Erin was absolutely perfect for my wedding day. I was very concerned about looking overdone for my outdoor wedding in the fall, and Erin could not have done a better job. She was timely, efficient, and very professional. Not only that, she was so sweet, and fun to be around, especially for a stressful morning. Erin, thank you so much for making me feel beautiful on the big day!
Where do I start? From the moment I met Erin at my trial, she was the upmost professional, patient and kind person. Erin truly provides a natural look and does not go overboard, as was my fear hiring a makeup artist prior to meeting Erin. Her communication and organization is excellent. She is incredibly talented and a true pleasure to work with. I felt like a beautiful bride on my wedding day , thanks to Erin!
Erin was reasonably priced and easy to contact via email. Her pricing is also very clear in her pricing sheet. She was friendly and very detailed. All my bridesmaids that got their makeup done by her loved it! I also loved the way my makeup came out! My only complaint is that we had agreed before my wedding day that she would also do the makeup for the groom and my mother (who both were very apprehensive of getting their makeup done) and on our wedding day her assistant was the one who did their makeup and it was TOO HEAVY! My mother and the groom were unfortunately quite self-conscious the rest of the day and I had to wipe much of it off.
Erin was amazing and I'm so glad I hired her to do my makeup for my wedding day. She was so friendly, communicative and on top of everything leading up to my wedding day - planning logistics with her was easy and stress free. She is also incredibly talented and did such a beautiful job with my makeup. She did exactly what I wanted, and gave me a look that was long-lasting but wasn't caked-on or heavy. Erin is an extremely talented makeup artist, very professional, and so nice to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Erin is just fantastic. She is professional and her work is excellent.
Erin was amazing on my big day! Myself, my mom, and bridesmaids were all so happy with our makeup! Our makeup looked bright and flawless and lasted all day and night :) Erin is super organized and sweet which makes going with her an even better choice in addition to her amazing skills!
I cannot say enough good things about Erin!!! She has a true eye for makeup and made all of us feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She listened to what I wanted and made adjustments as I requested during my trail. On the day of, she followed exactly what we talked about during my trial and was open to making adjustments then, too! My grandmother and mother also got their makeup done, and I was so impressed with the outcome! No matter your age, Erin can make you look and feel your best! She is not heavy handed, but makes you look like you just stepped out of a photo shoot :) I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Erin!!!!
Erin Ford is the best. She was so sweet and accommodating. She made me, my girls, and my mom feel and look absolutely beautiful. Erin was professional and gave us all good skin care and makeup advice. Erin absolutely knows makeup and made me look natural and not like someone I'm not. I would recommend using Erin Ford to any bride or anyone looking to feel beautiful. Thank you, Erin. Xoxo
Erin was absolutely amazing. Excellent response time for correspondence, especially a bride who needs things answered ASAP. She accommodated my overnight schedule when scheduling the trial, even traveling to the hair salon and double teamed with my hair stylist…on Valentine’s Day nonetheless! She gave advice regarding the scheduling order of all those involved who would be receiving makeup. She even did some touch up/cover up make up for my dad and a groomsman who needed a little help with skin issues. Everyone looked awesome. I felt like a princess with how I was treated. She even helped stage some getting ready photos as my makeup was complete prior to my photographer’s arrival. Definitely a calming experience for a high-strung bride.
I had a great experience working with Erin! She answered all of my emails quickly and was available anytime I had questions leading up to the wedding. Her bridal package included a trial appointment (which I loved), so I was able to see the look in advance and get to meet her in person before the big day. On the day of the wedding, she was very professional and brought every possible color of makeup that anyone could ever want or need! All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved working with Erin! She takes the time to listen to what you really want, asks about any allergies or sensitivities you might have, and creates a customized look to everyone's comfort level with makeup. You can definitely tell that Erin enjoys what she does! Her sweet disposition and eye for beauty make her a perfect choice for anyone's big day! I am so happy that I was recommended to her! Definitely choose Erin, you won't be disappointed!!
Erin was an absolute doll! I have to admit that I was a bit stressed out on my wedding day.... things all seemed to be going wrong (including my car breaking down on the way to the hotel the previous night), but Erin had a way of calming me down and being very kind and caring to me, even in my most hectic of days. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted out of a look, and didn't try to make me look like someone that I wasn't. She executed the look that I wanted perfectly. She definitely is a talented artist and I could tell that she genuinely wanted me to feel my most beautiful! I have been to many makeup artists over the years, and Erin Ford is definitely one of my favorites that I have worked with! I appreciated the fact that her rates were reasonable and that she even included a preview session in her pricing. I would definitely tell other brides-to-be to check out her work online! Very happy with the service that I received!! Thank you!
After doing a lot of research on makeup artists in the Albany area, I decided to go with Erin Ford. Her portfolio and experience with brides stood out to me. Upon initial contact, she was professional, courteous, and got back to my messages quickly. At the makeup trial she asked me about my skin concerns and makeup preferences, then did a full face application so I could preview the look. I really loved how she listened to what I wanted! She took the time to explain everything to me and even gave me tips and tricks to use myself. I learned a lot! When she was done with the look, I felt the most beautiful I have in years!! At the wedding, she did my makeup as well as four of the bridesmaids. Everyone looked fabulous! I really couldn't have been happier with the service we received! Erin is so sweet and you can tell that she truly loves what she does! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a talented makeup artist at an affordable price! Thank you Erin for the wonderful job you did!! A+++
