Erica Michele Makeup

, comforting energy to be around on my wedding day. Can’t thank her enough! 

p NJ" on Instagram, I discovered Erica, and I'm so happy I did! Looking through her photos, I saw beautiful women who still looked like themselves, just elevated. I loved the pinky and peachy looks she created, and even Erica's own makeup had that natural-but-beautiful aesthetic I was drawn to. Communication with Erica was a breeze from the beginning through to the wedding day. She was incredibly understanding when my bridal party numbers kept fluctuating. The makeup trial was such a fun experience! Erica was between studios and invited me to her adorable, cozy apartment. We chatted, I showed her pictures of my vision, and when I mentioned I didn't want heavy lashes, she tried individual lashes on me. We went with pinky shades that looked natural, and I loved it. Erica showed me the products she used, let me take pictures so I could buy my own lip products, and even helped me pick out lipstick shades for my mom. (Side note: I had never tried Charlotte Tilbury before meeting Erica, and now I'm obsessed!) When my wedding day arrived, I wanted to change a few things from my trial. Since my trial had been in winter/early spring and my wedding was in July, I wanted to warm up the makeup and go with a full lash. I know this could have thrown off a makeup artist who already had everything planned, but Erica was flexible and asked the right questions to make sure she got it exactly right. In the end, I loved my makeup look. It was exactly what I wanted—natural, a little bronzy, a little pinky, with glam but not heavy lashes. The makeup made me feel like a bride and beautiful, but also like me! It also stayed flawless all night long. My bridesmaids were all thrilled with their looks too! Beyond doing such a beautiful job with makeup, Erica is sweet, kind, and easy-going. Amidst the chaos in the bridal suite, she kept cool and calm, which was such a treat on what can be a hectic morning. If you want peachy, pinky, bronzy, or natural-girly makeup for your wedding and the sweetest, calmest woman to do your makeup on your wedding day, you have to choose Erica!

when it comes to glam and both of us felt so heard through the entire process. They were both so friendly and made us and all of our ladies look and feel beautiful. Only thing I will say is that my curls did fall fairly quickly (but others’ didn’t so may just be my hair type). Services were affordable/lower end of average and would definitely recommend to others!

th. She has truly perfected natural bridal glam. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

for a number of events over the years #2 No one has ever understood my eyebrows the way she does (lol) & #3 I trust her!!! No one is serving natural beauty/soft glam realness like Erica! On my wedding day I wanted to look & FEEL like myself - Erica helped me look like the most beautiful version of myself and I could not be more obsessed with the end result.  Brides keep in mind - on the day of your wedding you will have 1000 things to do & plenty of details to worry & stress over... Glam should be the most fun & enjoyable part of your wedding morning. This is the one thing you should NOT have to worry about. If you want to trust that you are in good hands with an experienced MUA, that is fun to be around, is able to handle clients quickly/efficiently, expertly works on all ages (from me, to my mom, to my grandma!), and is lovely to work with - Erica is your girl!

vered! She is so sweet and talented! She was such a delight to work with! I loved my makeup so much, I wanted a lot of coverage and she provided that without it feeling heavy or cakey. She really took her time and was able to create such natural and beautiful looks for everyone! I loved my custom lashes and it truly lasted for over 10 hours! I can’t say enough about how much I loved my makeup and how it lasted soo well throughout the whole night!

y listened to what I was looking for. As someone who has never really worn full glam and wanted to look special, but “like myself”, Erica really hit the nail on the head. She took into account everything I was looking for and created the most perfect look. She was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to the wedding and amazing on the wedding day. Erica did my makeup and other members of the bridal party, and she brought another artist to do the rest of the party who was as awesome as her. The day of, they were on time, moved quickly, and stuck to the planned schedule. As someone who loves schedules, it took away a lot of wedding morning pressure! Erica is also extremely kind and easy to talk to, which makes a big difference the morning of your wedding. I also booked Erica to stay for touchups and every time I needed a refresh she was already there with makeup in hand. Could not recommend Erica enough for your wedding day makeup!!!!

of tears! I'm so grateful Erica was able to stay for touchups! She was even able to last minute add makeup services for my aunt which was amazing. All of my girlfriends who got their makeup done looked absolutely stunning and they were all super impressed with Erica. If you are looking for someone to do your makeup, 100% recommend booking Erica!
