Jillian Maria Makeup

Jillian was so sweet and wonderful! She was professional and listened well to the suggestions and input from myself and my bridesmaids. We all loved how our makeup turned out!

Jillian was so great to work with for my wedding! I purchased the package that included engagement photo makeup, a trial, and day-of - it was a great value for the quality of work she provides. She was able to bring my vision to life, and was very receptive to feedback in order to get there. My makeup lasted all night, and my bridal party looked amazing as well!

I do NOT recommend Jillian. I originally booked her for my September wedding in February and paid the deposit. In July I reached out to try to set up a time to do a trial and she didn't get back to me for over 2 weeks and only after I left her multiple voicemails and sent her numerous emails. The lack of communication was absurd, and not what a bride needs only a couple months before her day. When I finally did get in contact with her, she didn't apologize, only said that her schedule is busy with her being in school, which is understandable, but you can at least send a simple email response saying you will get back to someone in a few days. I ended up going with a different makeup artist at the last minute as I did not trust Jillian to show up the morning of my wedding. I did not get my deposit back.

Jillian is always so sweet and considerate of what her client wants, and goes above and beyond when it comes to making sure her brides feel beautiful on their big day! I have had my makeup professionally done by Jillian on multiple occasions, and each time I walk away feeling like a better version of myself! She also has a gift for making people feel comfortable, and is very personable and welcoming! Jillian did my wedding day makeup, as well as the rest of my wedding party, and was extremely efficient while doing an A+ job on everybody. She makes the whole experience very relaxing, and all about you :) I definitely recommend Jillian to anybody who is looking for a makeup artist who will enhance their natural beauty, who is kind, passionate, and warm-hearted, and who truly wants the best experience for her clients!

Jillian was such a delight to work with. She really took the time to listen and understand the look I was going for, not only for the wedding, but for our engagement photos as well. She’s so flexible and sweet. We even ended up tweaking my look between the trail and the wedding and I could not believe how absolutely perfect it was! She was amazing to work with and I would 100% recommend using her!

Would not recommend. Jillian was VERY difficult to communicate with throughout the planning process. I suggested approximately five different dates for our trial run and she turned down every single one. On top of that, she wouldn't email me back for weeks. On one occasion it took so long that I had to reach out a second time to finally receive a response back, and by that point it was already passed the date I had suggested in the first place. Ultimately, we ended up doing my makeup trial on a date that worked best for her, a Tuesday night at 5pm. It was a huge bummer considering I didn't get the chance to see how the makeup would hold up throughout the day. Don't get me wrong, Jillian was very sweet during my makeup trial. She even told me that if there was anything I would like to change for the big day to just shoot her a message. I ended up messaging her regarding my changes: my eyeshadow and false eyelashes. The eyeshadow inspiration I showed her happened to be a screenshot of a bride she worked on in the past. It was a translucent gold and shimmery look. My eyeshadow turned out orange and was paired with a plum lip. Not exactly what I had in mind for the big day. Of course, she never responded to my message for weeks. At that point I was beyond frustrated with the communication and took it upon my self to find a new artist last minute before the wedding. As soon as I booked a new artist I reached out to her to let her know. No response to this day.

Jillian did such an amazing job for my wedding!! I first met her for my engagement session and I loved her style, and then my bridal trial and wedding day styles were even better! I felt like an enhanced version of my normal self, which was exactly what I was hoping for. I’m bad at communicating what style/look I’m going for, but Jillian was able to figure out exactly what I was looking for and made me feel so beautiful!! On the morning of the wedding, she and her assistant arrived right on time and were all set up by the time we even got to the bridal suite. My bridesmaids and mom all looked gorgeous and loved their makeup too. Seriously can’t say enough great things about her, I’m so happy with how everything turned out!!

Jillian is just wonderful! I hired her to do makeup for me, my six bridesmaids, my bridal attendant, my mom, and my hubby's mom for our wedding. She also ended up doing makeup for my mom's friend, who joined our getting-ready session the day of the wedding. Given our large bridal party size, Jillian brought an assistant at no additional charge, which was very convenient and much appreciated. I originally contacted Jillian via email because I was very impressed with her work and her affordable rates. I truly could not have gotten better quality, and her rates are highly affordable compared to all other makeup artists I found. Jillian quickly replied to my inquiry and I booked her eight months before the wedding. The only downside I experienced with Jillian was a lack of communication for a period of time after I booked her for the wedding. She rescheduled my trial twice with me (once because she had booked a wedding on my trial date and had not informed me, and once because of weather, which was completely understandable). I contacted her about my concerns over the communication, and she responded very kindly. She is a true professional and I did not have the communication issues again. The week of the wedding, she emailed me a detailed timeline for the makeup applications for the day of, and asked if it fit my schedule. She also gave me my final balance and the breakdown of that balance between her and her assistant. The day of the wedding went very smoothly! Jillian and Pa Da showed up early to set up. They were extremely accommodating to our makeup requests and Jillian did check with me to ask if I had makeup restrictions for the bridesmaids, which I didn't. My bridal attendant ended up asking for the exact same makeup as one of my bridesmaids, and Pa Da was able to deliver the perfect look for her. Jillian did my makeup, and it was impeccable. The airbrush did not flake or cake on my dry skin, and my mascara and eyeliner stayed put all throughout the evening! She also gave me a little sample lipstick of my color so I could re-apply throughout the evening, which I did right before the ceremony. I am so thankful for Jillian and could not be more impressed! I would recommend her to anybody.

Jillian did an amazing job for me and my two daughters for my wedding last night. She is so professional, gave me the exact look I had in mind, and it lasted throughout the entire evening. My daughters both looked beautiful and age appropriate but felt so special. I 100% recommend Jillian. I'm very grateful she was part of our day!

Jillian was one of my favorite vendors! She is friendly and engaging and also got everyone's makeup perfect. Jillian came to my house for the trial and even did my makeup for my engagement shoot. The looks were very different, moody and romantic versus natural and she was able to nail them both. She was also very attentive to all my questions and suggestions. The day of the wedding she was ready to go before we even got there and was flexible when some of the wedding party showed up late. We were still able to finish on time. Everyone's makeup lasted through the day and night, including a pretty enthusiastic dance floor. Even my dark lipstick remained stuck through dinner. Nevertheless, Jillian was kind enough to give me some extra lipstick in case any smudged. I know Jillian could create the wedding look of anyone's dream and would 100% recommend her.

Jillian is AMAZING and one of the sweetest people you will work with. She was able to accommodate a last minute trial and adjust accordingly on my big day. I couldn't have been more impressed with her skill and the end result. I received many compliments on my make-up. She's the best.

So easy to work with, helpful and amazingly talented at her job!

Jillian was amazing! She differently listens to your thoughts and ideas and makes you feel beautiful! I couldn't imagine my day without her there.

Jillian was so much fun to work with! She did exactly what I asked for in the trial and changed the look when I told her I wanted more glam for the wedding. She is so easy to get along with in addition to being a very talented artist! I highly recommend working with Jillian!

Amazing job! Easy to work with, professional, quick to respond, and did such a wonderful job with me and my bridal party for the wedding!

Jillian was fantastic and made me feel flawless on my wedding day! I was a little nervous about getting my makeup done, but she put me at ease and listened to me so well. I really appreciated how she showed me options and checked in with me step by step to make sure I liked everything. I had a done a trial with another makeup artist before I met Jillian, and had bad experiences with airbrush and false eyelashes. Jillian executed them perfectly though! She is super talented and also really fun to have around! I would use her again in a heartbeat!

Jillian is such a sweetheart and was great to work with! She did my makeup, as well as my maid of honor and two bridesmaids. The makeup lasted all day (and some even made it to the next day!), looked great in person and in the photos.

Jillian was amazing to work with! She came to my house for my trial makeup and immediately I knew she was going to be so fun to work with. The next day she came back to do my makeup for our engagement session, so we got to try a couple of different looks before wedding day. She asks a lot of questions and takes notes so that you get just the look you want for your wedding! Jillian is super professional, timely, and friendly and made our wedding day easy and relaxed for the whole wedding party. Thanks Jillian, I can’t wait for another excuse to get dolled up!

If you want amazing makeup done by an amazing person, hire Jillian! She was so fun, flexible and professional. She worked with my schedule (planned my wedding from out of state) and we had so much fun during the makeup trial. She listened to what I wanted and made me look and feel beautiful. I can't say enough positive things about Jillian.

Jillian did an amazing job with my wedding! Out of all of the vendors/services I dealt with throughout the process she was by far the the easiest and best to work with! She has so much passion for what she does and really wants to make sure it's exactly what you want. I showed her a few pictures of what I was thinking and it turned out exactly how I was hoping and lasted perfect all day! I had a large wedding party and she was on time and ready to go in the morning, and made sure to follow the schedule so everyone was done on time. I highly recommend her!

Jillian did a FANTASTIC job on my make up and my bridesmaids. She took detailed notes from my make up trial and made sure I felt completely satisfied with how it looked before leaving. She also did this for my bridesmaids which was so amazing! Her attention to detail was off the charts! I would recommend to anyone who wants to look amazing in their wedding day! Thank you!!!!!

Jillian is great to work with. She is amazing. She listened to our needs and her knowledge of make up is impressive. I will refer her to family and friends who need a professional make up artist.
