Lisa did my wedding makeup 9/11/26. She was so communicative, timely, and on top of things leading up to the day. She was able to adjust seamlessly from the little tweaks from our trial. Wedding day, she was on time and got everyone’s makeup done ahead of schedule! She is an absolute artist and every girl and mom looked INCREDIBLE. I felt like I looked like a glammed up version of myself. I’d highly recommend Lisa to anyone!

he made me feel less anxious about signing another contract and was communicative throughout the whole process. She made me feel not crazy for finding someone else after my MUA went MIA 4 days before my wedding. She hyped me and my bridesmaids up. She is professional, prompt, and genuine.

he wedding day both calm and fun. She brought out everyone’s natural beauty, and the girls raved about their makeup. All our makeup held up amazing the whole night - we danced until midnight, shed many happy tears; pictures from the last song looked as good as pics from the ceremony.
I have to add this because I’m beyond impressed - I taught a hot yoga class (95 degree room, humid) after my trial and the makeup stayed exactly in place!
I can’t wait for another occasion where I can book Lisa again ❤️

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Lisa! From the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful to work with. We did my trial back in March, and since I was...
traveling to Massachusetts for my wedding, she was so accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. She was organized, professional, and had a clear contract and pricing, which made everything feel so easy and stress-free. Her pricing was also extremely reasonable for the quality and experience she provided
On my wedding day, she truly exceeded my expectations. She made me, my bridesmaids, and everyone in my bridal party feel absolutely beautiful! Her products were amazing and our makeup looked flawless without ever feeling heavy or cakey. Most importantly, it lasted ALL day—even through the Massachusetts humidity.
She was kind, patient, and genuinely made the getting-ready part of my wedding day even more enjoyable.
If you are a bride looking for a makeup artist, I could not recommend her more. I am so grateful she was part of it!

I am an older bride who does not usually wear a lot of makeup, so I had a trial with Lisa before my wedding and was so i...
mpressed with how the makeup looked - natural, and not overdone at all. I knew she would be spot-on on the wedding day. Several family members were so impressed with how she did my makeup that they all wanted their makeup done for the wedding, too.
For the wedding day, we had makeup done for 5 adults and 3 flower girls and we were all SO HAPPY with the results - it could not have been more perfect!
Lisa is an amazing communicator, so friendly, easygoing, and punctual. She really listened to what each of us wanted and was fantastic with the flower girls.
Everyone at the wedding commented on how great the makeup looked - and I agree! I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lisa!

act bridal look I was hoping for as someone who normally doesn’t wear much makeup.
Not only is Lisa incredibly talented, but she’s also extremely versatile. She flawlessly did the makeup for me, my Maid of Honor, my mother, and even my grandmother! Everyone looked and felt their best, and the makeup lasted all day and night.
She was very easy to work with and always checked in with me throughout the planning process to confirm my morning timeline.
Lisa’s calm and friendly presence also made the getting-ready process smooth and stress-free. I can’t recommend her highly enough to any bride looking for a skilled, reliable, and personable makeup artist!

while making the whole look natural. Every single person in my wedding party raved that she was the best make up artist they’ve worked with and we have all been in lots of bridal parties! She was so professional and thoughtful and I could not imagine my wedding morning without her. Even after hours of sweating and dancing on the dance floor my makeup was still perfect- not a single bit out of place or smudged. I am absolutely going to be turning to Lisa for all my makeup needs in the future! I highly recommend her for any brides out there!

anaged the makeup for myself (the bride) and my six attendants, a significant undertaking she handled with grace and impeccable timing. What truly set Lisa apart was her ability to listen intently to each individual's preferences and translate those desires into flawless makeup application. She didn't just apply makeup; she crafted a look that enhanced each person's natural beauty while perfectly aligning with my overall wedding vision. Everyone in my bridal party was absolutely thrilled with their results, and the makeup lasted beautifully throughout the entire day and night of celebrations. Lisa's calm and friendly demeanor also helped create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on a potentially hectic morning. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa O’Connor for any bride seeking a talented, reliable, and truly gifted makeup artist.

er pre-wedding communication was terrific and helped us to set a feasible schedule, which we actually were able to stay on/ahead of, and this helped us and our planner with the master timeline for the day. She arrived promptly on the day of the wedding and was quickly able to establish a work area in our hotel suite. Lisa also worked well with our hairstylist and other wedding personnel, and many onlookers and party members compared our suite that morning to a friendly beauty salon. Lisa worked so efficiently that we were actually ready a bit early for photos, which gave some breathing room on a busy day! She provided excellent makeup services for the 2 grooms, young girls (ages 6 to 11) and adult women in the wedding party and was quickly able to make a clear plan based on age and their baseline makeup style (if any). The mother and grandmother of the young girls were both particularly thankful to have someone with Lisa’s skill and personality working with them. She used airbrushing very effectively and was able to individualize eye makeup for members of the party as well. Her rates are friendly for most budgets and we felt she provided excellent value, particularly for Cape Cod in wedding season. We are so grateful that Lisa helped us to look great on our special day and the photos so far have been a testament to her skills. We recommend her very strongly!

al to ensure your wedding day look is just what you expect and more. She has a wealth of knowledge and helped me with skin care leading right up to the wedding day, makeup choices for my more mature skin and gave me that natural glam look I wanted. She also did my my mothers makeup who is 70, assisted with my 22 and 12 year old daughters makeup looks as well! It is a testament to her her experience and skill to be able to manage makeup for such different skin types and ages. I received so many compliments on my wedding day! Stunning and Gorgeous were popular comments, I was confident and radiant walking down the aisle and felt every bit the blushing bride THANK YOU LISA! I have never felt so beautiful and the make up lasted 2 days, lashes and all! Since we left straight for the honeymoon I kept my makeup on and I have to say I was the prettiest girl at the airport :) Highly recommend Lisa for all your skin and makeup needs!
