Sara did my makeup for my May wedding and I couldn't have been happier! My husband and I got married outside on a nearly 90-degree day but everyone"s makeup lasted so well, even through all the outside photos and ceremony! Sara was so easy to work with; communication was smooth and quick. My mom and I had never had our makeup done professionally before so we were a bit nervous about looking too 'done up' but Sara did a fantastic job of helping us look like us, just enhanced! I also really appreciated her willingness to come to my home for a makeup trial before the wedding. I would highly recommend Sara for professional makeup services and wouldn't hesitate to book her for an event if the need arises in the future!

Sara Foth
Owner
There are so many reasons why I love doing makeup for weddings, but the main reason is that no two brides are alike- some want the total glam look for their big day and others prefer something more subtle. I love being able to make my bride look amazing to the way that SHE wants it, regardless of the amount of makeup I put on her. I feel it's most important for her to look like the best version herself on her wedding day while still feeling like herself. I am a firm believer in professionalism and I strive to deliver a top quality makeup service.

She worked efficiently and kept us perfectly on schedule—so much so that we even ended up with a little extra time to relax before the ceremony. Her talent, professionalism, and calming presence made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist and would highly recommend her to any bride!

sional makeup at other weddings, so I was nervous going into my wedding that I wouldn't look like myself. My fears were completely unnecessary! Sara listened to what I wanted, and she made me look like the best version of myself. When I look at my photos, I look like ME, just the best version of me. The same is true for my entire bridal party. Everyone just looked like an incredible version of themselves. Sara was also very efficient, and this is the first wedding I've been in where everyone was ready on time! There was no scramble to finish up the last person before photos started. I cannot recommend Sara highly enough! If you can get her, snatch her up quickly because you will not be disappointed!

Sara did my wedding makeup, along with my sisters and mother's makeup for the day. She arrived before expected (and was very patient and kind when we were significantly later than ...
expected), and was able to work beautifully under a time crunch. Her prices were super affordable in comparisons to others I saw, and the quality of her work was outstanding. Myself and my family aren't used to getting our makeup done by someone else, but she made all of us feel comfortable and ensured we ended up with a final product we loved. Besides that, she is super friendly. All in all, I would recommend Sara time and time again, we loved her!

most instantly that she was available and willing to help me! A few days later, she showed up at my apartment with all of her tools and airbrush machine and made me look FLAWLESS for my engagement pictures. I was so eager to work with her again, so I booked her for my wedding! :) and in a strange turn of events was also able to refer my best friend over to Sara for her wedding as well! Sara made me, my mom(s), and bridesmaids look incredible on my big day! She was so nice and friendly, super easy to talk to, and extremely accommodating (willing to travel all the way to Lake Geneva,WI for my wedding, AND able to add in a few more faces at the last minute )! It was such a pleasure working with Sara, I will be recommending her to everyone I know!

e arrived to our hotel for makeup right on time and got right to work prepping her things. She moves quickly, but she still focuses 100% on the person she's working on. She pays attention to what you're saying about what you normally wear and she doesn't push you to do anything you aren't comfortable with.
She was so patient when we started running ahead of schedule and the next ladies weren't quite ready to have their makeup done.
Everyone' makeup was flawless and we all looked amazing even at midnight! I have already recommended her to another soon-to-be-bride! We received so many compliments and we owe it all to Sara and her talents. Keep up the great work!
