    Most beautiful I've ever felt!!

    Gigi and Vanessa were absolutely AMAZING for hair and makeup for my wedding! My whole wedding party and family looked so beautiful yet natural, everyone really truly loved their looks! And they were INCREDIBLE at my bridal hair and makeup. I showed them a photo of the style I liked and they exceeded my expectations. Like it looked even better than the first time, and I had no trial because it was a destination wedding!! I knew I made the right choice as soon as I got in contact with her on Instagram... Gigi is SO SWEET and her and Vanessa brought the best vibe to the house getting ready. We had so much fun with them. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone -- did I mention they travelled to Key Largo for me?!

    Gizella did an amazing job! Very professional, a pleasure to work with & exceeding all my expectations as far as I wanted my make up to look like for my engagement portraits, bridal shower and wedding.

    The Way Every Bride Should Feel

    Gizella is absolutely amazing! She made me feel beautiful, the way every bride should feel on their special day. I am so lucky to have found her. She's a genuine, open-minded, flexible and talented person. Even without a trial (due to short notice/lack of time schedule on my part), I felt so confident in her after our conversations. Gizella is talented in her ways. Not many people can pull the natural yet soft glam look, but she can! Thank you Gizella! You're amazing!

    GEM Makeup Artistry & Hair's reply:

    Gabby! Thank you so much for trusting me blindly after recommendation from Paige. Absolutely loved hanging out and sharing our stories. Thank you so much!

    GiGi & Paige = Dream Team

    I am so happy with how my make-up and hair turned out. GiGi did an excellent job at giving me a natural but glamour look and Paige did a great job giving me a beautiful, bridal look. All my girls were pleased with their services, plus they're such fun girls to be with!

    There is no one better!

    So this review is effortless to write because Gizella is truly just that talented. I can't tell you how many HOURS I spent weeding through countless instagrams and websites trying to find the perfect makeup fit. I knew instantly when I found GEM Makeup Artistry this was gonna be the one. Flawless application bringing out the best parts of all her clients and brides. Her talent speaks for itself. One bride truly more beautiful than the next. She was one of the most responsive vendors I had- and if you have or are planning a wedding during a world pandemic I knowww you can appreciate this even more!!! I was SO LUCKY she was available. Honestly it felt like fate- I just about cried with happiness! So then you might ask yourself- wellll do I really need a trial? Nice and loud for my brides in the back.... YES. YES. YES, you do. That was me. I was one of those brides trying to cut things I didn't think I "needed". Do not waste one second even questioning. Gizella was SO accommodating, and was able to squeeze me in so I could use my trial for my bridal shower. Amazing! I received so many comments on how beautiful my makeup was. Then came the day of my wedding... When I tell you my pictures are STUNNING, believe me b/c that is the recurring comment I received from every single guest. It was the most beautiful I ever looked or felt! And have no fear, the airbrush makeup lasted the entire night- I did not have to touch up anything even through my happy tears! I really could go on, but if I can say anything else it would be to not cut corners or skimp on your MUA. I can confidently say Gizella is whole heartedly worth it, hands down, without a doubt!

    Gigi was amazing!

    Gigi is a fantastic choice for a bride! She did such a beautiful job on my bridesmaids, mom, MIL, and my make up. Everyone looked so beautiful! She really knows how to bring out what you already have without making it look like you have a 100 lbs of make up on. exactly what i wanted for a wedding day! I highly recommend GEM makeup for a beautiful, natural look!

    Gizelle is amazing!

    Gizelle was part of a team doing mine and my bridesmaids makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Every single one of my bridesmaids loved her so much, that they all requested to have her do their makeup the next day for the wedding. She is professional and SO SWEET. So talented and really listens to what you are looking for. She is patient and truly wants you to feel beautiful - she reassures you that she is capable of achieving the look you want. In fact, most of my bridesmaids didn't have to give her much guidance - she just knew what to do!! She is amazing. Hire her because you will be so happy you did!!!

    Loved GEM Makeup

    GEM Makeup Artistry & Hair did a great job for my wedding. She was very easy to work with, and helped me out when my hair stylist canceled two months before the wedding after 2 years of planning! I had two makeup artists either do a horrible job or cancel on me, and then I found GEM! So lucky she was free for my wedding. Loved the makeup on the trial, and loved my wedding day makeup!

    Great experience!

    Yaneth and her assistant were great to work with, very fast, professional, and receptive to changes and special requests. Plans changed due to the pandemic and they were flexible and available. They were great with my maid of honor and mom. I really enjoyed working with them.

    Truly amazing!

    Gizella was such a pleasure to work with! She did the makeup for myself and my bridal party plus some family members and she did it with a smile on her face the whole time. Her work is absolutely flawless and left us all looking like princesses!! Thank you once again for working your magic and making us look stunning on my special day!!!

    Recommend to me by a friend

    Gizella was recommended to me by my bridesmaid for my destination wedding. Her team was nothing but accommodating and was wonderful to work with from my trial to the day of. They attended to each person’s preferences and showed the utmost kindness caring to my two flower girls. I cannot recommend Gizella and her team enough!!

    The best of the best!!!

    From the beginning, Gizella was INCREDIBLE to work with! She responded quickly from the beginning and was always available via text when I needed her. The trial was super smooth and after having a previous horrible experience with a different company, the trial was something I was super nervous about. She helped me obtain the exact look that I had in mind. Gizella was easy to work with, fun to have conversation with, and punctual in everything we had planned.

    For my hair trial, Paige showed up to my house and asked what I wanted to do with my hair. I had a few pictures I was looking at but really just said create something pretty and we can go with that. Well let me tell
    you, this hair goddess blew it out of the park with her ideas. She was punctual, easy to have a conversation with, and made the whole process very stress free.

    Fast forward to the day of the wedding -honestly it was the easiest, best experience EVER. The day was so smooth and the girls were so fast and efficient to make sure that we were all ready on time. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. My hair and makeup came out absolutely AMAZING in all of my photos and lasted the whole night without ever needed anything to be touched up or fixed.

    If you are looking for professional, punctual, creative, and affordable artists to do your hair and makeup... I would 200% recommend GEM :)

    Thank you so much Amanda for this review! Paige, Chiky and Myself absolutely loved being part of your special day. Wishing you the best!

    Extremely talented

    Gizella and Paige are truly amazing at what they do! They were super friendly, professional, on time and a pleasure to do business with! Without a doubt, if I ever need makeup or hair for another event, I will most certainly be using them and will refer all of my friends/family.

    Truly an expert in the natural look

    I was so concerned about my makeup, I originally wasn't going to get it done. I hate looking like I'm wearing too much, but my MOH convinced me to do it. I chose to do a trial with GEM because she highlighted how she loves the natural look. Then, I was totally sold after the trial. Gigi has SUCH a calming presence and is so knowledgable about everything makeup. I did airbrush, and she explained everything to me during the trial so I felt totally comfortable. We made some tweaks to my eyeliner and lip color and she remembered everything.

    Day of, she arrived early and set up quickly. She was ready before we were which was so calming! Gigi did my makeup, two mothers, and 2 bridesmaids. She also threw lashes on some of my other bridesmaids for no charge, and she gave me a touch up kit (see the photo of my little cousin touching up my lip color - so cute!). She also accepted venmo and chase quickpay which made things so easy!

    I would highly recommend GEM to anyone in the South Florida area. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day! Thank you!

    Hands down the best!

    Gizella did an outstanding job for the makeup looks at my wedding. She listened to what look I wanted and created one that was even better than I thought was possible. I continue to receive compliments whenever I show my wedding pictures! Her makeup skills are superb and I recommend her without any hesitation. My makeup look just as perfect at the end of the night as it did in the beginning and that was through all the kisses and happy tears!! She even gives you a full size touch up kit for the bride but her makeup is so good that I didn’t even need to use it. If you want yourself and your entire bridal to look breathtaking and gorgeous then she is your perfect makeup artist.

    Gizella is wonderful

    Gizella and her team glammed me up for my wedding day on December 22, 2018. She was so great to work with and understood exactly the look I wanted for my special day. Prior to the big day, we did a trial and she was so nice and helpful. She listens and will help you get to the dream look you want. She always answered all of my questions leading up to the big day in a timely and professional matter by phone and email. On the wedding day, she made me feel and look beautiful as well as my bride squad. Her airbrush is amazing as well as traditional. The eyelashes she used felt super natural as well. I was emotional throughout the entire day and my makeup still looked amazing when I got home. I would highly recommend Gizella and her team for makeup ❤️

    Bridal makeup

    Gizella is amazing! I told her the look I wanted and she completely exceeded my expectations. I’ve had my makeup done for other weddings but her airbrush was truly the best! She has a light hand so nothing looks caked on and it looks flawless. I received so many compliments. 💁🏽‍♀️

    Book asap!

    If you’re reading this, you’re already headed in the right direction! One of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding was hiring Gigi for my hair and makeup. She made me feel absolutely radiant on my wedding day! I had a NYE wedding that ended at 5am, Gigi was done with my services by 4pm and no matter how much I sweat, my makeup never budged. She is a true artist and such a vibe! She has such a calm way about her, which is what every bride needs on her wedding day when there are so many other thoughts happening! Leading up to the day, her communication was absolutely on point, I never had to worry about following up. She always responded in a timely manner and always with great advice on helping me pick the best look for my wedding. I cannot praise her enough and truly recommend booking her right away!

    Above and beyond!!!

    Where do I begin. I am always afraid of people touching my face or using products that may brake me out into hives. Gizella is such an amazing artist not only does she cater to your needs she’s extremely knowledgeable on what reacts to each certain type of skin and gives you recommendations!!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding and bachelorette I could not have asked for a better make artist. You can literally show her a picture of what you want does exactly what you like and is honest! I love trust an honesty of something doesn’t look good on my face particularly she will always show you different options where you don’t look crazy lol but still get what you want!! I was so blessed!!! Thank you Gigi for making me feel like a princess on my big day!!!

    Gizella came highly recommended in the Palm Beach area. I chose her to do my makeup for my engagement pictures and used it as my “wedding trial”. Gizella did a fantastic job “glamming” me up. I had no doubts that she would be the perfect person to glam myself, my mother, and my bridesmaids for my wedding. Sure enough, everyone looked absolutely beautiful. My makeup was flawless. She is also professional and kind as well. 10/10 :)
