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”.

THEY CREATED MAKEUP LOOKS THAT WERE NOTHING SHORT OF STUNNING!
I cannot recommend Emily and her team enough! From the very beginning, they were warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. On my wedding day, they created makeup looks that were nothing short of stunning. Every member of my bridal party looked and felt amazing.
Emily has an incredible eye for detail and really listened to what each of us wanted, enhancing our natural beauty without ever feeling overdone. The makeup lasted beautifully all day and night, through happy tears and hours of dancing.
Thank you, Emily, for being such a lovely, calming presence and for helping to make my day so special. You and your team were truly a joy to work with!

SHE IS ATTENTIVE, KIND AND BEYOND TALENTED.
I got married January 4, 2025, and I was very honored to have Emily as my MUA for one of the best days of my life. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her face to face on my trial. And I literally cried after the reveal. I knew I made the best decision choosing her bc she listened to every little thing I said and made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. On my wedding day I had zero stress knowing she would recreate the look from the trial that brought me to tears. And it honestly came out even better. Emily + her team made myself and my girls feel and look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and I highly recommend her for any event! She is attentive, kind, + beyond talented. I am looking forward to using her services again in the future!
