Lilly’s Bridal Hair and Makeup

heir amazing work. So so talented!! Love you ladies!!

the sweetest person you will ever meet, and her talented team were so fun to work with. I highly recommend you book LBHM for your wedding hair and makeup! Thank you again for everything LBHM team, forever grateful 🤍

d when we were getting ready! She and the team did an AMAZING job making everyone look their best for my special day. We were down an artist due to a personal emergency and she still ensured we got everyone covered and finished according to schedule, which was amazing. I cannot recommend Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup enough!

and answer questions quickly. Thank you so much for your flexibility, great communication, and reliability! We would recommend Lilly and her team 100%.

s and feedback on what she thinks would look best (without being pushy!) The team will do everything they can to make sure you're happy with your looks. Lily was so patient with me when i had a million questions or would second guess what i wanted the day of. Highly recommend Lily and her team! :) (Vendor communication was also top notch as well! Planning a wedding isn't the easiest and having vendors who are so communicative is SUCH a plus!)

girls were so much fun to spend our morning of the wedding with, and all of my girls looked flawless! I cant imagine trusting the biggest day of my life with anyone else - I felt so beautiful! Already recommended my friend to book for her wedding, and plan to tell anyone else the second they get engaged to try to score Lilly's team - they're booking up quick!

thin and frizzy but she was able to make my updo look full and smooth. Lilly and Heather also made my bridesmaids, mom, and grandma look fabulous! They are great with different types of hair and skin. They were very patient with my mom and grandma who had never had their hair or makeup done before and made them feel beautiful. I would recommend Lilly and her team to any bride!

rial and the day of the wedding. I ended up requesting a few changes from my trial and Lilly nailed it - I have literally never felt so beautiful. I wish she could do my hair and make up every day. My bridesmaids also looked stunning and had nothing but great things to say about Lilly and Jenny. Hair and make up made it through the whole day looking great for both me and my bridesmaids and the moms. I would 100000% recommend this team to anyone and everyone. Thanks for everything, Lilly and team!

es with Covid and a couple changes leading up to it that they worked with me on. Lilly was so calm with me while I was freaking out before the ceremony over all the set up for the ceremony and reception. I don't think I would have been as patient with me but she was amazing. I highly recommend them!!!

d really appreciated her communication leading up to the big day especially with changes that occurred on both ends due to Covid and needing to reschedule my wedding.

back, offered suggestions, and incorporated all changes, communicated honestly and frequently. Being a COVID bride with a postponed wedding, my experience moving the wedding with Lilly was one of the most seamless experiences! She is so understanding and real- I felt truly taken care of. Finally, their work is top knotch with competitive pricing. High quality products, they are able to do so many different hairstyles beautifully, and makeup is flawless. Hair and makeup stayed in tact all day for all of us, even in over 90 degree weather and humidity, until 1am! Thank you, Lilly and team! Cannot recommend you all enough. 💗💗💗

ly pumping us up and their energy was contagious! They truly transformed my entire bridal party and me to feel like the most beautiful and confident versions of ourselves. We could not be more thankful for them and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

and guidelines. I had Lilly and she was absolutely fantastic. She did a superb job on my hair and makeup for my big day and I am so thankful I found her. I went in with minimal expectations as I was a bit unsure of what I wanted and she blew it out of the park. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to LBHM.

well in advance of wedding day. They helped coordinate my trial and nailed the look I was aiming for on their first try (hair and makeup). They were also open to feedback and asked many questions to ensure I had the exact look I desired for my big day. Planning a wedding through COVID circumstances in 2020 was challenging, but it was much easier working with the LBHM team. They created best practices and over communicated to their couples far in advance to ensure we could prepare for our trials and wedding day in a safe way. On wedding day, Lilly, Heather, and Eliza walked in and warmed up our whole party. They jumped right into our group's wedding day celebration and made it even more fun. They were warm, welcoming, and made sure everyone (me the bride, my bridesmaids, maids of honor, and mom) was 100% excited about their hair and makeup look. Lilly, Heather, and Eliza had the right experience and skillset to customize all of our makeup and hair to our slight unique styles...so we all looked uniform but had a look that fit each of us best. They also kept our group safe by taking safe hygiene preacuations and wearing their masks for hours while they did our hair and makeup, helping our small group feel comfortable. They were so much fun that we were almost sad to see them go once we finished getting ready! My hair and makeup lasted the entire day and they gave me little lipstick samples to ensure I could look my best the entire evening. If you are looking to invest in your look on the one day of a zillion pictures and you want to work with a service-oriented, organized, proactive, and fun group, then work with LBHM! Can't say enough about this wonderful team and will definitely give them a call for any other future big events around Chicago.

ince it was an outdoor wedding and so humid out. Thanks again LBHM💕

lly and her team were great with communication along the way and her pricing/packaging is very reasonable!! They did an amazing job and all my bridesmaids were happy with their hair and makeup looks! I can't wait to work with her again next year for our postponed reception date!

of her team came to help out because there were 7 additional bridesmaids getting glammed up. Everything was perfect every single day! When I started looking for makeup and hair artists, I was overwhelmed. As an Indian bride, I did not want to have a typical Indian bridal look (generally this involves heavier makeup). Most of the makeup artists I looked into who had done Indian weddings previously had heavier bridal looks; but I knew these artists knew how to handle the tikka, heavy bridal jewelry, and the heavy embroidered veil. I was torn. I came across LBHM through a mutual friend, and I knew I loved the makeup and hairstyles; however, I was worried of the lack of experience with Indian brides. When I first contacted Lilly, she was very straightforward with me; she let me know that she had never done a traditional Indian wedding before. However, I knew she was determined to learn! She let me know that she would be taking a class for Indian veil and tikka placement; and we would be able to perfect everything at my trial. I trusted her, and it was the best decision I ever made!!!! Lilly knew exactly what pins to use for my veil. Even with the heavy flower garland around my neck, the hair, and veil stayed in place! She helped pin my jewelry so that also wouldn’t move. She knew to use eyelash glue to make sure all of our tikkas didn’t move during our garba (dancing event) night. Elisa’s makeup was amazing as well; it stayed on for hours even through all the dancing, sweating, rain, and crying. At the end of the day, it looked the same as it did when she had first put it on. On top of that, it doesn’t even feel like we had makeup on for 4 days straight; the products she uses are great and make your skin feel hydrated. Additionally, they were so accommodating with our time schedules every single day and the styles we wanted. There would be changes we made with the styles we wanted; they never made it seem like it was a big deal. On top of that, she was super organized; we had 11 people getting ready including myself for a target time of 7AM on my wedding day. Lilly and Elisa are very professional and so warm and friendly at the same time; they feel like part of the family. So easy to get along with and so much fun to be around on your wedding day. Have you ever met a glam team so excited to be there at 3AM?? My sisters, Mom and I always talk about reliving my wedding, just so Lilly and Elisa can glam us up again! If I ever need my hair or makeup done again, I am definitely going back to them! They are simply the BEST.

ccomodate all of us getting ready in such a reasonable time manner and well before we needed to go. They made us look so beautiful and the rest of our day went perfect; they helped set the tone for an amazing and unforgettable day.

at my fiance and I are planning for our first dance. I really appreciated her honesty and her knowledge and I completely trust her for my wedding in July :)

now!!! The nitty-gritties: Overall: I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day! Seriously, Lilly (hair) and Elissa (makeup) made me feel like a freaking model!!! And I never feel that confident in myself! lol They made my short (shoulder length), thin hair look full, long, and voluminous!!! My makeup held up all night long -- even through a bunch of kissing photos and being outside in the cold, wet, and windy January weather. Lilly made me feel soo comfortable as well and kinda like she was doing make up for an old friend!! I felt like I was in the best hands and she definitely made sure I walked into my wedding day feeling as confident and stunning as possible!! Thank you sooo much Lilly & Elissa!!! <3 Pricing: incredibly fair for the services!! As of the fall of 2019 she was charging in the about $85 for airbrush makeup with lashes and about $85 for hair. Other places were quote higher than that and lashes were added!! Plus the level of craftsmanship is amazing -- especially for the price! Variety of looks: other hair artists I looked at really only seemed to do 1 type of look... especially for updos!! Some of my bridesmaids had their hair up and some down and all of their looks were individual for them and turned out beautifully! Several of my gals have long, generally frizzy hair and Lilly's team was able to manage that perfectly to keep their hair looking sleek and well kept all day long!!! Makeup, I went for a more glam look, and some of my bridesmaids went more natural -- Lilly's team totally pulled it off and made sure each makeup looked great for each gal! What if my hair or makeup day of isn't what I wanted or one of my bridesmaids wanted??? Lilly's team worked to swiftly fix one of my bridesmaids hair who didn't get what she originally wanted. Lilly and her team were incredibly understanding and just made sure we didn't leave the hotel until we all loved our looks! Longevity of hair & makeup: The bridal party photos were outside in windy and wet conditions (snow flurries as it was January). Some of my hair pieces fell but that was totally expected for 2 reasons -- the wind was hard and my hair already struggles to hold a curl! So this wasn't a deal breaker for me! For my oily skin brides and brides with acne scars -- consider doing traditional foundation. Lilly told me airbrush was best for dryer skinned women who wanted lighter coverage, and even though that wasn't my skin at all I still went with it because it seemed like the fancier option! However, looking back I think traditional make up would have suited me better -- which Lilly told me and I just ignored! So that's on me, regardless, I still LOVED my makeup -- that would just be something I would've changed if I did it again! Only negative: in some photos some gals did have noticeable flash-back under their eyes. I'm not sure if this was the type of flash my photographer was using or because of a makeup technique (as I didn't have flashback and my mother in law did & we had 2 different makeup artists). Regardless, if this concerns you, I'm sure talking to Lilly will resolve it. As they may be able to adjust their products or techniques to avoid this for all of your gals!!

ected. They did the same for our flower girls, bridesmaids, and moms. Everybody loved how they looked! A few of my bridesmaids have been in a lot of weddings and each said this was the best wedding hair and makeup they have ever had. Lilly and Elisa made me feel comfortable from the moment I met them for my trial. The whole team fit in so well while we getting ready. We had 12 people getting their hair and makeup done and they were able to have everyone done on time and the whole morning felt so relaxed! I hope the next time I'm a bridesmaid, they use Lilly so I can have her do my hair again!

killed friends. Their energy was perfect and a wonderful addition to the morning. My bridesmaids, moms, grandma and I all loved their work. I stood up in a lot wedding before my own, and I would seriously give them 5,000 stars if I could!!!

ience! Lilly and Elisa did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and I on wedding day and we loved their hair and makeup looks. All of my girls looked beautiful! The team was so personable and professional. They even helped my mom (who did not want professional services) put on her fake eyelashes for the day. I was also grateful to work with them for a trial to make sure I liked my bridal look.

. She really knows what she is doing. This was the most affordable quote that I received and they blew it out of the water! Thanks Lilly and team for making my bridal party look amazing!
