Jennifer is one of the sweetest and most professional people I've ever met. Her positive energy radiates and makes getting your makeup done such a fun and memorable experience! Jennifer did my makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding. It was amazing the different looks she created for me for each event and how absolutely gorgeous she made me feel! Jennifer is so talented and makes you feel your most beautiful self without being fake and caked. I can't recommend Jennifer enough, she is such a special addition to your wedding day!

Jenn is amazing!

Jennifer is one of the most talented make up artists!!!! Her style is timeless, she is extremely knowledgable about makeup and skin care, and she makes you feel like an elevated version of YOU. These are all the reasons Jenn was one of the best choices I made for my wedding day! Jenn had the perfect energy for the morning of my wedding. She made everyone feel so welcomed and comfortable while we got ready together. Jenn also did two bridesmaids’ make up and two mothers’ make up for my wedding. Each girl LOVED their look! Additionally, not only did Jenn make sure everyone felt amazing, but she also made sure that I was eating and drinking water so I would feel my best. I cannot thank Jenn enough for bringing her knowledge and experience to make sure I was taken care of in all aspects! Jenn made me and my girls feel absolutely beautiful inside and outside for my wedding day. I highly recommend Jennifer to every bride out there!!!

JKO is the best!

Jennifer is the BEST!! My bridal hairstylist recommended JKO for my bridal makeup services, and man I am so grateful they did. Jennifer's work is classic, elegant, and timeless, and she truly gave me the bridal makeup of my dreams.
From my trial session to the big day, Jennifer was a total joy to work with--she was patient, thoughtful, and really listened to what I was looking for, and delivered beyond anything I could have imagined! Not to mention, my face stayed put and flawless through HOURS of dancing, sweating, eating, and drinking. She also did a fantastic job on everyone in my bridal party, my mom, and the MOG; everyone still raves about her and how amazing she was. If you're looking for an incredibly talented, kind, and professional makeup artist for your big day (or any occasion, honestly), hire JKO now!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
