I really enjoyed working with Jennifer for my wedding, and what initially drew me to her was her…read moreability to bring out a person's natural beauty instead of masking it with makeup. In my research of other makeup artists, I noticed that Jennifer had a keen eye for color matching foundation to a person's skin tone and was very observant when it came to undertones across different ethnicities. I found that her color matching for me was absolutely perfect and completely undetectable. She is also extremely receptive to feedback if you would like to change anything about your makeup or hair, and she is truly a master of her art. I have oily skin and typically need to blot every 2-3 hours, so I was honestly shocked by how long my makeup lasted. The way Jennifer set my face allowed my makeup to last 15+ hours with minimal oil coming through at all. I received compliments throughout the entire night that my makeup didn't look heavy and that I still looked like myself. I highly recommend Jennifer for your makeup and hair needs!

During my bridal trial, Jennifer walked me through each step of the process, explaining what she was doing and which products she was using. She was incredibly attentive to what I liked and didn't like, and adjusted everything accordingly. I left the trial reassure that I found the right hair and makeup artist for my wedding day. Even after the trial, I made a few additional notes about changes I wanted for the big day, and Jennifer made sure every detail was incorporated. On the wedding day, Jennifer and her team arrived promptly and finished hair and makeup for me, the groom, 2 moms, and 4 bridesmaids right on schedule. They even helped with a few touch-ups after we had a quick lunch! Everyone looked incredible all day. Jennifer also provided a small makeup kit, which definitely came in handy since I cried so much throughout the day. I'm so grateful to Jennifer and her team for helping us all feel our best!

I opted for the airbrush option and I am so glad I did. My look stayed through all the happy tears and dance floor shenanigans, and it's just a testament to how great of a job she did. What I also appreciate is how wonderfully she integrated the minor changes I wanted to make from my trial to the actual wedding, and how beautifully it all turned out. She was truly mindful of all the details I requested and in my moments of "I don't know what do you think looks good", she made the best selections for me. One thing that really stuck with me was how she was dedicated to using products and techniques to accentuate her brides' beauty, and it shows in all the clients she works with, and I truly felt this on my day. On the day of, she and her team were very efficient and even wrapped up ahead of schedule, which really got us in a great position for the rest of our day as well!

I had my trial for our engagement shoot and was blown away at how great it looked not only in person, but in photos! She is sweet, detail oriented and you can tell she has a passion for making her clients feel their best! Kandice arrived early, super speedy and made everyone feel at ease. One of the things that Kandice did that really made me love her even more was how special she made my flower girl feel! She wasn't getting much make-up done, but for her to make her feel like she was special too was awesome! Not only did she make all of my ladies feel beautiful, she even did some light bridesman make-up because he asked-how amazing! I would hands down recommend Kandice for your wedding day make-up, she's great!! Thank you for helping make our day go so smoothly, we appreciate you!! xoxo Nicole

THIS girl... THIS girl right here... TURNED ME INTO A HOT CHICK! Lol…read more Everyone at my party (and constant strangers at the bar we were at) was freaking out all night. I watched so many people look for me and not realize I was right by them because they didn't even recognize me hahahah. Which is EXACTLY what I wanted! To top that off though, and what really made me want to write a review, was Kandice's professionalism and her desire to please. Everything from her email signature stating what her email/office hours are, to taking credit card info upfront online, to having an away message when she was on a short vacation... Extremely respectable. It's so easy to trust someone that takes pride in their business, has proper grammar/capitalization, etc. Not all that easy to find in SD. As far as her "desire to please"... She was SO accommodating. The exact opposite of snooty which kept shocking me from a young female that likes makeup in Southern CA haha. Heck, when I mentioned that I would be late because parking was hard to find, she even offered to walk downstairs to come meet me and show me where to park. And that's just one example. :) If I ever get married I would be LUCKY to have her as my right-hand!

As a Filipino, and my bridesmaids being Vietnamese and Filipino, I had original hesitation in booking a makeup artist bc they never get my face shade correct! It's always too light. But Emily was perfect. She did both my trial makeup for engagement photos and 6 bridesmaids/1 bride for the day-of wedding makeup and all my bridesmaids were very happy with her as well. They were actually pleasantly surprised they liked their makeup! It's nice that travel is complimentary if your wedding location is within 15 miles of her. Wedding makeup can get pricy so make sure you research and look at examples to see if their artistry fits your personality and style. I'm fortunate I found Emily for me!

I got my makeup done for a wedding. I came a little unprepared, but I let her know that I'd like a fresh, natural look, and a smokey eye. The makeup she used felt so nice and light on. She worked fast and had time to give me tips on doing my own makeup as well. I'm very happy with how my makeup turned out even though I'm not use to having a darker smokey eye. I trusted her and I left a happy camper. Also, my makeup lasted all day (8am-1am). How amazing is that? The makeup literally looked flawless throughout the day. The only thing I would change for next time is to ask for better coverage on my scars and to bring a pic of how I usually do my brows. Overall, I'll be hiring Emily for my future events.
