I had Happy do make up for myself (the bride) and all of the wedding party. She was fabulous! She took her time with each one of us, yet she had us all ready in time for pictures. Happy did unique looks on us based upon our requests. Every ones make up was beautiful and it lasted well over 12 hours. Happy also saved the day after my baker for the grooms cake cancelled on me a few short weeks before the wedding. Happy designed a 3 tier superman cake and even made figurines for the top that looked like my husband and I. My husband absolutely loved the cake. Happy Payne was just lovely to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!

When it came to my make up for my wedding I wanted someone that I could count on and someone that would make me look beautiful. Happy Payne was on time, professional and made me look the best I've ever looked. I am very picky with make up. She is by far my favorite make up artist that I have ever used! She made me look flawless while at the same time natural. My make up stayed perfectly all day even though it was a very long day! She was so sweet. I highly recommend using Happy Payne for your special day! She does flawless work and very professional.
