Absolutely Amazing!

Julie is truly amazing! She is super sweet and very talented. She did my makeup for my wedding and it came out better than I could’ve ever imagined! You will not regret booking with her.

Can't recommend Pittsburgh Makeup enough!

Julie was an absolute gem to work with and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She made sure I still looked like myself, just a more elevated version which is exactly what I was looking for. She is a perfectionist, even during my trial the attention to detail she took was awesome to see. My makeup lasted 16 hours and still looked perfect when I removed it. I highly recommend Julie for your wedding day!

Absolutely the Best!

WOW!...I simply can not be more impressed with Julie at Pittsburgh Makeup. She does an amazing job. From the booking confirmation up to my wedding day she was just great. She was always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. She took her time with each of us, and really listened to what we pictured our makeup being like. Our makeup was absolutely STUNNING. Julie made me feel, and look so beautiful on my wedding day. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist. All the guests kept commenting how much they loved our makeup. She is amazing at what she does!

Amazing job! Wedding 7/31/21

Julie did an amazing job for my wedding on 7/31! I had a situation where my previous make up artist did not work out weeks before my wedding and when emailing different vendors, Julie happened to be open on my wedding date. Herself and Bri did an amazing job with make up for the day of, they showed up 10 mins early on-site at the Oaklander, made the entire make up process seamless, and was super professional. I could not recommend a make up artist more. If you live in the Pittsburgh area and looking for an experienced, professional, on trend make up artist, book Julie you will not regret it!!!

Julie is amazing!

Julie did the makeup for my wedding ceremony in May 2021 and I have nothing but amazing things to say! We already hired her for our reception next year. She is responsive via email - I had so many random questions and she answered honestly and quickly every time. I did a trial with her and loved everything but decided afterwards I wanted slightly more eye makeup - she didn't hesitate and delivered exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. As someone who doesn't wear a ton of makeup day to day, I really wanted someone to enhance my face and not make me look like a different person. Julie does this perfectly - I got so many compliments on my makeup that day and it was all thanks to her! Not to mention, she is so sweet! She made me feel so beautiful on the special day and I can't recommend her enough!

Julie is Amazing!

Julie did my wedding makeup on June 26, 2021. A week later I still can't stop thinking about how beautiful she made me feel and how flawless my makeup was. As an 'older' bride, I wanted to look as natural as possible, but still have a little 'pop' for photos. Julie nailed it! I kept looking in the mirror in awe of her talent. And her beautiful personality makes her a joy to work with. Julie also did our 20 something daughters, and they were drop dead gorgeous! Julie took their youth & beauty and merely enhanced their natural features with a healthy glow. We were walking on air all evening feeling so beautiful. Julie is a Master makeup artist and I truly can't wait to work with her again.

Couldnt have asked for anything more!

Julie and her team were so amazing to work with!!!
OMG - she was SO sweet and able to provide such a customized experience for everyone.

Getting married during COVID was NOT easy! We had issues with the TWO other makeup artists that we tried to hire for the day. Needless to say - I reached out to Julie with 1 month to SPARE. She dropped everything and made it work! We had 13 people to try to accommodate for make-up and everyone looked FLAWLESS!

While I was getting ready, Julie gave me little pep talks and positive vibes! Let me tell you guys - I REALLY needed this. She helped me to relax and focus on how amazing the day would be and she transformed my make-up visions into a reality.

Julie made me feel super comfortable and was so flexible in her work. She asked for feedback along the way so if i ever didn't love something, she could correct it. BUT i can honestly say that I've never felt more beautiful than i did on my Wedding day!!

10/10 would recommend!! LOVED WORKING WITH HER!!

Amazing Service

I highly recommend Julie for any of your wedding make up needs. She is very responsive, flexible and reasonably priced. Julie was on time for my wedding day and came prepared despite all of the COVID craziness. I would work with her again any day :)

Julie is Amazing

There was no question that I would use Julie as my make-up artist on my wedding day. I was in two weddings previously and Julie did the make-up for both. Not only is she extremely nice, but she is amazingly talented. I loved her attention to detail at the trial and on the wedding day. I had a vision and she made it come to life. Julie made me feel my prettiest on the most important day of my life and for that I am forever grateful. I would use her 100 times over!

Wedding makeup perfection!

Having Julie and her assistant do makeup for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, hands down. They were both so nice and fun to work with, and the end results were absolutely stunning. Every look she did was unique and perfectly flattered each one of my girls, while keeping everyone in their comfort zone. She even went down and did a little touch up for the groom, which helped him cover a few blemishes and feel his very best too! On a personal note- I usually never like how I look in photos and was nervous to have my picture taken so many times at my wedding, but Julie's work made me feel beautiful and confident. Thanks to her, I felt amazing on my wedding day and love seeing the photos! I can't recommend Julie and her team strongly enough! Hire her if you want to look and feel amazing on your wedding day!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Julie Marckisotto at Pittsburgh MakeUp is the only make up artist that I recommend to my brides! She is the BEST at what she does and her experience and professionalism are unmatched. We love to walk into the getting ready space on the morning of a wedding and see Julie there with the ladies because we know our bride and her maids are going to look just as flawless at the end of the reception as they will when they leave the make up chair. We trust Julie so much, my sister and I hired her for our own weddings!
