Cheekadee Makeup Artists

My makeup trial with Nina was wonderful - and then she absolutely exceed any expectations I had on the day of the wedding. I watched Nina and Kim bring out all of the most beautiful features in my bridesmaids - they looked flawless. My mom and mother-in-law raved that Nina made them look 10 years younger! My makeup was everything I could have dreamt of and more - she made me feel beautiful. I have fairly severe keratosis pilaris on my face, which I am very self-conscious about. However, Nina made it disappear with air brushing and contouring - and I didn't see it appear again in one photograph all night. I am convinced that she is a makeup magician. Not only is she wildly talented, but she is kind and patient, and served as a source of calm energy when things around us seemed chaotic! One of my bridesmaids is engaged, and booked Nina immediately after witnessing her work first-hand. I could not recommend Nina and the Cheekadee team highly enough!!

wanted, enhancing my features and giving me a natural/nude look for the wedding. She made everyone in my party feel comfortable with their looks and myself confident and ready for my big day. She was early at arriving to the hotel (which worked our perfectly for us!), stayed on schedule/a little early, and was able to work with a variety of faces for myself, two bridesmaids, and two moms. An added bonus is that she worked with my and my make-up style to make sure my look would be good with my glasses! I highly recommend Cheekadee to hire for weddings! Not only was Hailey great to work with, Jo and Nina were also a pleasure to communicate with in terms of assisting with scheduling and our make-up timeline. Thank you Cheekadee!

e to their “hooded eyes”. We asked that they not upsell additional services like airbrushing and eyelashes to our guests on the day of, which they agreed to— only to then individually offer these services without being clear about the added price. It was very unprofessional and frankly not worth the money. The only real positive was that Meghan (hair artist) seemed to be good, even helping out with a few items when there was down time! Thanks for the help Meghan!

was looking for- and she delivered. She did the makeup for 6 of us on my wedding day (moms, sisters, MOH, and myself) and everyone looked gorgeous, flawless, and like themselves in the best way possible. Thank you, Nina!

she picked up on what I wanted immediately and patiently worked with me to fine-tune everything. I absolutely loved the way my makeup look, and her easygoing attitude made me all the more comfortable on what can be a pretty crazy day. Thank you, Nina & Cheekadee!

super willing and flexible to make the trial work with my limited windows of availability. On the day of we had Nina for Makeup and Megan for hair. They were both amazing and super fun to work with. All of the ladies were so happy with their hair and makeup - including myself. They helped me look exactly how I was hoping to look on my wedding day. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

hat I wanted. We all got the traditional makeup and it held all day, despite taking some photos outside in a little rain. Thanks Nina!

if I needed anything further. The night before she sent me a text to check in and I totally appreciated that. The day of my wedding she showed up early and had a huge detailed note of everything from the trial. Wedding day I wanted a few changes from the initial trial and she did exactly what I asked for. There isn't one thing I would change about how the makeup went ! I would absolutely recommend Nina and the cheekadee team to anyone and would use her again a thousand times. THANKS FOR MAKING MY WEDDING DAY AMAZING!

up being ahead of schedule and everyone loved how their makeup looked! It is so nice that the makeup artists come to wherever you are and they really make up feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend Cheekadee to anyone!

he did such an amazing job! Everyone looked so beautiful! I absolutely loved my makeup and it held up all night long! I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night. Thank you Aja and Cheekadee!

rying (it was the best but also such an emotional day) and same for all my bridesmaids. She and her assistant worked super quickly to get us done as soon as possible and coordinated with our hair person to make sure things kept moving, sometimes pausing and returning to girls or fixing eyelashes or something like that. Nina was also super flexible when my mother flip-flopped on whether she wanted her makeup done and squeezed her in at the last minute, no problem, which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend!

ks so caked on and you look like a different person. Nina is so sweet and so knowledgeable at what she does, that I would trust her just walking in, having her look at my face, and just letting her do her thing! I would 100% recommend working with Nina for you wedding or even an upcoming an event! She’ll make you look beautiful! You’ll love her also!

e still making sure to take their time. Everyone looked beautiful! I absolutely LOVED how Nina did my makeup! The eyelash extensions made my eyes pop and the light airbrush foundation made my skin flawless. Everything lasted all day and night! Nina is very talented and would highly recommend.

t so smoothly and I felt like a Barbie!!! Thank you so much Nina my girls and I felt flawless and wish we could do it all over again!!

fect on our wedding day and all night long. All of my bridesmaids looked so beautiful. They all continue to rave about Nina and her work. I've only hear wonderful reviews about the other artists at Cheekadee. I highly recommend Cheekadee for your wedding!

many questions in no time. Nina is amazing to work with and beyond talented! I was thrilled with my wedding makeup and she did a flawless job on my mom, stepmom, and the rest of my wedding party. She works closely with you from the makeup trial to the wedding (and in between!) to make sure you achieve the perfect look you want. I cannot recommend Cheekadee enough!!!

i couldn’t be happier!

y makeup held up so well throughout the entire night. I LOVE to dance and it gets a little sweaty out there - but my photos still looked perfect all the way until the end of the night! Cheekadee is super responsive via email and lovely to work with!

my trial and came up with the perfect look for me. She did my sisters and mothers makeup as well and they were equally ecstatic about their wedding day make up. I would highly recommend Hailey!!

l party. I couldn't have asked for a better experience - just perfect!! She made me feel like a princess! :D

al and glowing in our own special way. I received so many compliments on my make up that night and could not have imagined having my make up done by any other place. Nina was so sweet and calm, even towards the end when we felt like we were low on time. I have already been recommending her to many of my engaged friends! Thanks Nina, we loved you!

na was our makeup artist and she was beyond kind and accommodating. She did an amazing job with my bridesmaids, Mom, and myself. Everyone loved their makeup – even the girls who never wear makeup. I was especially appreciative of the time Nina took to listen to my concerns with my rosacea and redness on my chest and arms. She worked some magic and made it so I didn’t even have to think about it at all. I felt so beautiful and the makeup lasted through the heat of the day and dancing at night. I cannot thank Cheekadee and Nina enough! I highly recommend Cheekadee and especially Nina.

adee, they have been responsive and professional! Jo, their event coordinator was so great at answering any questions that I had and helping me with some last minute adjustments. Nina is so talented! She really knows what will look good on camera, but also listens to what you want. I can be super picky when it comes to makeup and she was so wonderful making sure it was exactly what I wanted! It was perfect! Thanks again, girls!! Book them now!!

ith false eyelashes etc. But we tried a few ideas out to see what worked best. But having taken Nina's advice overall, I felt my make-up suited me perfectly. And, after a 7 am application for an 11:30 wedding but a 5 o'clock reception, I didn't even need a touch up. .Nina was on time, calm and efficient. Highly recommend. And the Bride looked gorgeous! As well as the wedding party.

exactly what I wanted, she also ran everything by me before putting it on my face. I was so happy with the outcome and impressed with her ability to quickly change our initial plans. I have to also comment on her professionalism, friendliness, and flexibility. My particular venue did not allow me on site until a certain time, and it would have cut deeply into my photographer's timeline. To help me make sure I got ready in time for my photographer, she let me get ready at the studio (which is very close to my venue). For the first hour, I just used the space to do my hair. She let me plop all of my stuff on the counter and use her space as if it were my home (PS, the studio is very comfy and cozy). I had no idea at the time that my good friends were planning on crashing my "getting ready" session, but out of nowhere a group of my very loud and excited friends showed up with trays of food and wine. I felt so bad, but Nina welcomed them in and did not let it distract her one bit. I'm not saying I recommend you invite all of your girlfriends to the studio for your trial or day of, but I tell the story because it's just another way that Nina showed what a very sweet, patient, flexible, and professional person she is. I'll also note that I am Chinese, and had a hard time finding makeup artists that had a reputation for working with Asian clients, as we have particular needs when it comes to eye makeup. Again, I could not be happier with the results.

Hotel Monaco. Everyone looked gorgeous -- radiant, and natural -- and was thrilled with how their makeup turned out. Nina was also such a pleasure to be around throughout the day. She was a calming influence on a day of total craziness! I am so glad that I hired Cheekadee, and I know I'm going to try to find every excuse possible to have Nina do my makeup again in the future. Thank you Nina and Cheekadee!!

any brides in the area.

e with my bridal look. Thank you Cheekadee!

makeup and with my friends'. She really listened to what everyone wanted & made them look perfect. Some girls wanted the more natural look & others wanted a bit more dramatic look & she nailed them both. HIGHLY recommend!

ything stayed in place and I felt like Grace Kelly :). Thank you, Nina!

and felt like flawless beauties - and not only did it look great, the makeup stayed on from about 10am - midnight on a hot (80+ degree day). They are also all beyond lovely people and I will be using them again every occasion i can!

my trial! From then on, I had no stress or worries about how my wedding day makeup would look because I already knew I'd love it - and all brides out there know how important that is when you're planning a wedding! Less stress is best! Nina and Katie showed up on time (if not earlier) on my wedding day, stayed on schedule, and completed myself + 8 bridesmaids + 2 mothers in a timely manner! On top of all that, both Nina and Katie were so sweet, personable, fun, passionate, and most importantly, incredibly talented! I have never felt more beautiful and all of my girls looked absolutely drop dead gorgeous! It is so important to not only feel beautiful on your wedding day, but to also look great in pictures - and Cheekadee does an amazing job of making both of those things happen! I can't reiterate it enough, Cheekadee is the best! I have been and will be recommending to everyone I know! Thank you to Nina & Katie for being such a crucial part of my wedding day, I couldn't have imagined it without your talent! I hope to be able to work with Cheekadee many more times in the future!

ch was the look we were going for. They are not cheap, but compared to other makeup artists of their caliber, they are a bargain.

came in the contact with Cheekadee it has been a wonderful experience. Kim helped me choose the right palette, carefully asking questions and showing me photos. On the actual day, my makeup was incredible. Just perfect. And her cool and calm presence was welcome into our high anxiety room filled with Mom's and Bridesmaids! She did my Mom, my Mother In Law, four bridesmaids, and myself. Each person's makeup was done in their "style" and everyone looked fabulous. I cannot recommend them enough!
