This woman is a literal miracle worker. My original makeup artist had to back out the week of my wedding. Jessi stepped in with no consult and did a better job than I knew was humanly possible. She made me look flawless, perfect, unbelievably incredible. I looked completely like myself, but better. No over the top stage makeup, just enhanced beauty. She was a delight to spend an hour with. Hire her, she is an artist of the greatest caliber. I would hire her for every important event for the rest of forever.

Jessi saved my wedding! I had initially booked through a salon a family friend owned until...I contacted the makeup artist about two months before the wedding, and she said she no longer worked at the salon and wished me good luck. I contacted the hairstylist, who said he could still do hair but I needed to find a makeup artist. Fortunately, the owner of the wedding venue had a recommendation...Jessi! We were able to schedule a trial a little over a month out, and it went so well and I was really happy with the look. Jessi also gave me some recommendations on products to use, which I used up until the wedding day (and still am). We hit another snag a week before the wedding when the hairstylist stopped contacting me. Jessi to the rescue again! She had a stylist she worked with, and we were able to schedule a trial for that weekend. On the day of, there were some problems getting my hair to behave and some pieces of my hair did fall out of its updo (that's another review entirely), but my makeup was flawless. My only complaint is that one of my false eyelashes started coming unglued, but it was an easy fix. Overall, so happy that Jessi was able to work her magic and made my bridesmaids and me look stunning. Thank you Jessi!!!

I absolutely adore Jessi!! I don't think I have ever once liked my makeup done by someone else until my trial run with Jessi. She is amazing and multi talented! My whole wedding party and the moms all loved their hair and makeup. It all photographed so beautifully and I feel so lucky to have had her and her team for my wedding day. I used extensions for my wedding day and my hair is rather short and fine. After our trial run we noticed when all pinned back they had a pinkish hue. She took the time to meet me before the wedding, trimmed out all the reddish lowlights, and precurled them all before the big day. Her and her team all bring their own supplies including makeup chairs. Seriously you can't go wrong with Jessi!!

Jessi from Firemakeup saved my wedding day!!! Jessi was not scheduled for my day (of course you can't have a wedding without a problem). With minimal notice Jessi swooped in to fix all of my bridal parties makeup. All she was missing was a cape. She is amazing and made my whole bridal party feel gorgeous. You should stop your search right now and hire Firemakeup for your next event. She will always have a special place in my heart for being the superhero with a brush that saved my wedding day!

Jessi did my wedding day makeup, as well as makeup for several other ladies. She came to us, was super fun and very professional, and, most importantly, we all looked gorgeous! I did do a trial before the big day, which was useful just to take some nerves/pressure off the day-of.

Seriously, I want Jessi to doll me up every day! Highly recommend.

I met Jessi during a styled photoshoot, and have since worked with her many times. Each and every time, the models & brides look amazing!!! Jessi has an innate ability to let your inner beauty shine, while still managing to evoke a time, a place, a feeling that can be captured on film. I'm' curious, so I've watched her work - she has a vivacious and fun personality, puts her models and clients at ease, and really knows what she is doing. The beauty of what she does, is that it stands the test of time - look at her portfolio - gorgeous!! I couldn't, more happily, recommend FireMakeup Artistry by Jessi Pagel Diaz!!!
