and my makeup lasted all night without feeling heavy or caked on. I went with airbrushed makeup and loved it. I highly recommend Erica if you want beautiful makeup, plus she loves Jesus, which was so special to have another believer helping me on my wedding day.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Erica as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. She made me, and my family, feel beautiful, comfortable and confident. She is profe...
ssional and personable. I recommend doing a trial, because Erica quickly made the few minor adjustments I wanted. She is a pleasure to work with, and I'd highly recommend her as your MUA!
Erica was absolutely amazing to work with! Prior to the event she was responsive to any and all communication promptly. The day of she was was personable. She did an amazing job wi...
th my makeup and my bridesmaids. Everyone said how wonderful she was and how much they enjoyed her. She also gave me a cute personalized bag full of goodies a bride would need foe there wedding day. She also gave a similar bag to each bridesmaid. I can not praise Erica enough. This was one of my best decisions for my wedding!
Erica did a stunning job! She was so easy to work with. I switched some things up from my trial and she pivoted without any hesitation and did an absolutely beautiful job on not on...
ly me but also my bridal party. I'd recommend Erica to anyone!
Erica was amazing to chat with while getting your makeup done. She had such a relaxed and open vibe that you felt comfortable getting your makeup done (never had it done before and...
I was a bit nervous). The makeup on everyone looked amazing! She truly does focus on making sure she does it to your style and preferences. Whether full glam, natural glam, etc. I loved she asked about my freckles and how I typically do my makeup because I love my freckles and didn't want to just cover them up. I felt like I still looked like me which was very important to me overall. Very happy!
Erica was the absolute best makeup artist! Originally I was not going to use a makeup artist, I figured I would be able to do my own... then thinking that I should pamper myself, I...
found Erica. And boy am I glad that I decided to go with her!!! She made the day so much more special by catering to my makeup preferences, and she made me look gorgeous! Best part about it was that I literally had to do nothing! Best. Thing. Ever. For a day that is all about YOU! It's a no-brainer. Erica was kind and so personable but still so professional. Go to Erica for your makeup! She's the best!
Erica is an extremely skilled makeup artist who listened to every detail I wanted for my makeup look and brought my dream wedding makeup to life. I knew I wanted a more natural loo...
k for my wedding, and she did a wonderful job enhancing my features while still keeping it looking natural. All communication was excellent and professional, and booking a trial is online, so you can see all available appointments and pick the time that’s best for you.
Now, for the quality of the makeup. I did my trial before heading to my bachelorette trip, where I was in a hot tub and went swimming in a lake. My bridesmaids were shocked at how well the makeup held up despite the steam from the hot tub and even being submerged in the lake! I knew after my trial that my makeup would hold up all day on my wedding day, and as expected, it did! Erica does provide a touch-up tube of lip gloss and other supplies for touch-ups after tears and makeup removal on the day of, which came in handy.
6 our 5 stars: book Erica!
Erica was awesome to work with. I was a little nervous about my wedding makeup since I do not normally wear a lot of makeup daily. Erica completely crushed my makeup trial and my ...
wedding makeup. I wanted some glam for my wedding, but also wanted to look myself. Erica gave me a great natural and glam look. I loved the airbrush makeup as it was light and felt like I wasn’t even wearing makeup. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup. Also, everyone loved their look on the wedding day. It held up great throughout the night. Her touchup bag was so cute that she gave me to reapply later in the night. I absolutely loved working with Erica. She was kind, quick to respond, helped put a timeline together for the wedding day, and cares about her clients. I recommend Erica Colon for your wedding makeup needs.
Erica is the BEST! I felt so great on my wedding day and on a 90 degree July day the makeup looked perfect even by the end of the wedding. Myself, my mom and my bridesmaids can not...
say enough great things about her and her beautiful work. She is great at what she does, she is kind, and so easy to work with!
Erica was amazing! We did a trial before my wedding day and she graciously made all the little tweaks I requested. On the actual day she made me still feel like myself, just better...
! She was very responsive and helped coordinate and schedule all the makeup services for me and all the women in my wedding party. I love her natural, elevated style and would absolutely book her again for another event!
Erica was the absolute BEST makeup artist! I have been a part of other weddings, and my makeup has never lasted this perfect for the entire day before. Erica was super friendly and...
very comfortable to be around. I do not wear a lot of makeup to begin with, so I was hesitant on how much to wear for my wedding. Erica uses airbrushed foundation, and it was a game changer. I could not feel it on my face at all and it lasted the ENTIRE DAY! Even when I cried, it did not come off. I was also super impressed with the lipstick she uses - I kissed my husband probably 100 times on our wedding day. Not once did it rub off on him, or come off my lips. It was a great lip stain in a beautiful color. Best part - it was a drugstore brand. So after the wedding I went out and purchased more colors for myself! :D Each bridesmaid looked flawless and everyone got a cute care package. Erica's attention to detail really shows through her work and I highly recommend her to anyone!
Erica was wonderful for my wedding day makeup! We had 2 mothers and 2 bridesmaids makeup done as well, they were all thrilled with their final looks! My makeup staying on great thr...
oughout the day, and she even left us with little care packages to ensure we had what we needed for later that night! She was so attentive to details, took fun pictures, played good music and had good vibes all around! Would recommend!
Erica did my makeup for my wedding this November, and she was wonderful to work with. Booking to trial to the big day, Erica was professional and knowledgable! Clearly a gifted art...
ist and wiz with skincare recommendations (which my very dry skin was in need of). I left her chair with a soft glam, glowy look that I was in awe of! Not only did she make me feel beautiful, she shared her skills with 4 of my bridesmaids and grandmother (all of which were complimented all night). Some of them were hesitant, as all of us are not heavy makeup wearers, but Erica made everyone comfortable and confident. I cannot recommend her and her services enough! Thanks to Erica for helping my day run smoothly and providing her top-tier service!
Erica was very very kind, professional and an overall pleasure to work with!! Would definitely recommend!!

Working with Erica was a dream come true! From our trial on through to the wedding she was easy going, quick to respond and able to deliver on the vision I had in my head. I was a ...
bit worried because my experience with make up artists' throughout my engagement had been lack luster but Erica was the real deal! She brings so much calm with her wherever she goes, as well as a ton of skill! She adjusts easily to whatever you have going on and keeps you calm while making you look like a dream. I got a TON of compliments on how well my make up held up throughout the tears, and the time that passed throughout the day. There was even humidity but the pictures say it all - stunning! I felt just as beautiful as my Wedding Day came out and it's all because of how skilled and thoughtful Erica is in taking care of her clients. I could not recommend an artist more highly and intend to find more reasons to get my makeup done by Erica and her team!
Erica is so sweet and so talented. I got so many compliments on my make up & it lasted all day in the sweltering heat. She is also so professional and accommodating. What a gem. ...
Definitely hire her.
Erica is a flawless makeup artist! She did my wedding makeup this May, and she did a fabulous job! She is affordable, professional, efficient, and great at capturing exactly what y...
ou ask for. Erica was able to complete makeup for myself, my mom, and 4 bridesmaids in a short timeframe. She even included goodie bags for each girl, and my bag was personalized to include a full lipstick, tissues, and everything else I would need to keep my makeup looking great all night. If you are in need of a special event makeup artist, Erica is the person for you!

compliments on my makeup throughout the day and my face was still looking flawless by the end of the evening. Erica gave a little personalized "goody" bag with my name on it and it was so simple but so sweet and thoughtful and I absolutely loved it.

I do not wear a lot of makeup as it is, but Erica was able to make me feel/look myself, gave me a natural look, yet enhanced my features at the same time. I will 1000% be using Erica again in the future!

I was looking for and made all my ladies shine. On my wedding day we ended up adding one lady last minute and Erica was kind of enough to fix her up. Erica was professional, kind and very aware of the timeline! I highly suggest!

e in order to accommodate my travel plans.
On the day of the wedding, my bridal party had only great things to say, including how she made everyone feel special and commented positively on their natural features. My mother is very sporty and not that interested in makeup and she felt so comfortable and beautiful. Erica even provided small samples of the lip color for my girls to touch up their makeup.
Do yourself a favor and book with Erica!
Erica is fabulous! She was so good at responding timely to my messages. She did my makeup for my best friend’s wedding and I fell in love with my look. When it was my turn to get m...
arried, I knew I wanted Erica to do the makeup for my wedding. I wanted airbrush. I love how it feels like you aren’t even wearing makeup. She is very personable and professional. I had 7 bridesmaids and myself that needed makeup done. She was right on time and we were all finished by the time we needed to be. She helped us look extra beautiful for the wedding. I highly recommend her for any makeup needs!

I knew that I wanted to look natural yet glam for my wedding. Erica did just that. I had a trial run with Erica prior to the wedding in her beautiful studio! At the trial she was able to talk me through everything and explain the products she was using. We selected a style and colors that would go with the overall color scheme of the day.
Me, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law all got makeup on the wedding day. My bridesmaids, mom, groom's mom, and I loved using the airbrush makeup- it held up for the entire day. I was sad to take it all of at the end of the night because of how beautiful it looked! All of our makeup looked so good- natural beauty, yet amplified! I would highly recommend Erica for your event.
Erica was hands down AMAZING. I was able to show her an inspiration picture, and she was able craft it into a look that matched my skin tone. She was also able to work with many di...
fferent complexions. My sister suffers from cystic acne, and her makeup looked so natural and polished. I was a little nervous it wouldn’t stay seeing as we got married on the hottest day in May, but our makeup looked flawless all night. She also gave myself and my bridesmaid little “grab bags” for touch ups if needed which I thought was the sweetest touch! Will definitely be reaching out to her again should I ever need professional makeup done.

ever felt so beautiful in my entire life. She KILLED it!!!! My now husband was in awe when he saw me. It wasn’t too much, it was applied extremely well and still looked natural enough. Erica also was a last minute book, as my original makeup artist backed out last minute. She was available and was so accommodating. I seriously will recommend her for everything anyone asks for again. And I will use her for any future events I may need my makeup done at ❤️
Erica is very professional and personable. She built rapport with me and knew exactly what and wanted and able to deliver it. I would definitely use her.
