We had a girl's trip to Palm Springs and planned to have a photoshoot done. To make the trip extra…read morespecial, I arranged for makeup and hair to be provided for the girls prior to the shoot through Nancy. Corresponding with Nancy was so easy and arranging for the setup and time was a piece of cake! There were four of us and two of us wanted both hair and makeup. As we were getting done, the two other girls decided they wanted their hair done as well and Lidia (Nancy's hair gal) was able to accommodate. Overall, we had the best, most pleasant experience with Nancy & Lidia. We had great conversations and even learned about a couple of her products, tools & tips! Highly recommend! We were ready in a timely fashion and because we all wanted "natural looks", we were all picture perfect!

I am absolutely gutted to be writing this review ahead of schedule but I really wanted to share how…read moreamazing Nancy is. I was meant to get married April 4th at Korakia and I visited Nancy last December for my H&M trial. Unfortunately I had to postpone my wedding to November due to COVID-19, and Nancy was already booked for my new date. I was so gutted because she not only is an AMAZING makeup artist, but a genuine and lovely person. I'm the ultimate introvert who doesn't have the best self confidence so I was nervous about going to my trial but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. (My fiancé and I come from Brooklyn, NY). She made me feel so at ease and really listened to what I wanted. I found in the past artists can just put on your what they think is best without representing your ideas, NOT Nancy. She not only incorporated color/style elements I was interested in but she made them perfect to fit my complexion and makeup goals. I kept telling her I felt like a movie star getting this kind of treatment! The reason I was so interested in working with Nancy was from looking at her IG. She really enhanced the natural beauty of each client instead of covering them up. I found I looked like a "better" version of myself, not like I different person. She is crazy talented and again I'm so sad she's already booked for my new date but I TOTALLY understand why. You'd be silly not to book her for your wedding or special occasion. I also am unfortunately blanking on the lovely girl who did my hair but she was amazing as well!

But now you have lost all of my business and my referrals for future events due to the lack of follow-up.

My make up stayed on point and lots of compliments on the big day. I'm not a big heavy makeup girl. I love that she still made me feel myself by not over doing the glam look. It was very soft and natural.

I was coming in from Iowa and needed to have someone help me style to attend the Palm Springs film festival. Careli came to my hotel. She was very friendly, and I instantly felt comfortable with her. I didn't really know what I wanted to do, but I showed her a couple of pictures of things I like from the Internet. She chose one and within an hour, created a beautiful hairstyle and makeup that made me look 10 years younger and was so natural looking I couldn't believe it! I received so many compliments from people at the event and from pictures I have shared online. I also think Careli's prices are unbeatable . She was amazing and the experience was phenomenal. I highly recommend her.

Nancy was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we did my makeup trial the week before…read morethe wedding, I knew I was in good hands. Not only did she give me the most helpful advice on how to prep my skin for that radiant, dewy finish I was hoping for--she took every piece of feedback and completely understood my vision. She nailed the look for my rehearsal dinner so perfectly that I genuinely didn't think it was possible to top it... but then came the wedding day. And she delivered. My wedding makeup was unreal--warm, glowy, romantic, and exactly what I had hoped for, only better. I felt like the best version of myself, and the look translated beautifully in person and in photos. Nancy also worked seamlessly with Robin Tornabeni, and together they were a total dream team. Everything was calm, organized, and enjoyable--exactly how you hope to feel getting ready for your wedding day. If you're looking for an artist who listens, cares, and creates pure magic, Nancy Andrade Artistry is it. I'd recommend her a thousand times over.

They have helped me plan Christmas parties, birthday parties, and other events. Always on time, prepared, highly skilled, SUPER FUN and ready to help. I highly recommend reaching out to them!

She made my mom, sister, and I feel very welcome and comfortable. My makeup turned out absolutely amazing. Later that night, we went to dinner and out dancing (to test the makeup of course) and it remained perfect throughout the entire evening. We had to move our wedding wedding due to Covid-19. Unfortunately, in the end, we decided to cancel the wedding altogether. I had paid Isabel in full back at the beginning of the year, and she refunded the entire payment without hesitation.
