Mona Sent on 12/10/2024An amazing makeup artist and person - highly recommend Sandy!
Sandy is an absolutely incredible makeup artist. She exceeded every one of my expectations and made me feel incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. She was one of my favorite vendors to work with! Her expertise and professionalism were clear from the onset. It’s also worth mentioning that I didn’t have a formal bridal party, so it was really difficult to find someone to do makeup just for me, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Sandy traveled to the venue to do makeup just for the three of us. Not only is Sandy’s work amazing, she is fun to talk to and clearly just an all around really lovely person. I highly recommend working with her! -

Tamara Sent on 11/18/2024Exquisite artistry and an absolute pleasure to work with!!!!
From our first contact, Sandy was terrific. She is a consummate professional, but also an incredibly lovely human being. I am so grateful that my bridesmaids and I worked with her. As an older bride (I'm 61!) and someone who doesn't generally wear a lot of makeup, I was a bit anxious about whether I even wanted to hire someone to do this work for me. I'm so very glad that I chose Sandy--and the women in my wedding party adored her too. She made all of us look and feel absolutely gorgeous. We haven't gotten official photos back yet (I will add shots when we have them) but even the spontaneous snaps are beautiful. She is mature, insightful, a lovely presence and did an exquisite job. Hire her with confidence! -

TO THE NEWLYWED READING THIS REVIEW: TRUST ME YOU FOUND YOUR MAKE UP ARTIST, LOOK NO FURTHER. I cannot say enough good things about Sandy! Sandy did my wedding makeup, and Gabby styled my hair, and they both did an absolutely flawless job. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they were also such a positive and calming presence throughout the day, adding to the good vibes and making me feel at ease. Sandy’s attention to detail and skill made my makeup perfect—it lasted all day and photographed beautifully. Gabby created a stunning hairstyle that I absolutely loved, and it held up all night long! I highly recommend them both for any special occasion. They truly made me feel like the best version of myself on my big day. The price was also super affordable for the amazing work they put in. Thank you, Sandy and Gabby! -

I found Sandy after a trial with another MUA did not go well. Sandy made the process at my trial very collaborative - she would ask me my preferences, clearly explain my options and her recommendations, and then show me the progress throughout the process so I could give feedback and we could adjust if needed. My makeup on the day of my wedding was perfect for me and held up beautifully. Whenever I’ve been a bridesmaid in the past, my (now) husband would usually say “it’s nice, it just doesn’t look like you”. On my wedding day I felt like an elevated version of myself, and my husband said it’s the best makeup I’ve ever had done (and I agree!). Sandy worked so well with my bridesmaids, they all had very positive things to say about the experience. After everyone’s makeup was complete they did touch ups on everyone which was great. Gabriela also worked with Sandy the day of given the size of my wedding party and did fantastic work as well! It was such a great experience working with them both and I’d highly recommend for your wedding day or any special event! -

There is no question in my mind that Sandy is the best in the business. If you are on her page, stop looking and just hire her!! From the get go, Sandy was quick to my questions, polite and professional, and had the most approachable demeanor. She has a heart of gold and welcomes you with open arms, and truly helps bring out your beauty inside and out. I came in with only one photo for her, and despite this, Sandy understood my vision, asked me to trust her expertise (I obviously did), and I was FLOORED by my results. She made me feel gorgeous, but also made me still feel like myself, not a dolled up, fake version, which is EXACTLY what I wanted. I'm confident you could see my skin from space with how dewy and glowy she made me look, and I can't describe how amazing she made me feel. On top of that, my bridal party/parents were all THRILLED with their makeup - I have been to plenty of weddings where someone in the bridal party gets upset that their makeup isn't what they wanted, but I knew with Sandy there was no chance. I can't recommend her enough for your wedding, engagement, or truly any big event!! -

Mary-Rose Sent on 12/07/2022Best makeup artist - you'll be good to go!
Sandy is literally the best! She truly puts the "artist" in "makeup artist". During the trial, I had an idea of what I wanted, but also wanted to implement some of her ideas. This "teamwork" of ours resulted in the perfect look. She is thoughtful, and also took diligent notes during my trial. We also had a seamless experience getting ready on my wedding day. My makeup lasted all day, no smears or running. Outside of it all, Sandy is fun to be around! She was also very responsive throughout the whole process (from securing her as vendor to wedding day). -

Noelle Sent on 11/06/2022Wonderful Makeup Artist! HIGHLY Recommend!
From our initial communication, Sandy was wonderful to work with! I do not wear much makeup aside from my eyes, so I wanted to make sure I found a makeup artist who wouldn't make me feel like I had tons of makeup on for my big day. Sandy completely understood this and knew exactly how to make my wedding day look still feel like me. She is so great at what she does and is such a kind person as well. She listens intently to your vision and makes sure you are happy with the final product. I will be recommending her to other brides for years to come! -

Sarah Sent on 10/27/2022Wonderful makeup artist and supportive vendor!
Sandy is incredible at what she does. From the trial to the day of, she made me feeling comfortable and understood. My goal was to look beautiful while not looking over glammed, still having my true features shine through. She did exactly that! I loved the way I looked on my wedding day. Her assistant, Gabrielle, was also awesome. Both were a ton of fun to chat and joke with while the wedding party was getting ready. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a makeup artist who understands your needs for your big day! -

Ana-Marie Sent on 07/20/2022Amazing experience!
Sandy is such a talented and patient makeup artist! My makeup was absolutely perfect on my wedding day and I felt incredibly beautiful. I was a bit unsure of what I wanted in the makeup trial. After looking at the photos that Sandy took at the trial, I decided I wanted to go in a more glam direction vs a very natural look. We discussed the changes I wanted to implement and she did a phenomenal job. The makeup looked flawless and lasted all day. She also did my maid of honor’s makeup and she looked very glamourous. We worked with a hair dresser Sandy recommended and we both thought Gabrielle did an amazing job with our hair! -

Aimee Sent on 03/23/2022Perfect Wedding Day
I met Sandy at Glamour Girl Tan and when I got engaged had no hesitation reaching out to have her do my wedding day make-up. We did a trial run, made a few adjustments from there and I couldn't have been happier. Sandy listens to what you want and the look you are going for and then creates from there. She is extremely talented and brings a sense of calm to the whole process. She was timely and so easy to work with. She did my make-up as well as my 3 daughters and officiants. She even helped me with a hair debacle the next day for my wedding brunch. I got so many compliments and felt amazing! -

Sandy Thinnes is magical! I had an incredible experience working with Sandy. As a Black woman I'm very particular about the makeup artists I work with. Sandy ensured that my makeup accentuated my natural beauty and skin tone. The energy and environment she cultivated allowed me to feel at ease and taken care of on my wedding day. Sandy even offered reiki to calm my nerves. Both the makeup trial and big day were dreamy. My mom and sister in law's makeup looked gorgeous. I'm so grateful Sandy was available for my day. Do not hesitate to contact her for yours! -

Sandy was amazing!! Not only was my makeup flawless on my wedding day but she was the perfect professional and was wonderful with helping me come up with the perfect look when I wasn't initially sure what I was looking for. I can't recommend her enough. I will definitely be in contact with her again the next time I need any professional makeup assistance. -

Kelly Sent on 07/25/2021A Truly Talented MUA & Magical Experience; Our Entire Bridal Party Loved Their Makeup!
Sandy and her team did my bridal makeup, as well as the makeup for my bridesmaids and MOTB. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. Sandy was the consummate professional from consultation, to makeup trial and throughout the entire wedding day. She is extremely talented and will do your makeup in a way that elevates your true beauty, not completely disguises it (though I know the artist in her can accomplish any look you desire). Everyone was absolutely thrilled with their makeup and her team as a whole. On top of everything, Sandy was a true bright light… a positive and calming presence on a day that can easily get overwhelming for any of us. If you have a chance to bring Sandy into any of your events/projects, or just a normal day where you want to shine just a little extra, do not hesitate! I would recommend her over and over and over. She is absolutely magical. -

I cannot recommend Sandy enough! She was professional, quick, funny, and easy to work with! She took notes on what I wanted and made changes, she highlighted all of my Bridesmaids beauty skillfully and naturally, and is just so fun! -

Liz G. Sent on 06/10/2021Sandy is The Best of The Best!
I am so thankful for Sandy and cannot recommend her enough! She is exactly who you need to be doing your makeup on your wedding day. She is an expert makeup artist but also brings a calming demeanor that puts you at ease ahead of your big day.
On my wedding day, I woke up with a stomach ache and a few prenuptial jitters. Sandy offered a beauty meditation and reiki. After a few minutes, my energy changed and I felt calm, centered, and my upset stomach went away.
I had a tiny little pandemic-wedding and Sandy took all the necessary precautions. She worked quickly and my make up turned out exactly how I wanted it. Eyeliner was perfection and the whole look lasted all night. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did that day, and it was largely due to her expertise and calming-kindness. Thank you, Sandy, for sharing your beauty! -

Ali M. Sent on 03/31/2021Can’t recommend Sandy enough!
Sandy did my makeup for my wedding trial and day and I can’t recommend her enough! We got married in July 2020 during COVID-19 and I really appreciated how flexible and understanding Sandy was. She was always prompt in her communications and she has such a personable demeanor. She just makes you feel special. Sandy immediately put me and my bridal party at ease with how serious she was taking safety precautions (sanitization, mask, air filters, etc.) which meant a lot. I really appreciated that she took the time to understand what I wanted and made sure I felt my most confident. Everyone’s makeup lasted the entire day and photographed so well. -

Megan Sent on 03/25/2021Best makeup day ever was on my wedding day, thanks to Sandy
After going through a few makeup trials, I was so worried about how my makeup would look on my wedding day, until I found Sandy. I was so lucky to have found her to do my makeup for the big day!!!! I looked and felt beautiful, but still looked and felt so much like myself, but extra special. Not only did my makeup look incredible, but the day of she was so relaxed and chill and fun, she added more joy to the getting ready portion of the day that I'm so grateful for and it couldn't have been replicated by anyone else. Sandy's an amazing makeup artist, I couldn't have been happier with her and highly recommend her for any special occasion. -

Vibrant natural personalized beauty
I am so glad I found Sandy! My original hair and makeup vendor canceled on me a couple months before my wedding and luckily Sandy and her team were available. I believe everything happens for a reason because she and her team ended up being superior to my original vendor and made the entire experience fun and comfortable! Her style of makeup and hair is classic, natural and elegant. Communication was easy whether it was via email or in person. She was also extremely attentive. They accommodated requests like using personal makeup for a member of my bridal party as well as avoiding hair spray for one of my bridal party as well due to an allergy. Sandy made sure my experience was personal providing facial massage prior to makeup application and well as tweezing some rogue hairs to make sure I looked my best even with the small details. They were professional and on time and worked quickly but efficiently. Additionally, they are associated with glamour girl tan and we were able to get high quality spray tans prior to the wedding. I cannot recommend this company more for anyone with an upcoming wedding! -
