Gorgeous wedding makeup and the best makeup artist!!!

I absolutely LOVED my wedding makeup done by Elaine at Mayed Up!! I felt so beautiful and glammed up for my wedding day, while still feeling like myself. Elaine is a masterful makeup artist who enhances your natural beauty, and she is also soooo sweet, fun, and cool. She did an amazing job on me, my mom, and my bridesmaids, and I definitely got compliments on my wedding makeup specifically!! Her communication before, during, and even after the wedding was on point, and she was very accommodating and flexible the day of. Overall, I think Elaine is incredible and would absolutely highly recommend her for your wedding!!

Elaine is the best

I don’t even know where to begin with Elaine. I feel so lucky to have found Mayed Up for my wedding day.

When I had my trial with Elaine, she helped me figure out what would look best for me and made fantastic recommendations. During my trial, the mink lash selection she had was great, but she could tell they weren’t THE ONES. For the wedding day, she went out and found the perfect lashes that was the exact look I didn’t even know I wanted.

On the day of the wedding, the entire process was stress-free and relaxing with Elaine. I got so many compliments on my makeup the whole night. My entire bridal party was being asked on IG who the MUA was so they could recommend them to other brides. My maid of honor texted me the next morning, “You need to text your hair ppl because they really ****ing killed it. I did not see a single fallen curl.”

I can’t recommend Elaine enough. I am looking for an excuse to throw an event where I need a MUA so I can work with her again. Don’t hesitate to book Mayed Up for your wedding.

Lovely to Work With!

Elaine was amazing to work with! From the start, it was so easy to talk to her and set up a bride hair and makeup trial in Abington. Out of all the makeup vendors I had consulted, Elaine's attention to detail and recommendations during the trial really stood out. She really made me feel absolutely beautiful and glamorous like a bride should, while still keeping my makeup light enough so I still felt like me and did not irritate my sensitive/dry/eczema skin. Additionally, Elaine did a wonderful job working with the giant jewel hairpiece I had picked, arranging it in a beautiful way while still keeping it affixed to my head (not an easy task!). It absolutely poured on us on our wedding day and was relatively humid for a spring day, but my hair and makeup stood the test! Plus, Elaine was kind enough to provide a little touch up kit just in case. With regard to the planning part of the process, Elaine clearly communicated a framework for a schedule, what to expect on the day of, and how my bridal party should prep before the services far in advance. Most importantly to me, she made the girls in my bridal party (bridesmaids, junior bridesmaid, and flower girl) feel comfortable and beautiful, listening to their feedback and providing them the same kindness and attention. It was such a relaxing way to start the morning before the chaos of the wedding day unfolded. I really thank Elaine and Alayna for all their help and support to make everyone feel their best on such a special day.

Worth every penny

Elaine is absolutely amazing to worth with. She captured exactly what I wanted for my wedding & her work is absolutely FLAWLESS. I got married in the worst heatwave this summer and my make up didn't budge. Her timing is impeccable as well (she started on-time and finished on-time too!) If you're unsure if she's worth it, don't - SHE IS!

Amazing makeup artist and sweetest person!

Elaine is truly amazing at what she does!!! When I went for my bridal makeup trial, she was extremely detail oriented and asked me questions about my skin type, what products I typically use, what shade of concealer/foundation I typically use in order to get a better sense of what I was comfortable with. For the wedding, she was able to create the exact natural yet enhanced look I was going for!! I was amazed by how beautiful everything looked while still feeling like myself! All of my bridesmaids were also so happy with their makeup. Elaine as a person is so bubbly and positive that she is a joy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist!!

HIGHLY recommend!! Truly the best decision!!

Elaine is such a talented makeup artist and hair stylist, and I was SO happy she was there on my wedding day. Throughout the entire planning process, she was very responsive and helpful in answering all my questions. She was truly such a delight to work with, all the way up to the wedding day - she had me and my entire bridal party laughing in the morning (Elaine is so personable, and hilarious), and was also such a professional when it came to making sure we were all ready on time, yet could still have fun in the process. She made me feel so comfortable while getting ready (which was difficult to do)! I absolutely loved how she did my hair and makeup, and would recommend her to anyone!

Wonderfully Amazing

Elaine is fabulous. Her cosmetology skills are off the chart. She is very sweet, conscientious, professional and just wonderfully amazing. She was very easy to get in touch with and flexible. Our event was on the Fourth of July and she didn’t have any problem with the date. She was all set up and ready to go when we arrived. Everyone was comfortable with her and loved how they looked when she was done. We all got a lot of compliments due to Elaines work.

Amazing skill & customer service

Where do I start?? Elaine was nothing but top notch from the minute we began communicating via The Knot. She was always quick to respond, flexible with my crazy schedule for my trial, and was so amazing the day of. Her five star customer service matches her amazing make up skills. It was a bonus that she's an awesome person who is lovely to spend time with. I felt beautiful the day of and my bridesmaids felt the same. I would recommend her to anyone in the Philly area. You will receive 5 star service all around! Thank you Elaine for being one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning!!!
