LOOK NO MORE. In a ridiculously saturated bridal market, there are a ton of makeup and hair artists out there. Some come as a package deal, or just offer one service. Jen Ford for Faces by Fo is the only makeup artist you will need for your big... day. I was a very picky bride. I went on 3 hair and makeup trials before I found Jen. I was also a bride who thought that a "packaged" company who does both hair and makeup would be the easiest way to go. I already had so much planning on my hands, i just wanted a one stop shop. However, all of these "famous" companies I was trying just weren't it. Most of the time, I liked the hair artist, but not the makeup artist. I needed to find someone who could "bring it up a notch" on my big day. Let me start off by saying, i love makeup, and i love wearing makeup. There are so many looks that a bride can rock, however, I found that every makeup trial i went to, I wasn't really listened to. Almost every other artist did my makeup based on what other brides do. A lot of the times i walked out looking like i had no makeup on. That wasn't for me. I wanted to be "done up," glamorous, fierce, movie star status, and that's where Faces by Fo came into play. They were the only ones who gave me all of that and more. Of course they are ridiculously talented and can create ANY look you want, from the "barely there makeup babe" " to the "stunning sexy siren." But that was the best part, they could do it all, and do it very well. During my trial, we tried at least 3 looks. Jen never blinked an eye or looked at the time. I was one of those brides with a pintrest board for everything, and of course i had to show her. She was committed to making me happy. All of the looks were so fabulous, I couldn't pick just one. I figured we would decide on the day of the wedding. It is very hard to find a makeup artist you give free reign to, who can look at your face, know your likes and dislikes, and just make it happen,it's the best thing ever. Jen Ford is a complete professional. From the start, she was on top of booking trials, and staying connected with me through the entire planning process. (I was a bride with many many questions-always!) The day of the wedding, Jen and her sister "The Fo sisters" showed up on time and ready to work. They brought an arsenal of makeup, brushes, and lashes, and even brought their own chairs for us to sit in. It was like an entire makeup studio was brought to us. It was amazing. My girls looked like models and the "mothers" looked outstanding. I've never seen my mother in law with full makeup, but let me tell you, she looked as beautiful as ever, and i know she felt that way as well. I'm so glad Jen was able to give her and me that gift. Jen and her sister created a different look for all of the women, but kept a cohesive look that was what the style of the wedding was about..glamorous, sexy, chic. We had many different personalities in my bridal party, Jen and her sister handled all of them with grace, patience, and respect. This is HUGE.
I really could go on and on about Faces by Fo...
Do yourself a favor, worry about other things on your big day. Let Jen Ford take care of the "bridal beauty.' She will not let you down. You will not regret it. Just meet her once, and you will be sold. I'd look into it soon, because this superstar is bound to book up fast.
Thank You Faces by Fo for making me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, and for giving me cheekbones for days! xxooo
