this amazing (color coded) schedule and kept everything running smoothly. Even after a full 12 hour day, with 100% humidity… We all still looked great at the end of the night. I highly recommend Gwen and her team!!!
