Jessie is the best! I would highly recommend her for any and all events. She is very talented and her makeup is ALWAYS more beautiful than the inspo pics shown to her! Jessie is so patient during makeup trials and extremely professional - she is never late and always prepared! She made me feel and look like a princess during my entire wedding week!! If you are a bride, then she is definitely someone to have help you get ready the morning of your wedding!!

Oh what an experience! I had a baby shower this past year and the one and only nailed my makeup! I felt so beautiful that day, and I couldn’t be more appreciative because my makeup is flawless in all my photos. On time, brought everything, even her own little trash can!! So professional 👏🏻

My maid of honor found Jessie and connected me with her to get a makeup trial done. During the trial, she made me feel so welcome and we talked the whole time! On my wedding day, she traveled 2 hours with a start time of 7:30am, which was so amazing of her to do! She was so much fun and helped make the morning so exciting :) I would 100% recommend her to anyone I know!

My SIL got Jessie as our makeup for my wedding. The final product gave what it was supposed to give! I looked like myself and it lasted throughout the night of me sweating and dancing!!! Jessie made everyone feel comfortable when did did our makeup. The best part about this is I had a multicultural wedding party and my little sister is more of a dark chocolate and Jessie was able to do her foundation and everything and my sis looked great!!! Her eyes looked great as well! Jessie has shown she is versed in doing makeup on all different skin tones and we love that the most! Thank you for everything! I couldn’t have been more satisfied!

Jessie did an amazing job on our girls makeup for my wedding this past August! She’s super fun to talk to while getting ready and she makes sure you have the makeup you want on your special day. It had rained during our outdoor ceremony, and the amount of compliments we got because our makeup did not MOVE was crazy! I could not recommend her enough!

Jessie did my makeup for my sister's wedding this past August. She did a phenomenal job! Jessie is a such a fun personality in the bridal suite while everyone is getting ready while also being very professional. She uses only the best products and they last the whole day, even through sweat and rain! We had nothing but compliments from the photographer and other guests in attendance. I cannot recommend Jessie enough to do your makeup for whatever special occasion you may have.

Jessie went above and beyond when it came to making my experience as smooth as possible. She not only did my makeup trial on the day I did my engagement photos but I received so many compliments which was awesome! My getting ready experience was one I will never forget because she helped limit stress and made it a fun morning for me and my girls. She also helped me pick out the right hairstylist for my day as well as a few other vendors she has great connections with. She is a gem to work with and I will hire her again if I need more makeup done!

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding-day make-up experience than what Jessie gave me! As a girl with very little makeup experience I was nervous about this portion of the planning. After my trial with Jessie I knew I could trust this part of my wedding day with her. She listened to every thought and concern I voiced and guided me to a look that was perfect for me. To top everything off Jessie brought a warm and positive energy to every interaction we had. I can’t recommend her services enough!

Did my phone consultation with Jessie and this lady is incredible. So sweet and professional! I booked a trial so easily and already have a feeling I will be using her for my engagement photos, wedding day and anything else I'll need my makeup done for! I'd give her 10 stars if I could just based on how she treated me as a real person who doesn't know anything about makeup. Looking forward to my trial and getting skincare solutions to help me have amazing skin for the day of!

She is quick to respond and will treat you like your best friends.
She really gets to know her clients, and will never leave you hanging.

I was attending a friend's wedding and needed help with make up. As soon as I met Jessie I knew I was in good hands. She completely put me at ease and was able to capture the bold look I was gong for just from a single picture! I was totally blown away with the finished product and so was everyone at the wedding. I don't think a 10/10 is a high enough rating for her. Thanks for helping me out Jessie!
