Five stars 🌟

I had the best experience working with Makeup by Cortney! From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and incredibly talented. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and brought my vision to life perfectly. My makeup looked absolutely flawless — it was the perfect balance of glam and natural, and it photographed beautifully.

The products she used were high-quality and felt amazing on my skin. My makeup lasted the entire day (and night!) without needing a single touch-up. Beyond her skill, Cortney made me feel so comfortable and confident — her energy is warm, positive, and fun to be around.

I received so many compliments, and I honestly couldn’t have been happier with the results. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows her craft and makes you feel beautiful inside and out, I highly recommend Cortney. Five stars isn’t enough! ✨

An artist that goes above and beyond!

Cortney did all of my wedding party’s makeup back in 2020 and made every single one of us feel so beautiful. She’s personable, hardworking, and truly cares about her clients. She even flew out of state to make my big day extra special — something I’ll never forget! Cortney is so talented, and her work speaks for itself. You won’t be disappointed!

Wedding makeup

I found Cortney through a mutual friend and she was so responsive and kind in her messages. She was quick to answer any questions. During the makeup trial she confirmed that I liked how each step was looking and even redid one of my whole eyes because she didn’t think it was perfect. I love how much she paid attention to detail and I couldn’t have been happier with how my makeup turned out. I had so many compliments after my trial and on the day of my wedding. I would recommend of her over and over.
Fun fact: she also does makeup tips and will meet with you to learn how to apply your own makeup. I can’t wait to meet with her to do this.

Exceeded expectations

Cortney went above and beyond to make me and my bridal party feel beautiful on my special day. Whether girls wanted light natural make up or full glam she listened and everyone’s turned out amazing. My makeup stayed all day and night without needing any touch ups and it was very hot on my wedding day. I also danced during the entire reception and it still looked flawless. I would recommend Cortney to everyone! Book her for your special event and you will be so happy!!!!

Natural look or full glam- she will nail it!

Cortney can make anyone feel beautiful- I wear very minimal makeup and she nailed the natural/simple look!
She has done my makeup on several different occasions and nails each request every time!
She goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you want and feel your best!

Makeup By Cortney

Make Up By Cortney did the best job ever! My make up matched perfectly to my skin color. She picked the prettiest eye shadow. She is so nice and made me feel welcomed as soon as I sat in her chair. My make up lasted the whole day too!!
