Absolute perfection

Shimmer and Spice was such a pleasure to work with. From my first email requesting information all the way to after the wedding, they were so lovely, attentive, and kind. They were quick to answer questions, adjust things when I was going back and fourth on the number of people etc. Brianna did an exceptional job with my make up. She made me feel so beautiful and like myself. She was so calming the whole day and had great energy. All of my bridesmaids loved their make up. Brianna came to do touch ups later in the day and was so professional and caring. I can not recommend her and Shimmer and Spice enough!

Loved working with Penelope!

I loved working with Penelope from Shimmer & Spice for my wedding day makeup! Penelope always wanted to ensure that I was comfortable with my look from the trial to the wedding day itself. And I was so thrilled with the results - I truly felt so beautiful and like I looked like myself (but better!), and my bridal party looked incredible too! I love the custom lipstick shade she created for me that I now have as a keepsake and can remember my wedding day every time I wear it. Thank you so much, Penelope and S&S!!

Great Experience!

Very nice/professional company! I had two trials, and my make up artist Dani nailed it on the second trial, incorporating all of my feedback from the first trial. I have been in so many weddings and never liked my make up, so it was nice to have a few trial runs with a makeup artist so they could learn my features. I looked very natural and just like ME which is what I wanted, so I was so happy that for the first time I loved how my make up looked at a wedding!

I used Shimmer and Spice for my wedding in August and had the opportunity to work with Briana. She did an absolutely AMAZING job and made me feel beautiful!! She arrived right on time and stuck to the schedule I had made for the day, she also was extremely accommodating of my medical condition and made sure I was comfortable throughout the day which made me feel so at ease :) cannot recommend Shimmer and Spice enough!

Perfect Soft Glam Makeup

Shimmer and Spice was the best to work with for my wedding. My makeup and the rest of the women's makeup was perfect throughout the day! Penelope was my make up artist. Starting from the trial, she was so personable and made me feel at ease. We discussed how I normally did my makeup, what I liked and what I didn't and came up with the perfect look. When it came time for the wedding, it felt like I was meeting up with a friend to do my makeup. I'm so grateful for Shimmer and Spice for helping me feel beautiful and confident on such an important day.

Thank you Shimmer & Spice!

Briana and Maria did such a beautiful job with natural glam makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and important family members on my wedding day. Briana is the sweetest ever. Working with her was a dream! She nailed my makeup look, it was exactly what I wanted. I asked for a few slight tweaks after my trial, and she was super receptive to my feedback. She made me feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for me. Briana did three generations: me, my mother, and my grandmother. We all looked and felt like the most beautiful version of ourselves! Maria was also super friendly, she did a great job on my bridesmaids and the mother of the groom. I was so pleased with Shimmer & Spice. Their professionalism, communication, and talented makeup artists were exactly what I needed on my wedding day.

Felt so beautiful and natural!

Briana from Shimmerandspice did an amazing job with my wedding makeup. I was nervous about wedding makeup since I hardly wear much makeup at all. Briana listened to all of my concerns and didn’t pressure me into any makeup choices that I didn’t like. I’m very pale with light blonde eyebrows and I was so scared of full glam looks, but Briana created a makeup look that felt true to me and I still felt/looked like myself on my wedding day. The shimmerandspice studio for makeup trials is so cute and clean, and their team is extremely communicative and easy to work with. Briana made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I would recommend her to any bride!
