Emily was able to do help us out last minute with make-up for a wedding. She was professional and kind and most importantly listened to the bride on exactly what she wanted. Would 100 % use Emily again for our next event.

Emily did a perfect job of our makeup for my sister’s wedding at The English Manor in Ocean, NJ. She asked the right questions about the look each person wanted and listened to us, delivering the beautiful and desired looks for the day. She was communicative and flexible in the days leading up to the wedding. I cannot say enough about her expertise and professionalism. She made each of us look pretty and photo ready. Thank you Emily!

Emily from the very moment we connected on the app, was very professional, accessible, responded immediately and continued to do so till the day of the appointment. I loved my make-up and so did my daughter-in-law. I would definitely recommend her.

had a great experience working with her! She did my makeup for my save-the-date photos, and I absolutely loved how it turned out. The look was exactly what I wanted natural but still glam. She was also super nice, professional, and very organized, I would definitely recommend her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge fair prices already, asking me to charge less is not fair to me. If you have multiple people I will alter the price!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to know what the customer has in mind. Do they have any reference photos? I will tell you the truth if it is something that is not my strongest skill (like full skeleton face makeup!) and I welcome questions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 5 years in now. I started in high school theater. I went to makeup school in NYC and have freelanced for over a year now.
