    Amazing Experience, flawless results!

    Me and my 7 bridesmaids were so happy with Genna’s work. She managed to give us all exactly what we wanted, while making sure the looks were still cohesive. I can’t stress enough how stunning everyone looked in photos! I also found that the makeup lasted so much longer than I was expected - through all the dancing and cheek kisses! I touched up once with some powder and lipstick from the touch up kit she gave me, and I was good to go. I would definitely recommend hiring Genna.

    Wonderful Experience on a Very Special Day

    Genna did the makeup for my maid of honor, my mother-in-law and myself on my big day. Genna was really fun and a calming influence, which I really needed. I really enjoyed having Genna do my makeup. Genna also did a trial makeup session prior to my wedding which I strongly recommend! Thanks Genna for making me look so beautiful in person and in our photos!

    Beautiful, flawless makeup for a special day

    Genna did my daughter's make up for a formal event. She has a calm and friendly manner that put my daughter at ease immediately. Genna listened carefully as my daughter explained the look she was hoping for and the "finished product" was exactly what she described. Throughout the makeup application process Genna carefully selected the right products to use and checked in with my daughter to see if she felt comfortable and satisfied along the way. Genna's talent in makeup application was obvious and far exceeded other makeup artists we have worked with in the past. My daughter's makeup was flawless. We will certainly ask Genna to work with us again for future family events.

    Thank you Genna!

    I'm so grateful that I chose Genna as my makeup artist for my special day. From the trial to the wedding, she put me at ease and took away the anxiety I had of giving up control of the way I looked. I explained my vision and she executed it so much better than I could have imagined! I know all of my bridesmaids felt the same. So happy with everything. Thank you Genna!

    Sweet, kind, lovely and super professional!!

    Genna goes above and beyond!! You can really tell she wants to make sure your vision comes true! Even when you are unsure on the direction you are going in, or if what you wanted originally didn’t work out! She literally held my hand throughout this process and made sure I felt extra special on such an important day!! 100% recommend and will be using her for future events.

    Prettiest I’ve ever looked!

    Genna has done my makeup for a few special occasions and I never felt prettier! I looked like myself with a filter on, which was my ideal outcome! She is very punctual and listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Thank you!

    Loved working with Genna

    I loved working with Genna! I wanted to have my makeup look natural, yet still romantic. Genna was able to seamlessly capture this look, and listened to all my concerns. My bridesmaids loved their makeup too and my mom, who never wears makeup, felt so pretty. I would recommend Genna to anyone--she is such a professional and so sweet to work with.

    Genna was a great wedding make-up artist. Her trial was super reasonable and when we found out my skin was not quite right for her product, she offered to try a second product on a second visit. She created the perfect look for someone like me who doesn't wear make-up regularly. It was soft and elegant. My bridesmaids seemed happy, too!
    Thanks, Genna!!

    Genna has done my make up multiple times and I won't go to anyone else! She was super friendly and willing to work with the exact look I was going for. She had a variety of products to choose from and all of my looks came out flawless!! She knows exactly what colors would compliment my complexion and I couldn't have been happier! I would recommend her to anyone for a wedding, prom or any special event! Her pricing was exactly how much I was looking to spend and it was totally worth it! You will be so impressed!! You're the best Genna, Can't wait until next time!

    Working with Genna was amazing! she did an excellent job on my makeup along with my 6 Bridesmaids all in very efficient time! I was looking for something light and natural but sill looked amped up and she did that perfectly. Genna was very friendly and responsive to what I needed. I highly recommend her.

    Genna was a joy to work with for my wedding. She was on time, professional and put my mind at ease during a stressful day. I had my trial done with her very last minute and I'm so happy that I was able to book her. Throughout the process, it was clear that she wanted me to feel 100% comfortable with the results, yet gave me guidance when I was unsure about something. I felt exactly the way a bride should on her wedding day and I owe it all to her. So happy I found her.

    Genna was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive, flexible and professional. She went out of her way to travel to meet me for a makeup trial as well as come to our venue to do the bridal party's makeup. Genna was so warm, kind and caring that an additional number of women who had not originally planned on having their makeup done decided to have it done because of her warm personality and talent. Genna was willing to take on the additional work and did a wonderful job! Genna is a true professional!

    I had gone to two trials before I found Genna. I was starting to get discouraged because the first two artists seemed to pile a lot of makeup onto my face even with my request for a light, natural look. I left feeling like they hadn't listened to what I wanted and that I didn't look like myself. A friend recommended Genna to me and after looking her pictures on Instagram, I was impressed. The fact that she also advertised using only cruelty-free makeup was the final selling point for me. Our trial went great... she listened to what I wanted and let me look every step of the way to make sure I was comfortable as we went along. That was a huge help. She put me at ease and the end result was perfect. She again delivered the same flawless look on my wedding day. I'm so glad I found her!

    Genna did makeup for myself and my six bridesmaids on my wedding day. The girls in my party all have very different styles so I was a little worried about finding someone who could accommodate a variety of makeup looks. Needless to say, we we are so happy with the final result! She had a great attitude, worked efficiently and kept me calm on such a hectic morning. Would definitely recommend her!!

    I can't say enough about Genna Ellis Makeup making this "woman of a certain age" feel beautiful! The finished look was the just right combination of glam and natural. She gave me the confidence to face the camera! And she is the sweetest, nicest, kindest person. I love that all her products are cruelty-free. I recommend Genna to anyone who is looking to be the most beautiful woman in the room!

    I have known Genna for some time now and I have always admired her makeup work. I was very fortunate to snag her for my wedding! She was great with listening to what each of the 9 ladies had in mind, wether it was a very natural look or something a little more on the glam side. She also was very helpful with helping me find two people to do our hair. I would recommend her for any event you want makeup done for.

    PERFECT wedding look!

    Genna did mine and a bridesmaids makeup for my wedding in 2016. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, and I still wanted to look like myself but a little more glammy on my day! I was nervous I would look way too over done, so Genna worked with me on getting the perfect look. She was beyond sweet, easy going, and very reasonably priced. If you are looking for the PERFECT person to give you the makeup of your dreams on your special day, use Genna!!

    Genna was very flexible and accommodating. I did a trial run with Genna and she listened to what I wanted and I was very pleased. My wedding makeup was exactly what I wanted and ... perfect! Natural/ glam! You cannot beat Genna's price in comparison to the service she provides. She was very professional and very sweet. I have actually stayed in touch with Genna since my wedding! You will not be disappointed! I highly recommend Genna Ellis Makeup !

    Genna was just fantastic on my wedding day. All of the bridesmaids, mothers, and I looked flawless. We all wanted a natural look and that is exactly what we got. By the end of the night by makeup still looked perfect!

    Prior to the wedding, I was able to do a makeup trial with Genna. I live out of state and she was very flexible in working around my schedule. During the trial, I asked her what her opinion was on fake lashes since I had not worn them before. I ended up going for them at the trial and loved them. I also was able to bounce around ideas with her and she voiced her opinion.

    It was great to have someone who is passionate about their work and so attentive. Thank you, Genna!
