Jillian was incredible this weekend and was so patient with all of the women and kids getting their makeup done. She did a beautiful job on everyone. I loved my wedding day makeup ...
so much. It came out perfectly!!
Prior to our wedding day, Jillian also went above and beyond to help me find a hair stylist. Without her help of finding someone, my wedding day would have been a million times more stressful.

Jillian was such a joy to work with throughout my time creating my bridal look! She is so knowledgeable in her makeup and is a true talent. She is great with answering my questions...
and gives guidance and suggestions when needed. She is so professional with her work, bringing her makeup light, makeup chair and a whole artillery of makeup palettes and supplies! I am not one to wear a lot of makeup, but Jillian's coverage for my wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was breathable, light but held the whole day and made me feel like a true fairy princess. Jillian is so good in her trade and would be perfect to be a part of any bride/grooms wedding day. Plus she does amazing nails too if you need that as well!

Jillian and her assistant were so amazing! They were so outgoing and full of energy. I had no idea what I was doing planning my wedding and she helped me so much with the makeup pa...
rt. I had no ideas when I first met with her. I told her I don’t like a lot of makeup and I wanted to look as natural as possible. I trusted her professional option and she did not disappoint. Everything was perfect! She worked so well with my hair stylist to get myself and my bridal party done on a strict deadline. She has extremely reasonable prices and she was worth every penny! 10/10 definitely recommend! (ps. go with the airbrush! it was 87 degrees and I got married outside… it’s sweat-proof and didn’t run at all)
