Chelsea R. Sent on 11/12/2023Dreamiest makeup ever! Best of the best.
McKenna is absolutely incredible! From my trial, to the day of, McKenna was so accommodating, sweet, easy to work with, and not to mention I am OBSESSED with how she did my makeup both times, and my makeup lasted ALL DAY (even in the rain on my wedding day)! I had 10 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and me who needed makeup done, and McKenna brought 2 other stylists with her who were also incredible. All of my girls were raving about their makeup and their makeup artists! My girls are always beautiful, but man did they look GORG as bridesmaids. I can’t thank McKenna and her assistants enough for making us all feel so pretty on my wedding day! I wish I could have them all do our makeup again, such an amazing experience. I recommend McKenna to every bride out there! -

She is the BEST
McKenna's talent is truly remarkable! Myself and my bridal party have never felt so beautiful! She was so easy to work with throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding she made all of the girls feel super comfortable, she was so kind, and she made sure everything stayed on track. She listened to all of my suggestions that I made after the trial. She did my spray tan and my skin glowed beautifully. Hiring McKenna was easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Any bride that gets to work with her is so lucky!

Kourtney A. Sent on 08/02/2020Amazing bridal makeup
McKenna is flawless inside and out, she has such a talent for bringing out the beauty in each and every girl she has as a client, from the bride to bridesmaids to mother of the bride and groom. She makes you feel so comfortable to tell her exactly what you want. I would definitely recommend her, not only for a wedding but for all special occasions!Makeup By Mckenna's reply:
Thank you so much Kourtney! I am SO HAPPY you got to still have your special day despite all of the craziness with the Pandemic. I loved working with you and all of your girls! You were my first wedding since the Pandemic started and I could not think of a better wedding to kick start doing Bridal Makeup Again after not being able to work for 4 months. I can not wait to see all of the professional photos! Please send some my way when you get them! Congratulations! :) xoxo -

McKenna is so talented and amazing to work with! I was in love with how she did my makeup for my trial and even more so with my wedding makeup! She made me feel so special and beautiful and did my makeup exactly as I had envisioned. My bridal party was also super happy with their makeup and they all looked stunning! -

McKenna was absolutely wonderful from the very start. She was so quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. She ALWAYS gave her professional and honest opinion while keeping what I want in mind and I was BLOWN AWAY with my makeup on the day of my wedding. Everything was incredibly smooth the day of and every single one of my girls looked flawless and stunning. My makeup has never looked so incredible! McKenna’s work is absolutely exceptional and any bride is lucky to have her in their corner on their big day! I highly recommend her for any and all events. She is one of a kind! -

Tristan G. Sent on 11/30/2020I wish McKenna could do my makeup everyday!
McKenna is without a doubt the best MUA out there! Before I was even engaged, I knew she would be doing my makeup for my wedding. I personally hate pictures of myself but felt more beautiful and confident on my wedding day than I ever have before. She is extremely professional and truly listens to her brides, while also being able to guide brides/clients who have no idea what they want or are indecisive! I've seen her do everything from a more "natural" look to my "ultra glam" look and her work has been nothing short of amazing. I actually was so pleased with my wedding makeup that I recently booked a 1-on-1 makeup lesson with McKenna so that I can hopefully master an event look on my own! -

Best wedding make up ever!!
When I got my wedding makeup trial done at the end of the June it was phenomenal. I didn't think it was even possible for it to come out better the day of the wedding. I got married August 15th, 2020 and McKenna surpassed my expectations. I have never gotten so many compliments on makeup before and the best part is it looked just as amazing in the all the pictures. Her attention to detail on my eye shadow, eyebrows, face makeup and my lip color was truly amazing. After my bridesmaids saw the pictures from the trial all but two of them wanted to get their makeup done. The day of the wedding the last two girls were so impressed they ended up getting their makeup done too. McKenna was extremely accommodating and was able to get 8 girls ready for makeup in time for pictures. She was very careful and conscious with COVID19 and wore a mask during the trial and day of the wedding. She allocated extra time to clean her make up brushes in between each person getting make up done and made sure everything was clean and sanitary. Besides her make up talents McKenna was wonderful to work with! She was easy to talk to, listened to everyone's preferences before applying make up and was great about making changes when requested. I couldn't have picked a better makeup artist for my wedding day. Her prices were very reasonable too. I highly recommend her to any bride in the NJ area.Makeup By Mckenna's reply:
HI Kristen!
Thank you sooo much for your sweet review! You have no idea how much I appreciate it!! You were soo easy to work with and so were all of your girls! You all made me feel so comfortable. I hope your wedding was amazing!!!! Congratulations! xoxo
Best,

Patricia D. Sent on 11/06/2020Beautiful Make-Up & Great Make-Up Artist
McKenna was the best. Due to 2020 my husband and I had to postpone a few times. In July we decided to do a small ceremony because well we wanted to be married. Party can come later. I decided to have my make-up done that day and I knew I need McKenna to do it. She was very welcoming , safe, and super professional. My makeup stayed on even in the July weather. It photographed so well and I didn't feel like I had layers on my face. I highlight recommend her as a make-up artist for any occasion. We can't wait to have her do my make up and the rest of the bridal party for our future Vow Renewal Party.Makeup By Mckenna's reply:
Hi Patricia!
Thank you so much for the sweet review!!! I am so glad you loved your makeup for your wedding and I CAN'T wait to do it again for your vow renewal!!! See you next year!
Best,
McKenna -

Brittany B. Sent on 09/21/202011/10! - Perfection!
If I could leave more stars on here I absolutely would because this girl here was an absolute GEM to work with. She is so talented and everyone looked stunning!
Not only is she an incredible makeup artist she also goes above and beyond. A few girls and my moms had used the spa at the venue and there makeup didn’t come out well and was already botching and she redid them and had them looking flawless. She made everyone feel so comfortable it was like we getting our makeup done by a good friend.
I can’t say enough good things and I’ve been in the hospitality business my entire career. Thank you so much for making us look and feel our best on such a special day!! -

Jasmine T. Sent on 03/21/2020Beyond amazing!!
As I do not typically wear heavy makeup and am very particular with what little I do put on, I was initially nervous about finding the right makeup artist (if any at all). Thank goodness my wedding venue recommended McKenna because she is AMAZING!! From the trial to day-of, McKenna was incredibly sweet, attentive, and worked her magic. She promptly responded to what I like to call my “indecisive craziness”, always addressing and appeasing my concerns regarding eyeliner, lash extensions, etc. She also recommended my hair stylist, so I have McKenna to thank for my hair as well!
I originally intended to wear my glasses for the wedding but McKenna did such a stellar job that I ultimately decided to go without - and thank goodness I did! My mom, sister, and bridesmaids could not stop gushing at how great the makeup looked. And believe me, it takes a lot to make me feel comfortable without my glasses.
And of course, I am forever grateful for McKenna’s support during the craziness of COVID-19 as my wedding was on the last possible day before NJ banned all gatherings >50 people. My only regret is that she wasn’t able to join us for our wedding afterwards!! :)
Edit: And of course I messed up the wedding date. 3/15/2020. -

Don't hesitate to book!
As most people who know me know I am not a girly girl and when it came to makeup for my wedding day I was at a lost. Because of this I procrastinated booking a vendor until only 3-4 months before my wedding. Luckily I found McKenna as one of the preferred makeup vendors for my venue and I was so thankful she was available for my date. From the moment I reached out to the wedding day she put me at ease! My makeup was beautiful and even my mom who has had her makeup done for my 3 siblings weddings said McKenna did the best job and she loved her makeup the day of the wedding! Definitely don't procrastinate like I did and book McKenna ASAP! Thank you so much, McKenna! -

Helen Sent on 11/03/2019Absolutely Incredible!
McKenna was absolutely incredible!! Her talent is unmatched. Everyone looked so perfect and she even had enough time to add an extra person last minute without having to rush. She is also just such sweet person and was very prompt answering any questions or concerns that came up. Hiring McKenna was the best decision I made and I truly don't think anyone else could have made us look and feel so beautiful.Makeup By Mckenna's reply:
Thank you soooo much Helen! You were one of my favorite makeup looks I've done this year!!! -

Amazing Person Who's Extremely Talented
McKenna was absolutely amazing as my wedding day makeup artist. She is truly talented at what she does and so professional. She was a great addition to my pre-wedding team because her personality is so positive and relaxing. She knows exactly what to do with little words provided from me and nailed my wedding day look. My husband told me to hire her for all our events because my makeup was amazing that day! A lot of people had me worried that I should have gotten airbrushed but I am so glad I didn't. McKenna made me look so natural yet so gorgeous and I'm so happy she was on my team. Thanks so much McKenna, your so talented and I wish you tons of success! -

Amazing!
First, I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! McKenna, I cannot thank you enough for making myself and my bridal party look so beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart! McKenna has such talent and is such a sweet person. Trust me when I say you're in good hands with her! I got married 9/28/19 I did my trial with her in NOVEMBER 2018 and I remember I didn't want to take it off. On my wedding day McKenna listened to the needs of everyone even my mother who doesn't wear makeup. Everyone loved their make up and was so happy. What I loved most about McKenna is that she has true passion in what she does. She takes the time to listen to you when you say, " I don't wear too much make up, I don't want to feel like it's caked on." Or when I told her my fiance doesn't like too much make up and I just wanted enough to make me stand out on my wedding day. TRUST ME, She's GREAT! You're in good hands! Thank you so McKenna! -

Absolutely Incredible!
If you are looking for the best makeup for your big day McKenna is the one you want! She is not only beautiful on the outside but is also just as beautiful on the inside. I am a girl who does not wear a lot of makeup so I was a little nervous when beginning to look for a makeup artist. However, once meeting McKenna she made me feel so comfortable through the whole process. She was easy to talk to, explained what she was doing through the whole process, and was willing to make changes or give suggestions to get the exact look I was going for. I used McKenna through my whole wedding process. She did makeup for me for my engagement shoot, bridal shower, church sacrament, and of course my wedding day. I also got one of her amazing spray tans to give me that extra glow on the big day. McKenna was very flexible and accommodating! She was even able to fit me in when my engagement shoot had to be rescheduled due to rain. McKenna is the definition of a true artist and professional. My bridesmaids, mother-in-law, mom, and flower girls looked absolutely stunning! McKenna worked well with everyone in my bridal party including my young nieces who were my flower girls who had never had their makeup done before. McKenna made me look absolutely beautiful and I received so many compliments on my makeup on my wedding day. I still receive compliments to this day on my makeup when people see my pictures of my wedding. By the end of the whole process my mom and I were joking around about how sad we were that our time with McKenna was ending. We would joke how I would see McKenna so often that by the end it was like she was part of the family. I can not speak more highly of this young professional. I will definitely be using McKenna’s services in the further and I would highly recommend that you do too! -

I knew before I was engaged that McKenna would be the one to do my makeup for my wedding. I had first met her when she did my makeup as a bridesmaid 2 years ago. She did not disappoint on my wedding day. Thank you so much for making me look gorgeous and being so easy to work with! I love your style. -

McKenna was amazing throughout the whole process! She was responsive to emails and answered all my questions. She worked with me during my trial and helped me find my wedding look. On my wedding day, she was on time, professional, and finished everyone ahead of schedule. She made my bridesmaids, mom, and I look gorgeous! Everyone loved their makeup and we looked beautiful in person and in photos. I would absolutely hire McKenna again for makeup!
