We worked with Styles by Callie and Makeup by Sarah Lord for our August wedding, and they were absolutely wonderful. Sarah went above and beyond during my trial to talk through eve...
ry detail of the look I wanted. We worked closely together to make sure I would look and feel my best on such an important day. On the wedding day, Sarah and her team provided makeup for a group of bridesmaids and two moms, and everyone received exactly the look they hoped for. Most importantly, our makeup lasted beautifully late into the night. I highly recommend Sarah — she’s incredibly sweet, attentive, and truly makes you feel your best!
Working with Sarah for my July 2025 wedding was absolutely wonderful! I can’t recommend her enough. She has such a calming presence and makes you feel like you’ve been friends for ...
years. My makeup was stunning, lasted all night, and made me feel so beautiful & confident. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup as well. Last minute, my grandmother decided she wanted to get her makeup done too. Sarah immediately put me at ease and happily added my grandmother into the mix, calling it “glam for Gram.” My grandmother never wears makeup and was thrilled with how natural & lovely she looked. Sarah went above and beyond, even thinking to take photos of us all getting our hair and makeup done that she sent me afterwards. I love her natural and clean makeup approach too. Sarah is incredibly talented, kind, and professional. I’m so happy I got to work with Sarah and am so grateful she helped to make me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life.
OMG the dream team! We had a very big wedding party with several aunts included in the morning of the wedding. Sarah made it happen. I also had some changes of heart with the look ...
I was hoping for and Sarah somehow understood despite my inability to express // inexperience. She knows what she's doing but more than that, she's the incredible partner and unflappable personality that you need on the morning of your wedding!
Working with Sarah was an absolute dream! My wedding party and I loved getting our makeup done by her. She was so accommodating to changes I wanted to make after our trial. My make...
up lasted throughout the entire night and I felt so confident and comfortable thanks to her. She has such a calming energy and presence and was a huge part in making my morning a relaxing one. I can’t recommend her enough!
Sarah is truly the best! I got married this past September at the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport Maine, and working with her was an absolute dream. She took the time to listen to...
my vision while also bringing her incredible talent to the table. I loved how my makeup turned out-it was everything I hoped for and made me feel like a princess all day long.
My bridesmaids couldn’t stop raving about their makeup either! Everyone felt so beautiful and confident. Beyond her amazing skills, Sarah brought such fun, calming, and positive energy to my wedding morning. It set the tone for the entire day and is something I’ll always cherish.
I truly couldn’t have asked for a better glam team. If you’re thinking about hiring Sarah- do it!!
If you want to look and feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day, Sarah and her team are the ones to call! From my very first consultation, Sarah truly listened t...
o my vision and made thoughtful suggestions to ensure we nailed the look. She’s an incredible listener, flexible with changes, and so committed to making you feel confident.
On my wedding day, Sarah’s calming energy was exactly what I needed—getting my makeup done with her felt like hanging out with an old friend. I felt beautiful, natural, and completely myself, and my makeup lasted flawlessly through August heat and plenty of happy tears without ever feeling heavy or cakey.
My bridesmaids were just as obsessed with her as I was, and we’re all still talking about how amazing she was. Sarah made me feel radiant on the most important day of my life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Working with Sarah is like hanging out with a close friend - even though we just met! My goal with my wedding makeup was to feel exactly like myself, but elevated, and she did exac...
tly that. I have fair skin with freckles and she was able to cover my redness while still letting my freckles shine through. I highly recommend Sarah and I hope I’m able to get my makeup done by her for another event.
Absolutely amazing! Sarah is so incredibly talented on top of being so kind and supportive throughout the whole getting ready process. I have never looked better than when she did ...

An Exceptional Experience with Sarah Lord
I am so grateful to Sarah Lord for making me and my entire wedding party look and feel absolutely beautiful on our big day! From the momen...
t we met, Sarah’s professionalism and attention to detail were evident. She took the time to understand the look I was going for and brought it to life in the most flawless way.
Sarah did an incredible job with the makeup for not only me but also my bridesmaids, mother, and the rest of the wedding party. Everyone looked stunning, and the makeup stayed perfect all day long.
What truly stood out was Sarah's punctuality and her calm, friendly demeanor. She was on time and made sure everything went smoothly without feeling rushed. She was a true professional, and I felt completely at ease in her hands.
If you're looking for a makeup artist who is talented, detail-oriented, and truly cares about making you feel your best on your wedding day, I highly recommend Sarah Lord. Thank you again for making our day even more special!
I was super happy I chose Sarah to do my bridal makeup. My makeup turned out great, it lasted all day/night, and the whole experience was a breeze. My bridal party also loved their...
looks, especially my mom who typically hates getting her makeup done so that was really important to me! I also love that Sarah and Callie (hair) have worked together for so long - it made the trial and day-of getting ready experience relaxed and fun. I highly recommend Sarah!
Sarah made me feel like a million bucks on my wedding day! She did makeup for me, my 9 bridesmaids, and two moms, all within a few hours. She instantly made me feel comfortable and...
she was easy to talk to, which made the experience so enjoyable. I left my trial feeling like we were best friends after gabbing for an hour about Bravo shows (I have a feeling most of her clients feel this way after working with her!).
On my wedding day she listened to what I wanted and made changes along the way. I can’t recommend a better make up artist for your big day. She will make you look and feel your absolute best!
Sarah Lord was incredible! She managed our massive bridal party flawlessly on a tight timeline, and everyone looked amazing. I was nervous about my wedding makeup because I don’t w...

I cannot recommend Sarah and Kate highly enough! I hired Sarah and her team for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day makeup, and they went above and beyond. Sarah did a wonderful jo...
b capturing my vision, providing me with two distinct and beautiful looks that perfectly suited each occasion. As someone who prefers a natural look, I was thrilled with how Sarah accentuated my features while ensuring I still felt like myself. Additionally, on my wedding day, Sarah and Kate were a calming presence amidst a hectic getting ready morning, jumping to the rescue. I highly recommend hiring Sarah and her team – they are incredibly talented and a joy to work with!

Sarah and her team are AMAZING! I almost never wear makeup, and was very nervous going into my trial. Sarah instantly put me at ease, and gave me a perfectly natural elevated look....
I looked like me (but better!!!). She gave me all kinds of tips and tricks on how to prep for the wedding, and was adored by my entire wedding party and family. Sarah has a warm, calming presence. She made all of my girlfriends feel listened to, cared for, and beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous makeup artist (and all around great person!).
Sarah and her assistant Kate were incredible. There are no other words to describe them. They came in to my bridal suite and it was like they had known us forever. I have very dry ...
skin and one of my cousins has eczema and Sarah knew exactly what to do to make our skin look flawless. All of us were looking at each other just saying how amazing each other's makeup looked. Sarah's specialty is natural makeup which was perfect for someone like me who wanted a full glam but doesn't wear a lot of products to begin with. Sarah and Kate were so talented, fun and above all else they were kind. My niece was my flower girl and was mesmerized watching all of us get ready, I hadn't planned any hair or makeup for her but Sarah and Kate took no time calling her over to the chair and telling her it was her turn and they saved the special flower girl for last. She was SO excited (we literally caught her admiring herself in any mirror she passed the whole night". I loved working with this team and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making us all feel so beautiful

completely understood this and she made me feel so beautiful while looking like myself. On the wedding day, she was so calm, and kind and everyone loved her. All of my girls (bridesmaids, MOB & MOG) felt so beautiful the day of and cannot stop looking at our pictures.
Oh my goodness where to begin... Ladies in the New England area RUN to book Sarah for your wedding!!! I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and that is all beca...
use of Sarah! Sarah is easy to work with, a visonary, and so talented. As someone who doesn't know much about makeup Sarah made me feel comfortable being able to say "just do what you think would look best" and she ran with it! She is timely, professional and so easy to chat with and keeps you nice and calm on your wedding day. AND the best part - my make up stayed ALL NIGHT. I didn't leave the dance floor once and my glam at the end of the night looked prestine. I cannot thank Sarah enough for everything she does for her brides, and I am trying to find an excuse to book her again!
Sarah, Callie, and their assistants were so excellent. All 7 bridesmaids, the moms, and I could not have felt more beautiful. Our make up lasted all night and our hair stayed put! ...
They were professional and so fun to hang out with in the bridal suite. They were also quick and effective communicators during the planning process. I cannot recommend them enough!
Sarah is the best! I wanted elevated natural looking makeup and that’s exactly what she did. My wedding makeup felt lightweight but glam all at the same time!!

ms and did a little bit of glitter for our flower girl. We started around 9am and we were finished in record time. All of the ladies looked absolutely beautiful and Sarah was receptive and open to explanation throughout the entire process, even for those who typically don't wear makeup. I highly suggest her services--and she is willing to recommend other beauty services to help you look absolutely fabulous for your day.
Sarah was incredible! She made me and all of the bridesmaids feel absolutely beautiful. She is incredibly talented and so kind! I loved having her as a part of my wedding day.
Sarah is an incredibly talented MUA. I wanted a dramatic glam look on my wedding and she delivered on all accounts. Also, as an Asian woman, it was important to me that she had exp...
erience with Asian facial features in her portfolio and she nailed it. She was also able to accommodate my mom who was a last minute add on and everyone was finished early! And finally, and most importantly, my makeup held up beautifully throughout the entire day though happy tears and lots of dancing sweat.
Sarah and Callie were the perfect dream team the day of my wedding! I felt gorgeous! My makeup looked flawless and lasted all day/night. I looked like myself, but the best version!...
My bridal party also looked fabulous and we all received compliments on our hair and makeup. Thank you!
One of my main goals for my wedding day was to look like myself and Sarah totally understood that. She expertly made sure that my makeup looked beautiful, yet natural. Additionally...
, she took into consideration my concern about darker lip colors and heavy lashes, and suggested a lip color and lash size that were perfect for me! Day-of, she and her team made me and my bridal party look like movie stars! They worked quickly and got us all done ahead of schedule. I am so appreciate that she was part of the glam squad for my wedding!
Sarah was wonderful to work with! She did the make-up for my entire bridal party. She was super easy to chat with and completely got the look we were looking for each our make-up l...
ooks.
Sarah showed up late to my best friend’s wedding day WITHOUT her makeup kit. No phone call first - just showed up, as the hired makeup artist, without her makeup. Her initial “solu...
tion” was to ask to use our own makeup. She then left the venue to go to a local store to purchase makeup to use. The application felt rushed and she left everyone’s face incomplete without any lipstick/gloss. We were all trying to keep a straight face on so as not to overwhelm the bride any more than she already was. The amount of added stress this caused on an already nerve-racking day for the bride was disheartening. When the bride reached out to inquire about a discount that was loosely discussed at the time of service, Sarah came back with no apologies, no discounts and even called the day “a win.” This level of unprofessionalism is a shock and hopefully helps future brides when considering Sarah Lord.
Sarah was such an easy decision!! After looking at her work from weddings I knew that I needed her to work her magic for myself (bride), my bridesmaids & moms! She specializes in ...
natural beauty which what I was looking for in a makeup artist! Sarah took my ideas and went with them and did such an amazing job. I absolutely LOVED my bridal makeup. My bridesmaids were SO happy with their makeup & so were the moms! Also, we danced the WHOLE night & our makeup stayed put!
Sarah is incredibly talented and has over 10+ years of experience, it's a no brainer-- you need her :)
Thank you again, Sarah!
Sarah did a fantastic job with wedding makeup for me (the bride), my bridesmaids, and the moms! I live in Colorado, so I couldn't get to Newburyport for my makeup trial until the w...
eek of the wedding, but it actually ended up being perfect. I was able to wear my makeup for the day and have ideas fresh in my mind for the wedding - Sarah was super open to changing up my wedding makeup after the trial and executed my vision perfectly. I felt so beautiful and special while still looking like myself. She was also so fast without compromising the quality of her work. The entire bridal party was done getting ready well before the photographer even arrived, so we were able to just relax and spend time together without being rushed!
Best Choice! I picked Sara after recommended by the Willowdale about a year before my wedding and i'm so glad I did. She's super easy to work, professional, and makes everything st...
ress free. We did a trial about two months before the day which gave us the opportunity to get to know each other and work on my day of look which we recreated the day of and it looked perfect! She also did my mom and bridesmaids make up which all turned out so beautiful. She's worth every penny - I can't recommend her enough!
Highly recommend! I used the duo of Sarah and Callie for my hair/makeup for my wedding and it was worth every penny! I had a large wedding party, but they made the whole process ...
go smoothly and stress free. My bridesmaids felt and looked gorgeous, and more importantly Sarah was able to keep everyone looking so natural and not like they had layers of makeup on. Her team was great, and we had such a fun morning with all the girls getting ready for the big day.
The best of the best. Sarah was one of the first choices I made in my wedding planning about two years out from the date and was without a doubt, one of the best choices I made.
...
Sarah was easy to work with, accommodating to my bridal party, and is an incredibly talented make-up artist. Each of my bridesmaids were at ease in the getting ready process and in love with their make-up. It makes a world of a difference when each gal LOVES how they look and feel. The pictures of the bridal party that we received back are proof of that, as everyone was glowing. We also did not need many touch-ups after a long day of photos as the make-up held perfectly.
Make your wedding day make-up easy and beautiful by choosing Sarah! I would highly recommend her to all future brides!
Sarah and Callie were an awesome makeup and hair pair. They were so accommodating with the different style requests and made sure we were happy with everything every step of the wa...
y. They also were more than happy to give us last checks on our hair and makeup before we left the studio. They were super accommodating with the last minute schedule change as well. Overall, amazing work (I was called a princess by our little guests - it was THAT good and I had the confidence to be in every darn picture) and skilled pair. Would hire them again for sure.
Sarah was amazing!! She was incredibly kind and patient throughout the whole process. She walked me through every step at the trial and the day of. I don't think I have ever felt s...

ssional, and friendly!
My bridesmaids were looking for a more natural look (“them” but more polished/refined), and Sarah made every single one look gorgeous on the day of the wedding and her work photographed so well! Not to mention lasted all through the night of dancing! Thanks Sarah!!
Can’t recommend Sarah enough!
Sarah is so much fun to work with! She worked with me to see that I had an opportunity to do a makeup trial as I came in from out of town. She really listened to me as I showed her...
pictures of what I was thinking, taking into account my skin color and overall dream of the day. She knows so much about planning a wedding and how to support the bridal party during the process that she made the experience unforgettable. Thank you Sarah for everything!
Sarah and her team were amazing!!!
The ladies were professional yet easy going and enjoyable to have around. They did a great job making my bridesmaids look gorgeous.

s before my wedding so that I didn't have to deal with it in the months right before my wedding. On my wedding day, they were on time, professional and a calming presence. I don't wear a lot of makeup normally so I wanted something natural, but fitting for my wedding day and Sarah did exactly that.
Sarah was amazing to work with and always easy to reach out to. I’m the first to admit I don’t know the first thing about makeup but Sarah makes you feel comfortable and I had no d...
ifficulties trusting her. I wanted a natural look and nothing over the top…wanting to look like myself on my wedding day of course and she delivered just that! Sarah arrived at my hotel room on time and jumped right in, she is very easy to talk to and it felt like she was a part of the group :) I heard so many compliments that night on how great everyone in the bridal party looked. I’m so happy that Sarah was able to do the makeup for my wedding day; she put me at ease, listened to everyone’s requests, and made me feel beautiful…what more can you ask for?!?
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sarah and I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Sarah saved me when the original make-up artist I hired had to cancel two weeks before...
my wedding. I sent the saddest, most pathetic-sounding email ever, and Sarah reached out to me almost immediately with the best response, "I got you." And she was 100000% right. We talked on the phone that same day and she made me feel so much better about the situation. It meant so much to me that she basically could have just scribbled across my face with eyeliner the day of the wedding and I still would have absolutely loved her. Fortunately, she is also the best make-up artist that I have ever worked with. I went in for my trial with Sarah and her partner, Callie, who is an equally amazing and talented hair stylist. They knocked my socks off. The day of my wedding was the same thing. These girls were so much fun to be with that I just felt like I was hanging out with some friends who also happened to be doing my hair and makeup. They were also ridiculously efficient - my bridesmaids and the moms looked amazing and we never had to worry about a time crunch. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day while also still looking like myself and not a Kardashian. Sarah and Callie are so incredible, and I am so, so, so lucky to have found them. Thank you, ladies!!!
Sarah is the best. She was recommended by our photographer and was so easy to work with. Her business partner Callie did hair for us and they are both so capable and great at what ...
they do but also just a pleasure to hang out with! My trial was great and when i wanted to change my makeup a bit from the trial to the wedding day she adjusted to exactly what i wanted. She made suggestions but wasn't pushy and knew what would look best on my skin and in photographs, while still staying true to my style. The best compliment I got that day was "your makeup looks amazing and you look like YOU." I never once was worried about my makeup the entire wedding day and it didn't feel heavy or overdone. She also recommended a lip color so that I could buy it before the wedding and hold on to it all day for touch-ups - and now i use it all the time! She also spends a lot of time learning about new types of makeup and skincare and is generally a reliable source for whatever you need in that department. I wanted a low-drama setting to get ready with all of my friends and Sarah and Callie fit right in and worked quickly but we never felt the least bit rushed. She also traveled to Cape Cod for us and was always punctual and responsive on email. Get her if you can!!
