Jessica did my both my makeup and my mom’s before a wedding! She was great to work with - my mom hadn’t really had makeup done so worked with her to get to a look she liked. Settled on a natural glam look and felt like she did an awesome job. Would definitely recommend :)

Jessica did mine and my moms makeup for three events for a family wedding. The results were absolutely beautiful! My makeup lasted through a ton of dancing for several hours. She was very responsive to preferences and provided ideas to achieve what we were looking for
