About this vendor
Travel makeup artist in the New England area for over 10 years experience
Most of the makeup I do is for weddings and special events, which I love because it's an honor to be a part of someone's important day. It is my passion to make women feel beautiful! Confidence is key! When you feel good about yourself I feel that you can conquer anything! The most rewarding aspect of my career has been the fact that I've helped to build the confidence of so many women that I have worked with.
As a makeup artist witnessing the impact that I have had on many of my clients gets me all emotioinal. One of the biggest compliments in my career is the amount of repeat clientele I have. The loyalty of my customers is truly something else. A lot of people ask how I get my customers and surprisingly its all word of mouth. Referrals have been my greatest advertisement and it is humbling. It validates that the customer was happy with the work that I did for them. It also shows that they trust me to take care of the person they are referring as well.

I cannot recommend Jessalyn enough! She did an absolutely incredible job on me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. From the moment we met, she was so friendly and kind. She really listened to what each girl asked for and executed perfectly. She made me feel completely at ease, and the entire experience was so enjoyable.
On my big day, my makeup was flawless – she exceeded my expectations, and the makeup lasted beautifully from the ceremony to the reception. Not only did I feel like the best version of myself, but I also got so many compliments throughout the day! She used high-quality products that felt great on my skin, and her attention to detail was beyond impressive.
If you want someone who is skilled, reliable, and truly passionate about making you feel beautiful on your special day, reach out to Jessalyn! Thank you again for making me feel absolutely stunning!
I highly reccomend Jessalyn for bridal makeup! She totally matched my vision for a natural look and she is so sweet and kind, her presence is very calming and is great at understanding her clients vision!
It was so wonderful working with Jess for our wedding! She did an amazing job with my makeup and my bridal party. She was able to make any tweaks I wanted from the trial and made sure everything looked exactly how I hoped. She is so kind and easy to work with and is truly such a talented makeup artist. She is thoughtful and reassuring and does such a great job making everyone in her chair feel heard and beautiful. I highly recommend you book her for your wedding!
Jessalyn is a preferred vendor that my venue recommended. I got married at Birch Wood Vineyards Labor Day Weekend and she was there early Saturday morning with a smile ready to make us beautiful. If you show her a photo of makeup she can do the exact same thing. She is so thorough, takes her time and is so nice to talk to. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely gorgeous. I’m not someone who loves to wear makeup because it can make me oily after a while. My makeup lasted until 1:00am when I washed it off and I had it done at 1:00pm. It wasn’t even oily or smudgy. It looked so natural but was a full coverage. I want to take one of her makeup classes so that I can learn exactly what she did for my wedding makeup. It was perfect! If I ever have another event to go to I’m definitely going to use her!
Jessalyn for my wedding makeup was a must have! Myself and my girls makeup came out perfectly! She is the sweetest little peach & I let her have fun with my makeup and she did not disappoint! She arrived early, was super friendly, kept everything neat & clean! She's very professional while also being so down to earth! I would not have felt nearly as beautiful without her! LOOK NO FURTHER!
Jessalyn was absolutely wonderful to work with on my wedding day. She did my trial makeup about a month back and was so open to tweaks that I wanted to change for the day of look. She was on time, fun to talk to, and of course, our makeup looked beautiful! My friends and family said they felt amazing on the day of thanks to her make up skills. The hygiene of her products was spot on and I felt like a bride at the end of the day! The makeup held up really well over the 12+ hours I had it on and LOTS of tears, too! I would highly recommend Jessalyn for your makeup needs. She took my critiques from the trial and all my original wants and needs and my makeup ended up perfect! Thank you Jessalyn!!!
Jessalyn was absolutely AMAZING on my wedding day.
Don't walk, but run to book her.
Everyone had nothing but nice things to say about her, and everyone was so in love with their makeup.
She nailed my fairytale glam vision, and I have never felt more beautiful.
Beyond that, she is just incredibly kind, and really kept the vibe up in the room.
Thank you so much for doing an AMAZING job, and please book her if you are thinking about it at all!
Jessalyn has been doing our family’s makeup for years now, so when I got engaged, I knew that she was the perfect person to do the wedding makeup. She is so sweet and makes everyone in the room feel unique and beautiful. I always tend to go for a more natural look and she does a fantastic job glamming me up in a way where I still feel like myself. From prom to family photo shoots to weddings, makeup by Jessalyn will always be a 10/10!
I hired Jessalyn for my wedding makeup for myself, moms, and maids. She went ABOVE and BEYOND my expectations. I wanted full glam and she delivered. She was on time, professional, and calm. My entire bridal party was beyond pleased with their makeup, which I feel is rare in wedding since everyone likes their makeup so different. Thank you Jessalyn!
Jess was AMAZING!!! Every girl in our bridal party loved their makeup and mine was absolutely perfect and better than I could have expected!! Jess was on time the day of the wedding and super reliable as well! Highly highly recommend!! I will be using Jess for any other big event in my life she is just so so good!
Jessalyn did my hair and makeup for a boudoir photoshoot and it was an amazing experience. She is extremely talented, professional, and fun to work with. We had great conversation throughout the session. Throughout the process Jessalyn asked questions about what I liked or wanted to see with my hair and makeup. I felt included in the process from start to finish. When it comes to hair and makeup I can be picky. I was blown away by my final look and what Jessalyn did. I’ve had my makeup done professionally only a handful of times and I’ve never felt so happy about the final outcome. I got so many compliments from friends and family about my hair and makeup. Everyone loved it! Do yourself a favor and hire Jessalyn as your makeup artist - you will not regret it.
Jessalyn is so talented! She did an absolutely amazing job on my make up along with my bridesmaids, mother and my husbands mother! I wanted a very natural looking make up and she did exactly that! I got so many compliments on my make up! Thank you so much and for being so flexible!
I worked with Jessalyn for my wedding on October 8, 2021. Choosing her as both myself and my bridesmaids makeup stylist was one of the best decisions I made. Without a doubt, Jessalyn was one of my absolute favorite vendors to work with. Jessalyn is the kindest, most easy going person. I found her through Instagram as she was the tagged stylist in a friend’s New Hampshire wedding photos. Prior to my wedding, I spoke with Jessalyn on the phone about what I was looking for in terms of my special day makeup. I had told her how I had a bad experience with a makeup trial, one in which the stylist gave me the complete opposite of what I had been looking for. Jessalyn listened to my vision and how I was looking to get very natural makeup that made me feel like myself. I had a trial at her home where her precious and adorable little son was if I might add! I was ecstatic when she showed me my makeup in the mirror. It was better than I could have imagined. She took every request, worry, want, need, etc. into consideration and gave me the most beautiful natural makeup. On the day of the wedding, it was no different. Not only did she make me feel stunning on my wedding day, but she gave that same feeling to my entire wedding party. I had bridesmaids saying, “I have never been in a wedding where every single girl loved their makeup and every single girl looked this amazing!” Jessalyn was a rockstar, and she alone did myself and 15 others’ makeup. Absolutely incredible! All of our makeup lasted the entire day and night. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get married in New Hampshire or the surrounding areas!
I cannot recommend Jessalyn for your wedding makeup enough. She made every bridesmaid look gorgeous and I felt beautiful for my big day. It POURED all day long and we insisted on going outside for pictures and my makeup didn’t budge or run. That’s how good she is. If you want an easy and fun experience that helps you feel and look like an elevated version of yourself; hire Jessalyn. Thanks again for everything. :)
I can't recommend Jessalyn enough for your wedding makeup needs! She goes above and beyond to make everyone look beautiful, and she somehow does it all in record time. I cannot believe how beautiful she made me look on the day of my wedding and I could not have been happier with the results. She is so laid back, accommodating, responsive, and just a wonderful person.
Jessalyn is amazing at what she does. She made me and my bridesmaids look and feel our absolute best. I wanted a natural look because I don't normally wear makeup and she nailed it. The makeup lasted all day and into the night. Can't recommend her enough. Don't wait and book her now!
I hired Jessalyn to do my wedding parties makeup on my wedding day. She showed up on time, looked and acted very professional and did an amazing job! My three daughters loved her because she talked to them the whole time while doing their makeup, asked questions about their interests and made them feel so comfortable. I could tell that their confidence was up and they couldn’t stop staring at themselves in the mirror! I will be hiring Jessalyn again!
I just got married on 3/11/21 and Jessalyn was amazing. I know nothing about makeup so the ony guidance I gave was "natural and bridal". She nailed it!! The gloss was perfect and my skin looked flawless. I would recommend Jessalyn over and over again! A pleasure to work with.
Jessalyn is an incredible make up artist. First, she was so accommodating when my mom and I wanted to meet her and have a trial early on in the search. She really listened to me and helped me figure out how to make me look like "me" but "glam." She really knows her stuff and worked her magic to conceal a brow waxing injury on my wedding day-- no one noticed! Also, she was incredibly patient with the MOB and the aunts and MOG, especially when one of them decided she didn't like her look and wanted to redo it. She didn't hesitate and made everyone look and feel amazing. I couldn't recommend Jessalyn enough.
I had been a bridesmaid in a wedding Jessalyn had done long before I met my husband. I knew if I were ever going to get married or need makeup for any occasion I was going to be sure booking Jessalyn was the first thing I did. She is amazing inside and out, and her work is perfection. I have never felt more beautiful. I also couldn't believe how fast she worked! She even squeezed in an extra person on the fly. Thank you Jessalyn. :)
You MUST book Jessalyn for your wedding make up, no questions just do it. My face was absolutely flawless from start to finish for my engagement photos, my bridal shower and my wedding. It was a hot humid day the day of my engagement photos and the day of my bridal shower, that makeup was SOLID all day. The day of my wedding was sunny and 75 completely picture perfect but my makeup held all day and night, yes I shamelessly slept in my full face and woke up looking fabulous. Sorry husband I had to wash it off sometime and I am back to my normal self. My bridal party was spot on as well, she is easy to talk to understands what each person in the party wanted and needed to feel their absolute best for photos. I am looking forward to booking her again for event make up.
Jessalyn came highly recommended to me by a makeup artist in Maine, and I am SO glad we chose her. I explained my vision to her, and she absolutely nailed it. Somehow, she did 11 people's make up the day of my wedding, and each person came out looking like a stunning model. She wastes no time, gets right down to business, and each girl probably only took about 20-30 minutes. So professional, sweet and kind and I would highly recommend her to any bride.
Not only is she ridiculously adorable, but she is incredibly talented. I have never had my makeup done before, and it was SO much fun. I highly recommend her whether you're looking to go full blown glam, or soft and subtle.
Jessalyn Dolan (Makeup by Jessalyn)-she is an absolute magician! Her work speaks for itself-the Before and Afters are unreal! Honestly, this girl’s talent rivals that of celebrity stylists! She was able to glam the make-up regulars in my bridal party and do just the right amount of “oomph” for the bridesmaid who usually goes makeup-less so that we all matched and complimented each other perfectly! She also gave me and my girls spray tans before the wedding and did an absolutely amazing job! I can’t recommend her enough.
Honestly the best! I had two makeup trials before my wedding, couldn't decide which one I loved more so we did a combination of both for the day of. I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night! She did an amazing job on my bridesmaids and mothers of the bride too. Everyone looked flawless and felt so beautiful. She is super friendly and easy to talk to, and her prices are great! Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs makeup done for any occasion :)
I wish I could give Jessalyn more stars! She was amazing and exactly the kind of person I needed doing my makeup. She is really passionate about her brides looking & feeling great. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life and I owe that feeling to Jessalyn.
I also had a large bridal party and she was able to get everyone's make-up done with time to spare. I woud HIGHLY recommend using her services!!
Jessalyn is the best! Not only is she a talented makeup artist, she's so kind and sweet and takes the time to listen to what you want. Very calming attitude which is what you need around you on your wedding day! She knows what's best to make you feel beautiful without making you look over done. My Mom and my Nana both don't wear a lot of make up and Jessalyn did theirs and they were very happy with it.
Jessalyn was awesome! She did my whole bridal party as well as my mom's make up for my wedding. I do not wear make up often and I wanted a natural look! She nailed it! My makeup was gorgeous and I received so many compliments! She was so personable the day of and helped with my hair and with a hug when things got stressful as well! She is not only a talented makeup artist but a good person as well and does above and beyond! I HIGHLY recommend her! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful on the most special day of my life!
Jessalyn is amazing at her job. She is not only amazing at figuring out what is best for you, but she truly listens to what you want, and how you envisioned your look.She was willing to change anything she had already done, and wanted to make sure I was very happy with the look. She is also very fun, easy to talk to, and very laid back! Would recommend her not only for wedding make up, but any make up needs! She also did my Mom's hair, and it was exactly what she wanted. Couldn't have asked for a better MUA.
Jessalyn did the entire bridal party's make up the day of the wedding. She was amazing! I do not wear much make up on a regular basis and she made me feel like an absolute princess without making me feel caked in make up!
Every girl in my bridal party was blown away by her work!
