Dawn Phillips - Airbrush Makeup Artist

I can’t say enough good things about having Dawn as my makeup artist for my wedding day!! She came highly recommended by my coordinator and photographer, which made it so easy to reach out and book. I knew she was the best person for the job from the moment we started chatting. Her previous work was to die for, her pricing was fabulous, and she is simply the nicest human I have ever met. Throughout the trial and weeks leading up to the big day she was always available to answer my questions and give helpful suggestions. She was fun and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in my own skin, which is sometimes not easy. I absolutely loved my makeup the day of the wedding and working with Dawn. Would use her again for everything and highly highly recommend!!

Dawn is the best of the best! I used Dawn for my wedding for myself and 10 other ladies. She was timely, professional and has the best personality! Everyone felt absolutely beautiful and our makeup lasted all day long. From the first moment I sat in her chair at my trial I knew I had made the right decision. She is truly an artist!

There is no other option when it comes to hiring the best makeup artist and team. Dawn is phenomenal as a person and artist.

Dawn has an amazing gift, she helped my mom, my daughters and I feel our most beautiful. She is also an incredible human that you will truly enjoy spending your day with - this is one of the easiest decisions you will make, don't hesitate to give her a call!

Do not think twice about booking Dawn! Her services are amazing; she listens to what YOU want and like, and she delivers. She made me feel beautifully me on my wedding day! Not to mention, she is kind, professional, and fun to work with.

I LOVE DAWN. I am always so nervous to get my makeup done. She not only did an incredible job, but she encouraged me to be super honest about what I wanted, how I felt about certain looks, and anything I wanted to change. She was also sooo easy to talk to and she did an incredible job on my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law as well! I would highly recommend her for your big day or any day!

Dawn did mine and my bridal party's makeup for my wedding. Not only did she do a BEAUTIFUL job on everyone, but she made the morning getting ready vibe relaxed and fun. Not only is her talent a must for your big day, but her personality and confidence she gives you exceeds it all!

Dawn did my makeup on my wedding day and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful ❤️. She was so sweet to my mom and made her feel comfortable as well. I highly recommend her for any occasion!

Dawn and her team are simply the best! I had a large wedding party and everyone looked flawless. She was reliable, honest and so kind throughout the entire process and i couldn’t have been happier with her services!

Dawn truly has a gift! I have never met a more talented makeup artist in my entire life. My makeup trial with Dawn went flawlessly, and the day of my wedding she made me feel absolutely gorgeous. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is also personable and professional! Dawn is the best in the business!

Dawn is the most talented and personable makeup artist I've ever had do my makeup! I've been in a lot of weddings and have never felt completely satisfied so and I'm so glad that I booked her for my own because my makeup was gorgeous, exactly what I wanted and stayed on perfectly all day.

WOW. I cannot say enough good things about Dawn and her team. Not only is Dawn incredibly knowledgeable and professional, she is such a warm person who instantly makes you feel comfortable and listened to. Any time I wanted to make an adjustment, she nailed it perfectly and seamlessly but to be honest, very few things had to be adjusted because she is just THAT GOOD. Outside of my own makeup, I know everyone in my wedding party was very happy with their makeup as well. Dawn not only makes you feel beautiful on the outside - she has a calming and positive presence that makes you feel at ease and excited to enjoy your day. Cannot recommend her enough!!

Choosing Dawn as my make up artist was the easiest decision I made while wedding planning. My entire friend group has used Dawn so I’ve had the privilege of her doing my makeup multiple times. She brings the most positive energy to what can be a stressful morning and makes getting your makeup done fun. She encourages feedback and will not let anyone out of her chair until they feel 100% their best self. She gave me a touch up kit and even showed one of my bridesmaids how to fix my fake lashes if they happened to come off (which they didn’t). She truly goes above and beyond for all of her brides!

I can not say enough about Dawn and her talented team! Seeing previous work of Dawn’s and just her reputation alone, I actually booked Dawn before I had a true wedding date! We had a date in mind and Dawn being available was a factor on what my wedding date was going to be! Her energy is enjoyable and much needed on anyone’s wedding day! I can tell you my makeup made it through all the emotions and many many tears and I woke up the next morning still feeling runway ready! If you are able to book her… it’s one of the best choices for your wedding day made!

Dawn and her team are beyond amazing. You are immediately so comfortable with her and know that she will take your vision and make it magical for your event, wedding, etc. I'm so thankful she could make her already full schedule available to me for our wedding day. There is a reason she is considered The Best!

Dawn was the perfect makeup gal for me as I love all things makeup. She made me feel like a queen from the trial to day of. All of my bridal party also looked so pretty. Highly recommend:)

Dawn is amazing! I love that she was able to accommodate so many different people’s taste in our wedding party… from natural to full coverage and glam. She even found the perfect amount of fake lash to please my very particular mother. She was able to add a second artist pretty late in the game, which was awesome. She was timely, and fun to be around, which made getting ready that much more fun. Would definitely recommend for any bride!

I hired Dawn as the makeup artist for my wedding in October of 2021 and it was one of the best vendor decisions I made! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her wonderful makeup skills. She listened to my feedback after our trial and my makeup looked even better than I envisioned. Not only was the makeup amazing, but Dawn is such a sweet person and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I HIGHLY recommend her makeup services for your big day!

Dawn was awesome!! She was professional, fun and very talented. She listened to what I, my bridal party and the moms wanted and made everyone look amazing for my Wedding. I highly recommend booking with Dawn - she is GREAT!

Dawn is the absolute best!! She did makeup for a wedding I was in a couple years back and was one of the very first contracts I booked once my date was confirmed because I knew I needed her as part of my wedding day. Dawn is incredibly professional, but also so fun and so talented. She listens to what everyone wants and made everyone look amazing for my Wedding. You will not regret booking Dawn - she is AMAZING!

Dawn is the absolute greatest! I had been in a previous wedding that Dawn was the makeup artist and loved everything about the experience. She is a breath of fresh air on the big day, she is SO positive and keeps the energy up! My bridal party raved about her afterwards. I would and plan to recommend Dawn to every bride I know! She is INCREDIBLE!!

Dawn was already booked for our wedding weekend so she connected me with her partner Kim Jenkins! Kim was fabulous! She was so kind and patient with me throughout the entire process. She allowed me to have two makeup trials to make sure that I was 100% happy with my final look! Ellen Thomas also assisted the morning of my wedding and our makeup was stunning! Thank you all for making us feel so beautiful and for being such a joy to work with!

Professional? Yes! However, fun, outgoing and will make you feel special instead of having a floating dollar sign above your head as so many will make you feel. It's about being and looking your best, not someone else's idea of perfection, but she brings out the best YOU. When you leave with not just makeup and lashes that you'll wipe off later, but a lifted spirit, knowing YOU and WHAT YOU NEEDED/WANTED was priority you'll be glad in your decision.

Dawn is THE best!!!! My entire bridal party felt so beautiful. She really made the day perfect. And not only is she an amazing artist, she's a genuinely great human! Everyone loved her & she fit right in with our crew. It felt like an old friend working on us, not a paid stranger. We love her & will highly recommend to anyone needing services she offers. You won't be disappointed!

I can only say wow! Amazing in every way! Our bridal party and the brides makeup were just perfection and Dawn is so caring and professional. We adore her!!!

Dawn is absolutely amazing! She and her team are extremely talented and professional. Dawn did my makeup for my engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and on my wedding day along with a large bridal party. I never had to worry about my makeup because she exceeded all expectations for every event! Not to mention, she brings the party and we had the best time, she made the day so special!

I can not speak more highly of Dawn and Ellen Thomas. They made my bridesmaids, my mom and I feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. Ellen also KILLED my rehearsal dinner look the night before. Perhaps most importantly, however, were their kind words, energy and ability to make everyone comfortable, confident and relaxed. Dawn's services were affordable, her trial with me was so thorough and I will never use another artist in Louisville. She's now not a vendor but a friend (maybe even a fun Aunt, wink wink). RUN DONT WALK to book her for your special event.

Dawn brought my Hollywood glam to life! As someone with multiple skin allergies, Dawn made sure to go through each product with me in her collection to see what would work. This is something I really appreciated. She really went above and beyond to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day.

I used Dawn Phillips for my wedding makeup for myself and bridesmaids and man did she make us all feel beautiful! Not only during the process was she on time, kind, patient and very knowledgeable in her art, but she made the whole process for myself and my bridesmaids fun and an amazing time! Her end result was more than I could have ever dreamed up. I felt beyond beautiful on my wedding day and it’s because of dawn! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Exline wedding - When I found out I was getting married, I already knew who I wanted to do my make-up. She not only did a make-up trial twice, she listens to the bride and makes sure your day is perfect. I wanted a natural look with lashes - and she gave me just that. She leaves you feeling beautiful and as if you have gained a friend.

Oh Em Gee!!! Dawn and Ellen were the makeup artists for my Big Day for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom and did an absolutely amazing job!! My girls and I felt so beautiful and not only is Dawn and her team talented, but they are so sweet, down to earth, and hilarious to talk to! :) They made the morning of my wedding so fun and easy and our makeup was beyond stunning. I cannot recommend Dawn enough!!!! :)

Dawn and her team are amazing! They are professional, talented, easy to work with and fit right in with my bridal crew. Dawn created the exact eye look I wanted for the big day! All of the girls looked and felt gorgeous in their makeup! I can’t recommend Dawn and her team enough!

Dawn and her team were AMAZING!! She was professional but fun at the same time! I had 8 bridesmaids and all of our makeup turned out beautiful!! I couldn’t have been happier!

Dawn did my wedding makeup and it wasn’t okay.. it was FREAKING FABULOUS! Dawn and Kim kill it every time!!! And they’ve done my makeup at least 6 different occasions. They are a dream team and my first choice for a glam squad. They are so great at doing the best look for each person. Not to mention they know how to have fun while getting everyone looking their best. Those girls know how to bring the beauty!

Can I give someone 10 stars? If I could, I would! Dawn is amazing. Her personality shines through and made my wedding morning so much fun! She and her partner tackled myself, 2 moms, and 8 bridesmaids with ease. Everyone looked so put together and beautiful. The airbrush stayed all day with the exception of some creasing from sweat and tears (easily fixed with the makeup bag Dawn gave me!). Everyone looked natural and radiant. One of my bridesmaids even hired her for her wedding after seeing her work!

Dawn is simply the best! She is professional, fun, understanding and SO great at her job. She did my make-up for a wedding I was in and I loved it so much, she was the first wedding vendor I booked when I got engaged! She works with your style- whether it’s something more subtle or natural that you’re looking for or more dramatic… whatever you want - she can nail it and she will work with you to perfect it. I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding make-up and my bridesmaids loved her and her work, too. We all did airbrush! I couldn’t recommend her more for your wedding make-up needs!

Book with Dawn right this second!!!! She is incredibly talented, professional, and an absolute angel to be around! She went above and beyond for me when I had to switch artists last minute and she rocked it out without me even doing a trial! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life! Best decision I could have made!

Dawn is an amazing makeup artist and person! She made me and my bridal party look so gorgeous on my wedding day. She was so much fun to have at my house on the big day. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Dawn is the absolute BEST!! I had the pleasure of being glammed by her for a friends wedding where I was a bridesmaid and just fell in love with my makeup AND the great woman she is! I had to have her for my wedding and luckily was able to book her when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding into 2021. She is your ultimate hype woman and is so talented with her work that you will feel like a queen all day long! She was able to provide a perfectly natural but truly bridal glam look for my wedding day that highlighted all of my favorite aspects of my face. I promise she is absolute magic!! I would recommend her to anyone and am so thankful to have been able to be one of her clients!

Dawn is PHENOMENAL. Stop your search. This is your girl for your wedding day makeup. She is so down to earth, laid back, and talented. I honestly felt like she was my fairy godmother on my wedding day. My makeup lasted all day and night! I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Thanks for being the beautiful person you are...inside and out!!

Dawn is THE BEST! She spends lots of time with you at your trial to figure out what your style is. After my trial I kept second guessing my decisions, and Dawn was there for advice every step of the way. Dawn even brought me the perfect lip shade on my wedding day as a gift! In addition to myself she was able to cater to each of my bridesmaid's particular looks. She was able to do everything from simple makeup to bolder looks. I highly recommend Dawn for any makeup need!

Dawn is amazing. Her attention to detail is insane. As a bride I did a test but my bridesmaids didn't. To say they looked amazing is an understatement. They loved their make-up, they kept looking in the mirror and taking selfies saying, "I didn't know I could look this pretty." One of my bridesmaids sons said, "mommy you are so pretty." She set up quickly, had anything you could ever need, brought her own light, and music. Her presence lightened the mood in the room. We had all been up early and I was nervous, but watching her sing, dance, and glam everyone up put a huge smile on my face and calmed my nerves. Dawn took a room full of beautiful women both inside and out and made them feel like their best self. It takes a special person to make you feel that way. That's how you know Dawn is the real deal, she truly loves what she does and it shows. Later that night when the speeches began, and the ugly crying started our make-up still looked beautiful. I was so tired after the wedding I just crashed. Next day rocked that make -up to the 6 am flight for my honeymoon.

First off, having a wedding during a pandemic is stressful. I originally had my date set for the end of March...obviously we had to reschedule, I rescheduled 3 times in fact. Nonetheless, each time I picked a new date Dawn was flexible and so understanding. Come wedding day, Dawn made me feel and look the most beautiful I have ever felt. She is an amazing artist who takes pride in her work and it definitely shows. Not only is she a talented makeup artist, she is fun, laid back (while still professional), and is so easy to talk to, which definitely helps with wedding day jitters! She listens to what you like and don't like and works her magic. I would give her more stars if I could! I can not recommend her enough! Thank you Dawn!!

Dawn is the BEST in the business for wedding makeup! She made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and helped to calm any stress that I was experiencing while getting ready. She is more than just a person who does wedding makeup - she is an artist that has perfected her talent.

Prior to my wedding day, Dawn did my makeup for other weddings I was in as a Bridesmaid, and I was immediately hooked. She is a joy to work with and does such an amazing job! She listens to what each person likes and delivers to perfection. Thank you Dawn!
