Emily Sent on 04/20/2025Thank you Shimmer & Spice!
Briana and Maria did such a beautiful job with natural glam makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and important family members on my wedding day. Briana is the sweetest ever. Working with her was a dream! She nailed my makeup look, it was exactly what I wanted. I asked for a few slight tweaks after my trial, and she was super receptive to my feedback. She made me feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for me. Briana did three generations: me, my mother, and my grandmother. We all looked and felt like the most beautiful version of ourselves! Maria was also super friendly, she did a great job on my bridesmaids and the mother of the groom. I was so pleased with Shimmer & Spice. Their professionalism, communication, and talented makeup artists were exactly what I needed on my wedding day. -

Briana from Shimmerandspice did an amazing job with my wedding makeup. I was nervous about wedding makeup since I hardly wear much makeup at all. Briana listened to all of my concerns and didn’t pressure me into any makeup choices that I didn’t like. I’m very pale with light blonde eyebrows and I was so scared of full glam looks, but Briana created a makeup look that felt true to me and I still felt/looked like myself on my wedding day. The shimmerandspice studio for makeup trials is so cute and clean, and their team is extremely communicative and easy to work with. Briana made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I would recommend her to any bride! -

I’m so incredibly grateful to Dani and Briana for taking such amazing care of me and my wedding party’s makeup. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and all I heard throughout the day were wonderful compliments about the both of them. A special shoutout to Briana for going the extra mile with touch-ups—since we had so many first looks and portraits before the ceremony we were able to add additional time to our timeline. It was an emotional afternoon, and she truly saved us from worrying about our makeup holding up. She ensured we all felt flawless heading into the ceremony.
Dani was an absolute pleasure to work with. She listened attentively to what I wanted and created the soft glam look I was hoping for while ensuring I still felt like myself. I felt so beautiful and confident, and the makeup lasted all night. My entire wedding party loved working with them—they were both so kind and easy to talk to. I can’t wait to see the pictures from our photographer because me and everyone else felt absolutely beautiful!
I had a party of 10, and my wedding party included a diverse range of skin tones. Dani and Briana were incredible in ensuring everyone’s makeup matched perfectly, which is always appreciated. They were incredibly efficient, even staying ahead of schedule, which allowed us all to relax throughout the morning. There was no rushing or stressing, and we had the time to truly enjoy the day. Thank you both so much for helping make our wedding day even more special! -

Siobhan Sent on 07/15/2024Great Experience with Shimmer & Spice
I recently had the pleasure of working with Shimmer & Spice for my September 2023 wedding.
Hailey was our lead artist and Ashley was our associate artist. They were both great! They provided makeup for myself, my bridal party of five, my sister, and two moms, all of whom have different ages, styles, comfort levels with makeup, and skin tones.
From start to finish, Hailey and Ashley were professional, punctual, incredibly kind, and such a fun presence the morning of the wedding. They took the time to understand each person's preferences and comfort levels, ensuring everyone felt and looked their best.
Kristyn, the owner, is also wonderful! I was having some skin issues before the wedding and she went above and beyond to help me. The products she recommended to me have become staples in my routine. -

Shimmer and Spice did mines and my bridal party makeup, and did a phenomenal job! Meghan was extra patient, accomodated last minute requests and even dealt with difficult individuals. She was a true breath of fresh air for my getting ready part of the day! Thank you again for a seamless getting ready process! -

Andrea Sent on 11/24/2023Best Vibes and Makeup I’ve Ever Had!!
The Shimmer and Spice Team far exceeded my expectations!! Starting with my trial with Megan - her and Kristyn were so lovely to hang out with and get to know while I had some champagne and tried out my wedding look. Their store is so adorable and I chose to add on a custom lip color to bring on wedding day. This team was so fantastic with communication, sending me a timeline for day of over a month in advance and making all proposal updates super easy through their portal! Megan and the team were such a lovely presence on wedding day and made all of the girls look STUNNING! I loved my makeup so much, it was so light but still glam and truly just looked like an elevated version of myself which I really wanted instead of a ton of makeup that didn’t look like me. I would recommend this group to any bride looking to have good vibes on her day, excellent/no stress communication and a beautiful look that’s tailored to you!! -

Brittany Sent on 10/07/2023Best Makeup Artists
I found Shimmer and Spice on IG, loved everything I saw, and they did not disappoint! We could not have felt more lucky to have had Megan and Briana as our artists on my special day. They came prepared and stayed on schedule to get all 8 faces done on time and to perfection. We are a family that does not wear a ton of makeup, nor do we understand it at the slightest, which was a little intimidating. But these two took a natural approach with all of us and made us feel like ourselves but elevated to queen status! Not only am I completely confident in recommending these two based on their skills, talent and expertise, but we felt like we welcomed two long time friends into our house, which is exactly what you need and want on your big day.
Additionally, the communication leading up to the day, including some facetime with Megan, was beyond professional and comforting. THANK YOU! -

I knew I wanted to go with Shimmer and Spice for my makeup, and I am so happy I did! Megan was my lead artist, and she was amazing! My makeup made me feel so beautiful, and she took into consideration all of the changes I had made from my trial. Ashley was our second artist, and my sisters were so impressed by her makeup, they felt so beautiful as well. They both made us all feel so comfortable, and everyone was laughing and having a great time! The communication before the day was so easy and they were very organized. I could not have asked for a better experience, thank you so much! -

Rachael Sent on 07/31/2023The best!!
I'm SO glad we used Shimmer and Spice for our wedding! I don't usually wear much make up and knew I wanted a natural look, but was originally nervous because any other time I'd gotten my make up done in the past it never felt like "me". My trial with Kristyn was the first time I actually LOVED my make up and was excited about it! Kristyn was AMAZING all around - she also helped me with products since I was trying to learn, made a custom lip color that I loved, and continued to check in and offer help with the products I bought. In addition, my mom has very sensitive skin and Kristyn helped her over the phone too. My mom had gotten reactions to her make up the last 3 times she had it done but not at my wedding! Kristyn and the entire Shimmer and Spice team were great to work with. Of course my bridesmaids looked amazing too! If I need my make up done in the area again, I'll be asking Kristyn! -

I had a great experience with Darian and Shimmer & Spice. I wanted a very natural look for my wedding and Darian did not disappoint. She was very easy to work with and my other bridesmaids who got their makeup done were very happy too. Would recommend! -

Rachel Sent on 05/21/2023Natural Glam from an Above & Beyond Team
The Shimmer and Spice team was superb to work with for my wedding! I wanted a natural look that made me feel like myself but that still had a bit of glam and wow to it, specifically a glam eye. Darian hit it out of the park. She was so easy to work with and knew exactly what my skin needed to look perfect. I also have a gluten allergy, something that phases a lot of makeup artists, but not Darian. She went above and beyond, researching to make sure each product was safe for my skin. The team uses a different set of brushes for each girl, which was also really nice. Maria joined Darian on the day of and between both of them, everyone looked amazing. My SIL gave birth 6 days before the wedding and Maria even took extra time to make her feel and look amazing, despite her exhaustion. -

Hailey created the bridal makeup look of my dreams!!! The style turned out exactly as I envisioned and held for the entire night. The rest of the wedding party's makeup was such a perfect blend of natural with elevated glam. I'm so glad I booked Shimmer and Spice! -

Kaylie Sent on 05/15/2023Awesome team for wedding!
Shimmer and Spice was an amazing vendor to work with leading up to and on the day of my wedding. The team was extremely responsive and easy to work with! On the day of the wedding we had Megan as the lead stylist and she was great - she captured exactly what I was looking for makeup wise. I couldn't recommend the team more! -

Anna Sent on 05/03/2023Natural and beautiful make-up
It was very important to me to look like a subtly glamorous version of myself on my wedding day. Shimmer and Spice achieved this look not only for me but for all of my bridal party.
I had contacted Shimmer and Spice after endlessly scrolling through the Philadelphia area Instagram wedding inspo and realizing their company was the make-up artists for most of the weddings where I noticed the bride's make-up.
On the day of my wedding, Shimmer and Spice arrived on time and stayed on schedule. I was concerned that we would fall behind due to the number of people (10 of us!) requiring hair/make-up, but their professionalism and expertise made for an easy day.
I can't thank Kristyn and her team enough for making my wedding day extra special and highly recommend them for make-up services, especially if you are looking for a beautiful, elevated version of yourself.
Thanks again, ladies!

Diana Sent on 11/26/2022Loved these ladies!!
Our girls from Shimmer and Spice were incredible! Maggie was our lead artist and was so personable, professional, and overall just FUN to work with. Everyone loved their "natural glam" looks and truly felt themselves, but with that added makeup glow that no one can manage on their own for a wedding! Cannot recommend them enough. They were such an instrumental part of making our wedding day run smoothly and keep the positive energy going! -

Lucy Sent on 11/02/2022SO talented! Hire Shimmer and Spice 🤍
Shimmer and Spice is incredible! My mom and I were both nervous for our trials but after meeting Darian felt completely at ease. She is so sweet and extremely talented. On the day of my wedding I felt amazing. I could not have been more happy with my makeup. My bridesmaids, most of who have been in many weddings before, commented they never had makeup done for a wedding that they actually loved. Shimmer and Spice is truly so talented and good at what they do and I would absolutely recommend them. -

I loved working with Megan and the Shimmer and Spice Team. Megan did make-up for my mom, sisters, mother in law, and me. We all felt so beautiful even on our 90+ degree wedding day. She was so easy to work with and we all felt gorgeous! Highly highly recommend! -

Beth Sent on 10/04/2022Lovely work & lovely to work with!
My sister used Shimmer & Spice for her wedding, and as a bridesmaid, I LOVED my make-up. I had gotten my make-up done before, but that was the first time I felt like myself. Shimmer & Spice was one of the first vendors I booked when I was planning my wedding and they were a dream to work with. I’m not a make-up girl in my everyday life, so I didn’t know exactly what look I wanted and Darian was so helpful in really taking the time in our trial to change things based on my feedback. Darian and Rhonda both worked serious magic and everybody was getting compliments all day long - if you are looking for soft, natural glam … book Shimmer & Spice!! -
