I choose Stephanie Brick as my makeup artist for my wedding last year. First, i must say that I've been friends with Stephanie for many years but that had nothing to do with my decision to book her. I checked out prices and work of a couple of other artists and Stephanie was by far the best price for the level of work. Once i booked her she got an idea of what look I was going for and I sent her some pictures of ideas and styles I had. She asked about my skin tone, my skin type, color palette, etc. Next we set an appointment for the trial run. She came to my house with all her supplies in tow and worked through some of the looks we discussed. She tried out different colors for lips, cheeks, and foundation and then did my full make up to show me what I could look forward to based on my specifications. She took lots of pictures and was very attentive to my wants and needs.
The day of my wedding came and she arrived early. Her kit and supplies were even more extensive than the trial but she was super organized. We also planned for her to do makeup for my bridesmaids. She had the timing figured out and knew exactly how much time she could spend on each person. Everyone looked flawless and my bridesmaids were thrilled that they didn't have to worry about doing their own makeup the day of. While, she did different looks for each person she also maybe everyone mesh and used color tones that complimented the dress colors and wedding theme. She did my makeup up in waves, allowing me to spend time with my bridal party and left plenty of time for me to get dressed. Once everyone was ready to go she went back and touched up anything she felt needed a second look.
I was more than happy with my own make up. I wear make up daily but not a lot and was very adamant about looking beautiful but not fake. I wanted to look great but still like myself. She achieved this flawlessly.
The best part about having Stephanie as my make up artist was that she was professional but not stiff. She was fun to have around while we are getting ready and really made the experience stress free and easy, which every bride should covet on their already stress-ridden wedding day.
Stephanie really knows her stuff. She has the best products and her brushes and kit was clean and organized. I could tell she prepared specifically for my event and that made me feel special and resulted in beautiful make up on not just me but the girls that stood beside me in my big day. She gave me great tips and pointers for everyday makeup wear in the process and was just all around awesome. She tailored her tools and skills to execute what I asked for, not just what she thought was best, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed.
You couldn't make a better choice than Stephanie Brick when it comes to make up for an event or wedding. read more
