My makeup remained flawless throughout the entire night, even with all the dancing! I cannot thank Janae enough!
Make-up Magic!
She truly listened to my vision and made me feel so comfortable, while also offering suggestions to ensure the makeup enhanced my natural beauty. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely stunning. The makeup was flawless and lasted the entire day. I never once needed a touch-up. Her attention to detail is incredible. Janea is so talented at creating radiant, photo-ready skin, while still ensuring I looked like me, just the most polished, glowing version of myself.
To top it off, she brought such a calming presence to the getting-ready process, which really set the tone for an stress-free morning. I received endless compliments on my makeup, and looking back at my photos, I’m still in awe of how perfect everything looked.
If you’re searching for a makeup artist for your wedding (or any special occasion), look no further. Janea is truly an artist, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I made. I cannot recommend her enough!
