Working with Billie Jo was by far the easiest and best decision I made for my wedding day. All of us girls looked flawless! Even my mother in law who was worried that she wouldn’t “know how to do an old persons makeup” (My MILs words not mine). If you choose beauty by Billie Jo your makeup will be flawless and she’ll converse with you like you’ve been friends for years. I had some feedback and slight changes after my trial and she absolutely nailed it on my wedding day. She is so organized and efficient. I really could just go on and on with nothing but good things to say
Working with Billie Jo was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. After doing extensive research on makeup artists in the area, I ultimately decided to book with Billie Jo because I'd read and heard such amazing things - all of which were true. From the beginning, she was incredibly organized and communicative, always responding within a few hours with any questions I had. When I first met Billie Jo at my trial, I was comforted by her warmth and inviting personality; she instantly felt like a friend. We worked together to really bring my makeup vision to life, and she listened intently to any changes I wanted, never making me feel uncomfortable to speak up if I wanted to change something, which is something I sometimes struggle with. My favorite part about working with Billie Jo, however, was her ability to put my mind at ease leading up to the wedding and especially the day of. We had a very big wedding party and an early start for a 12:00 PM ceremony and the way the morning moved so effortlessly from start to finish was truly impressive. Everyone loved their makeup, and I loved getting ready with everyone; it was one of my favorite parts of the entire day. Knowing you are hiring someone on your wedding day that you can trust and who will put you first is truly so important and Billie Jo embodied that. It was such an easy decision to work with her and I'm so grateful she is who I chose. If you're weighing your options for makeup, you should work with Billie Jo - I promise you won't be disappointed!
I had the most amazing trial and wedding day makeup. I received so many compliments and my bridal party loved theirs as well. Not only is she great at her job but so fun to get ready with.
She is amazing! She is so kind and a genuine person. So easy to work with, fast communication & amazing at what she does.
Billie Jo was absolutely fantastic! She did the makeup for me (the bride) and my bridesmaids, and we couldn’t have been happier with her work. Everyone looked beautiful, and she really enhanced each person’s natural features in such a flattering way.
Her pricing was very reasonable for the quality of service we received, and she was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. Everyone was beyond satisfied with their look, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional makeup artist for their special day!
BillieJo is the mother, the best friend and perfectionist you want and need on your special day! The moment you book with BillieJo she sends you a detailed form that will give her everything you want and need from your makeup artist. It’s so detailed that you can’t forget anything! Which is so nice because wedding planning can be so overwhelming. The day of your wedding Billie will arrive and get to work, she will make friends with all of your friends and family. She fits right in to the celebration! Everything was so beyond perfect that you couldn’t feel anymore beautiful! I wish the day wasn’t so short just so I could have worked with Billie for longer!
Billie Jo was an absolute gem as our wedding makeup artist. She’s not only talented but also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She listened carefully to what I and my bridal party wanted and delivered flawlessly. My makeup stayed perfect from noon all the way until the end of the night at 2 AM. I couldn’t have been happier with how I looked. Billie Jo made me feel beautiful, and her warm, caring personality made the experience even more special. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist!
Loved Billie Jo! She was punctual, on top of things, made everything run smoothly and did a beautiful job on all of my girl's makeup, including mine! She was great to talk to and was fairly priced. Would recommend her to anyone for future events!
Billie Jo is AMAZING! She made me feel so beautiful on my big day. She is so kind and sweet and does such a wonderful job on any and all skin types. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, she takes great pride in her work but also knows how to keep the schedule moving for your big day. Do not hesitate to book with Billie Jo!
I was referred to Billie Jo by multiple friends who were her former clients. Her communication is second to none with details for all stages of the planning process and creating a day of timeline! Her professionalism and talent is second to none. I have had makeup done for many weddings in the past and nobody even compares to her. My mom and entire bridal party had nothing but great things to say about her as well! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
Billie Jo is top tier! She was absolutely amazing to work with all around for my wedding day. I had a complimentary makeup trial about 6 weeks prior to my wedding day. I requested some changes from the trial, and Billie Jo fulfilled all of my requests from my trial on my wedding day! My makeup looked absolutely flawless, and I got so many compliments on my makeup from my bridesmaids and my wedding guests. It stayed on all night too! Billie Jo also did makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, and grandma. They all had amazing things to say and were all very happy! My grandma was especially impressed as she requested false lashes but wanted a very natural look. Billie Jo delivered! She was also prompt to respond via email, easy to communicate with, and very professional. I would HIGHLY recommend her to do your makeup for your next big event!
Billie was AMAZING! After having a last minute makeup cancellation a little over a month out from my wedding, she stepped up and took on a 7 person bridal party. She put all my worries at ease during our trial. She was very personable and made everyone comfortable. She took the time to listen to all of our concerns and did a phenomenal job! I am so thankful my original artist canceled and I had the opportunity to have Billie as a part of the most important day. I am so thankful for her!
Billie Jo is amazing! She works with you until you get the exact look you are going for! She is flexible with her appointments!! I appreciated that she accommodated a second trial for me as the first one just needed a few tweaks to bc exactly what I wanted! She is who you want to hire for your wedding day to make everyone look fabulous! You’re the best! 😘
Billie Jo is amazing! She was everything I expected and more. Billie Jo made sure everything went smoothly and everyone’s makeup looked beautiful! She was timely, professional, and overall great to work with. Our experience was wonderful, and I highly recommend Billie Jo for any/all of your makeup needs!
Billie Jo did our makeup for my wedding and i absolutely loved my makeup. She asks all the right questions to get to know your preferences and style of makeup so she can make it perfect for the special day, which she definitely did so for my wedding day. My makeup was everything i was wanting and more. Since i don’t normally wear alot of makeup, she gave me a really natural but very beautiful look. I was so happy with the results. All of my bridesmaids also loved their makeup, and some who already got married said, they wished that they would have went with her! Billie Jo is so nice and fun to work with. I would highly recommend her :)
Billie Jo and Kassie were perfect for my big day! After leaving my trial with Billie Jo, I felt like I had known her forever! She made me feel so comfortable! Day of wedding she was flexible and able to come to our AirBNB of location. She was able to get myself and 10 other's makeup done and were not rushed. My makeup was perfect all day despite the tears and I felt so beautiful. Her communication was always so quick as well. I HIGHLY recommend!
Billie Jo is simply the best! I was very impressed with her knowledge, talent and communication! My wedding makeup turned out perfect, along with my bridesmaids, mom and mother in law, we were all so pleased and felt so beautiful! I would highly recommend her, she is a beauty expert and won’t let you down!
Billie Jo is worth every penny. She treated me kindly and hyped me up. She does makeup on all skin types and skin colors. All of my bridesmaids said she was the best makeup experience they ever had and I agree. I cannot recommend here enough!
Billie Jo was wonderful! She did my makeup for my engagement photos and the wedding day. All of my bridesmaids, myself, and my MIL loved our makeup and it lasted all the way through the party! She was truly a joy to work with.
Billie Jo was fantastic through the whole wedding process. She worked around my schedule to do a trial when I was in town and was open to feedback every step of the way. Her communication was unmatched by any of our other vendors and she even did a trial on my sister with sensitivity to certain makeups so she would have no issues day of. Wedding day Billie Jo crushed it, working through the bridal part and MOB/MOG all by herself. She was personable, professional and brought such good energy to our day and the photos are STUNNING. Never felt so beautiful.
Billie Jo made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day! I could not ask for a better makeup artist. Hands down the best! ❤️❤️
Billie Jo was everything I didn't know I needed on my wedding day! She will turn your Pinterest dream into an even better reality. Myself, the bridesmaids, and MOBs all did makeup with Billie Jo, and everyone looked so stunning. When she walked in and whipped out a case of Makeup by Mario, Charlotte Tilbury, Kosas, and Hourglass makeup... It was obvious she doesn't mess around with makeup. Throughout the wedding and reception, many people complimented our makeup (and how well it stayed until the last dance). As I look at pictures now, I still can't believe I actually looked that good.
Not only is Billie Jo's makeup an absolute dream, but working with her was smooth sailing from day one. She helped me plan my schedule for getting ready, coordinate the hair schedule, and arrange my trial around a busy schedule. She was so much fun when getting ready with everyone and genuinely cared about creating a great day from the start.
Can’t brag enough that I got to have THEE Billie Jo do my makeup for my wedding! I’m not a huge makeup wearer so the idea of having my makeup done for my wedding made me nervous. As soon as I met Billie Jo I knew I was in good hands. She really listened to what I wanted and freaking nailed it. The minute I saw myself after she was done I couldn’t help but to cry because I felt soo beautiful!!! Everything about my makeup look was so flawless and I had endless compliments all night all thanks to Billie Jo!!!
Billie Jo was amazing from start to finish. Her work is exceptional and her fun personality makes preparing for your big day relaxing and enjoyable. Her policies and procedures were clear and consistent throughout with no hidden fees or extras. I would highly recommend Billie Jo to anyone wanting their makeup done well for any occasion. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Billie Jo was the first vendor I secured after our wedding date was set. When my best friend was married she did the makeup for the whole wedding party - and did an amazing job! My makeup had never looked so nice and I had never felt more beautiful, so I knew I wanted to look and feel that way for my wedding day. The makeup trial was awesome, the schedule she created for the timeline etc., day of Billie Jo was prompt , friendly, easy to talk to...she's one of your vendors that you want to be your friend when it is all done! I am SO GLAD Billie Jo was available for our date!
As a hair stylist, I always recommend Billie Jo to all my brides. I've done quite a few bridal parties who booked her as their makeup artist, and she is a real pro. She's friendly, easy-going, professional, prompt and very helpful.
After years of seeing her amazing work, I was finally able to experience it firsthand. I was MOH in my bestie's wedding over the weekend, and Billie Jo knocked it out of the park! I asked for heavy, glam and she DELIVERED! Everyone was complimenting our makeup all day, and loooooong into the night it was still flawless.
If you are looking for wedding or any kind of special occasion makeup, Billie Jo is the absolute BEST! She was the makeup artist extraordinaire for my wedding last month - she did the makeup for myself, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my 4 bridesmaids... and let me tell you, everyone LOVED their makeup! I asked for a lighter makeup look since I typically don't wear a lot of makeup, and Billie Jo achieved this look perfectly. All of our makeup lasted all night, through happy tears and lots of dancing! Also, Billie Jo is an amazing person and so fun to work with. Thank you!!!
Billie Jo was incredible. My make up looked glam but natural and I received so many compliments. The bridal party looked amazing and everyone was so happy! I truly felt my best and Billie Jo was so caring and made sure that I felt that way too! I would highly recommend to anyone!
Billie is absolutely AMAZING! From trial to wedding day she made me and all the girls so comfortable. On my wedding day she could feel how anxious I was and even calmed me down! Our make up so stunning and flawless. It lasted all night even after a pretty hot day. My sisters who had airbrush done before and didn’t like it were so impressed with Billie’s airbrush. She really does such a good job. I cannot say enough good things. Highly highly recommend. Thank you you Billie!
Billie Jo was absolutely amazing and so professional!! She did mine and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding day and we all looked so so good! I got married in July so it was definitely hot all day and our makeup lasted from morning to night! She even gave us little bags with everything we needed if we needed to touch up! Truly recommend her! She is amazing at what she does!!
Billie Jo was A DREAM to work with for my wedding day! She was professional, efficient, warm and kind-hearted, and loved chatting with me & each member of my bridal party as we got our makeup done. The whole process was seamless! Our make-up looked STUNNING, natural, and effortless, exactly as I had imagined it would be. I would recommend her to any bride wishing to look fabulous on her special day!
The morning of your wedding is quite memorable. As a bride, I was surrounded by my best friends, my mother, and mother in law. What most people don't realize is how much your vendors impact your morning of your wedding day. Billie Jo was an absolute hype woman. Whenever someone sat in her chair, she became such a dear friend and support system. I had changed my look from my trial just a bit, and she was so open to change! She wants you to voice your opinion because Billie Jo is a perfectionist. She only wants what is best for you and to make you feel absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Billie Jo enough. As someone who only puts on (at most) mascara for any other day, Billie Jo made me feel still so natural and completely ME. I have never felt so much like a bride. Billie Jo truly cares for each and every person she serves. When you book your vendors, you want someone who cares so deeply, and Billie Jo is anything but a surface level person. She is everything you want in a wedding vendor. Working with her and her being a part of my morning for my wedding truly started the day perfectly.
Hiring Billie Jo and her assistant for our wedding was one of the absolute best decisions I made! Billie Jo was very organized and kept us all on track the day of the wedding! She was complimented by everyone in the suite for her professionalism and efficiency! I had a very large bridal party not only were we ahead of schedule on makeup but every single girl LOVED their makeup! I have suggested Billie Jo and her team to multiple brides since my wedding! Billie Jo thank you so much for making me feel like my absolute best self on my special day 🤍
I used Billie Jo makeup for my wedding and bridal services and could not have been more pleased with her results! She is professional, experienced and talented! She provided an amazing recommendation to try some skin prep with Angie Scott which ultimately changed my skincare for the better! I received so many compliments on my makeup and all of my bridesmaids and moms were very happy with her services! My makeup lasted beautifully throughout a very long and hot July wedding day! She made sure we stayed on schedule and we enjoyed spending the morning getting ready with her! :) I would highly recommend Billie Jo to any other bride!!
Billie Jo did an amazing job with my makeup and my bridesmaids’ makeup! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! My makeup stayed all day, even being that our wedding day was in the middle of the summer. She kept to an efficient timeline without making us feel rushed and really paid attention to the details. She was very professional and worked well with my hair stylist. I would highly recommend Billie Jo to anyone!
When I got engaged and started booking vendors, I knew exactly who I wanted for my make-up and literally reached out to book the day we picked our date. Billie Jo is hands down THE best make-up artist you can hire on your wedding day! She is not only an absolute wonderful human but she is also so talented, efficient, and professional. Everyone’s make-up looked amazing and stayed during a very hot 90 degree day. I’m a sweat monster if it gets over 75 and my makeup was flawless throughout the entire day. Even my sister, who is notoriously particularly, raved about Billie Jo. On a day when you want to look and feel your best, Billie Jo has you covered!
I honestly don’t have enough words to express just how amazing Billie is! She truly went above and beyond, even leading up to my wedding with planning and especially on the morning of. She brought such a positive energy and made the whole getting ready process so much fun. My entire family and bridal party loved her and we were all obsessed with our makeup. Billie really listens to you and helps customize a look that is specific for each person and compliments your individual features. She is truly an artist and has a passion for what she does. It’s very hard to find someone who has not only an amazing and loving personality and also provides the best quality work, but Billie truly does offer both!
Billie-Jo is AMAZING! She is so kind and lively and does amazing work on top of it. We are so thankful we were able to work with her for my wedding on 5/7/22. Everyone in my bridal party (+ mom/mother in law) is already beautiful, but she made each and every one of them look stunning in their own way! Everyone's makeup was individualized to fit their own style and features and we were all so happy to have her. She is the best!
We had the greatest experience working with Billie Jo!
At first when considering air-brush makeup and false eyelashes, we were skeptical, because the bride doesn't usually wear much, if any, makeup. I highly recommend doing a makeup trial. The trial was a success, because although the bride though she wanted a natural look, she came home from the trial wanting more. Come to find out she didn't want the natural look at all, but just didn't want go over the top, and still wanted to look like herself. Billie Jo suggested she find photos of what she wanted. The color palette and style she ended up with was gorgeous and glamourous. Billie Jo did all seven bridesmaids and myself, the mother of the bride. Each girl looked stunning and unique. And for myself, a woman in her 60s, I was told I looked at least 10 years younger. Who doesn't want that? It was my first time having someone do air-brush and eyelashes. I wasn't overdone, the makeup held all day, and no black circles from happy tears. Thank you Billie Jo, for making our day so much more beautiful. I highly recommend Billie Jo. She really got it right! And she is a sweetheart as well, we really enjoyed working with her. You will love her!
Billie Jo was extremely professional, friendly, and punctual. She did nine peoples make up & everyone, including myself, loved our makeup and the kit she provided upon completing our makeup. It lasted throughout the night & I would use her again without question!!!
Billie was wonderful to work with! She was professional, kind and made me look beautiful on my wedding day. You’re in good hands if your hire Billie for you big day or any other event!
So glad I was able to find Billie for my wedding make up! She is so personable and so easy to work with. She gave us a time line and stuck with it, ensuring we were where we needed to be on time. Everyone looked flawless and our make up lasted all day. I would recommend her to anyone
Billie Jo was the absolute best decision I made on my wedding day! She is the sweetest person in the world and does a better than amazing job at makeup. She is so knowledgeable about skin care and makeup (that stays all ay long)and makes you look perfect for your big day! Not only that but she truly gets to know you and your bridesmaids.. more of a friend than a vendor for your wedding! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make sure you are perfect for your special day.. one thing you won't have to stress about is how beautiful your make up will be and will last all night long.
Amazing!
Billie Jo was awesome!! She made me feel comfortable right from the start and on the wedding day she did the same for the girls, and fit right in with us!! I would recommend her to anyone, and would definitely use her in the future!!
Billie Jo is such a sweet person in general and an absolutely amazing makeup artist!! Every time I contacted her she was quick to respond and was enjoyable to work with. She was so easy to talk to every time I got my makeup done. She did my makeup for our engagement pictures, a trial for the wedding, and our wedding. Every time I was blown away by how she was able to give me the exact look I was looking for, natural with just a little more glam. All of my bridesmaids and the mothers loved their makeup the day of! Run don’t walk when booking her because she is the best makeup artist I’ve ever seen! Plus, she gives you cute little gift bags to freshen up during the night. I loved every second working with Billie Jo and don’t regret a thing!
In all honesty, working with Billie Jo was one of the highlights of an already unforgettable wedding day. She is so sweet and fun to work with and all my bridesmaids and my mom were raving about how much they loved chatting with Billie Jo and getting their makeup done. My bridesmaids were even asking if she would travel out of state for their upcoming weddings because they loved her and her work so much! It was truly so special to see all the most important women in my life feeling like their most confident beautiful selves. I cannot thank Billie Jo enough for that!
As someone who rarely wears a full face of makeup, Billie Jo did a beautiful job while letting me still look and feel like myself (only way way better obviously!!). She also helped all my bridesmaids achieve the look they wanted too while also making everyone in the group look cohesive. She even gave us the cutest little makeup kits with extra lipstick, mints, mirror, etc. She made the whole process so fun and stress free!
Seriously, do not hesitate to reach out to Billie Jo, it will be one of your best decisions for your wedding day!!
Billie Jo is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
She is so unbelievably talented, kind and so professional. she listened to every want/need I had and then worked her magic! she made me feel so beautiful for my engagement pictures and wedding day.
My makeup lasted through my entire day, happy tears, & sweat from dancing along with all of my bridesmaids.
110% recommend booking your wedding makeup with her!
Billie Jo was AMAZING! She is more than willing to work with you to create a look perfect for YOU. Be honest with her and she will make your dreams come true! Billie Jo is so down to earth and genuinely cares about you! For instance, when COVID hit and forced us to adjust our plans, Billie was right there by my side to reschedule and she ALWAYS asked how I was doing-that is so important in a Vendor! Billie Jo is kind, professional, and skilled. Do not walk, RUN, to book with her!
RUN DON'T WALK! If you are a bride that is wanting to look the most beautiful on your big day, choose Billie Jo! Not only is she extremely kind, professional, and talented, but she listens to your wants and needs. I was a bride who does not wear a lot of make up in general, but she knew exactly what I wanted and I couldn't have been more happy. All my bridesmaids and mothers looked so beautiful, even on our very hot wedding day our make up lasted and it showed through all the photos! She is SO amazing at what she does, truly a master and she LOVES it. She will make your day so much fun. She makes you look like the elevated you any bride should! I am so thankful for Billie Jo being a huge part of my wedding day, thank you so so much!!!
Billie Jo is absolutely incredible. She is talented, professional, skilled, and so so down to earth! My makeup for the wedding stayed gorgeous through photos, happy tears, eating yummy dinner, drinking some cocktails, and sweat from dancing the night away. 100% recommend!
Billie Jo fully listened to what I wanted to look like and also in our trail appointment she made sure every shade and every color matched up perfectly ❤️!!
Billy Jo is amazing! She was flexible when it came to meeting and she has professional equipment, I was amazed at her setup. She made my wife and I shine for our wedding with the makeup. I highly recommend her!
Billie Jo is an AMAZING makeup artist. She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable on my wedding day. My bridesmaids looked incredible as well and our makeup lasted all night! All around, Billie, is a very talented and personable individual!
Billie Jo is not only incredibly talented and great at what she does, but is also a great person and a complete joy to be around! She did my whole bridal party, both mothers, and my makeup for my wedding day. She was accommodating, really fun, and made the day just that much better. On top of that, everyone's makeup looked fantastic upon application, lasted through 90 plus degree heat, and a full night of running around dancing. I highly recommend Billie Jo to anyone needing makeup services for any event- you wont regret it!
Billie Jo was amazing and personable! Not only did all of our makeup look great but we had fun doing it. She truly makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. My makeup matched my skin tone perfectly and lasted all night. I would recommend her to every bride.
Billie Jo is extremely talented at what she does. It's apparent she loves what she does and is constantly educating herself to stay on top of everything in the beauty world. I've worked with her on numerous occasions and it is always a pleasure. Her work photographs beautifully on wedding days. Finding a makeup artist as talented and professional as Billie Jo is hard to find! The thing I love most about Billie Jo is her personality. She is so fun to be around and truly makes you feel like you've known her your entire life. It's so crucial to have a glam squad that can start your day off with a smile (and some BOMB makeup). I highly recommend booking her for your big day. You will NOT regret it!!!
Billie Jo is an absolute ROCKSTAR. She is the sweetest person and so so amazing at what she does!! My entire bridal party was so impressed and thrilled with their make up the day of the wedding and so was I. It looked better than I could've imagined. I completely changed my look from the trial I had with her and it still looked perfect. It stayed all day and didn't move once. She helped me stay so calm while we were getting ready and she could tell the second I started freaking out. She gave me so many tips throughout our time working together for my skin and skincare recs. She even gave me a sample from her personal stash that I was so thankful for. I'm already trying to think of more reasons to book an appointment with Billie Jo!
Billie Jo was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with!! She was so helpful and very sweet. Feels odd to say but she was dealing with something very personal around my wedding and still she was so incredibly professional and did everything she could to make our day perfect! We were dancing and sweating up a storm and my, my bridesmaids, and our mom's makeup still looked incredible at the end of the night! Would go back to her in a heartbeat 🤗😍
Billie Jo was beyond amazing! Me and all my girls loved our makeup and everything looked so natural. I cannot begin to thank her enough, I HIGHLY recommend using Beauty By Billie Jo
