Kaitlyn Sent on 10/23/2024Great experience!
Kelly and Julia were so easy to work with and a lot of fun on the day of my wedding. They were professional, responsive and knew exactly what I wanted and made it incredibly easy. Can’t recommend them enough! -

Leah Sent on 05/25/2022Highly recommend!!
Kelly from Face the Occasion was fantastic and I'm so happy with my decision to work with her for my wedding day! She did a trial for my mom and I, and she incorporated all of our feedback and made us feel 100% comfortable about wedding day. She did such a beautiful job creating a natural, elevated look for myself and my girls on my wedding day and the makeup lasted the whole night (and into the next morning because I had too much fun to take it off). She is the sweetest and makes you feel at ease in her chair. I highly recommend! -

Garland Sent on 09/03/2013I was told I shouldnt skimp on my hair and makeup, and so I searched for makeup artists that were rated 5 stars. Face the Occasion (FTO), rated five stars and let me tell you, they deserved this and more!
I was fortunate to have Kelly (one of the founders) as my artist for my day of services. She was absolutely talented, but reasonable with prices. She did makeup for myself, 2 bridesmaids, my junior bridesmaid, my aunt and my mom and it was all just under $400. Everyone loved how they looked.
Being the bride, I had a trial with her. Our wedding was held in the Philly area, but I lived in Central Jersey. We corresponded via email on where the best place for me is to have the trial. She was so flexible that she even asked her mother-in-law for us to have the trial at their house! Thanks Kelly!
On the day of the wedding, Kelly brought her notes on what we did on the trial. I originally wanted a very natural look, but when one of my bridesmaids suggested for the photographer to take a picture of me with makeup on, I decided that I wanted more color. Kelly was totally ok with that, and she was happy enough to cater to the changes I had requested. I am very happy with the results, everyone kept telling me how great I looked, haha!
Kelly lives up to FTO's Five star rating. I absolutely recommend, and if you can, ask for Kelly :) -

Amy Sent on 05/21/2013I had talked with a few make-up artists who had an additional fee for just booking the appointment (not a deposit to be applied to the balance, but an additional fee). I found this to be highly unethical, so I was very picky about my choices. I was very happy with Face the Occasion. I originally spoke with Kelly, who was very nice and flexible. She then told me that Jill was going to be available on my date. Jill was fantastic! She was very accommodating with my maid of honor who wanted a specific look. She made us both look beautiful! :-) Even friends from work who saw pictures noted how amazing my make-up looked. And it was fun talking about our Bay Area connections. -

Cristina Sent on 10/07/2012LOVED my makeup! Jill did an awesome job, and I really appreciated her fitting me in last minute when my other makeup artist fell through! She enhanced all my features without making me feel uncomfortable or like a drag queen! She was so sweet and did my mom's makeup last minute at the salon! All my makeup stayed all night through the sweating and the rain. She was great! -

Sharron Sent on 04/18/2012Kelly is an amazing professional and I am so glad she did my makeup. And talk about patient! I am from out of town (live in San Diego) and when I was unable t meet with her during the holidays, she went out of her way to make sure I had a trial prior to the wedding, And then on the day of the wedding, we ended p adding TWO people for makeup and she jumped right in without complaint. And they all looked wonderful. Loved the eyelashes!
As fr as my makeup—WOW. M skin looked flawless. My eyes were huge. And I think she managed to take ten years off—no idea how. Lol And the makeup stayed on all night ad still looked good even after the dancing.
I highly recommend her and Face the Occasion for your wedding day!

Rebecca Sent on 07/19/2011I worked with Jill from Face the Occasion for my wedding day makeup. She also did the makeup on the Mother of the Bride and two bridesmaids. It was very easy to work with Jill. After putting down a deposit, we met for one makeup trial. She was so personable, warm, and friendly…she really put me at ease. The trial was easy and we worked together to tweak some things here and there. She uses the best makeup products and I was impressed with her ability to recommend colors.
On the day of the wedding Jill was ontime (actually she was EARLY, and waiting for us when we arrived). She started makeup and I actually enjoyed having her in the bridal suite. Conversation flowed with all of the ladies and she helped to put nerves at bay. Her work was beautiful – I cannot imagine my wedding day without the makeup artistry she provided. She was easy going and helpful.
I would absolutely recommend Jill and Face the Occasion. It was worth every penny and I’m so glad to have had her help with our wedding day!

Jessica Sent on 07/02/2010Jill did the makeup for 2 of my bridesmaids and myself. She did such a great job and was so patient with all of us. The price did give me a start when I first heard it, but my one bridesmaid had used them and recommended them. The price was well worth it. My make-up turned out beautifully and it lasted throughout the day and night. Face the Occasion will travel to you on your wedding day, depending on how far they have to go and parking there may be costs associated with it but I think that is still worth it with them coming to you. -

Deirdre Sent on 09/07/2008Jill did a great job on make up for myself, my sister, mom, and sister-in-law. She was extremely friendly and flexible with scheduling. My make up lasted the entire day/night, and I was really happy with how everyone photographed because of the pro make up application.
I would highly recommend having Jill come to the hotel where you get ready - made it so easy! -

Great Service!
Kelly was recommended to me by a friend, and I am very grateful for that recommendation! The consultation was easy to schedule, and she really listened to the kind of look I was going for. On the wedding day itself, she did a fantastic job not only on me, but also on my mother and a couple of my bridesmaids. Kelly has a gift for enhancing natural beauty and making an elegant wedding day look. Her communication was professional and timely. I highly recommend booking Face the Occasion. -
