Kiss & Makeup, makeup studio Tahoe

Let me just say, WOW. I have never successfully had my makeup professionally done where I loved it. I don't wear a lot of makeup normally so wearing heavier makeup doesn't usually do well with me and I am in general, just very picky. Needless to say, I was nervous going into my trial with Jen. However, from the moment I walked in, Jen was confident, knowledgeable, and did an AMAZING job. Day of my wedding, Jen arrived early and did my mom's makeup (which looked absolutely beautiful) and offered to help with flowers or whatever else we needed until I was ready. Without notice, she agreed to do my Maid of Honor's makeup and my grandmother's makeup and did a stunning job on both of them. We so appreciated her flexible attitude and just general upbeat deamenor. She did an absolutely perfect job on my makeup and hit the perfect balance of glamour but not overdone. She was quick, efficient, fun to be around, and totally calming (which is always a positive day of)! I truly cannot recommend Jen enough.

Jen is amazing. For a natural but stunning look that stays all night, there's no one I'd recommend more. I had to be convinced to get my makeup professionally done, because every prior experience was bad. I'm a redhead, so it can quickly go wrong. But Jen was a wizard, listening to my concerns and mixing products to not only perfectly match my coloring, but also keep me hydrated, not oily, even out my skintone, stay all night long, and look natural (that was a big one for me). I felt so incredibly comfortable and happy with her after my trial run, and she worked with me on every little tweak I had. I also appreciated that she took the time to make my mom and grandmother happy, because they are also not traditionally big makeup people, but they looked natural and felt good. She has a makeup line too, and I absolutely plan on buying some of her products because she knows her stuff.

Jen was so professional and helpful from the start. I knew I wanted to use her to do my makeup but she also helped me with some suggestions for people to do my hair. I really like when professionals give their recommendations for other vendors as they have worked with them before and know who is best. Anyway, Jen really listened to what I wanted my makeup to look like and it turned out flawless! I got so many complements on my makeup at my wedding. And she was amazing with my mom, MIL, matron of honor and SIL. Everyone looked gorgeous but not overdone. Plus, Jen was so nice and easy to get along with too! Thank you Jen for everything!

Jen is beyond amazing. Her energy is absolutely what you want around you on your wedding day! I was so nervous about getting my makeup done because I don't wear much on a daily basis & I have had experiences in the past with others where it was too much and I didn't feel like myself... but Jen reassured me on our first phone call & I immediately adored her vibe & energy. The trial run was perfection.. and the wedding day was even better. I do photography for a living & I can not wait to work with her from that end!! I can't imagine going to anyone else for my wedding day. She blew me away! Not to mention.. she made my mother & mother in law feel absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much Jen!!!

Jen was absolutely amazing. She has a gift of enhancing your natural beauty without making you look too done-up. She's also very fast, which I will admit I was a little skeptical about, but it's really because she's so skilled and works so efficiently. She did the make-up for me (bride), my mom, and 6 bridesmaids and everyone looked amazing. I would definitely recommend her to any bride.

Serious professional! Amazing go with the flow demeanor! Perfect make up! Recommend forever to everyone!

Jen was the makeup artist we used for my daughters wedding. We chose her because she was the top recommended professional in the area - and we weren’t disappointed! I would recommend her 100%.

Jen did the wedding make up for me, all my bridesmaids, mother and mother in law. We couldn’t have been happier with her professionalism and results. I would recommend Jen to anyone. She helped make the day and memories enjoyable and smooth. I give all stars!!!

If you want to ensure that you look your best on your wedding day, then do not hesitate to contact Jen! She intuitively understands how to enhance anyone’s facial features and make all of your features pop. Jen not only gave me that bridal glow, but she made me feel so incredibly beautiful. Everyone complimented me all night!

Jen was GREAT!!! She did an amazing job on my makeup, as well as on my bridesmaids. Everyone was super happy. I was absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Jennifer was amazing. She took the look I wanted and made it even better than I could have expected. I wanted all natural and it was not overdone at all, like most makeup artists try to do. She is great, and I'll recommend her to anyone getting married in the area!

Jennifer did a phenomenal job with the makeup at our wedding! She was especially good at doing everyone's makeup in a way that best suited them. She was so nice, easy going, all around wonderful. Highly recommend Kiss And Makeup!

Jen is amazing! She amplifies natural beauty, knowing just the right amount of makeup to put on without making it look like too much. Jen is very easy to work with, she works quickly and efficiently but it willing to take all the time to make sure your look is what you want. I would gladly and without hesitation work with Jen again.

I booked Jen to do my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with the job that she did! I don’t wear too much makeup normally and felt so worried that whoever I ended up booking would overdo it and I wouldn’t feel like myself on my wedding day. But she completely got what I wanted! It felt like a better version of my normal makeup which I loved and it looked beautiful in the pictures. Not too much but just enough to stand out. She did 5 of my Bridesmaids’ makeup as well and every one of them was happy with their makeup too. She was also very quick! Just goes to show she knows what she is doing. I am so happy I used Jen for our wedding!

Jen did an amazing job with my makeup and even made her schedule flexible for us in order to get it done. I wanted to have a natural look, but still feel a little extra beautiful for the wedding day, and she nailed it. She's been doing makeup for a long time, is quick, efficient, and knows exactly what to do. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their makeup artist!

I also was in email communication with Jen. She is fabulous, again my bridal party was rather large, and she was able to get everyone taken care of with out rushing the process and giving my ladies the proper attention they wanted. I really didn't have a particular idea of what I wanted and I ended up being so crazed that I miss our trial, but what she ended up doing was perfect.

Jennifer was amazing. I don't normally wear make-up, so she kept everything natural, light & summery! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to Jen!

Jennifer was very professional. She did the makeup for the entire wedding party. Most of us wear little or no make up, and she did a great job doing makeup that we looked good and felt comfortable in.
