Joelle's make-up artistry is incredible - I've never felt more beautiful in my entire life than on my wedding day.
She is a perfectionist in the best way; not stopping until your make-up is absolutely perfect in every way possible.
I knew Joelle was the right artist to use for my wedding, when after the make-up trial with her, I went to the mall and two strangers commented on how beautiful my make-up was!
She is so caring and kind as well, taking into account little things that I wanted changed. She also stayed onsite at my venue for the personal vows (I warned her I cry a lot!) so she could touch up my make up before the ceremony.
Thank you Joelle for my wedding make up perfection!!

This review is LONG overdue.
Joelle Riga is not only one of the best makeup artists I’ve been with, but her attention to detail is unmatched. She comes from a long line of experienced makeup artists and she truly holds her own. When I tell you I got my makeup done at 10am on my wedding day, and by 1am the next morning it was still flawless. I danced, I cried, I sweat, I didn’t sit down all night and my makeup was on point. She is absolutely the best. Her makeup sessions take roughly 2 hours but it’s worth every second. I didn’t have a single person who didn’t complement me on my makeup at the end of the night. She listened to what I wanted, to my suggestions. And she DELIVERED. 1000/10 would hire Joelle again for any event.

Joelle is extremely talented n thorough when doing makeup. She asks what style you are comfortable with whether light n natural or heavy makeup styles and delivers as promised. She is a perfectionist with the makeup n triple checks to make sure every angle is perfect. She spent 2 hours on my makeup and my sister, cousin as well as myself received numerous compliments on our makeup that night.
