Joni was amazing!

I had such a great experience working with Joni in Jamaica! She went above and beyond by driving four hours just to provide her services. From one vendor to another, I really appreciated how open and accommodating she was, even allowing me to shoot my content around her setup. Her professionalism, positive attitude, and dedication made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and genuinely kind service!

Book her now!

I loved EVERYTHING about Gourmet Makeup! Joni and her assistant, Fran, were an amazing duo from start to finish. Joni's communication was phenomenal—even over email, I could feel her positive energy and attention to detail. She answered all my questions thoroughly and made sure everything was covered.

During our first convo, I shared my vision, and she was incredibly attentive and helpful in bringing it to life. We scheduled a trial for the day before the wedding, and it felt like getting my makeup done by a friend. All positive vibes—we laughed the whole time and got to know each other. We reviewed the look I was going for, and her professional insight helped me choose something that reflected both the occasion and my personality. I wanted to look like me, but with a pop of color and a little drama. She nailed it. I left that trial feeling confident the wedding day would be just as smooth—and it was.

On the big day, Joni and Fran went above and beyond. They did makeup for me and 8 ladies, each with their own personalities, preferences, and comfort levels when it came to makeup. Joni and Fran adjusted accordingly, all within the vision we had mapped out. The execution was flawless. We spent a long time together and through it all we laughed, we vibed, and our faces were STUNNING. Everyone was obsessed with their look!

If you want beautiful makeup by amazing women, do not hesitate to book with Joni. With so much going on that can make a wedding day stressful, our time with Gourmet Makeup was a moment to breathe, laugh, and take it all in. Joni doesn’t just provide a service—she creates a whole experience. BOOK HER!

Wouldn’t trust anyone else to be in the room on my wedding day!

I cannot recommend Joni and her team enough! From the moment we met, they were warm, professional, and truly listened to what I wanted for my wedding day—natural but at the same time special makeup and hair that felt like me. Not only did they deliver exactly that, but their work held up flawlessly through the heat and humidity of the Jamaican sun, from the ceremony all the way to dinner and drinks at our elopement!

Both of women I worked with had a calm, kind presence that made the getting-ready process feel relaxed and fun, and they brought such positive energy to the room. My makeup looked radiant without feeling heavy, and my hair stayed picture-perfect even with the island breeze. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely myself—and got so many compliments throughout the day.

If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented, kind-hearted, and knows how to make your look last in tropical weather, go with Gourmet Makeup. Truly one of the best decisions I made for my big day!

Wedding Makeup

What can I say. Joni is an absolute professional from minute I reached out to her to the day of my wedding. Joni was so approachable, organising zoom calls in advance to make me feel more at ease. I knew I was in good hands after that. The care and consideration taken into what I wanted was second to none. She created exactly what I wanted and more. I looked like myself but a more elavated version of me. I have to say it was my favourite makeup look ever. I’ve never had anyone do my makeup like Joni and now I only wish I had her with me everywhere. Don’t hesitate to book for the big day as you will not be disappointed. I felt beautiful while also feeling my natural self so much so that I really didn’t want to take the makeup off. Thank you Joni xx

Perfect Wedding Look

Joni did the best job for my wedding this past November in Jamaica! I can't recommend her enough. I was really nervous about getting professional makeup because I normally don't wear a lot, and Joni was really receptive of all of my concerns and what I liked and didn't like. She put so much care into asking the right questions so that I would end up with exactly what I wanted.

She was also just so personable, funny, and fun to be around and really calmed my nerves. All of my bridesmaids also looked AMAZING! And, it was obviously extremely hot and humid in Jamaica, and all of our makeup lasted the entire night.

Highly Reccomend

Joni is the real deal! Her skills speak for themself but she really made my makeup and hair vision come to life, not to mention it stayed in tact in the Jamaican heat and humidity! Additionally, their energy was exactly what I needed pre wedding - thoughtful and funny! my wedding morning was just perfect in part because of them :)

Above and Beyond – A Truly Exceptional Makeup Artist!

I rarely wear makeup, so I was a little nervous about my bridal glam, but Joni exceeded every expectation. She made my look feel so natural while ensuring it stayed flawless all day and night, through sweat and even tears! I didn’t have a trial run, but Joni somehow nailed the exact look I wanted. Her team is equally amazing, and they made my entire bridal party feel beautiful. Everyone was so happy with their makeup. I highly recommend Joni and her team—truly top-tier professionals! Thank you Joni!

I Can’t Recommend Joni Enough!

I cannot recommend Joni enough. Vetting vendors for a destination wedding can be challenging, but from the moment I reached out to Joni about doing the makeup for my wedding, I knew she was the perfect fit. She was very responsive and kept in touch leading up to our first meeting for the makeup trial. During the trial, I felt heard and completely comfortable in her chair. On the wedding day, Joni and her team did an amazing job. Every member of my bridal party, as well as myself, looked phenomenal, and we all had a blast with them as we got ready.

Joni is the best!

I can’t recommend Joni enough! From the moment we met at the trial, I felt completely at ease. She took the time to get to know me, listened to what I envisioned, and made the entire experience feel so personal—like working with family. On my wedding day, she absolutely delivered. My makeup was stunning—flawless, elegant, and long-lasting. I felt like the most beautiful, elevated version of myself, and it showed in every photo and every moment. Her energy was calm and comforting, exactly what I needed on such a special day. Thank you for helping me look and feel my best—I’m so grateful!
