Jessica D'Amore Makeup Artist

I waited a year after my wedding to write this review, but it's one I wish I had read before choosing this makeup artist. In short, Jessica herself is an excellent makeup artist, but the rest of her team and their behavior on my wedding day left me with a very bad experience. At my trial, Jessica said that she would do the eye makeup of everyone in my bridal party and that her assistants would do the face makeup and prep. This did not happen. Jessica only did the makeup of me and my mother-in-law, and her assistants did everyone else. There was a very noticeable difference, whilst I looked bridal, everyone else looked like they were going clubbing. Thick black eyeliner, garish lipstick, etc. They all had to fix their own makeup after to look at all like themselves, which was so upsetting given how much it cost to have it professionally done. Furthermore, the hair artist could not do the hair style I had asked for, and instead of saying this and offering to find a solution, she repeatedly shamed me for having “too much hair” and saying “I don’t know where to put all this” (please note that my hair was only a couple of inches below the clavicle). The biggest issue I had on the day was the amount of stress they brought to the morning. A few weeks before the wedding Jessica sent me a schedule and asked me to slot the bridal party in. Think “bridesmaid A at 10am, bridesmaid B at 11am”. We weren’t all staying in the same location, so I asked each member to show up at the time of their appointment. But the makeup and hair artists were faster than expected, and started harassing me to have everyone arrive early for their appointments. Jessica was very pushy about it too, and said “they (the assistants) have other jobs to get to and want to leave early, so you need to call everyone to get here”. It ended up making the morning extremely tense and had everyone racing around. They were trying to leave hours ahead of when they were scheduled to be done. Overall, my makeup was gorgeous, but I am still sad about the way my hair turned out and the experience of my entire bridal party. We spent a lot of money on this service, including a required 20% gratuity, and it is still a dark spot on my wedding day.

I highly recommend Jessica and her team. She is professional, experienced, and easy to communicate with. Her team is a well-oiled machine and we were ready well before we needed to be. We all looked so beautiful!

Jessica is the BEST. She created such a calming and fun vibe on our wedding day. I really wanted a natural look and I could not have picked a better make-up artist. Love, love her!

Jessica was incredibly professional and helpful for my sister's wedding. I was grateful for her communication leading up to the big day. We had to make a lot of changes (time, location, etc.), and she rolled with all the punches. She did a fantastic job with women who had different levels of comfort with make up and glam, and made every woman look their best. Would absolutely recommend for others to use!!
