As you can imagine, finding a makeup artist was the part I was most worried about when booking vendors for my wedding. I didn't want my makeup to look too heavy or to not look like myself. I went with Grace due to all her amazing reviews and she was one of the best decisions I made. She was able to do hair and makeup for myself and 2 mothers, as well as makeup for 6 bridesmaids! Everything went according to schedule and everyone looked amazing. During my trial with her, she listened to my comments and tried different styles with me. On the day of, my up-do did not budge for the entire day and my makeup stayed as well, even in the summer heat. If I had to choose again, I would definitely go with Grace! She was amazing and super friendly at an extremely reasonable price. read more

Beauty With Grace - Makeup Artists Near Me

I highly recommend Grace for both hair and makeup. I hired her for my wedding in May 2017 to do hair and makeup for myself and four of my bridesmaids. Amongst the five ladies, she took a hr for each of the bridesmaids and 1.5 hr for myself. She was right on schedule for each of the ladies! Which is very much appreciated when the day is already so busy. I did a LOT of research before finding her and her rates are very reasonable compared to many others as she stayed with us from 7:30 AM through 6 PM- plus she traveled to New Rochelle, NY, without adding on travel fees. I like that her package included airbrush and false lashes as a lot of other places will charge these as add-ons to packages. We did a first reveal before the ceremony and Grace was with me during our photoshoot, she helped fix my hair and makeup during the photoshoot, including putting on and taking off my veil. She also did touch ups after the first photoshoot and again, after the ceremony! I did a makeup and hair trial with her in January 2017. I personally have watery eyes and can't wear certain eyeliners as they smudge easily on me. So she came back a second time to do another trial using a different eyeliner, without an additional cost, which she bought specifically for me (because of my watery eyes) and it stayed on all day. Also, the eyeliner stayed on throughout the whole wedding day as well (even though I cried a lot) so the trial is highly recommended. Overall, she's very friendly, open to working with your preferences, gives good advice and very professional!!! I highly recommend Grace, don't bother looking elsewhere. read more

Beauty With Grace - Photo taken by Grace- she did both hair and makeup for me! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Grace is wonderful! Just did a trial hair and makeup with her. She's talented and open to feedback I gave from the trial. Also gave great advice for skincare and prep for the big day. Fun to talk to as well and a busy mom, so if you book her, be understanding of her busy schedule. I admire her ability to juggle parenting while operating her own beauty business, especially during these unique times. Thank you so much Grace! Excited and grateful to have her be there for my big day. read more

I would highly recommend Grace to do makeup and hair! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and the bridesmaids makeup and my moms makeup and hair as well. I loved how she was able to capture our natural beauty and enhance it! She is truly talented! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and the girls loved it as well! She was able to do my moms hair and makeup and we were very impressed! My bridal party was very multicultural with Asian, African American and Latina, she knows how to make all of them beautiful. My hair was so beautiful as well! I showed her a picture and she knew what to do right away! I was deciding if I should apply a hair accessory but it was too big for my head, she was able to cut come pieces off from it and fit it beautifully to my head. My hair and makeup lasted the whole wedding and my sister was impressed that my curls lasted the whole night even when I was sweating! Grace was very punctual and came on time and she finished all the girls in a timely manner! Lets just say she was on point! She made me calm and comfortable. She was very professional, patient and friendly! If I had any special event I would utilize her services again! read more

Beauty With Grace - Amazing Hair & make-up! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Grace was recommended to me by my make up artist, Sachiko, to serve as a second make up artist on my wedding day. I had a 12pm wedding with 4 bridesmaids and two mothers needing hair and make up so we really needed a second makeup artist. I'm so glad to have been connected with Grace. Even though we were starting at 4am, she was early to set up her work area. She worked quickly and flawlessly and was able to recreate makeup and hairstyles to my bridesmaids requests. She is also able to do more mature looks and my mother in law was pleased with the end results. Grace has a higher end collection of make up and her rates are super affordable. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends for upcoming events. read more

How amazing and talented is Grace? Let me count the ways... I am SO grateful to have found Grace for our wedding banquet! She was so easy to communicate with and work with... her work is beautifully done... she uses great quality products... shes extremely timely and experienced... and she is so incredibly calm and amazing to have as a part of your day! Grace doesnt work under a salon and works for herself. So shes naturally a great travel and go stylist. She did our makeups in our hotel room before the wedding and was so organized and clean about everything. She did the hair and makeup for myself, 4 of my bridesmaids, two moms and a flower girl and everyone looked stunning! She really listens to what you want and our looks lasted through the whole night. I did a hair and makeup trial a few months before at my apartment in Brooklyn, and she did 3 different looks on me. I had no idea what I wanted to I went about telling her about how I go for more natural/less Kardasian but I still wanted to stand out at my wedding, and she did just that. We took photos too so we both knew what we were doing the big day... great planning. She even helps touch up my husbands hair that day haha! Im so grateful to have found her and Ive already recommended her to several friends and family. Trust me when I say, you cant go wrong! Things to know: Payment is in cash or check. Estimated time was 1 hour per bridesmaids and 1.5 for the bride. So calculate around that range. And yes, she does hair AND makeup :) read more

I first met Grace at my best friend's wedding. I was always concerned when getting my make-up done that I would look unnatural or that my face would get shiny overtime because I tend to sweat alot when I am dancing. Well that all changed when Grace introduced me to "airbrush" make-up and false lashes. My make-up was absolutely flawless the entire day and evening! After that, I knew I wanted Grace to be the make-up artist for my big day. A year later, it was my turn to get married and I had reached out to Grace right away! She was extremely responsive and very accommodating. We scheduled a make-up trial a few weeks prior to my wedding to make sure we mastered the look I was going for - simple & refined but enough to stand out and enhance my natural beauty. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and with Grace's help my dream wedding look came to life! Grace is such a talented artist and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! I can not thank her enough! read more

Beauty With Grace - Makeup Artists Near Me

Grace did an amazing job on my hair and make up for my American wedding and Chinese banquet. She was punctual and very professional. Grace also took my concerns (dark panda eyes and acne scarring) into consideration and executed my make up and hair flawlessly for both occasions. I will definitely request her services again for future events. read more

I found Grace through yelp and her great reviews led me to book her last minute. The MUA I booked to do my makeup for my best friends wedding cancelled last minute because she was offered a job for fashion week. I searched yelp for someone with the right reviews in my area and Grace popped up. I looked at her portfolio and knew she was the right person for the job. Her prices were fair and she did an amazing job!! I wanted a natural polished look and that's what she delivered! I felt very beautiful and I received plenty of compliments. Grace uses very high quality brand name products and arrived on time ready to work. She also made suggestions that I welcomed. I was very pleased with her work and wouldn't hesitate to hire her again. read more

Grace did hair and makeup for myself, maid of honor and family for my engagement photos and Fall wedding. She was receptive and was able to adapt to requests easily after I showed her photos/images of what I wanted. I was concerned about makeup smudging or hair becoming undone with all the running around, but her work held up so well! My only wish was that she would accept electronic cash transfer, but it's worth a trip to the ATM! She was timely, kind, and delivered the results I wanted. Thanks, Grace! read more

Grace was very patient and flexible throughout the whole process. She was professional and gave me good advice on what might or might not work with my face shape. This is especially important because I'm someone that doesn't do makeup on a regular basis. I looked AMAZING in all the pictures yet I still look like myself. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for makeup service for her special day!!! read more

Grace was fantastic and easy to work with for my wedding. Very responsive over email and on time the day of. My make-up and hair stayed all night long (and my second-day waves were good enough to keep in for brunch). The bridesmaids she worked on also looked fabulous the whole night. Highly recommend her if you're in the NYC or NJ area! read more

Grace was one of my favorite vendors to work with during my wedding! The make up came out beautifully on all of us, and my bridesmaids and I have different skin tones, coloring, and styles. The elegant looks she created made us all feel amazing, and we love how we look in the photos. Grace was also extremely easy to work with, and has a really nice, calming personality. read more

I contacted Grace for my wedding hair/makeup because she did hair/makeup for one of my friend's wedding and EVERYONE looked amazing! She was super responsive via e-mail through the planning process; and she was so easy to work with, with all the changes in my plans. She did hair/makeup for myself, my maid of honor, my sister-in-law, and my mother - and everyone looked gorgeous! We all felt naturally beautiful (not too much cake on the face or super long fake dark lashes) - she made our inner beauty come through with her magic hands! She stayed through my hair/makeup change before the reception - and even though we only had a few minutes for the style change, it looked like she spent hours on it! I looked and felt as perfect as I could be! I wish I lived closer to Grace, so that I could get my makeup done for any other special occasions by her! THANK YOU Grace!!! read more

LOVE! I had a 2-day wedding, both days in NYC but in different locations, and needed someone who had experience with Asian faces and had availability over those 2 days. I contacted a few hair and makeup artists but ultimately decided to go with Grace and I'm so glad I did! She's responsive to emails and very sweet in person. During the trial, I asked for a natural/very light makeup look and tried 2 hairstyles. I loved the way both my hair and makeup turned out--she listens to what you really want while making helpful suggestions. The best thing is that she travels to you for the trial and the day of your wedding. On the weekend of my wedding, since I didn't have a bridal party Grace was able to get my hair and makeup done in 1.5 hours each day. I even slightly changed the way my hair was to be done the day of and she was very accommodating with that. She was never late and very professional. She also provided a small touchup kit with blotting sheets and gloss. Highly recommend her. Thank you Grace! :) read more

I am so glad that I had Grace as my hair and make-up artist for my wedding day. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was extremely responsive and took the time to answer all my questions. On the day of the wedding, she did the hair and make up for my mother, my 2 bridesmaids, and myself in 4 hours. My mother and my bridesmaids still rave about how beautiful they looked on my wedding day! The flowers that we got for my hair was too large and she was able to fix it on the spot (whew!). Grace is professional and reliable! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hair and make up artist. Thank you again, Grace! read more

Grace did my hair and make up for my wedding on 5/4/2019. I did a trial with her once before the wedding date and was impressed at how she captured the look I wanted and complemented my features. On both the trial date and the wedding date, she arrived on time, was very efficient, and calm throughout the process. She listens to what you want and will provide opinion on what she thinks will work for you if you seek it. On the wedding day itself, she did make up for me, my mom, and my aunt, along with hair for me, my mom and my MOH. All were extremely happy with her work and the looks she produced. Hair and make up stayed on perfectly all day/night. Many people/guests complemented me on my hair and make up. Her pricing was also very reasonable, especially for the service. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Thank you!! read more

I was extremely lucky to have found and hired Grace to do my (and my mom's) hair and makeup on my wedding day (10-9-16). I had read nothing but great reviews and saw pictures of her beautiful makeovers and I knew her classic, simple and glamourous technique would suit my style perfectly. She is one of the most reliable, responsive, professional and nicest people I've met. For my trial I was undecided between 2 looks and she tried them both until I was happy with the end result. She was even receptive to a last minute change in hairstyle on the day of the wedding. She can do natural makeup equally as amazing as she can do a more pronounced look. And her hairdo skills are outstanding! Rarely can you find someone that's great at doing both... she is definitely a force to be reckoned with! The best part is that her fees are very reasonable! I can't recommend her enough! read more

Beauty With Grace - My glamorous look thanks to Grace! - Makeup Artists Near Me

I am so glad I booked Beauty with Grace for my wedding day! Grace was always responsive to emails and flexible. Upon meeting Grace at our hair and makeup trial, I knew we were in good hands because she was attentive, communicative and very talented! On the wedding, Grace was punctual and fantastic at working with me and my 4 bridesmaids to achieve our looks. She was laser focused for 5 and a half hours! I also appreciate that Grace allowed me do some of my own makeup without making me feel like I offended her. Grace was with us through the photos for touch ups, and even kindly helped my groom with his stray hair. We all loved working with Grace, and would highly recommend her to any bride! Now I just need another special occasion to work with Grace again! read more

This review is very long overdue! I spent a LOT of time looking for makeup artists because I was looking for someone who had a lot of experience with Asian faces and who would give me that glam but still natural look for our big day. I am so glad that I found Grace because I could not have been happier with the trial (which barely needed any tweaking, because she is a pro) and on the day of. Grace did make-up for me, 5 bridesmaids, two moms, and my sister-in-law and was very punctual and super efficient and most importantly did everyone's makeup beautifully (also, not everyone was Asian, she's great with all faces!). In the lead-up to the trial and big day, Grace was super responsive with any questions I had and in finalizing logistics (which, if you've planned a big event with lots of vendors is extremely helpful). The makeup stayed on all night and looked great in all the pictures. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a great makeup artist for any special event. read more

I spent a long time researching hair and makeup artists for my wedding day. I was thrilled to find someone as kind, skilled, and professional as Grace! She came to my apartment for a trial hair and makeup session, and we reviewed my ideas for my wedding day. She was incredibly helpful and patient as I struggled to describe what I wanted (I know very little about hair styling and usually only wear minimal makeup). We went through some photos on Pinterest, and she created a lovely natural makeup look that I fell in love with. During the days and weeks prior to my wedding, she responded quickly to all of my questions and emails. On the day of my wedding, she started her work with one of my bridesmaids at 7:30 AM far uptown, then traveled all the way to SoHo (at the hotel where I was prepping) to work with myself, 2 other bridesmaids, and my mother. She was relaxed and pleasant throughout the several hours of prep, and she created a beautiful natural look that made everyone glow. Her services included airbrush and lashes, which we all loved. She worked skillfully with many different hair/skin types and ethnicities (from Indian to Caucasian to Asian to mixed). When my husband saw her incredible work, he (only half jokingly) mentioned that he should have booked her to do his hair and makeup too! Finally, after hours of hard work and traveling all over Manhattan, Grace went the extra mile to come back uptown to the venue with us to do touch ups and make sure we all looked flawless for the ceremony and photos. I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup artist, and I highly recommend Grace for anyone in the NY/NJ area. read more

Grace was so wonderful and easy to work with! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She listened to what I wanted my makeup and hair to look like. She was also easy to book a wedding trial with! I just sent her some pictures and she knew the look I was going for. I got the package deal for 6 services for my grandma and mom as well and they looked fabulous! My mom looked and felt so beautiful! It was also important for me to book someone who was used to doing Asian makeup and spoke Korean. My wedding was early in the morning and she came at 4:30am to start! Grace was so accommodating. My makeup and hair lasted the WHOLE DAY! I couldn't have asked for anyone better. And her prices are reasonable! I would recommend booking her for your wedding in NY! read more

I hired Grace for a trial hair and make up before my engagement shoot and was happy with her service so I also hired her for the day of my wedding. Grace is very professional and yes she is a one woman show. She did my hair and make-up along with four other ladies who did their hair and make up, in addition to one person having only make-up done and another person getting their hair done. I was worried with the timing but Grace is a pro. She finished everyone and we were all happy with the results. I feel like if your style is more on the natural side and not over the top, Grace is your person! I didn't feel "overdone" for my wedding and still looked like myself. Thank you, Grace!! read more

Excellent service...very professional and punctual. Grace knew exactly the look i wanted for my baby shower.

I searched extensively for the right makeup artist for my wedding. I am very satisfied with my experience with Grace. She is prompt, calm, patient, very responsive, and highly skilled. Grace has a special talent for enhancing your natural features so that you feel like a better version of yourself, which was exactly how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. read more

Grace did hair and makeup for me and 6 bridesmaids for my wedding and she did a really phenomenal job! I would highly recommend Grace without hesitation. My first bridesmaid got her makeup/hair done at 5am (it was a long day!) and even 20 hours later, everyone's makeup and hair still looked perfect!! This was especially impressive because we took pictures outside during a heatwave and the makeup didn't move at all. Grace kept everyone on time and she was very responsive to any questions I had before my wedding day. I also did a trial with Grace before my wedding. We tried three different looks and I was so impressed by how long Grace stayed to make sure we settled on a look that I loved. Look no further, Grace does really great work. read more

I was fortunate to have found Grace as my makeup artist for my wedding. Grace is very calm and composed even during tight timelines. My wedding ceremony was at 11 am in the morning, we had to begin the day at 7 am for myself, 1 bridesmaid, and the two moms. Everything went according to the plan, there were no delays ~ Grace also traveled to my wedding location, which is rather remote, it's on Fire Island! My family and I had a great time with Grace! I only regret that I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to her because we were rushing to get on the boat to get to the ceremony location~ Now I have my chance, thank you Grace for such a wonderful job! You made all of us look beautiful!! read more

SO fortunate to have found Grace as my makeup artist for my wedding. I was pretty stressed out in finding one after having a terrible trial with another artist that made me look unrecognizable and what others can only describe as a wannabe geisha. Grace understood that I wanted to keep it natural but also look like a better version of myself on my wedding day. We had a pretty early wedding at 11am, and Grace needed to do my makeup, my two friends, and my aunt and my mom. She was willing to arrive early (4am) and start the process. Grace was calm and professional--something that is needed when there are so many moving parts to a wedding day. Everyone looked great, and was amazed at how well the makeup stayed on all day. I was bawling at the ceremony and it didn't look like I cried at all! At the end of the night, I was too tired to undo my hair and slept in it and my updo didn't get ruined. Since we had brunch the next day, I just put on some more hairspray to smooth out the fly aways and went to the event in my wedding hair! I thought her rates are pretty reasonable, I was getting ridiculous quotes from different artists. You won't regret having Grace as your makeup artist, she is reliable, uses great products, communicates well and fast through email, and knows how to make you look great! read more

Beauty With Grace - Makeup Artists Near Me

I was a Bridezilla perfectionist and Grace dealt with it with grace. In your vendors you're not only looking at the output of their work but their professionalism. Grace arrived early and went straight to work. She did an AMAZING job fulfilling my request for a natural and dewy look using airbrushing and lashes for myself and 3 bridesmaids in under 2 hours. Her prices were also incredibly reasonable for the quality of her work. HIGHLY recommend her. read more

Grace is excellent! I had such a great experience working with her. She recently did makeup for my wedding - which included me, 7 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers, so a total of 10 women. She was finished in about 5 hours, and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. She is very efficient, while also providing quality and detail oriented work. She offered options for false eyelashes which looked very natural, as well as airbrush makeup. She was also very accommodating with everyone's different styles, and amended different things easily upon request. She made me and my bridal party feel exceptional for my wedding day. She was also extremely personable, easy to contact throughout the planning process, and very prompt with arriving to the venue. She offered me a trial before the wedding as well, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend her to any bride! read more

Grace did an amazing job on my wedding day!!! I was in a rush to find a hair and makeup artist only a few months before my wedding because my previous MUA fell through. At the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Grace, who responded promptly and scheduled a trial right away. After my trial, I had a few suggestions for how I wanted my makeup to be on the actual day, and she did a great job incorporating my feedback. She is such a kind, lovely person and super easy to talk to, which definitely calmed my nerves on the morning of. I absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup. She also did hair and makeup for my mom and mother-in-law, and they looked beautiful! read more

Grace was perfect on my wedding day. Calm, professional and always on time! She travels for your trial which was an added perk. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Grace was easy to work with and did an excellent job on my wedding day.  I had 8 bridesmaids which was no easy task but she handled it well and did a great job. read more

Grace is a gem! She was the absolute perfect fit for my New York City wedding. Grace traveled to our hotel room in midtown to do my hair/makeup for our wedding day, and also did makeup for four members of the bridal party. Everyone was thrilled with the result. She made us look so beautiful, but not overly made up. She lets your natural beauty shine through. Her makeup also lasts all day long. (She gave me a little touch-up kit for the long day ahead, but I never even needed it.) And I loved what she did with my hair! Best of all, Grace is a calm, relaxing, joyful soul. Just the kind of person you want to spend an hour or so with on your wedding morning. No mindless chatter, no drama, just an artist doing beautiful, personal work. I cannot recommend Grace enough. Thank you!! read more

I hired Grace to do my hair and makeup as well as 4 other bridal party hair. I tried 4 different makeup artists before I decided on Grace so I did research! I really cannot recommend her enough. I had everything done at the venue and she was early of course and wasted no time getting to work. She is such a calming influence on a hectic day and the final outcome was even better than when I had the trial with her. I have never looked more beautiful in my life. The makeup was flawless and not cakey or overdone. I looked like the best version of myself and I had so many people come up to me afterwards raving about my makeup and hair. The best part? It stayed alllll day. Well into the sweaty dancing and afterparty. The worst part? That I can't have her do my makeup everyday because I truly have never felt so confident and gorgeous. Thank you Grace for making me feel incredible. read more

Grace is a gem. She did makeup for me, my mother, mother-in-law, and sister for my wedding, and I've never felt more beautiful. She really listens to you and customizes a look to suit your wants and needs, unlike other artists I did trials with who just seem to be applying the same cookie cutter contouring and colors to every bride. Grace's application is flawless and she has such a light touch that you could hardly tell I had anything on my skin, it just looked naturally luminous. When I went to wash my face at 2am, after hours of dancing and partying, my first thought when I saw my reflection in the mirror was "Wow, my skin looks great!". I cannot recommend Grace enough if you're looking for natural, glowing makeup, and to look like the best possible version of yourself. read more

I would highly recommend Grace for makeup and hair. Grace is very efficient with her work and not at all lacking in quality. She is professional, friendly, prompt, easy to work with and super talented. I booked a trial with her and was so happy with her work that I booked her for my wedding too. One of my bridesmaids who was also getting married, booked her after seeing my makeup and hair for the trial too! Grace was able to quickly look at an inspiration photo and then replicate it with ease. She was very accommodating since I wanted the makeup and hair for the trial to be for the engagement photoshoot too. She even styled my hair how I wanted it for the shoot at the end of the trial, which was a simple half up-half down, 2-bobby pin look, but very elegant. I received many compliments from the look for my trial. The days leading up to the wedding, I changed my mind for both makeup and hair. For the makeup, I went from a more natural look to a heavier-on-the-eyes look. Grace listened to what I wanted and went darker on the eyes in increments until I was happy with the look. Her makeup is so flattering for anyone. She brings out your natural beauty without making you look like a different person (which I have seen before). With hair, I showed her a couple pictures and after a quick discussion, she was able to style my hair just like how I wanted. She did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids too. Grace also made time to put a little under eye makeup on my husband (to cover up the dark circles under his eyes). It looked so natural you could barely notice it! I felt confident knowing she was doing my makeup and hair for my big day. read more

I hired Grace for my wedding makeup and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Grace has a really keen eye for color and how to highlight a person's best features. The bonus is that she travels into Manhattan and is prompt and communicative. I liked her services so much I recommended her to a friend of mine who was also getting married. My wedding was in September of 2014 and now over a year later, I look back and the photos and think what a fantastic job she did for me! read more

I am quite picky with my make-up artist and I was super lucky to have found Grace. I went to at least 4 different make-up studio trails until I finally had a trial with Grace and decided that she is the one for my wedding day! Working with Grace was one of the best parts of my wedding. She arrived on time with her suitcase full of make-up and hair equipments, and helped all of my wedding party ladies to have the perfect look for my big day. She worked from 8AM all the way to 6PM, and helped me in and out of 3 dresses with different styles. I felt confident and taken care of having Grace by my side throughout the wedding day. She was both extremely skilled in make-up and hairstyling. I am very lucky to have Grace be my stylist, and I would recommend her to all the lucky brides out there! read more
