ht for me and Julie sent me so many other options. She really worked with everyone in my group to make sure we looked exactly how we wanted. She was amazing at figuring out the schedule. I had two weddings in the same day, the first one was a Sikh wedding at 9:30 am and the second was a Christian wedding at 5:00. I needed hair and makeup for myself plus my mom and five bridesmaids. We had to leave at 8:30 for wedding #1. Julie helped put together the best team so we could sleep a few hours (we started at 5am). We were all on time and looked great. I am not Indian or Sikh but my Sikh outfit had a number of items I needed to have in my hair or wear as jewelry. Julie went above and beyond in helping me get dressed for my first wedding. I wanted to look perfect for my husband's family and she helped immensely. Then she stayed with us for wedding #1 and did a touch up before wedding #2. She even helped me out of my outfit and elaborate jewelry. My friends and I received so many compliments on our hair and makeup. One very picky friend of mine said "you all look so beautiful but all look yourself." I truly believe Julie was the best vendor I hired. If you are getting married book her!

Working with Julie was a total breeze, I would recommend her to anyone for makeup! I was searching for a makeup artist for the wedding and stumbled upon Julie's page. I am typically a very low-maintenance type, I don't typically wear makeup du...
ring the week, so I just wanted to look like an enhanced version of myself. And, budget friendly was a MUST! Upon first interaction with Julie, I was really amazed by her professionalism. She was ON IT. Count on prompt, detailed responses. She is very open and honest about her product and what my experience with her would be like. She has you fill out a consult form and send looks of makeup you'd like. I was really impressed by the detail- allergies, what your skin type is like, etc. She was also very conscious of my budget and worked with me for what I was looking for. Anyway, we did a trial for the engagement shoot, and spent some time going over looks and trying out shades that worked for my skin. Julie spent SO much focused time on me for my trial. We had a lot of fun working together as she is very easy to get along with. Julie's esthetician background influences her focus on skin. I love how she "pampers" the brides with a special mask before applying the makeup. It really makes your skin glow once all the makeup is done. I've never had my skin look so good! After seeing the engagement photos, I loved the natural look, but wanted a more dramatic look for the wedding. I trusted that she would nail it and she totally did. She made my eyes pop exactly how I wanted them to! I save the best two things for last: 1) We were at the wedding venue from 1:00 pm until 10 pm on an 85 degree day. I spent the entire night after dinner (about 6-10 pm) dancing. So imagine the toll that would take on my makeup. There was a photo taken of me right after and my makeup STILL looked in credible after all that sun and dancing! That was what really sold me on Julie. Not only is the initial product good, but it STAYED good the whole night despite the "wear and tear". That was my biggest "WOW" factor. 2) After the wedding... keep in mind this was well AFTER the wedding. I remembered "hey, Julie knows skincare, maybe she can give me some advice". I sent her a quick email asking about her favorite products and what my skin care goals were, and, in total Julie fashion, I get an incredibly helpful and detailed response for how to take care of my skin! Another big WOW. I couldn't believe how generous she was, even after my event was over. Julie is someone who really cares and is quick and happy to help. Could not recommend her more. Thank you, Julie, for making me look so fly on my special day!

e about my worries early on during my consultation, and during my trial, she was really patient in making sure that everything she did was exactly what I wanted. I can't thank her enough for that. She was super easy to work with, super responsive, and ALWAYS on top of it. Given that I'm super Type-A and very diligent in making sure I get everything done at a certain time, it was super helpful that she was the same way as well. During my actual wedding day, she made sure that I was comfortable, really flexible in making last minute changes, and super helpful to my family if they needed something. She went above and beyond in her services and I was so thankful that I found her. Really, she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed during my wedding day that it really just carried on throughout the night.

a great personality! You can tell her how you want to look, send her pictures; she welcomes your opinion but at the same time offers her own professional advice of what she thinks will look good on you & your skin.
