WOW!! Emily is absolutely AMAZING!!! She is so sweet and totally captured the look I was going for! I would definitely recommend doing a trial with her so you can see exactly what kind of makeup you want done. I have nothing but positive things...

Emily was wonderful. My makeup looked flawless! I wanted simple and elegant. My wedding pictures looked beautiful. My mom’s makeup and my mother in-law’s makeup looked beautiful. Neither of them wear very much makeup and they were both nervous ...
that they were going to look like they had “too much”. Not everyone can give you the “no makeup makeup look” and still have you come out looking amazing. Emily is professional, kind and great at her craft! It’s art.

Emily did my makeup for my cousin’s wedding last month and I absolutely LOVED it, in fact everyone in the bridal party was so happy with their looks! Not only was the makeup application gorgeous, (I chose to go with airbrush foundation) it also...
lasted ALLLL DAY and into the night. Emily was quick and completed my application in 30 minutes! Talk about efficiency! I also loved that she waited till the very end before she left to do everyone's lips so they’re nice and fresh for photos. During the getting ready process you tend to eat and drink a lot so having her do this at the end was perfect. Also, if any touch-ups were needed she made sure to do those at the end too! I can’t say enough good things about Emily, she gave me the exact look I wanted and was so easy to talk to during the process. She made our experience a memorable one and I would highly recommend her to any bride/person looking for a MUA. I already inquired with her on some upcoming events this holiday season and can’t wait to get glammed by her again!!

I needed no touch ups which was awesome since we were crunched for time for pictures and reception . I felt like the prettiest girl in the world. She was so easy to work with and willing to make changes from my original look at the trial she did. I literally showed her a completely different look the day of and she nailed it. I love her work and her. She is a true professional and again a MUST have for any wedding.

What can I say? I have been getting my makeup done since I was 16. I've used everyone from the mall makeup artists to celebrity make up artists for my special events. I came across Emily's instagram and I feel in love. When I first reached out ...
to her I was already excited on how responsive she was. We then did a trial for an upcoming wedding that I was a maid of honor for. She made me look so pretty. It was not cakey, it was flawless. It was a natural beauty with the perfect smokey eye. She walked me through everything she was applying and what for. She really pays attention to detail and gives awesome suggestions. The most important thing about anyones wedding day is the make up and hair. If your make up is great then your pictures will be even better. Emily ended up doing my entire family's make up that day & we used her again for my sister's graduation/prom. We even booked her for MY wedding next year in Newport. So happy we found Emily. Everyone has been asking for her information because my pictures were flawless. Thank you Emily!
