Thank you, Essie!

Essie Cohen is a truly brilliant makeup artist. She immediately puts you at ease, listens closely, and knows exactly how to make you look and feel beautiful. I hired Essie for my November wedding, and she did an outstanding job. She transformed my two bridesmaids, my mother, my mother-in-law, and me into absolute works of art -- while still making sure each of us looked like ourselves.

Throughout the getting-ready process, Essie had my back. She created this calm, protective bubble around me so I could relax, stay centered, and enjoy being pampered. I’m so grateful for her talent, professionalism, and care. I highly, highly recommend her

Everyone absolutely loved their makeup and it held up the entire night! Her service is such a great investment, my makeup photographed beautifully all throughout the day from getting ready shots to the first dance without any touchups. Highly recommend hiring Essie for your wedding or any major event!

Amazing Wedding Makeup!

Essie did my makeup at my brother's Bar Mitzvah years ago, and I knew she was perfect to do my wedding makeup. On my wedding day, I felt beautiful, but I also felt like myself. Essie does an incredible job at giving you your dream wedding makeup while also keeping it natural looking. The women in my family all enjoyed having their makeup done. Essie is also a joy to hang out with on your wedding morning and very organized with keeping on schedule. Highly recommend!
