Emma Strachman did my makeup for my wedding last month and totally nailed the look I was going for and made me feel so glamorous in the process.

After first booking Emma for a trial, she sent me a thorough inspiration board with celebrities I look (enough) alike to really hone in on my wishes, since I don't normally wear tons of make up. The trial was at my apartment a few months before the wedding and Emma, the complete professional, went through multiple looks with me to make sure I was thrilled. We aligned on the plan forward for the wedding.

On wedding day Emma did my make up as well as makeup for two bridesmaids, my mom, MIL, and aunt. Not only did she and her assistant make everyone look like a glammed-up version of themselves, she took the time and care needed for those with more mature skin, skin concerns, and those with questions about the process.

In my opinion, booking Emma and her assistant made the day move smooth, as you can tell they are used to fast-paced editorial and commercial scenes, so I could really relax into my big day.

She is a complete professional and worth the premium if you want to have a relaxed getting ready time with your friends. I will 100% be recommending Emma to friends and would book her again in a heartbeat!

I hired Emma to do my hair and makeup for a major work event. At the time, I was working for a global skincare brand and we sponsored the NYE ball drop in Times Square. It was a very high-vis event with lots of press, celebrities and consumers and so I need to bring my A-game in terms of the evening’s look.

Emma made me look beautiful but most importantly feel beautiful because the way she cared and prepped my skin and the high-end products she used to give me the perfect dewy, glowing look. Her incredible warmth and ability to connect with humans is what makes her stand out as an artist and in my mind, sets her apart from the many professional artists I’ve worked with in life and at work.

Somehow she made me look exactly how I wanted to – without me being able to articulate exactly what I was hoping for. She accentuated my natural features in a way that felt so glam and chic but not over the top. I got compliments all night long.

I would hire Emma again in an instance because I know she’s always going to provide the best vision, best products and skincare prep, and most importantly the best time together. Her humor and connectivity makes you feel SO good and empowered and ready to tackle whatever event or appearance you may have.

I had the pleasure of working with Emma for my sister's wedding. She is a total pro and has such versatility, she really listened to each of the bridesmaids and moms to ensure everyone got the exact look they were going for. She has a calm nature that put everyone at ease and made the day run so smoothly. Highly recommend booking Emma for your event or wedding!

Emma is a dream to work with. She has unrivaled A-list makeup experience, so I hired her for my wedding makeup. First we did a trial to make sure our visions aligned and she understood my look inspiration. She has an impressive collection of the best products and brands to pull from. On the day-of, she arrived early, prepared, and had a very calming presence. She made sure certain items like lip gloss/color were on hand throughout the day in case I needed touch-ups. I was so happy with the look, both in-person and how it translated to photos.

TLDR: Her energy and skills are unmatched; book Emma for your event ASAP!
