Best Makeup Artist, Ever!

Hiring Dawn as your wedding day makeup artist is a NO BRAINER! She is super skilled and someone you can trust to make you and your wedding party look beautiful. She works with all skin tones and uses high end makeup and brushes which MATTERS!

Dawn did the makeup for one of my girlfriend's weddings and when I saw how fabulous everyone looked, I was very interested. I am a HUGE review person so I made sure to read all of the reviews for my vendors via theKnot, WeddingWire and Yelp. Needless to say, hands down, Dawn is definitely valued for all 5 stars. She responded right away to my emails, sent my contract in the mail the next day, and was easily accessible to reach to set up my trial. I did my makeup trial before my bridal shower and wasn't as excited about it as I had hoped to be, so she offered to give me a complimentary second trial which I thought was amazing customer service. I also asked her if I should have airbrush makeup and she told me that I didn't need it. You would think that someone would love to upcharge a client, but she was looking for my best interest. My second trial was perfect and my makeup the day of the wedding far exceeded my expectations. All of my bridesmaids were absolutely gorgeous, and my aunt and mom who never wear makeup also looked absolutely amazing without being overdone if that makes sense! I highly recommend Dawn's services and hope that future brides find this review very helpful!

Dawn is amazing. My photographer gave me her card and that was, by far, the best recommendation ever. I went for my trial closer to the wedding and I wanted her to just do what she does best.... no picture reference... just put make up on me that she thought best complimented my face. She delivered like crazy. My skin never looked more flawless and so natural. She ended up applying individual eyelashes on me. I was surprised at how natural they looked and they weren't uncomfortable at all.

I definitely wasn't as picky with my make up as my mom. Dawn was extremely patient and responsive to my mother's *ahem* suggestions.... much to my and my mother's delight. She got everything absolutely right on the big day. Even my mom was impressed and super happy with the job she did.... definitely a big deal. I let my bridesmaids know that anyone who wanted to use Dawn's services on the wedding day was more than welcome to, they just had to let me know in advance. On the day, Dawn ended up doing mine, my mothers, my grandmother's and 3 of my bridesmaids. After a few bridesmaids were all made up, one who decided not to before saw how beautiful and flawless everyone looked, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to get hers professionally done. In her words "There's no way I can get my make up looking that perfect next to you guys :)". Dawn was more than accommodating and anyone that wanted to jump in the chair could. Even with the extra person we were ready with more than enough time to spare. I love my bridesmaids, but I have never seen them look more beautiful than they did after Dawn was finished with them. One of my other bridesmaids (who married the year before) asked me "Where was Dawn when I got married?!?".

I received countless compliments throughout the night of how my make up was so beautiful and flawless. My make up lasted me through the whole day (applied at noon on the day of the wedding) all the way till I got on the plane to my honeymoon at 8am the next day. Dawn is very professional, punctual, and has a great personality (not to mention a great sense of fashion =P). I will most definitely recommend Dawn to everyone and continue to use her in the future :).

We had the pleasure of working with Edit Faces this year. The bride and girls looked beautiful- photo-ready without being overdone, and we found them to be very professional with everyone they came into contact with.
