Alex and Sam were truly amazing! Every person who got their makeup done felt so beautiful and kept saying how they were in love with their makeup. I had my makeup done by Alex, I did do a trial and got a facial done by her as well. She is truly so talented! Sam also brought a fun, energetic feel, it was great. They are so professional and fun!
Alex and Sam are the definition of true artists. As someone who has never cared for how my makeup looks photographed when professionally done, I am always apprehensive when in a bridal party or going to an event. My best friend hired A&S Artistry to do our makeup for her wedding, and I was FLOORED. Alex and Sam have a natural instinct for making every person look and feel their best. From the moment you sit in their chair, you feel like you're hanging out with your bestie while she gives you a makeover. Choosing A&S for my bridal makeup was an absolute nonnegotiable - I booked them immediately after booking my venue! They took my vision and made it even better. I am forever an A&S girlie and my love and appreciation for making me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day is endless. Absolute magic!
I had such an amazing experience working with Sam for my wedding day! She helped me to understand the look that I wanted and modify the soft-glam style that I had envisioned to make it perfect for my day! After my trial I decided to have Sam do my makeup for my bridal shower and loved the look even more. We worked together to adjust my wedding day makeup to combine aspects of the trial and the bridal shower to find the perfect look. Sam was so sweet and helpful along the way, which really helped me to feel comfortable and confident on the morning of. I would absolutely recommend using A&S Artistry for your wedding day makeup!
A & S Artistry did my wedding makeup and my entire bridal party, and they were absolutely amazing!!!! I could seriously talk about them ALL DAY! From start to finish, they were so personable and made me feel completely at ease on such an important day. They truly listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond to make me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. My entire bridal party including my Mom and 85 year old Grandmother could not believe how flawless they made us all look. Our makeup stayed PERFECT all night! I’ve never felt more confident or stunning! Not only are they so talented but they are also such genuine kind souls. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for talented and professional makeup artists who also create such a warm and comfortable experience.
Alex was amazing to work with for my wedding! She made my old Hollywood glam vision come to life. The make up was flawless, lasted all night, and I got so many compliments. I felt like the absolute best version of myself possible! 1000% recommend using A & S artistry.
I am SO happy that I went with A & S Artistry for my wedding.
I wear makeup, and I’m super picky with what I wear on a daily basis let alone the most important day of my life. I knew at my trial that I was in good hands. Sam walked me through everything, really listened to my concern areas and what I did and didn’t want, and then she created my vision BUT BETTER!
Sam is super talented and a phenomenal makeup artist. She is also a calming person who will help you feel calm the morning of your wedding which is exactly what I needed.
I had Sam also do my bridal shower makeup which was perfection. I got compliments all day on my makeup.
On the day of the wedding Sam and Alex were awesome. My bridal party which was my closest friends and family looks so beautiful and absolutely loved their makeup! I can’t recommend them enough. If I could give more stars I would! They deserve it. Super professional, organized, accommodating, fun! And just great people who are super talented!! Thank you Sam and Alex I am forever grateful I had you for my wedding day.
I was lucky enough to already have met Alex and Sam prior to booking, as I had been a bridesmaid in multiple weddings who had used them as their makeup artists. After meeting them just once, there was no way I was booking anyone else for my wedding makeup. Every single time that I have gotten my makeup done, which has been quite a few times now, Alex and Sam always make sure that I absolutely love it. And let me say I am very picky as I do not normally wear much makeup. Not only that, it lasts all day and night no matter what the scenario is. Outdoors in September, freezing cold in November, you name it my makeup has been perfect until 2 AM. Alex and Sam made my bridal party, Mom, Grandma, MIL and GIL look even more beautiful than they already are and I truly felt that everyone loved their makeup. I’ve been a bridesmaid multiple times and it’s never the best feeling when you end up unhappy. My Mom and MIL are both so picky and loved their makeup. Not only are Alex and Sam experts in their field and insanely talented makeup artists, they are truly the most amazing, sweetest, most genuine kind hearted and down to earth people you can meet. To me, that was also very important because on my wedding morning, I only wanted to be with people who would make me calm and happy to be around to set the tone for my day. I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day because of Alex. I had to text Alex a selfie at 2 AM on my wedding night because I couldn’t get over how perfectly my makeup stayed the entire day up until I was about to shower and go to bed. I truly cannot recommend Alex and Sam enough. They are both so talented, professional and classy. They come prepared and will never leave you or your bridal party unhappy. Thank you both so much for everything! I can’t wait for my next event so I can get my makeup done by the best again.
I cannnnnot recommend Alex & Sam enough!!! Not only are they amazingly talented, they are so sweet, loving and fun! I felt like I knew them for years, they both make you feel so comfortable and confident. Sam did my makeup, and she is an absolute angel. She is open to any changes you want to make (not that I had any) and suggests what she thinks will look best. I had only met Alex on the day of my wedding, but she is every bit as wonderful as Sam. My mom and bridesmaids had nothing but compliments about my makeup team and I am so grateful I found them. A & S rules!!!
Sam and Alex are top notch! Two beautiful professionals that make you feel and look so good. They listen to what you want and are so sweet. I asked for a nice winged eye liner and lashes. They did not disappoint. I felt so pretty. 10/10 would use them and ONLY them going forward. Highly recommend!
I booked A&S for my wedding on Oct. 14th and I can’t even express enough how amazing they are! Alex has done my makeup for me in the past so I just knew this was the right choice for my wedding. All my bridesmaids looked beautiful, everyone loved their makeup! Alex completely took my vision to life and made me feel beyond beautiful on my wedding day. Everyone was complimenting me and my girls all night! These ladies do not disappoint and they truly care about giving you what you want and making you happy. The best in the game!!!!
Sam & Alex are the BEST! My bridesmaids, mother of the bride & groom, and myself as the bride all used A & S Artistry for my wedding back in May. Although I have known Sam for a long time, her professionalism never ceased to amaze me. From my trial, to booking and day of, I really couldn't have asked for more. I met Alex for the first time on my wedding day but felt like I had known her for years. She has such a calm presence and again, very professional. They did all the makeup for 8 of us quickly and efficiently. I assigned Alex to my girls who wanted a more glam look and Sam to the ones who wanted a more natural glow, including myself and our moms and it was perfect. Everyone looked beautiful and our faces lasted through hours of photos, dancing, and even the after-party. Their prices are very reasonable for their quality of products & work and can't say enough good things about them!
Don’t walk, RUN and book A&S artistry! They are absolutely amazing!!! Sam has done my makeup for multiple occasions now and both times she made me feel like the prettiest I’ve ever felt! I feel I also am very picky since I am in the makeup business myself ,but sam blew it out of the water both times she’s done my makeup! They are so professional, punctual and simply amazing!!! They listen and produce whatever look you want! The BEST!
Alex made my sister and I feel so beautiful for my wedding! It felt like hanging out with an old friend while she glammed us up for my big day. She listened to exactly what I had in mind and my makeup came out better than what I imagined! I also learned some tips on putting on false eyelashes, foundation, etc. as she was applying each. In addition to her artistry, Alex arrived on time and the makeup application was not overly time-consuming despite the fully glam look that was achieved. I have already recommended A&S artistry to a few brides-to-be. I highly recommend this team—your dream wedding makeup will definitely come true!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Sam and Alex are! I am not one to wear a ton of makeup regularly so going into my trial, I was not 100% sure what "look" I was going for. Sam instantly helped refine my thought process and photo inspiration to what she thought she would look best on me! She even confirmed each step of the process with me to make sure I loved each part as she was going along! I used my trial for my Bridal Shower and to say I received non-stop compliments about my make-up is an understatement! All my guests could not stop coming up to me to ask who did my make-up and commented how natural and beautiful it looked! Fast forward to my wedding day, we decided to "glam it up" a bit more and Sam KILLED IT!!! She even brought a new set of lashes that she thought I 'd like more and I didn't like them, I loved them!!! They made my small eyes pop and really helped seal the whole look!! Alex and Sam both did an unbelievable job with my bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law and really took their time to work with each person to get their style and make them a part of their makeup process! Sam and Alex are two of the sweetest people I have ever met! They are so professional and kind with their process and were amazing in dealing with our quite early schedule! I am hoping to have opportunities in the near future to need my makeup done because I know exactly who I am calling! I have never felt more confident in myself than I did on my wedding day! I also have to mention as a very emotional person, who legit balled my eyes out 5 minutes after Sam finished my touch-ups, my make up did not smudge the entire day! Pure magic! Thank you Sam and Alex for making me the most beautiful bride I could have ever been on my wedding day!!
Alex was so professional, down to earth, and helpful. I am not used to wearing makeup so I explained that to her and she was very receptive, made suggestions, listened and considered my concerns. Alex made me feel super comfortable. She made my friends and I feel like we knew her for years and did a great job on all of our different looks. We are so glad we found her. Definitely book her!!!
I was an out of town guest for a wedding looking to get makeup done with a few friends. I didn’t know much about the area, but I found Alex and Sam and instantly fell in love with their work. After scrolling their Instagram, I knew they were TRUE makeup artists. We booked Alex and from the moment we reached out, her kindness and professionalism made me know in an instant that everything would be perfect. Alex showed up early the morning of the wedding to set up. Her attention to detail was second to none. I don’t know much about makeup, but she took the time to explain the different looks and show me without judgement. She was not only knowledgeable in the art of applying makeup but in the products themselves. She uses the highest quality makeup. The whole time she was doing my makeup and my friends makeup, we talked, laughed, and we felt as if we’ve known her forever! The end result was beyond STUNNING. I cannot say enough about how beautiful we all looked and felt. We will most definitely be booking Alex and Sam again for future events! Nicole, Courtney, Gab
Alex is absolutely amazing and a true artist. My makeup comes out flawlessly each time she does it, and it lasts all night long which is incredible because I have very oily skin! She makes me feel like a dream every time she does it! She’s prompt, reliable, and clean! I’ve recommended her to everyone I can think of because she’s THAT good!
Both Sam and Alex are amazing!! I have gotten my makeup done a few times and literally have never been happy with it. Sam did my makeup for my wedding and she nailed everything I asked for. I can truly say this was the first time I got my makeup done and didn’t want to fix anything about it! Alex also did some of my bridesmaids and they all told me how much they loved it! I will never go to anyone else to do my makeup for anything ever again! Thank you both so much! You girls are truly incredibly talented!
Samantha and Alex are amazing! I’ve gotten my make up done several times, for weddings, parties and holidays, every time somehow gets better. They know what works for you, I’ve always gotten tones of compliments. They are professional, reliable, and very personable. I highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Alex and her team were the best! Super professional, quick (I had 11 bridesmaids, myself and mother), and their work was flawless. I never felt more beautiful and my bridal party could not stop raving about how great they felt too.
If you want perfection and stunning beauty, A & S Artistry is the only company to use!!! Sam and Alex are the most talented make up artists I have ever used! Every single time either has done my makeup, I am amazed at the flawless face I am left with!! Alex and Sam have done my full face for so many occasions, and never ever fail to make me look absolutely perfect whether it’s for a dinner out or glammed up for a wedding or event. They are punctual, extremely reliable and so much fun to work with!!! Definitely the best in the business! Do not hesitate to hire them for ANY occasion!!
Just wonderful! Through a crazy year and all the difficulties in getting married during the pandemic, Alex and Sam brought their kindness, skill and experience to my special day! They are the best make up artists around and if you want to feel and look special on your big day, hire them! I can’t stop thinking about what a great job they did for me and my bridesmaids.
Alex and Sam are an amazing team. Not only are they professional and reliable but their talent is unmatched. I think what I love best about them is their excellent customer service. They really listen to you and what your vision for your make up is, and they make that vision come alive. Alex has done my make up for several occasions and I am always so happy with the results! She is a true talent.
A & S Artistry did my make up as a bridesmaid. Samantha was so kind and so talented!! She made me feel very comfortable. Samantha is extremely knowledgeable and knowledgeable professional; my skin looked flawless! I got so many compliments and can’t imagine going anywhere else !
I feel very fortunate to have had Samantha do my make up for my nieces wedding. Samantha is the ultimate professional and super talented
Samantha did such an amazing job. I would highly recommend this duo for any event you have
You will be so happy!!!!
I had Sam and Alex doing my make up and my bridesmaids for my big day. They were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I was extremely nervous as any bride would be and both of them made Me at easy. I wanted a specific look and both delivered 10000x.‘I couldn’t give enough stars
To express how happy I was. I used them also in separated occasions and I wouldn’t let anyone do my make up besides them. 😊
It was such an amazing experience Samantha was professional, pleasant and so knowledgeable I didn’t know what to select or would look good she worked her magic and I felt and looked like a million dollars. My husband commented how perfect I looked and I owe it all to Samantha. Thank you so much for making my special day my dream come true.
I recently got married in November and had the pleasure of having Sam do my makeup and Alex do the makeup for my bridesmaids. To be honest, I always hate how I look in photos and was super stressed about wedding makeup, but Sam and Alex made me feel so comfortable and really listened to what I wanted for my big day. Sam performed a trial on me and I looked amazing! There were a few things I wanted adjusted and she really made it happen for my wedding day, I really never felt more beautiful in my life! I got so many compliments and my hard-to-please bridesmaids were so happy with how their makeup came out. Sam even touched up my makeup before I walked out to my ceremony to make sure I looked perfect. I would highly recommend A&S Artistry to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist, they were so professional, clean, and amazing at what they do!
I cannot recommend Alex & Sam enough. They are truly the sweetest, reliable, professional & most talented team in the biz! They exceeded the expectations not only for myself on my wedding day but my entire bridal party as well. They both truly make visions come to life. Alex made me feel beyond beautiful on my wedding day, I wish I had her to get me ready every day :). And as for my girls whether they had an inspo pic or a blank canvas to work on Alex & Sam created a look that were absolutely perfectly suited for each of my girls. Don’t walk but run to book these make-up ANGELS!!!!!
Sam has been a friend of mine for seventeen years and I have always turned to her to do my makeup for special occasions. She has done my makeup for friends weddings, bridal parties, and most recently my wedding and baby shower. Sam is always so professional, clean, and truly listens to what you want. She is so talented and always makes me feel beautiful! I highly recommend A&S Artistry for all of your makeup needs! You won’t be disappointed! 🤍
Absolutely love Alex and Sam! They did my wedding in May 2021 & I couldn’t have been happier! Everyone looked stunning. We loved them so much, my sister-in-law booked them for her wedding too. Alex and Sam are a great duo. I can’t wait to have another event so they can do my make-up again. Love them!
I hired Sam and Alex to do my makeup and my bridal party’s makeup for my 2018 wedding. They were so prepared and professional. Sam helped me come up with a schedule for my large bridal party to ensure we were ready for the day. I was blown away by the final products. My makeup stayed on all night and looked just as fabulous at the end of the night as it did at the beginning. I would recommended them to anyone looking!
Alex and Sam are as equally professional as they are talented. They make sure they understand what look you want and will do everything in their power to make you feel beautiful! I got SO many compliments on my makeup and most importantly I felt amazing. They are the best at what they do and super personable. You will not be disappointed by their hard work, I promise!
I’ve had the pleasure of having Alex and Sam do my makeup for over ten years. They truly are the BEST of the BEST. I recently got married and knew I had to use them and they sure did not disappoint! To even my own sister saying she liked her makeup better than her wedding day was a true testament in just how talented they are. They are extremely professional, clean, always execute the look you are going for, personable, on time, and just down to earth. A&S Artistry thank you for always making me feel and look beautiful!
