I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TEN TIMES OVER

“Emily did my makeup for my wedding back in September 2022. It was me, two moms and four bridesmaids. She was on time and ready to take on the day with us. I can’t thank her enough for making my bridal party and myself feel so beautiful for the best day of my life”.
