Lorraine and her team did a phenomenal job on my makeup, and the makeup for my two bridesmaids and…read moremy mother, when I got wedding-ed in Princeton in June. Don't let her down-to-earth manner fool you; Lorraine is a total professional, a true artist, and a perfectionist when it comes to making her clients look good. (Bring photos of looks you like to your trial; like so many artists, she is very visual and photos clue her in to what look you are trying to achieve. ) She can do anything--from dramatic and bold to girl-next-door natural, and every look in between; and she will be honest about what she thinks will and will not look best on you. I can't quite find the words to rave about how lovely she made me, my ladies, and my mom look on the big day. We still looked like ourselves--but gorgeous. I was especially impressed with what she and her team achieved with my mom. It's hard enough to work with twenty-somethings with good skin; imagine what goes into achieving beautiful results on someone in her sixties who hasn't exactly had time to pamper herself while raising three kids on her own, and also hasn't worn makeup in over twenty years. My mom looked HOT--but as if she wasn't wearing makeup. Now, that is something awesome. :) We all got so many compliments, and my makeup lasted through a long, warm day and lots of sweating on the dance floor. Lorraine was also calm and centered in the midst of our wedding chaos. This included humoring my six-year old ring bearer, who had to chill with us ladies while we got pretty; and dealing with an obnoxious front desk person at the establishment where we were staying and getting ready. Her prices are extremely reasonable. So if you are getting wedding-ed in the NJ/Philadelphia area, I cannot recommend Simply Beautiful Makeup and Lorraine highly enough!

Lo was soo amazing! I called her just a few days prior to my wedding in a desperate need of a fast…read moretrial, she was so accommodating and fit me into her busy sch the very next day with coming to my house. I had a couple trials done before but was very unhappy with the work the other salons did on me....I was paying these saloons high prices for something I could have done at home myself. The way my trial went with Lo was great, she LISTEN to what I wanted and asked for pictures of the look I am going for. She was into every detail, she is a true makeup artist. I originally wanted make up for just me, not expecting my girls to pay for theirs to be done....but once my girls saw the way my trial went with Lo they wanted theirs done too! So once again Lo was accommodating again and at last minute okayed some of my girls to get their makeup done the day of the wedding with me. She came to my house on the wedding day as well. She brings her husband to take photos of before during and after (he is also a professional photographer!) And this gives u an idea of what your going to look like on camera for your photos too! She was amazing and I would highly recommend her for any occasion you might need airbrush makeup done! I know I will be calling her if I ever need to look pretty again ; ) Oh and PS her pricing was awesome compared to the saloons

Got the news my niece was getting married, and I wanted to get her something but didn't know what…read more A friend recommended to get a gift certificate for hair and makeup for the wedding. Since I have never purchased something like this before, I had questions. Their customer service team was responsive and helpful to answer my questions. I love on their website you can see the artists you could potentially work with. My niece was over the moon that I got her this as a gift. Recently she had her hair and makeup trial done at the studio. She said, "I'm so pretty!" with a glimmer in her eye. Safe to say she was really really happy with the results. She is really looking forward to having the team work with her on the big day. Everyone we spoke and interacted with were friendly and professional. The whole process-from booking to the execution of service-was easy.

But I must say they did an incredible job! They made my hair and makeup match my inspo picks so well. And they kept the vibe so fun. I really enjoyed talking to both of them. Alena even helped me get one of my earrings in after my piercing closed up a bit. And my mother in law loved her hair and makeup as well! They are a bit pricey but worth every penny!

I have had horrible experiences with makeup artists *cough* at MAC *cough*. I have some personal…read moreideas about makeup + me, like, for example, that I don't think foundation looks "right" on me, and I don't think I have lips made for wearing lipstick. It's just not me. I can't count how many times I've been pressured into wearing foundation when I.Don't.Wear.Foundation. It makes me look completely crazy, and I hate it. Veronica was the FIRST mua that didn't pressure me into it... In fact, she actually agreed with me that I look better without it. THANK YOU!! I'm not crazy!! I first heard about her through Anju (of AnjuThreads), who was hosting Veronica at her threading salon as one of her summer pop-up events. I was celebrating my birthday the week before the event, but figured that if Anju liked her, I would to. AND I LIKE HER! She came to my apartment and got me ready for my birthday with a gorgeous purple smoky eye. I was a complete mess that day because a billion things were going on, including the venue for my party changing 3 times in a day, and the built-in shelves I installed over my bed fell ON TO MY BED while I was at work (and thank god, not in bed), but Veronica was completely calming. I added a photo of my makeup so you can see what she did =)

I'm not really a makeup wearing girl. During my trial, I had trouble getting used to the lipsticks Veronica tried and the amount of eye makeup- I seriously have issues with makeup! She was so understanding and said she appreciated my honesty. We worked through some other options and I'm so glad that I chose Veronica to work with! At the end of the day, I was blown away with the end product. Veronica came to my hotel the morning of my wedding and did most of our makeup, which we were all very happy with. Thank you Veronica!!

Wow, the women at the Blush Bar really know how to make a woman feel like a princess on her wedding…read moreday! I am a person who rarely wears makeup and usually has my hair in a braid so I was a bit nervous about finding someone who would be able to do my hair and makeup in a way that made me still feel like myself but also more glamorous than I ever have in my life. Dominique and Jillian did just that! These girls were prompt and professional. They flew through the hair and makeup timeline and made my bridesmaids (all 11 of them!!), mother, mother in law, and I all feel gorgeous. They let us know ahead of time what we needed to have in the bridal suite, but really brought most of the stuff they needed. We just needed tables and chairs! I loved working with them and cannot imagine how I would have looked if I had not hired Blush Bar for my big day. These are women who really listen to what your bridal vision is and make it come to life. I knew immediately after my trial that I trusted them to make me look exactly how I wanted on my wedding day. Thank you girls for making me feel beautiful but still like myself. I will be forever grateful to you!

My make-up looked flawless, and it stayed on all night, even through rain, snow, and hours of sweaty dancing. My makeup was gorgeous, but It was not over done, and I just looked like the most beautiful version of myself. Not only did she know exactly what she was doing, but she listened when myself or bridal party had questions/concerns, or wanted even small details modified. She made us feel so comfortable about giving her feedback. She even talked my mother, whose nerves were understandably running high, into having a good cry before she got her makeup done. It made he rest of the day go so much more smoothly. Not only was she the best make up artist, but our therapist. I would highly recommend her. She was professional, and has the perfect personality for the job. I will certainly be calling her next time I need my makeup done. Tracy did my hair and she was fantastic. For my trial, she styled my hair for another event, and I never actually had a trial for the bridal hairstyle I wanted. However, I could tell how talented she was and I trusted her completely. For my wedding, I showed her a picture of something I liked, but asked for a few differences, and she got it so right. My hair didn't budge all night, even through wind, rain, and hours of dancing. She also did my mother and cousin's hair. She managed to make their hair look soft, but the styles stayed put all night. She was so patient with my mother, who was unsure of how to communicate what kind of hair style she wanted, and in the end, it turned out beautiful. For our first look, the first words out of my husband's mouth were "your hair looks so beautiful". I could not have been happier with my hair.
