I had the honor and pleasure of having Debra do my wedding makeup for me and my bridesmaids. She was very professional, listened to my concerns in order to bring my vision to life,...
and made me feel like the most beautiful woman on my wedding day. I highly recommend her!
I had an amazing experience with Debra as my wedding makeup artist! I don't wear much makeup in my daily life, so it was important that I still felt like myself on my wedding day. ...
Debra created the perfect soft glam look, and I actually forgot I was wearing a full face of makeup because it felt so natural.
My trial was incredibly helpful in bringing my vision to life. Afterward, Debra and Kate followed up to discuss what I loved and any small tweaks I wanted to make, so I felt completely confident going into the wedding day.
On the morning of the wedding, Debra brought such a calm, relaxed energy that made getting ready even more enjoyable. My bridesmaids and mom were also thrilled with their makeup. Her assistant, Kate, was equally wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. She created a detailed day-of schedule with plenty of buffer time, was flexible in adjusting the makeup order as needed, and made sure the morning ran smoothly and without stress. She also shared thoughtful recommendations, from lip products to spray tan advice, and was always quick to answer any questions I had, making sure I felt fully prepared.
Most importantly, my makeup looked flawless from start to finish. It held up through an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and hours of nonstop dancing without needing touch-ups. I'm so grateful I found Debra and Kate, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any bride looking for a talented and professional makeup team. Thank you both so much!
I had the absolute best experience with Debra. She was so kind, so calming and genuinely such a grounding presence on my wedding day. Everyone loved her. On top of that, she’s incr...
edibly talented. My makeup was everything I hoped for: soft, flawless, long-lasting and still totally me. She listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions and made the whole getting-ready process feel peaceful and fun. I couldn’t have asked for a better artist or a better energy to have with me that morning. I’m so grateful and would recommend her to any bride without hesitation. Thank you, Debra!!! 💖
Debra was the absolute BEST! She came highly recommended and as soon as we did our trial, I knew she was the best person to work her magic on my wedding day.
Aside from the fact ...
that she’s just a lovely person, she did such a fantastic job. I never felt as beautiful as I did after she finished my makeup, and it stayed all night long without being/feeling “caked on”. She did the makeup for myself, my MOH, MOB, MOG, SIL, and flower girl. All of us requested a natural look without a “heavy” makeup feeling.
We also decided to keep her for a few hours longer leading up to the ceremony for any necessary touch ups (we are criers!) We could have easily made it to the ceremony without any additional touch ups because she did such an incredible job, but having her just in case was reassuring.
I would use her for anything (wedding, headshots, a night out)….she was wonderful!
Debra did such an amazing job on me, my bridesmaids and our moms for our wedding day! Debra is so talented and will make you look your absolute best. Everyone's skin looked flawles...
s and everyone still looked like themselves just enhanced. You won't regret booking Debra for your big day!
Debra is incredibly professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. The studio I went to for our appointment was very cozy and clean as well with free parking outside. The products she us...
ed were high quality and didn’t irritate my already sensitive skin.
For my appointment, I didn’t really have the “perfect” inspiration picture for what I was looking for, so Debra made a few suggestions and recommendations. Together we came up with a look that she flawlessly executed. I am so happy I picked her for my big day!
