Britney's review

I was extremely happy with the hair and makeup service provided by Makeup by Chelsea for my bridesmaids, mother, grandmother, aunt, mother-in-law, and myself. Chelsea and her team captured the stunning look that we all dreamed of. She is reliable, talented, and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her on your wedding day.

My Vow Renewal was a Wow Renewal!

I never had the fancy, fairy tale wedding until this year when my husband and I renewed our vows. I wanted a natural yet glamorous look and Chelsea did more than just deliver! I was beautiful! She gave me the warmth and attention needed to reassure my anxiety throughout the process, and then, when she turned me to face the mirror, I could have cried from how beautiful I looked. I 100% recommend working with her. She listens and is super talented!

I felt so beautiful!

Chelsea was recommended to me by a friend, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone else looking for wedding make up!

We arranged a trial before the wedding to figure out what I liked best. I don't typically wear much makeup, so I didn't know what to ask for, but Chelsea created the perfect look for my wedding day. She is so kind and made me feel comfortable asking for adjustments during the trial. When I showed up on wedding day, I knew I was in great hands!

Chelsea did makeup for my 6 bridesmaids and me for our wedding day. Everyone looked beautiful and our makeup lasted throughout the evening.

Love her! Best day!

My daughter and I did makeup lessons for fun! She wanted to learn to use makeup and I wanted to look younger! We both looked amazing and not like clowns! She listened and was the best teacher!!

Wonderful, beautiful and fun

We had such an amazing experience with Chelsea and her team doing hair and make up for my entire bridal party including my mom, mother in law, junior bridesmaid and flower girl! They worked wonders for 6 hours on all the girls and even went above and beyond to make sure my hair piece and veil fit perfectly down to deconstructing and reconstructing my veil comb! Can’t recommend enough!

Excellent experience

Chelsea did the makeup at my sister’s wedding over 5 years ago, but I knew that’s who I wanted when I got married in 2021. She is timely and professional, and her work is fantastic. She listens to what you like, and make changes if needed. She was timely and kept on schedule so there was no rushing on the the big day. My whole bridal party loved her work. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Amazing, would definitely recommend

Chelsea did an amazing job. She was on time and was able to finish everyone’s makeup in a timely matter as well. My makeup lasted all day. Looked just as good 6 hours later after sweating and picture taking. I would definitely recommend her for any event you need your makeup done for!
