    Fantastic people and very professional.

    Michael and Jenny were awesome! They are easy to get along with and will make your experience very enjoyable. I hired both for my wedding on November 19th, 2023. My flower girls are under 10 and they handled them excellently. They included them and made them feel just as special as myself and my party did. They are very efficient and managed to finish everyone way before the wedding (my mom, my brother mother in law, grandma in law, maid of honor, two bridesmaids, two flower girls, and myself) (brother and mother in law only had hair done). My wedding was at 6pm, we planned to be done by 5:30, we started at 11am and finished at 4:30. I met Michael in WV for my trial, but had the wedding in Pittsburgh. I have rosacea and he taught me some tricks to help keep my flair ups at bay and was able to work with it the day of the wedding. I did not have a traditional wedding so I was happy that Michael had some unconventional colors to play with that worked wonderfully with my black dress and green veil. In WV, I can’t find anyone that is great with curly hair, but Jenny was awesome! I’m so thankful that I found them when I did because they made my day special.

    Top-notch hair and makeup services.

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Blake Artistry for my son's wedding. The level of skill, creativity, and professionalism that they brought to the table was truly exceptional. Not only did they listen carefully to my preferences and vision, but they also added their own expertise and artistic flair to create a look that exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and passion for their craft was evident in the final result. I left feeling beautiful and confident. I would highly recommend this talented team to anyone looking for top-notch hair and makeup services. Thank you for making me look and feel amazing!"

    It was almost almost a nightmare….

    Michael turned my wedding day woes into a fairytale. Despite dress mishaps and missing attendants, Michael’s presence transformed everything. His warmth and talent made me feel like royalty, instilling a confidence I never knew I had. The airbrush makeup he crafted for me and the three bridesmaids who made it was flawless—absolutely stunning!

    Michael wasn’t just a makeup artist; he was the shining star of my day, second only to my wonderful wife. His professionalism, warmth, and skill made all the difference. I’ve already recommended him to two friends eagerly awaiting their weddings next year! Can’t wait to work with him again in April! Thank you for everything!

    Don't miss out call them now!

    Michael from Blake Artistry is an absolute gem in the world of makeup. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions, styles, and skin tones, and he navigated it all with sheer brilliance. His talent, adaptability, and genuine passion for his craft were beyond compare.

    We had an incredibly diverse group with varying skin tones, styles, and skin types, and Michael didn't just meet our expectations; he exceeded them in every possible way. From very fair to very dark, from dry to oily skin, and from natural to dramatic styles, Michael was a magician who knew exactly how to bring out the best in each of us.

    His ability to listen attentively to our desires while offering expert suggestions showcased his professionalism and mastery. Michael didn't just apply makeup; he painted confidence on our faces. His attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every stroke of his brush was purposeful and enhancing.

    The true testament to Michael's skill came when my husband saw me. His tears of joy and the speechless expression on his face said it all – Michael had not just transformed my appearance but had captured the essence of our love and happiness in his art.

    Michael's warmth and calming presence were a godsend on a day filled with nerves and excitement. He not only made us look stunning but also helped create an atmosphere of comfort and ease, making the entire experience unforgettable.

    To say that we loved Michael's work is an understatement. He didn't just make us beautiful; he made us feel seen, confident, and utterly radiant. His talent is unmatched, and his dedication to his craft is truly awe-inspiring.

    Thank you, Michael, from the depths of our hearts, for making our day more magical than we ever imagined. Blake Artistry is truly fortunate to have a talent like you

    Love this vendor!

    Michael made this whole experience very easy! I was really unsure about having help with my hair and my makeup for my wedding, now it is impossible to imagine not having Blake Artistry at my wedding.
    I really felt heard. Michael asked a lot of questions about my skin, my wedding plans, my wedding dress, my normal makeup and my vision of my look for my wedding. He talked to me through every step of the process and explained why he was going what he was doing. When he showed me my look it was exactly what I wanted! It is like he could read my mind.
    Jenny, took my inspiration photo and a half hour later my hair looked exactly like the photo. I looked like I had so much more hair than I really do. She had me laughing the entire time of the practice.
    They were early to my wedding and made the party. They are both so much fun, and yet so professional. Everyone loved them and we all received so many compliments on our makeup and hair. My hair and makeup lasted all day, and the makeup lasted through all my tears. I didn't even have to retouch my lips in 16 hours!
    I really hope that everyone chooses them. You won't regret it, and they won't break the bank.

    Very Easy to Work With

    Blake Artistry is the best. Michael was very responsive to all of my messages and answered all my questions within minutes of texting him.

    He asked a lot of questions and I really felt like he got to know me, and what I wanted. He made sure I understood how makeup works with flash photography and my photos turned out great! Also, I really felt like myself on my wedding day, not a painted caricature of me. The makeup was so light, I forgot I was wearing it, and yet, my oily skin did not affect it.

    He is so sweet. Everyone in my party loved Michael and his stylist Jenny is amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married that likes a natural look.

    WAY above and beyond! Amazing!

    WAY ABOVE and BEYOND!

    I want to say first off, Michael should be sainted. I'm a very particular person, and the little old ladies at the Hindu Temple can be very controlling.

    I think Michael would do just about anything for anyone. He was VERY flexible and accommodating even though we didn't make it easy on him.
    We had our wedding in Pittsburgh for our families even though we live in D.C. Michael offered to come to D.C. for the practice but I just could not ask him to do that. He moved his schedule around for the night of the rehearsal for my practice. Although I had only half of the time he asked for he managed to do my practice and then change my makeup for the rehearsal dinner for free.
    My husband forgot his saffron colored tie, and Michael could tell I was stressed over this. Without asking he drove from the practice to Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Sak's Off 5th to look for a tie. He took pictures and sent them to me. As it turns out, that color was out of season, but I have no doubt Michael would have purchased the tie and brought it to us for the rehearsal.

    The day of the wedding we all looked gorgeous and felt like we had nothing on. The makeup lasted all day and night in the rain and humidity.

    The women at the Hindu Temple harassed Michael. He never grumbled, he just smiled and changed whatever they thought should be changed with my makeup. (I don't know why I let them bully me out of the look I wanted for my wedding, but I did). He managed to get everyone done on time for my wedding despite my makeup taking three times as long as he scheduled due to all of the unnecessary changes.

    The wedding started before Michael could sanitize everything and leave. He stayed in the ready room until after the ceremony so as not to interrupt.

    I can not say enough how wonderful he was and how much he did above and beyond what any other makeup artist would have done.

    We all really loved him and hope to have him do anniversary and family photos in the years ahead.

    If you want to truly kind, sincere, helpful a makeup artist, you will never beat Michael at Blake Artistry

    Absolutley amazing!

    Wow! I have sever social anxiety and I was very nervous about hiring anyone for makeup and hair. They made the whole process so easy! Lots of fun, in a very calming way. And the results were superb! Astounding!

    Michael and Jenny really listened to me. They asked a lot of questions and really go to know me. Then they made recommendations based on the what I wanted and what I needed for the photos.

    Michael and Jenny worked so well with all of my wedding party and even the grandmother's (who were dubious about a man doing their makeup) wound up loving them. Michael gave them skincare and makeup suggestions and now they want hin to go shopping with them.

    The hair was exactly what I wanted and lasted all day without the curls falling out.

    When it came time for the ceremony, I had a panic attack. My whole family and party were already in the ceremony. Michael held my hand (literally) and walked me to the aisle telling me jokes and keeping my mind occupied so I could make it down thd aisle.

    I'm so thankful for both of them. They made my wedding day.

    I highly recommend!

    Amazing hire him

    Michael was incredibly prompt. He worked very well with me not being a makeup person. He explained what he was doing and why. He helped me feel comfortable with the whole process. He made me so beautiful I could hardly believe it was me. He didn’t load up the make up he brought out my natural features. My girls who love make up and glam. He did them up extra and they were beautiful glam princesses. They were so excited I can’t tell you the amount of selfies and tic toc transition that were done. No matter what you are looking for Michael can make it happen.

    Outstanding

    Highly recommended, if I lived here they would be the only ones I would go to for my hair and make-up. The atmosphere was that of friends. They where amazing. Thank you for making the morning of my wedding start off with so much fun.
    I don't wear make-up and was worried about feeling like I was wearing a mask, but I honestly felt like I had just washed my face, the makeup was so light looked amazing. My Bridal party where so happy and felt like we had made two more friends.
    Jenny was amazing our hair was on point and helping us get ready was more than we could have ask for.
    Thank you from Toni, Melissia,Jess, Ariel and Little Amelia

    Wonderful experience

    This was my first time having my makeup done professionally, and let me tell you, he knocked it out of the park! Air brushed everyone's makeup, took the time to get to know us as he was doing the makeup to see what kind of personalities we all had so our makeup would be fitting to us not just color wise. Unbelievably kind, funny, and made everyone feel so relaxed amongst the craziness of a wedding morning. I can't recommend Blake Artistry enough!

    Best Wedding Makeup Ever

    Best wedding makeup ever! Chet was amazing throughout the whole process- from answering all of my questions to helping my mom and I with makeup trials to the wedding day. He did the makeup for myself, my 6 bridesmaids, my mom, my sister, and a friend- and we all looked amazing and still like ourselves. I have never felt prettier in my whole life! And on top of that, he was extremely nice and caring- I was getting pretty emotional by the time I had my makeup done that morning and by the time I was finished in the makeup chair, I felt calm and totally at east. He had me laughing the whole time. He also had a wonderful assistant, Celeste, and she was amazing too! I can't recommend them highly enough!

    Chet is THE BEST. He and his team did makeup for my wedding for about 8 or 9 of us, and each one was absolutely stunning. Chet is super responsive, talented, professional, and as a bonus, has the most awesome sense of humor. He helped all of us feel totally comfortable and at ease. Chet was amazing at talking me through the whole process and helping me decide the right look for my day. He even managed to somehow coordinate the color palette with colors in my dress! Chet is seriously that creative and detail-oriented. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and it clearly comes through. I felt like a total babe after he finished my makeup, which is how a bride should feel, right? Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me feel like a glam goddess on my wedding day!

    Chet is AMAZING!!!! My wife and I both had different approaches. My wife knew exactly the look she wanted, and he delivered. I on the other hand, had no clue, so I left it up to his choice. My only specific request was to address a physical personal defect and he completely delivered. He was so easy to talk to. When the big day arrived, we knew we had nothing to worry about with our make-up. It lasted hours, and our pictures were lovely!!

    Made to feel comfortable from the start. What an amazing, professional. We didn’t get it quite right at rehearsal and right away noticed that it was’t right. My makeup lasted for the wedding all day — natural and beautiful. I can’t say enough about Michael. He was absolutely wonderful. You’ll get no better make up artist in Pittsburgh.

    Chet was an absolute professional and so flexible in helping make a very stressful time enjoyable. I am very low key on makeup, never had it professionally done and Chet was able to make me feel beautiful while still feeling like myself. I would HIGHLY recommend him to all my friends, and super reasonable in price. Your wedding party will love him and fun too. Chet is THE best!

    Michael Shoemaker did my makeup for my wedding in September! He was such a dream to work with, explained everything he was doing, had a HUGE collection of products and he and i had great conversation and he made me look the best I ever have!! I couldn't recommend him enough, my only regret is that he couldn't stay and spend the day with us!! 5/5 would definitely hire again!

    Chet did an awesome job with our wedding! Also with making us look great but not over-done, he was prompt and professional. I am typically fairly minimal with my make up, and Chet listened to my fears of not "looking like myself". I ended up looking like me, just better!

    Michael was absolutely amazing to have as a part of my wedding day! From my initial email conversations with him about my wedding, I just knew having I'm there was perfect. He was incredibly flexible when it came to booking my practice application. I am originally from Pittsburgh but live in Maryland now, so we had to fit in a time that worked for both of us. Michael is very fun to be around and he is incredibly professional. My photographer actually got pictures of him doing my makeup and you can just see how relaxed everyone is! His gift with being able to create magic using makeup is phenomenal. My makeup lasted all day!! Through crying, dinner, and dancing. My bridal party had nothing but great things to say about how their makeup lasted as well. My mother in law actually was wishing the following day that she could do her makeup similar to how it was for the wedding.

    Having Michael as a part of my wedding day was one of the best decisions of vendors I had made! I have recommended him to some of my girlfriends that are planning their weddings right now!

    As a fitness competitor and performer, I have to look my best on stage. Having stage/dramatic makeup look is a must for an overall physique presentation. The moment I was referred to Blake Artistry, Michael responded right away. He made my overall preparation easy for me. He is very personable and when I met him, face/face, it was like meeting up with an old friend for coffee. He did an excellent job and, as a result, I won my competition with overall win and physique presentation. He was able to match my makeup to my suit colors and skin type. He also went shopping for me and purchased make up that I was interested in for future touch ups. His prices are very reasonable. My overall experience with Blake Artistry was amazing.

    Chet is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about hiring a professional to do my make-up, but I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day once my make-up was done! Chet came to me for both my trial-run and the actual wedding day and was SO accommodating and genuinely happy both times. I loved the entire experience, and I can't wait to have him do my make-up again as a bridesmaid in a few months!

    We recently worked with Michael for a wedding, and the experience was wonderful. He took his time with each girl, and it was amazing to see everything come together on each bridesmaid. We wanted to get ready together without the stress and pressure of doing our own makeup, but were nervous because we didn't have time for a trial. Michael worked magic with us and we'd never looked better. He truly is an artist. Plus, he was able to recommend someone for hair as well, and he and the stylist took care of 4 girls in about 4 hours.

    Michael was absolutely AMAZING! My husband got orders to deploy so we had to move our wedding up 8 months than when we originally planning on having it. Michael came to our house to get my four bridesmaids and I looking so amazing. As each girl got down from the stool, my breath was taken away!! They looked absolutely gorgeous!! I did not do a trial run and honestly, I didn't have to! The work Michael did was out of this world amazing. He was friendly and very professional. He listened to what we wanted and applied our makeup in a way that we were all comfortable with. I highly recommend Michael for your wedding and I will be re-using him next summer when we finally get to have our reception.

    My experience with Blake Artistry for my wedding makeup was incredible! I don't know much about makeup and Chet was patient, lovely, and understanding when helping me figure out the look I wanted. We experimented during our trial and he made me feel gorgeous. On my wedding day, we had so much fun! Chet was also able to do the makeup for one of my bridesmaids who decided at the last minute after she saw how awesome he was. A recommend Blake Artistry wholeheartedly to anybody looking for a true professional who takes your occasion seriously but still has fun and makes you beautiful!

    I used Blake Artistry last year when I competed in the Pittsburgh Masters. My makeup last the entire day. I needed makeup that looked good on stage and photographed will. It exceeded my expectations. So when I decided to compete in the Master this year, I immediately called Blake Artistry to do my makeup again. The service is great. He's so much fun to be around, and creates such a comfortable environment. It's like hanging out with a friend. I'm sure I'll be seeing him again when I compete in Pittsburgh in 2016.

    Michael is absolutely the best of the best. He knows exactly how to make each woman look stunning and is so helpful and open to feedback. He took the look I requested and pulled it off flawlessly. I have never felt so beautiful. I asked for bright red lips, that was the one thing I knew I wanted and he combined a bunch of colors to give me the absolutely perfect look. And each of my bridesmaids and my mother, all with very different skin tones, looked gorgeous!

    Michael is also just the nicest person you could ask for to do your makeup. He is fun and funny. Explains exactly what he is doing. Gives you a full overview of all the makeup he used so you can go buy it if you love it. And he even gives you the box for the eyelashes if you want to use them again. He is so thoughtful, flexible and organized. I don't think you could find a better makeup artist in Pittsburgh.

    Chet Michael with Blake Artistry was my makeup artist for my wedding. He did such a great job on such short notice. I needed a makeup artist a week before the wedding and he was available. He even made time to do a try-on with me within that week of my wedding. He was very nice and professional. I loved the way he did my makeup!!

    We worked with Chet. He was absolutely AMAZING! Friendly, personable, professional, and just wonderful! I have acne issues and after he was done with my airbrush makeup I could have cried, no one could tell I even have acne! My husband had no words for me as I approached him on the alter, literally left him speechless! My makeup was PERFECT!

    Chet Michael was a dream to work with. So accommodating and communicative, and made me and the bridesmaids feel and look beautiful on my big day! I told him I didn't want any crazy makeup, I just wanted to look like myself on my best day (with maybe some extra lashes thrown in for good measure)! It rained cats and dogs on our day, so he worked in a little extra setting spray which helped everything stay put all night, and even let me take the lipstick from his kit for reapplication purposes. Just a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend!

    Michael was my makeup artist for my wedding day. He was punctual, professional, and did absolutely stunning work. He applied makeup on eyes, as well as full face for myself, my mother, and several bridesmaids. Not only was the work flawless, but the prices couldn't be beat. On top of it all, Michael's attitude and energy made our time with him enjoyable and memorable. Thanks again to Blake Artistry - you will come highly recommended!

    I can't tell you how grateful I am that I found Blake Artistry for my wedding make-up! Chet Michael did such a fantastic job on everyone! They were so on time and really just helped make everything go so smooth. He is also very detailed and has such knowledge he knows exactly what to use for all different looks/styles/skin types. And after he emailed me the cutest portfolio with some pictures he had taken and it was so nice. I would recommend him to everyone!! Thank you again Chet for making my day beautiful in every way!

    Michael was extremely intuitive and personable. He has a keen sense of what works best with a persons comfort level almost instantly. Nothing too over the top or understated. He keeps the atmosphere light and fun while still remaining an utmost professional. I would definitely refer him to all friends and colleagues for an event they want to look their absolute best for and will be revisiting with him for a friends wedding in June.
