Lindsay was so friendly and patient while doing my bridal party makeup. Our music wasn’t connecting well with the hotel TV and she had a speaker for us to use and it definitely saved the fun vibes of the morning. I don’t have a lot of experience getting my makeup done so I couldn’t describe/give a specific look for her to do. So I appreciated her willingness to address and change any aspects I didn’t like and the overall makeup look came out amazing for my wedding day. My makeup stayed on all night! I would recommend her to any future brides!

Lindsay is AMAZING! She is so detail oriented, punctual, and genuinely goes above and beyond . She takes the time to understand your skin type and picks colors that make you look and feel your best. I loved how she even plans ahead for things like wedding tears or sweat from being on the dance floor all night long and my makeup stayed flawless the whole time! I would 100% recommend her for any special events.

Lindsay is praised for professional, calm, and attentive service—she listens closely, plans for skin type and tears, and stays communicative from trial to wedding.

I can’t say enough about Lindsay! She showed up on time and got right to business. She was friendly, professional, and talented. She listened to all of us and worked accordingly.

While getting ready for my wedding, we had a city wide power outage. Our venue completely lost all power and we were in the dark in the middle of makeup and hair. Lindsay didn’t even flinch, she stayed so calm and kept going, having 2 of my bridesmaids holding up flashlights for her to complete her work. After that bridesmaid was finished she jumped into action to move everything next to natural lighting, so we could do my makeup. She kept so calm, which really helped me to not panic. Her work is phenomenal and I’m so grateful I had her for my big day. She is your go-to girl for makeup, hands down.

Lindsay did my makeup for my recent April wedding. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, I was anxious to get it professionally done for the wedding. She was absolutely amaz...
ing and made me feel totally at ease. Lindsay listened to what I wanted, and did not push to make me feel like I had to overdo it for my wedding day. She puts her clients at ease, and is skilled in the industry. She made suggestions for what would compliment my natural features, while still allowing me to look like myself. Lindsay was prompt with her responses, and has a true passion for what she does! BOOK HER!
