Gemma did my (and my husbands) make up for our wedding. She is simply the best! She's very professional and super sweet. I loved having her be part of my special day and she made me feel so beautiful. She is so talented, you can't pass her up. I'll definitely be using Gemma anytime i need to look my best! Thank you Gemma!!

I could not have been more happy with my decision to use Gemma B Makeup for my wedding! She is beyond talented and her calm, sweet personality was exactly what we needed in the room during all the pre-wedding chaos.
My make-up looked incredible! Highly recommend!

As a 63 year old mother of the groom, Gemma made me look and feel gorgeous and elegant. Gemma doesn't just put make up on you. She is an artist who creates masterpieces. And each person is an original masterpiece. No cookie cutter makeup job here. She took so much time blending, correcting, and shaping eyebrows until everything looked flawless. When I saw the professional photographs, I couldn't believe how beautiful, glamorous yet natural I looked. All I can say is thank you Gemma. You are the BEST and obviously love what you do. You made me look magical on the most magical day??

Gemma was fantastic! She is the sweetest lady and did a fabulous job making me feel beautiful on my special day. She traveled out to my house for a trial before the wedding and even accomedated my early-morning wedding by showing up at 6:30 in the morning. She was so easy to work with ! I would highly recommend her.

Gemma was by far my favorite vendor that we worked with for our wedding. In fact, she is the unanimous best investment we made with our wedding from friends and family alike. My husband and I could not be happier with her services. My family was insane. Some of my bridesmaids weren't even game. Hair was late. My other vendors couldn't even recall most of the details we cared about. Not Gemma, she created such a personal oasis for me. Before, I felt so stressed and overwhelmed that I had a hard time not tearing up. She helped put me in perspective and joked about crazy things to try to make me laugh. Gemma was the most friendly, professional, and insanely talented makeup artists that I have ever, EVER worked with and I've seen my fair share. She did almost my whole bridal party. She showed up on time, put people at ease, worked with all the personalities. I swear I suspect my husband and I will return and we'll request her services again for any meaningful event in Florida. We couldn't say anything other than she was perfect. Make the investment here. It's worth it.

Gemma stepped in at the last minute when the other vendor let us down. She did an excellent job, professional and very caring. She brought tears to my eyes when I saw my Daughters makeup so very natural looking and gorgeous,
Thank you Gemma B.

I never thought I'd have so much fun sitting perfectly still for over an hour. Gemma is not only a brilliant makeup artist, she is funny and friendly and makes the stress just melt away while you sit there and get pampered. I hired her to do my wedding makeup as well as my five bridesmaids. She showed up perfectly on time with her "tool belt" and chair, despite having spent the entire day in Miami on a photo shoot the day before.

Because I was an out-of-town bride, I could only do my trial a few days before the actual event. She spent over 2 hours on our trial making sure to get the perfect matches for my skin tone and playing with looks. I wanted something fresh and romantic, and she hit the nail right on the head. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely perfect, and what seems like a "lot" of makeup in the chair came off looking like the most perfect skin and face in every photograph. We even made a "game time" decision to add false lashes to me because I wanted a real WOW factor and boy did I get one.

Gemma - I know my new husband would have teared up seeing me come down the aisle anyway, but I think I have YOU to thank for making his jaw drop!! THANK YOU!

Considering I am the cheapest person on earth, I wasn't even thinking
about having someone do my make-up. I am so glad that my wedding
planners recommended Gemma, she was amazing. I opted to skip the trial
session, in hindsight, I wish I did it because it would have been fun
to play around with colors and pick up make-up tricks from a
professional.

On the day of the wedding I brought in pictures from magazines and
considering I know nothing about make-up I wasn't sure how Gemma was
going to really understand my vision. All I know is that I am a
color-averse and I didn't want to look like a clown. Oh my goodness
was I so excited to see the magic Gemma created. I have had my makeup
done multiple times and I always had to tell them to tone it down.
Gemma's masterpiece was perfect. So much so, I have been trying to
recreate it ever since...I haven't been successful.

Gemma was awesome!!! We had a great time at the trial trying on makeup and laughing. She was not afraid of using color for my wedding. It has been difficult to get a makeup artist that knew how to match my skin without washing me out and she did a great job! She was really flexible with my day and I looked amazing thanks to her :)

Gemma was absolutely amazing. She listened to everything I asked for and was able to tailor my make-up perfectly. I wanted a very natural look (it was an outdoor wedding and I don't wear much makeup normally). The look was perfect, I felt like myself - not overly made up. She knows exactly what to do and I'm sure no matter what type of look you are going for Gemma can make it happen. Thanks Gemma B!!!

Gemma is not only an amazing makeup artist, but she is as sweet as can be! When I met her and her bubbly personality I fell in love! When I am booked and can't do a wedding I love referring my brides to her as I know they are in good hands!
