Jennifer is truly an artist. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to do my makeup on my wedding day. I got so many compliments and felt so great! She also is extremely professio...
nal and a joy to work with and she made me feel at ease during the whole process. When we were doing our trial, it was super collaborative which I really appreciated and ended up with a result that was exactly what I was picturing! I would work with her 100x over!
I can’t recommend Jennifer and her team enough. I knew I didn’t want full glam for my wedding, and I was immediately drawn to the natural yet still elevated looks on her website. S...
he and Nicole made me and my bridesmaids, my mom, and my MIL look and feel absolutely beautiful on the day, working with very diverse skin tones and types and making everyone look flawless. On top of that, Jennifer was such a joy to work with. She kept communication open before and during, checking in with me and making sure I was comfortable and getting the look I wanted, and even after when she was kind enough to answer my multiple questions about the amazing products she used. It really felt like a team effort, with her soliciting my feedback during the make-up trial and making sure I knew that we could change it however I wanted even on the day. I’m so glad that she could be with me on my special day.
Jennifer was my dream makeup artist to have for my wedding and I couldn't be happier that dream came to life!! Jennifer was amazing at every step throughout the process. During my ...
trial, I did not have many inspo pictures. I mostly showed pictures of my everyday makeup and described what I liked/did not like from makeup in the past and she listened to every detail and curated the perfect bridal makeup look! I was so happy with my trial that I did not change anything for my wedding day. It was a very warm day and my makeup stayed in place the whole day! My bridesmaids and moms were beyond happy with their makeup -- it was truly my favorite makeup I've seen on a bridal party! I will be forever thankful that Jennifer helped create my dream bridal makeup look and I cannot recommend her enough!
Jennifer is AMAZING! She is incredibly kind, and she is a true professional. During my trial, she genuinely listened to everything that I said, and she is wonderful at communicatin...
g before she even starts the makeup, which made me feel so comfortable. I also loved that she asked to see pictures of ME when I liked my own makeup. I wanted natural-looking makeup, but I wanted to look like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day- and she absolutely nailed it!
On the wedding morning, she was such a calm and happy presence- truly someone you'd want to spend your wedding morning with. My bridesmaids loved her, and two are even planning on booking her for their own weddings too. Before she left, Jennifer provided me a little touch up kit, and besides reapplying lipstick, I did not even use it- and it was a very hot outdoor wedding! I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!
I could not have been happier with my wedding makeup! It turned out even better than I could have imagined! I felt so beautiful and confident, which meant so much to me on such a s...
ignificant day. Jennifer helped make me feel calm while also bringing lots of fun, positive energy to our morning. Thank you so much, Jennifer! You truly are the BEST!!
Jennifer is absolutely incredible! My makeup was flawless and stayed perfect all night. I felt so beautiful! She is insanely talented, and even though I had no feedback after my tr...
ial (because she nailed it), she somehow managed to make my wedding day look even better than I ever imagined.
Beyond her artistry, Jennifer is such a joy to be around. She’s calming, cheerful, and exactly the kind of presence you want on such a big day.
She also made my mom and mother-in-law look the best I’ve ever seen them. I was blown away, and so were they. And to top it off, all of my husband’s friends told me if I ever leave him, they’re available - I give all the credit to Jennifer for that one!
Jennifer is not only super talented but also incredibly organized and attentive, which put me completely at ease throughout the wedding process. She gave each of my girls a look th...
at suited their individual styles and skin tones, and everyone felt so confident and beautiful. My own makeup held up perfectly through the entire celebration and photographed beautifully. Jennifer truly made me feel like royalty, and I’d recommend JKo to any bride-to-be.
Jennifer is a real dream come true when it comes to wedding makeup. She is not only super knowledgeable but really wants to make sure she knows what her client wants (even when th...
e client may not know how to word it!) Having Jennifer around on the morning of your wedding will be a great start your big day.
I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! She was incredibly organized and attentive to every detail from the very beginning. Her makeup style is so natural and soft — I truly felt like ...
myself, just a more radiant, enhanced version.
I have a lot of allergies and skin sensitivities, and Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure I felt safe and comfortable. She took the time to go through literally every product she owns to ensure everything would work for my skin. I can’t thank her enough for her patience and care.
Thanks to Jennifer, I felt beautiful and confident on my wedding day. She is not only talented but also kind and thoughtful — exactly the person you want by your side on such an important day!

nderstood the assignment perfectly! My wedding makeup was absolutely stunning and I truly felt like my best self the day of the event. My bridesmaids also looked/ felt so beautiful which was extremely important to me. Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Jennifer was so incredible to work with! She completely understood what I was looking for in my bridal makeup, and walked me through the entire process. For an anxious bride, she w...
as a calming force on the wedding day. And for someone who doesn't generally wear a lot of makeup, she made me feel glamorous while still looking like myself. She also did a wonderful job with my bridal party, especially my little niece, who she was absolutely adorable with. I could not recommend her more. I'm so happy she was a part of our big day!
Jennifer and her team did an amazing job on my 7 bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in law. She hyped us all up, kept us on schedule, and most importantly made us all look great! Jennife...

l to be around and always makes you feel like the most special in the world. I wanted a timeless, simple, natural makeup look and Jennifer exceeded all of my expectations. My entire bridal party looked stunning and they were so happy with their makeup. Jennifer is so easy to talk to and is extremely knowledgeable about her craft. Her communication and expertise put my planning at ease. From the moment I met Jennifer at my trial I knew I had found the perfect makeup artist for my wedding day. She is just so comforting and an absolute joy to be around on any wedding day. I highly recommend her to everyone!!
Jennifer is one of the most talented make up artists!!!! Her style is timeless, she is extremely knowledgable about makeup and skin care, and she makes you feel like an elevated ve...
rsion of YOU. These are all the reasons Jenn was one of the best choices I made for my wedding day! Jenn had the perfect energy for the morning of my wedding. She made everyone feel so welcomed and comfortable while we got ready together. Jenn also did two bridesmaids’ make up and two mothers’ make up for my wedding. Each girl LOVED their look! Additionally, not only did Jenn make sure everyone felt amazing, but she also made sure that I was eating and drinking water so I would feel my best. I cannot thank Jenn enough for bringing her knowledge and experience to make sure I was taken care of in all aspects! Jenn made me and my girls feel absolutely beautiful inside and outside for my wedding day. I highly recommend Jennifer to every bride out there!!!
I seriously don’t even know where to start other than by saying Jennifer is absolutely AMAZING! When I first started looking for a makeup artist for my wedding I thought it would b...
e extremely difficult, given I don’t wear a ton of makeup on a daily basis and the only makeup term I knew/wanted was “glowy”. I stumbled upon Jennifer’s instagram profile and immediately knew she HAD to be my makeup artist. But it gets better… because once I met her she immediately felt like a best friend! Jennifer is not only extremely talented at what she does, but she is also the sweetest person I’ve ever met. I had so much fun working with her and I will absolutely be using her for all makeup needs in the future. I was extremely nervous on the morning of my wedding and I couldn’t stop shaking from the adrenaline. The moment I sat in her chair I felt instant relief and a boost of confidence because of how much I trusted her and how beautiful she made me feel! Thank you SO much Jennifer!!!
Jennifer is the BEST!! My bridal hairstylist recommended JKO for my bridal makeup services, and man I am so grateful they did. Jennifer's work is classic, elegant, and timeless, an...
d she truly gave me the bridal makeup of my dreams.
From my trial session to the big day, Jennifer was a total joy to work with--she was patient, thoughtful, and really listened to what I was looking for, and delivered beyond anything I could have imagined! Not to mention, my face stayed put and flawless through HOURS of dancing, sweating, eating, and drinking. She also did a fantastic job on everyone in my bridal party, my mom, and the MOG; everyone still raves about her and how amazing she was. If you're looking for an incredibly talented, kind, and professional makeup artist for your big day (or any occasion, honestly), hire JKO now!
To say that Jennifer is one of my favorite people would be an understatement. I absolutely love and adore her!! She not only did my sisters wedding makeup but I have also had the p...
rivilege of working with her for other brides wedding days (I am a wedding photographer). So, when it was finally my turn to get married, I knew I wanted her to do my makeup. Truth be told, she was one of the first people I reached out to about their availability. Jennifer is so insanely talented. She cares so deeply about everyone she works with and has a true gift for making everyone look so beautiful but still like themselves. Not only that, she is one of the sweetest and kindest human beings I have ever met. It is inevitable that you are going to be a little stressed on the morning of your wedding day, but I kid you not the second Jennifer walked in the door I felt so much more relaxed. She is such a fun, bubbly, and kind soul. Her presence on a wedding day is just so calming and reassuring. I genuinely cannot refer her enough to everyone! You should all hire her because I promise you will not regret it!
P.S. I jumped in the pool at the end of the night with my now husband and my makeup still looked perfect! So, you know your makeup will look perfect no matter what happens when you hire her!! The iphone selfie was taken right after we jumped in and you can see my makeup still looks amazing!
Jennifer was amazing! Absolutely wonderful to be around. She made me feel so beautiful on my special day. She was very knowledgeable and worth every penny. So kind and loving. The ...
reviews you see that say JUST HIRE HER are absolutely right. HIRE HER. I went to two different make-up artists before finding her. She is amazing, just go to her first and save yourself the trouble! She will have you looking beautiful and natural.
Jennifer is absolutely amazing! She is by far the most talented make-up artist around. My wife and I had such an awesome time at the trial (lots of laughs!), and at the day of the ...
wedding (when we needed the lightheartedness and humor the most). Jennifer listens to what you want (even when you don’t speak make-up artist language) and finds a way to give you exactly what you need. We both felt incredibly comfortable around Jennifer and completely at ease. We were immediately confident she would do a great job - and she absolutely did!
Jennifer is absolutely amazing! She was delightful to work with from the booking process, through the trial and the wedding. She was super communicative and made everything about t...
he makeup portion a breeze! My ladies and I loved our makeup! She took the patience to listen to each of their needs / concerns and really highlighted their natural beauty. I couldn't have been happier. She was the sweetest!
I worked with Jennifer for my wedding on September 22nd, 2023 and I am so happy we did! Jennifer was so wonderful to work with! Leading up to the wedding, she was extremely respons...
ive over email, and for my makeup trial, she took a lot of time to talk everything through. The morning of the wedding, Jennifer and her second artist did an amazing job on my bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone was so pleased with their artistry and attention to detail. For my bridal makeup, Jennifer and I decided on a subtle look with just the right amount of glam. She was able to enhance all my favorite features in the best way, and the makeup application was top tier. I was so happy with how the makeup turned out, especially since it held up so well throughout the day and into the night. Thank you again, Jennifer!
I booked my wedding day hairstylist first and my hairstylist gave me a list of makeup artists they usually work with and Jennifer’s name was on that list and I would cry if I picke...
d someone else because Jennifer was AMAZING! From the very first email interaction I knew I was going to love her. She was extremely easy to talk to and made me feel like we were best friends from the start! My makeup trial sealed that feeling for me because we laughed and talked like we knew each other for years, she made me feel so relaxed and cared for and she listened to everything I wanted for my makeup! I love that she accentuates your features and doesn’t hide them and my entire wedding party loved her, my step mom even asked me for her information a few days later! We couldn’t get into my venue until 9am and I had a first look and she worked so well with that timeline. No one felt like she rushed through them and she made us all feel beautiful! I bought the lip liner, lip stick and lip gloss combo she used on me that day so I could do some touch ups after our first look and throughout the night and now I have the perfect lip color for myself on date nights! Also side note my makeup lasted all day long and I cried so much during our first look, nothing budged! I will recommend Jennifer to every single person that needs their makeup done! ~ The Sheaffer’s
I’m not exaggerating when I say you need to RUN to book with Jennifer! She is the sweetest, friendlist makeup artist who has such a talent to make those she works with feel so beau...
tiful on the most special days. I knew after I left my makeup trial that I was going to feel so beautiful on our wedding day. All of my bridesmaids, moms, and grandmothers said that Jennifer was a joy to work with. My makeup application lasted from 11am until 3am on Sunday morning! It lasted through so many tears and many smiles. Thank you so much, Jennifer!
If you’ve found this page and are considering Jennifer for your wedding you need to book her ASAP! I was in awe at how she made me lol and feel on m wedding day. She told me that h...
er goal is to highlight the bride’s natural beauty rather than change the way the bride looks entirely, and that’s exactly what I wanted and what she did. I felt beautiful and confident because of her amazing work! She was so fun to work with too and got to know me during my trial so that we’d have a good connection the day of the wedding. My mom and sisters were also so happy and looked beautiful! She does also have her own AWESOME makeup line and I was able to purchase lipstick and gloss for touch ups later. It’s currently my favorite lipstick and my new go to! Brides are often nervous that the makeup won’t stay all day/night - I didn’t wash off my makeup before bed (I know, not the best idea) but my makeup was FULLY intact the next morning! Highly highly highly recommend Jennifer!
Jennifer is without a doubt the absolute BEST! Not only is she the most talented makeup artist I’ve ever encountered, but she’s also so sweet & personable, makes you feel so comfor...
table and she’s very organized with communication and timelines leading up to your wedding and on the day of. She felt like a long time friend from the first time i met her.
I wear makeup regularly but am no expert by any means and before Jennifer I always hated getting my make up done professionally and never felt like myself. After extensively researching Instagram pages and wedding website reviews for makeup artists, I chose Jennifer and I am SO thankful I did!! She truly does make you look and feel like an elevated version of yourself. I was so impressed with my trial that I even decided to book her for my rehearsal dinner too! I wish I could hire her to do my makeup everyday 😂
It was so nice being confident beforehand that I would love my wedding makeup. Truly could not recommend Jennifer enough!!!
Jennifer is the real deal! I found Jennifer through some online and social media searching and was immediately drawn to her style. The consistently clean, natural, bridal looks tha...
t she produces are breathtaking. As someone who doesn’t wear much makeup normally, I wanted a look that wasn’t over the top but also reflected the beauty of the event. From our first meeting to our trial, she was so professional and detail oriented to ensure we had the same inspiration in mind. On our trial day, Jennifer took the time to sit and piece apart every single inspiration photo. I never thought to analyze an image in the way that she does. I left the trial absolutely in love with our final makeup look, excited to work with such a bubbly personality on the big day, and with a new education in makeup and my skin. On our wedding day, Jennifer was the first vendor I saw and to say she kicked off the enthusiasm of the day is an understatement. The immediate excited greeting and hug was such a great way to begin the day. Jennifer brought a second artist, given the size of our party and timeframe to get ready. I have been to weddings where it has been extremely clear that there were two different artists based on the discrepancies in styles on each person. Nicole and Jennifer were in step with the exact style we were looking for but tailoring it to each person’s colors and features. The makeup was perfect on everyone. Jennifer put together a touch-up kit and took the time to walk me through each product and teach me how to use them. I looked photo ready through the whole day thanks to her application and instruction on how to maintain it all. The beauty was the talk of the wedding. Many guests commented on the natural glam that she produced and how the looks lasted all night. At my trial, Jennifer took the time to photograph me with a professional camera. This was such a phenomenal thing to do as she was able to show me how the look would present on camera. She even had looked up my photographer and talked me through her lighting style and editing to discuss how the look would translate. She was one of the best investments for our wedding and I am so thankful for her skill and wonderful personality. She is the best hype woman on the big day!
Jennifer was the best makeup artist I have ever worked with! She made the whole process so smooth and accomplished the exact look I was hoping for. Definitely recommend!!
Jennifer was amazing to work with for my wedding makeup! After seeing the classic and elevated photos on Instagram, I knew that I needed to reach out. It was super easy to communic...
ate with Jennifer via email. She made my trial so easy and ensured that I felt good for the rest of the day in the makeup, especially my eyelashes. I (and my bridal party) felt incredible on my wedding day with the help of Jennifer! My makeup looked amazing and lasted all night even with all of my dancing! I would totally recommend Jennifer for a fantastic wedding experience!

ut having my makeup done - I don’t usually wear makeup and so I wanted to feel like myself while also having a full bridal-glam look. She somehow knew how to strike the perfect balance and made me look amazing. I’m so glad I did a trial with her because after working with her, I had full confidence that she would do an amazing job for every person in our party. She was able to adapt to everyone’s request and really make everyone feel their best. She is well-worth it and you will be very happy for booking her!
Jennifer is absolutely amazing! From the start she was professional, organized, and quick to get back to me with all my questions. I do not wear a lot of makeup, nor do I know much...
about makeup, and I couldn’t have picked a better makeup artist for my day. Jennifer was patient with me, gave her suggestions, and ultimately made me look beautiful and natural. My entire bridal party loved their makeup and it lasted the entire night for all of us!

ped me when scheduling conflicts arose, and made me feel so at ease. From my trial to my wedding day, I had SO much fun, my girls looked beautiful, and she made the whole atmosphere such a fun vibe. Jennifer made me feel so beautiful and confident all day long on my wedding day. I didn’t want to take it off! Her makeup touch up kit was so useful, I brought it with me on my honeymoon as well! She truly had such a big roll in helping make my wedding day so special.
When I found Jennifer's Instagram and portfolio, I knew she was the makeup artist I wanted on my wedding day! Every bride looked so natural and beautiful. Throughout the process, J...
ennifer was so communicative and helpful. I had the best time at my trial with her bubbly personality and it reassured me that I made the right decision. She took her time walking through everything she was doing and asked questions along the way to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I absolutely loved my makeup at the trial and on my wedding day. I felt like myself and beautiful. Not only is she super talented, but she has the absolute best personality!
Jennifer is amazing, to say the least. I’ll first start with the trail. Jennifer took the time to understand exactly the look I was going for. Which had to be challenging because I...
wasn’t even sure what I was thinking at the time. She took her time to explain everything and made me feel beautiful, the trail was like the ultimate girls handout session. Jennifer was quick to answer any and all questions I had, and promptly arrived for getting ready. Day of I was so anxious. Jennifer kept spirits high, even early in the morning. All of my bridesmaids looked their absolute best. I really appreciated that Jennifer actually took the time with each of the girls she did, to put on makeup that best suited their naturally beautiful features. I have been in many weddings before as a bridesmaid who I have felt got their makeup slapped on in 30 minutes because we were rushing and running out of time. Jennifer made sure to ensure there was enough time and no rushing was had. I made a slight change wedding day from my trail and Jennifer absolutely rocked it! I have never felt more beautiful. Thank you Jennifer, you are amazing. If you want to look and feel your best on your wedding day, make sure you book Jennifer IMMEDIATELY, she is so busy. I promise you, it will be worth it!
It is wild that Jennifer was my absolute favorite vendor, as I am pretty averse to make up. At best, I had never felt pretty wearing it, and at worst, I have felt like I look like...
a clown. Jennifer is so unbelievably talented that she doesn't seem have one signature style; it seems like she has absolutely mastered any style of make up one could possible want, from natural to glam and everything in between. I am in awe that Jennifer was able to make me feel beautiful in make up. Furthermore, I took a lesson with her and now I can do it myself! Besides being (I think) the absolute best make up artist in the business, Jennifer could not have been more delightful to work with. She is organized, communicative, collaborative, thoughtful, caring, and was very patient with me. She was genuinely a pleasure to spend time with as she is so sweet and funny. She brought such great energy the morning of my wedding and made everyone look absolutely stunning! There was not one clown-look in the bunch, which for me was a first! It was awesome that around the time of my wedding, she had just started selling her own lipstick, so my bridesmaids could buy it and refresh their lips throughout the night. They still have and love their lipsticks and so do I! I can't say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and needless to say, I highly recommend JKo Beauty.
I can not say enough good things about Jennifer!! Not only does she do the MOST INCREDIBLE job on makeup she is the sweetest person!! She did my makeup, my moms, and my 8 bridesmai...
ds makeup for my wedding day, and it was the best makeup we have all every seen!! My wedding was in April and six months later we’re all still talking about it! I went to Jennifer for a trial and I loved it then and when I reached out asking for some tweaks on my actual wedding day she was so nice and knew exactly what I wanted. My makeup was the perfect mix of glam and natural which is exactly what I wanted, and I feel so lucky to have been able to book Jennifer for my wedding day. She is the best!! No need to look further, because Jennifer is your girl! You won’t regret booking her!
When I saw Jennifer's work in Philly Mag and on Instagram, I knew she was the perfect person to have for my wedding makeup. After I spoke to her during our intro meeting over a yea...
r I ago, that further confirmed it for me. I immediately felt her genuine excitement and overall organization and knowledge. Jennifer is the perfect mix of the excited friend by your side on your wedding day and the consummate professional that you need on your wedding day to take the stress away. Not to mention she's extremely talented and knowledgeable. I have never felt more beautiful than how I felt on my wedding day, and the best part is - I still looked like myself!! I would recommend Jennifer 10/10 times to all brides and bridal parties. She is simply the best!
When I found JKo Beauty and saw her previous work on prior brides, I just knew that it would be the perfect match for what I was looking for in a makeup artist. Jennifer is one of ...
the sweetest people and has such a bright, fun personality! She radiates positive vibes and I was so happy to have her presence while we were getting ready for the big day. During my trial, she got to know my preferences by asking questions and listening. She offered suggestions and explained everything during it all, which was so helpful. I was looking for something light and romantic with a hint of shimmer, and she hit the nail on the head with the makeup look she created for me. I felt so confident and beautiful with my makeup on my wedding day because it made me feel like an elevated version of myself and my then fiancé, now husband absolutely loved it! I literally could go on and on about how wonderful Jennifer was. She is so knowledgeable and is so good at what she does that from the moment I booked her to when we finished getting ready, I was so happy that I had met her and got to work with her!
You need to have Jennifer when getting ready! Not only is she amazing at makeup, her positive energy and vibe will ease any stress on your wedding day! I've been in bridal parties ...
before and had some concerns about makeup feeling heavy and also the timeline. Jennifer and her assistant were able to get everyone done on time without feeling rushed! I absolutely loved my wedding makeup as Jennifer kept it natural but added touches of glam to it. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day!
I found Jennifer through my wedding photographer who used her for her own big day! Jennifer is so authentic, passionate, professional, and absolutely AMAZING at what she does! The ...
list goes on and on. She nailed my vision for makeup as well as every single one of my bridesmaids- all ranging from no makeup to heavy makeup kind of girls. She truly made me feel so relaxed on my wedding day and my makeup lasted all. night. long. I got sooo many compliments, even at the end of the night after hours of dancing. I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer to anyone wanting to feel like the most beautiful version of themselves on their wedding day. She is worth every penny & then some! & don't miss out on the touch up kit! It saved the night for my red lip and I was able to eat & drink happily without worrying about it! Thank you, Jennifer!
I could write a novel on how amazing Jennifer is. She was so helpful from the moment I met her at my trial to my wedding day. I came to her with ideas on how I thought I wanted my ...
makeup and she helped me through what was actually best for my skin complexion. On my wedding day she did the make up for my entire bridal party and they all looked incredible. Jennifer stayed right up to my ceremony and she became more of a bridal attendant than the one we had. She had tissues for when I cried, she fixed my train multiple times, the touch ups were amazing, she helped glue a part of my dress that kept flapping … everything she did was incredible that we called her our fairy godmother. And on top of all that, her personality is 1000/10. Seriously, run don’t walk to hiring her!
Where to even begin?! The makeup Jennifer did for me was one of the best parts of my wedding day - I felt beautiful, fresh, confident, and most importantly, like myself!
She is ...
excellent at natural beauty and enhancing your features, so I would recommend her to every bride, but especially those who don't usually wear a ton of makeup and want a more natural look. That said, she can totally go glam if that's your style!
At our trial she took her time to walk me through the look she was creating and check in with me along the way. I was especially appreciative of her knowledge and empathy when I had an allergic reaction and had to be super careful with the makeup I was using! Even on the wedding day she used her notes of the products I was using to ensure there was no risk of flare up.
Simply put, HIRE JENNIFER! She is professional, warm, extremely talented, and will be a total blast on one of the biggest days of your life!
Jennifer is amazing! Not only is she incredibly talented but she is so kind, professional, charismatic, and caring. It’s obvious she loves what she does, as it translates into her ...
amazing work. From my makeup lesson, to my trial, to my wedding day, she made me feel like a million bucks. In February 2022, I scheduled a makeup lesson with her. I learned so much about skin care and everyday makeup looks. We used products I already had, and she also sent me home with guides and a list of products and brushes to add to my makeup collection. I learned SO much and use what she taught me while I get ready almost every day. I felt like a princess during my wedding day preview/trial in June 2022. I left my trial feeling like the most beautiful woman and it made me so genuinely excited for my wedding day look. On the morning of my wedding day, Jennifer nailed it again. My makeup (as well as the makeup for my mom and sister – I didn’t have bridesmaids) was flawless and lasted all day. I was so sad to wash my face at the end of the night. Jennifer is truly so wonderful to work with and be around - I feel like she has become a friend, and I cant wait for another special event so I can have her do my makeup once again. Jennifer also has her own line of makeup called JKoBeauty and WOW!! These products are amazing!! I have her lip liner, lipstick, lipgloss, blush, bronzer, and eyeliner. The products last all day, go on flawlessly, and I find they are much better quality than the makeup lines available in Sephora and Ulta. I highly recommend JKoBeauty for your wedding day!!!

ng makeup trial and talking through my ideas with her, she was very receptive, I definitely recommend setting up a trial so your wedding day will be a breeze. Thank you Jennifer!!
I could not be happier with my choice in Jennifer for wedding makeup! Not only does she seriously know her stuff but she is an absolute artist! I am not a big makeup wearer, and Je...
nnifer executed making me feel like the most fabulous version of myself, (while still looking like me) on my wedding day! She brings the best energy to the room, but is also super professional. I had 9 bridesmaids myself and MOB& MOG so it was a big group but we were perfectly timed with spare time for lips/touch ups. Jennifers presence and her work made the morning so fun and everyone was so happy with their makeup. The moms and all the girls got compliments all day/night long on how amazing their makeup looked/held up and now say the pictures from the day are the best they've every looked thanks in part to her! Do yourself a favor and book Jennifer for your makeup, you won't regret it!
Jen is the best there is! She will bring out your natural beauty all while making you feel pampered, at ease and wanting her to be your bff! Thank you Jen for everything! There are...
not enough words to express my gratitude for you and your team! Me, my bridesmaids, my mom & mother in law just adore you!!
Jennifer is the absolute BEST! I am so thankful that I had her as my makeup artist for my wedding day. From the makeup trial to the day of my wedding she was so caring, thoughtful,...
organized, professional, and of course EXTREMELY talented. Everyone loved their makeup looks so much! She made all of us feel so comfortable and beautiful. Jen’s fun and calm personality really helped calm my nerves on wedding day. I would recommend her to any bride!!
Jennifer is the epitome of professionalism and a wonderful makeup artist! I could not have picked anyone better for my day.
It was so important to me that I looked and felt like ...
a more polished version of my usual self and she executed flawlessly. My bridesmaids and my mother all looked and felt beautiful as well. My mother, who I have never seen wear more than a bit of under eye concealer, loved her makeup so much that she wore it for two days!
She was prompt on arrival and managed the flow and timeline perfectly.
Plus, she's the absolute sweetest ever and brought such a positive vibe to the morning!
Thank you, Jennifer!
Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most genuine and kindest people, which made working with her for such an important day all the more fun and enjoyable! While weddi...
ng planning was a little stressful at times, I knew makeup was one thing I did not have to stress about once I found Jennifer. From our initial emails up until our wedding day, Jennifer was quick and easy to communicate with and she expressed genuine excitement to work together which I really appreciated. I was able to meet Jennifer in the fall for my makeup trial and I planned it to be on the same day as our engagement photos. I am usually very skeptical when it comes to getting my makeup done and I tend to always leave not feeling like myself and not loving the look. However, when I left Jennifer's studio on the day of my trial, I felt so beautiful and truly like myself. Throughout the trial, Jennifer was attentive, she listened to my vision, she explained her process and the products she would be using, we discussed things I liked and didn't like and she made sure to note everything for wedding day. She was extremely detailed and was not going to let me leave there until I was satisfied! I could not have asked for a better experience. Not only was it such a fun day spending time with Jennifer in her amazing studio but the entire process was stress free and my makeup looked flawless as well. I left feeling confident and amazing for my engagement photos and I had no doubt that Jennifer would make me feel equally if not more beautiful on wedding day. And she absolutely did! On the day of our wedding, Jennifer and her assistant were on time and ready to go. They made the morning so enjoyable and relaxing. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful for the wedding and their makeup lasted up until the very end of the night! That all being said, there is a reason that Jennifer has been named Best Makeup Artist for several years now- Jennifer is the real deal. She is an incredible business owner, she has many years of experience in the industry, she is professional, organized, personable and so talented at what she does. I really loved getting to work with Jennifer for my wedding and I cannot recommend JKo Beauty enough!!
Jennifer exceeded my expectations. She is so kind, a professional, and true artist! She spent so much time getting to know me during my makeup trial and brow apts prior to my weddi...
ng. She also was so sweet and put my mom to ease during my mom’s makeup trial. She got to my venue early, finished work in a timely manor- actually ahead of schedule! and truly was a part of making my morning special. The second makeup artist she brought with her, Seth, was also so talented and kind. My makeup looked flawless all night. My mom had guests tell her that everyone looked so natural and beautiful and my bridesmaids took selfies of themselves to show other makeup artists at future events as an example of what they want to look like. Everyone looked like the best version of themselves. Jennifer was a vendor I got to know and trust, and I’m so grateful to have to have worked with her. She is everything and more I could have wished for in a makeup artist!
And btw- her lip collection is amazing- the best colors and product
Jennifer is absolutely amazing! I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by her twice before my wedding (engagement photos and trial). I have never been a huge makeup person, I...
’ve always worn the bare minimum. Jennifer knows how to make anyone and everyone feel comfortable wearing makeup. She talked me through everything she did and made me feel so beautiful each time! She is the most kind, genuine and bubbly person you will ever meet as well as an exceptional makeup artist! I enjoyed every second of my time with Jennifer and now I even wear more makeup when I go out because of her. My mom loved her so much she wants to come back to PA for a private makeup lesson with Jennifer. My wedding day makeup was so beautiful and lasted literally until I woke up the next day. Everyone should hire Jennifer for their wedding makeup, I promise you it will be the best decision you make!
