Absolute perfection!

Essie was the absolute best to work with. As soon as she walked in the room it felt like she just belonged with us. I had done my bridal trial with her and she took all my feedback and my makeup for the actual wedding was perfect. I have had professional makeup done before and literally nothing compares. I didn't feel cakey and I still felt very glamorous while still being true to myself. I know my bridesmaids also had very positive remarks about the quality and appearance of their makeup for the day. She is so personable and so much fun to work with, I could not have imagined the day without her and her team. Thank you so much Essie!

I love Essie Cohen!

10000/10 would recommend Essie! Not only did she do an amazing job on everyone, but she was so fun to work with! I truly felt like I was gabbing with a girlfriend while getting ready for my wedding. She made the morning extra fun and enjoyable! She even brought a speaker and had a fire playlist.
