Highly recommend!

Amber and Sarah were amazing to work with! I did a trial and then they came to Newport for the wedding day! I decided kinda late to do a trial and I was so glad I did as it quieted any fears I had! I felt the most beautiful I ever have in my life and my hair and makeup still looked amazing after a whole day of photos and then hours of dancing. We actually ended up ahead of schedule with hair and makeup which helped us get some extra time for photos! I would highly recommend Smudge for any hair/makeup needs!

Fantastic service!

Smudge Makeup was the perfect pick for hair/makeup for our wedding! Amber was so responsive and helpful, and brought the right amount of staff for our big wedding party in central MA and on a holiday. We had two brides, 10 bridesmaids, and 2 MOBs, and they did a flawless job with everyone's hair and makeup, as well as staying on schedule. One bridesmaid was added day of for hair and they were so nice and flexible. The makeup and hair were absolutely perfect; I felt like myself but absolutely glamorous and it was the perfect balance. Our hair and makeup both looked amazing all night. Amber and her team were so wonderful and made us feel so beautiful for our big day. Thank you so much!!!
