Erica T. Martell, Makeup Artist.

h was a fine line between polished natural and a little glam. I didn’t want to look bare faced but I also didn’t want to do full bridal glam (which gladly she doesn’t do) The day of the wedding she made all of my sisters and my mother look amazing. My sister is an esthetician and super picky with her makeup but I knew her and Erica hit it right off. My mother was incredibly happy with her look as well. She got us all ready on time and that’s no easy feat. My makeup lasted all night long: I cried, ate, sweated while dancing and it was still going strong. I got tons of compliments. Also I fell asleep with my makeup on and my lashes were still intact the next day. I actually left them on until 2 days later. She does the most undetectable, fluffy faux individual lashes ever. The true test was seeing my wedding photos: her work translated into photos perfectly.

ten notes and email check-ins leading up to the big day, to administering de-stressing eye-masks and massages the morning of the wedding just prior to my makeup application! I did a make-up trial with her where she answered all of my questions about makeup, skincare, about false lashes which are her specialty (I was a skeptic, never tried it before but trust me they look gorgeous and very natural, all of my bridesmaids and even my mom got them). She also helped talk me down from a ledge when I had a crazy breakout 3 days before the wedding, and emailed me so much helpful skincare and nutrition advice to help tone down the inflammation. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting the ladies who got her services (me, 2 maids, MOG, and MOB), and everyone's makeup held up all night into the wee hours! I 100% strongly suggest you book Erica for your special event, you will NOT be disappointed!

t a joy to work with. She nailed the look I was going for on the first try and my makeup looked better than any makeup I have ever had done before. It lasted throughout the entire day (from ceremony to after party!!). I have never had such a wonderful experience someone who was able to make me feel like I looked like myself - but the best version! My mother and entire bridal party all looked fantastic and each told me how much they loved their looks. Erica is incredibly talented and just given how different each member of my bridal party looks, I know she could achieve any style a bride requested. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!!

makeup and doesn't know the first thing about how to do my own makeup, I was instantly put at ease the moment I met Erica at my makeup trial. Immediately, it was clear that Erica is a real expert, and that she does her job with an unparalleled level of both care and skill. At my makeup trial, Erica understood exactly what my vision was even though I could barely articulate it. And on my wedding day, Erica really delivered – above and beyond what I expected! In short, she totally exceeded my expectations (and that was hard given how much I LOVED the makeup she did for my trial). She made me look and feel my personal best – so beautiful and glamorous, but also natural and true to myself. Never did I feel like I had on too much makeup or that I was wearing too little. It was just perfect; no other words can describe how I felt about the way she made me look. On another level, Erica is an amazing person to hire for any special event. She is a warm and comforting presence during a time that is often stressful. She is also incredibly thoughtful – she did little things that made my wedding day even better, like giving me a hand massage before applying makeup and packing me a care package for the night. As an side note, I booked Erica’s beck and call services too, which meant that on my wedding day, she stayed with me from my first look until I entered the reception with my new husband, and I am SO happy that I booked those extra services. Throughout the entire day and night, she made sure everything went smoothly and I was always looking my best. I could go on and on about how happy I am with Erica’s services - the five-star rating is honestly not even enough!

end about the process, I knew this would be an easy decision.  Erica was professional and responsive from the start. I never had to worry or stress when it came to my make up services. We stayed in touch the months leading up to the wedding, and she made herself available for any questions I might have when it came to the schedule or skincare routine.  My trial was stress-free and made me so excited for the day. Erica spent time talking to me about my vision and the vibe I was going for. She wanted to see pictures of my gown, flower inspo, color scheme, etc. We spent the time talking, laughing and trying things out. When we were done, she took a look at my make up in the different lighting and even asked me to take a picture at the end of the day. I have extremely sensitive skin and all the products she used were super gentle and I still felt great, and looked, great 10 hours later.  Then for the wedding day... Eric made me feel like a queen! She started with a hand massage and jade roller on my face and neck. It was the perfect moment to chill out before things got busy and I was grateful for that moment with her. I cried when I first saw my makeup. I think it was the moment that it all began to feel real, but also the fact that Erica really listened to what I wanted and I have never felt prettier in my life! My hair wasn't even done!! My bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law were all extremely happy with their services. They all wanted a natural, yet elevated look, and Erica nailed it. Everyone felt confident and comfortable! It is also worth mentioning that Erica has the most amazing network in the wedding industry - florists, photographers, hair stylists! She helped me through a very stressful situation and introduced me to a florist who was absolutely amazing! If you are still in need of these vendors, definitely ask for her recommendations.  If you are looking for a makeup artist in the Northeast (and still reading this), look no further. Erica is the best of the best! I am so grateful that this special event brought us together.

pictures. She was professional and extremely easy to work every step of the way. Her energy is so calming and she will make you look like the best version of yourself!

sn't expecting much. I had been a bridesmaid before, and I looked fine, but have never been thrilled with my final makeup look so I figured that was the case everywhere. And honestly I was afraid I wasn't going to know whether I was making the right choice. Working with Erica completely changed the game for me, because now I know there are VERY TALENTED artists out there, and she leads the pack. I realized I made the right choice right after my trial. My mother has never gotten professional makeup done for an event before so she came with me. We both had such an amazing day with Erica, she literally made us both feel so comfortable, listened to our fears and made us look so beautiful. My mom was in shock with her final look, thats how happy she was. And the best part was, the makeup lasted ALL DAY! I have never had that before. It didn't feel heavy on my face, nothing looked caked AT ALL and the lashes were the most comfortable ones I've ever gotten. I didn't want to take it off. Day of the wedding was even better. She makes you feel so relaxed on an otherwise stressful day. I love how she preps your skin and takes extra time on you to make sure you feel great. I really can't emphasis the calming effect she has. My bridesmaids all looked sooooo good (she did 4 of them). Family members were coming up to me all night saying how stunning the girls looked and it 100% is because they had their makeup done by Erica. And to top it all off, Erica is an extremely thoughtful and kind person to work with. Not only is she very responsive during the whole process (email, calls, DMs, etc), but her expertise also goes beyond the makeup. I experienced a death in the family the week before the wedding which really flipped us all sideways. She checked in a few times to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything, but what really struck me was when I arrived to my venue the day before the wedding, an AMAZING bouquet was waiting for me from her and my hair stylist!! The fact that they went out of their way, despite their insane schedules to think of me and my family during all of this was just so touching, I can't even explain it. If you found Erica and are debating using her, just do it!! I am so glad I met her and that she had such a big part of my special day!

On the day of, she arrived early and maintained her timeline without anyone feeling rushed or stressed during the process. And, importantly, everyone loved their makeup! We had a "first look" so my makeup needed to last over 12 hours with my reception ending at midnight, and it did. I honestly would book her again and again; I couldn't have been happier with how I looked or how I felt with Erica doing my makeup!!

y my bridesmaids ran a little behind, but Erica was able to get us caught up on our schedule and had everyone's makeup done by 12:30PM because she's AMAZING!! She took over an hour on my makeup and listened to my every request!!! Everyone LOVED their makeup, we all looked glamorous without being too overdone! The makeup application process itself was very relaxing for me, Erica took the time to even do a little massage on my hands, I mean how thoughtful and great is that? Another plus was that my makeup lasted the WHOLE day (and I tend to have an oily T-zone, my face did not look oily once during the entire day), our wedding didn't end until 1:00AM!! All of my bridesmaids and the moms loved their makeup as well, honestly there were only great things said about Erica and her beautiful work! Erica you are so sweet and so very talented, THANK YOU so much for making my day special, beautiful and for putting up with all the Ukrainians!! If anyone is ever looking for a makeup artist, I will ALWAYS recommend YOU!!

and makes you feel calm and taken care of. She was the perfect pick for my big day and I would recommend her to anyone!

a calm vibe to such a busy day. Thank you so much for making us so beautiful. Our makeup was truly long lasting and flawless, your an angel!

all feel very comfortable right from the start. We all felt and looked our absolute best. Another perk is that we did not need ANY touch-ups all night, even with the tears! I'm so lucky you were able to glam me up on my wedding day. It would not have been the same without you. I would recommend Erica to anyone looking for a makeup artist, wedding or not, if you want to look and feel your very best.

iately. At first, I didn’t know if I could fit her into my tight budget but after a day or 2 of looking at other artists no one came close. So, I emailed her back to say never mind, you’re the only makeup artist for me! She was amazing from the start. So easy to talk to and work with. I consulted her about recommendations for facial products to help with skin care before the wedding. She asked me what type of skin I have and my budget and gave me an in-depth list of products for various applications and advice on how to use them. I still use all the products she recommended and she also referred me to an AMAZING facialist in the area. Thanks to this my skin was the best it had been in a long time before we even setup a makeup trial, about 3 months before the wedding. Meeting her was amazing. She has a very Zen way about her which is awesome. She sits you down and really talks about what you want, your goals, and what you definitely do not want. And then she gets to work. I did my hair and makeup trial together at the Upstyle Studio in Manchester, CT. We listened to music and talked and the whole vibe was fun and relaxed. When we were done, she was asked me to be completely honest about what I loved and hated about the look and we worked together until we found a look that I loved. She was always available anytime I had a question leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding she came prepared and excited! She brings all her kits, her own makeup chair, and lighting; you really feel like a celebrity. She gives you hand massages and jade rolls your face and neck until your totally relaxed. She told me she was studying my trial photos and wanted to tweak what we did a little and I said whatever you want and honestly the final product came out better than I could imagine. I felt so beautiful. It was magical and all my girls LOVED her, too! The groom even got some work done and he was obsessed. Basically, I think you’re crazy if you go to anyone else for makeup for your wedding because Erica Martell is truly the best out there! I am so thankful to her for everything!

ily gave me Erica's name along with the highest recommendation. I live in a different state than where we were getting married and Erica made it so easy and convenient to communicate over phone and email. In our first phone call she gave me all sorts of wedding planning advice that went beyond makeup and skincare; I felt like I was chatting with a trusted friend from the beginning. The amazing service that Erica provides starts well before the wedding day. Erica helped me understand my skin and made exceptional recommendations months before the big day to get my skin to be the best possible canvas it could be for our wedding. My MoH also has extreme sensitivities and allergies; Erica worked with her via email prior to the day of to make sure she had products that worked and were safe; that level of dedication and compassion is unmatched in my experience. When the actually wedding day came it was so easy to relax and let Erica be the artist that she is; there was zero anxiety; I honestly did not think I could be that relaxed on my own wedding day but Erica's spirit and energy created that for me and it is priceless. The end result was flawless. I do not wear makeup in my daily life and it was important to me that I looked like the best possible version of myself, but most importantly I wanted to look like Me, like the person my husband had fallen in love with - and she Nailed it! And the most amazing part was that I didn't even feel like I was wearing makeup. Everything felt so light, fresh, and moisturizing - it felt more like I had just had a facial - I didn't have to think or worry about my face for the rest of the day (and night, I didn't wash my face until 3am and it was still perfection!). I am still in complete awe of Erica's talent and skill. I am so grateful that I had the chance to meet and work with this incredible person.

eally sure what I even wanted! Then I saw Erica’s work and was so impressed - when we initially started communicating she was so responsive and immediately put me at ease. The makeup looked amazing and I got tons of compliments! On our way wedding day, we got married on the bow of a boat, and then went to the reception by convertible. It rained all day leading up to the event, and then we got a break in the weather just as we were walking out. It also started to rain lightly in the convertible - the point of describing this is that NOTHING moved. I would not trust your big day (or any event, for that matter) with anyone else! She was a joy to get ready with, even with my crazy family and friends around. Thank you again Erica!

before engagement photos so that we could meet and tweak my look. On the day of, Erica was the bomb.com. She made everyone in the bridal party look like a better version of themselves. As the bride, I got the deluxe treatment and felt relaxed, refreshed, and beautiful. My make-up stayed put for 12 hours. She knows all the tricks. PLUS she is a cool person who brings a professional, low key, warm, friendly vibe to your big day.

was so easy to get a long with and has a truly calming presence. Erica really listened to my nonsensical visions of wanting to look like a rainbow fairy unicorn mario cart princess and executed that vision in a pretty flawless way! Then on the wedding day she crushed this look even harder, giving me beautiful iridescent eyeshadow and lashes for daaaaayyyyyyssss. The makeup held up for the ceremony and the reception and I really have never felt that beautiful in my life! Erica also did the makeup for our wedding party, all the ladies loved their looks and the male grooming and light makeup she did on some of the guys was outstanding, everyone looked flawless! I honestly could not recommend Erica enough, she is a star!

ct with her she assured me that she would keep me looking natural but truly the best version of myself. I felt so comfortable throughout my entire experience and she also was delicate while dealing with my highly sensitive skin. Erica really has a way of bringing out her clients best features. I can honestly say I never felt more confident than on the day of my wedding and a big part of that was due to Erica’s work. Thank you so much on behalf of myself, bridesmaids and mothers!

with a makeup artist. She advised me on what products to use leading up to the wedding to obtain the optimal "canvas". She also provided suggestions for different looks and lip colors to help create my look for the big day. Erica provided a unique, personalized experience which I am truly thankful for. I am SO happy that she was with me on my special day!

l of respect for the entire wedding team that makes her such a joy to work with. I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to makeup and products and have sensitive skin with a mind of it's own. Erica took so much time in the days leading up to my wedding recommending products for me to incorporate into my skincare routine and really got to know me so she could perform her best work for my big day. She spent time researching looks, evaluating photos and providing feedback to me on the images I was sending her way. She was very honest and straightforward with me and provided the guidance and expertise that I needed. On the day of my wedding, she was like one of the girls in the room getting ready with all of us. She was professional in her work but brought her warm spirit to my friends and family that day that made everyone feel at ease. Erica was flexible with a few curve balls that came up leading up to and on my wedding day and was always willing to dive in and find solutions. She even had extra false lashes that she applied to some of the girls who hadn't signed up for her services that day. She genuinely cared about the experience we were all having that day and rolled up her sleeves to make it the best ever. I realized the morning of my wedding that I was a little more pale than I had hoped I would be so she doctored up her famous body glow and applied to my whole upper body which gave me the exact hint of color and glow that I needed to complete the look. Erica was present and checked in with me up until I walked down the aisle, made me a lip kit, gave it to my sister with easy instruction and I didn't want her to leave! I would recommend Erica over and over again and encourage brides to really take the time to research the looks and take the advice and recommendations from her leading up to the day because she will over deliver and you will have nothing to stress about in this department that day.

ver peaked through the foundation she used. Leading up to the big day she gave me many recommendations on how to help my skin look it’s best, and my skin is still thanking her! She did an amazing job not only on myself, but also with my mom’s, and maid of honor’s looks as well. My mom was apprehensive having her makeup done as she has sensitive skin, but Erica helped with her concerns by telling us where my mom could get samples of the foundation she would be using so she could see how she would react to it ahead of time. My mom had such a great experience she has been raving about Erica since. Erica is a true professional, as well as a real sweetheart, my beautiful makeup will be remembered through photos, but I will never forget her calming presence on what could have been a stressful morning.

ple of years ago. It was the first time I can say that each and every bridesmaid looked amazing- like the best version of themselves. She makes everyone that she is working on feel special and truly cares about the work she is doing. She was also super helpful along the way with skin care tips and product recommendations. You can tell she really loves what she is doing and is so knowledgeable about her industry. She is such a talented professional and she ensured smoothly- even though I was a bundle of nerves! She even gave me a little "touch up" bag to make me feel my best all night! It was awesome getting to know her and I can’t wait to have more events so that I can use Erica to beautify me!

s in throughout every stage of the makeup process - making sure that her client's are happy with how they look. Erica is focused on making each individual feel their best and look their best, from the inside out. Erica's ability to listen to what client's are and are not comfortable with is key for wedding makeup. Lastly, Erica's energy was so, so calming during the day. She really is the best. I would recommend Erica to anyone, anywhere. I wish Erica could do my makeup everyday.

y wedding day. She was able to crate the EXACT look I wanted, while still exceeding all of my expectations. Her work is perfection. I would 100% recommend her to any future bride! Book her now! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Erica for making me look absolutely stunning on my wedding day!

t I felt most beautiful happy self inside and out on my wedding day and that's exactly what she did! She walked me through all of the products she was using and tailored the makeup based on my skin complexion, the vibe of my wedding, flowers, dress, hair and wedding color palette. I received so many compliments on my makeup and so did my bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law! Everyone had an amazing experience with her. Each person in my party loved how they looked. The makeup stayed on all night, even with my many happy tears from the day. Erica is who you want on your wedding day. She kept me calm and centered and I felt beautiful inside and out!!

question and concern that I had, made recommendations and designed a classy and flattering look that was better than I could have imagined and fit my personal style perfectly. She stayed in contact prior to the wedding and made recommendations on products and routines to make sure that my skin looked its best. She is so talented and not only was I happy with my look but my entire bridal party, mother, and mother of the groom were all extremely happy and looked beautiful!

d her instagram and something just felt so right about her. I'm so glad I went with my gut because the wedding makeup and entire experience for my bridesmaids and I was perfection. I loved the way everything turned out. She works with you and makes sure you are comfortable with everything she does. Her extra treatments (hand massage, jade roller) helped calm my crazy nerves. It also doesn't hurt that she is a professional, calm, funny and fantastic person to be around! You will have no regrets hiring Erica!

tens to what you want or if something is missing for your taste and a true professional. I felt so beautiful and that is a great feeling to have, especially on your wedding day. Her prices are fair, which I appreciate and she got us out on time which is everything!! I would chose her again that’s for sure.

ook absolutely beautiful but she will put you at ease on your wedding day and is so extremely helpful throughout the planning process. Love love her!

looking like myself on my wedding day. Erica addressed all my concerns and completely blew me away with her ability to transform my everyday look into a better version of MYSELF. I could not recommend anyone more highly, as she truly is the best in the business. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A QUEEN/FAIRY/GODDESS ON MY WEDDING DAY!!!

feel so comfortable and so much like myself. My bridesmaids – who usually don’t wear makeup – were also so happy with how they looked (and none of them washed it off asap, which is a first). Beyond making me look pretty, Erica made me feel so calm, confident and relaxed – her positive vibes are infectious! I’m so happy to support a kickass-female-run business and I can’t recommend Erica and her team more highly. Thank you, Erica!!!

interpret natural as being so "barely there" that I saw no difference from bare skin and finished looks. Its a challenging balance to strike, but Erica manages this technique perfectly and did so for every single person in my wedding party. She truly is an artist but perhaps even more significantly, she is knowledgeable, supportive, patient and methodical. The result is a calming, warm personality that instantly puts everyone around her at ease -- critical on a wedding morning when there's a lot of people and nerves running wild!. I knew the second we spoke on the phone that she was a true gem and that I'd love working with her. We went through all the same questions and details I'd asked of other makeup artists, but with Erica you can tell she has an intentional, specific approach to everything from her contract to trials to day-of timeline based on years of experience and a focus on doing what is best for her clients. I also loved that she talked me through her process for prepping each persons skin and assessing what their makeup needs are; there's no "one and done" approach to everyone with her. Yes, everyone will look cohesive but that doesn't mean identical - they won't look like she tried to force the same look on everyone, she will do what is best for their skin tone, texture, coloring and comfort level with makeup. At my trial she recommenced a skin care routine and some products that I now cannot live without. The last two weeks before a wedding are so hectic and in that run up she checked in unprompted to see if I had questions, verify headcount and logistical details without (she is meticulously organized) and issue friendly text-message reminders to stay hydrated. In short, with Erica you get so much more than a makeup artist. You'll have a talented beauty mentor that will make sure you and your nearest and dearest look and feel great, inside and out, and get you to your wedding day and down the aisle while minimizing your stress.

experience. Erica exceeded my expectations and provided so much more! When I first called Erica, I had already interviewed three other bridal makeup services, all of which were hair & makeup teams. I was instantly impressed with Erica's depth of knowledge; she clearly articulated her process as well as the pros and cons of different makeup products. For example, she explained how she would customize her foundation recommendation based on the individual client's skin, age, and other features in a much more detailed and nuanced fashion than I was able to find in a google search, or through my calls to other vendors. Although the idea of hiring separate hair and makeup professionals seemed a bit daunting at first, I quickly realized that Erica’s level of expertise, care, and attention to detail was something I wouldn’t find with a packaged hair and makeup “glam squad” -- especially considering that Erica would take the time to personalize her approach for each of my bridesmaids as well. This turned out to be particularly important -- two of my bridesmaids were very apprehensive about letting someone else do their makeup, fearing bad results or potential acne breakouts. One had even removed all of her makeup during a previous experience as a disgruntled bridesmaid. Erica was incredible with them! She calmly and clearly walked each bridesmaid through what she was doing and the products she was using; she started by asking about any skin sensitivities, how they normally wear their makeup, and involved them in the decision making process so that they knew they were in control. The results were amazing! My girls looked gorgeous (and so happy). My maid of honor, the most reluctant of the bridesmaids, later confided that she actually really enjoyed her experience with Erica. In summary, I couldn’t have been happier with Erica’s services! She is an incredibly talented and professional artist, goes above and beyond her job description, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I learned so much from working with her, and I still rely on her lipstick recommendations. Hands down, hire her. Your bridesmaids will thank you too!

and so beautiful on my wedding day! She was always available to answer any questions I had, and I was blown away by her talent when she did my makeup trial. On the day of my wedding, she made sure that I felt comfortable and that I liked the look. My makeup was absolute PERFECTION!! My bridesmaids even said it was the best wedding makeup they have ever had. If I could give Erica 10 stars I would, and I cannot thank her enough for making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day!!!!

d, feel good. I knew that if my makeup looked good on my wedding day, I would truly feel my best, both inside and out. From our first meeting, I knew right away that Erica was a professional and would help guide me through the wedding beauty process. Her personality and talent immediately put me at ease. At our trial (a few months before my wedding), Erica totally understood where I was coming from and provided such valuable feedback. I was going for a natural look with dewy, glowing skin, bold lashes and a soft pink lip. I wanted to look like myself, but still feel beautiful and elevated from my everyday look. I didn’t want heavy, matted, caked on makeup. Erica carefully listened to all of my asks and provided great feedback as we talked through some inspiration photos for achieving my beauty look. I truly felt that while she guided me during the whole process, she was super receptive to my feedback and we worked together to create the best makeup look for me. Regarding her execution at the trial, Erica was absolutely amazing. She delivered on everything that I had wanted and more. I was so happy (and relieved!) coming out of my trial to have found someone as talented as her, and still wonderful to work with. Leading up to my big day, Erica was a tremendous asset by recommending her favorite products and answering any and all questions that I had about my beauty look and routine. She had the best tips and tricks for getting my skin absolutely glowing in preparation for the wedding day. She was (and always will be!) my go-to-person for anything beauty related. From skin care to lip care, her knowledge of the industry was extremely beneficial. Especially when I tend to get very overwhelmed by the beauty space, Erica was able to provide valuable recommendations and connect me to the best products. Regarding the day of my wedding, Erica was an absolute dream to work with. I truly felt so beautiful and couldn't have been any happier with how my makeup turned out (and lasted through the night!). And even with the nerves of the morning while getting ready, Erica made me feel calm and confident. I was also so impressed with how my bridal party’s makeup turned out, especially on my mother and mother-in-law. I’ve never seen my mom look so beautiful (and so happy). No matter the age, Erica knows how to best highlight your features, allowing you to show off the best version of yourself. I was so lucky to be surrounded by such a beautiful and wonderful group of women that day, Erica included. Erica is professional, talented, responsive, patient and extremely supportive. She was so lovely to work with through the entire wedding beauty process and exceeded my expectations. I am so appreciative of all her work that went into shaping my perfect day and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a best-in-class makeup artist.

us all as beautiful as we could have ever imagined. I'm so grateful to have worked with her and wouldn't change it for anything! Thank you so much, Erica!

/feel like. The day of my wedding, she was prompt, professional, and did a phenomenal job on my makeup. Everything held up through humidity and brief sprinkles of rain. I'm so glad I found her!

I found her!

stic and natural style was exactly why I was looking for. She came to my house to do my trial the week of my wedding which might set some brides into a frenzy but Erica was absolutely amazing. She was reassuring and attentive to what I wanted and the final product was better than I ever could have imagined. She is an absolute gift to brides!

he was both patient and thorough with my bridesmaids and me. My bridal party included those who wear little to no makeup and those who aren’t afraid to get dolled up. She was able to achieve the looks each of us were going for that day. Everyone looked stunning! I could tell Erica truly cared and wanted me to be happy with the outcome. Mission accomplished! I felt beautiful; I loved my makeup and it held up nicely. If you’re looking for a super talented makeup artist for you special day, Erica is your girl! I would definitely recommend her to any bride/bridal party and hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.

very looks amazing and she truly know how to make people look both natural and gorgeous. I can't say enough great things about Erica!

esmaids were so happy and excited about the way their makeup looked! Our pictures turned out amazingly well, and it's due in such a large part to Erica! I would (and have) recommend Erica to ALL my friends and family getting married!!!

time. She enhances your features so you feel and look like yourself, but prettier! Erica did the makeup for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. She has also done a few of my friends' weddings and I have also recommended her to others! Erica was the first vendor I booked aside from my venue. She is great to work with, and also has lots of knowledge and recommendations for someone planning a wedding in the CT area.

features, listens, and just brings out everyone's inner "glow"! Her makeup is romantic, developing gorgeous eyes and for me a fabulous lip!! I want her to do my makeup for every single event in my life! Cheers to Erica! You cannot go wrong choosing her to make your wedding day perfect!

k amazing, you can count on her to take all stress off your plate when it comes to the big day. She proved to do this with ease. You can trust her when she says that you don't have to worry about a thing and that she will handle it all. She did just that and more. Phenomenal work and beautiful women inside and out. So glad I was introduced to Erica and thankful that she went way out of her way to change her plans, to travel 3 hours for my special day. If your considering a makeup artist for your wedding, you absolutely will not be let down with choosing Erica to take care of all your makeup artist needs.

when to make helpful recommendations, and the outcome is just an even better version of your vision. She's flawless! Also, my ceremony started at 11am and then my reception wasn't until the evening, and the makeup lasted and looked flawless the whole time. I maybe reapplied my lipstick once. Highly recommend!

r, sister and two good friends all looked fantastic with very different styles. I would definitely choose her again for another big event!

de herself available to me through email or phone. She even did my makeup trial the Thursday before my wedding since I was an out of town bride. Needless to see I was comfortable and I absolutely LOVED my day-of look on Saturday. And of course I have to mention how beautiful all of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law looked! If you want to look amazing and feel pampered on your wedding day, Erica is the perfect makeup artist!

sters wedding. No one in my family wears a lot of make-up, and she totally understood that and made us feel comfortable in our own skin. She completed a very natural look for each of us, and the make-up did not move the entire day. I was definitely impressed. I can’t wait to use Erica again for another event in the future.

ly did I feel amazing, but she created beautifully flawless looks for all of my bridesmaids and my moms. Everyone felt and looked gorgeous throughout the entire day (even with the light misty rain we took pictures in!). Erica was incredibly sweet and professional throughout the entire process and went above and beyond, providing guidance on how to care for my skin along with recommendations for products to try, as well as amazing little personal touches with a hand massage and touch up kit on the day of to keep your look flawless all day! She truly cares about and listens to the needs/wants of each person she works with in order to help them feel comfortable and to achieve the desired look for their special day. She is incredibly thorough; elevating my look just a bit on the wedding day after looking back at pictures from the trial. This lovely lady is educated about skin care, products, and the most current and relevant techniques-- she truly values the importance of continuing to learn and improve her skills so she can provide the absolute best service to her brides! I feel so lucky to have found Erica and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to feel relaxed and amazingly flawless on their special day!

d and felt gorgeous. My mom, who's in her 70s and was reluctant about the whole thing, was thrilled at how naturally beautiful and young she looked. And I couldn't have been happier with my look- in a mastery of subtle drama, Erica made my eyes look amazing behind glasses, and she found the perfect lip shade to complement my complexion and brightly patterned bridal outfit. My sister in law wanted more glam and the result was stunning. Our makeup held up all night. Erica is brilliant! I don’t typically wear much makeup and wanted to look like myself…and as soon as I met Erica I knew this was a great decision. We had a trial, then emailed to refine a plan. It was a fun process. And the travel fee to NYC? Worth every penny.

team for your day. She truly took the time to make sure not only I was happy but each of my other girls as well. I would not hesitate to recommend her! Thank you so much Erica!

o show Erica at my make-up trial and she understood what I was looking for right away (even if I wasn't a 100% sure what look I was going for!). On the day of my wedding (3/11/2017) , I was a little stressed with the hubbub of my family getting ready and the timing of the day. Erica saw that I was a little stressed and was able to help calm me down, by asking my sister/matron of honor to put on some music in the background. In addition, she did a fantastic job with my sisters' make-up, and my mother. My mother was very nervous about getting her make-up done but once Erica finished with her, my mother could not stop raving about how great she looked and felt. She truly made my mother feel like the mother of the bride. Erica did such a great job with my make-up, I felt comfortable the entire night. I felt like I looked like myself, only a better of myself (which is absolutely how I wanted to feel that day). I truly could not have asked for a better make-up artist than Erica! I never felt nervous about how my look would turn out, I completely trusted her! Fiona Ellis

she did everything, just as she did during the trial. She worked on most of my bridal party as well, everyone was thrilled with their outcome. Erica is very professional but also easy going and fun to talk to. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asks!

roach keep you calm, no matter the occasion. It would be a mistake to not work with her. Worth every penny!

tiful in my life! My mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids all had their makeup done by her as well and everyone could not stop raving about how amazing they felt. Selfies abounded in the bridesmaids' changing room, and late that night everyone confessed that they didn't want to ever wash off their makeup. Not only that, but Erica was extremely punctual (we had a VERY early morning start), courteous, kind, and all around a joy to work with. She's also very dedicated to hygiene, which is (obviously) important when it comes to makeup and skincare. I highly recommend!

rbrush and individual false lashes that she applied had a perfect balance of elevating my look without making me look too over done and the makeup lasted all night long!

ur requests & executes flawlessly. I used her on my wedding day 2 weeks ago and have never felt so beautiful. BOOK HER NOW!

riend. She highlights your best features, and has a way with color. If you want to look your absolute best on your big day, book Erica (if you can catch her before she's booked up by me and my friends!)

anor that set me at ease in one of the decisions that was most important to me for the big day. Erica also managed to come to NY for my makeup trial, which was incredibly helpful, as we were planning on a shortened timeline and it also allowed us to combine the day with a test shoot with our photographers. The day of the wedding went very smoothly and she coordinated easily with the hairdresser I had there, even though they hadn't worked together previously. Everyone was thrilled with their makeup and I thought she made everyone look truly gorgeous. I wear makeup on a daily basis and my sister-in-law wears none, so we ran the gamut of different styles, and Erica flawlessly accommodated each of us and had everyone looking beautiful. I was especially blown away with the makeup she did for my mom. I've never seen her eyes brought out like that! She looked amazing and everyone left for our first look pics feeling fantastic and it just really set the whole evening on a perfect start. I absolutely loved working with Erica and very highly recommend her!

ns to your ideas and enhances them with her incredible talent, she is professional, kind and makes what can be a stressful day relaxing because you know you are in great hands! If I could hire her every day I would!

nal and her calm presence was such a nice addition to such a busy day. We all looked flawless the entire night and we looked great in the photographs. I would recommend Erica for anyone who has an occasion they need to get glammed up for. Thank you Erica!!

ng, I've had her do my makeup for various special occasions over the years. She always listens to what I want and gives me exactly that—and she's so skilled, she's able to do it all. She's also just a sweet, cool person, so collaborating with her is always a dream!

ing the morning of the wedding with her. She's also extremely flexible, and was able to roll with the punches when we had a little morning-of emergency. Not only was she able to switch gears and go to Bride #2 first, but she also helped calm down Bride #1--thank you! We felt beautiful and totally recommend her!!
