I first met and reviewed Cassandra years ago when I was visiting NYC for my best friend's wedding. I remembered how skilled and kind she was, so it was a no-brainer to contact her when I was in town to attend an award ceremony. Cassandra was quick to communicate with me and even fit me in at the last minute, which I TRULY appreciated. She came to my hotel and did my hair and makeup without me having to leave the comfort of my room. She is a pro! As I expected, I was TOTALLY pleased with the results. I highly recommend Cassandra for ALL your makeup artistry needs. Thanks SO much Cassandra for making me feel beautiful for my special day! read more

Cassandra did my hair and makeup for my January wedding and did a wonderful job. I don't wear makeup day to day so didn't want to look too "made up" - basically I wanted to look like myself only WAY BETTER! Cassandra did an amazing job! I looked beautiful and felt confident and amazing. Cassandra was also easy to communicate with in the lead up to the wedding and really sweet and fun to hang out with the day of (which is so important when you're a bundle of nerves). Overall I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend! read more

See all

Cassie was phenomenal in preparing my make-up and hair for my September 1, 2018 wedding. There was a slight coordination hiccup with the timeline, but Cassie handled this professionally. Her skills as a makeup artist cannot be overstated; I was concerned about looking overly made up, but also aware that optimal makeup for photos requires heavier than average application. I could not have been more pleased with the result. Cassie was also very explicit about how to maintain the makeup throughout the evening. As a significant bonus, Cassie is very personable, and immediately put my mother and aunts, who were getting ready with me, at ease. read more

Approachable, professional, makes you feel like a rockstar. Seriously, if I had an entourage of professionals for my life, I would want Cassandra in it. Not only did the look she created have staying power, it didn't leave my scalp aching and my eyes watering. Her wholistic approach to hair and skin care left me feeling chic, pampered, and absolutely fabulous. read more

I've booked Cassandra twice; in December for my engagement photos and just last week for a private makeup lesson for myself and a few girlfriends. She's an absolute joy to be around and super patient and talented. She listened to exactly what I wanted and what my concerns were. She made me look beautiful without that heavy makeup look. For the lesson she was able to establish what all our individual needs were and really worked with us to make sure we understood how to do the techniques once we were home. I also love how quick she is to respond. I definitely recommend her, you won't regret it! read more

Cassie is truly talented! She did my friends wedding years ago and I always remarked on how amazing her makeup was when looking back at photos. Just in case, I had several makeup trails for my wedding, and after all of them (even one with 20 years as a big name in the business), I had no doubt I would use Cassie. Her makeup was by far the best in quality and longevity. She nailed my skin tone perfectly. My face looked natural and flawless for hours, even through the heatwave we experienced on our wedding day. Everyone said my makeup, as well as others she did that day, was beautiful. I feel stunning once her work is done She is easy going, quick without sacrificing quality, uses great products and keeps everything super clean and organized. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a good makeup artist! read more

Cassie is so much fun! And so punctual and professional! Do not hesitate! Her work ethics alone are worth her fee! And then she'll create such gorgeous faces too! The whole package! read more

Cassandra recently did my hair and makeup on incredibly short notice, and holy smokes, what a pro. She was not only unfailingly kind and cool and funny for three hours (plus checking up on me via text hours later), she has a real gift for chatting it up at the right times and letting a natural silence fall and hang out for a while. For someone a little on the afraid-of-strangers side, I was so grateful for her energy. Most importantly, her work was gorgeous, precise and long-lasting. I felt so pretty. I wear a lot of makeup a lot of the time and I didn't think I had the ability to be pleasantly surprised by my own painted face anymore--but there it was. Unconditional recommend. read more

Cassie is truly a makeup artist. She did the makeup for my wedding, as well as my mom and sister's makeup, and it was flawless and lasted well throughout the night. We were all very pleased with our makeup. It looked natural yet glamorous, which is exactly what I wanted. Being biracial, myself, my sister, and my mother all have very different skin tones, and everyone's makeup was amazing. She was easy to communicate with and uses high quality products. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional makeup. read more

Hire Cassandra for a beautiful look and a lot less stress on the day of your big event! I was able to squeeze into an available appointment when I was in NYC for an event and she saved my life. She came to my hotel room and did both my hair & make-up beautifully! I was super stressed and she was so cool & collected and super great at her job! I knew from her reviews that she would be wonderful, but I was still so grateful and impressed. She was so lovely collaborating with my look and I will definitely hire her again. Thanks girl!! read more

My husband wanted to surprise me with someone to do my hair and makeup before a night out in NYC and found Cassandra. She was amazing! She provided such a great experience amd made me feel beautiful! She came to our hotel and did my hair, makeup, and lashes that fit me and my personality just right. I will definitely book her again next time we're heading out in the city and would highly recommend her. read more

Cassandra came to my apartment to prepare me for a big birthday party. The experience with her was simply relaxing, not to say that the result was fabulous. She did my hair and makeup so well that I never thought I could look this way. Plus she is a very comfortable person to be with, and in 2hrs of preparation I just loved talking to her, which is amazing considering that I'm usually a very quiet and introvert person. She arrived very on time. She made the experience very smooth, and most of all she's in no way pushy or aggressive opinion-wise, which often upsets me from other professionals. If you are looking for a nice elegant makeup as well as a very enjoyable moment of relax and fun, definitely contact Cassandra! read more

Cassandra did my makeup for a special event and she was terrific!!! I was a bit of a nervous nelly and she did great with me. She was on time (I was on a tight schedule) and very easy to be around, and she did a great job! Go for it, ladies, you won't regret it!!! read more

Cassandra is a talented makeup artist. I hired her for a photoshoot and she went above and beyond expectations. I will surely be hiring her again. read more

Although the 5 star rating is equivalent to Great, I want to rate Cassie as Beyond Excellent! In addition to being stellar at makeup, what I appreciated most is that Cassie listened to me. I don't usually wear makeup and wanted my makeup done for a special photo session. As Cassie applied my makeup she periodically stopped to allow me to look in the mirror to confirm if I was comfortable with the direction she was going in with doing my makeup. And boy oh boy was I overwhelmingly satisfied with the final product. I mean I didn't want to wash my face that night... but I did of course :-) Cassie's gentle, fun, patient and genuinely caring spirit made me feel relaxed as we prepared for my photo session. Additionally, Cassie works quick. I imagine the kind of face Cassie gave me would take hours. But, she remained focused and worked within the timeframe she was given by the photographer for a perfect finish within far less than 1 hour. Thank you so much, Cassie! I can't wait to hire you again. I highly recommend all those reading this review to just go ahead and hire Cassie. You won't regret it. read more

I was looking for a makeup artist as I thought it would be fun to get a professional lesson-- as I love watching YouTube videos but wanted something catered to my specific needs in regards to skin type, texture, age, etc. I initially was looking to Glamsquad, however, I read their reviews and they didn't seem to be the right fit for me. So I looked on Yelp and read all of Cassandra's reviews and visited her web site. I was impressed with her work online. I then called her and was very impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. She took the time to answer all of my questions. She arrived early to the appointment and was very professional. She provided a lot of knowledge-- was a great teacher and also has a lovely personality, which made the experience very enjoyable. She did a wonderful job and surpassed my expectations. I had a girls' day with a friend-- and she and I both agreed that Cassandra was wonderful all around. She is an incredible makeup artist and I recommend her highly. read more

Cassandra was my makeup artist for my wedding and was heavily recommended by a fellow bride. After trying 2 (awful!!!) artists I was ready to do my own makeup until Cassie saved my wedding day!! She uses bobby brown makeup which i loved!! I have very dramatic features so I didn't need any mascara and she got the perfect look on the first try! read more

I hired her to do my hair and makeup for me and all my bridesmaids for my wedding. She really knows what she's doing.

My party was extremely happy with her work. Make sure to trust her recommendations! read more

She is also a wonderful artist and person. Please use Cassandra for your next event, you won't regret it! read more

Cassandra came to my hotel in midtown to do my hair and makeup for a music industry event. She did a great job with both my updo and makeup, was easy to communicate with during the booking process, and was very friendly and fun to talk to. I will definitely use her services again the next time I'm in New York for an event. Thank you, Cassie! read more

Cassandra is the absolute best! Ive used her for a couple of weddings i attended and now just recently for my own engagement shoot. First off, I contacted her a couple days before because I completely forgot about it and she was SOO accommodating and helpful even though i was carelessly so last minute! She did exactly what i asked with giving her own super helpful input ! I am usually very picky with my hair because I have had bad experience with it not coming out how i liked, but she was spot on! Everything came out so beautiful and I just got my pictures back and ALL my friends are complimenting me on my hair and makeup! Not only is she super professional and great at what she does, she is so fun and personable that it made the experience that much better! I would highly recommend her for any special event she will 100% make you look your most beautiful and make you feel it as well!! read more

Cassandra Suarez - Cassie did a very natural and fun look with my makeup and wavy curls on my hair! LOVED IT! - Makeup Artists Near Me

I am SO happy to have found Cassie as the makeup artist for my NYC wedding!! She did such a fantastic job - both with my makeup as well as ensuring my bridal party looked beautiful while staying true to their personalities. :) During our initial consultation, I explained the look I was going for to Cassie and she absolutely NAILED it! On my actual wedding day, the makeup looked just as if not more beautiful and stayed perfect the entire day/night (despite taking photos outside on the Highline in the hot weather and dancing for hours later in the evening) - even guests approached me shocked how perfect my makeup still looked at the end of the night. Personally, Cassie is very professional and sweet/funny - she was such a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend her enough!! read more

Cassandra is the best and I will be calling her every time I come to New York. She was prompt, extremely professional and a lot of fun to be around. She did makeup for my friend and I for an evening event. We pretty much gave her free reign to do what she thought was best and we looked fabulous!

Call Cassandra - you won't be sorry! read more

She really listened to us and gave makeup recommendations that we can use every day (and night). It was 100% worth it, and if I have any event upcoming, I will absolutely give her a call. She is super super talented. read more

By far the BEST experience ever. I very seldom wear makeup so I relied heavily on Cassandra's professional expertise and trusted that she would take care of me. She was beyond amazing! While on my quest to find the perfect Makeup Artist, my top priority was ensuring that they were able to work with all skin tones, as my party consisted of various ethnicities. Not only was Cassandra able to bring out each of our natural beauty, but she was a delight to be around. Her professionalism and talent are unmatched! I will never use anyone else! Oh, and did I mention that she styled my girls' hair as well?! She made me look effortlessly stunning (like I belonged in a magazine!) and I have referred her to any and everyone! She has been primarily based in New York City and recently came to the Philadelphia area... I AM HOPING THAT SHE'S HERE TO STAY! I highly recommend her services and guarantee you will love her and her work! read more

Cassie did my hair and makeup for my July 2016 wedding as well as makeup for my mother, sister and sister-in-law. She did an AMAZING job! On extremely short notice Cassie was able to come do a hair and makeup trial for me and then found a hair stylist for the other women in my bridal party only a few weeks before my wedding. She was calm, professional and extremely responsive. She did exactly what we all asked for and wasn't afraid to provide her own very knowledgeable professional opinion. She made the four of us, who wear very minimal makeup on a day to day basis, look natural yet glamorous and feel so comfortable. I'm sure everyone (and I hope they do) feels the most beautiful they've ever felt on their wedding, but with Cassie I know for certain that was true. If you are looking for a makeup and hair artist who will make you beyond gorgeous, hire Cassie immediately. read more

Want to look gorgeous and feel amazing about yourself, I highly recommend hiring Cassie! She has done my makeup for several occasions. First and foremost my wedding back in 2009, before she had fully taken off, and she was amazing then so I knew her talent would just grow. I also had Her on hand to do my hair and makeup for my baby shower in 2011 and even with losing power in my home, she still had me looking and feeling stunning. The most recent was for my sister's wedding, January 2014, I was 7 months pregnant and my face needed a pick me up and she came through as usual!! She is amazing, and her work is flawless. I highly recommend hiring this talented beauty. read more
