Could not have better things to say about Rosie and my experience! She was so talented, kind, and professional. I told her exactly what I wanted and she delivered! My makeup and all of my bridesmaids’ looked absolutely stunning. I have never received so many compliments in my life and it lasted all day and night. She was on time, brought the best products, and was such a joy to have around all day. Hire her, you will not regret it!!!

I cannot recommend Rosie enough! From the moment we talked about my wedding vision, I knew I was in great hands. She listened to exactly what I wanted and somehow made it even better than I imagined. My makeup was absolutely flawless, and I truly felt like the best version of myself. What impressed me the most was how well it held up. Despite the heat, humidity, happy tears, and dancing all night, my makeup looked just as beautiful at the end of the evening as it did when she first finished. Beyond her incredible talent, Rosie brought such a calming, positive presence to the morning. She made getting ready feel fun, relaxed, and stress-free, which meant so much on such an important day. Thank you for helping me feel so confident and beautiful, and for making every member of my bridal party look absolutely stunning too!

I can't recommend Rosie enough! From our very first conversation through my wedding weekend, she made me feel completely confident that I was going to feel like the most beautiful ...

version of myself. She has such a fun, positive energy and was an absolute joy to spend time with on my wedding morning. From our first phone call to my makeup trial, I knew she would be someone I'd love having by my side. Rosie took the time to really understand the look I wanted for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I told her I wanted to look like a natural, elevated version of myself, and she absolutely nailed it both times. I felt so beautiful while still feeling completely like me, which was exactly what I had hoped for. Beyond her incredible talent, Rosie is an excellent communicator and was always available to answer any questions I had leading up to the wedding. My mom and bridesmaids were also beyond happy with their makeup, and several of them told me it was the best wedding makeup they've ever had. Rosie is not only an incredibly talented makeup artist, but also such a kind and fun person to have with you on such an important day. I am so grateful I found her and would recommend her to any bride without a doubt!

meone who’s extremely Type A, I usually worry about every little thing—but with Rosie and Amy, I didn’t have to. I fully trusted them to bring my vision to life, and they absolutely delivered. Beyond their professionalism, what truly sets them apart is how genuinely kind, fun, and caring they are. That rare balance of being both exceptional at what they do and such a joy to be around made a huge difference on a high-stress day. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone—including my closest friends. You won’t regret working with them!

We were all on schedule, and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

e artist, she is so warm and kind. My mom has been undergoing chemo so does not have hair, including eyebrows and eye lashes. Despite this, Rosie took so much care to make sure my mom felt beautiful, talking with her about how she wanted her makeup done and wig styled. She led with such compassion, trying different options until my mom finally “felt like herself.” Rosie made both days extra special and I can’t thank her enough! It goes without saying that I highly recommend Rosie!! :)

As an out-of-town bride planning a Rhode Island wedding from Florida, finding a makeup artist was one of the easier parts of the planning process and that's all thanks to Rosie. No...

t only is she a true gem of a person, but she's also very professional and an exceptional makeup artist! From the minute I reached out she was prompt in her responses, easy to talk to, flexible and understanding of my unreliable schedule, and even recommended a hairstylist to me. I also felt that her prices were very fair in comparison to other makeup artists in the area. Rosie has a way of listening to what you want and making it perfect for *you* - Your bone structure, your facial features, whatever it may be, she knows how to accentuate to perfection. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, and wanted to feel a little 'done-up' but still feel like myself, and Rosie knew just what to do. I just got a sneak peak of our pics and I am SO pleased with my makeup! I truly look like I have a filter on, but still look like myself - it's *exactly* what I wanted. I also have to add that Rosie is a JOY to work with. My bridesmaids continued to talk about how much fun they had with Rosie and Amy Jo (her hairstylist recommendation) well through the wedding and days after. It made me realize that Rosie & Amy Jo came in on the morning of the wedding and set the *best* tone for all of us - Something you don't think about or realize how important it is until after it's all said and done. I didn't know how I'd be feeling the morning of, and there were zero nerves because the overall energy in suite was beaming with positivity. I love you for that, Rosie and Amy Jo. You won't regret bringing Rosie onto your team if you have an upcoming RI/NE wedding! And if she recommends Amy Jo for hair... don't even question it. Just do it.

The morning never felt rushed and each person was blown away by the results looking in the mirror. My bridal look was more perfect than I ever could have dreamed of, all thanks to their talent & vision. Rosie created a gorgeous 'soft glam' look for me that elevated my usual very natural makeup look which was so perfect for the wedding and translated beautifully in photo and video. My makeup lasted all day without requiring much touching-up, though Rosie thought ahead and had provided me with a little bag of anything I might need to freshen up the look. She goes above and beyond, thinking of anything to make the day seamless and special. I highly recommend working with Rosie (& Amy)!
