Above and Beyond Makeup Artist!

I can’t recommend Lynne enough! From my very first bridal trial, she made me feel so comfortable, welcome, and absolutely beautiful. Even though I’m not the best at explaining exactly what I want, she worked her magic with minimal direction and nailed the look I was going for perfectly.

On my wedding day, which was a bit chaotic due to a last-minute venue change (thanks to a nor’easter), she was incredibly flexible and calm. While I was busy coordinating with vendors, she jumped right in and got all the women in my family ready without missing a beat. What really impressed me was how she went above and beyond, offering extra makeup services for other family members attending the wedding, making them feel just as gorgeous.

Her professionalism and skill were a lifesaver on such a hectic day, and I can’t thank her enough for making everyone look and feel so beautiful. If you’re looking for an amazing makeup artist, look no further—I highly recommend her!

Elevated natural makeup

I could not have been happier with Lynne’s make up artistry for my wedding! Lynne is so sweet and did an amazing job on my bridal party. She has a talent for bringing out your natural features and creating beautiful, soft looks.

I have had my makeup done by other artists in the past and have not been happy. It either came out too cakey or my eye makeup was unflattering. I have hooded lids which can be challenging, so I was nervous going into my trial based on past experiences. I can not emphasize how much of an amazing job Lynne did - she made me feel so radiant and confident.

My mother was also very nervous to have her makeup done since she’d never done it before, but she came out stunning as well. Lynne is able to flawlessly work across different ages and ethnicities and bring your makeup vision to life. I would work with Lynne again in a heartbeat!

Excellent Wedding Makeup

Lynne did my makeup for my small COVID wedding. She was very flexible, agreeing to do just my makeup even though she typically does larger parties, and gave me a very reasonable price. We had a consultation over zoom and discussed what style I was looking for. She was on time and very communicative the day of the wedding, came prepared, and even stayed a little longer than agreed to wait until I ate so she could do any touch up just before I went out. She was very calm, kind, professional, and just a joy to be around.

My only piece of advice is that if you are like me and don't typically wear a lot of makeup, do a trial run. Because of COVID I decided not to, but in hindsight I think it would have helped. This isn't specific to Lynne, just generally I learned that while I loved what she did and felt great the day of, I think doing a trial run would have helped us tweak it a bit more to make the makeup feel closer to my usual style. Again, nothing to do with Lynne, just a general piece of advice.

I highly recommend Lynne if you're looking for a talented and kind person to do your makeup for your wedding!

Stunning Makeup for Wedding Day

Lynne did the most amazing makeup for my wedding day! Lynne was so amazing to work with and knew the perfect products to use for everything. I showed her a photo of what I was looking for and she was able to create a elegant and glamorous look that I was hoping for. Before we finished the trial we looked at many different lipstick colors to decide what would go best, and Lynne offered so many options.
The day of the wedding Lynne arrived at my house on time and was able to do my makeup, my mom's and was able to add my Maid of Honor in as well. Everyone's makeup was perfect for them, and was natural but elegant. Lynne did such an amazing job, and was so wonderful to work with. I am so grateful that she was able to be part of my day!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lynne! Not only is she an unbelievable make-up artist, but she is truly such a kind, calming presence who was a joy to have around on my wedding day. She is such a pro with both traditional foundation and airbrush, and my make-up did not move throughout the day despite the 95 degree weather! She also includes lashes in her pricing, which really made each girl pop. She made everyone look naturally beautiful, enhancing their wonderful features, and I LOVED how she didn’t overdo it or make anyone look fake/unlike themselves. My mom was especially hesitant to have her make-up done professionally at risk of “not looking like herself” and Lynne was FABULOUS. She calmly put her at ease and made her feel beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Lynne to anyone, and look forward to having her do my make-up again!

Lynne did such a wonderful job for for my wedding this past August! I have been going to see Lynne for over a year now. I was able to get my bridal shower makeup done by Lynne, and I also went to her for facials during the months leading up to the wedding to ensure my skin looked great for the big day! Lynne has such a great energy - exactly the type you want around you on your big day!! My bridesmaids, mom, and MIL could not say enough good things about her work. My MIL is actually specifically going to Lynne for her makeup for her next son's wedding because she did such an amazing job!! Do yourself a favor and look no further for your wedding makeup artist. Hire her, and you'll be SO glad you did.

I got to meet Lynne this past weekend as I was matron of honor in my best friends wedding and I can share with you that she is the best makeup artist that I have gotten and I've been in countless weddings. She did the makeup of 7 bridesmaids, one friend and 2 moms and I can tell you, everyone looked absolutely stunning. To see my best friend (the bride) absolutely glowing and happy on her wedding day was magical. Lynne's warm and caring presence set the tone for the day and made each one of us feel amazing in every way. I will absolutely recommend Lynne to any bride or person that wants their makeup done, her talents are hard to put into words, but I tell you, you will feel the beauty that she transmits through the brush. I felt my best version of myself on the inside and the outside, and I believe it's because of Lynne.

If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!! Lynne is a genius. Being in the entertainment field for many years, I am very particular when it comes to my makeup and I don't trust many people. Lynne had my trust as soon as we connected at my makeup trial. She is compassionate, she listens and she obviously loves what she does. How she made me look after only sleeping 4 hours on a red eye.... I knew I was in wonderful hands. She is literally brilliant. My makeup was flawless on the day and my entire wedding party looked stunning. Lynne is a truly gifted makeup artist and I couldn't recommend her enough!

I have always been one to struggle with how I feel about my beauty and body image. Since I was a young child going to visit Lynne for eyebrow pluckings, makeup before proms and other important occasions in my life, she was always there for me more than just as a skillful artist who makes all people feel their most beautiful - her warm and nurturing manner, encouragement and grace are what brings you out the most lovely glow in her clients.
I had Lynne do my makeup for my wedding day and it was beyond perfect - not only did she help me find my beauty within and make me stunning for photos and the ceremony, she put everyone else in the room at ease. She did makeup for my mother, who never wears it, making her feel extremely comfortable. She also did my gender-non confirming Friend of Honor in a way that put them at ease with their inner glow, too. For not only the gorgeous work but for her care and temperament and eye for detail and attention, Lynne Avallone will always be the best makeup artist in New England and beyond. Do not hesitate to book her. She is an absolute professional and wonderfully talented. You won't regret it. Thank you, forever, Lynne, for that magical day!

Lynne was amazing. She did my make up for my wedding, along with two other women. She was efficient, kind, and accommodating. She was also very fun to be with, and was very calm, which is great for the big day! She's an ultimate professional who did a great job. We all loved our make up, and she made sure we were all pleased! If I'm ever in need of her services again, I know I'll be in good hands, and I'd recommend her to anyone. Thank you for being so great on my wedding day Lynne!
