I seriously felt like the most beautiful version of myself. The artists were not only punctual but also incredibly personable and lovely to work with, making the morning enjoyable from start to finish.

Review Spotlight: "The lovely ladies at Pink Palette did my hair/makeup for both my bridal portraits and my wedding day, as well as hair/makeup for my matron of honor and mother of the bride at the wedding. My experience was spectacular. In the past when I've had makeup professionally done, it felt heavy and I didn't feel like ME. This was the exact opposite - I felt confident, beautiful, fresh and natural, but with lashes for DAYS. =) Debbie and her team were great at utilizing inspiration photos, listening and adjusting based on our needs and wanting each of us to feel 100% the way we wanted to feel and look. I also LOVED that they mixed my lipstick in their studio and created a tube for touch ups, labeling it with my new married name. What a memorable touch!

I was so impressed with her prompt communication and follow up game (which is especially helpful when you have your plate full planning all the details of your wedding, it helps to have vendors who are on top of their game). I appreciate that she always asked for example photos so she could get the exact vision of what you wanted in mind while also being reasonable in helping you decide what would look good with your skin tone/hair type. A gem of a person! You need someone like her on your team on such a stressful day. I LOVED the work she did, endless compliments on my makeup and hair. It lasted all day and didn't smudge."
