Ellen is fantastic!

Ellen made my mom and I feel so special on my wedding day! She listened to what I wanted and made my face beautiful. She always had a smile on her face and was truly professional. Thank you Ellen for making a bride and her momma feel like a million bucks. I highly recommend!

Ellen and her team will make you feel and look amazing!

Hiring Ellen and her team was hands-down one of the best decisions I made planning this wedding. For some reason I had a hard time finding a makeup and hair team -- so many were flaky, not responding to my emails and calls, or really controlling -- telling me they didn't want to talk to my mom, who had questions because of a prior bad experience. After some searching, I found Ellen -- immediately when speaking with her I knew she'd be different. Professional, calm, and accommodating. She talked to me for a long time and answered every question I had. Unlike other companies, her team was always responsive to my questions. She welcomed my mom and me into her home for a trial, which made us feel so comfortable.

All of that is great -- but she is an amazing makeup artist, and her hair team was unbelievable too. I felt like a superstar and frankly, looked flawless in every one of my photos :-) I had a very diverse set of women in age, skin tone, hair type, and style, and they were able to handle everything. They made my girls look unbelievably glamorous while also retaining their natural beauty -- no garishness here, all modern looks, and no one felt unnatural (especially because many of my girls aren't heavy makeup types). Most importantly, the moms were thrilled!!!

As importantly, her team was professional and calm, and I trusted Ellen with anything beauty-related. They showed up five minutes early to the bridal suite and immediately got to work. I knew I could relax because Ellen kept everyone on schedule -- the last thing you want on the morning of your wedding is a hectic vibe.

Bottom line, I loved working with Face the Day and would recommend them to anyone!

Ellen and Najeebah are talented and professional women. They both made me look naturally gorgeous on my wedding day as well as the other women in the bridal party. I didn't want my make-up to look overwhelming, but still be dramatic enough for the camera. Ellen did a fantastic job at hitting that sweet spot. And my hair survived the day flawlessly! I got so many compliments!
When you work with vendors on your wedding day, you want the process to go smoothly and have fun. These ladies were so upbeat and joyful which was a very relaxing way to start your morning on the day you are getting married. I would highly recommend working with Face The Day!

I got married this past weekend and had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Face the Day hair and makeup team! Everything about the experience was perfect, from the prompt communication prior to the event to the actual day! They arrived at my hotel room exactly at our planned time and promptly set up their supplies and their stations. Myself, 5 bridesmaids, and my mother in law were all completed in our planned timeframe. The women were professional, yet made us all feel comfortable and listened to our visions perfectly. My makeup and hair were flawless and held up all night long through hours on the dance floor and a few happy tears. My bridesmaids all looked absolutely stunning and my mother in law, who was hesitant about getting her makeup done and looking “too made up”, looked incredible and ended up totally loving it! I would highly recommend! They are fun to have around during the getting ready process and make you look and feel truly beautiful! Thank you Ellen!!

Ellen, Eve and their team were simply incredible- we had Ellen, two other makeup artists and Eve with two other hair stylists. They not only were amazing at their job but they went above and beyond. They are caring, helpful and incredibly kind. They helped me and my girls feel beautiful, and most importantly incredibly special and at ease. We had 13 adults (1 bride, 10 brides maids and my mother and mother in law) and 1 flower girl to work with and they did everyone's hair and makeup so beautifully. When my veil (which was gorgous however very heavy) was giving me some issues Eve and Ellen took it upon themselves to help me manage it. I cannot speak highly enough of them. The makeup and hair were truly timeless and we all felt so classy. It truly matched our affair at The Pierre Hotel in New York City

Ellen (owner), Michelle and Marcy of Face the Day are the bomb.com! I do not wear make up, so when I was searching for a makeup artist for my wedding day look I was looking for someone that had great natural makeup looks and Ellen more than fit the bill. She and her team provided makeup services for my 3/4/16 destination wedding in Manhattan,NY. I opted not to do a trial which as pretty nerve racking let me tell you, but once i decided to go with Face the Day I did a little research and found their YouTube page, Instagram and website and was comfortable (mostly) with my decision to forgo the trial. I initially booked Ellen for myself and 5 others and the day before the wedding called to tell her I needed to add an additional 6 people. She let me know that it was a possibility that she may not be able to get another artist to come with her on such short notice but she would definitely do her best. she called me back to let me know she was able to get someone and she would see me bright and early the next day. As she was doing my make up I had a great time chatting with Ellen, she is very down to earth and personable. She did my makeup and my mothers and I couldn't have been happier with the final result and all the ladies that had their make up done looked wonderful. Ellen you are simply the best and I would not hesitate to recommend you to someone. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

I worked with Ellen and her team for my traditional Indian wedding. I searched high and low among Indian hair and makeup vendors who would actually listen to my desires and expectations, but to no avail. Ellen and her team were the completely different. During our trial run, she immediately put me at ease with her positive attitude, patience in discussing the look I wanted, and overall mastery of her art. She maintained a great sense of humor and professionalism at all times. On my wedding day, she and her team arrived on time and replicated the look we discussed. They also did my Mom's makeup, which looked fantastic! I was able to approach my wedding day with the utmost confidence. If I had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate to choose Ellen and her team to do my hair and makeup. I cannot recommend them enough!

I can’t say enough great things about Ellen and her Face the Day team. They are absolutely amazing! My mom has always been picky with makeup her whole life, I have never known her to like anyone’s attempt to do her makeup. She was miserable with her hair and makeup at my sister’s wedding and I didn’t want the same thing to happen at mine. Luckily, Ellen came to the rescue! My mom left her makeup and hair trial raving about Ellen and her team - I was absolutely shocked! I was so lucky to not only find someone to accomodate my mom, but my whole bridal party! My girls looked stunning and each of their looks fit what they wanted and their individual personalities. I was so happy with the results, and so were my girls! Although I didn’t personally get my makeup done by Face the Day, I know that I can speak for all 10 girls when I say they did a stellar job!

I worked with Face the Day for a styled shoot this spring and they did SUCH a fabulous job. The model's hair and makeup was so fresh and modern and was a perfect compliment to the elements we had planned. The meticulous attention to detail throughout the shoot resulted in stunning pictures. I can't recommend these ladies enough !
