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.

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

She explained every step of the process (with 'why', for my scientifically minded kid) and gave her choices throughout the lesson.

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.

"Best recommendation I ever received"!!!…read more I was recently talking to a good friend about how I was feeling down in the dumps about my looks and thinking about getting some work done. I mentioned a permanent lip enhancement, having the bags under my eyes removed and taking away what my mother loving called "A Turkey Neck" with a face lift. My friend suggested that I contact Lorin Cole before spending a fortune on plastic surgery and have her do a "makeover" for me. I wasn't sure as I have had my make-up done before and was lets say...very unhappy and never felt natural when they were done. Since I really didn't want to go "under the knife" I felt it was worth a call. Well it was the BEST thing I have ever done! I could not believe the transformation and in fact didn't recognize the younger woman staring back at me in the mirror when she was done. Aside from the age difference, my makeup was flawless and extremely natural. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to duplicate my "youthful look" but proved myself wrong. I don't think I have ever met anyone with such patience and skill for teaching. Lorin spent a lot longer than the scheduled consultation time and would not except more money (which I was gladly willing to pay). She explained to me that it was more important the I was happy with the final result. She showed me step by step how to do the "tricks" at home that made me feel so much better about myself. Lorin is a true artist and one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever dealt with. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Some points: - Lorin plucked and removed a large segment of my eyebrow, despite my telling her not to do so - Lorin didn't have a foundation color that matched my skin tone (shocking for a professional makeup artist). When I told her that I thought the color didn't match my skin, she tried to tell me that the color itself wasn't important and I need to go find my color by myself at a cosmetics store, when this was exactly one of the reasons I was paying for a lesson - the space itself was cluttered and tiny. I sat on a stool in a tiny bathroom throughout the lesson. The lighting in this bathroom was also quite poor and yellow in tone, which wasn't conducive to seeing and matching colors. At the end of the lesson, my face looked bizarre and the end makeup look wasn't flattering. When I told her I wanted to remove it before leaving, she commented, "don't worry, this is NYC, there are lots of crazy-looking people walking on the streets." Just, wow.

I had to turn back around and drive another 3.5 hrs back home.

Hi, I don't…read moretypically review, but the service by Face the Day NY was beyond exceptional to leave unsaid. I had Kim (make-up) and Robbie (hair) as the stylists for my wedding. I was very picky, yet did not know what I had wanted -- I'd say one of the worst clients to have! But both Kim and Robbie worked with me through very long trials (thanks to them) to work out the look. Because we went through so many changes, I was unsure if we had nailed it. Both Kim and Robbie were confident that they knew the direction. On the day of the wedding, they came in very professional, and did an amazing job. It was exactly what we had aimed for. For the make-up, minimal, fresh, clean, radiant; for the hair, we had a braided up-do with a bit of height, loose in some areas, and structured in others. Kim had done some homework on eyelashes (I have Asian eyelashes...) and she put some extra time in figuring out the look with me -- many, many thanks to her, could not have been better. All in all, I recommend Face the Day NY to anyone, for their commitment to helping clients feel beautiful in their own skin.
