September 14!

Leah is truly amazing at what she does. She brings a calm and loving energy, listens to what you want and executes it to perfection. I could not have been more happy with how my makeup looked and it lasted ALL day —even in the sun and heat! From myself, to my bridesmaids and my mom everyone’s makeup looked fantastic. You won’t be disappointed having Leah with you on your wedding day!

Hire her!

Leah is a boss queen. She is such an artist and treats every face like a masterpiece. She was also so reassuring when I was stressing out about the timeline the morning of my wedding. She made a detailed timeline for me but also remained flexible since life happens. She got everyone done and even squeezed in my husband to assist in the pimple that popped up that morning (he was ecstatic with how it just disappeared)!
She listened and understood my vision as a bride from the beginning. Even after my makeup trial, I had people reach out asking what she did cause it’s what they want for their own wedding. My entire bridal party was beyond thrilled and they all looked absolutely stunning. She made me feel sooo beautiful and the makeup lasted throughout the night (it was a HOT day)! Leah’s a real one and takes her work seriously. Everyone was so complimentary of her, and for good reason. Thank you Leah!!!

Hiring Leah as my makeup artist was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

From the start, Leah was so communicative and really, truly cared about my makeup. We had a trial in December when my skin was at its worst (dry, peeling) and she provided so many helpful recommendations for prepping my skin ahead of my wedding in April. She encouraged me to send her photos of the makeup throughout that day and into the night to ensure that it held up, and made recommendations/proposed changes in real time. She ultimately determined that the formula she used was not right for my skin and had me come back the next day for a redo. Fast forward to my wedding weekend, we had the formula down and my makeup was absolutely stunning for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day! It lasted all day long and through MANY tears and touchups from the resulting streaks. She and her second artist, Kyle Anne, took such good care of my bridal party and everyone looked amazing. She even had my mom feeling confident. I’m so grateful to her overall, but especially for that.

Beyond her makeup expertise, she is such a kind and caring person. When I saw her for my rehearsal dinner makeup, I was very anxious about the weekend ahead and mentioned that I hadn’t eaten anything that day. Without a second thought, she rushed off to heat up some homemade cinnamon rolls for me. I was so touched by this effortless kindness — I already had a feeling, but at that moment, I was sure that I was in the very best hands for one of the most important days of my life.

Thank you, Leah, for everything!
