Michelle's work speaks for itself. She makes you look and feel like an elevated version of yourself. I felt beautiful without feeling overdone. I couldn't have been happier with how my makeup and my family & wedding party looked that day. LOVE!

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 is truly the best!!! After a couple of unsuccessful trials, I was so happy to find Michelle. She knows exactly how to make you feel like the best (and most natural) version of yourself. Michelle is incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with! Extra added bonus: she takes a million pictures and videos throughout the day! I can't recommend her enough!
