Jackie did the makeup for my wedding in October 2011. Her work was simply phenomenal. For me, she did an elegant, classic look that photographed and wore well. I looked and felt beautiful. For my bridesmaids she created looks that matched their styles and personalities wonderfully. She had no problem managing my large bridal party and getting everyone done within our time constraints. Jackie is a lovely person. She made me feel very relaxed and comfortable--a big plus on your wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Jackie to any bride. I would also suggest doing a trial beforehand. I liked being able to try different looks. However, with an amazing makeup artist like Jackie, it's probably not as issue to do everything day of. Jackie will make sure you are a happy, beautiful bride. read more

Jackie took the time in the consultation to really understand what kind of look I wanted. Through her experience and expertise with bridal makeup, she helped me to make some other decisions that I was unsure of. On the day of my wedding I was extremely happy with my bridesmaids makeup and overjoyed with my makeup. Jackie managed to make me look natural, elegant and beautiful. I felt confident and beautiful. I would recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist for her big day. read more

Jackie did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She came up with fun style with a vintage flair that looked great with both my grandmother's 1941 high-backed, long-sleeved dress I wore for the ceremony and a strapless tea-length 50s-style party dress I wore for the reception. I felt completely comfortable and beautiful and the photos look great. Jackie was always considerate of my concerns and a pleasure to be around - the kind of calm, reassuring presence that you want to spend the hours before your wedding around! read more

I hired Jackie to do makeup for my engagement shoot. I don't wear much make-up normally and I was really nervous I wouldn't look like myself. She did an amazing job. She made me feel comfortable, and worked with me to make sure that I looked beautiful and natural and not overdone, which is exactly what I wanted. She stayed through the whole shoot for touch-ups so I didn't have to worry about re-applying, etc. It was perfect. I highly recommend Jackie. She's a pleasure to work with, she's flexible and her rates are totally reasonable. read more

What a woman. Arranging a whole wedding from across the country is no picnic. Jackie was communicative, prompt, friendly and understanding from the very beginning. She waved the trial because it was a destination wedding, thank goodness, and was extremely patient with me and my maid of honor when she showed up and asked what we'd like, and we didn't have a definitive answer. Honestly, I'm really glad we didn't have a mental image of what we wanted, because we put our faith in her and she didn't disappoint. We pretty much let her do her thing, and she made us look fabulous. My hair and makeup held up incredibly though the ceremony and party, which was incredible because it was 90 degrees and humid. I completely forgot to touch up with powder and lip gloss, but it didn't even matter, I looked great at the end of the night. Jackie anticipated what my hair would do in those conditions and did such a good job at the updo, I... kept it up for another day. It was just so beautiful and stayed so well through sleep! I highly recommend her, and really enjoyed her craft and personality. Thank you, Jackie. I can't tell you how much Ann and I enjoyed your services. read more

Jackie Schneider Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Jackie did my hair and makeup for my wedding last month and I absolutely loved working with her and loved how she made me look. I barely know how to apply my own makeup or do anything with my hair beyond drying it with a towel, and Jackie patiently worked with me during the trial to figure out what would work best. I wanted to have as few wedding vendors as possible and was ecstatic to find someone who could do makeup and hair equally well. After the trial, I felt like the makeup was a bit too much, so she modified it for the wedding so that I still looked glammed up but was comfortable. I enjoyed hanging out with her and appreciated how patient she was when my wedding day dressing room transformed into a busy friend reunion as all my ladies started arriving with champagne and high energy. I would absolutely hire Jackie again to transform me into a 1920s superbabe. read more

8 months later and here it is! if you want an artist who really takes the time to get to know you and your aesthetic - jackie is the one :) i am a bare bones kind of hair and make-up gal. so when it came to making a decision of what i wanted my wedding look to be, i started googling and looking on pinterest. i found a ton of photos of what i liked... the problem was that it was all pictures of other people. i ended up having 2 trials. turns out that my first try just wasn't me. the reason i went back for a second trial with jackie and not just starting anew with someone else, was because she really got me. she knew something was off. like i said before, i really don't take a lot of time with my hair and make-up. so when i got home and started looking at the photos i knew this wasn't the look i wanted. it wasn't the make-up - that was pretty much spot on- it was the hair. turns out i ain't a messy up-do kind of girl. even though jackie made it look really good, i realized it wasn't what i wanted for the wedding. when i reached out to jackie, she completely understood and i scheduled another trial. the second time around- she nailed it. i truly believe the reason that she is so amazing is because she takes the time to ask the right questions and really listen. the whole wedding day i felt beautiful. thank you, jackie. read more

Wow. Jackie was fantastic to work with. She did a great job during my wedding consultation a couple of days prior to my wedding in October 2013. However, I didn't feel like I would be completely comfortable wearing the hair and makeup that we had discussed during the trial. Over the next day or so I tried to figure out what I needed done differently. On the morning of the wedding, I had a better idea of the few small changes that I needed. She listened, thought about it for a little while and then completely embraced my ideas and made them her own. I have never felt more beautiful. My hair AND makeup lasted until I got home at 4 am after a long night out dancing with my husband (yay!) and our friends. The photos are absolutely stunning, much thanks to Jackie. read more

Jackie as an absolute legend. I hired her for my July 4th wedding and she was nothing but amazing. I had her to do my hair and makeup and her assistant to do my bridesmaids makeup. She nailed my brief to perfection and I am still getting comments on how amazing my hair was. I wanted something very non-traditional, opting for a messy fishtail braid with a flower crown and twine braided through. The style looked effortless and rustic which is exactly what i was going for. It didn't budge all day (and even if it did it would have added to the rustic chic) and needless to say was on the receiving end of many many comments. Love this girl. read more

Jackie did my makeup for a photoshoot and it was a great experience. She made me look and feel so pretty! (And she was fun to chat with!)

I was searching and searching for the right hair and makeup artist for my wedding when I found Jackie Schneider's website. I fell in love with her portfolio and really wanted to book her. Unfortunately I called and emailed Jackie numerous times and she never got back to me. In the end I had to go with someone who returned my calls. read more

I have had the pleasure of being made-up and coiffed by Jackie on numerous occasions. She listens...and that is a really big deal. I have a lot of fear when it comes to letting someone cut my hair, but I trust Jackie and that is because she listens closely and then asks direct questions to make sure we're on the same page. In addition to being professional and reliable, she's also a lot of fun to chat with. I highly recommend Jackie! read more

Jackie is the best! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding on June 21, 2014 and she made me look gorgeous. I don't tend to wear a ton of makeup and really wanted to look like myself at my wedding, but still wanted enough makeup for our professional photos, and she did an amazing job (and she also made my bridesmaids look beautiful). Definitely do the trial since Jackie spends a lot of time with you then so that on your big day you are not worried about a thing relating to your hair/mu. I would recommend her to all of my friends and to any brides out there in the BK. She's GREAT! read more

Jackie did make-up for my wedding for me, 4 bridesmaids, and the two moms. She did an amazing job and brought out everyone's natural beauty! I am really into make-up and super picky and Jackie didn't mind my nit-pickyness about the exact thickness of the eyeliner, etc. -- she totally nailed it and my photos all came out beautifully. She's also just such a cool and calming presence. Highly recommend! read more

Jackie Schneider is a pro! I am a photographer and I've worked with Jackie at a couple weddings as well as on some editorial jobs. On the weddings we shot together the bride's (and bridesmaids) makeup was flawless and it looked amazing throughout the entire day. She's professional and reliable, has a great personality and does a excellent job. I would definitely recommend her. read more

Jackie has done my hair and makeup on a number of different shoots and here's what I like about her: - She has an amazing eye. She knows exactly how to create a make-up look that feels great on my skin and looks exactly how it should on camera. V. Important! - She's has some mad skills. Jackie can make my hair get into complex styles and stay there (not an easy feat with my fine locks.) Again, she knows how styling translates on camera. I totally trust that she will make me look good. - Jackie can create all kinds of looks. She' s made me look like a blushing belle and a rock-n-roller, but it never looks fake or cartoon-y. She's awesome at making glamor seem very natural. Perhaps most important, as well as being v. professional and a make-up perfectionist (a trait I LOVE in a make-up artist) Jackie is friendly and relaxed and really fun to work with. Looking forward to working with her again in the future! read more

Jackie did my makeup for my fabulous October wedding. I was a pretty laid back bride and I was looking for a down to earth CALM makeup artist, Jackie definitely met those requirements. As soon as I met her I knew she was the right person for me. She listened to everything I wanted and executed it beyond my expectations. My makeup was gorgeous on my wedding day, but more importantly her calm energy and her desire to make sure everything was just right made my day that much more enjoyable. I would always give her my highest recommendation and I am sure I will find a reason to use her talents again in the future. There is so much to worry about the day of, but if you choose Jackie, your makeup will not be one them. read more

Jackie was amazing. She was so patient through my indecisiveness and went through so many options for my trial. I ended up picking one of her ideas for my hair because it was so beautiful! She was prompt, responsive, hilarious, and so talented. My husband is not a huge fan of makeup but he thought I looked beautiful and that it wasn't heavy--in fact, everyone at the wedding said I was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen! I couldn't be happier with her. My makeup stayed on ALL day, including the lipstick. LOVE!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Jackie. I asked her to do my hair and makeup for a wedding that I was in during the month of February and she did an amazing job. I left her studio around 1pm and my look was still perfect in pictures taken at 1am. She is the ultimate professional and is very friendly and comfortable to be around. Jackie listened to what I was looking for and executed perfectly and also added special touches. She took a lot of care to accentuate my eyes - blending the perfect shadows and adding lashes for that extra oomph. There should be an award for how she covered the dark circles under my eyes. The weekend of the wedding was actually not a blizzard (for once) so I wanted my normally curly hair down in loose waves and she executed perfectly. There was no frizz to be had even after spending time outside during a blustery day. I couldn't have been happier with her skills and I will definitely be using her for any future opportunity for which I get to be gussied up. Her studio is a very quick walk from the Q at 7th and the 2 at Bergen and near the Barclay Center. Very easy to get to from Manhattan or Brooklyn. read more

Jackie was amazing! She made me look stunning on my wedding day. I hired her for hair and makeup for myself and my mom, and she brought in a team of assistants for my bridesmaids and flower girl. We all looked and felt beautiful. Jackie and her team were professional, and a delight to work with. They finished on time, worked straight through the day (I literally didn't see any of them take a break, especially Jackie!), which was amazing. My hair and makeup lasted the entire day, flawlessly. My makeup even lasted the day after, and miraculously didn't smudge, so I got to enjoy it for 2 full days! Jackie and I had done a trial a few months before, but the hair and makeup on my wedding day were even better than I had remembered. She really worked with the headpiece I had chosen, and brought to life my vision for the day. I feel so fortunate to have chosen her for my wedding hair and makeup. read more

Picking Jackie Schneider as my hair/makeup artist for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made in the whole process! Starting from the very beginning when we had my trial appointment, we really clicked. She's so easy to talk to, which is important when you're going to spend hours together on your wedding day! She also helped me come to the realization, after a few trial hairstyles that day, that I didn't actually want the hairstyle I had thought I wanted. I ended up LOVING the hairstyle we picked together, and got so many compliments on my wedding day on that and my makeup. Jackie and her associate also did my bridesmaids, mom, and even tidied up my husband's man bun :) Everyone looked stunning. I can't speak highly enough of Jackie! Highly, highly recommend. read more

Jackie, with a small team did my entire bridal party's hair and makeup for my wedding this February. And WOW. Not only was she extremely organized - she sent me an hour by hour schedule of what time they would need to set up as well as time slots for each lady to keep everything on schedule but she is SO talented. Everyone looked so beautiful. I typically don't wear tons of makeup and she made my skin look flawless - without caking on tons of product. I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day and I have Jackie to thank for that! read more

Jackie did my makeup for my wedding this past June and did a fantastic job! It was actually the third time I had seen her work (2 previous weddings also) and I knew it was going to be great. Jackie asks what you want and sticks to it, but she also offers helpful hints about styles if you aren't sure. You will not be dissappointed! I don't typically wear a lot of make up and she made it look effortless and elegant! Jackie is AMAZING!!! read more

I hired Jackie to do my make-up for my engagement photos in October. She did a great job of applying "natural glam" for my woodsy photoshoot at the Delaware Water Gap. She was really nice and personable and I would definitely recommend her! read more

Jackie is absolutely awesome at what she does. She has a funny, warm personality, is incredibly patient and creative, and is just a pleasure to be around. And, of course, she is highly skilled with hair and make-up and made me look gorgeous, modern and stylish! She is able to execute a variety of looks, as evidenced by the vintage glam look she created for me, the subtle beauty she did for my mom, and the super young, cute look she did for my teen bridesmaid. Jackie has a calm, professional presence that is so important during a stressful time: having Jackie around during my wedding day definitely helped to calm my jangled nerves! read more

Jackie did hair and makeup for myself, my mother, MIL, and SIL for my wedding in September. She was fabulous. Very professional and just really enjoyable to have with us as we were getting ready. She also brought an assistant to help and while I can't remember her name (sorry!), she was also great. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you, Jackie!! read more

Jackie did an AMAZING job for my daughter's wedding. She came to our hotel and did makeup and hair with a wonderful assistant, Brittany, for the bride, four bridesmaids, and the mother of the bride. Every single person said it was by far the best makeup they had ever ever had, and the hairdos were simply outstanding. I was a particular challenge because I hate makeup and hair, yet they managed to make me look perfectly natural yet much, much better!! They honored every single request (e.g. "no eye makeup" from me) and Jackie is soooo good with people! She was lovely and charming and fun and low-key, and whenever there was a disagreement with the understandably nervous bride about what she wanted for us all, Jackie managed to diplomatically stay out of the disagreement yet be so calm and welcoming and natural that the stress level went waaaay down. Thank you so much, Jackie! read more

Written by Elizabeth on Mike's account: I hired Jackie for my wedding this past weekend, and she was simply amazing. She did an incredible job for me, my mom, and my sister-in-law. She made me look like a prettier version of myself, while keeping it largely subtle and not too dramatic. I am so grateful to Jackie also because she was so calm and professional, which is exactly the kind of personality you want around as the excitement of the day builds. Thanks, Jackie!! read more

Jackie and her assistant just did the hair and makeup for my wedding, and it was stunning. I really wanted someone who would make the makeup look "natural." I've been to too many weddings where the makeup is just caked on. Not this time. Her work was beautiful, elegant yet bold at the same time. Jackie was responsive and flexible for my mom and I, who both had trials. On the day of she was organized and punctual. She really kept us ladies moving along. I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Jackie did my hair and makeup for my wedding in Brooklyn in August. She was phenomenal. I'm not exactly a woman who does hair and makeup on a regular basis, so I had a hard time even articulating to Jackie what I wanted. But she was totally able to get a sense for me and make me over in a way that was very true to me. She has a really keen eye, but even beyond that, I think she works hard to get a good understanding of her clients, which is key for making them look and feel their very best. So I firmly believe that any bride - from a bride who knows exactly what she wants to a bride who isn't sure what looking her best means- would be thrilled with Jackie's services. I also really appreciated how well Jackie managed my expectations - she suggested options I didn't even know existed and was really helpful in making sure I understood the pros and the cons of each. At no point did I feel like she was telling me what I needed to hear or pulling wool over my eyes. She was incredibly professional and reliable, arriving right at 6AM to my hotel room because of my very tight wedding schedule (which I can't say for all of my wedding vendors). She worked out a great schedule for the big day and was very patient and flexible with me. I think her prices are very reasonable, and she is very upfront with any additional costs, so I always knew exactly what her services would cost and could budget accordingly. I think she is equally excellent at both hair and makeup, which I consider a huge asset. I think finding one person who does both well is rare, but it was important to me to deal with fewer vendors (less to manage on the big day). Jackie also hires great assistants - all the mothers, sisters and nieces were very happy with how they looked. She was a very calming presence to be around - I felt totally sure that Jackie wouldn't let me out of her sight/chair until she felt I looked my very best. In short, I cannot recommend her more highly. read more

Jackie recently did all the makeup for my wedding (me, my 3 bridesmaids, and my mom and mother-in-law). From the first time I contacted her all the way through the day of the wedding, it was a total pleasure to work together. At the consultation, she was so sweet and patient, and tried out several looks until I was happy. Through all the planning, she was warm and responsive, and flexible when I had some changes in what my bridal party wanted. For the wedding itself, not only did she do an incredible job on everyone's makeup, but she was also a joy to be with, and contributed her fun, funny, and calming presence to the getting-ready experience. She is a total professional and very talented, while also down to earth and chill. My makeup was awesome - and basically lasted all night (with a few powder touchups) - and I felt beautiful! The most exciting thing was having false lashes applied - I was worried that they would look too over-the-top, but Jackie used a technique that made them look natural and amazing! read more
