I used Montana for my wedding back and I was so happy I did! I usually do not wear makeup and I wanted the natural look and she did exactly that. Montana completed all my bridesmaids, myself and family members with ease, she is very accommodating. I would defiantly work with her again and recommend her to others!
Montana is so great to work with and my makeup looked amazing on my wedding day! It lasted me all day and looked amazing. She is so friendly and professional, I would highly recommend booking with her for your wedding!
Montana is amazing! I would recommend her to anyone looking for makeup for their special occasion!

Thank you Sydney!! You truly have the best energy and I loved being a part of your morning 💘
Montana was fantastic, I can't recommend her enough! I don't typically wear a lot of makeup at all, so I wanted a really natural look but still wanted lashes, etc. I felt like Montana really listened to my during my trial and I was really happy with the look day-of, plus it lasted literally all night! She's so sweet, so was great to have there the morning of and my family/friends who had makeup done were equally happy.

Thank you so much, Teresa!! It was a pleasure working with you and your girls 🩷🫶
Montana was an absolute doll! She made my bridal party look beyond beautiful, and myself( the bride) look amazing. I knew at my make up trial that she was the one I wanted to do my make up for the most important day of my life. She was so sweet, and made me comfortable the minute I sat down. If you’re looking for bridal make up, or any make up for that matter, look no further than Makeup by Montana. You will NOT be disappointed.

Thank you, April!! It was a pleasure being a part of your day. 🩷
Montana and her team were amazing! They were on time for our early morning getting-ready, brought the sweetest bride gift, and, most importantly, did THE BEST job on myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. All day, everyone kept saying how gorgeous the girls were! Highly recommend Makeup by Montana!

Thank you so much, Emily!!!
Montana did my makeup for my wedding as well as for my bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law. I am South Asian and I was very apprehensive to find a makeup artist who would be able to create a look that would not look washed out against my deep red wedding dress while also not look overdone and cakey. Montana nailed it! We did two trials and she was super receptive and easy to work with. She was open to me bringing some of my own products which was great as I wanted a very specific lip color and foundation.
On the day of the wedding she was super punctual (literally arrived on the dot) and deftly worked through a pretty large group. My wedding party was multiracial and Montana's talent showed as she made everyone look beautiful and brought out their best features! Above all, she is extremely kind and funny, and it was a joy to have her in my suite as I got ready for my big day.
Hire her for your wedding. You will not regret it!

Thank you so much for including me in your day!! You were a stunning bride and your bridal party had the BEST energy💗 Wishing you and Tom a lifetime of happiness!!
I was probably Montanas worst nightmare as a bride since I really don’t wear makeup but the reason I chose her was because her worked looked most natural to me compared to most makeup artist. She is incredibly patient, she sat with me for almost 3 hours during my trial to achieve my look which I was so grateful for. She so personal and all my bridesmaids were so happy with their looks. I would definitely use Montana in the future !
Montana was just the best and I could not recommend her more. Not only was she EXTREMELY punctual (which was so important with a very large bridal party) but went above and beyond to ensure that myself and all of my bridesmaids were happy with their make up. She did a perfect natural look and listened to me every step of the way. The best!!!!

Thank you Grace!! It was a pleasure being a part of your wedding morning!!
Montana did the makeup for my wedding at the Foundry in LIC, and she was nothing short of AMAZING! She did my bridesmaids & the mother of the bride and every single person looked stunning and felt their absolute best. I showed her a natural dewy look and she nailed it. The makeup also lasted all night long and did not get oily or sink into my lines - so her knowledge of makeup and skin prep is unmatched! She also has the best vibe & added so much joy to the room while we got ready. I felt so gorgeous for my wedding & would recommend her to anyone!!

Thank you Christina!! I had the BEST time with you and your girls 💓
I’m so glad I met Montana! I did my first trial with her for my engagement photoshoot. She is professional and super friendly. It was my first time ever getting my make up done so she made me feel comfortable and offered lots of choices. I did a second trial with her again closer to the wedding to tweak and finalize my look. I’m so happy with how my make up felt and looked for my wedding day! She even gave me a sample of lipstick that she mixed just for my color so that I can reapply throughout the pictures and reception. She also did the make up for my mom, mother-in-law and sister. Without even meeting them prior to the wedding, she did their entire makeup according to their preferences based on what they liked and any flaws they wanted to perfect. Everyone loved it!

Miranda! Thank you so much! I sooo enjoyed being a part of your morning and your mothers reaction to her makeup made my whole month!! Wishing you lots of love and happiness 💗
Montana is a real gem and I'm thrilled that I found her for my wedding! In addition to her obvious skills as a makeup artist, she is simply a delight to be around. Everyone in my wedding party looked and felt gorgeous, and we all agreed that getting ready was a surprisingly special part of the day, in no small part due to Montana's efforts and professionalism.
Could not recommend more highly - 5/5 stars for Montana <3

Thank you so much Clare!!! I loved hanging with you and your girls and being a part of your day!! 💗
I am so happy I hired Montana to do my makeup (and my mom’s and sister’s) for my wedding! She was so sweet and did exactly what I was looking for -natural but still bridal. We felt like getting ready with Montana (and the hair stylist) was like getting ready with friends! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Christine! It was a pleasure working with you and your family 💗
Montana saved my wedding after a last minute cancellation from the makeup artist I had originally hired. She is kind, professional and extremely talented. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I was so happy with my makeup on my wedding day!

Thank you, Becky! I am so happy that you loved your makeup 💗
If i can give a 1,000 stars i would . I met Montana couple years ago at a prior wedding when i was a bridesmaid . I had a make up trial with someone else as much as i looked beautiful, it wasn’t a WOW factor . I contacted Montana hoping she was available and i was so lucky she was ! When i did my trial i was beyond satisfied, i got the WOW factor i wanted . I have oily skin with lots of acne and she made me feel so beautiful with full coverage , full on glam , princess theme as i wanted . Montana i can’t thank you enough for taking me last minute and being so patient. Montana wasn’t just my make up artist, i gained a friend .
Response from the Vendor on 05/10/2022
Thank you so much - this made my day!! I was so happy to bring your vision to life and also feel like I gained a friend 💗
Montana was absolutely amazing! She made getting ready so easy! Each of my bridesmaids got individualized makeup to their liking! The whole experience for reaching out, to trial, to the big day was stress free.

Thank you, Jacklyn!! Such a great time working with you 💗
Montana did my makeup for my small wedding. She was not only lovely and amazing to talk to the whole time (for both trial and wedding day), but I adored my makeup. She asked questions along the way and is so receptive to the style YOU want. I. highly recommend Montana and would absolutely book her again for a big event!

Thank you so much Melissa!! It was so nice getting to know you! Lots of love to you and your family 💗
Had such a wonderful experience from day one with Montana. Her responsiveness positive additive and guidance about your special day will make you feel at such ease and confident knowing you’ll be looking extra beautiful!
Montana was super prompt and came a few minutes early for both my trial and big day. She is super organized and attentive to your skin sensitivities and allergies. Between me and my bridesmaids and mom she made sure all tools and brushes were properly sanitized which is something I really appreciate. I was so happy with way my makeup came out beautifully glam and still natural. All of my girls were in love and said it was the best makeup they ever had! Montana is truly an artist 💘
Response from the Vendor on 02/15/2022
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I had a blast working with you and your girls and you were such a beautiful bride! 💗
Montana is the best- Apart from being very skilled, she was very patient and kind. We had an early start and she made sure we were all done on time without any stress or rushing! Her lash application is amazing she does individuals and it makes such a big difference, I know not all makeup artists do this so that was a huge bonus!
She really made the whole process easy and I looked amazing! My makeup stayed all day and night, Thanks again Montana !!

It was such a pleasure being a part of your day! Thank you for your kind words ❤️
I am so pleased with my experience with Makeup by Montana. I have been wearing my makeup the exact same way for years and was very nervous to put my trust into someone on my wedding day. Not only did Montana do a spectacular job on my makeup, but she knew exactly what to ask to understand exactly what I was looking for. Services were timely and professional. I was also happy to see that she very meticulous and made sure items were thoroughly sanitized between members of my bridal party.
I could not have possibly been happier with my experience! My makeup looked FLAWLESS and did not budge the entire night.
(and we got ready early!) I was indecisive about my look and trusted Montana's guidance, and am so happy with how I looked! I truly have never felt more beautiful!! Getting ready for my wedding was one of my favorite memories and I'm so happy that I chose Montana to be a part of that!
I found Montana through a friend of mine who used her for her wedding years ago. I have very sensitive skin and do not normally wear makeup, so I was worried about finding an artist that could help with my concerns. I am so glad that I found Montana! I felt like I had nothing on my face and my makeup did not budge through crying, dancing, and even a little rain. If you are thinking of booking, do not hesitate! This was easily one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning and was worth every penny.
Cant say enough good things about Montana. She did a great job on my makeup my bridesmaids loved their makeup. She came to us and arrived early and made the process fun. She took the time to get to know what each of us wanted.
Highly recommend. For my trial, I had requested very light makeup, but once my wedding day finally came, I changed my mind and requested a more glamorous look. All of my guests were impressed and my husband was stunned. Thank you, Montana!
After several failed makeup trials with other artists, a friend of mine referred Makeup by Montana and I had a wonderful experience with her ! I am someone that does not typically wear makeup and was worried about not looking like myself. My makeup looked perfect and lasted all night, and my photos came out beautiful ! My mother, bridesmaids and MIL loved their makeup as well! Montana was understanding of everyones concerns and gave each girl the perfect look
Montana was wonderful. She listened to all of the requests of myself and my bridal party. She is sweet professional and punctual. She made getting ready for the big day fun and easy!
Montana is a brilliant makeup artist with excellent people skills.
As an older, more mature bride who rarely wears makeup, I was worried about whether I could pull off a fully made up face on my big day. Montana worked with me on a trial run before the wedding so that I could figure out my "look."
When the big day came and I got to marry the love of my life, I was nervous but Montana put me at ease. When I looked in the mirror I couldn't have been more pleased. I had a lovely, natural glow. But the biggest stamp of approval came when I heard my husband's, "Wow!" as I walked down the aisle.
In short, I can't recommend Montana enough. I plan to use her services again when my daughter gets married next month - and so will my daughter and her bridal party.
Hire Montana. You won't be disappointed.
Montana is an amazing make-up artist! I highly recommend her for all occasions; wedding, birthday, anniversary, bridal shower and baby shower. I have many freckles, dark spots and dark circles around my eyes. Montana did an exceptional job, she made me look fabulous for my wedding! She’s an outstanding make-up artist with an exceptional personality!
My bridal party loved their make-up by Montana!

Thank you, Lorraine! It was a pleasure being a part of your wedding day!
Montana was beyond amazing to work with! She is so sweet and kind and really listens to what you want! Also, she will have you leaving her chair feeling gorgeous! I cannot recommend her enough for any special events that you have coming up!!
Beyond happy with how my makeup turned out on my wedding day. As a bit of a perfectionist I did two trials (to be sure of my look) and I felt very confident with Montana . The make-up was beautiful and natural. Additionally, I appreciated her focus on eyes (my favorite feature). BTW She applied individual lashes! I Highly recommend Montana for your wedding & bridal party!
Montana really helped make the day perfect. She has a great personality, and made everyone feel relaxed and beautiful. She was able to give special attention to each of the bridesmaids, addressing their concerns and requests, and even gave our little flower girl the perfect touch. As for me, my makeup was natural and glowing, exactly as I wanted it. It stayed on beautifully, and I received so many compliments. I would highly recommend Montana anyone looking for wedding or special occasion makeup. Thanks again for being a special part of our day!
I will start this off by saying I am a pretty particular person when it comes to makeup as I am a cosmetologist myself. With that being said, Montana was the most amazing and professional makeup artist I have ever worked with. She took her time with all the fine detailing and put me at ease every step of the way. My face was glowing and I felt SOOO CONFIDENT! A few of my bridesmaids were concerned with looking natural while I wanted more glam & she nailed every single look!!!!! Book Montana for your wedding you won’t regret it!
I am so happy I chose Montana to do my makeup! She was professional, on time, friendly, and did an amazing job on my makeup. I would recommend her to anyone who needs makeup done for weddings or any special occasion.
