I had the absolute pleasure of working with Stephanie for my October wedding, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From our very first trial to the big day, she was professiona...
l, warm, and incredibly talented.
Stephanie took the time to really listen to what I wanted and helped bring my vision to life—even better than I imagined. She perfectly captured the romantic, soft glam look I was going for, and the makeup lasted beautifully all day and night (through happy tears and hours of dancing!).
Not only did she make me feel stunning, but my entire bridal party looked amazing too. She was calm, organized, and such a positive presence the morning of the wedding—it felt like having another friend there cheering me on.
If you're looking for a makeup artist who is skilled, reliable, and genuinely cares about making you feel your best, Stephanie is your girl. I’m so grateful she was a part of my special day! 💕
I truly cannot recommend BlushTones, specifically Lindsey and Regina, enough!!! I booked Lindsey for my wedding but worked with Regina for my bridal makeup trial due to scheduling ...
conflicts; and could not have been happier with my experiences with both!! For my bridal makeup trial, I gave Regina a vague soft glam description and used all the incorrect terminology, but she completely understood my vision. I was blown away!!! I was so impressed after this experience, that I booked Regina again for Special Occasion makeup for my rehearsal. This gave me the opportunity to try another makeup look, which ended up being the look I went with for the wedding day.
While my makeup looked amazing at the trial and rehearsal, it was even more beautiful on my wedding day with Lindsey!! Even though we had not worked together before, Regina had already filled Lindsey in on what I wanted and it was a seamless transition! I really CANNOT emphasize enough how beautiful I felt. I received nonstop compliments all evening and my makeup lasted through crying/kissing/dancing/drinking... My makeup continued to look great all night, I never once worry about fixing it, and though it wasn't my intention to leave it on...it was intact, false lashes and all, the next morning.
Lindsey also made all my bridesmaids, moms, and grandmas look absolutely gorgeous. We all could not stop talking about how this was the best wedding makeup service we all had experienced! Not only did we feel beautiful and receive the exact look we requested; we had so much fun with Lindsey and her team, and she moved through our large group with ease. Book them for your wedding!
My bridal makeup trial was used for my bridal shoot (see photos), and that was just the trial! Again, it was even better on the wedding day! After working with Regina and Lindsey, I feel like we are all friends, and I will create events just to work with them again and again.
I am so happy that I was able to get Stephanie from BlushTones! She was so fun to work with and made me and my bridesmaids feel our best. She is very thorough, easy to talk to and ...
made us all feel so comfortable while getting glammed up! The makeup wore well all day and so did the lashes! Trust me...there were lots of tears shed on my end all day and it still looked great! Thank you, Stephanie!
Where do I even begin? Stephanie was the absolute best. She was with me as a COVID 2020 engaged bride who stuck by my side for TWO years, a date change, a venue change… and adding ...
an extra 10 people to my original contract. She made my wedding weekend so incredible special not only by doing my makeup (which was perfect) and my bridesmaids and family but with her calming presence, beautiful attention to detail and a personality that lit up a room. She made EVERY single girl feel special and beautiful. Also NOT one single person changed their makeup that day, which we all know this happens to often at weddings when someone isn’t happy with her makeup… it’s because she listened to what people wanted and knew how to enhance their own beauty! she did over 16+ faces in one day! Stephanie made every single girl feel beautiful in their own skin that that’s what I wanted the most on my wedding day! She is the most reliable vendor and I would hire her again and again and again. If there’s one thing you need to do, it is to book Stephanie! Ps she does the best damn cat eye I have ever seen. Thank you Stephanie, you are the most magical human, I will never forget you giving me the best gift ever, making me feel my most beautiful on the most special day of my life! 🫶🏽😭
Leah was the artist for my wedding day and Victoria came along to assist her since we had 12 girls. I truly thought everyone looked so spectacular... there wasn't one girl who I d...
idn't think looked magical!! Leah did my trial and I absolutely loved it. She was definitely open for any critique or anything I wanted to change, but I wanted to keep everything 99% the same because it was so good! She has such good energy and makes you feel calm on your wedding day. I am a crier and my makep still looked so good even after tears! Couldn't recommend blush tones enough!
I am so thankful I chose Stephanie as my makeup artist, she is truly amazing at what she does! I am a big crier and even after multiple tears were shed, my makeup still somehow rem...
ained flawless! Everyone's makeup looked so stunning throughout the night & that's all thanks to Stephanie! She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt! Not only is she amazing at what she does but she is so fun to work with! If you are on the fence on hiring her, I can without a doubt say if you hired her you would not be disappointed! She is truly the best of the best!
Stephanie was beyond incredible. I don't wear much makeup on a day to day basis, and on special occasions I do the same look I've done since prom. It was important for me to find s...
omeone who made me feel beautiful and bridal but still look like myself. Stephanie nailed it. Throughout the trial she talked me through each step and always encouraged me to speak up about what I liked and didn't like. I left feeling so giddy, yet somehow on my wedding day it turned out even better than the trial. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself and didn't feel like the makeup was wearing me. I'm still so blown away. I also had my mom and MIL get their makeup done, and neither wear a lot of makeup regularly either. But Stephanie made them both feel so comfortable and beautiful. I haven't seen my mom glow like that in such a long time! Please please please consider Stephanie for your wedding - you won't regret it!

, Stephanie made sure everything felt and looked just how I imagined, trying multiple types of foundation and eyelashes! We had a bridesmaid swap the morning of our wedding due to illness and Stephanie was so flexible and pulled out all the stops to make sure myself, my bridesmaids and my mother looked their very best. Everyone looked so BEAUTIFUL!! I am so happy we hired Stephanie!
Blushtones in Norfolk is amazing! They were one of the last vendors I selected, but they were one of the best choices. Alex managed to get 8 bridesmaids, moms, and myself done with...

ould not imagine working with anyone else on my special day! She was so great from start to finish, and I will be bragging about her to all future brides. I received so many compliments on my makeup, and the makeup held up through all of the crying, dancing and laughing. Stephanie is so much fun and truly cares about her brides, trying to connect with everyone involved. Love love love!
Stephanie was amazing to work with! She did an excellent facial and my makeup once I was diagnosed with breast cancer, after I lost my hair to chemotherapy. The pampering was exa...

I worked with the Norfolk location:
I loved working with Holly- she was so much fun! I had a bridal trial and then the big day. I loved everything from the trial but she was so w...
illing to accept any feedback and do whatever I wanted. She also did my mom and aunt's makeup and my whole bridal party -- Holly can make anyone look their best! And she kept us still looking like ourselves which I loved -- I didn't want to hide my freckles :) Best part, Holly blends into the day seamlessly! She feels like just one of your bridal party/friends because she is so sweet and fun!
I cannot say enough positive things about BlushTones. I had one trial run with Stephanie and knew I would be making a huge mistake if I didn’t book with them.
It was important fo...
r me to pamper my bridesmaids, mother’s and myself and to make sure no one had anything to worry about, were comfortable and had fun. And oh my gosh, I wish you could’ve seen everyone. We had the most BEAUTIFUL wedding party. Everyone had so much fun with Stephanie, it was like she was a part of our girl gang and not just our make up artist.
I would recommend her to anyone for any event. You won’t be disappointed.
Side note: when researching make up artists, everyone was charging like $85 + $20 for eyelashes, etc. with BlushTones, it’s just a flat rate for everyone. Loved that! And there was never any surprises. I knew what I was getting with them.
Stephanie was simply amazing! She did everything that everyone wanted perfectly! Our initial trial was great, and even after I changed some things for the day of, she was flawless!...
Absolutely love her! Our bridal party loved her so much that a friend ended up using her for her own wedding as well! Nothing but great things to say!
Stephanie is an absolute angel! I had 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and myself and she knocked it out of the freaking park!! We started makeup at 5:45 am and Stephanie was perfectly on ti...
me and energetic so bright and early. Also, the girls who got their makeup done early still looked flawless by the wedding at 4:00pm. Stephanie also made a point to stay after my first look with my dad to touch up my makeup! I can not say enough good things about her, highly recommend! Her work is so beautiful and she's great at staying natural or doing a more glamorous look!

Seriously the best makeup artist... ever!! I’ve been a bridesmaid in two weddings now that have used Stephaine and I don’t know why anyone would ever use anyone else!! The makeup w...
as flawless. And stays on through sweat (hot outdoor wedding) and tears!! She has the best personality and makes you feel the absolute best about yourself. She even stayed after everyone was done to provide touch ups and to redo our gorgeous bride after her first look with her dad! I recommend Stephaine 100000 times over again! You will not be disappointed.
Stephanie was fantastic!! Not only was my makeup absolutely flawless, it lasted on myself, my mom, and the bridal party all day!! I made additional appointments leading up to the b...
ig day for a few facials and was amazed by the quality, knowledge, and relaxation provided. She knew how much to do depending on how far the wedding was away and I fully plan to keep heading back!
When I was looking for a more specific lip color, she was able to mix two during my trial then even got one close to what we decided upon for the big day which was even better! I couldn’t have been more pleased by the experience. She was honestly perfect!
WANT TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE YOUR BEST SELF? Then book Stephanie now!! Stephanie did makeup for me (Bride), 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and my husband's mom. Stephanie is incredibly talen...
ted and works her magic on any and all skin types/colors. I got my make-up done at 12:00 noon and by the last call at 11:00 pm my make-up still looked absolutely flawless. I ended up falling asleep with my make-up on that night and woke up with it STILL looking perfect! It endured multiple ugly cry tears and you would never have known! Stephanie takes her time to ensure she produces quality work on all of her clients. Stephanie comes extremely prepared with multiple airbrush guns just in case anything were to happen. On our wedding day, she arrived at our venue earlier than our scheduled time and was ready to get started right away. Stephanie is a very genuine person and had my best interest at heart both during the trial and wedding day. I had a "bride moment" during our trial and Stephanie hugged and comforted me like a friend. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and creates such a calming and positive environment. I will use Stephanie anytime I need my make-up done professionally. If you want to make certain that you have the best make-up you have ever had in your life then you want to book Stephanie now! Radiant. Flawless. Glowing. Beautiful.

The only issue was that she doesn’t have an assistant so she couldn’t do my whole wedding party by the time we needed to be ready and we had to hire another group to come do three of the bridesmaids. Overall, VERY happy with Stephanie and her work! She is incredibly talented and fun to work with.

That took a lot of stress off of me, knowing all my bridesmaids were taken care of! She’s truly amazing!

During the day my husbands sister was upset because her makeup person cancelled on her and she was in tears.

Now I just want to have another excuse to get my makeup done so I can hang out with her again! : )
