Erika did my makeup, along with my bridesmaids and mom, for my wedding on 6/1/24. Everyone looked amazing! It was a warm day and everyone’s makeup stayed flawless through pictures in the sun and dancing all night on the dance floor. Erika even came by the venue to make sure everyone’s look was perfect. I would recommend her for any wedding!

My husband and I got married at Soundview Caterers on Saturday 4/20/24 and Erika Jansen did the makeup for our bridal party. Erika was AMAZING!! In all of our planning leading up to the event, Erika put me at ease. There were many changes that occurred throughout the past few months, and Erika worked with me through them all. She & her team took care of me, my bridesmaids and my mother, as well as my mother-in-law & gave us EXACTLY what we needed to feel extra beautiful for the special day. I also love how good she was with the children- offering them a “fairy-dusting” which they were very excited about :-)

It was nice being able to have all the space that is available in the Salon area at Viana Hotel and Spa - we had room for a lovely breakfast spread (complete with mimosas :-)) while comfortably getting our hair and makeup done, and enough of a seating area to comfortably wait/ rotate chairs for makeup and hair. Erika did her best to ensure that we stayed focused on task and try to keep with our schedule!

I must mention how Erika did go ABOVE and BEYOND anything that I could have asked or expected- I’m so happy that we added the option of touch-ups, where she would meet us at the wedding venue to make sure we all looked good before the ceremony- while we were out taking off-site photos before the ceremony, we realized that we had not taken the ceremony items with us! I got in touch with Erika & she arranged to grab all of the items from my friend back at the hotel & she arrived at the venue before we did- all set up to immediately touch up our makeup - & with all the ceremony items on hand.

We will be eternally grateful. Erika is a visionary, attentive to detail, passionate, well-prepared, and fiercely protective of your vision for your special day! I highly recommend the services provided by her & her team of hair and makeup artists at the Viana Hotel & Spa.

Erika made it fun, easy and made everyone look stunning!!! It was an amazing experience with Erika!!!

Where do I begin? From the very start, Erika was amazing. Very easy to work with, always available whenever I needed her, very flexible and understanding even when I changed my mind last minute about the make up. My self and the bridal party looked absolutely stunning thanks to her and Eva (the hair stylist). I love Erika. She was very energetic and funny even though we had to start at 5am. We stayed at Viana Hotel & Spa and it was very convenient to get ready there. Everything was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. ❤

Erika is a TRUE ARTIST! Erika provided the makeup for my wedding on October 9, 2021, for myself and my bridesmaids. Erika was such a pleasure to work with and really listened and understood the looks that we were all going for. Everyone in the bridal party looked STUNNING and she was such a pleasure to be around and spend the morning with during our getting ready process. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Erika for makeup styling for any events!!

If you’re looking for the BEST of the BEST for wedding/event makeup, look no further than Erika. I was planning my wedding remotely, living in Florida with my venue on Long Island. Covid mixed with the difficulties of not knowing the area made planning extra difficult. After hours upon hours of searching online (Google, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.) for a makeup artist for my wedding, I decided to reach out to the hotel we booked in Woodbury, New York (The Viana Hotel and Spa) for a referral. They put me in touch with Erika and for this I’m so lucky. The second I spoke to her and looked at her work online, I had a strong feeling that she was my girl. I could tell that she immediately got me and my vision. Little did I know at this early point that not only would Erica turn out to be the #1 most helpful person planning my wedding, make me look more beautiful than ever before, but that she would turn into a lifelong friend.

Hiring Erica was EVERYTHING and more than I could ever have imagined. I couldn’t believe when she told me that she coincidentally worked out of both Long Island and Delray Beach, Florida - so close to where I live - and offered to fly here to do my makeup trial since I wasn’t going to be in New York prior to my wedding. It was truly meant to be. When we met, we hit it off, and as expected, she captured my vision to the T. I was so excited that I found such a talented artist for my big day. Even more incredible was that for the next 8 months she held my hand with my wedding planning…suggesting local vendors, making phone calls to her local contacts when I was in need of certain wedding planning things (rehearsal dinner venues, limo companies, etc.) and was always 150% right there when I had a question about the area, logistics, etc. She was so incredibly thoughtful and always went above, beyond and seriously out of her way to help me, purely out of the graciousness of her heart. She truly was my lifeline in planning my out of state wedding and I will be forever grateful.

On my wedding weekend, she made everything perfect. She made me look so beautiful for my rehearsal dinner and just like in our trial, on my wedding day, she captured my vision perfectly. It wasn’t an easy feat as I was looking for a done up yet natural, soft, classy look - but Erica handles everything with ease and there’s nothing too difficult for such a talented artist. My husband loves me without makeup so he was worried that I’d look too done up and over the top but he loved my makeup just as much as I did! She made my bridesmaids look so beautiful as well.

Erica is a true rare gem and by far the most talented makeup artist in the New York City/Long Island/South Florida area. On top this, she’s an incredible listener, planner, implementer and such an amazing person.

If you’re able to book her as your makeup artist for your wedding or event, consider yourself extremely lucky. You will absolutely be blown away.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything, Erica. You deserve 1 Trillion Stars!!!

My experience with Erika was above and beyond from day one. She was so lovely to sit and talk with. She listened my vision and made it come to life. She made me feel like a princess on the day of my wedding. She even showed up at the venue for a touch up when she didn’t have to. I want to thank her for taking those extra steps to make my day that much better. Oh and last but not least the makeup she applied on my girls and I looked fabulous!

When choosing a bridal makeup artist, I looked for someone with experience with Asian clients and someone whose personality and energy I would want with me on my biggest day to date. Erika was the perfect choice. What spoke to me was her understanding of my vision to enhance beauty and not just transform my look. I don't normally wear makeup so it was important to me that when my groom sees me, or when we look back at our wedding pictures, that he sees an elevated me and the first thought is not - wow that's a lot of makeup.
There are a lot of details to consider when being among the first to have a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic and Erika was thoughtful about social distancing work stations for my bridal party and me in the Viana Hotel and Spa salon. She wore a mask the whole time and my girls and I only took our mask off when she worked on the lower face. Her practices were hygienic - including clean brushes between clients, single use mascara wands, and option for her to use our own brushes from home if we felt uncomfortable.
In the moments leading up to your wedding you want Erika who is kind, sensitive, and can help diffuse stress. Erika cares about her brides - she was the only vendor who sent me a text that she was thinking of me on the day of my original wedding prior to COVID 19 pandemic postponment, she sent another text to cheer me on the night before the wedding, and during the morning of the wedding when there was unanticipated drama she had the right words to turn down my panic level.
I liked that Erika was always approachable, like a friend you could always text. And I could see the extra effort she takes, for example staying at the hotel the night before so there will be no issues with setting everything up bright and early.
I am so pleased with her work and how personal the experience felt and definitely recommend her for your big day!

Finding a makeup artist can definitely be one of the hardest things especially for your wedding day because it’s one the most important things to check off your list. The second I met Erika I just knew she was the real deal. I’m pretty particular about how my makeup is done being a competitive dance coach and having applied makeup to 100’s of my students, but for some reason when I sat in her chair for my wedding makeup trial I gave her complete control and told her to do what she thought would look the best. The trust she brings forth to her clients is unreal. It is calming and indescribable. She communicates with you, learns about you, definitely makes you laugh, and she takes the time and effort with all her love into making you feel and look absolutely beautiful. She is talented and real and those are hard qualities to find in a makeup artist. There is no question Erika made me look and feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. The attention to detail she has is inspiring. She also made my bridal party feel and look exactly how I did and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Her amazing personality shines through in the amazing work she does and you can tell her passion for makeup is like no one else. I highly recommend her to other and and all LI brides. I can promise you you will not be disappointed. Thank you Erika for turning me into the princess I wanted to be for my special day!!! Grateful for your professionalism but above all the love you have for your clients. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being everything I could have dreamed of and more!!!

Erika is amazing. She is talented, listens to the clients' ideas and comfort levels, and she is so much fun! She had me, my mom and my girls laughing in the morning getting ready! I had a variety of girls' styles, some were used to wearing lots of makeup and some preferred it more light and Erika and her assistant adjusted to make everyone happy. I in particular have naturally thin eyebrows - always have, I've never waxed or threaded or anything, that's just what I'm stuck with. So I don't actually like big drawn on eyebrows because it changes me completely. Erika was reluctant since shaped eyebrows are the style now, but she listened to me and mixed colors to match my hair and she truly made me look and feel beautiful. Erika checked different lighting and different cell phone pictures to make sure that nothing photographed funny later when my guests would use their own devices. My makeup lasted through the day, into the evening and through my food truck hotel after party. I cannot say more good things about Erika and her work, I totally recommend calling her!
