What to say? Booking Lynn for my wedding day makeup was hands down THE best decision I made during wedding planning. I spent hours (and I mean HOURS) trying to decide who to book. Wedding makeup is one of the most important decisions a bride has to make after all, right? Well, I am SO happy I booked Lynn. I would honestly book her all over again if I could--she was, by and far, my favorite vendor.
First off, Lynn is the kindest, sweetest person. It was so easy to talk to her during my trial and on the day of my wedding; honestly, talking to her really felt like talking to an old friend. She is very down to earth, and was also very receptive to any feedback I had for her after my trial, which I really appreciated. Lynn addressed any questions, concerns, or changes I had after my trial (of which there were very few) right away and the overall look she created for me ended up being absolutely perfect.
The time and effort Lynn puts into creating her looks was evident to me during my time working with her. Months before my wedding, Lynn asked me several questions about the look I was hoping for, what my usual makeup/hair routine is, and also for inspiration photos and photos of both my daily and going-out makeup looks. From there, she suggested possible ideas and routes we could go down, and we went back and forth until we settled on a look. Honestly, there wasn't too much back and forth in this case though because she seemed to understand what I was looking for very quickly. The whole process was very collaborative though and, again, Lynn was very receptive to my wishes.
Lynn did both my hair and makeup, and I truly felt so beautiful on my wedding day. There is no doubt in my mind that Lynn is super skilled when it comes to her craft. I really wanted a natural look, and out of all the work samples I saw during my research into makeup artists, Lynn's looks seemed the most natural to me. I was so pleased with the result and did not feel over done at all; the amount of makeup was just right. Another important thing for me was that I really wanted to wear a flower crown on my special day, and Lynn was able to incorporate it into my look easily.
Also, I just want to say that we ended up booking groom services for my husband too (unfortunately, he had a cut on his face day of from bumping into a sharp corner) and I am SO happy we did. My husband looked so good after Lynn was done working her magic on him! The makeup she applied looked very natural and his hair was great too! My husband enjoyed talking to Lynn as well, and I think he was super relieved to not have to worry about fixing his hair day-of (he's the kind of guy who just wings it whenever I force him to put gel in his hair for nice events lol).
The BEST thing about Lynn though was her responsiveness. I truly don't know how she does it, but Lynn is so, so good at responding to emails quickly. As an out-of-state bride, it was sometimes nerve-racking to have to wait several days for responses from some vendors, but I never had to deal with this with Lynn. I was so impressed!
Honestly, I could go on and on about how amazing Lynn is, but it really just all comes down to this: stop your looking and book Lynn. You won't regret it.
Thank you Lynn and I hope that we can work together again the next time I am in Hawaii! :) read more
