Debbie was fabulous! She did the makeup for me, my mom, and 6 bridesmaid. She is relaxed, easy-going, incredibly talented and gave me the natural look I wanted to have on my wedding day. Thank you, Debbie!

Debbie did a phenomenal job doing my makeup as well as my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding. Most of her reviews say that she does very nice "natural" makeup, which was really my only concern because I love makeup! I didn't want to look natural on my wedding day - that's how I want to look when I go to work every day :) I wanted to look like I was glamorous and more beautiful than I ever have, and Debbie delivered! I went to her house for a trial run, and not only did she do my makeup until it was exactly right, but her personality is so much fun, that I knew she would be a good person to have around on the morning of my wedding while I was feeling a bit nervous.

I had various types of bridesmaids - ranging from never wearing makeup to putting on a full face and half a tube of mascara to run errands, and Debbie made all of them look beautiful in their own way. Because Debbie does a lot of work in print ads, she really knows how to do makeup for a camera.

I highly recommend her! She does wonderful work, and is fun to be around, too!

My wedding was the second time I worked with Debbie and she was as great with my wedding as she was with my sister's. The makeup trial was very helpful, and gave me a chance to get to understand the different looks Debbie could achieve and really see how experienced she is. She helped me find the right one so everything would be easy the day of the wedding. Debbie also helped me to coordinate the getting ready schedule. I wanted to be sure she had enough time to do what she needed so everyone would have the look they wanted. The day of everything was so relaxed, as Debbie brings everything she needs and her easy going attitude helps too!

Debbie is a personal delight, and, she is very talented. The wedding party "look" was natural, with everyone looking like themselves with a "tune up". Debbie's results were lovely regardless of skin tone or quality/age.

I looked for months to find the right make-up artist who would not overdo the make-up and was also reasonably priced. I felt so lucky to have found Debbie back in June to do the make-up for me and my bridesmaids. Debbie is extremely professional and friendly. She is very easy to work with. She understood exactly the look I wanted for the wedding party--very natural yet a look that highlighted all the great features of everyone's faces. Debbie is incredible at making people look beautiful with makeup without it looking like they have any makeup on. Her work is amazing. For the high quality of her work, her prices were reasonable. I cannot recommend her enough.

There's a huge sense of relief when I walk into a room and see Debbie working with the bride. She's an artist, in the true meaning of the word, in how she transforms women on their most special day. She makes my job that much easier.
