Amazing!!!

Brittany is seriously the best. I originally met her a friend's wedding when she got us all glam, hit it off with her so well (not mentioning her straight fire makeup skills!) and hired for my own wedding! She made my day so incredibly fun and even more beautiful - huge thanks and can't wait to work with her again!

Equal Parts Skills and Joy

Brittany is as joyful as she is talented. She nailed looks for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding and we had so much fun throughout the trial process and the actual process. Fresh, chic and not overly done, I'm thrilled with how my makeup turned out. Also, my bridal party loved her as well! I cannot recommend her services enough!

Magnificent Make-up by Brittany

Brittany did an amazing job for my wedding!! You know those people that complain about not liking their wedding photos?!! It’s because they didn’t have Brittany do their makeup! She did make up on myself and bridesmaids, who have not stopped talking about how great she was ever since. I got married at Liberty Warehouse, Brittany was there on time and even stayed longer than expected to make sure everything was still perfect as photos were being taken. I hired her again to do my makeup for a family photo shoot with my newborn. Hire her, you will not be disappointed!

Brittany is super talented, she does amazing natural looking makeup, she is very responsive and always on time. She helps talk you through what you want and what will good but also natural for the long day. The makeup is not heavy and your skin looks amazing. She can do woman of all ages and colors.

Love Her! Perfection!

You should hire Brittany! She is friendly, professional and most importantly an expert makeup artist.
My family booked her last summer for my brothers wedding and we fell in love with her instantly so we used her again for my wedding this past July. My family and I are obsessed with her- she became a part of the family!
As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, it was important for me that I feel natural and comfortable for both weddings. Brittany not only gave me that natural look but she also made me look like the best version of myself. She also did makeup for my family as well. We were so thrilled with the results!
Brittany listens and caters to each persons personality and skin tones. For example, my whole family has freckles and she made it a point to not hide them with makeup, which we all greatly appreciated! Her fun and positive energy is infectious. I highly recommend her artistry!! Thank you Brittany!

She will make you feel flawless!

From the trial to the wedding day Brittany worked with me and my style to make sure I felt and looked flawless. I love the classic beauty look, and on my wedding day I felt just like that. The makeup felt weightless and stayed on perfectly from 10am to 1am. Even the lashes felt weightless (and I hate putting on lashes). She is proffesional and punctual. She was able to manage doing the makeup for me (the bride), my mother, mother-in-law, and all 4 bridesmaids without a formal timeline. All the girls had a great time getting ready because Brittany is just naturally fun to be around. I highly reccomend her and would hire her not only for weddings but for any event you would want to look amazing! 😍

Bulletproof Makeup!

Brittany is hands down the most professional and adaptable makeup artist I have had the pleasure of working with. I'm an event planner by profession and vet my vendors based on timeliness, organization, quality of work and their ability to accommodate clients' needs. As I was planning my wedding, I reached out to Brittany and received a response almost immediately! She was able to create a timeline that worked with my run-of-show and allowed ample time for her to set-up and breakdown her work space. My bridal party consisted of myself and six other women; all with very different skin types and complexions. Without having met most of my bridal party prior to the wedding, she was able to assess their skin and determine which products would be best suited for each person. I described my vision to her and showed her a few pics for reference; she pitched her ideas and whipped up magic! As she worked on each girl, she described the products she was using and their benefits. A tons of happy tears and nearly 15 hours later, and my girls and I still looked fresh out the makeup chair! Her makeup was absolutely bulletproof! Aside from her makeup application, Brittany is extremely charismatic and a pleasure to be around. I have already recommended her to other brides!

Love her! Best experience

Brittany is AMAZING! I would highly recommend her! She is professional, patient, talented and fun to work with. She kept me smiling and laughing every time I used her ( trial, bridal shower and wedding). I really wanted a natural but elevated look for the wedding and she totally got that and ran with it! I am not usually one to fully put my trust in a makeup artist, but with her I 100% did and that's how I knew I needed to work with her! I will use her again and again for any occasion I have.
