Abby Prather

e was, but was really floored by how much she cared about each person, including making sure everyone was happy. She was kind, attentive, and was professional without being standoff-ish. I’ve followed Abby on social media for some time and am amazed at the work she does. She is someone with genuine talent. If you need a make-up artist, reach out to Abby now because I know she books up quickly; you can thank me later ;)

Abby herself! Not only is she incredibly talented and efficient, but all of my clients immediately fall in love with her and honestly rave about how genuine of a person she is (most are actually now friends with her too!) I hire Abby over and over because she is professional, courteous, prompt, responsive, flexible, and truly amazing at what she does! I only wish I had met Abby before I had gotten married myself! Highly, highly recommend hiring Abby for any of your makeup needs.

s prom and HS graduation pictures. I’ve recommended her to more people than I can count and every one who has “been in her chair” has been stunned at how amazing they look and how wonderful the experience has been. She’s on the books for my best friend’s son’s wedding already next year. If you want a true professional who will make dolling you up for your event a dream, Abby is your gal.

l beautiful. I was so excited to work with her on the wedding day. However, on the wedding day it was apparent that Abby was in a rush, I was under the impression based off previous conversations that Abby had no other obligations that day and was only worried about getting everyone done with makeup by 2:00 pm so we had time for photos beforehand. However, I heard from one of my bridesmaids that Abby told them she had another event to get to later that day. I can only guess this is why she appeared to be in a rush with everyone’s makeup application. Abby started doing makeup at 9am and by 12 she was rushing out the door after doing 6 full makeup airbrush applications in about 3 hrs. The rushing was reflected in many ways throughout the day, eyelashes were lifting from everyone’s eyelashes within 30 mins of Abby leaving. My photographer had to leave to get some eyelash glue since none of us had thought to bring any with us. Makeup was creasing under eyes and in smile lines immediately after application. When my MOH mentioned this to Abby, she replied something along the lines of “well not much can be done about that. You can get Botox and fillers to help with smile lines”. I was not aware of this conversation until after the fact or it would have been immediately addressed. I was not able to see my makeup application until it was done and when I looked it the mirror it looked nothing ( aside from my lip color) like my makeup trial. At this point there wasn’t any time to try and change it. My eye color and eyeliner color were both completely different. My ceremony start time was 4pm and my makeup and my bridal party’s makeup didn’t hold up hardly into after the ceremony. I think the most disappointing thing of all was the fact that I reached out to Abby a couple days after the wedding because I was really upset over the astronomical differences in makeup application and overall interactions with her from my makeup trail VS my wedding day and to let her know of my concerns and she never even bothered to respond to me. At all. I found this not only insulting but extremely unprofessional.
