Amazing!!!

Audra is absolutely amazing!! She is so passionate about her makeup and she made me and my bridesmaids feel like movie stars! I felt so beautiful walking down the aisle. She is a star and I highly recommend! When I get my photos back, I will definitely post some here!

The best for our beach wedding!

Audra did our makeup for my small beach wedding and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! She had great advice, and recommendations! It was a VERY hot day and out makeup didn’t smudge or run. I got so many compliments on my makeup and even my mother in law said she never likes her makeup when others do it, but she loved this! Audra was easy to work with and listened to my concerns after my trial run

Amazing Service

I cannot rave enough about Audra. She was so wonderful to work with! She worked with my many different vendors to make my bridal portraits work and she always has a great attitude. As a ginger, I often worry about makeup artists who will cover my freckles, but Audra knew exactly how to deal with my fair complexion. I highly recommend her!

Natural & flawless

Audra is AMAZING! I previously had two trials prior to Audra (both of which had a TON of amazing reviews on this site). I was so disheartened by my experiences that I almost decided to do my own makeup. THANKFULLY, my hair stylist convinced me to give Audra a try.

I was an out of town bride so we had our first meeting over the phone. She put me at ease an I instantly fell in love with her personality. The day of my trial she came to my mother-in laws house totally prepared. My makeup looked AMAZING! And I could not wait to use her for my big day.

Audra is also SUPER reliable! There was a hurricane the night before my big day and several roads were closed due to downed trees. She even arrived at the venue prior to me. She called and told me there was a tree down blocking the entire road, however, there was a driveway we could use to get around it.

Everyone LOVED their makeup. Myself, my 2 bridesmaids, both Moms and my sister in-law were stunned how beautiful they looked. My mother in law still talks about how gorgeous she felt that day. All of us have said if there is ever another event we need our makeup done for Audra is our girl!

Audra was extremely friendly,professional, and flexible. We had a party of 10 and she made everyone look absolute stunning. I would definitely recommend Audra to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist for any event.

I found out about Audra after seeing her work at a friend's wedding. She is so great to work with and her prices are very reasonable compared to other make up artists in the area. I am very happy with the finished results. My whole wedding party looked great!

I hired Audra for my wedding after looking at her Facebook page, and she could not have been more amazing. The Wednesday before my wedding, I woke up with a HORRIBLE nose sore. Audra assured me via text not to worry about it, and that we would cover it up. The day of, you would have never known I had it!! It does not show in any pictures. It wasn't just covering the sore that Audra was concerned with, either. With every dab she put on to cover it, she continually checked to make sure it was not hurting me or felt uncomfortable.

I am extremely non confrontational, so I was worried that if I did not like my make up, it would be hard for me to speak up. Audra is so down to earth and let's it be known that she is there to make YOU happy, and I quickly knew that I would have no problem telling her if I did not like something. I didn't end up having to speak up, because I loved every decision that she made. When we met up for the first time, she was so great about asking questions about me and about choices I made for the wedding - so that she could get a deeper understanding of who I am and what sort of makeup would match the tone of the entire wedding. She was quick to respond to any emails and texts, and was prompt in updating/sending contract items. My bridesmaids and I got ready at a hotel located in a busy city. On a day where you are receiving texts/calls with questions from all sorts of sources, Audra was SOOOO self sufficient (parking, unloading, getting up to the room, etc). I didn't know how important this would be to me until the day of, but you can really tell she has experience working weddings because she was so professional and made my day that much easier!! She worked very well with the hair stylist as well. She did an amazing job air brushing each bridesmaid, and included lashes in the price! A price that I already saw as unbeatable, especially given the quality of her work. She sent me with am ENTIRE lipstick for the rest of the night.

Audra was wonderful! She even texted me every now and then just to see how everything was going. An eye for not only make up but the whole picture of the day. A dream to work with.

I've known Audra for a very long time. I've always envied her make-up skills, and have even had her do mine once upon a time. Even with me being nervous about someone putting makeup on my face, she did a beautiful job and it lasted throughout the day and late into that night. If you're concerned about your makeup looking perfect - Audra is your go-to lady!!
