I knew I was going to love mine, since I did a trial and Amy is so talented, but I wanted my mom and sisters to feel pretty too and would know if they didn't like how they looked!! Every single one of us felt amazing and loved our makeup! One of my sister's even hates makeup, never wears it on a day to day basis, and always hates how she looks when she gets it professionally done. After Amy did hers- she LOVED IT. Amy did the perfect job of listening to her say she wanted light and natural, and she made it happen so beautifully, which was really important to me that my family felt and looked good. She also did a stunning job on mom too, so MOB need to hire Amy!!! Could not recommend Amy more for your big wedding day! She was so easy and fun to work with and made us all look FAB!

You know those makeup artists that do the exact same, cookie-cutter/copy and paste style for every single bride? That is not Amy. She carefully considers your personal preferences, face shape, skin type, etc., to customize and deliver the absolute best look for each of her brides. My makeup looked natural yet knockout and completely flawless (even better than I could have imagined!). I will be coming back to Amy for all of my future makeup needs and you should too... you won't regret it.

GENERAL: I have been seeing Wanda for a few years now and…read morehave nothing but great things to say about her art work. I should mention that I am a general dentist working in Chicago and saying that I pay attention to detail is an understatement. To put it lightly, I can be a bit controlling and difficult to please. At my very first visit, I had my eyebrows done. I watched nervously in a mirror as she tattooed my eyebrows. I was surprised at how quickly she was finished. I have read that this procedure can take up to an hour but I was out in less than 30 min (with half of that time actually being tattooed). I hate to brag, but wow... my eyebrows look amazing!! I still get compliments on them to this day. My eyebrows were not bad before but I always thought they looked better a little filled in. Now I wake up every morning with perfect eyebrows! Its really great, I would recommend it to anyone. I later went back to see Wanda to get my eye liner done. Which I NEVER thought I would do for obvious reasons (like what if i didn't want to wear eyeliner somedays?). I told Wanda I wanted it to look very natural. I trusted her so much at this point, I just let her do her thing. She did such a phenomenal job. It looks exactly how I wanted it to look and I couldn't be happier. LOCATION: I have been 3 different locations to see Wanda. All were extremely easy to find. Parking was never an issue (even in her downtown location!) and all facilities were clean and comfortable. PAIN: I was very worried about how much this was going to hurt. I am a bit of a baby when it comes to needles and I grow especially frantic with thing close to my eyes. Wanda uses a topical numbing agent before she starts and this helped more than I can describe. She must use a very strong topical agent because the pain was much less than I was expecting. Ultimately, your still getting a tattoo on you eye lid so keep in mind its not the most comfortable feeling. Wanda works very quickly and so even if you are having a bad experience, it doesn't last very long. MONEY: This is a bit of an investment for beauty but I did some simple math and justified this expense. The amount of money I would have spend on eye liner and brow filler over the course of many years was much higher than what I would be investing on tattooing it in. When you combine that with the fact that you will be saving so much time getting ready every morning it seemed like a no brainer! Overall, Wanda is a true artist. She has been doing this for decades and now teaches other people how to do this art. She is an esthetic eye, works incredibly fast and is extraordinarily talented. I couldn't ask for better qualities in my permanent makeup artist.

I have never experienced such horrible service ever. I walked it with really long hair and walked out with a mess.
