The Absolute Best

I can't recommend Leah highly enough. Not only is she an exceptional makeup artist, she's the loveliest, warmest, calmest person and exactly the energy I needed the morning of my wedding. She knew exactly what we needed - music, a helping hand putting on my veil, whatever it was she was there to help. My mother and my makeup was breathtaking, she's a master at making you look like the most beautiful version of "you."

Beautiful work and a wonderful person!

Leah did our makeup for my sister's wedding 8 years ago and I knew I wanted to work with her again as soon as we got engaged! She does amazing, personalized work, and my mom, sister and I all looked glamorous yet natural (the best versions of ourselves!) on the wedding day. Not only does she do great work, Leah is also extraordinarily kind, calm, and truly a joy to spend time with which made the wedding day all the more enjoyable!

Stunning wedding make-up

Leah was amazing to work with and I felt STUNNING on my wedding day. She did my make-up, as well as my mom's and sister's. She is such a calming presence, and so affirming. When I met with her for a trial before the wedding she also gave me excellent guidance on adjusting my skin-care routine leading up to the wedding. When I broke out in hives 2 days before the wedding (pro tip: 3 days before your wedding is NOT the time to try a new zit cream), she responded to my frantic email with suggestions on calming the hives down, and she was able to cover the remaining redness perfectly on the wedding day so nobody could tell! I'm so glad I chose to book her services.

I have never looked as beautiful as when Leah did my makeup. She was so much fun to work with. She made the day easier by having such a light personality that helped us not be so serious. Everyone looked amazing.

Leah was absolutely amazing. From my initial trial through the wedding day, she was responsive, adaptable, and a joy to work with. Prior to meeting her, I had a few unsuccessful attempts at finding a makeup artist for my wedding. Other artists left me feeling really overdone and not looking like myself at all. I had the exact opposite experience with Leah. She has a background in skincare and years of experience behind her. During the trial, she took the time to document my needs and preferences and created a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. When I wanted changes, she adapted quickly and seamlessly. On the big day, she was a ray of sunshine, providing much-needed humor and calm during a really stressful morning. In addition to my makeup; she did my entire bridal party; each are still raving about how beautiful and confident they felt. I can't recommend Leah highly enough and can't wait to use her services again soon. She really is the best!

Leah is the best. First, she was able to get details out of me about how I wanted to look when I only had "I don't know- make me look pretty?" in my head. She was fun, calm, professional, flexible, and kind the day of my wedding. Also, I looked and felt gorgeous!

Choosing Leah to do my makeup was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. I am very particular and picky with my makeup, and Leah spent a ton of time beforehand with me to make sure that the makeup on the day of my wedding would be exactly the way I wanted it. It looked great and lasted well all through the night. Leah was super responsive and she also had a wonderful calming presence on my wedding day. I had a rather unruly bridal party, showing up late, trying to switch around appointments last minute etc., and Leah dealt with them in a way that was professional but also did not jeopardize the schedule I had put together, and kept me calm in the process. I received a handwritten thank you note after, which was such a special touch, but she is the one who deserves a huge thank you. I highly recommend booking her!!

Leah was fantastic! One of my friends who used Leah for her wedding told me that the first wedding vendor I should book is Leah, and I'm so happy that I did! Leah did my makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding, and both times my makeup looked AMAZING. Leah is extremely professional, and the makeup looked flawless in photos without looking cakey or heavy in person. It also lasted the whole evening despite the heat and humidity during my August wedding.

Leah is incredibly sweet and takes an interest in her clients. She talked through skincare routines in advance of the wedding day to make sure my skin looked great. She has a very calming and reassuring tone, so even my mother-in-law, who had never had her makeup done professionally and doesn't usually wear makeup, enjoyed the process. Leah listened to what each of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law wanted for their makeup, and made sure each person was happy with the final product. I had a wonderful time working with Leah and am so glad I used her for my wedding. I HIGHLY recommend booking Leah for your wedding!

Leah is absolutely wonderful and I was so lucky to have her do my makeup for my recent wedding. She is very good at what she does, and definitely makes you feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was also trained as an aesthetician, so she's perfect to work with if you have any concerns about your skin, too! I wanted to look like a better version of myself on my wedding day and not overly done up, and she nailed it. I felt confident and pretty, and that's exactly what you want in a makeup artist. As a bonus, the application lasted over 12 hours with minimal touchups! I felt lucky to have found someone as talented as Leah and would recommend her to anyone!

I was lucky to work with a lot of very talented and professional vendors for our wedding. Leah, however, is the only one I walk away from wedding planning thinking I would want as a friend in ‘real life.’ Leah is so friendly, such a calm voice on wedding day and put everyone at ease. Leah had great recommendations during our trial for my look and for overall skincare habits and products (most of which I’ve taken and am super happy with). And on wedding day everyone’s makeup was absolutely perfect. I don’t wear makeup regularly and on wedding day felt like me…just a bridal version of me. I could not have been happier.
