Wonderful!
My wife and I chose Brittney Eileen Beauty based on a recommendation by a mutual friend who will also be having Brittney do her bridal make up in 2026. Our friend met Brittney as they were both guests seated together at another wedding that took place at our wedding venue, a very small world! They got talking and our friend was sure that Brittney was a strong choice! We took her recommendation and of course did our own research as well. Right away we could tell that Brittney’s company is well run and highly organized, which we love. The example photos and information provided on her website and her brochure were basically all we needed to feel comfortable moving forward; however, as we interacted via email, we were continually impressed by Brittney’s thoroughness and how much pride she takes in what she does. She runs a very lgbt+ friendly business and even expressed excitement to work with two brides, which was so reassuring for us. Brittney also included recommendations for hairstylists in her brochure, which we thought was really cool and that is how we found our hair stylist team! (My Big Hair Day - will be posting a review for her as well)! Hair and make up worked so well as a team, many people assumed they were one big company. I would honestly recommend booking them both!
On the day of, hair and make-up arrived at the venue and there was a bit of a confusing period at the beginning while they figured out which suite they wanted to set up in and who would go first, etc. We felt a little stressed that we didn’t have all the answers, but Brittney and her assistant were super flexible and we didn’t feel any pressure from them as we figured things out and got settled into the day. Our bridal party overall was made up of women who mostly don’t know much about make up and Brittney did an awesome job making us all feel comfortable and talking through our options. She made recommendations when it made sense to and everyone ended up looking and feeling the way they hoped to. My wife and I both looked and felt incredible, if I do say so myself. I was blown away that after only providing one “inspo” picture and a little conversation, Brittney was able to make me look exactly how I wanted to look and it gave me such a confidence boost to get through the day.
*ALSO, something very important to note - early in the morning one of my bridesmaids who is a doula, learned that her client was in labor and all of her back up doulas were tied up in other births! This threw us all for a bit of a loop, but as women we really wanted to see if we could let my bridesmaid pop out to at least spend some time with this woman, as she would have otherwise been giving birth alone. The make up team did not even flinch and made it work. My bridesmaid was able to get her hair done, start her make up, drive back to Massachusetts from New Hampshire, get to the hospital, DELIVER the baby, and be back in time to get her make up finished up and be ready for pictures. Pretty crazy overall, but I most importantly want to note Brittney’s patience, understanding, and willingness to make it all work. She stayed behind when the rest of hair and makeup had left. We were already off doing our first look pictures, but Brittney met the bridesmaid in the lobby of the venue, fixed her up, and headed out. She never once made anyone feel rushed or bad, when realistically, she really could have! She didn’t even need to stay, but she said she had the time, so why not make it work. We will forever be grateful to her for that
