What stood out most was how she made you feel—confident, relaxed, and truly beautiful. She took her time to get everything just right and never made us feel rushed, which made such a difference on a day that can feel so busy.
Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout, and the final result held up beautifully all day and night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about making you feel your best.

“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!

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!

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!

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.

ication 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.

I am SO GLAD Billie Jo was available for our date!

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 ...

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!!!

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 vendo...
rs 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 🤍

zing 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!!

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 m...
uch, 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!
