Jena was an absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning she was really easy to get into communication with and had a really smooth booking process. The day I had my trial ...
was a hectic and busy day for me, but the minute I walked in, she was the sweetest person ever. We talked for entire trial and she made me feel so comfortable and especially beautiful! The morning of the wedding, I asked to make a few adjustments to my makeup from what we did in the trial and she absolutely delivered. My mom, sister, and I felt absolutely beautiful. Jena, I can’t thank you enough, you are so talented and genuine <3!
Jena Robinson is an absolute talent and made me feel so stunning on my wedding day! I truly wish I could hire her to do my makeup every single day. She captured the exact look I wa...
nted, creating a style that felt both completely natural and beautifully elevated.
I cannot thank her enough for her incredible work. If you are looking to feel confident, gorgeous, and like the absolute best version of yourself on your wedding day, please hire Jena Robinson—you will not be disappointed!
Jena was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her services enough! As someone who’s idea of wearing makeup is mascara and tinted moisturizer, it was really important to me tha...
t I still looked like “myself” in all of the pictures and Jena’s soft glam style accomplished exactly that! I looked like myself - just an elevated version! She was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process and patient with the fact that I know very little about makeup. I really felt beautiful on my wedding, and I owe a lot of that to Jena. She and her entire team were just delightful - do yourself a favour and book her!
Jena is truly the best makeup artist ever. I had her when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and knew when I eventually got married, I had to have her again. My makeup looked so good ...
but also looked like an elevated version of myself without being too glam. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life! My makeup also stayed for 14+ hours without having to fix anything!! She is also the sweetest person and I seriously loved working with her. She made the entire process so seamless. Highly recommend her!!
Jena and her team are amazing!!! Jena is so sweet, personable, and easy to work with. She just has good energy that made me feel so at ease sitting in her chair. I wanted a natural...
look and to feel like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day. I felt absolutely beautiful, and the makeup lasted all night long. I needed coverage on my chest and back and she spent time in our trial trying different things until she found the most natural looking full coverage nontransferable application for the wedding day. At the trial and on the wedding day, Jena encouraged my honest feedback to ensure that the wedding makeup was exactly what I wanted. She took extensive notes from the trial, and the wedding day makeup was perfect! Literally no notes! All of the bridal party loved their makeup and some actually said it was the best they have ever gotten in a wedding party! Thank you so much Jena for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself.
I found Jena through her Instagram account and loved her natural glam style! From the moment I contacted her, to scheduling our hair trial, to coordinating our wedding day schedule...
and finally the actual big day, Jena and her team were so much fun to work with. Jena is beautiful, personable, meticulous, friendly, and overall a wonderful professional. Jena paid close attention to my preferences as a “non-makeup” girlie and also tailored her makeup process to each of my moms and bridesmaids! Everyone loved their make up and never were there any skirmishes or bathroom fixes (iykyk)! I would absolutely recommend Jena and her team for any wedding or other event makeup needs, she truly brings out your already beautiful self!!! THANK YOU!!!
Jena and Kaelyn were incredible on my wedding day and throughout the whole wedding process. My makeup was incredible as well as my hair and I received compliments the whole night. ...
They were on time, friendly, and gave my bridal party exactly what they wanted. I would highly recommend Jena and Kaelyn for makeup and hair!!
Jena is phenomenal! I truly feel so lucky that I found her for my wedding day. From the moment I inquired, she was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. ...
It's clear how much she loves what she does! As someone that doesn't typically wear a lot of makeup, I wanted to look like myself on my big day. Jena respected my wishes and delivered the soft glam look of my dreams! In addition to applying my bridal makeup, she also performed 8 other make up services including my bridesmaids and moms. Everyone looked amazing and the makeup really shined in pictures and throughout the entire day (over 12 hours for some)! Not only is Jena amazing at her job, she is also so friendly and fun to talk to! Thank you Jena :)
My wedding day makeup, as well as my bridesmaids' and my mom's, were absolutely perfect. I really appreciate how Jena listened to each person's wants and used her expertise to make...
sure everyone looked their best. I was also able to book my hairstylist Lindsay and an additional hair stylist / MUA Megan through Jena, which made the entire booking process so much easier. As an added bonus, Jena, Lindsay, and Megan were an absolute pleasure to have during our 'getting ready' session!
Jena did the most beautiful makeup for my wedding. She is extremely meticulous and asked for my preference on specific details throughout the whole process. My makeup was exactly w...
hat I wanted and more! Jena is also very personable and fun to be around. She is very helpful and responsive. I reached out to her a few times before the wedding for help purchasing lipstick for the wedding day. She quickly responded each time and helped me pick out the right color. She took away any stress before it could even happen. If you’re in need of professional makeup done- hire Jena!!
Jena and her team were absolutely amazing. I didn’t fit time into my schedule for a trial, so on my wedding day I didn’t really know what to expect, and my makeup absolutely exceed...
ed my expectations. Additionally, all 10 other women were so happy with how their makeup came out. In fact, 2 of my bridesmaids were getting married in the months following, and they used Jena’s makeup as inspo for their own wedding makeup! Kaelyn was our hair stylist, and my textured updo came out absolutely perfect. The whole team was so wonderful, approachable, efficient, and talented. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Jena enough. Her makeup style is just so stunning…she truly enhances and not hides your natural look. My makeup stayed put all night & my mom’s until the next da...

We all received endless compliments on our makeup. Jena was prompt and professional and just a huge help to us all that morning. And is truly talented (and her color matching is impressive).

entire planning process so easy and enjoyable. I don’t know how she does it because she makes you feel so special like you’re the only bride she’s ever worked with! I was so excited for my bridal party to get their hair and make up done because I knew they would love it as much as I did! I couldn’t help but want to run and give her a hug after putting my dress on to show everyone the final look! I got compliments on my make up all night long AND the next day at breakfast that it still looked amazing. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone I know!!!

You can tell how dedicated and passionate she was about making sure that not only I as the bride, but my bridesmaids looked their best.

Jena was very sweet, patient, supportive, and overall helped ease the stress for my big day. I highly recommend Jena for not just weddings, but all occasions!
