Based in Middletown, CT, and available for travel, Emily for Makeup is a self-owned wedding makeup studio owned by Emily Palmieri. Emily is a complexion specialist with a focus on soft glam makeup, enhanced natural beauty makeup, and tattoo cover-up services.
Emily has 8 years of industry experience under her belt, working with celebrities on television programs & feature films, as well as many wonderful brides. Due to Emily’s extensive experience with high-end clientele in photoshoot, television & magazines, booking Emily for Makeup for your wedding services ensures lasting coverage, photo-enhancing makeup, & sweat-resistant products and techniques that stand the test of time (and dance). Emily has a passion for collaboration & emphasizes the importance of enhancing her clients’ best features while staying within the realm of comfort, allowing you to feel enhanced in your true self on your wedding day.
Being a complexion specialist, Emily has honed her practice in helping brides who suffer from skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, psoriasis, etc., as well as clients who have particularly unique skin tones that may be difficult for some artists to work with (olive tones, alabaster, deep, etc).
Since Emily for Makeup is a sole LLC, clients are always working directly with Emily herself. She does not have a signed team, which means you are not locked into a specific style, and you have a primary, direct line of contact for any skincare, scheduling, makeup, or other questions. Additionally, you are guaranteed to have Emily as your artist on your wedding day, just as you did during your trial. Booking Emily ensures a streamlined customer process, clear communication, and simplified schedule planning.
Outside of traditional bridal makeup services & tattoo coverup, Emily also offers makeup lessons for any brides who wish to be able to recreate their wedding looks for their engagement photoshoots, rehearsal dinner, bachelorette party, & everyday wear.

On one of the most important days of my life, I looked and felt exactly how I had always imagined. Emily helped create a particular vision for my makeup I had in mind as we worked ...
on many trials leading up to the day. She was patient, open to trying different styles, was open with communication in terms of expectations, flexible in her scheduling, and traveled to our wedding venue almost two hours away, on time, ready and prepared. She’s got great music recommendations and is very easy to talk to and get along with. Many people complimented her work to me, specifically saying “You look like yourself but elevated and stunning!” She was able to work with my specific sensitive skin care needs (combination dry and oily, acne-prone skin) which was a huge plus and need. I knew I needed a professional on a day where there was so much chaos, doing makeup was not something I could juggle myself. She has an intuitive sense of makeup where she can make you look amazing with little effort. She is exactly the makeup artist you need for all of these reasons mentioned. Highly recommend and could not say enough about her :) Thank you again, Emily, for helping make my day special!
