  Jules is incredible!

  To put it simply, Jules is absolutely incredible. When considering multiple makeup artists for my wedding day, it was hard to find someone that not only listened but also gave great recommendations on how to prep before the day of and which shades/colors would like the best with a fair skin tone. Jules made me feel so beautiful, calmed my nerves the day of and made sure I loved every color, shade and style of the makeup. I'm so grateful for her - she not only calmed my nerves on my wedding day, she made me feel like a movie star. Thank you Jules!

  Look no further!

  Rosie did a phenomenal job on my makeup for my wedding. I don’t wear a lot of makeup at all so I was afraid of looking weird with bridal makeup. She did a natural look that enhanced my features and I could not have been more satisfied! Rosie and her assistant showed up on time (wedding was early!) and got through 6 girls with a little time to spare! They were both friendly and a pleasure to work with!
  Booking was convenient and easy. Jules is incredibly friendly and thorough. I highly recommend The Luminous Bride, you will not be disappointed!

  Best Makeup Artist EVER

  Where do I even begin with Jules?! In addition to being unbelievably kind, warm, and cool, she created a makeup look for my wedding that was everything I'd been dreaming of (and then some). I still looked like myself, but just with the perfect level of glam : ) And also -- the looks she created for my MOH, MOTB, and MIL?! Stunning. I'm still not over how incredible they all looked. She goes above and beyond, and was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish -- I can't thank (or recommend) Jules enough!

  Truly a make up artist!

  Jules is such a pro and truly an artist in every way. I was so lucky to have found her for my wedding this September. We quickly planned our big day and Jules was super flexible with scheduling and figured out how to come to me for my make up trial in advance of the wedding. She listened to what I wanted to look like and helped with my skincare regimen leading up to the wedding day. She is also an expert at men's grooming and my husband was lucky enough to benefit from some of her tips on how to style his beard, plus she packed products for his day of prep as well. She is so thoughtful and so good at what she does! My mom also has super sensitive skin and eyes, and I have never seen her look so gorgeous, young and comfortable in her own skin. My entire wedding party loved having Jules! I can't recommend her enough.

  Hired Jules twice and would again!

  We worked with Jules for both our 2020 minimony and 2021 full wedding/reception, and if we decided to have a third wedding, I’d hire her again!
  
  For both events, Jules showed up early with all necessary equipment—face masks, ring lights, tall makeup chairs, assistant, and a giant case of make up, of course. Jules set a schedule for all of the women getting their faces done and stuck to it. She even had time for touch ups right before the main event. Plus, she was super fun to chat with on our (slightly!) stressful wedding mornings and was a calming presence amid all of the chaos.
  
  When we first booked her in 2020, we hadn’t had the chance to have a trial. Jules immediately made me feel comfortable, asking about my makeup style and skin type. She looked at inspiration photos as well as photos of how I typically wear makeup. Her suggestions were excellent, especially when I couldn’t decide how bold to go for my lip color.
  
  Jules’ work looked incredible both in-person and in all of our photos and lasted all day (2020) and all through the night, sweaty dancing included! (2021). She’s a real professional and a joy to work with and I truly cannot recommend her enough.

  Love! Hire her!

  It's difficult to know where to start in terms of how absolutely fantastic Jules and Courtney were for my wedding. From the beginning Jules was extremely knowledgeable, warm, professional, and available in the months leading up to our wedding. I was nervous about getting my make-up done as I am not one to usually wear makeup, but Jules was so funny and calming during our trial and the day-of that it was really such a delight to work with her. She made me feel really heard and did a truly phenomenal job with my make-up: it was natural, but still had a "pop" to it that made it feel special for the wedding. She also was extremely available between the trial and the wedding and always answered my emails and questions with grace and professionalism. She worked carefully on the logistics for our day so that everyone could get their hair and makeup done while also working with me on a shortened timeframe: I really didn't want to spend the whole day locked up in a room doing hair / make-up, and I felt like she really respected my desires and helped it become a reality. She also was flexible and calm on a day where weather concerns arose and resulted in some last-minute changes; she touched up my make-up and hair after some misty photos and was just generally a really good sport. We had a non-traditional wedding in the sense that I didn't have a wedding party and the many men in my life (including my husband) were around all afternoon to hang out, and not once did Jules or Courtney make me feel like that was weird in any capacity. I really appreciated that. I was actually SUPER anxious when my hair and make-up first started getting done and I needed to take a break to calm down. She and Courtney could not have been more calm or less judgmental about it, and that just was really, really helpful to me and really made me feel safe. Courtney did my hair and she could not have been funnier, calmer, or more professional. She tolerated me through two hair trials (I felt like I struggled to articulate what I wanted during the first one) and was extremely competent and talented. I loved how I looked that day, and how I felt, and that was all due to Jules and Courtney with their extreme talent, professionalism, and calming manners. Hire them! They are amazing! Thank you for helping make our wedding so special and relaxed.

  Cool, calm, talented make up artist

  Jules was a dream to work with leading up to and on our wedding day. Easy to communicate and coordinate with. She asked lots of the right questions to find out what I envisioned (even though I didn't feel like I totally knew) and perfectly matched my makeup to the overall style. Made the whole thing feel easy, and brought a sense of calm on the day - which I found important and so appreciated.

  Jules is an absolutely fabulous makeup artist and a wonderful person to work with. Not only did I have gorgeous results, but I also had a great time getting to know Jules and spending time with her on my wedding day. She is super down to earth, warm, and professional, and has a great sense of humor. I know what I like when I see it, but had a hard time describing what kind of look I envisioned for myself for the big day when we met for my makeup trial. Jules knew precisely what questions to ask to get to know my style, my personality, and the wedding setting/general vibe in order to create a look that was perfect for me and the day. I felt beautiful, confident, and relaxed as a result. I am so grateful to have had her expertise and talents with me for such a momentous occasion, and now I can't stop looking at the pictures:)

  Jules is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her presence and involvement in my wedding of course made me my most beautiful, physically, but her warmth, generosity of spirit, added that special experience and holistic feeling of being utterly taken care of that is part of the experience in hiring a professional on site make up artist for you and your bridal party. She is as patient and warm as she is talented. I recommend her without reservation if your budget allows. You'll look and feel beautiful and be utterly pampered and relaxed in having the luxury of Jules coming to you.
