Just Gorgeous! By Jessica

etting ready with a friend! She is so talented and really heard what we all wanted and had us looking our best all day! The make-up lasted from 7:30-past 1am for everyone, and that is through the eating, dancing, and snow we had! I was so impressed with her work, and the best part is I still looked like me. Something that really speaks to Jessica is while I was getting make-up done I started to feel a little overwhelmed and she picked up on it right away, got me some water, and reminded me that it was going to be a great day! Talk about above and beyond! She also was super patient as I continually forgot to not look-up or keep my eyes closed when she asked. I would recommend Jessica for all and any events. She really is the best!

nly is she super sweet, but she is an amazing professional as well and you can tell that she loves doing her job! Thank you Jessica :)

to work with my requests; She nailed it! The day of the wedding she was on time and ready to go even at our early scheduled hour. Jessica is kind and genuine and makes you feel beautiful just the way you are. Her work was flawless. On the day of our wedding, she did makeup for me as well as 4 of my bridesmaids and we all looked amazing. I would hire Jessica a million times over!!!

wanted for my wedding. She is so genuine and professional. She made me so comfortable I felt like I was talking to my best friend. From my makeup trial to my wedding makeup, along with my bridal party including my Mom, my Mother in Law’s makeup everyone looked absolutely AMAZING! We all looked spectacular, confident and got constant compliments. Our airbrushing was on point, eyes, and our lashes just knocked it out of the park. I HIGHLY recommend Jessica, and I will 100% be looking for her talents again for any future events. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jessica, you made all of us feel like princesses ❤️❤️

of what shadows I wanted and a vision of how I wanted my eyes to look. She went above and beyond on matching my dreams! I never felt more beautiful! She was so happy to be there, loves what she does and made us all feel so comfortable.

circumstances and did amazing work. She was gentle and applied airbrushing, mascara, and lashes with ease in a way that made me and the others in the bridal party look natural, yet gorgeous. I have had makeup done for 8 weddings now, and out of them all, Jessica is one of my favorite makeup artists in the Chicago area.

foundation would match my skin with the airbrush. Besides being majorly talented, her warm personality made it super comfortable and relaxing! :) Iven never felt more beautiful.

oking for - we all had different feelings when it came to make-up, and she adapted to everyone's personalities and desires to give them their perfect look. Doing a trial in advance with Jessica was very helpful to make sure we were ready to go the day of the wedding. She was extremely easy to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone!

ed all day and night and still looked flawless after tears, dancing and hundreds of pictures. I opted for non-air brush foundation and couldn't have been happier with the products she used. She was also flexible on the number of bridesmaids who got their make up done, squeezing in the MoB last minute when she changed her mind and wanted her make up done. I would highly recommend using Jessica.

hat she isn't "pushy." She will truly do whatever you like and she will make you look fabulous! :) I would recommend Jessica to any bride. She isn't only exceptional but also professional and accommodating.

ure I'd feel comfortable the day of my wedding. I took every single one of her recommendations and I'm glad I did. She airbrushed my foundation the day of and my skin looked flawless in pictures. She asked questions along the way to ensure that my makeup looked exactly the way I wanted it to. My recommendation is to leave it up to Jessica. She is a true professional - she arrived early and made sure she had enough time to complete my makeup, leaving me feeling completely stress-free. She also made my mom and bridal party feel beautiful that day. Jessica, I couldn't have done it without you. You will be doing my makeup for all future events. I've already shared your contact information with my friends. You're amazing!

wedding four years ago. After standing up in several weddings, and having had my makeup done by several different artists, the makeup done by her has always been my favorite. So, I was thrilled when she was available for my own wedding. Even without a trial (I had to cancel it due to my own busy schedule), Jessica nailed exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding day makeup. My bridesmaids all agreed that Jessica and her team were awesome! She was professional, sweet, and talented! I'm excited that one of my bridesmaids has booked her for her own wedding this spring. Thanks, Jessica!!

ey were never orange, and my hands (which are always the scary part, right?!) always looked so natural! Jessica also did the make-up for my wedding. She did my bridal make-up, as well as make-up for my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. She was able to accommodate last minute additions into the make-up schedule, and was able to match everyone's make up styles and colors perfectly. I was so impressed with her work! She made everyone look absolutely stunning, and more importantly, she made everyone feel comfortable, beautiful, and relaxed while doing so. Jessica does not make you feel like she is more important than you, or like she is judging you. If you have ideas for your own make-up, she honors them, and if you have no idea at all, she has wonderful ideas to share! She feels like one of your bff's just hanging out doing your make up for fun, and that made my wedding day so much more special. Thank you, Jessica for being a part of my special day!

ears. She was the first person I thought of for makeup when I got engaged, and she did not disappoint! She was so friendly and really listened to what my bridesmaids (and me) wanted their makeup to look like. Her airbrushing and lashes made us look flawless! I definitely had some tears in the beginning of the day, after my Jessica had done my makeup, but the makeup held perfectly all day long. She truly made all of us look gorgeous! I could not have asked for a more talented person to do our makeup on my wedding day!

or calls for confirmation. It seems as if she fell off the face of the planet, even after I signed my contract. Unfortunately, I am off to find a new make-up artist...

elf (MOB). She communicated make up suggestions and was open to suggestions we had. She offered air brush as well as fake eyelashes. On the wedding day she was professional and on time. She brought an assistant the day of the wedding to accommodate the bridal party. We were all very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Jessica's make up services.

perience - she was professional and also personal, we ended up trading restaurant tips. 100% recommend her!

anning my wedding from out of town and she helped find a time that was convenient for me to meet and do my trial. Jessica is a perfectionist and it really shows in your final look. She arrived early on the day of my wedding and was on schedule the entire day. My bridesmaids loved her and I had many guests comment on the beautiful make up that she did. For a very sweet make up artist that you can depend on I would definitely recommend Jessica!

he came to my house for the trial because I work and could not make it out by her and come the wedding day she was on time and everyone loved their makeup! The day of the wedding I decided to do my makeup a little different than we did at the trial and she was very helpful and wanted to make sure I was totally happy and my makeup looked awesome! Thank you so much Jessica, you were a pleasure to work with!

e chosen. She did a make up trial with me a few months before the wedding and walked through everything with me, my mom, and bridesmaids. She cared 100% of the results and was extremely clear with what she was going to do the day of. She cared about my overall day and wanted me to look perfect as well. She was comfortable to work with as well. She completed my makeup, my mom's, and my bridesmaids as well. We were all thrilled with the results and in our pictures we look glowing. Feel free to contact me personally if you would like me to share a picture of her work as well. If you are debating on your makeup artist, choose Gorgeous by Jessica!

p (Maid of Honor), and my mom's makeup and I don't think the three of us have ever looked more gorgeous. We also got spray tans with Jessica before the big day and our skin was glowing! I chose to use Jessica for my wedding day because every review I read raved about her services. I love her website and her portfolio; she perfectly masters the natural look, but can go as dramatic as you'd like too. I told her I wanted my green eyes to really pop and she used medium brown tones with a touch of purple to do just that. I loved the way I looked and I had never felt more beautiful before that day! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

wledgeable about using natural products. One thing I really liked that was unique about her was that instead of just saying "ok look down" or "move your head here" she always added please at the end! It was cute. She's a really calm and pleasant presence on the big day and leading up to it!

it was easy to tell how professional and friendly she was. We met for a consultation and she was absolutely wonderful about listening to what I wanted and envisioned for my makeup on the day of my wedding. I am not very experienced with make up and I told Jessica this during our consultation so that she would know that I was really trusting her to make the best decisions for my face while encompassing what I felt I wanted for my big day. I am so very grateful that I chose Jessica to do my makeup and my bridesmaids’. We met for a makeup trial at her house and I brought one of my bridesmaids with me. Jessica was a great host and I felt very comfortable being there with her. The whole process leading up till the wedding was completely stress free thanks to her. I could not have felt more beautiful than the day of my wedding. Jessica came to the house where my bridesmaids and I were getting ready to do our makeup. Everything was timed and planned out beforehand and she was very prompt on her arrival and finished at exactly the right time. I look flawless in all of my photos and am in awe of the magnificent job she did with, not only me, but with my bridesmaids as well. Each one of them looked amazing. Anyone looking for a fantastic makeup artist should definitely go to Jessica!

for! All the bridesmaids loved their makeup and enjoyed working with Jessica. She even gives you tips on doing your own makeup and how to get it to look like she does it! If you can try the false eyelashes.....they looked amazing on everyone but still natural and they lasted well into the next day! I would definitely go back to Jessica for any other events I have and would recommend her to all my friends.

used her now three times, twice as a bridesmaid and once as a bride and each time I've used her, everyone was thrilled with the job that she did. I chose her because she perfectly masters the natural look, but can go as dramatic as you'd like too. I told her I wanted neutrals, but that on my eyes I like a big contrast between dark brown in the crease and white toward the inside, and she did exactly what I had in mind on the first try. It was exactly what I wanted, I loved it!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for makeup, she is so versatile. She does air brush and false lashes that look amazing.

r hair dressers. Our makeup looked fantastic (in person and in the photos); beautiful but not overdone. It also lasted all night. Even after a night of dancing, my eye makeup especially still looked AMAZING! SO glad we got to work with her :)

ing! No orange, no streaks, and she makes you feel really comfortable. All of my bridesmaids and mother and mother-in-law RAVED about their makeup and all looked so beautiful. Jessica is the sweetest and most flexible to accommodate ur schedule. Very professional and talented! I wear makeup everyday so I wanted to look different but still stay true to how I do my makeup - she went above and beyond and I could not have been more happy with how I looked on my wedding day. I will be using her services again in the future and will continue to refer her to all my lady friends. Amazing job, Jess!!!

done and matched my eyes and dress beautifully! She listened to what I wanted and made sure that I was comfortable with everything she did. I was so happy with the way she did everything and felt beautiful for homecoming. Jessica is super sweet and truly wants everyone to look beautiful and feel good about themselves on their special occasions. I would recommend Jessica to anybody!

.....gorgeous! We would have paid considerably more for the phenomenal work she did and how she got through us all, with the outstanding quality, I will never know. I highly recommend Jessica if you want to be the most lovely bride in exactly the style you request whether it's light and natural or heavier and eye catching. She's the right person for any time in your life that you want to look your best. I don't think I can upload a picture here to show you the proof, but there is no question who I will be calling for my next big event. Try her you'll love her. She's amazing.

veryone got tons of compliments. She listened to each girls' preferences and style and did their make up accordingly. Everyone was very happy with the end result. Jess can make you look stunning on your big day!

ust were not worth the outrageous price tag and then I tried another freelance artist who was just not very professional (used pencil liner and I'm pretty sure I do my own everyday makeup better). Then I found Jessica through he Knot and have since referred her to two of my friends for their weddings (both of whom work in the beauty industry so they are even pickier than I am). Jessica is so talented and knows just what she's doing, but it's also like having your good friend do your makeup. She is such a calming presence on your wedding day, which is just what I needed (not to mention my makeu looked amazing). I cannot recommend Jessica enough and will continue to do so as my friends get married in Chicago!

radiant. I always knew Jess embodied style from head to toe, but she completely blew me away on my big day. She listened to my desires and brought out the best in my natural qualities. Not only was she able to make me feel glamorous, but she also took care of four of my bridesmaids all while keeping me relaxed and comfortable. If you are looking for someone with incredible skills, a calming spirit, and a pure passion to share in your excitement on your big day, JUST CHOOSE JESS!

hat she does because she has a passion for making women feel beautiful! Prices are fair, she always shows up early and she genuinely listens to your wishes for make up on your wedding day!

away so excited for the real deal the day of my wedding. I've been in 6 weddings before and had various beauty sessions but none like hers. She made my entire wedding party glow even more than they usually do and made me feel like a goddess. She is worth every penny and really loves what she does. I want more reasons and excuses to have her do my makeup again. Jessica is a true professional and cares about her work and the people she works on. Best "vendor" I've ever used. Thanks miss Jessica!!!

and just a joy to work with! She is so sweet and really has an eye for making people look like their best self...my bridal party had a variety of beautiful women with different skin types and ethnicity and Jess was able to flawlessly make them all look unbelievable. I was a bridesmaid in another wedding that Jess did recently and once again had a great experience with her! I have recommended her to all of my friends and hope to see her at more events!

make up artist I have ever had! I have gotten my makeup done in a lot of my friends weddings but none have done as great of a job as Jessica. She truly cares about what she does and it shows. I love the I looked like myself on my wedding day, but a very glamorous. And best of all my eyelashes stayed on all night which has never happened with false lashes before. Jessica is worth every penny and more!

g sure each person was 100% happy. I loved the way my make up looked and it helped to make the day perfect.

Jessica made sure that I was perfectly okay with everything she did step by step and if I wanted something changed it was no big deal. She was so well prepared and I loved the fact that she was early showing up, that is huge for me, I love when people are on time! She is an incredible artist and I cannot thank her enough for how beautiful she made my big day!

e to our wedding location on time and finished both our makeup on time. She was very calm and professional and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend her. Much more personal than going to a salon.
