    Nancy is the BEST

    Nancy is INCREDIBLE! She did my wedding makeup, as well as my bridesmaids! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! She was extremely professional!(As well as super friendly!!) Her calming personality definitely helped lower the stress! Nancy made everyone feel comfortable and made sure to ask about any skin concerns. She came prepared with every possible makeup product/tone/etc. Nancy is a miracle worker! She got through all of us crazy, stressed and loud girls in perfect timing! (Thank you for putting up with us lol) Nancy made each one of us look beautiful! Our makeup lasted ALL night! Even through all the sweat and tears! (Including the eyelashes!) I highly recommend Nancy!!

    Wedding Makeup

    For our wedding I hired Nancy to be our makeup artist for myself & 5 bridesmaids & mother of the groom! I added a twist to her work, as I bumped the corner of my eye a few days prior to the wedding and the bruise traveled all over my eyelid! So had a lovely purplish black eye She covered it flawlessly, my makeup was beautiful & when people tell you all night long how gorgeous you look, you know it’s because of makeup & hair haha!!!! We all had a ball all morning getting ready, Nancy is the sweetest, a very calming presence during the chaos of a wedding morning! She’s a peach & I highly recently Nancy Gorman @Makeup by Nancy for your wedding makeup needs!!! Thank you Nancy for making us look so beautiful!

    Nancy is the best!

    I hired Nancy for my wedding day makeup after working with her previously when I was a bridesmaid in 3 other weddings. She is the best! Flexible, accommodating, and makes you feel beautiful! She is great at personalizing each person's makeup to make them look and feel their best! I would highly recommend!

    Book your makeup with Nancy today!

    First, Nancy is amazing at what she does! Nancy did my makeup for my wedding. I am not an everyday makeup wearer so I was really nervous to book someone. Nancy made me feel so comfortable and at ease, she understood that I wanted to look like my natural self. Nancy was extremely easy to work with, she explained nearly everything she was using and during my trial we figured out what was going to work best for my wedding day. When the day came she did all the makeup for myself and my wedding party, we all looked amazing! 10/10 would recommend Nancy!

    Best make up around!

    I can't recommend Nancy enough! Our story began 10 years ago when I was engaged to be married. During that time my mother became very ill and my wedding was postponed and eventually cancelled. Nancy was one of the few vendors during that time that showed me the utmost kindness. She was a bright spot in a very difficult time. Fast forward 10 years later and I was engaged again (for real this time) and there was no one I would have picked for my wedding day needs. Her make up skills are impeccable and I felt like an upgraded version of myself on my wedding day...but not a totally different person! I think that is everyone's goal when they get their make up done. If you are considering Nancy for your make up needs, look no further she is best in every way!! Thank you again Nancy xoxoxo

    Amazing & Stress free experience!!

    Nancy has been so helpful from the start. The makeup trial was perfect and a relief.

The day of the wedding her & her assistant were so organized that it through flawlessly even with 10 bridesmaids!!!

    Amazing job!!

    I am so happy that I chose Nancy Gorman for my wedding makeup artist!! I got married in Ipswich, MA on 8/10/19 and Nancy was a perfect fit for my bridesmaids and I. She did such an amazing job on all of our makeup. I typically don’t wear a lot of makeup so I asked for a natural look and was so pleased with the final result. I got a ton of compliments that day and still felt like myself! She listened to our requests and finished all of the bridesmaids’ makeup as well as my mother in laws with perfect timing. Not only is she professional and knows her stuff but also has such a fun, bubbly personality. She even went out of her way to bring an essential oils diffuser and asked what I would like her to bring. I was feeling anxious and asked for something calming and it totally helped! We had a great experience with Nancy and I would recommend her to any bride!!

    The best!!

    I can't say enough about Nancy. I have had the pleasure of having Nancy doing my makeup for two weddings previous to my own. She did my makeup flawlessly in all three weddings! I am not much of a makeup wearer and Nancy knew that. She made sure that I was happy and comfortable throughout the entire process. I am a huge crier but my makeup stayed on my face perfectly without a smudge or anything! Not only is Nancy wonderful at makeup but she fits right in and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed on the day of the wedding! I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone!

    The absolute BEST!

    Nancy is the absolute best!! I have worked with her on countless occasions for a variety of different events. Each one I have left feeling like a million bucks and have gotten so many compliments on my make-up. Besides being the sweetest, most down to earth person she is incredibly talented. She really knows her stuff, she can just look at your face and know what colors/style will flatter it the most. She can glam you up without making you look fake or she can give you a naturally beautiful look if that's what you prefer. All of my bridal party had different tastes in make up and Nancy easily accommodated them all and they were all blown away by her talent! Do yourself a favor and book her!

    Feel beautiful all day

    I had a chance to book Nancy for my August 2018 Wedding and couldn’t be happier. Nancy listened carefully to my requests and allowed me the chance to try out different looks making sure I was completely comfortable with the final choice. Some of my bridesmaids also got their makeup done and they loved how they looked. She also did my daughter’s touch up who looked adorable. I highly recommend her!

    Nancy goes above and beyond for her customers. Add that to her stellar work, and you have one amazing person!

    I first worked with Nancy when I was the MOH in my best friend's wedding two years ago. While I typically wear makeup, my bestie really doesn't; I was really curious how Nancy would glam someone up without making them look overdone if they're typically a natural beauty. My best friend looked stunning- Nancy mixed a very natural "enhancement" style of makeup with a few touches of drama that made my BFF look stunning. I was also lucky enough to have Nancy do my makeup, which was simple but stunning.

    So, of course, when I recently got married I HAD to have Nancy! I loved my makeup- it was the "dramatic but not costume-y" look I wanted, which I was really struggling to describe. Nancy somehow knew instantly during my trial what to do, taking into account my wedding venue, skin tone, time of year, wedding colors, etc. She did the same style for my wedding, and everyone kept complimenting on how perfect it looked. I absolutely loved it. She also did a couple bridesmaids as well as my mother's makeup, taking into account their styles and typical makeup application. My mom is totally makeup free at all times, and even she loved her fully-done look!

    Here's where Nancy really shines, though. I posted on social media that I needed wine bottles the week before my wedding after changing some decor on a whim; Nancy came through with 100 for me! She even picked them up from the restaurant that offered them to her. She didn't expect anything out of this; she was simply just being a good person, helping someone out.

    Nancy really loves what she does. She takes pride in her work and really strives to make relationships with her clients, and it shows. Nancy, you're the best!

    Nancy Saves the Day!

    Our - myself, my 72 yr old mother, and my sisterfriend - original makeup artist unfortunately had to have emergency surgery just 4 days before my son's wedding - ai yee! The orginal artist reached out to a couple of other artists, and after rejecting the 1st replacement (didn't meet my criteria/style ethos) we were delighted that Nancy kindly offered to fill the breach!

    After carefully reviewing her portfolio and a brief phone consult, I knew that Nancy was perfect for us; very skilled, very professional, listened AND understood our requirements. Her work was outstanding - our airbrush makeup was as fresh as could be despite horrible humidity, pouring rain, and dancing up a storm, and she herself is a lovely individual!

    Nancy, again, thank you so very very much - we were all delighted and you honestly made our day. Pix soon for you!

    Very Best - Tiffany

    Fabulous artist

    This woman deserves 5,000 stars; I cannot possibly recommend Nancy enough for your makeup needs.
    About a week and a half before my wedding, my makeup artist had to back out of our date because something had come up. I made 3 appointments immediately for trials and the original makeup artist was even willing to send me her associate at a discount.
    I went in with pictures describing the look I wanted to each one as references for color palate and feel.
    It was as if they all ignored what I showed them. They nodded, “uh huh, yup, got it, ok”, and then when we were done, they used nothinG in the palate I’d shown them. I literally gave them cheat notes, and they still failed the test?
    Ok. Onto quality. The first was ok, but didn’t wow me, I felt she was great for prom makeup or a night out. I’m sure I’d look great in pics but I’m going to be in this makeup all night, sweating and talking and eating and dancing and it was just too heavy feeling for a wedding. The second.... I won’t even go into detail, but I was literally speechless when she was done. I’m not a rude person but it looked like someone, um, young did my face.. I thought maybe she was joking and then realized she was serious so thanked her and put ON the hat I walked in with even lower on the way out. This i not an exaggeration, it actually happened. The third, way too heavy. She knew color, (though not what I asked for) but I could see every pore in my face even more than before she started. I was resigned to take whoever the associate of my original girl sent and lined up a trial for about 2 days before, but then..... Nancy. Oh, my saving grace. I had been interested in her work but she was unavailable. However, when she heard of my dilemma, she felt bad (who feels bad for a last minute bridE?!) and told me to come by her house for a trial. I have literally never been so happy with anyone doing my make up in my entire life. I say that having sat in multiple makeup chairs for acting jobs in New York and Los Angeles. This girl was so far beyond what I asked for. Her light-as-air airbrush coverage made my skin flawless AND stayed put all night. She checked in with me, referenced my pics and ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION TO THEM. She knew the style and feel and I trusted her to go for it and I kid you not, when she turned the mirror to show me at the end, I cried because I was like, “This is it.” I’d say I ugly cried, except she made me so pretty. I can not recommend her highly enough. She was not only my saving grace, but better than my original and I will now use nobody else but her in the future. I guarantee you. You will be happy with Nancy.

    Nancy was amazing. She did my whole bridal party and myself and those of us who are not makeup wearers looked stunning and natural and those of us who do wear makeup and may have been skeptical were blown away. She went above and beyond and was super down to earth and really helped calm my nerves (I got a mild sunburn 1 week before the wedding) she was worth every penny I spent.

    Nancy is amazing!! I am not normally a makeup wearer, so I was a little worried that I would look "overdone" on my wedding day, but Nancy is an absolute magician. I felt so gorgeous and still looked like "me"! She made me feel so comfortable from the initial trial and on the day of the wedding; she is such a warm, kind person and so easy to chat with. I loved having her there and she was able to do the makeup for my bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law as well! Everyone looked absolutely stunning - she is amazing at enhancing everyone's natural beauty and I could not have been happier with the end result! Thank you Nancy - you are the best!!
