Michelle Stern Beauty

I RAN here to give Michelle Stern a five star review. I am very, very picky about makeup: I rarely wear much of it, but when I do, I want to look and feel like myself. I came across Michelle Stern's Instagram page and thought that every single bride she worked with looked absolutely stunning. Scheduling a trial was easy, and I absolutely loved the look that she worked with me on. I would describe her work as "natural glam" - you look like yourself, but in the best way possible. Michelle and her assistant did makeup for 11 women - bride, 7 bridesmaids, and 3 women in their 60's. Every single person looked fabulous, and my bridal party said how much they loved their makeup. They are true professionals. And Michelle guaranteed me that her assistant (completely necessary for a large group!) would work up to her extremely high standards -- and she did. Lauren was fantastic. I felt so beautiful, and was floating on cloud 9 the entire day. The day of the wedding, Michelle was organized, calming, and fun to be around. She helped the day run smoothly and keep the stress away. Michelle stuck around to give me touch ups after my first look, and then again after the ceremony. In between giving touch ups, she took hundreds of photos and videos for me on her iphone, and I can't tell you how fun it was to wake up the next morning to a full album to start re-living the day right away -- the photographer's work will be wonderful but it's weeks, if not months, away! I also wanted to share that I think she is uniquely skilled at making mothers of the bride look and feel very special. I've seen a lot of photos and seen weddings where the mothers have the wrong makeup for their skin type and their overall vibe -- eg. very dramatic eyes, caked-on foundation -- and Michelle tailored her work very very nicely for the older generation. Her work looked great on our variety of complexions and skin types. Michelle is a premium vendor. There are plenty of other good makeup artists with lower rates. But Michelle brings over a decade of experience, and it shows in her fantastic work, her professionalism, and the ease of communicating and working out details along the way. I can't say enough great things about Michelle Stern Beauty. Michelle, from my family, and my bridal party, and me, THANK YOU for doing an amazing job with our makeup. We absolutely loved you.

Michelle did the makeup for my wedding (myself, my mom and sisters) and did the most amazing job. We could not have been happier!! Michelle really listened to our concerns and made all look gorgeous, glowing and confident. We loved Michelle so much that we had her do a private makeup lesson with us! Would definitely recommend her as a makeup artist and will be using her going forward !!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michelle Stern for my wedding (and all my wedding events!) and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I met Michelle, I knew I was in good hands (literally). From the trial to the wedding day and everything in between, she was incredibly personable and professional, putting me at ease the whole way through. Her confidence in her abilities as a makeup artist is evident in the final outcome, as she was able to bring out the best in me and my bridal party on my wedding day in a perfectly elevated, elegant way.

On the day of the wedding, Michelle went above and beyond to make sure we all looked and felt wonderful. She and her team listened to our individual needs and preferences and created custom looks that suited each of us perfectly. Not only did we all look stunning, but the makeup lasted all day and night, even through all the tears and dancing!

I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a talented and reliable makeup artist. She is a true professional and truly made my special day even more beautiful. Thank you, Michelle! Can't wait to work with you again!
