Superhero MUA Alert
Brenna saved me from an absolute travesty when a routine chemical peel turned ghastly just days before my sister’s wedding. Not only was she patient, kind, and understanding, but she immediately jumped into rescue mode and had an arsenal of tools and remedies armed to transform my scabbed and battered skin, into an actual masterpiece. My makeup turned out stunning, and no one had any idea that I was concealing a disaster. Her talent is not measurable in words, just let her work speak for itself. 11/10. -

Julie T. Sent on 10/18/2023The best bridal hair and makeup experience ever!
Working with Brenna was an absolute dream! Her incredible talent is matched with her incredible professionalism. From the very beginning of the process, through the hair and make up trials, and my wedding day - I cannot say enough amazing things about how beautiful, confident, comfortable, and well taken care of Brenna made me feel. She listened to what I was hoping to personify on my wedding day, and enhanced it with recommendations from her years of industry experience. I was told getting ready on my wedding day would be a whirlwind, and Brenna’s calming presence and confidence in her craft really came through, and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. I felt like myself on my wedding day, while also having an elevated look that I didn’t know was possible. My hair and makeup photographed so beautifully, and everyone was raving about my look in person. Do not hesitate to book! -

Excellent experience! Brenna gave me a natural yet glamorous look that went beyond my expectations..
Brenna created a hair and make-up look for me that was glamorous yet natural. I have sensitive skin and the products she used made my skin glow and lasted the entire evening without irritation. For my hair, we added extensions for volume. My hair kept its curl all night, even after we pulled it back into a ponytail after a wardrobe change and lots of dancing! Brenna positive and calm demeanor made me feel confident and relaxed. I highly recommend her for any special occasion! -

I can’t even truly describe how incredible Brenna is. She was professional, yet easy going, made me feel confident and beautiful while giving me control of my look. She is warm and kind. I got so many compliments my whole day. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any bride. -

From the Mother of the Groom
Brenna did an amazing job with my hair and make up for my son’s destination wedding in Cancun.
Because I don’t typically wear make up I was a bit anxious about how it will make me feel !!
I loved it!! Made me look much younger and I was thrilled it held perfectly until the end of the night. As in the tropics the weather was hot and humid .
I am in my seventies and never felt younger, got so many compliments that I couldn’t asked for a better make up artist! Brenna was able to transform me working her magic on me and the bride and I am thankful for that. -

Brenna did my makeup for my destination wedding in May and was nothing short of amazing to work with from start to finish. She reaches out in advance to get to know you and your personality, preferences, and vision for your big day. I love that she was interested in all of the wedding day details to come up with makeup recommendations (and even hairstyle too) she felt would best compliment everything else while making the bride stand out. We live in different states and met for the first time in Mexico so we didn’t have the opportunity to do a trial, but I felt like I knew her forever when we met and I had no doubt she would do a great job. She was super flexible with timing around everything else going on that day, and made sure my makeup was fresh for the pre-ceremony photos and again for the actual ceremony... which I honestly have no idea how she knew where to come find me. She was very attentive to applying makeup based on info I shared about myself (e.g. I prefer more natural look and sweat a lot which I was worried about being in Mexico). But she also shared what she thinks would be best based on her expertise and I’m glad she did because the pictures were amazing and the makeup lasted all night! Brenna has a very calming go-with-the-flow vibe which is just what you need on your wedding day. She was scheduled to do my makeup and my mother in law’s makeup, but she went way above and beyond in helping make sure the rest of our wedding party felt their best as well... touching up my mom’s hair and my maid of honor’s makeup. I can honestly say having Brenna in the bridal suite with us and doing my makeup kicked off what could have been a stressful day in the best way possible... relaxed and feeling like a million bucks. Thanks so much Brenna! -

My experience with Brenna was everything I could have imagined and more. Not only is she incredibly talented but she has a softness and warm, inviting energy that made us (myself, mom and MIL) feel comfortable and at ease while we were getting our makeup done. I trusted Brenna to create magic and she delivered! Looking forward to working with her again. -

Lana P. Sent on 04/14/2021Say YES to wedding makeup and hair with Brenna
My backyard wedding was during the first peak of Covid, and I found out at the last minute that our picture would be in the NYT wedding announcements. So for many reasons I wanted to look special but was also trying to minimize risk of contact and wanted to find one person who could do my whole look. I am so lucky to have connected with Brenna. She was extremely professional and well-prepared, she had all of the safeguards in place for sanitizing and protective gear, and on top of that she is so talented! And very sweet and easy to work with, too. She did my makeup, hair, and made sure my veil was locked in - and gave me supplies so I could touch up if needed. I got SO MANY compliments on how I looked and was very happy about my decision to get my hair and makeup done and work with Brenna. The whole process helped make my day even more special. -
Ashley Sent on 07/18/2018Brenna is AMAZING! Not only is she talented, professional, super clean, and organized- she is also very sweet, patient, and kind. I was two months out from getting married and most of the details had been sorted out except for makeup and I was starting to get nervous. After a terrifying makeup trial, I went into full panic mode and started casting a wide net. Brenna’s name came to me through word of mouth. She responded quickly to my cries of help and I booked a makeup and hair trial with her. During the test run at my apartment, we candidly discussed the reference images I had emailed her and I found her eye for detail and honesty very reassuring. She is also knowledgeable about skin care and day-of logistics and I was quite pleased with the whole experience.
Brenna and her assistant Michelle (who is also fabulous) showed up right on time the day of my wedding (6/9/18) and they were super fun company. Everything went as scheduled and there was no rushing or panicking from anyone. It was fun to watch the bridal party and moms get beautified as I waited for my turn. Everyone looked like stellar versions of themselves and it was clear that they also felt happy and comfortable in their makeup (which lasted all day with very little touch ups.) As for me, I felt every bit the glamorous bride and I loved how I looked in person and in photos. I used to think makeup was a bit intimidating but Brenna showed me that it can be empowering and fun. She is worth every penny and I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks darling!
