Amber was amazing and so efficient for my wedding. She brought an additional person and was able to get through my bridesmaids and myself so quickly. Each girl had their makeup don...
e so well and so individualized. I had so many compliments of how amazing I looked and I know that is in large part due to Amber and her amazing skills. Amber stuck around until we were ready to leave to make any last minute changes that we needed prior to us leaving for the venue. Amber is an amazing person and has such a talent for what she does!
Amber is a QUEEN! She made me feel incredible all morning long. Even when we had slight timing issues she pushed through and finished all of my girls. My makeup even held into the ...
next morning! Definitely hire her for your wedding!
Stop what you're doing and hire Amber right now!!! I have never felt so beautiful in my life as I did on my wedding day. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day and through lots ...
of tears. Amber worked so hard to make me and my bridesmaids feel gorgeous, even while she was recovering from a back injury. If I ever need special occasion makeup done again, I know who I'm going to!!
From the moment I had my trial session with Amber, I knew I chose the right person for my big day! Amber is so sweet and personable. I felt so comfortable working with her the day ...
of my wedding. She did a wonderful job on my family and friend’s makeup as well! She always makes sure you like what you see and is open to any ideas. My makeup looked just as good at the end of the night as it did at the beginning of the day. If you’re looking for someone to help you on your special day, look no further than Amber!
I’ve worked with Amber for one of my weddings this year and her work is amazing! Her makeup not only photographed beautifully but also looked flawless in person as well. I highly r...
ecommend her to all of my brides!
Amber did the make-up for a couple of my friends' weddings, and after seeing how gorgeous they were, I sought her out to do my own wedding as well. She made my entire wedding party...
look like supermodels. Not only that, but through all the sweat and tears the day of my wedding, my makeup remained flawless. I don't know what magic she uses but it works. She even came to my house to do the makeup the morning of the wedding. She's also just super sweet, fun and professional. Overall, I would highly recommend her!
Amber was amazing on my wedding day! She helped myself and all of the bridesmaids feel comfortable. Her makeup that she applied lasted all day and looked stunning!
Amber was always just a quick text or email away. I loved how no question was off limits in my planning process! She even helped me with day of scheduling for my wedding, making su...
re I had my timelines on point with all my bridesmaids and moms for hair and makeup. She came to my wedding venue which was over an hour drive for her - I can’t thank her enough!! Each of us felt absolutely beautiful and at our best, and our confidence was shining through in our photos. I am 100% confident you are making the BEST decision hiring Amber for your big day! I even used her for my boudoir and engagement photos and couldn’t be happier with how I looked and felt in those photos. Thank you SO much Amber! ♥️
Ah there aren't enough words to describe how amazing Amber is. She is not only an amazing makeup artist, she is a vibrant person who makes you feel so comfortable and confident on ...
your special day. I could rave forever about her! Amber also did my makeup for another wedding I was a bridesmaid in and it was even just as amazing. Her consistency is something you don't find often. I feel so lucky to have had her as my makeup artist. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Amber did my bridal party and my makeup for my wedding, along with Michelle and Lisa doing everyone's hair. I absolutely loved my makeup and everyone looked so good. Most of us are...
not big makeup wearers, so we kept things pretty natural. Amber was great at elevating my natural look to a beautiful wedding look, while still looking like myself. With all the stress of the wedding day, it was so nice to have the beauty team come to our hotel and they stayed ahead of the schedule so everyone was ready to go for pictures. Amber was great and so easy to work with.
I’m so glad I chose Amber (and Michelle) for my wedding day! I’m actually a wedding photographer so I’ve worked with quite a few make up artists. When it came time to choosing some...
one for my wedding, I thought back on who I’d worked with and just loved their work. That was Amber! Throughout the entire process, Amber was so sweet, and she was also great about getting back to me. She listened to what everyone wanted, and my bridesmaids and I LOVED what she did! We all got so many compliments throughout the evening! I’ve already recommended Amber to friends and clients, and I’ll keep recommending her! Not only is she great at what she does, but she is so wonderful to work with! I absolutely could not have been happier!
I had such a good experience with Amber and LOVED my make up on my big day. She was very responsive and so organized! My hair dresser backed out a few months before and Amber reach...
ed out to one of her partners and helped me set up a hair trial with her, she was also amazing and ended up doing my hair! The airbrush lasted all day and I did not need any touch ups. She made me feel so pretty on my wedding day and 100% recommend her!
I CANNOT say enough wonderful things about Amber. From my makeup trial for my wedding, to my boudoir photo makeup, facials, lash lifting, to my wedding makeup... I can’t stay away ...
from her!! If I could visit her weekly I would because her perfection to make you feel beautiful is something EVERY woman should feel. Amber thank you for always making myself ( and Keith) feel amazing. You are truly an artist and a master at what you do!
LOVED working with Amber and her team!! She's a rockstar person and both made my squad look stunning AND brought a calming presence to a very busy day! 10/10 would absolutely reco...

Lack of professionalism and unreliable. My sister (the bride) liked the makeup Amber did for her engagement photos so she signed a contract for bridal makeup for her June 2020 wedd...
ing. Out of the blue, Amber emailed my sister to tell her their contract was no longer valid and that if my sister wanted to sign a new contract to keep her services, she would need to add an additional 5 makeup applications (6-person minimum). After my sister expressed that she was unhappy with how this was handled, Amber said that she would honor the original contract but she would only be available to do her makeup at 7:00am (what?!) on the day of the wedding, since she would be booking a bridal party after. It is hard not to feel like Amber already found a more lucrative party for the same date and wanted to get rid of her obligation to my sister. Further, while she did provide recommendations to other makeup artists, Amber offered no apology for the inconvenience of reneging on her original contract.
Amber is absolutely AMAZING! I can not express enough how thankful I am that I found her. After a bad experience with another makeup artist, I booked a trial with Amber and I imm...
ediately knew she was going to be perfect! On the day of my wedding she did the makeup for my mom and I and it was better than I ever could have imagined! She made us both look and feel beautiful and was so nice and relaxed, she made getting ready a blast!
Amber is by far the sweetest and most talented makeup artist you could ever work with. I first met Amber during my best friend’s wedding. I knew right after meeting her that I want...
ed her to be part of my wedding day, too. From the very beginning, Amber was attentive, responsive, punctual, and kind. She definitely is a natural at what she does, and her passion and love for making other people look and feel great shines within her! You are in the best hands with Amber Preston!
Amber did an amazing job on my make up for my wedding! She made me look exactly how I wanted, natural and glamorous. The makeup looked absolutely fabulous in all of the wedding pic...
tures too! I would highly recommend Amber!
Simply, THE BEST!!!! Amber is THE BEST Make-up Artist in Town, hands down!!! She is a TRUE ARTIST and seriously made me feel like the most gorgeous woman on the most important day ...
of my life. She has the amazing talent of being able to look at someone and know exactly what type of "look" would be best. I gave her little direction because I wasn't sure exactly what "look" I was going for, and she absolutely NAILED IT!! I felt like I could be on the cover of a magazine, but didn't feel weighed down with the make-up she used and actually still felt like my natural self!! She was completely available for me from the bridal showers, to the rehearsal dinner, to the big day and even every big event I have had since the wedding day...she makes me look beautiful and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do me up! She was able to capture every unique look of each of my bridesmaids, moms, and flower girl as well, and they absolutely loved working with her and her team. She was completely professional from day one and turned out to be a HUGE calming presence of the day of the wedding as she had us taken care of, no problem at all! What's best about all this is that I have not only gained a super talented makeup artist for life, but I have gained one of the sweetest and most compassionate and thoughtful friends for life! THANK You THANK You THANK you Amber for everything that you are to me!!
Amber is amazing! She is truly talented and very professional. I came to her clueless and without a hairstylist and she recommended Michelle and they both knocked it out of the par...
k. I couldn’t of had a better experience on the most special day of my life! Amber and Michelle came to my venue (out in the middle of nowhere) they where even early! Amber uses the top brands of makeup and everything is clean and neat. Michelle did 12 heads of hair beautifully and on a very tight schedule! Look no further for a makeup artist and stylist these girls are truly amazing!! They are professional, talented and great at what they do!! They will put you at ease and you will look beautiful on your day and in your pictures!!
Amber is an incredibly talented makeup artist! She and her assistant enhanced the natural beauty of myself and my entire wedding party! We were photo ready for the entire day. My m...
akeup was still flawless 12 hours later! If you are looking for the best of the best for your makeup trust Amber and her team! You will not be disappointed!
Amber did an AMAZING job with makeup for my wedding. My mom and sisters haven't stopped talking about how much they loved their makeup. I made a few changes to how I wanted my look...
to be after the trial, and Amber executed it flawlessly on the big day. My husband said he was blown away! I also used Michelle, Amber's business partner, for hair and she is incredibly talented! I still can't believe how beautiful all the hairstyles were! They looked modern and classy, exactly what I was looking for!
Absolutely LOVED Amber and Michelle; they make an amazing team. Not only do they make sure you get the perfect look you've been dreaming of - but they're also super understanding a...
nd patient when it comes to unforeseen delays (which happen during weddings all too frequently). They're both super talented and I can't wait to have them do my makeup/hair for another event in the future!
Amber did my makeup for my bridal shower as well as my big day for myself and the bridal party! She is so talented and the makeup lasted all day through the tears and sweat of a su...
mmer wedding! Not only did she do flawless makeup, but she also helped to prepare my skin for the big day with facials, helping with stressful breakouts, and trying out new products! Highly, highly recommend!
Amber did an absolutely incredible job on our wedding day!!! Our makeup looked so natural and enhanced each person’s facial features and skin tone perfectly, it was all around amaz...
ing!! She was very attentive to what each of us wanted for our makeup and was accomodating to our requests. She is so sweet and such a pleasure to work with, and she is so soo talented. I give my highest reccommendation!
Amber did an amazing job for my wedding and was very flexible. She did makeup for my 3 bridesmaids and myself, starting at 7:45 in the morning. At 11pm at the end of the reception,...
everyone's makeup still looked fresh. I was also worried originally about having makeup that was too heavy for my tastes. I told Amber about my concerns up-front at the trial and gave her my feedback after the trial. She did a fantastic job of listening and responding to my requests. My makeup the day of my wedding was exactly what I hoped it would be, enough to make the photos pop, but not too much that I felt like I looked like someone else.
Amber did an amazing job! I LOVED my makeup and it was perfect through the entire night. I have oily skin and it didn't look shiny in any of my wedding pictures, which never happen...
s for me! I was beyond thankful. All of my bridesmaids looked amazing as well. I would highly recommend Amber!
from the very beginning of wedding booking, Amber has made me look more and more amazing. She is truly so professional, easy to keep in touch with and seriously the most talented m...
ake up artist. Consistently she did my eyebrows, dermaplanjng, lash boost and Brazilian wax (honeymoon). Every girl got their make up done and they all loved it and looked stunning. She even sticked around after first look to do touch ups. She only books your event that day and she is so much fun and easy to work with. She is one seriously amazing woman and truly loves her job. My make up was STUNNING! So many compliments and I felt so confidnent. I cried a lot and it all stayed. Lashes are included and prior to wedding, you have an expert in skin care. By end of the wedding, she was more like my friend than my make up artist. I seriously love that girl and cannot believe how unbelievably talented she is.
Amber and Michelle did an amazing job for my wedding! They were on time and got everyone done in a timely manner. All the girls loved their make-up and hair. Wonderful experienc...

Thanks you guys for being so accommodating and doing end moment changes and doing makeup for my family as well.
Thank you for making this special moment so beautiful.

ened to what I was wanting and combined that with her knowledge and skillset. Michelle did all of my bridesmaids hair and not only were they happy, but their hair looked fabulous all day long. These two make a great team!
Amber was absolutely amazing! She came highly recommended from my friends and now I know why. She did a great job starting with my trial makeup and was super accommodating when I w...
anted to change it last minute. She showed up on time on my wedding day and my entire bridal party and my mother and mother in law looked amazing! I was so happy with my look on my wedding day and I will definitely use Amber again for any makeup needs!
Amber (makeup) and Michelle (hair) are a wonderful team! From the first time I met them for my hair and makeup trial, I knew I was in good hands. My trial went better than I coul...
d have imagined, and I was shocked at how good they not only made me look but also feel. On our wedding day they recreated my trial look which turned out beautifully. They also took care of my mom and bridal party. They are quick and efficient, but still make you feel that you are their most important client. I highly recommend them to any bride wanting to look (and feel) their best on their wedding day. You certainly won't be disappointed.
Amber is absolutely amazing!! She did my makeup for me and my bridesmaids in Puerto Rico and it was stunning!! Not only did I look flawless (thanks to her!) through many tears of j...
oy, my makeup was still perfect after I got in the water... yes, all they way under water! She delt with my crazy and I was so lucky to have such an amazing woman come all the wayto Puerto Rico with me for my special day! I am eternally greatful that my pictures will always look perfect thanks to her amazing work! I refer all of my friends and fellow nurses to her!!
I was so happy with my make up on my wedding day as we’re all of my bridesmaids! Having amber there on the day of the wedding doing our make up felt like having another friend ther...
e hanging out with all of us. She made me feel so beautiful and I would absolutely recommend her to do the same for you!
Amber is incredible. I was originally not planning to have my make-up done for my big day in order to cut costs. Let me tell you this was hands down the best money spent towards my...
wedding and would do it again in a heartbeat. My mom bought me the make-up trial as a birthday gift. I was blown away! I've never felt so beautiful and I didn't feel too "made-up.". I also have sensitive skin so I wasn't sure I'd like wearing a ton of make-up. I convinced my mom and bridesmaids to get their make-up done on my wedding day and while some were hesitant, everyone raved and was happy they made the decision afterwards. Amber is flexible and fun and makes you feel super comfortable. Spring the extra money for the pro make-up and love your photos forever!!
Amber (and her hair partner Michelle) did an excellent job on my bridal makeup, my bridesmaids' makeup, and my mom's and mother-in-law's makeup for our 10/07/17 wedding.
She went ...
out of her way to make sure I was happy with my makeup in the trial beforehand. She has a great library of makeup and tools and provides air-brush makeup for everyone, at no extra cost. The day-of she was communicative and professional and got us ready in time.
I'm really glad we hired her.
So grateful that Amber and Michelle were a part of my wedding day! Amber did makeup for myself, my mom, and my mother in law. Michelle did hairstyles for myself, 4 bridesmaids, the...
mothers, and one flower girl. They both made everyone feel and look beautiful, and I was especially happy with how the makeup turned out for our moms...neither of them wear makeup normally, but they loved how natural looking the makeup turned out! Everyone's hair held all night (even the flower girl's up-do stayed, which is a miracle, bc she played outside and danced all night!) They are both very laid back and fun to work with, which really takes the pressure off when anxieties are already running high! I got so many compliments on how amazing I looked, and I am normally not a confident person, but I will tell you that I felt like I could have been in a bridal magazine! I just love Amber and Michelle for making everyone feel perfect for our perfect day :)
Amber is amazing. I found her through a recommendation from another makeup artist, and I'm SO thrilled that she was available for our wedding. I don't wear a lot of makeup normally...
, so my biggest concern was looking like myself (but a little more photogenic) on my wedding day. Amber 100% made that happen--at our trial, she listened to everything I was saying. At the end of the trial, she took extensive notes on what she'd done, noted anything that I wanted changed (which were really minor things, like a slightly different lip shade and shorter false eyelashes--she really had a great sense of what I wanted!) My makeup the day of was perfect. Amber also did makeup for all my bridesmaids, my mother in law, and my stepmother, and everyone loved the way they looked all day. I can't recommend Amber enough!!
AMAZING! The original make-up artist I booked a trial with ended up not being available for my weddings but lined up Amber and it was a match made in heaven! Her work was flawless ...
and lasted all night! I think the best thing about working with Amber is that no egos were involved. Her confidence in her work gave me confidence to be honest and not worry about hurting anyone feelings if there was some thing I didn't like (my whole bridal party and the Moms agreed)! We all wished she could have hung out the rest of the day! If you book Amber you will be disappointed and will look gorgeous!
Hands down amazing woman and artist. She pours her heart into her work and helps make your make-up dreams come true. Couldn't have asked for anyone better. Xoxo
Amber is INCREDIBLE! She made sure she knew the exact look I was going for, and gave me that but so much better! I loved the trial and felt so relieved that on my wedding day I was...
going to feel that beautiful again. She is fun, outgoing, professional, and a true artist. I can't recommend her enough!!!
Amber and Michelle are a dynamic duo if ever I met one! They do an incredible job taking your vision (no matter how jumbled it may be) and translating into everything you could hav...
e ever imagined. They can work through a large bridal party seamlessly and make each girl feel special and beautiful. Everyone raved about how beautiful my entire group looked and my groom was blown away. They kept us laughing and having a great time. I would recommend this vendor to anyone and would use them again myself if a special occasion presented itself. Gorgeous work from amazing women!
I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed working with Amber. When planning a destination elopement, I wasn't sure what luck I'd have finding a a hair stylist or makeup artist in...
the area. After researching options (and reading several other positive reviews) I sent my initial inquiry and kept my fingers crossed. Amber not only responded quickly but she was available, reasonably priced, AND enthusiastic. At the trial she did my hair and makeup EXACTLY like I had envisioned and we had discussed. The day of the wedding, she did exactly what we'd done at the trial but even better (which I didn't think was possible). I felt truly beautiful and with my hair and makeup staying exactly in place for the entire day and night, I didn't have to re-touch a thing. I'd highly recommend choosing Amber, not only for her professionalism and quality of work, but for her relaxed and fun personality that made a memorable day that much more special!
Amber is one of the most talented makeup artists! She did amazing makeup for my bridal party and I and was wonderful to work with! she was very patient with my 5 year old flower gi...

ble and I'm so glad she was! I loved my makeup trial so much that I had Amber do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner as well. I got so many compliments on my makeup on my wedding day! One of my bridesmaids loved her so much that she is using her for her wedding day too. I just can't say enough nice things about Amber! Thank you for making me look like a princess on my special day!
