Mary is amazing. She takes her time in making sure you feel absolutely incredible and beautiful. I never wanted to take my makeup off. I am so honored that she made the trip to do ...
makeup for myself and bridal party. Her attention to detail and professionalism sets her apart. Mary offered helpful suggestions, was on time, and did retouches right before pictures. She left me with gloss to reapply throughout the day, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how my wedding day makeup turned out!
Mary had done makeup for my mom through our ballroom dance studio, and we really enjoyed working with her both times. For my wedding, Mary was a lifesaver. I found her friendly, ea...
sy to be around, and a delight to work with. She punctually showed up at our hotel at some wee hour of the morning (I'm afraid I don't even recall when it was, I was half awake myself!) on my wedding day to do makeup for all EIGHT members of the bridal party! We went with a natural look and she did a picture perfect job with each of us, finishing right on time according to her estimations, with a few minutes to spare. I highly recommend Mary for whatever your makeup needs may be.
Mary and her team were amazing! We had about nine ladies for makeup and Mary Wallis Makeup did an incredible job doing flawless makeup extremely fast. As the bride, I was in love w...
ith the look Mary gave me. I felt like a queen and did not have makeup caked on. She accented my eyes perfectly and so easily. Every lady had airbrushing which was so much fun! We were all amazed with how we looked. Our makeup artists remained composed and professional. They were absolutely incredible.
Mary is as kind as she is talented and truly made me feel my best on my wedding day. Mary did my trial the morning of my engagement pictures so I could see how the makeup would pho...
tograph. I knew once I saw the pictures that I had made a great choice! She is so professional and answered any question I had throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding was like getting ready with an old friend and she really surpassed my expections the day of the wedding after changing my look at the last minute. Everyone still says how great my makeup looked and it stayed perfect through pictures and hours of dancing. She was an absolute dream to work with and I am so happy I chose Mary as part of my bridal team!
Mary did an outstanding job on myself, my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom! We were under a time constraint for getting ready and Mary adjusted to that sea...
mlessly. She got everyone done in the time we had but with no flaws - you certainly could tell no difference if she spent an hour on the girls or 25 minutes - everyone's makeup came out perfect. She really listens to what you want which was something so important to me. She will do whatever you feel comfortable with while making good, expert suggestions. It was the perfect mix. She is such a delight as well! I know two other brides that used her prior and all had nothing but amazing things to say! I would highly recommend her. Everyone commented on how great my makeup came out - it was natural and flawless.
She's the best! I'm the third the third in my family to get married and every time we used a different make up person because we didn't love our make up. When my younger sister get...

n her services that after having my trial with her, and only her, I booked her for my big day. Not only was I happy with my makeup, but my entire bridal party and even my mother and mother in law were all thrilled with their makeup. All morning everyone kept telling me how sweet, kind and talented Mary is - and it's true! She was very helpful during the process of me purchasing makeup for the day of as well. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone who is seeking a flawless, naturally beautiful we'd day day look that will last through the night!!!
Amazing
I found Mary because she did makeup for my cousin's wedding. My cousin and her bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning. When I did a trial with Mary, she showed me some styles to se...
e what I would like. (I like the more natural look with smoky eyes.) She did a beautiful job with the airbrush, eye shadow and eyelashes and pulled it all together so that it did not look overdone at all. She replicated the trial beautifully on my wedding day. The makeup stayed the entire night and I never felt like I needed to retouch it. My mother and bridesmaids had their make up also done by Mary at my house and they all looked so beautiful. Mary was so pleasant to work with and was always very good about getting back to me if we had any questions leading up to the wedding.
I could not have been more thrilled with my wedding day make up. Mary did such an amazing, professional job on me, my bridesmaids, and the moms! I still look back on my photos and ...
wish I could have Mary to do my make up every day :) I would recommend her to anyone in the North Jersey/NYC area, and hope to convince my friends to use her as well.

Mary was wonderful! She was so kind during the morning of my wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and was so great with my bridal party. She even managed to make my moody flowe...
r girl smile. She had a large amount of girls to do and never once did she make me feel rushed or stressed.
She even took the time to find my photographer when she was doing my touch ups to make sure he got some great photos.
She really loves what she does and made me feel absolutely beautiful. Also, I never felt the need to touch up any of my make up other than some lipstick throughout the night and just the littlest bit of powder after crying during my father daughter dance. The recommendations she made during my trial were great and I still use those products during my day to day.
I will be recommending her to all my friends and family in the future.
Mary does amazing airbrush makeup! I absolutely loved both my trial and my wedding day makeup. I was looking for airbrush because I have heard how well it photographs and stays al...

art from others. Mary offered helpful suggestions, was on time, and did retouches right before pictures. She included my jr bridesmaid (only 13) and made her feel so special without making her look overdone. Mary helped me feel calm and confident on my wedding day, and my pictures are beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone who can get her.
Mary was so great to work with. She is extremely talented, and made my day completely stress free and perfect. Mary did my makeup as well as my bridesmaids. I was so incredibly h...

ically wear a lot of makeup, so she made recommendations and I fell in love with what she did for my trial. Everything was so natural and perfect for my big day. On the day of, she arrived first thing in the morning and not only did my makeup, but my mom and 7 bridesmaids as well. Even with such a big group, we were all ready on time and everyone looked stunning. I received multiple compliments throughout the day on how beautiful my makeup was. It held up all day and night, and she even gave me samples for "touch ups." I would happily use Mary Wallis again to do my makeup for any future events I have!
Such great quality and service. She made me look so beautiful that day.
I used Mary Wallis for my August 2014 wedding - she did my makeup (the bride) and most of my bridesmaids as well. She did an incredible job on all of us, but that's not even the be...
st part. She was patient, so nice to everyone the whole time, she really listened to and respected what I wanted (and this is not always the case with makeup vendors who like to tell you what they think you should do or just apply it anyway when you ask them not to). I got so many compliments on my makeup at my wedding but more importantly the pictures came out so nice and my skin looks (and isn't) flawless. I couldn't be happier with my decision and will definitely continue to use Mary for any makeup needs in the future. Definitely recommend.
Mary is extremely talented at what she does! She listens to what you want and works with you to help you find the perfect make up for your special day! She knew what I wanted bet...
ter than me! I received compliments from everyone and the make up lasted ALL night!! On top of it Mary is so sweet! She did my make up for my wedding as well as my bridesmaids, we all were very happy with her work! I highly recommend Mary for your special day!

s an artist, she is patient and flawless. I received so many compliments on my makeup, as well as my mother, sister and sister in law who also were made up. Mary was so sweet and provided such wonderful company for us on my wedding day while she was working. The finished product looked glamorous yet natural - I can't say enough about how happy I was with both my look and Mary as a person. Thank you so much!
Mary K Wallis is a very reliable, reasonably priced and talented make-up artist. She is very patient during the make-up trial, and really pays attention to your needs and what you ...
want your look to be. She has so many great products and really knows what is best for each person. She is certified in airbrushing and makes everyone's skin look flawless, but still natural. On my wedding day, she was there right on time, and made me feel beautiful. The best part is, somehow the way she puts on make-up makes it look "freshly done" even hours after application. I woke up the next day without washing my face and it still looked good!
Mary was worth every penny, and MORE! I pride myself on being good at applying my own makeup (you won't see me walking around with make-up lines or uneven eye shadow), but I had n...
o idea what a tremendous difference a professional could make! And, Mary is certainly a professional.
Mary and I met once before my wedding for a makeup trial so that she could learn my likes/dislikes and choose/test the products for my big day. She had quite a supply of makeup--anything I could've wanted--and was great at suggesting colors for my skin tone, time of year of the wedding, etc.
The morning of my wedding, Mary met me at my wedding venue, set up, and got started. She was so easy (and fun) to work with and fit right in with the rest of my bridal party. She did an absolutely AMAZING job! My makeup looked more fabulous than I had even hoped! Plus, she coached me through any concerns I had about crying, sweating (outdoor ceremony in August + dancing all night), etc. She certainly knows all the tricks. She even set me up with samples (powder, lipstick and lipgloss) so I could refresh my makeup if I wanted to--not that I even needed to.
I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to make a big impression on their big day!
Mary is an amazing mack-up artist! Everyone would not stop talking about how good the bridal party's make-up looked. The hairstylist actually asked for Marys card. Mary is so sweet...
, she makes you feel comfortable, and listens to exactly what you want. My make-up looked perfect all day long. I would recommend her to everyone!
Mary first did my makeup when I was a maid of honor in my friend's wedding and I loved how natural it looked and how long it lasted. I knew she was my choice for my wedding. She di...
d a fabulous job on all my bridesmaids, the moms, and myself. Her makeup feels and looks natural, all while looking special for the bride. It didn't even cause a reaction on my sensitive skin. Mary is so personable and allows you to relax during the chaos of the day. I have recommended her to my engaged friends because she was so great.
I was blessed to have Mary be a part of my wedding day. Not only is she an exceptional make-up artist, but her sweet and caring personality made me feel totally comfortable and at...
ease! I did not worry or once about my make-up. I never even had to touch up. I received so many compliments about how my make-up was done, and I know that was all because of Mary. Every time I look at my wedding album I think of her and what a great job she did.
Mary was amazing to work with. I was probably difficult because I had a hard time giving her any direction as I usually do my makeup the exact same way every day - so I wanted some...
thing different on my big day... but not TOO different... and that's about the extent of what I told her, haha. Mary made me look beautiful and she accomplished exactly what I pictured for myself. My 4 bridesmaids, Mom and Mother-in-law were also super happy - they're all very different, some wanted 'natural,' while some wanted 'glam,' and they were all so happy with the results. Added bonus - Mary is the sweetest person, a true delight to have around. I echo what another reviewer said - totally professional, but someone you are glad to have around on what is a crazy (and exciting) day. She was calm and collected and exceeded my expectations. Obviously I recommend her highly!
Mary was a pleasure to work with. When I went for my make-up trial, she had pages upon pages of pictures I could look through to give her an idea of what type of makeup I was look...
ing for. I ended up going for a natural look - and she really listened and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I knew that her talent, professionalism and personality were a perfect fit and immediately knew she was the one for my wedding makeup. On the wedding day, she came to my hotel and did my makeup as well as my bridesmaids, mother and mother of the groom. Everyone was very pleased with her - my mother looked STUNNING! Her products are also high quality (Bobbi Brown) and she has had personal training at the Bobbi Brown studio by Bobbi herself. Not only did Mary do my makeup, she also gave my husband and I dance lessons!!! We got so many complements about our dance it was well worth it. Mary was such a pleasure to work with and I actually plan on going back to her soon to have her update my makeup!! I would recommend to anyone who wants a flawless and beautiful makeup look for their wedding :)
If you want flawless, detailed makeup by a professional talented makeup artist, call Mary K Wallis!
She listens intently to the look you desire and can recreate your description...
flawlessly. For my wedding, she not only perfected my light smokey eye desire with fake lashes and airbrush foundation, but completed 10 people in a timely matter, including my Mother, Aunt, and Grandmother. Everyone looked beautiful with their own style showing through, never looking overdone. Her talent and hard work are all complemented by her sweet personality which makes the entire experience calm, comfortable, and efficient!
Mary did an amazing job with my makeup for my June wedding. I truly felt like a princess for the day. I decided on the airbrush makeup as well as the false eyelashes. The make...
up lasted all day the only thing that I had to touch up was my lipstick. I received many compliments about it all day long. I was so happy with Mary that I'm booking her again for my husands brothers wedding in March, I didn't have to think twice about it. THANKS AGAIN Mary
Mary is an amazing makeup artist and the only person I would trust my special day to! Mary first did my makeup for my sister's wedding 6 years ago. Mary did a beautiful job and m...
y makeup stayed perfect from the church, through the reception, and even afterwards for drinks at the hotel bar. Three years later, when it was my turn to be the bride, there was no question in my mind who I would choose to do makeup for myself and my bridal party. Again, Mary did an amazing job! She is so talented and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
I hired Mary to do my wedding day makeup and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! When I first met with Mary I know I had NO idea what I wanted to do for my wedd...
ing day makeup, she was so patient with me and helped me come up with a look so much better than I ever could have imagined! She also made all my bridesmaids and mom look amazing and she had excellent time management on the wedding day, we were done right on time and she was so pleasant to be around before my wedding, she made me feel calm and relaxed. When you're shopping for a makeup artist that will make you look and feel beautiful for your wedding you HAVE to call Mary!
There are not enough good things that i can say about my experience with Mary. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your brida...
l party look flawless from the beginning to the end of your wedding. Her prices are very reasonable in comparison to other artists i met with. I was very impressed with her ability to manage time and complete 11 girls makeup in 5 hours each looking unique and beautiful. Once she finished with the last girl she stayed till the end of the picture session at my home to touch everyone up before we got into the limo's to head to the ceremony. I would strongly recommend Mary to other Bride's who are looking for a professional make-up artist.
My experience with Mary was amazing from beginning to end! Her trial price was very fair, she even told me exactly what lipstick and lipgloss to purchase so I could have it for tou...
ch ups all day for my wedding. (Sandwash Pink by bobbi brown is still my "go to" color and reminds me of my wedding day every time I put it on.) The day of my wedding Mary arrived early, she was prepared with tons of product. I used the airbrush makeup and false lash extensions. My makeup was flawless. I looked like the most natural & radiant version of myself that I had ever seen -thanks to Mary (& maybe due in part to the fact that I was marrying the love of my life )
I am the kind of person who prefers to do things right and sometimes that means doing it myself. I am so glad that I left the makeup to Mary, she really is the only person I would have trusted to handle my face on the most important day of my life. Her service was above and beyond my expectations. Your wedding is an emotional day which may result in some tears of joy, I know mine did. After the ceremony Mary ran right out to the limo, pulled some powder and brushes out of her bag and touched up my makeup before we went for pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, and when I look at my wedding album I am so grateful to LOVE what I see. I would highly recommend Makeup by Mary K Wallis to other brides.
