I could not have chosen a better hair/makeup team in a million years! Joy is truly an artist and is so great at what she does. I have had my hair and makeup professionally done many times and have never been happy with the final product but tha...
t was not the case with Joy and her team. My day-of hair and makeup looked IDENTICAL to my trial. Joy and her team remained on schedule and made sure to stick around for last minute touch ups. Everyone was so happy with their final look!
Beauty by Joy was absolutely amazing! She provides many options of all different makeup artists to hire but I had to have Joy! Who was an absolute joy! Haha Sorry Joy I had to! She wants to make sure you look exactly how you want and is so grea...
t at making you feel comfortable enough to communicate that!
From doing my test trial to the day of everything was PERFECT! My makeup stayed absolutely perfect the whole day! She even gives you a little pot of lipstick to touch up later with.
Thanks for everything Joy!
Joy did an amazing job doing my makeup for the trial and wedding day! I had the trial on the day of my bridal shower to enjoy it and received so many compliments. Everyone said my makeup was flawless and that they had to know who did it. She li...
stened to exactly what I wanted and gave me a beautiful super glam look! For the wedding day, we did the same thing and it lasted all day. I was nervous at first about the airbrush and if it would make my face break out but it did not and it lasted all day through sweat and tears. We had it done at 7 AM and it lasted until midnight +. I highly recommend Joy and will absolutely use her again in the future if I need to get my makeup done for anything. She was also super sweet and we had great conversations during both sessions.
Any questions?
Joy (Makeup) is the kind of person you want to surround yourself with on your wedding day. Joy was nothing short of precise, focused, efficient, calm, and patient. I was speechless when I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like a bride bu...
t I was still me. Nothing was too much or too little; just right. She also made all of the important women in my life look and feel stunning. Joy noticed I was anxious and was so understanding and provided so much reassurance and positivity. Everyone's makeup and hair stayed put all day; it survived, tears, laughter, and sweat! I am so grateful to Joy for making my day so beautiful.
JL Makeup and Beauty Studio absolutely did a beautiful job on all of my Daughter’s Bridesmaids, Flower Girls, Grandmothers, Moms and especially my Daughter!! Joy had a timeline for all of us for hair and makeup. Joy and the other stylists that ...
worked on us were extremely efficient and had all of us done in plenty of time to get dressed! Everyone looked radiant and beautiful!! I would definitely recommend JL Makeup and Beauty Studio for any occasion!!
Choosing a makeup artist for my wedding was a hard choice for me and after making a detailed pro/con list of different stylists, I am so happy that I chose Joy of Beauty by Joy! I have never truly LOVED makeup that I’ve had professional done be...
fore, but at both my trial and on my wedding day, Joy knocked it out of the park. She made me look like me but so much more elevated and polished while being so sweet and relatable. She knows all of the tricks to help you look flawless in your photos and was able to take any suggestions of my bridesmaids and I and turn them into sheer perfection! My makeup didn’t budge after over 12 hours of wear and I never felt shiny or like I needed any touchups. I can’t possibly express how much I loved working with Joy and her team and how thrilled I was with the results she provided for my wedding. She is absolutely the best in the business and I would make the same choice ten times over again! Thank you, Joy!
Joy was an absolute dream to work with! From day one, she was extremely responsive to emails and had me at ease throughout our entire planning process. Before working with her, i was skeptical of getting my makeup but when my trial came around,...
she blew me away. I kept saying over and over that i have never looked that good and i held true to that statement...until my actual wedding day when she exceeded all expectations. She was so sweet, easy to talk to, listened to what we all wanted and made me look like an elevated version of myself which was exactly what i wanted. All of my bridesmaids absolutely loved their makeup and we all looked incredible! She is a must have for your big day!
My husband and I got married on 9/28 and JL Makeup Studio and especially Joy and Sammie were exceptional to work with. I had another makeup/hair artist get my wedding date wrong and booked JL Makeup studio on a whim and couldn’t have been happi...
er that I did. Joy did my makeup for my wedding and Sammie did hair. From the beginning they were quick with their responses back to me from the knot and we were able to book them within a couple hours. Joy and Sammie both were great with communication and timing leading up to my trial and wedding day. I did my trial at their studio and couldn’t have been more pleased with how it turned out. They confirmed the information with me not only a month before the wedding but also the week of to make sure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding. I couldn’t have asked for more with these two. On the day of the wedding they were prompt with arrival at the exact time they said they would be. The whole day ran on time and everyone in my bridal party, MOG, MOB, and myself loved how our hair and makeup turned out. Overall, I would highly recommend JL makeup studio and Joy and Sammie as they are professional, timely, talented, knowledgeable and make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day!
Sooooo incredibly happy with my make-up by Joy for my wedding day. It was honestly PERFECT.
Joy is so extremely talented. I was very worried about my make-up for my wedding day because I wear very limited make-up on a daily basis and really do...
n't know much about make-up products, etc.
I explained to Joy that I wanted a simple/natural look but also wanted it to be special and enough for my big day. She totally nailed it. I was SO happy with it, 100% confident that it was perfect. I received SO many compliments all day.
In addition, my bridesmaids, moms & flower girl LOVED their make up as well. Two of them even said to me that this is the first time they had their make up done and actually loved it.
Joy and her team are so incredibly professional, respond to you immediately, show up early, really everything you could ask for.
JOY - THANK YOU!
I had an great experience with Beauty by Joy. Joy did an exceptional job for my wedding and wedding party makeup! All the girls looked beautiful and everyone was happy with their makeup. She is very professional and responsive. Definitely gla...

8 am until midnight. I'm so glad that I chose to work with them!
Wow! How do I even put this into words?!? Joy was absolutely wonderful! Back in February she did a trial run of my wedding makeup and I happened to be having my engagement pictures done that day as well- tons and tons of compliments on my makeu...
p! She did my wedding makeup as well as my mom, grandma, mother in law, and bridesmaids. I have never seen a more beautiful group of women! Everyone ‘s makeup looked natural but very elegant. Joy did my makeup a little more on the glamour side and I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this experience so perfect. You have my highest recommendation! Thanks for making us look like a million bucks!! :)
Joy and Mary Beth provided make-up for me, my bridesmaids, and my mother and mother-in-law on my wedding day at Carnegie Museum in December 2017. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. My...
bridesmaids are still commenting on how much they loved their make-up on my wedding day. At my trial, Joy gave me a look that was flawless and timeless! On the day of my wedding, everyone looked amazing! I was so calm all day because I knew I was in such great hands. Our makeup looked perfect all night long! I can’t recommend Joy enough, she is so talented and you can tell she really loves what she does. Thanks again for everything, Joy!
Prepared to look flawless? Enter Joy from Makeup by Joy. I found Joy the best way possible… my husband (fiancé at the time) and I attended a friend’s wedding in Pittsburgh, PA and I was so awe-struck by the bridal makeup that I couldn’t wait to...
learn who the bride's makeup artist was. The bride (already a natural beauty) was simply stunning and looked like the very best version of herself. I don’t wear a ton of makeup in my every day so I wanted my makeup to be dramatic enough to photograph beautifully but not too dramatic where my fiancé was wondering who he was standing next to!
I set up a makeup trial with Joy, which was like a spa-day come true. I felt completely pampered heading into her studio where for over an hour, she created ART on my face!
Let’s start with the airbrush makeup. Joy airbrushes all of her brides – and their bridesmaids – because it gives everyone a clean and finished look. I couldn’t agree more. My skin glowed. My cheekbones popped. My breakout from the copious amounts of wine I drank the night before… HIDDEN! The best part, it’s not caked on… meaning makeup wasn’t stuck in my fine lines.
Then, eyes… I love a fake eye lash but (like so many others) have NO CLUE HOW TO PUT THEM ON or what looks best. Joy walked me through multiple pairs and we chose one that made my eyes POP but I felt comfortable in (length and volume wise). Then… she added SPARKLE! I’m a huge fan of glitter (as a way to complement – not take over) so when Joy suggested adding a bit of gold sparkle to my eye lids to coordinate with the gold threading in my wedding dress, I was sold. I thought, “this woman gets me”.
I liked Joy’s work so much in my trial, that I booked her to do my makeup for my boudoir bridal shoot a few weeks later. She modified my look so that it was a bit more sultry but again, applied just enough so that it came across on film. Oh, and she contoured my collar bone – once more, the wonders of airbrushing!
Going into the wedding day, I wasn’t worried about a thing. I knew that Joy and her team would deliver the best makeup service possible for both myself and the special ladies in my life. Everyone walked away loving their look and felt so confident walking down the aisle.
Thank you Joy for making me feel so very comfortable in my own skin and for highlighting all the right features! You truly made me feel like the very best version of myself on our wedding day!
Joy was really great to work with! She's extremely talented and was very accommodating. She took ample time during my trial to make sure I had a look I loved for my wedding day. My makeup lasted the entire day and looked gorgeous in photos. Tha...
nk you for everything, Joy!
Joy is the best of the best, not only did she do an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding , I continue you to use her for multiple events!
Joy is AMAZING!!! She was so accommodating, professional, fun and is absolutely the best makeup artist I have ever had!! She took her time during my trial to make sure my wedding day makeup was perfect and that’s exacly what it was PERFECT!!She...
made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!
So glad I found Joy to do my makeup on my wedding day! She made me feel beautiful and the make up lasted all night. I received several compliments on my makeup on my wedding day also. Definitely recommend her!
Joy was a lifesaver! She was super professional and great with what makeup she chose. She did my bridal makeup and then also for my mom and teenage daughter. We all felt so beautiful for the big day! Joy came on location to my home! So pleased!...
!
Joy is a wonder to work with. She has a great personality and communicates well when talking about makeup. Her work is lovely and lasted the entirety of my wedding day! Highly recommended!
Joy was fabulous to work with! She was super accommodating (we had a lot of girls needing to get ready in a tiny cabin) and her work was stunning. I look back on my photos and can't believe it's actually me!! My makeup was absolutely perfect! S...
he listened to my wants and didn't do anything without checking with me first (I'm a false eye lash newbie!) I would highly recommend her and her team for any time you need to look your absolute best! My bridesmaids and I have been joking that we need an event as an excuse to hire her again! I cannot rave about her enough :)
Joy was amazing! She made me feel very comfortable. She really listened to me and gave advice off of my suggestions which was very important to me. She was very professional, on time and so sweet. My sister is getting married next year and we a...
re using Joy again because everyone was so happy with the results! I highly recommend using her for the most important day of your life!

Joy did such an excellent on my mother, sister and I for my wedding on July 30! She was very reasonably priced and came to Morgantown, WV. She knows exactly what she is doing and made me feel like a million bucks.
Joy and Allie did mine and my bridal party's makeup on July 15 on-site. The arrived in plenty of time to ensure everyone was finished in enough time for pictures. Joy is great to work with and so fun! It's obvious she truly enjoys what she does...
. She takes her time and makes sure everyone is comfortable with how the makeup feels/looks on. Even during the makeup trial, she really took her time to get to know me, my style and the look I was going for. I highly recommend using the JL Makeup ladies!
Joy did mine and my bridesmaids makeup yesterday for my wedding and I can't say enough good things about her ! She was super nice and fun and everyone loved my makeup. Very highly recommended !!

Joy travelled to Deep Creek MD to do myself and my bridesmaids makeup and the process could not have been easier! She did such a great job and we got many compliments about the makeup. The best part is that it stayed perfect all day and night, ...
even through countless hours of dancing! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist, especially for their wedding day.
I would highly recommend using JL makeup studio! They did a phenomenal job at my wedding. All my girls looked amazing and our makeup looked just as good at the end of the night as it did at the beginning. They were wonderful to work with and ve...

Bottom line, Joy made me feel flawless on my wedding day. It really felt like I was getting advice from a great girlfriend about what did / did not look good on me. I had a number of girlfriends getting married at the same time as me and, I...
can say with complete confidence, Joy was the most responsive, flexible, patient makeup artist I could have worked with in the Pittsburgh area. From the trial to the morning of my wedding, Joy kept me in the loop and was incredibly organized and professional with scheduling and listening to what I wanted. I've had my makeup professionally done in the past and have ALWAYS ended up going back to fix something on my own. For myself and my four bridesmaids, not a single one of us wanted to touch anything on our faces because we felt so beautiful. Joy takes the time to talk through her process with you to make sure that she was understanding what we wanted and how we felt about the looks.
I truly felt like the best version of myself that day and would HIGHLY recommend Joy to any bride in the Pittsburgh area.
Joy should be any bride's number one choice for wedding makeup. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. My makeup was more than perfect! I was so pleased with how my makeup looked and how it remained perfect throughout the en...
tire day. Joy and her team were a pleasure to work with and I hope to work with Joy again in the future!
Joy was absolutely amazing and such a pleasure to work with! She is so talented and was truly able to bring my bridal vision to life. Joy was incredibly accommodating and traveled to the apartment where my bridesmaids and I were getting ready ...
-- she adapted to the guest bedroom and made it feel like a real make-up studio! Her work is absolutely flawless and worth every penny! I would highly recommend Joy for any wedding!
Joy IS the best ever!! She will make you feel an look like your most BEAUTIFUL you!!! Joy is not only over the top knowledgable, her fun personality and love of makeup is contagious!!!!
All my sessions with Joy have been wonderful--she is fabulous to work with & extremely flexible & knowledgeable! She will always be my makeup artist for any event! Thanks, Joy, for the fabulous job you do!
Makeup by Joy is flawless. She made me feel like a fairy princess. She was easy to work with and willing to listen to me.
Joy did my make up for my prom and senior pictures and I absolutely love her and I would recommend her to anyone!
Joy did my make up for a wedding. The airbrush was awesome, and lasted all day. She was very sweet and does great work. I highly recommend her to anyone needing their make up done for ANY event!!
I can not say enough amazing things about Joy. She was absolutely wonderful, listened to my ideas and brought my vision to life! I am so thankful I decided to have her as my makeup artist for my most important day! I will absolutely use her aga...
in in the future! Thank you Joy!!!
To say that Joy was amazing to work with would be an understatement! Everything was smooth and simple from scheduling a trial, to wedding day touch ups. I had done endless research and was hesitant about airbrush makeup. However, Joy assured...
me it was the best choice! I could not have been happier! My face was still looking great at 2am! Having her work on location with a big bridal party was ideal! Book Joy and her team! You won't regret it!
Joy was my makeup artist for my August 5th wedding. After reading her amazing reviews, I knew I had to book her and I am so glad that I did! She is SO knowledgeable about makeup and knows the best products on the market. Her attention to detail...
is unbelievable. I opted to do the trial, and I'm so glad that I did. There were a few minor changes I made from the trial, and when Joy completed my makeup on wedding day-she absolutely perfected it! I had my makeup done for a friend's wedding which didn't even compare to what Joy can do, and shows how incredible and talented Joy is at what she does. She is also so sweet and fun to chat with on your wedding day. Thanks again Joy for everything! :)
Joy is a dream- an absolute must book for your wedding day! Her charisma is infectious, and her talent is simply the best in Pittsburgh! With Joy, you'll be glowing and beautiful for the best day of your life! Book early- she's one in a million...

Joy is phenomenal, and until you work with her, you won't know the depth of her talent. I'm so glad to have worked with her.
Joy is truly the best of the best. It was an absolute dream working with her for my wedding. On the day of my trial she blew me away with her attention to detail and how she knew exactly what would be best for me when I couldn't quite put into ...
words what I wanted. On the wedding day she did my makeup, my mom's, and my 5 bridesmaids and everyone was flawless. Not only did everyone look incredible, but we stayed on schedule throughout the morning!! My makeup lasted all day and still looked perfect at the end of the night. Joy is the absolute best and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to look beautiful on your wedding day!!
Words cannot describe how amazing Joy is. She's done my makeup three times and each time I'm like "wow can I really look like that?!"
The night before the wedding, when I was stressing about everything else, I knew I could count on Joy to make...
me look like the beautiful bride I wanted to be. Would definitely hire again!!

I learned so much about makeup and tools even in just the few hours I spent with her. I HIGHLY recommend brides to book Joy for their wedding day! You will absolutely not regret it!
I could go on and on about Joy! She was amazing to work with and her quality of work will go unmatched! Booking Joy was simple and stress free! She is so easy to get a hold of, and she is there when you need her. She traveled a good distance to...
do a trial for me and my mom on the day of my bridal shower which was so wonderful! Joy listens to any suggestions or input you have, and will accommodate your wishes. She has pinpoint accuracy with all aspects of the looks that you desire! One thing that I loved about Joy is that she gets to know you during the whole process. We laughed because we felt like we knew each other before we even met in person! They day of my wedding was cloudy and rainy, but Joy brings everything to perfect the look. She came with lights and all!! We had a total of seven girls getting makeup done. Joy and her assistant were amazing! Services were efficient without lacking on quality whatsoever. There was not a single dissatisfied girl in the bunch, and they all got to know Joy during the process. They LOVED her! Everyone looked absolutely stunning! The girls took my breath away. When it came time for me to look in the mirror at my own makeup, I have never felt more beautiful. The bridal image came to life! Only about an hour after my makeup was complete, the tears started flowing....they didn't stop until about 8:30 that night. I was amazed that after the tears, and the sweat from excess dance moves, I looked just as amazing as I did when I looked in the mirror after Joy was finished. One thing that every bride wants is great makeup. You, your friends, your family, your future children, will look at your wedding pictures and compliment how beautiful you looked for years and years and years - so go with Joy and you won't be disappointed!
I loved working with Joy! My airbrush makeup lasted all night even through all of my tears!
I got married this past August in Bedford Springs and Joy came on site to do my make-up as well as the 3 bridesmaid and 2 moms. I found Joy by searching on The Knot for airbrush make-up artists that travel to your location. I noticed she had ...
all 5 star reviews so I reached out and got lucky that she had my date open. As soon I met with Joy for the trial - she made me feel so comfortable and definitely listens to what type of look you want. On my wedding, she did an AMAZING job. My make-up looked perfect and stayed on through the hot weather in August, the tears, and the dancing. I cannot thank Joy enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding and would definitely recommend her to other brides!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joy as a makeup artist and as a person. I had never done airbrush makeup before and had concerns of looking unnatural for my wedding. During my trial, she listened very intently to my concerns and wa...
s so reassuring and confident. Both my trial day and my wedding day makeup were FABULOUS and it didn't budge on a 91 degree day in a church with NO air-conditionin! And aside from being freaking awesome at what she does, Joy is so sweet, pleasant, and just a pleasure to work with. I am confident in saying that you will not be disappointed if you hire her:)
Let me first say that Joy is the BEST!! I connected with her immediately during my trial and she help me to feel extra special and calm on the big day. You really couldn't ask for a better person to work with!
Joy isn't just a pretty face,...
she does AMAZING work! She took the time to make sure my makeup was absolutely perfect and just how I wanted it. Even though it was really hot all day and I was sweating constantly my make-up looked perfect the entire time. I am so glad that I did this, worth every penny!
I loved my airbrush make-up! It stayed on through the day/night and looked perfect. Joy was very professional and went above and beyond. Thank you for making me beautiful!
Having Joy come to my home with my bridal party and family able to just relax before the wedding ceremony was MY FAVORITE part of the day. She is such a professional and so talented at her work. My makeup was exactly what I wanted and lasted al...
l day. My entire bridal party was so pleased with their makeup and she gave us all great everyday tips. We all agreed life would be better if Joy could do our makeup everyday. She arrived on time and we were all finished well before the time we had planned for. She is THE BEST!
LOVE LOVE LOVED beauty by Joy!! If you are getting married in the greater PGH area schedule your trial run with Joy and I promise you will love her and will end up booking her! I am so thankful that I found her and that I was able to book her...
for my wedding. After spending about 10 minutes with Joy it was obvious that make-up was more than a career/profession, it's clearly her passion. She uses a lot of the same brands of make-up that I do. My wedding party had 7 people and we were all done with our make-up on time, it was perfect, myself and my bridesmaids never looked so beautiful. My girls told me several times how impressed they were with Joy, her assistant, and how they looked. Both the traditional and airbrush styles held up throughout the day and well into the night. I feel that her prices are reasonable for the quality of work she does. I love how sweet Joy and her assistant were to my sister who is 22 years old and has downs syndrome, they were so patient and understanding; and I assure you my sister can be difficult to handle at times. I wish that I could go back in time and replay my wedding, it was so perfect, and Joy made sure that we all looked beautiful. I cannot recommend Joy highly enough, on a 1-10 scale her services are a 20!!!
Joy was fantastic to work with!! She made myself and the bridal party look flawless. The makeup was perfect and lasted until I went to bed at 3 in the morning!
I can't tell you how pleased I was with Joy's makeup services. She is so good at what she does---we all looked amazing! She is so easy to work with and patient :-) She was on-time and got all of us done in plenty of time. I HIGHLY recommend...
Joy for your wedding or any special occasion event. She was super!
Joy's work is absolutely stunning! I couldn't have been more happier about how my make-up looked on my wedding day. She's easy to work with, responds quickly to emails, and even recommended a girl to do my hair. When talking with other brides, ...
I tell him about Joy and her gorgeous work. I HIGHLY recommend Beauty by Joy!!!! Book before it's too late :-)
Joy was so great to work with. She made my wedding day unforgettable. From the trial through the day of the wedding her makeup was flawless. Definitely do the airbrush, my makeup from getting ready at 12:30pm (my choice since I did early pictur...
es) through midnight looked the same! I was shocked that everything stayed and looked as beautiful as when it was first put on. I want to comment that Joy also helped identify our wedding hair dressers, Sarah and Mary Ann were also so great to work with. They do beautiful hair and I recommend them to anyone who is having a wedding. My hair up do was so unique and matched the vision so well. Thank you Joy! My bridal party and our families loved your makeup and professionalism.
Joy is absolutely amazing!!! She is very prompt with getting back to you and also does a trial before your big day. I received airbrush makeup and it was absolutely flawless. My pictures turned out amazing and everyone complemented my makeup. W...
ithout a doubt if you are interested in airbrush or even regular makeup you will NOT be disappointed with her services!

Joy was fabulous to work with. Prices were great. She was friendly & professional. Everyone loved their make up. If I'm ever in need of professional make up again, I'd use Joy. Make up stayed on great all day, thru the outdoor ceremony & the en...

Joy did an excellent job on makeup for me and my wedding party! She came right to the site where we were getting ready which was really convenient. Everyone's makeup looked gorgeous, but still natural - she really brought out our best features...
. My makeup lasted all day through the ceremony and reception - without any smudges or greasy appearance. I am so pleased at what a great job Joy did and I would absolutely recommend her to any other brides!
Joy did a wonderful job with makeup at my wedding. I had a two day Indian wedding and she complemented each look so perfectly!!
I've never had makeup done before and don't wear makeup on a day to day basis so I was apprehensive about it, ...
but she made me feel so calm and beautiful! I couldn't believe how comfortable and good I felt when I looked in the mirror. She even made me feel confident in red lipstick!
I would definitely recommend Joy to anyone looking to have a stress-free, beautiful look on their wedding day that doesn't smudge or change for hours and hours.
She is professional, very prompt and responsive via email, text, phone, and always prepared.
Thanks again Joy!
Let me just start by saying that Joy is not only an amazing make-up artist but so sweet as well. She did the make up for two bridesmaids, my mom, and myself at my wedding in June and we all looked amazing! Many of us do not wear makeup every ...
day and didn’t have a lot of guidance for her but she was able to make us look great all on her own. I had my trial run in March and liked how I looked but it didn’t compare to how amazing my make-up came out on the wedding day. She is a miracle worker! She also remembered small chit-chat that we had in March about the wedding and asked me about it on the wedding day. I was really impressed! I cannot recommend her enough!
Joy is AMAZING! She is fun, friendly and so easy to work with (instant friend!) Not to mention that fact that she comes to you and offers some of the most sought after products and techniques in the business! I knew I loved her work the first ...
time I met her at her home for my wedding day trial! She took her time and made sure that I loved what she was doing. My wedding day makeup was just stunning. It was perfect, not too much, just me made more beautiful! I would recommend Joy for any of your makeup needs (wedding or not!) You will find she is passionate and loves what she does! No disappointments!
Joy did my makeup and two of my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding on June 14, 2013. I had the pleasure of working with Joy prior to my wedding for my friend's wedding last summer. I was impressed with her work then, and was equally, if not mor...
e impressed for my own wedding. I felt like Joy was just one of the girls as she did our makeup. She is so fun and easy to talk to! Joy takes the time to listen to what you want and takes that vision and makes it an even more beautiful than I ever imagined reality. I still looked like me, just a more glamorized version! I loved having the opportunity to work with Joy, and I would definitely book her for another event (like boudoir photos!)!
Just imagine- your make up is finished and you take your first look in a hand mirror- you immediately begin to cry because you have never seen yourself THAT beautiful in your life!! I didn't mean to mess up her beautiful work- and thank goodnes...
s it was water proof- That sums up my experience with Joy Lager- she is a professional makeup artist. She truly knows how to work with color and she is a "joy" to work with!! Having professional makeup done is a must when your being photographed all night- I never did touch- ups because my makeup lasted through the whole event!!
I give Joy 10 stars!!
My make up for my wedding was wonderful. Joy did a great job on everyone from my grandmother down to my two very young flower girls. Everyone looked great and really loved their make. Everyone enjoyed the fact they were able to work with Joy...
and her assistant to complete their look to the color and style they wanted, as I was not very specific on a look, since I wanted everyone to love their make up and not feel like they were forced to look like someone they were not not. Joy was prompt and kept on time and promised to have me out of the salon by 12:30 and we were perfect.
I had originally booked Joy because she would travel to my parents house, but then changed to a salon and Joy was more the willing to work with me to change the locations and everything was perfect. If I would need my make up done again for another event Joy would be my first call.
Joy was so great from the very start. She came out to my parent’s house, which was a bit of a far drive, the morning of our engagement photos to do my makeup trial. She listened to my ideas and made suggestions, and did an amazing job. On the d...
ay of the wedding she was on time, got all set up and got to work with makeup for 3 of us. Her and my BM talked me into the false eyelashes and I have to say I loved them. I did the airbrush makeup and it was perfect throughout the whole day! While it was a bit expensive, I am SO glad I paid the money to have her do on-location makeup. It was well worth it because she is so talented and professional, and so easy to work with! I got so many compliments and the makeup looks perfect in our photos!
Joy was absolutely amazing on my wedding day in Johnstown, PA. She arrived on time and ready to go. She did my makeup and my bridesmaid’s eye makeup. She literally made me look and feel like a princess! Everyone was so impressed with her. E...
verything got kind of crazy towards the last half hour, but you could tell Joy was a professional and so wonderfully patient. My makeup lasted all day and showed up beautifully in all the pictures and video. Throughout the process, she was incredibly sweet and responsive. Out of all the decisions I made for my wedding day, choosing Joy to do my makeup was one of the best. Why take the chance of having anything less than the best on the most photographed day of your life? Thanks again Joy!
My makeup was flawless on the day of my wedding thanks to Joy. I have oily skin, so I was skeptical of how long the airbrush makeup would last, but it honestly lasted all through the ceremony, reception, and after party (until about 1:30 am). ...
My skin looked gorgeous in my wedding photos as a result of Joy's airbrush expertise.
All 6 of my bridesmaids also had makeup applied on the day of the wedding (some airbrush and some traditional). Joy and her assistant worked efficiently and skillfully to provide each bridesmaid with beautiful makeup suited to their personal tastes. Everything was taken care of professionally and on time, which is crucial for the big day.
I'm extremely picky about my makeup, and have had bad experiences before. Joy was nothing short of amazing. She incorporated the ideas I wanted along with what went well with my natural coloring. Joy takes pride in her work and makes sure th...
at you are perfectly satisfied. Not to mention she's amazingly sweet and knows how to calm a bride's nerves on the big day!!

It was such a pleasure to work with Joy for my wedding. She is professional, accommodating, funny and very pleasant to be around. She is prompt and is good with follow-up. The best things about Joy is that she knows faces. She knows how to shap...
e and contour your makeup so that it compliments your face shape and features. The makeup that she used is current and did not feel caked on, even with air brushing. I was thrilled with how my makeup looked for my wedding and it withstood the many tears, multiple kisses and a night full of dancing. I would most certainly recommend Joy for all events big or small and I look forward to working with her again.
I knew from the moment I looked at Joy's website that I wanted her to do my makeup and she didn't disappoint! I have had family and friends tell me I was the most beautiful bride they have ever seen and my husband couldn't agree more! I was ac...
tually floored by how I was transformed but yet still looked like myself. I didn't have a trial so was alittle nervous but I brought in a few pictures and looked at Joy's book to give her a sense of what I was wanting. She was able to cover up a burn I got from eyebrow waxing with the airbrush makeup. It stayed on all day- I didn't have to use powder or anything and even through the tears, my eye makeup looked perfect. Joy was a pleasure to work with and I want to get married again so she can do my makeup!!
Joy is a very talented makeup artist! My entire bridal party opted for the airbrush make-up application and not only was the makeup light, but also extremely durable. Joy arrived early, finished the entire bridal party in a timely manner, focus...
ed on what each girl wanted, and was smiling throughout the entire process. I have already recommended her services to family and friends, and will continue to do so!
Joy was absolutely wonderful and was so easy to work with. She came to my home to do a trial run of how I wanted my makeup done. The day of the wedding Joy and her assistant came to where we were getting ready. The makeup was wonerful....es...
pecially the airbrush. I cannot believe the makeup looked the same at midnight as it did at 1 PM. She did makeup for 3 of my bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful I would highly recommend Joy. I know if I ever need my makeup done again for a special occassion I will look no further than hiring Joy again.
Joy was amazing! She is very prompt, professional, and talented. She did the airbrush style makeup for my mid-August wedding and it was incredible! I would HIGHLY recommend booking Joy for your wedding - but don't delay, she gets booked earl...

d I felt and looked beautiful in every shot thanks to her. My mother, mother-in-law, and sister also got airbrush application and they all RAVED about their looks and received compliments the whole night! She was very professional throughout the whole process. She has got us in contact with Sarah Stamm who did a wonderful job on hair for everyone in the bridal party! Overall, she is a talented make-up artist and a wonderful person. I would highly recommend that you book her and as soon as possible so you don't miss out!
I don't have enough time or room for all the good things I have to say about Joy and her services for my special day. First off, I originally booked for myself, my mother, my mother in law, and my maid of honor to get our airbrush make up done....
Joy met us at our hotel on time and started working immediately. We were so impressed with her that we asked if she could apply make up to 3 more bridesmaids. (1 airbrush- 1 traditional- 1 just eye make up) Joy said no problem and actually managed to finish ahead of schedule. Joy was so flexible and just so comfortable to be around. All of the ladies just looked absolutely stunning. I have never felt more beautiful than the day of my wedding, thanks to Joy. The airbrush make up is the way to go! I received so many compliments, especially for my eyes and eye lashes. I highly recommend Beauty by Joy!! Thank you so much Joy for your services and making my girls and I beautiful for my special day.

applied my makeup. I had changed my mind on colorings since our consultation and she took exactly what I described and made it happen on the day. Plus i had a GIANT bridal party (10 girls) and she got everyone in with the time we had aloted. All girls were so giddy about their makeup. I wish she could live with me and do my make up every morning! Plus it lasted throughout the entire day, which was hot and sweaty mind you. Joy is fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend her to any bride... book her quick before she fills up!!
Joy is absolutely wonderful! Her prices are great and I've never looked better than on the night of my wedding!!! She travels for consultations which worked perfectly. I live out of town and one of the weekends that I was there for wedding p...

ooks. She really listened to what I wanted. I loved my makeup after the trial but my makeup on the day of the wedding was even better than the trial and exceeded all of my expectations. She did airbrush makeup on me and my sister-in-law and traditional makeup for my Mom. All of the makeup was beautiful and lasted all night. By the end of the night my makeup looked as fresh as it did for the wedding ceremony. I would recommend Joy to anyone.

craziness of my bridesmaids and photographer. She did an amazing job on my eyes--I just loved the way they turned out.

all of my bridesmaids and moms. She was very professional, on time, knowledgable about her products, and gave everyone actually what they had hoped for that day. I had never been airbrushed before, and Joy made my skin look flawless and beautiful. She provided me with dramatic eyes that looked fab in my pictures. All of our makeup held up through 90+ degrees weather, and I did not have to touch up once. In fact, at the end of the night in pictures my makeup looked just as fabulous as it did that afternoon. Beauty by Joy helped make my wedding day perfect. She is a top notched professional. Thanks for your services and tips....
