    So far - great!

    My wedding isn't until 10/6/19 - but I've talked with Susie a few times, and we have already done my trail run (which is included in your cost! Not a lot of wedding make up artists offer the same!) and she was VERY flexible with my schedule (and having to bring my 2 kids with me). She did a great job and we both talked about what I wanted and she did a GREAT job on my trail! Can't wait for the big day! I know she's going to make me feel like a million bucks!! :)

    Hire this woman! Don't look anywhere else!

    Susie is SO amazing. Seriously. If you are looking for a makeup/hair artist for your wedding or event, please do not look any further than Susie. Her attention to detail, her talent, her willingness to go above and beyond is SO appreciated. She listens to you at your trial to really understand what you like and don't like when it comes to makeup. She doesn't use Airbrush which was a huge selling point for me. I don't like a lot of makeup on. I wanted to look like me and I wanted my natural freckles to come through - something that would be covered up by Airbrush. Susie knows what she's doing. She's a professional that works on shoots when she isn't doing makeup. For my wedding she had just undergone shoulder surgery and still showed up to do my makeup (the bride), two moms, one grandma, and 7 bridesmaids. She is worth every damn penny. On top of perfecting every girl's makeup, she traveled with us to the venue, and stayed right by my side until i walked down the aisle. She was fixing my hair as i was linking arms with my dad right before the doors opened to make my entrance. When I think back to my wedding, Susie will always be someone I think of that made my day so special and worry-free.

    A+++++. Susie is absolutely amazing. The make-up that she did for my engagement shoot and the wedding were out of this world. I have never seen someone as talented as her. In addition, she went above and beyond the day of the wedding and helped fluff my dress before walking down the aisle and assisted the groomsmen with the boutonnieres. I am beyond blessed to have found her for my wedding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Ladies, she's the BEST!!! Due to my Asian features, no one and I mean no one in my 41 years can do my makeup. I got so lucky with Susie it was like on Lottery level! She's professional, nice, easy to work with, patient and just freaking filled with artistic talent and trust me not many are out there. We all call her Miss Bobby Brown at this point, not only she has trained with Bobbie Brown for years, She has also worked with her!! Susie does models, celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and John Voight just to name a few.
    The moment we communicated it was like all the stars aligned. Our trial went extremely smoothly with make up and hair, no re-dos.
    The day of the wedding we were all right on time without feeling rushed. I received a ton of compliments and most importantly my photos turned out great due to her skills. Susie, thank you so much, I am so blessed to have had you at my wedding and anyone is lucky to have you on their team and to have you beautified them like you did with me! Love you long time!!!

    Susie is the best! She is loving and kind and truly cares about making you and any other women in your wedding look and feel beautiful. Susie stayed with me until Dad grabbed my arm and walked me down the isle. I highly recommend her! -Tori

    Susie was absolutely incredible! She did 10 girls' makeup and everyone looked stunning. I could not be more happy with how everyone looked - including myself! Susie was so accommodating and calming in what can be a stressful day. She is so personable and genuinely cares about her work. She stayed with me up until I walked out to meet my parents to walk me down the aisle - checking my makeup right before I turned the corner. She is an absolute delight to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

    Susie was absolutely amazing!! She was so approachable, responsive, and flexible when it came to exactly what i wanted on my big day! I have never felt so beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Also, the fact that she came with us to the venue and stayed around for touch ups and pretty much anything she could do to help leading up to the ceremony was just a huge bonus! She was just absolutely amazing and has incredible talent! Love love love her and would recommend her to any future brides!

    Susie was fantastic! From the very first email I had with her all the way through to the wedding, you could tell she really loves her job and cares about her brides. She did the makeup for myself, my 3 bridesmaids and my mom, and everyone looked gorgeous! She really listened to what everyone wanted, and made sure we were happy with everything. She even came with us to the venue, did touch ups during our pictures, and stayed all the way up until the ceremony. She was a calming presence leading up to the ceremony, and was always making sure I was ok. I cannot recommend Susie enough!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about Susie. Not only did she go our of her way to make my trial work with my schedule, but she was a dream to work with. She looked at several pictures of what I wanted and then tailored those looks for me. We also followed up after my trial about a couple of things we wanted to change before the wedding day.

    On the wedding day, Susie was a lifesaver. Not only did she effortlessly make my makeup amazing along with my mother's and sister's makeup, but she also helped all of bridesmaids touch up the makeup that they did on their own. I even found out later that Susie sewed up the strap on a flower girl dress that broke. Seriously, she went above and beyond the call of duty that day to make sure that it was stress free for me (despite that it was unexpectedly pouring down rain and our wedding was supposed to be outdoors).

    Hire Susie. She is worth every penny. Her work is amazing, and she will make your wedding day stress free.

    Susie was great! She did my makeup just like I asked without ever pressuring me to do something I wasn't comfortable with. She had quick responses to all my questions and helped make getting ready a fun and calm atmosphere

    Susie is hands down the most genuine, incredibly skilled, and truly phenomenal makeup artist you will come across. I contacted a few women to consider for my H&MU on my wedding day and it took me less then 2 seconds after opening Susies email before I made my decision. She was so welcoming and I felt that she had an invested interest in my special day. It takes a powerful woman to do that via email.

    We had a trial run a month or so before my wedding day. I wanted a more natural tone since I don't wear makeup very often. She did a phenomenal job and I was truly impressed. I loved that the makeup felt light as if I wasn't wearing anything.

    On the big day Susie and her hair specialist (Tuesdee) came to our hotel bright and early in the morning! She had to power through almost 8 women in a matter of hours but truly hit rock star status with everyone. I never heard one complaint, but there was a lot of chatting and laughing as we drank mimosas and ate breakfast pastries. Once it was time to head to the church Susie met the bridesmaids and I there and touched up ALL of our make up one final time!!!!

    Seriously, if you are still looking for someone to do your H&MU contact Susie she will blow you away with kindness and a refreshing attitude. She helped make my wedding day truly spectacular and I have zero complaints.

    Good luck on your journey! I hope you have a beautiful wedding day.

    Susie is incredible! I wanted to look like I was wearing makeup but still remain natural--and the final product was perfect. She is a dream to work with--so talented and an incredibly kind person. During my bridals (outside and in August) I was feeling faint and she left the shoot to buy everyone water and snacks. Then before the wedding, she even did my grandma's makeup to help her feel included as we got ready. I am so fortunate that Susie did my makeup for both my bridals and wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!

    I contacted Susie just two weeks before my wedding day! There was an unfortunate situation where my previous artist was no longer available and Susie came to my rescue! I'm so glad she did! Susie was such a blessing and so wonderful to work with! She will ensure that you feel beautiful and takes your worries away on your wedding day. She was there bright and early to meet me for my morning wedding and even stayed to retouch my hair and makeup after my first look pictures and until I was down the aisle! My hair and makeup was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! She is very good at what she does and goes above and beyond! Susie will not let you down and I highly recommend her!

    Susie Uphues is an outstanding makeup artist/stylist! Susie did my hair and makeup for my bridal portraits and wedding! I was extremely happy with my look as well as that of my bridal party. Susie was able to highlight everyone's best features in a natural, elegant way. Our hair and makeup lasted throughout the night and looked amazing in our photographs! The best thing about Susie and her team, however, was their professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond to make my day perfect! Thank you Suze! You are the best!!!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this lady. I not only hired Susie as my make up artist the day of my wedding, I also have the pleasure of doing hair for her on a regular basis. Susie's make up is without a doubt the most gorgeous I've ever seen.
    She adores her brides and is always there to help with anything that should come your way. I've seen her remove stains out of dresses, lace up corsets, and she even bustled mine when we couldn't figure it out.
    Her make up is phenomenal and she is a must-have for your big day! XoXo

    Susie Gray Uphues was recommended by our event planner and she did not steer us wrong. Susie's make-up artistry was amazing! The bride, the bridesmaids and the mothers looked stunning in the wedding pictures. She was a true professional and very creative. Susie provided a clever tool (designed herself) to help us with buttoning or unbuttoning the bride's dress. With Susie, the bride receives attention to detail; she assisted us with the gown, the veil, the shoes, the jewelry......the brides entire appearance. You get the whole package with Susie!

    Susie was the absolute sweetest to work with! She listened to what I wanted and had the best stories to tell while she did my hair and makeup exactly as I wanted!! She was on time, easy to contact and fun!! You are with her for hours before your big day and she is a ray of sunshine to have around on your wedding day!!!

    I love Susie and will use her again for any big event I need to be all dolled up to go to!!

    Working with Susie was an absolute dream!

    Firstly, I have to say there is a vast, VAST amount of vendors to go through when one decides to tie the knot - and finding Susie is like striking gold. The relief of knowing you are in good hands cannot be overstated. It is immensely relaxing. During my entire wedding day I didn't have a single worry as to how my hair looked or whether I was going to take a good photo. There was no need, I knew just from my trial session with Susie that I was going to feel beautiful and love my photos - and I absolutely did!

    I was so impressed by how effortlessly she works - and how she completely understood what I was going for. We had a nice chat about my likes. I showed her several pictures of different looks which she expertly sifted through and explained the key features of each. She then sat me down in her chair and just nailed it, to a T, on the first try. My hair was transformed in a way I never thought possible! -especially as I had just had it cut a tad shorter than I wanted, but to Susie this was nothing! She even recommended an amazing color specialist who gave me the best highlights at a great price.

    On the day, Susie made my sister and I beautiful and even helped us do a last bit of outfit coordinating. Susie's experience on photo and video shoots makes her advice invaluable and she helped us (and the boys too) absolutely shine. Getting ready was nothing but fun - Susie is great company and makes you feel like you've been friends for ages.

    I've heard many a story of wedding day stresses. I am confident that my blissful day was thanks to having truly wonderful professionals like Susie by my side. I can't thank her enough!!!

    Susie was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! She worked with me so much, even when I changed my mind a couple of times after the makeup was applied. I wasn't really sure what look I wanted because I don't normally wear makeup and she kept tweaking it until it was just PERFECT! I love how I looked on my wedding. It was elegant, yet natural at the same time. I was afraid at first that I would look "fake" with a lot of makeup caked on but it wasn't like that at all. She also did my wedding hair and that came out absolutely perfect as well. I gave her some extensions to put in my hair for length and volume and she did an amazing job of blending it all in together, you couldn't even tell it wasn't my hair :). We also had her do the hair for FIVE flower girls and the makeup for my mother in law and she did a beautiful job on that as well. She was at my wedding venue for hours and never once complained about anything or seemed annoyed. She even went above and beyond and helped me fix little things on my dress, she had thread and needles and clothes tape on hand and was able to do a few small, last-minute fixes that I am forever grateful for! She really made me look and feel so beautiful and I am recommending her to anyone I know who is getting married in the Dallas area.

    Susie was absolutely amazing!!! I felt like such a princess on my wedding day. All of my bridesmaids loved their make up as well. I would not go to anyone else if I needed make up in the future. She was such a pleasure to work with and the lady she brought to do our hair blew me away!! I highly recommend anyone who needs makeup done to call Susie!!

    Susie was AWESOME! I was stressed at my bridal portraits because it was humid, but she stayed with me the entire time and touched me up between every shot. She made me feel so beautiful and calm on my wedding day. I highly recommend her for your big day. It doesn't get better than Susie!

    I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup stylist! Susie was soo great! Not only did she do an amazing job on my hair and makeup, but she took such good care of me the whole time. She was so willing to work with me to find the best look for me, and when we did my bridal portraits, she stayed the entire time to do touchups. It made such a huge difference in how my pictures turned out! And then on the day of the wedding, she stayed at the church until I walked down the aisle, making sure I was calm and comfortable and looking great. She even ended up touching up some of my bridesmaids hair for free while we were waiting. She was so easy to talk to, so professional, and so much fun! I highly recommend Susie!

    Susie and Vetty did an amazing job on all my girls' hair and makeup! As one of my gifts to them I was more than impressed with her talent and sense of humor while listening to all of us gab on the day of. Susie also did my make up for my engagement photos as well as the wedding day. I'm not a girly girl and she made me and my groom cry with how beautiful she made me. Love her!!

    I planned my wedding in Texas while I was living in Illinois and came across Susie's profile on a website. I sent her an email and immediately she replied back with a list of services and prices for me to consider. We corresponded through email and when I decided to do a trial run with Susie, she was so accommodating. I came to Texas over Christmas and Susie invited me into her home for a trial hair and make-up run (no cost!) and she did such an awesome job of making me feel comfortable, and beautiful! We actually didn't have time to finish all of my hair so Susie came to my house the next day and did my hair again.

    On my wedding day Susie and her hair-doing friend Tuesdee were both such a great pair. Myself, my bridal party, and my mom all got either hair and/or make up from Susie and Tuesdee and they made it so much fun! My pictures turned out beautiful because of what they did for us and if I ever decided to get my makeup professionally done, I know who I'll be using!

    Did I forget to mention that Susie also hand stitched my belt so that it fit me? And that she stayed until my first look and I walked down the isle to make sure my lips were shining with lip gloss?? I mean, she's awesome, why look anywhere else?

    Susie did a wonderful job not only on my hair and makeup, but for my bridal party as well. She also took the time out to go with me for my bridal portraits to constantly adjust things and make sure that ever hair was perfectly in place and add any make up as needed.
    All of my pictures came out beautiful because of the amazing job that she did. She was not only a great vendor choice, but a really fun and down to earth person that any bride would want by her side on her big day. I could not have asked for a better person.
    Thanks again Susie for everything!!

    From start to finish, I was extremely happy with the work that Susie did for my wedding. She really went above and beyond my expectations. After doing all of our make up at the hair salon, she came to the wedding venue and did touch ups before the ceremony for all the bridesmaids and myself. She also helped with hair touch ups, putting my veil on, and was with me all the way until I walked down the aisle. I felt beautiful at my wedding and I am so glad that I had Susie as my make up artist!

    I booked Susie for my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and my wedding day. For my engagement photos, she was so flexible. She was actually booked for a wedding on the same day as my engagement photos, but she agreed to let me meet her early in the morning before she left to go to the wedding. I was a little concerned with how well everything would hold up since my engagement pictures weren't until later that afternoon, but whatever she does...it stays! Our engagement pictures turned out amazing! The next time I got to work with Susie was for my bridal portraits. Now, I just thought she made me look gorgeous the previous 2 times she had worked on me...but with the bridal portraits, it was like she stepped it up a notch or something because I was even a tad shocked when I received my bridal portraits. Susie seriously went above and beyond at the bridal portraits...she helped me carry my dress, suggested poses, helped touch up my makeup/hair, etc....she truly made me feel like a lil model for the day! :)

    Now, on to the wedding day....Since I had 6 bridesmaids and they all wanted their make up done as did my mother and my mother in law, Susie primarily worked on makeup only and brought in a friend of hers to do hair. I don't know how other makeup artists are on the day of the wedding, but Susie came to our hotel and got us all ready and rather than just leaving to go back home after she'd finished her job...she came with us to the chapel and continued to touch people up as needed. I loved that she stayed with me and kept me calm all the way up until the moment when I walked down the aisle with my daddy!

    I have only GREAT things to say about Susie and if I could give her 100 stars, I would. I plan on booking her in the future for any kind of photography or event where I feel I should look my very best! (if she's available, of course ;) Seriously, people...you can't go wrong with Susie! She will make you look ah-mazing!!!

    I cannot thank Susie enough for making me look and feel my best on my wedding day! She completely transformed me into the “bride” that I always envisioned on my big day yet my makeup wasn’t too over-the-top…I still looked like myself…just a more beautiful version of me. Susie also did makeup for my mom and bridesmaids. To this day, weeks after our wedding, I still receive compliments each day from our guests on just how beautiful my bridal party looked. Although we started getting ready at 5 a.m., we made fun and unforgettable memories. (Thanks to Susie!). Susie is simply the BEST makeup artist in town! I thank GOD for sending her to me during my search.

    Susie also did a miracle job with my hair during my trial run and on my bridal portrait day. She was able to easily replicate an updo to the exact image that I showed her from a magazine, an updo which I thought was impossible with my heavy and coarse hair. Needless to say, I absolutely loved and adored the updo! Susie possesses a natural talent in making anyone look beautiful and stunning. Her extensive industry experience is easily evidenced in her work.

    Apart from being an elite artist in the industry, Susie is friendly, cheerful and bubbly. She’s fun to be around. Susie is one of the sweetest, kind and true people I know. She is beautiful inside and out. She listens to you and cares about you. Her brides are not merely a number or a client, but a friend. She stayed with me in my bridal suite and made sure I was okay until it was time for me to walk down the aisle. She even went above and beyond offering me artistic advice in other aspects of my wedding. She is punctual, responsive and professional. Susie has high standard for perfection which shows in the quality of her work. I cannot give her enough praises.

    Susie’ website does not do her justice for the gem she is. I would strongly and highly recommend Susie to any bride or anyone who needs makeup artistry service! You would not be disappointed!!!

    Now, when all’s left from my wedding are pictures and wonderful memories, I am not only grateful for the amazing job Susie did for me but more importantly, blessed for gaining a friend like her during my wedding planning, a gift that lasts a lifetime.

    Suisie was absolutely AMAZING!!! All of my bridesmaids and family loved her too. She's extremley talented and turned me into a princess. I've never felt more beautiful, thanks to her! She also helped my bridesmaids get me into my dress so I wouldn't get makeup on my white dress. She helped pin the ring bearer's flower on his tux, and did touch ups right before the ceremony. She definitely went above and beyond. I also noticed that my makeup stayed on through everything! I laughed, cryed, and layed my check on my dad's black tux durring our dance, and my makeup didn't budge, swear, or get on his tux. She also sugguested the hair stylest that I used, Melissa Lyons who was awesome as well. Thank you sooooo much for everything Susie and congrats on your new grandbaby!!!!

    Susie,
    Where do I even begin to thank you! We met seven years ago when you did the makeup for my wedding and I felt so beautiful!!! So when it came time for my sister to get married her one request was to track Susie down for makeup! Steph got married July 23rd and you reset her expectation of beauty! She was breathtaking! You are one of the most genuine people I have met, a true beauty! Thank you so much for making my sister's day special. My mom looked gorgeous and I felt amazing! We were "Susiefied!”
    A million thanks!

    Having Susie come to my house for my wedding was one of the best decisions that I made. It was so relaxing getting ready in my house rather in some random hair/makeup studio. Everyone was thrilled with their makeup! She even came to the chapel to freshen up everyone's makeup right before the ceremony started. Susie is an extremely talented makeup artist and you would be a fool not to hire her!

    Susie- I don't even know where to start! Thank you so much for making my wedding day so amazing. I felt beautiful and so did all the bridesmaids and mothers. Your work is incredible and all of us got comments about how great our makeup looked. You’re so talented at what you do and you gave me that extra bit of confidence to walk down that aisle with all those people watching. What I really want to thank you for is how patient, kind, supportive and understanding you were through out the day. I was so stressed and nervous and you put all of us at ease. When I hired a makeup artist I didn't know I would get someone who would help calm me before I walked down the aisle! I know you had plans that evening, but you always made me your first priority and never even for a second made me feel rushed. You’re a wonderful make up artist and an even more amazing person! I just feel so blessed to have met you. Thank you a hundred times over! You made my day amazing and I just can't put into words how much I appreciate everything you did for me and my wedding party.

    Susie Gray is an amazing artist. My daughter and I tried other make-up artist, but no one compared to Susie. She listens to what "look" you want--heavy application or subtle application, then she will give you her expert advice as to what she believes will give you the best look. The results are amazing.

    Her products are great! Our make-up remained fresh and beautiful the entire afternoon and evening of my daughter's wedding day.

    She is a true professional! Flexible, dependable, confident, invaluable to all of her clients!!

    Susie was great! She worked with me on meeting times and did an excellent job on my bridal pictures and wedding day. I got so many compliments, Susie had a lot to do with that. I was also shocked by how well the makeup stayed on. I cried, I laughed and shed a few more happy tears. It was an amazing day and my makeup looked great all night! I highly recommend her...

    I would recommend Susie to anyone wanting perfection. She is a very friendly person with a huge heart and has skills in the beauty department. She was a part of the Wedding Party Studio and Operation Once In A Lifetime whom selected us for a wedding of a lifetime. On our wedding day September 9, 2009 she did an absolutely wonderful job on my makeup and hair I wish I could have her around every day!!!
    She is also very easy to be around and helpful, which I would imagine any bride would love to have that on their big day! Thanks Susie, I will never forget that day!!

I would definitely HIGHLY recommend Susie to anyone. She is the absolute best hands down and you won't regret it!! I certainly didn't.

    Susie made me look absolutely stunning for my bridals and my wedding! She was also very flexible with my bridesmaids and helped them with their hair even though that wasn't the plan. Though I didn't know what to expect when it came to my bridal shoot, she amazed me. Not only did I look fantastic, but she stayed with me for the entire shoot doing touch ups and "fixing" me for hours! I LOVE SUSIE so much!!!!

    Susie was amazing- she spent so much time that every $ was worth it. She did my daughters makeup for her portrait, then went with us to the studio, and to Dallas Arboretum and kept touching up her makeup. The day of the wedding she did makeup for 5 including the bride, then stayed with us and touched up makeup and hair until we walked down the aisle. She was very responsive to what each of us liked and wanted and was so calm! She trained with Bobbi Brown and does makeup for photo shoots and I loved her! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

    Susie Gray is an AmAzInG make-up artist! I would highly recommend her for your big day. She is fun to work with and listens to your requests. Susie not only did my make-up, but also my entire bridal party and mom. Everyone was SO excited about how their make-up turned out. She made us all look good :)
