Hiring Makeup by Mary K Engle was the best decision I made, I am extremely pleased with every aspect of my hair and makeup! I am 6 months postpartum with my first child so I’ve been feeling stressed, exhausted and ugly. For my brother’s wedding, I really wanted the freedom to just relax, enjoy the experience, yet feel glamorous. Mary was able to help me in every aspect, exceeding my expectations. She was flexible with some last minute time changes after I learned family portraits were before the ceremony. She arrived 2 hours earlier to accommodate this change, we finished by 10:30am, and I was at the wedding from 12pm-9pm. She used airbrush and false lashes, which truly elevated the vibe I was going for. Mary left me with extra foundation and lip stain to reapply as needed throughout the day, but I didn’t even need to use it! The makeup lasted ALL evening. Also, when I removed the makeup, my skin felt so soft and healthy! The hair? Also lasted ALL evening. She gave me extra bobby pins but I forgot them!!!! I was so worried about strands falling out, but they never did! She curled my hair before putting it up in case I wanted to take it down at any point, so I could still look marvelous, which I did the following day to enjoy two days of awesome hair. I couldn’t believe that my long, thick hair remained up for more than 11 1/2 hours of dancing, moving, and maneuvering baby grabs. Mary is just all around very thoughtful, professional, and truly skilled in her work. Mary was so responsive every step of the way I never had to wait more than a day to hear from her, even when she had suffered a loss in the family - she still responded immediately. My mother hired a different company (the bride’s pick) for her hair and makeup on-site, paying a similar amount, but her lashes didn’t make it all night and neither did her hair. Her experience made me even more grateful for my choice of going with Mary, as I didn’t have to worry about any of these things, plus I was able to get ready in the comfort of our own home. I could truly just focus on enjoying the day while still looking better than I ever have in my entire life, receiving more compliments than I could keep track of. I will definitely reach out to Mary again for any other formal events. I couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone trying to pick that right person, she’s phenomenal!

We hired Katie to do make up for the bride and hair for the bride, mothers , and a grandmother. Katie arrived early and was completely prepared. She did a wonderful job on a natural glam make up look for my daughter, the bride, and was spot on with giving a time line for each hairdo. She was very friendly and congenial. No complaints.

She was incredible! She supported me through quite an ordeal with another makeup artist. Myself, my mom, and all my bridesmaids looked amazing on my wedding day. Her hair stylist was so sweet and as a team they worked so hard to keep us on schedule. My hair and makeup held up all day long in 90 degree heat and I have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful I look in photos. I felt so gorgeous on my wedding and day. Thank you doesn't cover it! Hire her and thank me later!
