I'm so glad I booked with Amy as the makeup artist for my wedding. She is very kind, professional, and talented. I met with Amy 3 months before my wedding and she spent almost 2 hours during the trial making sure I was completely satisfied. Even when I didn't completely like the look, she remained calm and made changes to make the look exactly what I wanted. I requested airbrushed makeup and even with oily skin (and a very long day!), it lasted all day/night. My makeup looked flawless even when we left our wedding at midnight, 14 hours after my makeup was done. Amy is very flexible and was willing to make changes as she completed my makeup and even a few minutes after finishing when I requested more brow filler. She was also prepared to do the make up of other bridesmaids but we only had time for me and my matron of honor.

As a fellow professional makeup artist, I would recommend Amy with 100% confidence! She is professional, friendly and will go out of her way to make sure that you are completely happy and confident. She has worked with me on a number of weddings when I was in a bind and needed help and the bridesmaids looked beautiful! Things to remember going into a trial: have a clear vision of how you want to look, if you bring a photo of a style that you like; have realistic expectations. If you don't like something about the makeup communicate that with the artist and allow them to fix it. That is what a "trial" is for. It's a practice run through. Finally, realize that we are working artists using our products and dedicating our time to creating these looks. It is not uncommon to charge a fee for a trial. I highly recommend Amy for whatever type of makeup service you may need.

If you're looking for someone to enhance your beauty, make you feel beautiful, confident, comfortable, and who is really nice and friendly, you have found the right person! I've gotten professional make up services many times before (and I am very particular about my look) but I have never met anyone like Amy. She beautified my entire wedding party of 6 with such care and professionalism. Everybody was happy and we looked beautiful all night long! I was so blessed by my experience with Amy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for any event!

Thank you Amy for making my wedding that much more special and my entire wedding party looked amazing in all of the wedding photos!

Amy was wonderful! I was nervous because I had not met her before the trial (which was 4 days prior to my wedding because I live out of state) but she was very open and communicative prior to our meeting. She was flexible with my trial date and was patient as we tried different color pallets. She showed up on my wedding day right on time and was such a calming energy to have on the big day. I absolutely loved my makeup, it was better than I even envisioned. She is professional, kind and good at what she does. I wish she lived closer so I could use her for more events in the future. Thank you, Amy.

I had a destination wedding on Lake Michigan which was challenging to plan at times. However, once I found Amy, I knew I was in good hands. She was very flexible with her schedule and worked with my travel schedule to fit in a makeup trial just two days before my wedding. My wedding makeup was great and looked great in my photographs.

Amy was excellent, it was like having a friend over to do our makeup and I was amazed at how beautiful my sisters and mother looked! We were all so happy with her work and would definitely recommend Amy to anyone...

Amy was responsible. She traveled to the site and was on time.
Amy was flexible. She did makeup around the hair appointments. She was a calm presence. My daughter's make up was stunning!

Amy was wonderful the day of my wedding! I loved my makeup and it looked flawless. It also stayed flawless throughout the night. I did the full face makeup with airbrush and it was worth every penny! Another thing- her prices were very reasonable. I'm glad I did the airbrush because our wedding was on a beach and the reception was at a old Coast Guard Station so with the sun and sweat, everything stayed in place! It was great! Thank you, Amy.

I would absolutely recommend Amy for your service.
