An amazing makeup artist and person - highly recommend Sandy!

Sandy is an absolutely incredible makeup artist. She exceeded every one of my expectations and made me feel incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. She was one of my favorite vendors to work with! Her expertise and professionalism were clear from the onset. It’s also worth mentioning that I didn’t have a formal bridal party, so it was really difficult to find someone to do makeup just for me, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Sandy traveled to the venue to do makeup just for the three of us. Not only is Sandy’s work amazing, she is fun to talk to and clearly just an all around really lovely person. I highly recommend working with her!

Exquisite artistry and an absolute pleasure to work with!!!!

From our first contact, Sandy was terrific. She is a consummate professional, but also an incredibly lovely human being. I am so grateful that my bridesmaids and I worked with her. As an older bride (I'm 61!) and someone who doesn't generally wear a lot of makeup, I was a bit anxious about whether I even wanted to hire someone to do this work for me. I'm so very glad that I chose Sandy--and the women in my wedding party adored her too. She made all of us look and feel absolutely gorgeous. We haven't gotten official photos back yet (I will add shots when we have them) but even the spontaneous snaps are beautiful. She is mature, insightful, a lovely presence and did an exquisite job. Hire her with confidence!
