Tracy and her assistant were incredible!! Our experience began with a yelp search for an affordable hair and makeup artist in the Chicago Area. Goddess Effect Artistry immediately caught my interest and, after a quick email exchange with Tracy, we had a trial set up. She was so sweet and accommodating, going so far as to send me a list of things to do in her area since my fiance and I had to rent a car to get out to her. That level of personal service extended all throughout her work with us. On the day of the wedding, she got the hair and makeup of two mothers, two bridesmaids, and two brides done in no time flat. Everyone looked beautiful and, most importantly to me, looked like themselves! I hate when makeup overshadows someone's natural beauty but Tracy and her assistant did a great job of highlighting how gorgeous all of our ladies already are. They were kind, funny, and set everyone at ease. Only two of the six ladies present had ever had their makeup done professionally and all six were thrilled with the end results. Everyone's makeup stayed fresh and there wasn't a hair out of place throughout the entire night. The airbrush makeup left us all feeling as if we weren't covered in caked on pounds but instead, as if we had fresh faces! The best part was that it was easy to take off at the end of the night (we were exhausted and, had it been a difficult clean up process, we both might have just slept with bobby pins and lashes!) If you are looking for someone to listen to your needs and make you look your best, look no further. Tracy is the best! read more

Loved working with Tracy and Crystal for my wedding! They did a phenomenal job with my makeup and hair as well as all my bridesmaids. We all loved the airbrushed makeup! Very responsive to emails and answering questions. Definitely recommend for your upcoming event! read more

Goddess Effect Artistry - Hair and make-up - Makeup Artists Near Me

I found Tracy through Chicago Wedding Facebook groups and I am so glad I came across her business! From the beginning she was straight forward with prices and what is included or not. We rescheduled our wedding twice due to COVID and she was super responsive throughout. I ended up booking a trial and so glad I did! From the trial to wedding day we made some tweaks to hair and makeup, she got it all spot on! It is so nice to have someone that does both hair and makeup so well. On the day of we also had Ashley to help her and she was just as lovely and talented! We had 12 services and managed to be done early despite starting a little late. They have their work dialed in, you could show them any hair or makeup style and they did it just as requested! You will not be disappointed with Tracy's work and professionalism. She helped make the day perfect for me and my gals! read more

Working with Tracy and Crystal for my makeup was such a wonderful experience! From the beginning Tracy was so helpful and accommodating. Once I was connected with my artist for the weekend,Crystal, I was able to directly confirm the details with her as we got closer to the day. They didn't even bat an eye when I asked to add 2 additional people a few months before the wedding. Crystal was even kind enough to accommodate my mom doing not one but two trials (along with my trial) when she decided she wanted a completely different look than what she trialed. Tracy and Crystal helped make our day seamless and all of my girls looked beautiful! I can't recommend Goddess Effect Artistry enough and can't thank Tracy and Crystal enough for their hard work on our big day! read more

Tracy is phenomenal!! She is such a good makeup artist and hairstylist, and she was really able to make the vision I had for my wedding come to life. I highly recommend her for your wedding, big event, or even just for your regular hair cut and color! read more

Tracy is AMAZING! Tracy did my makeup and hair for my downtown wedding on 6/9/12. She really adjusts to what you want and did a fantastic job. My trial (months before) was a bit rocky in that her assistant was not the best, so I DO recommend ONLY having tracy do your hair and makeup.* Other than that, she can create any style you want and if you don't like it, Tracy will adjust. She truly cares about her clients and making them happy. She is always on time and easy to work with. She stays true to her contract and I always felt comfortable with her. I would recommend Tracy to anyone in the Chicagoland area for hair/makeup! read more

Goddess Effect Artistry is the best of the best. They came on time to my house and were ready to do both hair and makeup in 2 hours for 8 girls. Each one of us had a different requests and they were able to accommodate all of them, which shows how much talent they have. We all felt so beautiful and it showed up so nicely in the photos. I highly recommend Tracy for your wedding. You will not be disappointed. read more

Goddess Effect Artistry - Notice the detail, a heart bun. I have never seen this before! So beautiful . - Makeup Artists Near Me

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. The morning of my wedding these hair and makeup artists showed up 2 hours later than the time I was promised, as they had booked another party before mine. They continued to lie and say they were close until they finally arrived 2 HOURS LATE. They arrived with a hair stylist, makeup artist, and two assistants. The assistants could only curl hair and because of the time crunch were actually giving hair styles to my bridesmaids, which were not to the same quality as the main hair stylist. I had to call a friend to come over and be "on deck" to finish makeup. After having an hour left and 5 more bridesmaids to go, I had my friend do eye makeup while the stylist did the face makeup. Needless to say, this was not how the morning of a wedding should go. I would never post anything like this without speaking to the business owner first, unfortunately Tracy was not willing to have a fair discussion and hung up on me in the end and even mentioned that I am "entitled" for expecting better service. read more

Tracy was AMAZING! My husband and I got married on August 15th, 2020. I needed an in-home hair stylist because we did not have time to go to a hair salon with all of the stuff that needed to be done the morning of the wedding. I found Goddess Effect Artistry and decided to give it a try. I was immediately impressed by Tracy's fast responses to my emails and flexibility. I was worried that with a bridal party of 6, we would not get done on time. But Tracy was so fast with her work that we were even done early! Everyone LOVED their hairstyles. I am so happy that I decided to go with Goddess Effect Artistry for our wedding and was glad I had the opportunity to work with Tracy. She was very skilled in her work and flexible to meet all of our needs. I would definitely recommend her and Goddess Effect Artistry to anyone! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tracy and her crew! I got married 9-24-22 at Southern Charm and Tracy did my hair and make up and I looked and felt like the most beautiful bride ever. She is on time, helpful, professional, sweet, fast and is amazing at bringing your vision to life. The makeup did not feel heavy, it did not smudge...literally lasted all night, still looking perfect. I actually stood up in a wedding a few weeks prior to my own and had her do my hair for that wedding as well and she just does a phenomenal job! I highly recommend her and the whole crew! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Goddess Effect Artistry! Tracy did an amazing job on my hair and on my bridesmaids' hair- but where I really think she did the best job was on my makeup. I've never felt so beautiful in my life and everyone kept telling me how my skin looked absolutely perfect on my wedding day. Tracy is very sweet, reasonably priced (especially compared to others in the city who travel) and very talented. She brought along an assistant on my wedding day who was equally as talented. They both worked very fast and we were all ready for the day in no time! My hair and makeup stayed put throughout photos in 80+ degree weather, 100s of hugs and kisses, and hours of booty shaking on the dance floor. It was seriously beauty magic. I hope to be able to use Goddess Effect Artistry again in the future for another fancy event or maybe just to surprise my husband on a date night! read more

Tracy (and her colleague Brittany) took care of hair and make-up for my wedding on 11/2. Each and every one of the women were beyond pleased with the results. Tracy is so talented. She was also a great presence during the morning of. My aunt was *very* excited to watch her work and Tracy was patient and kind the entire time, which I was appreciative of. I can't recommend Goddess Effect Artistry more! read more

Contracted services for June 20, 2015. Goddess Effect Artistry is awesome! Tracy and Crystal came to my wedding location and in about 3.5 hours finished seven hairdos and eight airbrush makeups. They were fun and professional, and everyone looked flawless and amazing. My makeup and hair held up through an entire night of dancing. By the way, as a bride who was trying to be frugal, Tracy was BY FAR the least expensive, professional-quality artist around. I highly recommend her to other brides - this is one choice you won't be worrying about on the big day! read more

Tracy and her team (Brittany, Missi, and Ashley) did an amazing job on my and my bridal party's hair and make up for my Chicago wedding! I couldn't be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out. My wedding was rescheduled twice due to the pandemic and Tracy was so flexible allowing me to switch my date both times. Tracy also did Bellami extensions on my hair and I loved how they turned out! read more

Tracy and Crystal did the makeup and hair for my wedding on 12/21/19. We had 9 women and 2 flower girls who got the works! I also had 2 trials with Crystal for both my engagement photos and my shower. They were on time and worked so efficiently together and made us all look beyond beautiful! We had long hair, short hair, up do's and down and they couldn't have been more amazing. I was beyond happy with my wedding look and can't stop looking at the photos. The pricing is also very reasonable for what you are getting, and you won't have to worry about your look all day and night! I will highly recommend them to any friends or family. read more

I used Goddess Effect Artistry for my 9/25 wedding and Tracy is great! I was excited about airbrush make-up and it turned out beautiful-flawless and natural, which is exactly what I wanted! I Tracy is also a doll-she put up with my sister at my hair trial and after I changed my mind about my hairstyle (I don't recommend this-it was nuts trying to find the appropriate hair piece and I think I threw Tracy for a complete loop! It was really my fault, not hers!) and Tracy rolled with it like a total pro! She is always in touch and her response times to texts/ emails is prompt. Her prices are fair and on par with hair trial/makeup and day-of on-site services. I highly recommend Goddess Effect Artistry! read more

We used their airbrush make-up services for our December 2015 wedding. I would recommend this makeup artist. They arrived early, didn't say much, but know make-up and were responsive what we wanted. The quality of their service is good for their price. read more

I got married Saturday 6/15 and I never felt so beautiful in my life. Everyone in my wedding party looked amazing. Tracy also did my mother, mother in law and aunts hair and makeup and they were all so happy. I would highly recommend this company to any Bride. My makeup stayed on all night and I got so many compliments. Thank you so much for making us all feel so great on my big day. read more

Working with Tracy and her amazing team of girls at Goddess Effects Artistry was nothing short of amazing. They did everything in their power to make my special day and everything leading up to it go as smoothly as possible. All of my questions were answered promptly, my trial was easy to make happen even with my hectic work schedule, my hair and makeup girls arrived early the day of to set up and get the ball rolling, and they left me and my girls in awe with how absolutely beautiful we all looked and felt. I honestly couldn't have gotten any more lucky than to have found them. read more

I absolutely Goddess Effect Artistry! They are the BEST! I had my hair and makeup done for my brother's wedding, for which I was a bridesmaid, and the end result was stunning!!! The makeup was done with an airbrush. It not only came out looking flawless (no lines, looked perfectly natural) but also was a very comfortable experience, like slight breeze. It didn't even feel like I was wearing any makeup at all, which I valued a lot because I never wear foundation in the first place. Throughout the day, the makeup did not budge a bit, even though I wiped my face several times because I was getting all teary-eyed during the ceremony. The hair was also amazing! It looked like I could have been a bride myself! She made these adorable curls that stick on the side of the updo, and throughout the entire windy day, nothing was out of place. After seeing everyone's photos from the wedding, I saw that everything looked picture perfect. I will definitely be coming back to Goddess Effect for every future event (especially if I getting married!!!). I highly recommend Goddess Effect Artistry! They are exceptionally skilled artists, that provide gorgeous services in a very professional (and timely!) manner. read more

I got married on 03-23-13. Tracy and her team came to my hotel to get myself and my girls ready for my big day. I must say I have been in more weddings than I have fingers, and have never liked my hair or make-up! Tracy did a fabulous job on my hair! I could not have been happier, I felt like a million bucks! She was able to make my hair look like exactly what I had pictured in my head, even though I didn't describe it that well! She is fabulous! I will recommend her to everyone I know! My make up was also fantastic. Initially, I felt the eye shadow was darker than I was used to, and they lightened it up and made it perfect! I usually have a hard time asking for things to be changed, but they made me feel so comfortable and I know they wanted me to love how I looked! After Tracy and her team left, I noticed my veil was on backwards, and she rushed back to fix it for me, and without any hesitation. Tracy and her team are wonderful, attentative and exactly what every bride is looking for! read more

Tracey did an amazing job getting me ready for my wedding day! Airbrushed makeup, hair, eyelashes...her work was awesome . My ceremony was at 10am with pictures starting at 8:30. Tracey was at my hotel room by 6:30am with a smile. Makeup held up perfectly thru dinner and dancing and looked great in pics. She is a true artist. Worth every penny! read more

I had a hard time finding someone I liked to do the hair and makeup for my wedding. The first trial I had was OK, but I wasn't super happy with either the hair or makeup. The second trial was terrible because the makeup artist cancelled last minute twice. It became clear that it was going to be hard to find a great hair and makeup artist that I liked in my budget. Tracy blew me away. She was affordable, professional, kind, and AMAZING at makeup and hair. I have a ton of hair and she was able to work with it and I am very particular about my makeup (so I was looking for airbrush, which she does) and she made me look the best I ever have. She brought 2 friends with her on the day of the wedding, and they did a wonderful job on everyone. She was able to handle seven bridesmaids and myself, the bride. She even put on eyelash extensions within her reasonable price. All of our makeup and hairdos looked perfect all day and night! So happy I hired her! read more

Crystal did me and my daughter's make up for my sister's wedding! She did an amazing job! We didn't even have a trial make up session which is pretty impressive that she knew what she was going to do. She was very meticulous when doing all the bridesmaids and even altered her make up process per bridesmaid because of their unique skin tone and did not treat us like an assembly line. Our make up was flawless and perfect and our pictures look fantastic! Highly recommend! read more

We booked Tracy and her team for my wedding after seeing how her hair and makeup stayed put in my sister's 108 degree outdoor wedding. She was very professional and also totally open to making any adjustments you request in order to get your look the way you want. It turned out to be the best decision since my hair and makeup stayed exactly the same through the whole day with no touch ups needed -- including a Windy City first look photoshoot all the way through to our after-party that ended at 2am. Highly recommended. read more

Tracy was so professional and did an amazing job. Everyone looked gorgeous, and it all lasted from early morning through the day and night. My daughter, the bride, was so happy with Tracy's work. I would definitely ask her to do my other daughter's wedding. read more

I booked Goddess Effect Artistry for my wedding in August, and they did an AMAZING job! Tracy and her assistant are both incredibly talented, very professional, and efficient. They had 4 beautiful updos and 4 flawless makeup applications finished in no time! I couldn't have been happier with how absolutely BEAUTIFUL everyone looked and how long the makeup lasted! Everyone's hair and makeup still looked perfect at the end of the night (10 hours later!!!) Tracy will travel to you, and her prices are very reasonable. They do such a fantastic job! I cannot recommend Tracy & her team enough! THANK YOU!!!!! read more

I 100% recommend Goddess Effect Artistry for all hair and makeup needs! Tracy was amazing!!! From planning the trial session to coming right to my hotel the day off the wedding she made everything so convenient. And on top of the convenience and the totally reasonable pricing, she is so talented. I had never done airbrush makeup before and was a little nervous but Tracy made my skin look flawless. She really listened to what I wanted as well as the rest of my bridal party. My entire experience from start to finish was perfect! read more

Tracy and Deena are absolutely amazing and make an amazing team. I had a trial with both Tracy and Deena for hair and makeup and never questioned whether I'd use them or not. I showed Tracy pictures of what I wanted and then decided on a final. Tracy could see I wasn't 100% comfortable having my hair a certain way so she suggested leaving my hair down (which I did not want) BUT she couldn't have been more right! I added extensions (highly recommend and her suggestion) to make my hair fuller. I continued to send her ideas because I kept questioning myself but she knew just what to do! I left my hair down for the ceremony but partially pulled back, and before my reception she whipped up a new hair style so that I could keep it out of my face. I had so many compliments on the style change and the style of both themselves. She truly knows her stuff and I felt comfortable allowing her to make suggestions. Deena is also amazing! I don't wear a ton of makeup and like more natural looks and she nailed it! All of my bridesmaids did something like mine and were extremely happy with the results. The airbrushing was phenomenal and the look was exactly what I asked for. I also struggled with a lip color since I rarely wear lipstick, the day of I told her I still didn't know and she pulled a color out and BOOM loved it! This duo is very easy to work with and will NOT be offended if you don't like something that was done, they immediately work with you to find either a hairstyle or makeup pallet that makes you feel beyond amazing. Love both of the girls and will keep them in mind for other events that I may have in the future. The package they offer is a great deal as well, especially for what you get. read more

I highly recommend Tracy for hair and makeup. I research for prices and Tracy is by far the best you'll come by. The quality of the her work is amazing! I have only used professional for hair and makeup a handful of times. I was never a fan and preferred doing it myself because others never were able to give me what I want and made me look like a china doll. Cute but not for me. I showed Tracy what I wanted and in an instant, she got it and did exactly what I wanted. If I needed to, I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. And she's faster than anyone I've seen. I have a lot of hair which usually takes a long time to do anything with. She had it finished in no time. Great service for a great price read more

I used Tracy for my wedding on 9/17/16 and I highly recommend her. Tracy brought an assistant to do makeup while she did hair for myself, 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. Tracy and her assistant were prompt, friendly, and made the morning getting ready so much more fun and stress-free. Tracy does a beautiful job and everybody's hair and makeup looked perfect and lasted all day through pictures in the 80 degree heat, and all night through dancing. I cannot recommend Tracy enough. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever and was so fast and efficient that we were done in plenty of time. Tracy did both my hair and makeup and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. I even woke up the next day and kept it on and it still looked natural through the following day. On top of all that, my bracelet broke when I put it on and Tracy was able to fix it with eyelash glue and it held up all day. She's a life saver and so talented at what she does! read more

Tracy was wonderful, she did a beautiful job on my bridal hair and makeup as well as makeup for my bridesmaids. We were all very happy! I will recommend goddess effect artistry to my friends and family! read more

Tracy Tiffany Keller did my hair and makeup for my wedding as well as my maid of honor, she was AMAZING!!! Her prices were very reasonable, and she was very friendly, and anytime I had a question she got back to me right away. I had no pictures to show her what exactly I wanted but she listened and brought to life the vision in my head, I never felt more beautiful in my life. I hope to work with her again, and I would highly recommend her to friends and family. read more

The bride's and bridesmaids hair and makeup turned out beautiful. Received compliments from everyone all night long!

i was completely overwhelmed with yelp reviews for hair/makeup options for my wedding. i asked my photographer for a recommendation, and she suggested tracy and goddess effect artistry. i reached out to tracy, and she responded quickly and had very reasonable prices, so i decided to book her. we had a mid-morning ceremony with immediate family only, and tracy and her assistant, deena, showed up on time and ready to work. tracy did the hair for my sister, mom, and me, and deena did makeup for me, my sister, my mom, and my now mother-in-law. everybody's hair and makeup came out amazing. i showed tracy a picture on pinterest to give her an idea of what i wanted, and she captured my vision flawlessly! my hair held all day and i felt absolutely beautiful. i told deena i wanted soft makeup, and was amazed how she, too, captured my vision! i did not have a trial session for either my hair or makeup and just decided to trust the process, and couldn't have been more happy. my family members were also thrilled, and we all felt beautiful. thanks to tracy and deena for being so professional and making us all look and feel great! read more
