I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Jackie. Not only is she incredibly talented at glam…read moreand understood exactly what I wanted for my wedding day, but she is also just the kindest, warmest person. From the beginning, she made me feel like I was talking to an old friend. For MONTHS leading up to the wedding, I would randomly text her with changes, questions, thoughts, etc., and she was always so sweet, responsive and accommodating. She never once made me feel like I was being annoying or overstepping which, as a bride, means more than you know!
And it wasn't just me. My entire bridal party was literally shouting from the rooftops about how beautiful Jackie made everyone look and, more importantly, feel. One of my MOHs told me this was the first time she had ever gotten her makeup done as part of a bridal party and didn't feel like she needed to go back and change or fix anything herself afterward. My other MOH was SO impressed, she told me she had never felt that beautiful before and received more compliments that night than she ever has in her life. Hearing that from the women closest to me made me even happier with my decision to have Jackie there.
What really sets Jackie apart is her range. I personally wanted to look like myself, just more snatched, polished and elevated and she absolutely nailed it. But at the same time, she was able to create much more glamorous looks on other members of my bridal party and execute those just as beautifully. It is SO hard to find an artist who can do both and tailor their work to the individual person rather than giving everyone the same face.
I've worked with makeup artists professionally for over 15 years through my career, so I know when someone truly has the knowledge, technical skill and creative eye -- and Jackie has all of that, plus what I can only describe as God-given talent. She knows how to work with different faces, skin tones, races, hair types, personal styles and needs and make each person look like the absolute best version of themselves.
Jackie is truly talented in every sense of the word, but beyond that, she is the kind of person you WANT around you on your wedding day. She is warm, patient, calming and genuinely cares about making everyone feel beautiful.
I cannot recommend her enough. Choosing Jackie was one of the easiest and best decisions I made for my wedding, and I will DEFINITELY find a way to work with her again in the future.
