Make U Up

Had such a great experience with Kristen with both hair and makeup for my wedding this past month. She was so accommodating and flexible with setting up trials, and planning for traveling to our venue in Fire Island. I loved my hair and makeup, everything felt so natural, yet elegant. She also did hair and makeup for a few other family members, and they looked amazing. She listens to everything you ask for, and works meticulously to make sure that you 100% love your look. Truly so happy that I found her page!

Kristen & her team were fantastic for hair and makeup on my wedding day! I did a hair/makeup trial with Kristen at her house and she exceeded all expectations. I showed her a few photos of what I wanted and she gave me her honest opinions and we figured out the perfect hair and makeup for me. On the wedding day she brought 3 artists with her to do hair/makeup for 12 girls (7:30am-12:30pm). All the girls and moms were so happy with how they looked and we had plenty of time to spare for touch ups. The hair and makeup lasted all day and looked beautiful on a hot summer day through sweat, tears and rain.

I just had another photo shoot for my business and had to write this review! Kristen has done my makeup since 2012 when I got engaged! She did my engagement makeup, wedding makeup, all my bridal party, my Mom, every major event in my life and now all my business photo shoots! I have recommended Kristen to multiple friends and everyone becomes obsessed! I have never found anyone who can compare to Kristen’s makeup skills. I have a massive amount of hair and every time Kristen makes magic happen and it stays looking fabulous always. It has been 10 years and I still hire Kristen for every major occasion! From my wedding day to now she has been my loyal go to for hair and makeup. If you are trying of make a decision on hair and makeup you will not be disappointed with Kristen from Make u up! She can come to you and her prices are so affordable. I look and feel like a movie star every time!

Kristen is the real deal. She listened to me and paid attention to every detail. I wanted a natural look and she was able to accomplish this. I highly recommend her services. Hair and makeup is extremely important as all eyes are on you as the bride. I looked perfect for my big day thanks to Kristen.

Kristen first did my makeup as a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding and I was truly blown away. She really listens to what you ask for as a client and made me feel so beautiful. Fast forward to my wedding my wedding this May, I was so relieved and happy Kristen was available to do my makeup. She is so polite and talented and I would recommend her 1000x more. She not only made me look beautiful, but also made my friends and family feel and look beautiful as well! Her pricing is great, she communicates well and quickly. I look forward to booking her for future events!

Cannot recommend Kirsten more highly. I had an idea of what I wanted, a simple bun, and we worked together to iterate on some of the pictures I showed based on my face structure etc. She was super sweet and really efficient day of. I loved my hair and makeup as did my bridesmaids & mom!

Kristen did hair&makeup for my friend's wedding in 2018 where I was a bridesmaid and I was so impressed with her work that I booked her for my own wedding in August 2019. She is SO incredibly easy to plan and work with - we had a consultation over the phone (again she had already recently done my hair/makeup so I didn't need a full wedding consult for myself). She was happy to travel into Manhattan in the early morning to have time to work on myself and all my family/bridesmaids/flower girls before pictures. As we had 8 women getting ready, she brought a colleague who did equally amazing work. They both finished everyone on schedule, and everyone looked incredible. Kristen has such range - giving me the look I wanted with subtle false eyelashes and natural looking bridal makeup, and giving my friends and mom/mother in law what they wanted and felt comfortable with - very important as some of them had never had makeup done before. Highly recommend!

Kristen was absolutely wonderful to work with. She did exactly what I wanted and it came out even better than I could have ever imagined! I would highly recommend her if you want someone who will help you make your day perfect!

Kristen is very talented and you can see she loves what she does ;) She is talented, friendly, and professional. My daughter was married outdoors on one of the hottest days this summer, but in the pictures we all look like its a cool crisp day ;) Make up and Hair stayed flawless all day into the night. Thanks to Kristen !!!

I had my hair done as a bridesmaid and loved it so much I immediately booked Kristen for my own wedding. She did all of my bridesmaids and everyone looked picture perfect and stunning. We had an interfaith wedding, so we had two ceremonies and a very long day of celebrating. Everyone looked absolutely fantastic until the very end of the night. Not only was the hair and makeup perfect, Kristen and her team were a pleasure to be around and wonderful to work with. Her prices were fantastic too. Cannot recommend her more highly!! Thank you, Kristen!
