"On your wedding day, you should look like yourself at your most beautiful." -Bobbi Brown

Leanne to the Rescue (Twice!)

Leanne is a total lifesaver and an absolute artist! She saved my sister’s backyard wedding during COVID, so it only felt right that she did my makeup for my post-elopement... A true full circle moment 💕 She took my vision of a soft glam with a pop of glitter and made it perfection. It was just enough shimmer for a glow without being overwhelming. I felt gorgeous! And when I had a last-minute hair emergency, she even fixed it herself (talk about going above and beyond!). I can’t recommend her enough. Leanne truly makes you feel your best inside and out. ✨

One of the Best Choices You Can Make For Your Wedding.

I had the good fortune of having Leanne do my makeup twice for two different events. I’d like to start off by saying that I am someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup…anymore. I used to do the full on, everything for years and over the last couple of them, I have scaled major league back. Fast forward to August 15th of 2021, my sister was having a vow renewal ceremony to celebrate her one year wedding anniversary. This was when my path crossed with Leanne for the first time. Her professional, calm, and happy demeanor was a lovely addition to the day. Little did I know that I would be seeing her again soon!
While we were celebrating my sister and her husband, I was also planning my own wedding with a date of October 31st, 2021. I had actually had my makeup trial shortly before my sister’s event. That was another artist, who had done my makeup before as well. There was nothing wrong with that artist, she listened and did a wonderful job, what made me decide to change to Leanne, was one very simple thing. Airbrushed makeup!!!
With Leanne’s expertise in airbrushed makeup, my makeup lasted through a hot August day of humidity, sweat, dancing, and being a maid of honor and still looking flawless. For my own wedding day in October, I wanted to be sure that my makeup was done, and done right, and I wouldn’t have to think about it. I’d like to add that even though it is full coverage makeup, it feels like you have nothing on!!! Leanne is wonderful, and a joy to have around as you prepare for whatever your day has in store, wedding, photoshoot, and everything in between.

Leanne is AMAZING - Hire her!

Leanne was AMAZING and the best vendor I hired during my wedding process. I had booked makeup elsewhere for my wedding back in late 2019 and then ended up having to postpone our date to late 2021 due to Covid. During that time, my prior makeup vendor flaked out and I had to book someone new in about a 3 day timeline. Several people I know recommended Leanne. She got back to my initial outreach within minutes, was able to get updates and commit with a new contract for me within a couple days. During the final 3 months of wedding planning, she was able to accommodate my trial (I live out of state so had very limited availability I was around MA) and I was able to book her for my rehearsal dinner makeup application. Plus she had a referral for me to book my rehearsal hair!

Leanne gave me tips to prepare my skin for the big day and was THE BEST the day of. She kept me calm, showed up right when I expected her to arrive, worked efficiently, was able to recommend the best order for our 11 applications (so I could avoid being last but still have ample time for my hair) and was so friendly and fun! Plus she is an expert in the biz and told me when to call when one of my other vendors was late! She featured me and my girls on her insta and TikTok and truly made me feel BEAUTIFUL! She is fun, friendly, EXPERIENCED, TALENTED, responsive and well worth every penny!!! Not to mention she accepts all payment options which was super convenient. I love Leanne and the best thing I did was book her for my wedding and the events prior!! Thank you Leanne for making me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day!

Exactly What I Was Hoping For!

We had to cancel our wedding last minute due to covid and decided to do a small backyard ceremony. I was recommended to Leanne by a relative and was super nervous to get my makeup done without a trial. I had also hated every other time I have gotten my makeup done in the past. I showed Leanne a couple pictures as an example of what I was looking for and she did exactly that. My makeup was PERFECT. I am so pleased with Leanne's work. She was super easy to communicate with, arrived on time, super outgoing and nice, and I can't thank her enough for the work she did with my makeup. HIGHLY recommend!!

I first met Leanne when she did my makeup for a friend's wedding, and I was really excited to book her for my own wedding a year later! Leanne is an incredibly talented makeup artist, and I was so happy with how she was able to make me feel comfortable in my personal style, but still elevate my overall look for makeup worthy of my wedding. My makeup truly lasted all day - through heat, sweat, crying, excitement. It photographed beautifully as well! Leanne did the makeup for my bridal party as well, including some folks who NEVER wear makeup, and did a great job of making them feel comfortable and still giving them a beautiful look that complimented mine. If you are looking for a great makeup artist, book Leanne! She's was amazing!!

Leanne was amazing! I never wear makeup and she was able to give me a look that was natural yet glamorous and just perfect for my wedding. The airbrush is awesome and so light I didn’t even feel like I was wearing it. She happily made adjustments to the makeup so I felt comfortable. I highly recommend Leanne!

Leanne is a true artist! I cannot say enough amazing things about her. It's been 9 months since my wedding, and I still look back on that day and get giddy with how beautiful I felt. A big part of that was Leanne's amazing makeup. Not only is she warm and personable, genuinely caring that you feel like an absolute goddess on your big day, but she is a topnotch professional. Her client welcome packet which I received in the mail before my consult/trial had already impressed me as a fellow small business owner. Meeting her in person just sealed the deal. She went through my inspiration images with me, pointing out various common elements and themes, truly listened to my vision and feedback, and then made everything even better than I could've imagined. On my wedding day, she also did the makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law. Everyone looked and felt absolutely beautiful. Her calm and inviting energy also helped us all stay in the best of moods throughout the long morning of preparations. As a wonderful bonus, she worked seamlessly alongside our hair stylist so we could all be ready in time. I've already recommended her to a friend (who also hired her for her wedding) and will continue to do so. As a matter of fact, I've kept her information handy for future events I might need professional makeup for. Just go ahead and book her! You will not regret it for a single moment.

Leanne made my wedding day so special. She arrived early to my venue location and was flexible about setting up her station. She was accommodating to some last minute changes and included a trial session before the wedding day. Her work is incredible and she adapts to what your style is and how YOU want to appear on your day. She is very calm and easy-going and made me feel like a princess on my wedding day. I'm so glad I booked with Leanne and would definitely use her again in the future.

Leanne is absolutely amazing! My MOH found her by looking through her work on Facebook and suggested I check her out. From what I could see, her work was amazing so I decided to book her that day. She responded to my messages almost immediately and her contract and outline were extremely well detailed. She even gave me postmarked envelopes to mail my deposits! Music to a stressed out bride's ears!

On the day of, she arrived early to set up so we could start right on time. We planned a start time of 10am and stop of 3pm (1 hr per each person) and we finished with a few minutes to spare! The work she did the day of was truly breathtaking. Each of the girls got airbrush and eyelash application ($15 additional dollars well spent). She walked each person through the steps she was taking, gave fun little tips for self application, and made sure we looked flawless! Leanne is super personable and she fit right in with our group of girls! I HIGHLY recommend Leanne! She is worth every penny spent!
