I highly recommend Emily at Face Forward! I did my bridal makeup trial with Emily earlier this year and she did an excellent job doing my makeup just like I had shown in my inspo pic. She also gave helpful skincare recommendations to make sure my skin was in great shape on the big day. This past weekend, Emily arrived at our wedding venue on time and was ready to go right at our scheduled time (might’ve even been 5-10 min earlier!). Our makeup all looked fabulous and Emily was very patient as our photographer asked for specific makeup shots. What really stood out about Emily is (1) how comfortable she makes others feel around her, (2) the touch up kit she gave me with oil blotting papers, lip color, and eyelash glue, and (3) she did complementary makeup for our flower girls (lip gloss, blush)! I cannot say enough great things about Emily and I highly recommend her for wedding makeup!

Emily was incredible to work with! I needed help in a pinch last minute and she was flexible and made herself available to help. She was super responsive, and checked-in with me consistently (especially when I had forgotten to get back to her!). She did my makeup for my wedding, and I was absolutely in love with her work! I felt beautiful and confident, and she listened to me throughout the process to understand exactly what I wanted. She was friendly and enthusiastic, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone!

You NEED Emily for your wedding! I cannot say enough good things about Emily and Brianna (and Jenna for spray tans, too!) Emily is professional, communicative, creative, and truly so amazing at what she does. Her and Brianna were so patient with myself and the bridal party, both leading up to the wedding and the day of as well - taking as much time as needed for changes, touch-ups and being so gracious and patient the entire time. I am not someone who typically wears a ton of makeup/had ever had my makeup done professionally before, and Emily made me feel so comfortable and had such great ideas for exactly how to approach everything. I went into our wedding day knowing I could trust her and that is an invaluable feeling! Thank you so, so much Emily!!
