Truly An Artist When It Comes To Make-Up

Elizabeth was SUCH a joy to work with and did incredible work. All my bridesmaids raved about her (one even basically raided her make-up bag and took notes of all the products she uses). She elevates each person without overdoing it so that you look completely natural. Truly an artist when it comes to make-up. And also a lovely and calming presence. Cannot recommend her more highly.

Elizabeth was a joy to work with and helped make me feel my absolute best on my big day. She handled doing make up for myself, several bridesmaids, and my mother calmly and efficiently. Leading up to the day, Elizabeth was easy to communicate with and having a trial run a few weeks before also assured that I looked exactly the way I wanted for my wedding day. I'm so thrilled Elizabeth was a part of my day and I would certainly work with her again given the opportunity!

Beautiful, natural makeup

Elizabeth was great to work with! She did my makeup, 4 bridesmaids, and mother of the groom at our venue and was very timely throughout the day. I do not typically wear a lot of makeup and I'm incredibly happy with the natural look that Elizabeth created. Having a trial with her made my wedding day stress free since I knew I'd love how she did my makeup.

Beautiful natural looks! Great to work with!

Elizabeth is just the sweetest person. I hired Elizabeth for wedding makeup for myself, 3 bridesmaids, and 2 others. I did not have a trial with her since I was planning from a distance but I was never worried about my makeup. She is great at enhancing your natural beauty and my bridesmaid's and I really liked that we looked and felt like ourselves. She nailed the look I wanted and was so much fun to be with the morning of my wedding!

Fabulous makeup

So happy with my makeup from Liz!! It is so rare to find someone this talented who really cares about making everyone feel beautiful. Liz really listened to me about wanting my makeup to look natural and not overdone yet still glam the day of my wedding. Truly I have never felt more beautiful!! Liz was amazing and communicative for the trial and day of and each of my bridesmaids and moms loved their experience with her too. I would hire Liz again in a second and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Beautiful work!

I came to Liz after having to postpone our wedding and losing my previously hired makeup artist when we had to change our date. Liz did a beautiful job on my makeup, as well as my mom’s and my mother-in-law’s. It was great coverage and popped on camera, but still felt light, natural, and romantic. It also stayed all day in spite of the heat and humidity. Liz was the ultimate professional, working quickly and efficiently but also responsive to each of our needs and direction while we were in her chair. Liz even recommended a product for exfoliation during my trial that I’m continuing to use now!

Elizabeth is the best selection for your wedding day makeup. Selecting the person to do my makeup felt overwhelming because I am not a person that wears makeup often. From the first e-mail I received from Elizabeth she put me at ease with her professionalism. This carried over to the trial run where she communicated what she was doing and even recommended things for daily skin care! On my wedding day she was efficient and thorough. She worked on six additional girls and had them all complete on timeline. Everyone was so beautiful. I felt flawless and beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Elizabeth.

I'm so happy Elizabeth did my makeup for my wedding day. She did such a nice job and made me feel calm and confident. She is great to work with and was very flexible, and even went out of her way to arrive earlier than planned! She has a natural talent to work with your complexion and natural coloring, and to truly help you look your best! I would definitely recommend Elizabeth for any occassion!
