    Jen is Fabulous!

    Jen was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day makeup. She brought my 'natural glam' vision to life, and even while being out in the sun for pictures my makeup stayed perfectly the entire night. She also did an incredible job with my SIL, MIL and mom, all of whom wanted 'natural' looks. Jen is so incredibly talented and put us all at ease, especially those of us who don't wear a lot of makeup on the norm. I highly recommend her services!

    Jen can do it all!

    I loved working with Jen! She is so helpful and talented and I felt at ease knowing she’d take care of my beauty on my wedding day. Jen gave me (bride) and my mom amazing wedding day makeup, which survived the Tahoe snow, rain, and sunshine for an outdoor wedding. Thank you Jen! I highly recommend her talented services!

    Amazing! Hire her!

    Jen did makeup for all the ladies in the wedding party and everyone looked so gorgeous! I wanted wedding makeup but also a natural look - during the pre-wedding trial, she was able to perfect the look and even took notes so that I was confident going into the big day that it would turn out beautifully! Jen was also incredibly efficient and so fun to work with! She was amazing throughout the whole process and I couldn't recommend her more highly!

    The Best Makeup Ever!

    Let me just say, WOW. I have never successfully had my makeup professionally done where I loved it. I don't wear a lot of makeup normally so wearing heavier makeup doesn't usually do well with me and I am in general, just very picky. Needless to say, I was nervous going into my trial with Jen. However, from the moment I walked in, Jen was confident, knowledgeable, and did an AMAZING job. Day of my wedding, Jen arrived early and did my mom's makeup (which looked absolutely beautiful) and offered to help with flowers or whatever else we needed until I was ready. Without notice, she agreed to do my Maid of Honor's makeup and my grandmother's makeup and did a stunning job on both of them. We so appreciated her flexible attitude and just general upbeat deamenor. She did an absolutely perfect job on my makeup and hit the perfect balance of glamour but not overdone. She was quick, efficient, fun to be around, and totally calming (which is always a positive day of)! I truly cannot recommend Jen enough.

    Beautiful Makeup!

    Jen is an incredible makeup artist. She has such a talent for bringing out someone’s natural beauty and accentuating their best features. All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their makeup and my mother even became teary eyes because she felt so beautiful! I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I felt like a million bucks and the makeup lasted through many happy tears and a very sweaty dance floor! This girl even sells her own makeup line. Run, don’t walk, to pick up some of her tinted chapstick. You will not regret it.

    Natural but stunning

    Jen is amazing. For a natural but stunning look that stays all night, there's no one I'd recommend more. I had to be convinced to get my makeup professionally done, because every prior experience was bad. I'm a redhead, so it can quickly go wrong. But Jen was a wizard, listening to my concerns and mixing products to not only perfectly match my coloring, but also keep me hydrated, not oily, even out my skintone, stay all night long, and look natural (that was a big one for me). I felt so incredibly comfortable and happy with her after my trial run, and she worked with me on every little tweak I had. I also appreciated that she took the time to make my mom and grandmother happy, because they are also not traditionally big makeup people, but they looked natural and felt good. She has a makeup line too, and I absolutely plan on buying some of her products because she knows her stuff.

    Amazing and Professional

    Jen was so professional and helpful from the start. I knew I wanted to use her to do my makeup but she also helped me with some suggestions for people to do my hair. I really like when professionals give their recommendations for other vendors as they have worked with them before and know who is best.
    Anyway, Jen really listened to what I wanted my makeup to look like and it turned out flawless! I got so many complements on my makeup at my wedding. And she was amazing with my mom, MIL, matron of honor and SIL. Everyone looked gorgeous but not overdone. Plus, Jen was so nice and easy to get along with too! Thank you Jen for everything!!

    Wedding Makeup

    Jen is hands down AMAZING! I've never been a fan of getting my makeup done since I'm so picky but with Jen I felt absolutely stunning. She matched my foundation perfectly, took into account how I wear my makeup on a normal day and highlighted my features for photos. She did makeup for my wedding in Truckee for myself and 8 other people. Everyone walked away feeling absolutely beautiful and confident and you can definitely see the quality of her work in all of our photos from the day. She took the time to get to know me and was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible throughout the whole process. I wish I could have her do my makeup for every single event. Highly recommend her! Thanks, Jen!

    Jen did an incredible job doing makeup for me, my mom, and my sister for my wedding! I don't usually wear makeup and she was able to give me a natural but beautiful look. We did a consultation the day before and then she came to our house to do everyone the day of the wedding. She has been doing wedding makeup in Tahoe for many years and is really an artist!

    Jen was absolutely amazing! She listened, was flexible and the make up really held! I was coming from the Bay Area, so Jen suggested a trial for my bridal make up the day before - perfect for my rehearsal dinner. The timing of the rehearsal was pushed up, and I later added additional people to the party. Jen accommodated us without hesitation. The make up was exactly what I wanted and lightweight but even lasted through a boat ride, sunshine and dancing. My friends joked the next morning, that I could caption a photo, "I woke up like this," as the make up was still flawless.

    Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She is so efficient with her time and does a great job with making sure the client is getting exactly what they want. She did an amazing job on my bridal makeup as well as my 8 bridesmaids and my mom! The makeup looked beautiful and felt very natural. I would highly recommend using jennifer for wedding makeup!

    Jennifer did makeup for my wedding (including the bridal party and mother of the bride/groom). She did an excellent job catering to everyone's needs, she was very fast, and I loved all of the products she used. She was flexible scheduling a trial beforehand, so we could align on the style I was looking for. I highly recommend Jennifer for any wedding!

    I booked Jen to do my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with the job that she did! I don’t wear too much makeup normally and felt so worried that whoever I ended up booking would overdo it and I wouldn’t feel like myself on my wedding day. But she completely got what I wanted! It felt like a better version of my normal makeup which I loved and it looked beautiful in the pictures. Not too much but just enough to stand out. She did 5 of my Bridesmaids’ makeup as well and every one of them was happy with their makeup too. She was also very quick and we were out of the hotel room right on time! Just goes to show she knows what she is doing. I am so happy I used Jen for our wedding!

    Jen is beyond amazing. Her energy is absolutely what you want around you on your wedding day! I was so nervous about getting my makeup done because I don't wear much on a daily basis & I have had experiences in the past with others where it was too much and I didn't feel like myself... but Jen reassured me on our first phone call & I immediately adored her vibe & energy. The trial run was perfection.. and the wedding day was even better. I do photography for a living & I can not wait to work with her from that end!! I can't imagine going to anyone else for my wedding day. She blew me away! Not to mention.. she made my mother & mother in law feel absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much Jen!!!

    Jen was nothing less than the absolute best! I will forever recommend her for any special occasion! I recently just had my wedding and she did my makeup, my bridesmaids, mother and mother in law and everyone's makeup was so beautifully done! If you want someone who will take there time with you and not rush, yet finish in a timely manor, Jen is definitely the person you want to have by your side. She does such amazing work and is the sweetest person you will meet!

    Jen was amazing! She did my makeup perfectly for my wedding. Many of my bridesmaids saw how great she was and ended up deciding to get their makeup done last minute, and she was totally open to it and flexible. She did amazing work and was really quick! At the consultation she was open to my ideas and helped share some of her own, which was much appreciated since she is the expert! I would absolutely use Jen over and over again!

    I hired Jen to do my wedding makeup for myself, my 6 bridesmaids, and my mother. She did such a good job! I'm from Hawaii and never wear heavy makeup so I wanted something really natural for my wedding day! Every other time I've had my makeup done in the past I tell the makeup artist to do natural makeup but Jen is the ONLY one who actually did it! All of my bridesmaids were so happy with their makeup as well and it lasted all night no problem. I would definitely recommend Jen to any bride!

    Jen was one of the best decisions I made my on my wedding day. She is very talented in her craft and executed exactly what I was looking for. Jen also provided a professional and fun vibe day of that helped calm the nerves of myself and the girls while getting ready. She showed up exactly on time (even though we were all dealing with many road closures) and when working with her over the phone she was extremely professional, and always got back to my phone calls and emails in a very timely manor. You can't go wrong with this girl!! Highly recommended!!

    Jen made me feel more beautiful than ever! She was an expert at making me look natural and flawless in person for our wedding while also making sure that I would photograph well. This led to me feeling like a million bucks and photos that turned out stunning! Not to mention that Jen is just a wonderful friend to have in your corner on the big day! You can tell she genuinely cares and enjoys her job!

    Jennifer was fantastic! I had a last minute make up appointment for my wedding in July. She was honest and quick with her responses, very welcoming and genuine to talk to. I'm not a make up guru by any means, but she made me feel very comfortable. Her technique was exactly what she explained and the end result was perfection. Complete perfection. I looked flawless because of her!! :)
