Erica and her team did my makeup for my wedding earlier this month.
From my trial I was so pleased with Erica. She is both professional and so much fun!
My bridal party put Erica up to the task. It was myself, 9 brides maids and 2 moms. Erica made everyone look like a goddess. Erica also did my sister/moh’s makeup who is a harsh makeup critic and she was so so happy with it. I can’t express how BEAUTIFUL my bridesmaids were.
In a loud/crowded room of crazy bridesmaids Erica made the day so so enjoyable. Everyone loved the makeup so much that my sister in law is also thinking about hiring Erica!
She was also super receptive to changes from my trial like a different lip color and more matte eyeshadow.
I don’t have enough good words to say about Erica!!!

Erica was absolutely amazing!! I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and it was all thanks to Erica. She was truly the best. My makeup even lasted through a bunch 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!

There aren’t enough words to describe how Erica made me and the rest of my family feel on my wedding day! Since the start with our emails back and forth she has been nothing short of incredible, patient and reliable. She understood what needed to be done and she executed it beautifully! It is obvious that she prides herself in the work that she does. My sisters and my mom came out so beautiful and they felt it too! It was a dream come true. Erica was so patient and caring while doing their makeup! We really lucked out with her. I’m going to really spread her work with others because she deserves it! Thank you so much for everything!
Any questions?

Erica was amazing! My girls and I all felt so beautiful and I cannot thank Erica enough. She was so attentive and made sure we all got exactly what we were hoping for. She was also super professional, especially during our first trial and walked me through every step of what she was doing. My makeup lasted all night and I got so many compliments on it!!

Erica was PHENOMENAL. She was attentive during my original makeup trial and took photos with notes of all changes that we implemented for my wedding day makeup. I loved my final look- blushy soft natural glam. She is responsive, professional, sweet and extremely talented!

Erica and her associate, Alicia, were absolutely phenomenal for my wedding on 6/21. Not only were they extremely professional, but they made sure that all of my girls looked and felt beautiful. Between asking what level of coverage we wanted and what shades of eye shadow we preferred, they truly listened to our likes and dislikes and created the most beautiful look for each of us. We got SO many compliments on our make up from other vendors as well as guests and family. I can honestly say between the heat, humidity, and happy tears, my make up did. not. move. I kept feeling like I looked sweaty but each time I looked in a mirror, my make up still looked perfect. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and Erica played a HUGE part of that. I would 10/10 recommend Erica as a make up artist. She was amazing?m!

Erica was extremely timely and professional. I absolutely loved both of the looks she did on me! They were absolutely flawless. Everyone complimented how beautiful my make up came out and how I was glowing. It lasted all day long. First day was hot and humid after thunderstorms and the second day was fabulous warm summer weather.
Erica also did my mother’s makeup and my sisters. Each look was fantastic she did a wonderful job working with each different skin type. I would highly recommend using Erica and will absolutely be using her in the future! I truly cannot say enough positive things about my experience!

Erica was fantastic! She and a second artist, Alicia, worked with me and my bridesmaids on 5/12/24. During my makeup trial, she was attentive to my preferences and took the time to build a palette that I was happy and comfortable with. In the time between my trial and wedding, she was communicative via email when my schedule changed and when I asked for recommendations about several makeup products. On the wedding day, she showed up ahead up schedule and immediately began setting up -- she was professional, helpful, and timely. Each bridesmaid who had their makeup completed, with various different looks, absolutely loved it. Erica listened to each of my bridesmaid's preferences and checked in throughout the way to ensure they were happy with their makeup. When she did my makeup, she hyped me up, and was so genuinely excited for me -- it was so sweet!
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Erica to another bride in the area -- she is fantastic at her job, a true artist, and she is professional, efficient, and kind.

Erica is absolutely amazing. She pays attention to detail, is professional, comes prepared and in a great mood, and really makes you feel special whether you are the Bride or just a guest.
She is so kind and my makeup stayed ALL DAY without any touchups and I cried SO MUCH! Not a single complaint from anyone in my bridal party. Thank you to Erica, USE THIS ARTIST!

Erica was the absolute best!! She arrived on time and her makeup skills are amazing. I did not have a makeup trial and she made me look and feel the most beautiful I ever have. I am not usually one to wear makeup at all and she was able to achieve a natural glam look that enhanced my features and still had me look like me. And I have had issues with makeup in the past because I have hooded eyes, but that was no issue for Erica! She was able to use eyeliner and eye shadow in such a skilled way that it was still visible and beautiful. And I don't know how she did it, but my makeup stayed all night without any smudging even though I cried a few times with lots of tears on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and moms were also very impressed and loved the makeup that Erica did for them! I would 100% work with Erica again. If you are getting married soon, definitely check out Erica Michele Makeup :)
ps: my photos will not upload but i will try to add them later

Erica is the ultimate wedding makeup artist. She is professional, incredibly sweet, so accommodating, and willing to take feedback to make your dream wedding look come true! Her and her assistant brought everything they could have needed and more, and they had the best vibes. Everything went exactly perfectly, and I wish I could get married again just to hire Erica!!
12/14/2023 • Caitie S
Erica was amazing. She brought a sense of calm to what could have been a crazy morning and everyone looked amazing. I was absolutely obsessed with my make up that day because not only was it flawless but I looked like myself! It truly lasted my entire wedding night. I would recommend Erica to anyone!
12/14/2023 • Jackie C
Erica is very professional with communications, responsiveness, & punctuality. I was extremely happy and loved her technique and the products that’s she used.
12/14/2023 • Bridget B
Erica and her teammate were both amazing at my wedding! They got to the venue and had everything set up before we were even there. She was very helpful in scheduling, time management, and has great communication. My makeup was done so beautifully! Erica really took her time to make sure I loved my makeup, while guiding me with her expertise. I highly recommend her to anyone!
Thanks Erica ♥️

I'm so glad I chose Erica as my makeup artist. I spent hours searching Instagram for the perfect balance of natural glam that ensured I looked like me on my wedding day, but also showed that I was wearing makeup. Erica achieved just that and more - I knew from the trial that she was going to be perfect. She was so careful and communicative during the trial to make sure that I was comfortable with everything she was applying from color to texture, and my makeup literally lasted all day. On the actual wedding day, my makeup literally lasted all day and night, and it didn't even feel like I was wearing any makeup! She was also just so sweet and kind and a great energy to have around while getting ready. My skin looked flawless as did that of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law. I got so many compliments on my makeup and would highly recommend Erica for your big day or any other makeup needs!
11/07/2023 • Ashley R
Erica was absolutely amazing. I always dreamed of the most beautiful natural looking makeup and she made it all come true. She took the time to listen to what I want and made sure I liked everything from the foundation coverage to the amount of blush. Everything was absolutely perfect. Also one of my biggest concerns was making sure my makeup would stay all night even after dancing the night away. It definitely did! All my bridesmaids loved their makeup and my mother who barely wears makeup and only wanted something natural loved her makeup as well! Erica is the absolute best!
10/28/2023 • Caitlin F
Erica was absolutely incredible and would recommend to everyone to have her be apart of your wedding day. She was responsive via email and a dream to work with. She listened to everything I wanted for my make up on my wedding and executed flawlessly. I do not wear a lot of heavy make up and Erica made me feel like an elevated version of myself with stunning natural make up. She made me feel absolutely beautiful - along with the Mother of the Bride and my Bridesmaids. I could not recommend her enough !!!
10/26/2023 • Caleigh O
Erica did such an amazing job with my wedding makeup! She took the time during my trial to understand what I was looking for and did a great job creating a natural look. It down-poured on my wedding and despite the rain, my makeup held-up all day long. If you don't wear a lot of makeup, but are still looking for that natural glam look, Erica is a great choice! I've recommended her to family and friends. You will look stunning on your wedding day!
10/02/2023 • Kelsey S
Erica was absolutely incredible to work with! She was so professional and accommodating and truly made all of my bridesmaids and me feel so beautiful. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Erica is beyond amazing. My makeup looked beautiful and lasted ALL NIGHT, through tears and all! I cannot recommend her enough, I received compliments on my makeup all night!
8/31/2023 • Michelle R
Erica was the best makeup artist I could have asked for my wedding. Not only did she give me the perfect natural bridal look, she was sweet, professional and great to work with. I highly recommend her for your wedding day.
7/12/2023 • Georgi D
Erica was a dream to work with. I'm so happy I spent so long looking into make-up artists for my wedding, and eventually came across her work! My wedding was on one of the hottest days of the year, and the heat was no joke. We were all worried about how the heat would impact our makeup, but it held perfectly all day!
5/21/2023 • Melissa H
Erica is amazing! She made me (the bride) and my family look flawless and the makeup lasted perfectly all night long. Her makeup is so natural and still made us look and feel glam. Erica is also so nice, professional and has such a calm demeanor, which is what you need on your wedding day. Choosing Erica as the MUA for our wedding was the best. I would 100% recommend her and use her for any other event I have.
5/03/2023 • Jen M
Erica has doe me my makeup several times and each time I have absolutely LOVED it! She did my bridal shower makeup and my wedding makeup. She did exactly what o wanted!!

5/02/2023 • Courtney D
Erica is extremely sweet, professional, and talented. I worked with her for my wedding day and have never felt more beautiful in my life! Even my now husband commented specifically on my makeup on our wedding day saying my makeup artist did an incredible job! Erica really listens to what you want to make your vision come to life or gives amazing suggestions if you’re looking for ideas for your look because she is so creative. I cried during my entire ceremony yet my makeup somehow stayed flawlessly! I wish I could get my makeup done by her daily! I can’t say enough lovely things about her and 1000% highly recommend. Truly the best
5/02/2023 • Amber L
Cannot rave more about Erica!! She has done my makeup twice and every time I felt so incredibly beautiful. She takes her time and listens to exactly what you’ve asked. Cannot wait to work with her again on the big day!! 🫶🏼

Erica is the absolute best!! She has done my makeup as a bridesmaid and now will be doing my makeup for my upcoming wedding! She did my trial the day of my bridal shower and made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. Everything was flawless. AND I still looked like myself which was very important to me! I loved it so much I already have another event booked with her! So excited to work with her for my wedding!

Erica is hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding process. I have had makeup done before and I feel like I didn’t look like myself but she made me feel like myself and look beautiful. She is genuine and caring. She did me, most of bridesmaids, my mom and she even did family members make up. She was so easy to work with and communicated everything. I met her at a friends wedding and immediately knew I wanted her for mine. I also found Erica to be budget friendly and her and her team’s work and professionalism is unmatched. I even did my trial with her and attended my shower afterwards. She is a gem!

I have gotten my makeup done numerous times throughout my life and no one has come close to doing it as flawlessly as Erica does. I am beyond thrilled I selected Erica to do my makeup for my wedding. It lasted the entire day and I have never looked or felt more beautiful. She is a consummate professional and offers a variety of top-of-the-line products to cater to any personal preferences you may have. Beyond the makeup, she is the sweetest and kindest person, a true pleasure to work with and it’s obvious she cares about client satisfaction. You can’t go wrong booking with Erica. If I still lived in NJ, I would book her for every single occasion.

Erica did my makeup for my friends wedding, and I immediately knew I had to book her as my MUA for my own wedding! She was extremely professional and helpful during the planning process. Erica has such an easy going personality, and it was just what we needed during the morning while getting ready. I can't begin to explain how beautiful she made me on my big day. My makeup lasted over 17 hours and looked just as good at the after party as when she finished it. I recommend her to all my friends and coworkers. She deserves more than 5 stars!
2/10/2023 • Joanne D
Erica is part of the reason why my wedding day was such a perfect day! She did a beautiful job doing my makeup as well as my bridesmaids, mom & mother-in-law. This part of the day was completely stress free! I highly recommend hiring her for your special day! She is lovely to work with!
2/10/2023 • Karinna C
Erica did a beautiful job with my bridesmaid makeup! All natural glam look that stayed on all day/night highly recommend her for your next event/occasion!
2/10/2023 • Nicolette F
Erica is hands down the best, if she is available for your date BOOK HER. My wedding make up was FLAWLESS, everything I could have envisioned for the day and more. My face is usually very oily which was a major concern of mine but Erica worked her magic and my make up remained perfect throughout the entire day. Not only did my make up looked amazing, but Erica’s team did a fantastic job with my entire bridal party, every looked absolutely beautiful. Cannot recommend her enough!
2/09/2023 • Ali F
Erica was absolutely fantastic!! I cannot say enough about her- she is sweet, organized, reliable, and so very talented. A true artist! Erica took my opinion and vision to heart when completing my look- I was so pleased by how my makeup turned out in both photos and in person. Everyone was so complimentary!! She is a true master of her craft! Look no further and book!!
2/09/2023 • Nicole A
There is absolutely no one else I would ever think of booking for my make up besides Erica! She has perfected every look she’s done for me, especially for all my most special events! I will continue to use her for all my future occasions as well!
2/08/2023 • Heather F
I use Erica for all my events and my wedding. She is so precise and has a great eye for detail. I wanted to still look like myself just more done up with my natural features accentuated and the results were beyond perfect. Her trial was very detailed and she knew exactly what to do by me just describing what I was going for. She was very punctual and her kit was immaculate. My makeup did not fade away the entire day and night. Her team is also amazing and they all work so well together. I will always recommend her services to anyone getting married!
2/07/2023 • Lina J
EXTREMELY talented, welcoming, and trustworthy! I would recommend Erica Michele Makeup again and again. Thank you for being so wonderful!
2/07/2023 • Miriam M
I was blown away by her amazing talent! I had my wedding in 2021, Erica did a wonderful job. She provides a safe and comfortable space for her clients to express their preference when it comes to makeup. I explained the look that I was going for and she exceeded my expectations. Erica is very professional, personable, very punctual! My makeup remained intact all throughout the photoshoot, wedding, and after party. It lasted through all of tears and sweat. If i can give more stars, I would. If you want to glow on your wedding, she is the perfect makeup ARTIST.

Erica was absolutely amazing! She made all of my visions come to life and gave me such a natural stunning look! I received many compliments on my makeup and my pictures came out flawless! I highly recommend Erica and her team as they were professional, kind, and ahead of schedule!
2/07/2023 • Samantha K
I’m not the type who wears a ton of makeup so I wanted someone who could make me feel beautiful but also still feel like myself. My bridesmaids and I all agreed we have never felt more beautiful while not being over the top! Erica is not only an incredible makeup artist but she is also so sweet and so easy to communicate with. My mom is super sensitive and allergic to a lot of makeup products and Erica was more than happy to use my moms makeup but still make her look incredible. Erica makes planning and timelines so easy that getting ready went so smoothly on my wedding day!
2/07/2023 • Katrina S
If you are looking for a beautiful bath real glam, Erica is your girl! I am very particular about my makeup and wanted to make sure it looked awesome in pictures but didn’t look cakey in person. I wanted to make sure I truly looked like myself. Erica completely nailed my look and I couldn’t have been more obsessed! She has a quick response time, is beyond professional, and made me feel so at ease on my wedding day. I would choose Erica over and over again, she’s the best!
2/06/2023 • Theresa S

I’ve had Erica do my makeup countless times over the years and always recommend her to friends. She takes time to understand level of comfort for makeup and she has such a talent! I will always recommend her services
