  Great to work with!

  I feel SO lucky that Shelby was available for my wedding date! I'm Asian-American, so I was looking for a makeup artist who had some pictures in their portfolio of someone who looked like me, which narrowed things down pretty quickly since I was looking in the Burlington, VT area. I'm a makeup novice, but Shelby was very patient with me and my questions. She did makeup for me, my mother, my officiant, and my bridesmaid, and they all LOVED her. She did such an amazing job!

  Couldn't be happier!

  Shelby was so easy to work with! She was responsive and clear with all communication, and extremely accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. She was professional; she showed up on time on the day of, and kept on schedule. She brought music, was fun and talkative. Everyone loved her! She helped my SIL/bridesmaid with her eyelash extensions even though she had applied her own makeup.

  AMAZING - I felt so beautiful for my wedding, thanks to Shelby!

  Shelby was wonderful! She did an amazing job and was so wonderful with my bridesmaids who are not used to wearing make up and helpful with my 85 year old grandma with sensitive skin. Highly reccommend

  Amazing Make-up, Wonderful Person

  Shelby was an absolute dream to work with! She was prompt with communication, responsive, and kind. I went to her for a make-up trial, and knew she was the right make-up vendor for me. She listened intently to all my wishes, offered choices, and talked through options. Not to mention, we chatted like old friends for the hour that I was there. Shelby makes you feel comfortable and at home while she makes you beautiful. I was so happy with my make-up the day-of. I looked like me, but the best version of me! The make-up held, Shelby was timely, and left a bag for touch-ups, which was wonderful. I would highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, creative person to help beautify them on their big day!

  Amazing work!!

  Shelby was awesome to work with!! She was very accommodating. She did an outstanding job on my make up and my little nieces. My make up looked very natural and not over the top. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their make up to be done.

  She is AMAZING, you couldn't get anyone better.

  First off, let me start by saying that I was not an easy bride to deal with! I didn't know what I wanted when I saw Shelby for the first time, but she quickly helped me find the look of my dreams. Not only did she assist in helping me look my best for my special day, but she also helped five bridesmaids, two flower girls, and two family members look their best too.
  She was incredibly flexible. The location of my wedding changed last minute, thank you COVID, as did the number of people I needed to have makeup done for. She was incredibly professional, but also super personable. She was able to communicate with even my most difficult girls who were not incredibly excited about being awake so early. I could not have asked for someone better.

  Beautiful makeup

  Shelby was wonderful! I loved my makeup and Shelby was very easy to work with. She was organized ahead of the date as well as the day of. She took the time to explore what kind of look I was going for. I really wanted airbrush and then makeup that would enhance my features. Shelby did an excellent job and I would highly recommend her. (She was also just fun to chat with while getting ready!)

  Please hire her! Absolutely amazing!

  Shelby was absolutely amazing! She took time out during the late summer to do a trial look on myself (even during a pandemic and was so cautious!) and helped/gave suggestions for my skin to ensure that on wedding day, I was my absolute best (and I still use them!). We provided her with our colors, and showed an image of the dress, and she just knew what I was looking for! She never made us feel rushed on wedding day, and even offered advice to my bridal party.
  
  She was so kind and truly made me feel at ease (as much as possible on such day). I never wear make-up and she just made it feel so natural.
  
  We met Shelby at a bridal convention in February on 2019, hired her on the spot, and kept in contact with us until our wedding date of 10/10/2020!
  
  100% would recommend to any bride, or individual looking to feel pretty.

  Shelby is lovely!

  I reached out to Shelby on instagram after seeing a lot of her portfolio on there. She was easy to get a hold of and was responsive thereafter. She was upfront with pricing when I inquired about it. It was easy to schedule a trial for myself and my bridal party members (and the MOB & MOG). She looked at my Pinterest board and asked me questions about my skin type, my level of comfort wearing makeup, what I typically do or don't wear, etc. She was very communicative and understood even when we had to postpone due to COVID. There were a few payment options and the contract was clear and simple to understand. On the day-of she was prompt and efficient, taking about 30 minutes per person. She was very good at letting me know when she was going to touch my face if my eyes were closed so that I wasn't startled. Overall Shelby was great and I would absolutely hire her again for a special event!

  Wedding Makeup

  I could not have been happier with Shelby/McFarren Makeup for my wedding! I planned a fairly last minute 'covid wedding' in Manchester, VT and needed makeup for just me. Shelby was accommodating to my specific needs/location, fairly priced, made me feel safe/took cleanliness very seriously, and did a wonderful job. I don't wear a ton of makeup, and she nailed the 'better version of myself' look for my wedding day. My makeup lasted all day and looked great in pictures. She was also super professional and communicative leading up to and on the day of the event. Highly recommend working with Shelby for your wedding or other makeup needs.

  Amazing Makeup artist!

  Shelby did a fantastic job doing my makeup and 10 of my bridesmaids all on her own!!! I had to add two girls to the list at the last minute and she was fine with the additions and made sure we were all done in time! She also gave us a goody bag incase we needed some touch ups after the ceremony!

  Shelby is the absolute best!

  Shelby was a dream. She was extraordinarily well-prepared, professional, kind, talented and just all-around pleasant. She was flexible (e.g., didn't bat an eye when I shared that I had brought my own lip color, offered to stay as long as required to touch up makeup after a potential need due to re-doing of hair) and responsive to my requests/questions and those of my party. She did an incredible job with my makeup, making me look like an enhanced version of myself (without that overly-done up look that can make one look unrecognizable), and made my mom and mother in law feel comfortable, happy, and look radiant. Shelby navigated a tight setup like a pro, having already come prepared with her own table and lighting. In addition to all of this, she was an absolute pleasure to work with - collaborating excellently with other vendors and even went out of her way to help me resolve and manage a challenge with hairstyling. I felt at ease with her on my side. Truly amazing. So very grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her. Only wish we could do it all over again!

  Makeup for my Wedding

  Mcfarren makeup made me feel like a princess for my elopement! Due to Covid we decided last minute to elope in Stowe Vermont on Valentines day. Our ceremony was outside (it was about 35 degrees!) and I was so worried about my makeup cracking. Shelby listened to all my concerns and created a beautiful look that stood the test of our outdoor ceremony, and 4 hours of outdoor pictures. Shelby took me on such short notice and did an amazing job for a very decent price. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to any bride that wants flawless skin, beautiful eye makeup, and lashes that will not budge your whole day!

  Best make-up artist!

  Shelby is the best! She came to do my makeup for our wedding in Lake Placid. She came with everything she needed to do our makeup down to the table and chair. We were all very pleased with our makeup! I would definitely hire her again.

  I was a glowing bride!

  Shelby was just awesome to work with! She got to our room to set up early and had a timeline in place. We were all ready on time and she made sure we were all happy with how we looked before starting on another person. I don’t wear a lot of makeup because I’m always afraid it will get cakey, but this wasn’t the case with my wedding makeup! It looked and felt like my own skin! I cannot thank her enough and I would recommend to anyone who wants makeup but doesn’t usually wear much.

  Shelby was amazing!

  Shelby was amazing! She worked fast (there were 9 of us total) and everyone's makeup came out stunning. All the girls got compliments all night. She listened to each of us and everyone came out happy with the results.
  
  I personally thought she was the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. In the past I always end up redoing some part of the makeup after it's been done but with Shelby, I didn't touch a thing! She nailed it, I looked like an elevated version of myself which was perfect for my wedding day.
  
  If you are looking for a personable, fast, talented makeup artist, look no further! Shelby is your girl!

  Shelby is incredible!

  Shelby was and is absolutely amazing. She made a point to come a bit early given the last minute schedule changes to our big day. She is friendly, professional, talented, and informative. As a bride, looking in the mirror after she worked her magic almost brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend her services to future brides or anyone in need of makeup services. ❤

  Excellent!

  Shelby was absolutely wonderful to work with. She made me feel so comfortable at my trial and gave me a bunch of pointers on how to care for my skin leading up to my wedding day. My whole bridal party looked so gorgeous. Shelby also gave me a super helpful kit of emergency supplies to keep us all looking fabulous the rest of the day! She is a very talented makeup artist and very professional

  Amazing Makeup Artist

  Shelby was so easy to work with leading up to my wedding day. She answered all my questions in a timely manner. On the day of my wedding, she helped to make the day stress free by being on time, and completing my 6 bridesmaids makeup, and mine, with time to spare. I would highly recommend Shelby to any of my friends who are getting married!

  High Quality, Perfect Price, Great Service

  I cannot recommend McFarren Makeup Artistry enough! Shelby made me feel stunning on my wedding day and went above and beyond to make my trail happen; Shelby traveled to my remote Vermont cabin and made note of all my trial-tweaks to perfect my wedding day make up look. On my wedding day, Shelby and her assistant arrived early, set up, and had everything ready to go for our 8 AM start. She managed to get our 11-person bridal party done an hour before pictures! Shelby and her assistant made me, my girls, and our mothers feel beautiful- everyone’s make up was perfect for their style, skin tone, and texture. I am thrilled with my beautiful my make up photographed, and that it stayed on SO WELL throughout the day. I truly did not even need a touch up after our ceremony, pictures, and reception. I am so pleased with my wedding day look and am thrilled to have connected with McFarren. Reasonably priced, high quality, and delightful to work with.

  Beautiful makeup!

  Shelby did the makeup for me and my girls for my wedding! All of us were blown away with how amazing we looked after! She was on time, was responsive to all my emails, and has a great personality and was fun to work with! The makeup lasted all night and the lashes stayed put! If I ever need my makeup done for anything else, I will definitely use her services!

  Amazing MUA

  Shelby is just flat out INCREDIBLE!!. From our first phone call to the first meeting, to the consultation through to our final event, I felt lucky to have had a very responsive make-up artist. For any brown skin girls, don't second guess booking Shelby because she did my makeup for my Ghanaian traditional engagement ceremony as well as my wedding day and my goodness she made me look fire!. I had 6 bridesmaids, MOB and myself and she arrived at least 15 minutes early before her scheduled arrival time to get started. She did everyone's makeup with a lot of time to spare. She was a lot of fun to work with. All of the bridesmaids and my mother couldn't stop talking about how amazing she was as a MUA and as a person! I seriously couldn't have asked for a better MUA! Thank you so much for everything Shelby!! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional makeup artist not just for their big day but for any special occasion.

  Amazing, kind & down-to-earth artist

  Shelby was amazing. For my trial she came to my house, and she did amazing run which was used for our engagement photos. The day of the wedding she arrived early, her work was amazing, she has such much patience, and actually listens to what you want as a look. She was very kind, responsive when I had questions, and always willing to help with ideas for something that I don't normally wear. I wanted a natural look that made my eyes popped and I received so many compliments on how myself and my girls looked.
  Thank you for everything you did, I still actually need to get some of the lipstick she used because it was amazing. If you're looking for someone down to earth, funny, and very kind, Shelby is your person. We were very lucky to find her!
