Great experience!

Kelly and Julia were so easy to work with and a lot of fun on the day of my wedding. They were professional, responsive and knew exactly what I wanted and made it incredibly easy. Can’t recommend them enough!

Highly recommend!!

Kelly from Face the Occasion was fantastic and I'm so happy with my decision to work with her for my wedding day! She did a trial for my mom and I, and she incorporated all of our feedback and made us feel 100% comfortable about wedding day. She did such a beautiful job creating a natural, elevated look for myself and my girls on my wedding day and the makeup lasted the whole night (and into the next morning because I had too much fun to take it off). She is the sweetest and makes you feel at ease in her chair. I highly recommend!

I was told I shouldnt skimp on my hair and makeup, and so I searched for makeup artists that were rated 5 stars. Face the Occasion (FTO), rated five stars and let me tell you, they deserved this and more!

I was fortunate to have Kelly (one of the founders) as my artist for my day of services. She was absolutely talented, but reasonable with prices. She did makeup for myself, 2 bridesmaids, my junior bridesmaid, my aunt and my mom and it was all just under $400. Everyone loved how they looked.

Being the bride, I had a trial with her. Our wedding was held in the Philly area, but I lived in Central Jersey. We corresponded via email on where the best place for me is to have the trial. She was so flexible that she even asked her mother-in-law for us to have the trial at their house! Thanks Kelly!

On the day of the wedding, Kelly brought her notes on what we did on the trial. I originally wanted a very natural look, but when one of my bridesmaids suggested for the photographer to take a picture of me with makeup on, I decided that I wanted more color. Kelly was totally ok with that, and she was happy enough to cater to the changes I had requested. I am very happy with the results, everyone kept telling me how great I looked, haha!

Kelly lives up to FTO's Five star rating. I absolutely recommend, and if you can, ask for Kelly :)

As a photographer the makeup artist is really important to me! Every time I have worked with Face the Occasion they have done an outstanding job! They do perfect bridal makeup. Just enough makeup but never too much. They are good at keeping it fresh and natural looking. It really helps in the photos to hire someone good!
