From start to finish Jackie was able to execute this process and experience seamlessly. I absolutely loved my makeup and so did my party! Simply the best
I don’t leave reviews often, but Jackie Riley deserves all the praise. She has the eye of an artist and the soul of a best friend. She knows how to bring out the best version of YOU, not just paint on trends. Every time I look back at my photos, I’m grateful she was the one behind the brush. Jacksonville is lucky to have her!
Jackie has the rare combination of being both technically flawless and incredibly kind. I went in feeling nervous about getting glammed up, but she made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I swear she has magic in her hands. If you’re anywhere near Sarasota and don’t book her...you’re missing out.

Jackie isn’t just doing makeup—she’s creating art. I booked her for a wedding and she transformed the entire bridal party into absolute showstoppers. Everyone kept asking who did our makeup. She has this calming, down-to-earth energy that makes the whole experience feel effortless. Worth every single penny.
I've worked with a lot of makeup artists, but Jackie Riley is on another level. She somehow made me look camera-ready and completely natural at the same time. She’s not just talented—she’s intuitive. She knew exactly what would flatter my face before I even opened my mouth. If you want someone who brings both skill and heart, Jackie is it.
Jackie is a true talent! She made me feel radiant and confident, and my makeup didn’t budge the entire night. She gave my bridal party gorgeous looks that suited each person perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Jackie did my makeup on my wedding day in January 2020 and I am still getting compliments until today! I loved my timeless look. I recommend booking her before she books out because of her popularity. She’s a celebrity makeup artist.
All in all I had 9 girls to get ready and they did amazing. Everyone looked so pretty!!
Great set of ladies, who are FANTASTIC at doing makeup and making you look gorgeous! I have a dark skinned complexion, and Jackie and Marissa knew exactly what to do, how I wanted it, and followed through the day of my wedding. I only had 4 bridesmaids, so I paid for their makeup, plus my mom's- and they all looked absolutely stunning! The transformation Jackie and Marissa were able to do on myself and my bridal party made everyone speechless. When the groomsmen finally saw my ladies post the wedding ceremony-they couldn't believe they were the same ladies from the night before at the wedding rehearsal LOL!
Jackie and Marissa, fantastic and worth it! The best investment you and your bridal party will make.
Absolutely amazing make up artist! I highly recommend her for weddings. She did my makeup for my bridal shower and wedding and I got so many compliments.
Jackie Riley did my make up for my wedding this past Friday and it was AMAZING! She was so accommodating to me and even came to my house last minute for a trial make-up run right before the big day! All my bridesmaids looked stunning and I have never felt so pretty my entire life! She is so detailed and on point with what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married, she does an excellent job! Thank you Jackie for helping to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be :)
Jackie is so fun to work with...I hired her for makeup and mobile spray tanning and was sincerely pleased with both services. Jackie is fun and so talented. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with an event that they feel like getting GORGEOUS for!
Jackie is very professional. Her scheduling and timely manner was exceptional.
Her makeup techniques and color blending was spectacular. Everyone was extremely happy with their looks. Makeup lasted thru hot New Orleans streets and dancing throughout the night.
I would love to have Jackie do my makeup again. Thanks!
I had my makeup done by Jackie Riley on my wedding day and I couldn't be happier with her services. My entire bridal party looked absolutely gorgeous, and as the bride, she made me stand out but in a way that did not make me look like someone entirely different. She enhanced all of my attributes. I received a hundred and one compliments on my makeup that day. She was also kind and made me laugh to calm my nerves. I appreciated that.
My husband was shocked to see me as I walked down the aisle and he even mentioned how well my make up was done as he stood there with tears in his eyes. It was the reaction I wanted from him and I'm glad I hired Jackie for this special occasion. I did not want to remove my makeup that night. I'll definitely be hiring her for any special occasion.
Not only is Jackie AMAZING in her work. She also has the kind of personality that makes any bride and their bridal party feel at ease and relaxed. She totally listens to your wants and needs. The end results are perfection. Jackie emanates the passion that she has for make-up and you can definitely see it and feel it. I love Jackie!!!!
Jackie has done my make up a few times and is always spot on with the look I want. She gives the perfect look with contouring and color balance whether it's a smokey eye or natural soft make up. I love what she does so much that I always end up purchasing all new make up after seeing what she uses on me.
Im not sure if words can express how amazing I think Jackie's job is, she exceeded my expectations, really professional, friendly and so responsible, I felt so comfortable.
She did my makeup as well as my bridesmaids makeup, the end result was absolutely gorgeous and flawless, we all received so many compliments on our makeup. I would highly recommend using Jackie as your makeup artist, she is very talented and will not disappoint!!
Love to see you work your magic. Thank you for making me feel like a million bucks after the make up. You really are amazing.
I was hesitant about having someone do my make up on my wedding day. I had an outdoor wedding and didn't want to look too made up but Jackie far surpassed expectations. My (now) husband even noticed how beautiful she made me and I totally took his breath away when I walked down the isle. I highly recommend her and if anyone has concerns about wedding make up, book her for a trial session. Trust me. You have no idea how good you can look until she gets her brushes on you:)
I got married two weeks ago in hot sweaty florida and hired Jackie via word of mouth to do my makeup.
Jackie did two trials for me and stayed throughout the wedding day, she also took place of "creative director" during all photog moments. Telling me how to pose and stand straight - my pics came out great!-
She had an entire kit of makeup with all shades of lipstick (very important to me) and she really listened. Other makeup artists layered on makeup saying it would look better in photo than in person, but Jackie did my makeup so great, it looked natural in person and great on camera too! I opted for a smokey eye with urban decay and a light wash of foundation and bronzer.
Jackie also created a lip color for me using several liners/sticks/glosses which matched my bouquet (pink calla lilys) loved this!
Thank you Jackie I will pass you along to all my gfs! Xo
