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.

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.

Really Sweet, Beautiful Work!

Liz is incredibly kind and a great presence to have in your bridal suite on your wedding day! On top of that, her work is amazing! Super fresh, clean and classic makeup looks. I didn't even come with specific images but she did an incredible job of interpreting what I wanted an creating a beautiful look! Others in my group wanted more specific/different makeup looks and she did a really nice job creating those as well! I would highly recommend working with Liz!

Highly recommend!!

Liz is incredibly talented and she nailed our “no makeup makeup” looks perfectly! Every one of my bridesmaids and my mom were so happy with the results. She was so sweet, professional, and had such a calming force about her, which is always welcome on the wedding day. I had a couple of requests after my makeup trial and she was very open to feedback and easily incorporated the changes into my look on the big day. I felt so comfortable with my makeup the whole day (and I usually hardly wear any at all!) I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

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!

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!

Elizabeth did a wonderful job on my makeup for my rehearsal dinner! I told her the look I wanted and she got it perfectly. I am so happy that she made me look so beautiful and she is also a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to all brides!

Natural & relaxing

I chose Elizabeth to do my makeup as a bridesmaid because she focuses on a natural approach. I didn't want anything too harsh or exaggerated. She also did my friend's makeup as well. She was able to make us look like our skin was naturally flawless and matched our eye shadow, blush, and lips to our differing undertones. Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with; she has a very calming demeanor and puts you at ease - this is especially needed on these types of days. She was also very open to what we wanted and didn't want (and helped guide us when we had no idea!).

She also was super professional and accommodating considering I had to change the timing of meeting her on four separate occasions.

If you need your makeup done for any event, I would definitely recommend Elizabeth!

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.

I loved Elizabeth. She was very professional and asked my bridal party and me ahead of putting on makeup what we typically like and use. She accommodated for all of our requests. Everyone looked so beautiful and so flawless. I was really happy that I looked very natural and did not feel heavy on my face. I was extremely happy.
