Look no further. Book Cheryl!

Where do I even begin? Cheryl is the best of the best in every possible way.

First of all, she is truly beautiful—inside and out. She radiates joy, and the entire room lights up the moment she walks in. From the second you meet her, she makes you feel completely at ease, like you’ve known her forever. She has this incredible ability to not only enhance your natural beauty but also make you feel like the most confident, stunning version of yourself.

One of the most special parts of working with Cheryl was seeing the friendship she formed with my mom. It was such a treat and truly a delight to witness. She doesn’t just show up, do her job, and leave—she creates genuine connections and makes every moment feel meaningful. And if that wasn’t enough, she even gifts a little treat to you and your bridesmaids when she’s finished. One of my bridesmaids forgot hers, and Cheryl went above and beyond, taking time out of her day to mail the gift to her out of state. I mean, it just doesn’t get better than that.

I will cherish my time with Cheryl forever. She is a true artist and the best at what she does. I only wish she could do my makeup every single day—not just for her unmatched talent, but for her glowing, beautiful personality. Love you forever, Cheryl!

Cheryl is amazing!

Cheryl is just a wonderful human being and she's so talented at what she does! She was so much fun to have around on the wedding day and during my makeup trial. She truly makes you feel and look like yourself, but elevated! My makeup lasted all night and I've never felt more beautiful. I had a trial with her months before the wedding and when she saw me on the wedding day with a tan and highlights she adjusted my makeup to match with ease!

The best of the best!!!!

Working in the wedding industry - I am introduced to some talented and lovely people. Cheryl Quinn is probably one of the people I feel luckiest to have come across. She is my top choice for all of my clients for multiple reasons - her skill for makeup being an obvious reason, but her personality and overall demeanor are beyond compare.

That being said - the moment I got engaged I knew I had to lock her in ASAP. I am one of those girls who "doesn't wear much makeup" so booking someone that would make me feel like ME was a no brainer. My friends and family are shocked when I tell them the first vendors that I booked were my hair and makeup team. But when you know you want the best of the best - you snag them. I knew Cheryl would make me feel beautiful, while also bringing the utmost joy to the room while my friends and I were getting ready.

She made me feel my absolute best throughout my entire wedding weekend (two ceremonies, a reception and a welcome party) and continues to make my clients feel beautiful weekend after weekend. Love this lady to pieces!! BOOK HER!!!

Cheryl is the best in the business

I had been following Cheryl's work on instagram for YEARS like a total creep. She's the only makeup artist that I've seen in Charleston where her work didn't look over-done, but still so polished. I was lucky enough to book her for my wedding day and she was an absolute dream to work with! Mothers and bridesmaids all were blown away by how great they looked, but also by how comfortable and light the full face of makeup was. Plus it was all waterproof and she made sure to check multiple light sources to make sure the shade match was PERFECTION!

When choosing your vendors (especially the ones that work closely with the wedding party the day of) personality and skillset go hand-in-hand. The people you choose are an extension of your bridal party and it is important that they mesh well with the entire group. Cheryl obviously is someone who is extremely talented and has years of experience. But, she also has the most wonderful personality, which is something that cannot be taught. She is kind, fun, and calming which is exactly the type of person you want with you in the moments before you walk down the aisle. I will forever be recommending Cheryl and cannot thank her enough for making me look my best on the best day ever! Thank you!!

Obsessed with My Wedding Makeup!

Cheryl was INCREDIBLE! As a bride that was nervous about getting my makeup done, as I wear very little day to day, Cheryl completely nailed my style! It was like a natural enhancement - she is such an artist & also just so fun to be around. Our entire bridal party looked stunning, and she stayed through pictures for final touch ups before the ceremony. Really goes above and beyond to make everyone feel their most beautiful selves - she was our hype girl all day!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for wedding makeup or for any time you need your makeup done. I wish I could fly her out to Chicago for all my big days :) The absolute best!!

Cheryl - the BEST

Cheryl did my makeup for my wedding, and she is AMAZING. Cheryl is such a pro and gave me exactly what I was looking for - a natural look that made my features pop. She uses high quality products and even included a makeup brush set for me to take home. She was available for as long as I needed her for touchups during pictures and after the ceremony - truly a makeup fairy godmother! I can never thank Cheryl enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. (PS - she is also a BLAST to be around!)

Blown 👏🏼 away! 👏🏼

One of the very first things Cheryl said to me was that her main focus was to create a more enhanced and confident version of her clients. In that moment I knew I had made one of the very best decisions, amongst the many, surrounding our big day. I wanted a very natural look and Cheryl completely knocked it out of the park. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and the best part, I felt like me. She really did enhance my features to help me feel the most confident version of myself. Cheryl stuck around for a first look with my dad, stayed with me through the first look with my husband (omg!) AND did touch ups before and after the ceremony - where I may or may not have cried a little, okay a lot :) I felt like a princess and celebrity all in one! She is not only incredibly talented but is such a pleasure and a joy to be around. You will leave your day thinking of any and every event you could have your makeup done again to experience Cheryl and her talent. I will forever and ever recommend! Thank you for everything Cheryl :)

Perfection!

Cheryl is magic. She is incredibly talented and you will enjoy every moment spent with her! Cheryl made me look and feel like my most beautiful self and went above and beyond to make sure I had any touch ups needed after photos prior to the wedding. She takes such pride in what she does and is a genuinely kind soul who makes a point to make everyone feel comfortable.

Like one of my bridesmaids

I am forever indebted to my wedding planner, Christina Baxter, for introducing me to the lovely Cheryl Quinn! She is the kindest soul with the talent of a true New York City high fashion alum. Cheryl spent over an hour and a half with my during the trial run making sure that every single detail of my makeup was exactly what I wanted. My biggest concern when searching for a makeup artist, was that I was going to be contoured and caked in makeup so much so that I wouldn't even recognize myself--past experiences had slightly scarred me. Cheryl quickly eased my nerves by explaining how her philosophy with makeup was to enhance the already beautiful details of your face in a natural looking way. I was so ecstatic with how fresh my faced looked and felt on my wedding day. Cheryl is a true professional that also feels like one of your bridesmaids on your day. She was such a trooper starting at 7am and saying through our ceremony and pictures afterwards. She even came to the rescue when my veil was not staying in minutes before the ceremony! I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl!! You will love every minute spent with her. I know I did!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Talented, sophisticated, experienced, and delightful are just a few words that describe Cheryl Quinn, owner and lead makeup artist for Classic Beauty SC. As a wedding planner, the success of the event relies heavily on the talent of the team. When Cheryl relocated to Charleston from NYC, bringing with her, years of experience with high end clients, and a sense of style and fashion, I was delighted to add her to my short list of top notch vendors.
