The best decision I made for my wedding

Jennifer did such an amazing job with my wedding makeup and hair, I could not recommend her more. She is professional, punctual, talented, and an all around lovely person. I first met her for a makeup trial where she worked with me and looked at my dress/ inspiration pictures to help me find the right look for my wedding which I desperately needed help with as I am not much of an everyday makeup wearer besides some basic foundation and mascara. She made my skin look flawless and glowing and I loved that she helped me find a look that was beautiful and polished and natural and still looked like me. On my wedding day she was so organized and calming, exactly the sort of person you want around before the craziness of your wedding day, she did an exceptional job and I felt so beautiful, the makeup lasted all day and evening- even through all the tears and all the dancing- she even helped with putting on my veil which was so helpful! She was efficient and was able to do my mother's makeup (who was very pleased as well and looked stunning at the ceremony) and help my sister apply her eyelashes (thank you!) as well all with plenty of time for pictures for the wedding party before the ceremony. I honestly can't recommend Jennifer enough, she was the loveliest person to work with for my wedding and she took away all the stress I had about out of getting ready the morning of my wedding- all I had to do was put on my dress and she literally took care of everything else. I will most definitely be recommending her to all of my engaged friends in NYC area to use for their wedding!

Great experience

When I began the process of looking for a makeup artist for my wedding day, I was most concerned about looking like myself (but fancier:) without tons of makeup), working with someone who I trusted, and feeling comfortable with their personality while relying on their service, skills and time-table. Jennifer not only met all of my requirements, but she was Easy to work with and has a great personality. I knew I would be anxious on my wedding day, and I wanted people around me who would bring good, calm energy and Jennifer and her assistant, Pam did just that. They listened to what I and my friends wanted and we loved our makeup. We can be our own worst critics and I really loved how she did my makeup ... it stayed on the entire evening, I looked like myself, and got tons of compliments; really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her!!! (Jennifer and Pam did my makeup, bridesmaids and my mom’s makeup.)

She was truly amazing. Came on time and truly made me and my now husband truly happy the photos came out perfect thanks to her makeup. Love her.

She was truly amazing. She helped me find the wedding look I wanted. I do not tend to wear makeup and I wanted to look like myself walking down the aisle. Truly grateful and thankful for her.

Awesome Makeup Artist!!

Jennifer was awesome!! She was able to accommodate a last minute extra person and was so friendly. My bridal party was a bit rambunctious and she totally went with the flow and felt like she was one of the girls. Her work was absolutely perfect and my makeup stayed throughout the entire night without any touch-ups!! I would highly recommend Jennifer for anyone looking for makeup for any event.

Thoughtful and attentive; beautiful work!

Jennifer did a fantastic job with my makeup - I felt beautiful, but also like myself, and the photos proved it. Jennifer is excellent; she asks questions to make sure you're on the same page throughout the process, she uses great products (I now use many of the things she recommended!), and her attention to detail and kind presence made for a terrific session. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jennifer!

Jennifer really knew how to take care of us!

I recently had my trial with Jennifer and immediately booked her! She did my mom's makeup, my grandmother's makeup, and my makeup in a timely manner, really taking care of our individual needs.

Jennifer is simply the best!

Not only is she easy to be around, but she's extremely talented and patient. She was able to translate a few example images for my wedding flawlessly. The products she uses are highest quality and her attention to detail is so appreciated on a day where you want to look and feel your very best. Don't think twice and hire Jennifer for your wedding!
