    Absolutely Amazing!

    Julie is truly amazing! She is super sweet and very talented. She did my makeup for my wedding and it came out better than I could’ve ever imagined! You will not regret booking with her.

    Absolutely the Best!

    WOW!...I simply can not be more impressed with Julie at Pittsburgh Makeup. She does an amazing job. From the booking confirmation up to my wedding day she was just great. She was always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. She took her time with each of us, and really listened to what we pictured our makeup being like. Our makeup was absolutely STUNNING. Julie made me feel, and look so beautiful on my wedding day. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist. All the guests kept commenting how much they loved our makeup. She is amazing at what she does!

    Can't recommend Pittsburgh Makeup enough!

    Julie was an absolute gem to work with and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She made sure I still looked like myself, just a more elevated version which is exactly what I was looking for. She is a perfectionist, even during my trial the attention to detail she took was awesome to see. My makeup lasted 16 hours and still looked perfect when I removed it. I highly recommend Julie for your wedding day!

    Amazing job! Wedding 7/31/21

    Julie did an amazing job for my wedding on 7/31! I had a situation where my previous make up artist did not work out weeks before my wedding and when emailing different vendors, Julie happened to be open on my wedding date. Herself and Bri did an amazing job with make up for the day of, they showed up 10 mins early on-site at the Oaklander, made the entire make up process seamless, and was super professional. I could not recommend a make up artist more. If you live in the Pittsburgh area and looking for an experienced, professional, on trend make up artist, book Julie you will not regret it!!!

    Julie is Amazing!

    Julie did my wedding makeup on June 26, 2021. A week later I still can't stop thinking about how beautiful she made me feel and how flawless my makeup was. As an 'older' bride, I wanted to look as natural as possible, but still have a little 'pop' for photos. Julie nailed it! I kept looking in the mirror in awe of her talent. And her beautiful personality makes her a joy to work with. Julie also did our 20 something daughters, and they were drop dead gorgeous! Julie took their youth & beauty and merely enhanced their natural features with a healthy glow. We were walking on air all evening feeling so beautiful. Julie is a Master makeup artist and I truly can't wait to work with her again.

    Pittsburgh Makeup's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! Can't wait to work with you again for your makeup lesson :)

    Xx, Julie

    Julie is amazing!

    Julie did the makeup for my wedding ceremony in May 2021 and I have nothing but amazing things to say! We already hired her for our reception next year. She is responsive via email - I had so many random questions and she answered honestly and quickly every time. I did a trial with her and loved everything but decided afterwards I wanted slightly more eye makeup - she didn't hesitate and delivered exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. As someone who doesn't wear a ton of makeup day to day, I really wanted someone to enhance my face and not make me look like a different person. Julie does this perfectly - I got so many compliments on my makeup that day and it was all thanks to her! Not to mention, she is so sweet! She made me feel so beautiful on the special day and I can't recommend her enough!

    Pittsburgh Makeup's reply:

    Thank you so much Leah! Loved spending the day with you and your family and can't wait till next year :)

    Amazing Service

    I highly recommend Julie for any of your wedding make up needs. She is very responsive, flexible and reasonably priced. Julie was on time for my wedding day and came prepared despite all of the COVID craziness. I would work with her again any day :)

    So happy that I was a small part of your big day Felicia! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a review!

    Couldnt have asked for anything more!

    Julie and her team were so amazing to work with!!!
    OMG - she was SO sweet and able to provide such a customized experience for everyone.

    Getting married during COVID was NOT easy! We had issues with the TWO other makeup artists that we tried to hire for the day. Needless to say - I reached out to Julie with 1 month to SPARE. She dropped everything and made it work! We had 13 people to try to accommodate for make-up and everyone looked FLAWLESS!

    While I was getting ready, Julie gave me little pep talks and positive vibes! Let me tell you guys - I REALLY needed this. She helped me to relax and focus on how amazing the day would be and she transformed my make-up visions into a reality.

    Julie made me feel super comfortable and was so flexible in her work. She asked for feedback along the way so if i ever didn't love something, she could correct it. BUT i can honestly say that I've never felt more beautiful than i did on my Wedding day!!

    10/10 would recommend!! LOVED WORKING WITH HER!!

    Pittsburgh Makeup's reply:

    LOVED spending that morning with you guys...everyone was so sweet! Thanks so much for the review and you looked absolutely stunning in your photos! Xx, Julie

    Julie is Amazing

    There was no question that I would use Julie as my make-up artist on my wedding day. I was in two weddings previously and Julie did the make-up for both. Not only is she extremely nice, but she is amazingly talented. I loved her attention to detail at the trial and on the wedding day. I had a vision and she made it come to life. Julie made me feel my prettiest on the most important day of my life and for that I am forever grateful. I would use her 100 times over!

    Wedding makeup perfection!

    Having Julie and her assistant do makeup for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, hands down. They were both so nice and fun to work with, and the end results were absolutely stunning. Every look she did was unique and perfectly flattered each one of my girls, while keeping everyone in their comfort zone. She even went down and did a little touch up for the groom, which helped him cover a few blemishes and feel his very best too! On a personal note- I usually never like how I look in photos and was nervous to have my picture taken so many times at my wedding, but Julie's work made me feel beautiful and confident. Thanks to her, I felt amazing on my wedding day and love seeing the photos! I can't recommend Julie and her team strongly enough! Hire her if you want to look and feel amazing on your wedding day!!

    Julie Is The BEST!

    Planning a wedding can be daunting. There are so many choices and options it can be hard to know whose "good" and whose "not so good" in the wedding industry. Luckily, I had the pleasure of working with Julie from Pittsburgh Makeup prior to my big day. Julie did the makeup for my sister's wedding about 5 years ago and when I started planning for my wedding, I knew right away she was the one I wanted.

    Julie is very friendly and goes out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed on the wedding day. My trial and wedding makeup turned out flawless. I’m not much of a makeup person on a day-to-day basis, so I told Julie I trusted her to use her professional judgement and do what she felt made me look the best, and she nailed it.

    I can't say enough good things about her and her business. If you're a bride looking for a makeup artist in Pittsburgh then Julie is your girl! I highly recommend Julie and Pittsburgh Makeup.

    Julie is amazing!

    Julie is so talented and was awesome to work with! She really takes the time to understand what look you’re wanting and is great at knowing what works and looks best for each face. She has a very calming presence that is perfect for an anxious bride. She made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom look and feel so beautiful!

    Fun, enjoyable, relaxing

    I loved everything about my experience with Julie! Not only is she so talented doing make up, but she’s so incredibly delightful to work with. She made sure to have the perfect combo of a natural look in person but also enough for a smooth complexion in pictures. All of the bridesmaids were more than pleased with their make up as well. She took her time, made sure everyone was beyond satisfied, and overall just did an amazing job! I would highly highly recommend her for any wedding or special event!

    Julie is an amazing make-up artist! Not only is she talented, but she is extremely professional and very friendly! She listened to what I wanted and delivered the perfect results. I just had my trial run for my wedding day and I looked beautiful! I'm so happy I chose her as I know I will be looking my best on my wedding day. Myself and all of my bridesmaids cannot wait to have our makeup done by her on my big day! Not to mention, her new studio is so cute! Thanks again, Julie!

    Fabulous!!

    Julie was amazing!! She was so friendly and helpful and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!! She came out to my parent's house the morning of my wedding and was so nice and welcoming to my family and bridesmaids and made them feel so comfortable. All of my girls looked beautiful and were so happy with their makeup! Even my mom who never wears makeup was thrilled with how beautiful and natural Julie made her look. From the first consultation to the wedding day, Julie made the whole experience simple and wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding day!

    Julie is amazing !!! She does such a wonderful job and is such a pleasure to work with. I was the bride who waited last minute to find a make up company that would travel to my location. Surprisingly enough, She accommodated me and 4 other girls!! She very prompt and very kind! I felt and looked amazing after she was finished. She did touch ups after she was completed too, which I didn't expect. She made sure each and everyone looked their best and were happy with the results. Id recommend her to anyone looking for a make up company that has decent prices, does a beautiful job and the make up last all day!! Bonus: She will travel to you! Thank you again from all us ladies

    Julie was fantastic to work with. She did makeup for my mom and I, two people who don't wear a lot of makeup in our everyday lives, and made us both relaxed through the whole process. We felt beautiful for my wedding. Highly recommend her!

    Julie is AMAZING! I first met her through one of her make up classes. She is seriously so talented and experienced. I knew I had to have her for my wedding day! She traveled to my location with ease and was right on time. I had a larger bridal party, and she made the decision to bring an assistant to adhere to my timeline for the day. Julie and her assistant worked together seamlessly. Everyone looked FLAWLESS! She took her time making sure each girl looked perfect. Everyone was so pleased with how the make up turned out. And the best part, we looked just as good when the day ended. If you want to look and feel beautiful on your wedding day, go with Pittsburgh Make-up. I can't say enough good things about Julie!!

    Julie is a bride's dream: a total professional, wonderfully talented and also a great friend! I worked with Julie as my makeup artist at a fashion/retail job before getting engaged and knew I wanted her at my wedding when the time came - we even scheduled our wedding date further out to make sure she would be available. She's capable of working with all skill levels of brides and wedding party members, whether everyone in your party needs a full face or some girls just need a little extra help while you're getting your own makeup done. She really listens to be sure she understands the style and colors you want and uses the same products at the trial session that she does for your wedding. I can't say enough good things about Julie. She has a calming presence that helps a lot on the big day when something with another vendor inevitably gets mixed up. You can trust that at the very least, your makeup will be awesome!

    It is every girl's dream to feel like a princess on her wedding day and, because of Julie, I did. She did my makeup first when I was a bridesmaid and then when I was a bride. I knew I had to have her on my wedding day after meeting her at my best friend's wedding. She is so easy to work with, extremely professional in communicating throughout the planning process, and truly made my day more special by being a part of it. I cannot express how satisfied I am with my whole experience. My trial was perfect and left me feeling so reassured for the wedding day! She arrived promptly on the wedding day (30 minutes prior to the wedding party) to set up, and completed my makeup along with my 11 bridesmaids in perfect timing for the photographers. She communicated so well with my other vendors to ensure that we stayed on schedule. Julie made my big day so enjoyable along with her two assistants. They worked so hard and were so fun to start the day with! I am very particular about my makeup and Julie could not have done a better job... and it lasted ALL DAY! I highly recommend her to any bride looking for an outstanding experience on her wedding day. You will leave for the ceremony feeling like the most beautiful girl in the world!

    Julie was amazing! I could not have asked for a better experience for my trial and wedding day. Coming from someone who does not wear a lot of makeup, she made sure I was comfortable in my skin and but made me look my absolute best on my wedding day! Thank you so much Julie!

    Julie was simply amazing. She was super accommodating when scheduling my trial, sat with me for over an hour until we got my makeup just right, and was quick to respond when I got home and wanted to make some changes! I couldn't have looked more beautiful on my wedding day. If you are looking for a makeup artist for your wedding - look no further.

    One of the best wedding decisions made was choosing Pittsburgh Makeup! I seriously can't say enough great things about Julie's work. From the trial to the big day, I was SO, SO pleased and happy with everything!! Julie was amazing to work with, very professional, always responded quickly, and was just such a kind person! For my wedding day, Julie and an assistant, who was also amazing, provided makeup services for myself and 6 bridesmaids--everyone raved about the service and we got so many compliments on how we looked! Hands down one of the best decisions for my wedding---I know I will forever look back and be so pleased with how my makeup looked on my wedding day! Thanks Julie! :)

    Julie is INCREDIBLE! You would be silly not to book with her. I was planning our Philadelphia, PA wedding from Denver, CO, and she was amazingly flexible. She travelled to Philly for our wedding, and made time on a Saturday to do a trial when I happened to be in town. She did my makeup, 4 bridesmaids, my mom and MIL and everyone loved her because on top of kickass makeup, she's the sweetest and nicest person. Seriously, BOOK HER for your wedding, she rocks!
