Jen is amazing! The best experience!

I had the most incredible experience working with Jen from beginning to end! First of all her incredible energy is contagious to be around and she is a true professional when it comes to what she does. Jen is incredibly passionate about applying makeup and making you glow both inside and out. She made coordinating makeup for myself and a few family members the day of my wedding so seamless. Jen also applied makeup for my engagement pictures, wedding shower and rehearsal dinner. Also my pictures turned out amazing and the best part is I look like myself but better. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend Jen enough.

Jen is the best I have worked with!

Jen did my makeup for my wedding and she was amazing. I had butterflies before she arrived - pre wedding nerves - and she was like a ray of sunshine. She put me at ease immediately! The make up was flawless. I felt like the most gorgeous version of myself - and the makeup was as perfect at the end of the night as it was at the beginning. I have used Jen many times since my wedding for events and business engagements. She is my go-to and I highly recommend her.

Best experience with Jen Cayle Gaum

Jen was an amazing makeup artist for our wedding and wedding party (held on different days). She is incredibly easy to work with, and brought a very calming and reassuring presence to an otherwise stressful day -- Jen immediately puts you at ease. Most importantly, she did an outstanding job with everyone's makeup. Everyone looked and felt beautiful thanks to Jen's incredible talent and ability to translate a vision into reality.

We could not have been happier with how we looked -- I cannot recommend Jen and her team enough!
