Incredible!

This review is long overdue but it’s been nagging on my mind to give this woman the credit she deserves! Jennifer shared her niche is natural wedding day makeup but I wanted something a little more glamorous. I lived in CO at the time of my wedding and was unable to meet in advance for a trial. Jennifer was so incredibly responsive to emails and the many pictures I sent of the look I wanted. She guided me in finding the right lipstick color (which was very important to me). One of my bridesmaids is super glamorous with makeup, while my mom wanted extremely natural. Literally everyone was thrilled with their look. She checks in and has you look in the mirror for feedback numerous times to make sure you’re happy.

Beyond her skills as a makeup artist, she also has such a relaxing presence. My nerves were high but she helped me feel at ease.

Almost forgot, a woman in the catering staff at the end of the night told me I looked beautiful AND most importantly, that my makeup still looked and incredible. It lasted all night!! My face did not melt! So important!!

HIRE HER. You will not regret it.

Best Makeup

Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She is very professional and listened to what we wanted for my daughter's wedding day. Everyone looked beautiful, and our makeup was natural-looking, like we wanted. I would hire Jennifer again in a second!

The best decision I made !!

Jennifer is so talented! Her pricing felt very fair for her level of skill + professionalism. Jennifer's overall calm, collaborative energy shows through from the makeup trial to the wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, confident, glowy AND still totally like myself, which was really important to me. My 9 bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law all looked radiant and were so pleased with their makeup. Jennifer is organized, easy to communicate with, and made everything feel effortless. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Fantastic Wedding Makeup Artist!

I had such a great experience working with Jennifer for my wedding day last September. She is extremely talented and professional. She worked with me from the makeup trial to the wedding day to create a wedding makeup look that felt natural and elegant. She is very efficient and was able to complete my large wedding party’s makeup in great timing and everyone was so happy with their looks! I can’t recommend Jennifer enough!

5-Star Experience

I had the most incredible experience with Jennifer. From the very start, she provided exceptional service not only for me but also for my entire bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, Jennifer was such a calming presence to have by my side on my big day, which meant the world to me. During our trial, she took extra care to provide me with a variety of options, and I truly appreciated how she listened to my preferences while offering thoughtful guidance. This process gave me so much confidence in my wedding day look. If you're planning a wedding in the Upstate NY/Vermont area, I can't recommend Jennifer Perellie enough. She also introduced me to the amazing hairdresser I used, and together they made the perfect team!

The absolute best!

I'm so happy I was able to book Jennifer to do my wedding makeup. I truly felt beautiful on my wedding day and so did my bridesmaids and the moms. She took the time to listen to what I was looking for and nailed it! Also, my makeup lasted the whole night. She's also just a very caring human being and was very professional. It was a lot of fun having her be a part of our wedding day. Would highly recommend :)

Forever my favorite makeup artist

I’ve never left a makeup chair without thinking that I should’ve just done my own makeup until I met Jennifer. I wish for every future event, my makeup could be done by her! The way she understands how to bring out your natural beauty is something I value so much and am so grateful for. She made me feel so comfortable starting at the trial with actually being able to communicate in a manor that didn’t feel pressurized because she truly wants you to love how you look after. And that’s exactly what happened. I’ve never felt more myself, more beautiful and elevated than I did on my wedding day. Like the title says, forever my favorite makeup artist!!

Book Jennifer - so talented!

Jennifer is just incredible! Absolutely book her if you can. Jennifer did makeup for both my sister's wedding and my wedding. After my sister's, we knew that we needed to book her for mine too! As someone who does not wear makeup on a daily basis, it was very important to me that I still looked like my natural self. And Jennifer does just that! For the two weddings I've been a part of with Jennifer, she has done just a fabulous job with every single person. She also makes the process very easy and is a pleasure to be around!

Amazing, a no-brainer

I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist during my wedding weekend! Jennifer is extremely kind, professional, and amazing at what she does. She made all of us (different ages, skin types, styles) feel our best both Friday & Saturday nights. Everyone's makeup was unique, flawless and lasted all night. Choosing vendors can difficult but going with Jennifer is an absolute no-brainer.

Beautiful!

Jennifer is fantastic! I am not a huge makeup wearer, and she made me feel so comfortable. She listened to everything I had to say during my trial and we were able to try out a few different looks. She was so responsive via email and open to changes even up to the day of my wedding. She made me feel so beautiful and my makeup lasted all night, even with some heavy dancing! Thank you Jennifer for everything!
