Melissa and her assistant Maria were so amazing on my wedding day, she helped me find a balance between the drama in the vintage look I wanted without looking like I had a ton of makeup on. She is so fun to work with, was super helpful in planning the looks for myself and my bridesmaids. I could not recommend her more. She made me feel amazing on my big day!

Cherry Le did my makeup for a television premiere last week. It was my first time getting my makeup…read moredone since my wedding almost twelve years ago, and Cherry made this middle-aged mom feel glamorous and red carpet ready. I found Cherry on Yelp and messaged her just a few days ahead of the Tuesday night event. She responded with her quote and the relevant details, and after mulling over whether or not to spend the money, I secured the appointment with a deposit the night before. She only had a 1:00 slot available, but she was able to come to me, meeting me in my hotel room. She arrived right on time with an arsenal of beauty supplies. I liked her immediately. She was so friendly and energetic, and said flattering things about my skin, obviously music to my 39-year-old ears. I had a great time hanging out with her. She asked what I was looking for and I said I was walking a red carpet and just wanted to look good. She took me through her overall plan and started with my eye makeup, layering on colors and checking in to see if I was okay with the level of drama. I didn't know enough to weigh in and let her do her thing, and less than an hour later, I was fully dolled up. She even put fake eyelashes on top of my already fake eyelashes. To be honest, I was a little worried at first. I looked very dramatic for two in the afternoon, and I wondered if I'd let her go overboard. Once I was dressed and at the premiere, though, I felt fairly confident and comfortable and got lots of compliments. I walked the carpet, the second time I've done that in my life, and stood and posed awkwardly for a million photos. I've seen the pictures from both events and am really glad I got my makeup done this time around. The bolder makeup just worked better with those bright lights. I'm not professionally pretty (I'm a writer, which is, if anything, an ugly person's job) so it was fun to get my face painted and hang out with the attractive people who go to television premieres. Thanks to Cherry, I looked as good as my genes would allow. If you're looking for a professional makeup artist in New York City, I'd highly recommend Beauty by Cherry Le. She's a sweetheart, and she does excellent work.

Cherry is an amazing artist. I was looking for someone to do my wedding makeup who would create a…read moresubtle, clean look that would photograph well and she killed it! My makeup was flawless, lasted all night and was exactly what I wanted. She even saved the day by helping me correct a slight spray tan discoloring on my chest Her attention to detail is impressive to watch, but the makeup itself was so light and wearable it almost felt like I had nothing on. Cherry herself is warm, professional and so fun to chat with ! If you ever want event makeup for any reason, I can't recommend her enough

Emi is just phenomenal! Similar to another review posted below, I felt so lucky to book her a few…read moreweeks before our wedding adjacent/reception dinner. Emi has decades of industry experience working with fashion runway, magazines, and corporate styling. She isn't on social media (nor does she need to be), but if you are looking for someone who will do natural, elegant styling for hair and makeup on your wedding day (or in our case, wedding adjacent since we got married a year earlier), Emi is IT. She was totally responsive to preferences I had expressed before and during our session, she used high quality products, and as someone who finds it difficult to find an artist who understands how to do makeup for Asian faces and features, she hit all the marks and more. I was so happy with her work, and I highly recommend her!! 10/10

Emi is my to go lady for more than 10 years , the best color and haircut ever!…read more Her cuts last and when is growing it is like you have a completely a new look . Her magic with hair color is amazing, she'll get the shade you want , she is a perfectionist and loves what she does . I send all my friends to see her for hair or make up as she is an amazing makeup artist. Highly recommend her, high quality products and her final touches are my fav. Her scalp massage when she washes your hair and neck massage at the end of her treatment are magical ...you don't only feel super beautiful but super relaxed She books up fast !! Make your future appointments in advance ....

I trusted the good people who write reviews to make an appointment for my 15 year old. She likes…read moremakeup but she and I are proud, self proclaimed tomboys. But a new high school experience had her feeling unsettled about her beauty regimine. In the appointment with Shara, I discovered that she was first and foremost an incredible listener, as my teen had specific requests. Shara treated my teen like her most important client and answered questions throughout the session. She explained every step of the process (with 'why', for my scientifically minded kid) and gave her choices throughout the lesson. My daughter never felt like she was being pushed into a look that wasn't uniquely her. The best part of all was the hands-on practice which gave my teen enormous confidence. For people who may not feel confident among beauticians like my daughter and me, it was incredibly comfortable and fun and informative. There was no heavy sales pitch to buy products, but we chose to buy some hard to find products for my teen's unique skin tone and couldn't be happier. I'm already planning to return with my daughter for a special skin treatment as a holiday gift.

Booked a very last minute (same day) appointment with Alexandra on my wedding day after deciding I…read moredidn't want to do my own makeup after all (lol). I brought my own foundation to optimize color match. She did an incredible job at accomplishing the soft glam look I was going for. Great work! Will definitely be back

If you're looking for a makeup artist, definitely reach out to Cassie! I needed to get my makeup…read moreand hair done for a formal wedding, and was able to get her services with all of the necessary COVID protocols. (She is super safe, vaccinated, and wears a mask during the session.) I'm not one to really wear makeup and am pretty clueless about what the process entails. Cassie took the time to really listen and figure out what my makeup preferences were (e.g. I didn't want to look like I was caking things on) and made sure that she would deliver on the look that I wanted. My makeup and hair also stayed together for the entire day/set of events (at least 12 hours!) What sets Cassie apart is how she is so supportive throughout the whole makeup and hair process. I reached out with questions on skincare and facials in the days leading up to the wedding, and she took the time to meaningfully answer each one to make sure that the day-of look would be what I wanted. Cassie is an incredible artist and overall human being. Choose her for all of your makeup and hair needs!

Cassandra is brilliant, creative, confident and a pleasure to sit alongside. I give her my highest…read morerecommendation for full professional make up. I count it a true blessing to have run across her information. She made me look so beautiful a stranger stopped in busy Times Square to tell me how spectacular I looked. I will book with Cassandra each time I am in NYC and hope she is available!
