Erica did not only 10 women bridal party but also my amazing engagement photo session! She was prompt and so professional! I truly enjoyed our conversation! I would use her over and over again! I honestly wish I could carry her in my back pocket so I can always look as amazing as she made me for my big day!!!

Erica was truly a pleasure to work with. I found her through my hairstylist who had previously worked with her on a photo shoot. I went for a consultation and found Erica to be very professional and pleasant. I showed her a photos of my dress and shared other details about my overall wedding look as well as possible makeup ideas. She executed beautifully and I knew I had found my makeup artist. One thing that stood out to me was that she tested how the makeup would photograph, which is super important especially for wedding photos. The process of actually booking her for the wedding was seamless. She was very responsive and patient even when I had to make some changes. She was very prompt the day of my wedding and did a beautiful job on all of my bridesmaids as well as my mother. Everyone looked gorgeous and said how much they enjoyed working with her. I chose the eight hour service package so she did everyone's makeup for the first look photos preceding the wedding and stayed until the wedding ceremony was over. This was a great option because it allowed everyone to get their makeup touched up after the first look and wedding ceremony. My makeup held up very well even through hours of dancing and I was very pleased with how I looked in the all of the wedding photos. I've never felt more beautiful and Erica definitely contributed to that. I would definitely hire her again for any future events/photoshoots. If you book her you will not be disappointed!

One of the most important parts of your wedding day is feeling and looking beautiful. Erica did just that for me. She's not only very skilled at what she does, but she has amazing energy. It's calming, and as a bride that's what you need. We planned together before my big day, which made things a lot easy for me. I was very pleased with my make up and my bridesmaids looked flawless as well. People are still asking me who did my make up and complimenting me on how beautiful I looked. The makeup wasn't caked on, it had a natural vibe, but it popped in pictures. That takes someone who understands balance. Erica knows what's required for your make up to stand out and to last long. And did I mention, she was fast!!! I had 11 bridesmaids and she handled it all with ease. She's professional and pleasant. If she's available and you don't book with her, you're truly missing out. I'd recommend her to anyone I know.

There were 11 lovely ladies who needed their make up done including myself for my wedding and Erica did each and everyone one of us beautifully. The make up looked flawless in person and even better on camera. She was super friendly and vibed really well with us. It was really like she was a part of the crew. I would recommend using her for your special day and will be sure to use her in the future whenever I need my make up done. If you want to be flawless the day you say "I Do" definitely use her!!

Erica did an amazing job the day of my wedding. She traveled to our venue in Ocean City, New Jersey and did my entire wedding party including my mom in record time! (10 bridesmaids and 1 Mother). She brought an assistant with her to make sure we were ready in time.

She is super down to earth and an amazing makeup artist. I received tons of compliments on my makeup and couldn't have been happier. Do yourself a favor and book Erica asap!

I could not be more happier with my make up on my wedding day. Erica did a amazing job and I literally am still getting compliments 7 months later. She was also able to cover 2 of my tattoos which was great. Erica was so nice and pleasant to me and my entire wedding party, she truly put me at ease. She is super talented and I am so glad I was able to have her be apart of my big day.

Erica did a great job on my wedding day makeup, as well as the makeup for my bridal party. She even traveled to the venue for touch ups seconds before I walked down the isle! She's such a talented positive person. She kept all of us upbeat and excited as we were getting ready for the ceremony. She made me feel and look like a queen ! Thank you Erica You are a MAJOR key.

I had the pleasure of working with Erica for my wedding in October 2015 and she is absolutely amazing. Not only is she extremely talented, she is a pleasure to be around. She got along great with my bridal party/family and everyone was happy with their look. I loved her work so much I used her for corporate headshots a few months later. Any time I need my makeup done she is the person I will call. Brides she is definitely the right choice for your makeup.

Erica was absolutely amazing, there are no words to explain how happy I was with my wedding day makeup. I felt like a total queen, with no worries about if my makeup would hold in the heat, or if it captured well in photos. Erica, was very flexible and accommodating to a very large wedding party. I had 10 people in my bridal party, in which Erica created a schedule of when each person would get their makeup, and never strayed away from her schedule. She flawlessly executed each girls face, in which each of my bridesmaids said that it was the best makeup application that they had received. Not only was Erica great at her craft, but she was very professional and personable. She arrived on time, set up her equipment neatly, and was ready to make my day special for me. We talked a lot while she was doing my makeup, in which she was very approachable, and really took the time to get to know myself and my wedding party. Erica showed an great amount of flexibility. I only hired Erica to do makeup before the ceremony. One of my bridesmaids decided to surprise me and ask her to stay until after the ceremony and be present for photographs during cocktail hour. She did not have to agree, but she did, and boy did I need it on a very hot August afternoon. During photographs, she followed us, and touched me up as needed in between photographs. I totally would recommend her for any wedding, birthday, photograph, or special occasion. I think that I have found my go-to makeup artist. She was amazing, and my wedding pictures can vouch for how talented she is.
