I found Genna on The Knot and I am so happy I found her. She made me feel comfortable from day one and listened to my ideas about what I was looking for. My make up turned out exactly how I wanted and I received nothing but compliments on it. It stayed on all day and even stayed on through many joyous tears! I highly recommend Genna Ellis Bridal Beauty. Genna is amazing and you will love the way you look!

Amazing Bridal Makeup Experience with Genna!
I had the pleasure of working with Genna for my bridal makeup, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From the moment we started, she was incredibly sweet and attentive, really taking the time to listen to exactly what I wanted. The final look was even better than I had imagined—my makeup was flawless, stayed in place all night, and I received countless compliments throughout the event.
Whether you're looking for a natural look or something more dramatic, like I went for with full glam, Genna can do it all. She uses high-quality products that not only made my skin look beautiful but also gave me insights into products I now use in my daily routine. What I really appreciated was that she cares about both the final look and your skin, which made me feel extra confident and cared for.
I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for top-tier makeup artistry. She’s talented, professional, and truly passionate about her craft. If you want makeup that stays perfect all day and night, she’s your go-to!

Everything with Genna was amazing, start to finish. I was worried about relinquishing control as I'm super picky when it comes to what I look like - but she really put me at ease and executed exactly what I wanted. I still tell everyone that she put me on to the PERFECT nude pink lip combo. I still wear it all the time! Highly recommend hiring Genna for your wedding.

Genna was amazing!!!! I got married on March 23, 2018. My trial was just what I wanted (and I used for my bachelorette)!!!! On the day of my wedding my make up was beautiful!!!! I wanted it to look natural and she did just that! I received tons of compliments on my make up and still do when people see photo's! Genna is very easy to talk to and fun to work with!!! I highly recommend her!!!

Genna was a great wedding make-up artist. Her trial was super reasonable and when we found out my skin was not quite right for her product, she offered to try a second product on a second visit. She created the perfect look for someone like me who doesn't wear make-up regularly. It was soft and elegant. My bridesmaids seemed happy, too!
