Irene O'Brien Artistry

Irene was incredible! She did an amazing job with my hair & makeup for my wedding. I felt like a glowing goddess, or like I could have been in a photo shoot. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night, through dancing and a lot of cheek-kissing, but it felt comfortable. It was really important to me that I not look too made-up, that my skin could breathe, and that my hair looked modern and flowy rather than overdone. My bridesmaids also looked gorgeous, and I was so happy that her team did a great job with mom's makeup as well. I searched for a long time for the person who felt like the right fit, and I'm so glad I went with Irene. I was also very happy with her professionalism - pulling together the schedule, arriving right on time and sticking to the timeline, and working with colleagues who were also reliable, talented, and professional. All in all I was extremely happy and would highly recommend Irene. (To be honest, I want another event so I can have an excuse to hire her again! Why can't I get hair and makeup done everyday?! So not fair. :))

I can't say enough about this amazing woman!!! She is SO sweet and SO good at what she does. She will make you look and feel like a princess on tour big day. If I could only add photos to this!!! My make up was FLAWLESS and so was my hair!!! Make up and hair lasted until the very end. I can't wait to see the rest of our pictures. Thank you Irene!!!

As a mother of the bride, I wanted the best of everything for our daughter, and I must say, finding Irene was a absolute blessing. She is the most down to earth person, as well as a total professional in her artistry. We hired Irene to do our make up for our daughter wedding day, and I have never felt so beautiful! She listened to us, worked intently and with such dedication to perfection, and worked seamlessly with our hair stylists and photographer. 11.10.18 was the best day ever!!! Thank you for being just you, Irene!

Irene did the makeup for me, my MOH, and my groom’s daughter for our wedding day this past weekend (we had a small wedding party). She came to our home and worked in tandem with our hair stylist. She was super attentive to each of us getting our makeup done and made all 3 of us look incredible! I really appreciate her way of making us look stunning but still natural. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and a huge part of that was due to Irene. I would highly recommend her to any bride for their special day.

I had the pleasure of meeting Irene thru a friend when I wasn't even engaged yet! Her genuine love for makeup and work always stuck with me after meeting her. As soon as I got that ring I contacted her and asked her if she would schedule a trial with me and I booked her that night! She is professional and precise. She will go step by step with you and make sure you approve of the make up process. Her work is flawless! My makeup stayed in perfect shape from the beginning of our day which was from around 9 am till 11 o'clock pm. I cannot express how happy I was with the work did on my mother as well as the bridesmaids. She recently relocated to Texas but still kept her word and traveled for my wedding in NY!! She is the best and I am so thankful to have met her! Thank you again Irene!!

I had the pleasure of using Irene and her fellow artist Rossy because my friend was getting married and chose Irene to do the bridesmaids makeup as well as her own on her wedding day. Any bridesmaid would have been extremely happy about this because all of Irene’s work is beautiful. I was extremely satisfied with my makeup. They worked with me and asked me what I liked to have done. They were both professionals and took the time to ask each bridesmaid there preference. Rossy took her time on me and made me feel absolutely gorgeous! Both Irene and Rossy have an extroidanry talent which I was so lucky to have experienced first hand! They had a beautiful set up equipped with so many items and color pallets. You’d think you were in a make up studio with lighting and all. They brought everything! Neat and clean!

I had the pleasure of having Irene as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in September 2017. We had a very early start and I was really anxious and tired but she kept me smiling the whole damn morning. Irene was so attentive and really listened to what I wanted- she NAILED the look I had hoped for. She even helped me arrange my train as I was posing for pictures and just overall helped me feel so comfortable/at ease. She is so sweet and her work speaks for itself. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and a huge reason for that is because of Irene!
