Natalie Shafie Makeup Artist / Servicing MASS, RI & NH

. Scheduling a trial with her was super easy as she was very flexible. I cannot say enough good things- I really lucked out that she was available on my wedding date!

ount of make up and was just looked for an enhanced natural-look. She nailed it! Both my sister and I got make up done for the wedding and Natalie had us both looking and feeling our best. I absolutely recommend booking with Natalie!

ding day and more importantly, I felt like myself! Natalie helped me achieve exactly the style I wanted - natural glam with a focus on my eyes. I didn’t have any sample photos for Natalie but rather communicated the “look” I was going for and she executed it PERFECTLY. Her use of airbrush made me feel light and ensured my makeup was applied flawlessly - and it stayed on perfectly all night! My bridesmaids all LOVED Natalie and are still talking about how obsessed they are with her work. I received endless compliments throughout the evening and after my wedding about how stunning my make up was and how I “still looked like myself”. Natalie is a true artist, making your wedding a dream with the finest products, but most importantly, she has a tremendously calming aura about her. She brought so much zen, good vibes and positivity to my bridal suite on a morning that friends say is typically “chaotic”. With Natalie, it wasn’t. I felt completely at ease with her. Natalie has a special way about her and I can not recommend her and her artistry enough.

🙏🙏🙏

atalie also brings such positive energy to the room and makes you feel at ease. My mother never has her makeup done and was a bit nervous that she wouldn’t look like herself, but Natalie did a great job making her comfortable and my mother ended up thrilled about her look for the big day. I can not recommend her highly enough. On a day when you want everything to be perfect, Natalie did her part with professionalism and lightheartedness that set the tone for everyone.

cision to have her as the makeup artist for me and my bridal party!

ional. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

loring. It’s amazing how versatile she is! We didn’t look overdone or too similar to each other, and I kept noticing how everyone’s eyes looked unbelievably gorgeous. My bridal makeup lasted the entire day (even after hours on the ocean and several minutes crying!) and looked just as good at midnight as it did at 1am. Another thing was how relaxed and kind Natalie was; she even spent time after I was gone to help the other bridesmaids look for a gift bag that I had left in the room. She got there early and stayed late, out of the goodness of her heart. All in all, I’d tell anyone to hire Natalie for their wedding. Recommend 1000%.

maids and girls in my family). During my engagement photo session, Natalie gave me great skin care tips to focus on leading up to the wedding to look my best on my wedding day and they worked so well. She totally understood my vision for each time she did my makeup and I couldn't be happier that I used her. She also recommended my hairstylist who was equally as flawless (Christine Lyman!). She does a great job at making you look natural/not overdo it, but to still look your absolute best and make certain elements pop in your photos. To say that I felt beautiful and had the look that I dreamed of on my big day is an understatement. Not only is Natalie extremely talented, she is kind, funny and just a pleasure to be around. If I could give Natalie 10 stars, I would!! Again, do not hesitate to book her if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity!!

al looking while also looking beautiful - and airbrush. It looked super natural as well and held up in 97 degree heat. On top of her skills she is just really nice and friendly. She made everyone feel comfortable and even “put makeup” on my three year old niece who was dying to be a part of the experience. I highly recommend her!

ed to everything and nailed it. Her air brush technique is also phenomenal. I've had airbrush makeup done before in the past and it always looked cakey. The air brush she did on me lasted all day and night and looked so natural and flawless. All of my bridesmaids / mom / mother-in-law loved Natalie and their makeup, too. She is also so calm and fun and was lovely to be with on the morning of my wedding! :) She worked with me to travel down to Nantucket the day before to do my rehearsal make up as well.

tiful work, her calming energy and fun personality was exactly what any bride would want/need on her big day. What is so special about Natalie is that she truly listens to what her client wants. Her undeniable talent not only brings any desired look to life but she truly elevates it! Since my wedding day, I have asked Natalie to do my make-up for every event that has come up. Natalie's work is flawless, consistent and versatile. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I come from a family of perfectionists who aren't afraid to speak their minds. Natalie has always left each of us speechless - elated with our looks and checking our calendars to figure out when we can use her services next! I cannot recommend her enough!

alie recommended some great products that I actually still use to this day. Overall she was super sweet and great to work with throughout the entire process from trial to wedding day. I definitely recommend!

eeds of family members and bridesmaids. I described what I wanted to look like the day of my wedding and she delivered in every way possible. I also think that Natalie’s services are competitively priced as I did A LOT of research in this area. I got married in July 2018 in the greater Boston area. On the day of my wedding, the power went out three times while I was getting ready. Natalie kept everyone calm and on track to finish their makeup during the chaos. My bridesmaids even said this was the best makeup they had ever done for a wedding. My makeup looked flawless throughout the day- even during the 85 degree day with 74% humidity!! I can’t wait to use Natalie in the future for anything makeup related!

an I do. That said, I LOVED Natalie's work and if I ever have another event where I need to look especially good, I'd use her again in a heartbeat. I used Natalie for my October 2018 wedding in Boston. I booked her from afar since I was living in NC at the time. I looked through hours and hours of different makeup artists' portfolios and Natalie's stood out from the others...each face she did was beautiful and natural. No crazy before/after transformation photos with her! Plus, she's done Tom Brady's makeup for commercials...I figure if she's good enough for Tom, then she's good enough for me! We did 2 trials to make sure my look was perfect before my big day. And PERFECT is the only way to describe how Natalie made me look on my wedding day! Besides her incredible talent, she was so friendly and handled all the different personalities of my wedding party like a champ. After finishing my makeup, she gave me a full-sized Mac blotting powder and a lipstick that she thought "looked" like me -- and she totally nailed it! I've been using the powder daily and the lipstick has become my new go-to color. I can't say enough positive things about Natalie. She's amazing and I couldn't be happier with her work for my wedding!

sure the look was exactly what i wanted for my wedding. the first look was more of a classic bride look. i wanted more of a golden smoky eye/ glowy tan look, so i brought in a photo and she nailed it. on the day of my wedding, she was so calm and made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. she also knows how to handle the bridesmaids who are looking for a more va va voom look. also, my husband is super picky - he hates when he can see the makeup on my skin.. and he loved the makeup too! also, Natalie applies fake lashes which i kept on for as many days as i could without looking like a crazy person. i can't say enough good things about Natalie- i'm so happy with her work!!

rse, talented! Natalie has a calming presence about her. She did makeup application for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and two mothers all within the allotted time. She made the day of getting ready process easy and enjoyable. Most importantly, Natalie was able to achieve the natural look I was going for. She truly transformed me into the best version of myself without looking overdone (and I'm super picky about makeup). I could not be happier with the way everything came out!

ach product she was using and why. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was nervous about looking "caked on" but Natalie is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced with wedding makeup and has the magic ability to make you look elegant without overdoing it. I didn't want to look like a different person walking down the aisle and was glad to feel beautiful but still like myself. She also did my Mother and MIL's makeup for the wedding and they both looked and felt beautiful. I was so happy to see them feeling confident with themselves on the big day. I have to add Natalie has an AWESOME personality and was so fun to be around while getting ready with the girls. She is outgoing and makes you feel like you've known her for years. I can't recommend her enough!

y of artists seems to do the same look on every bride (dramatic cut crease, bold lip, instagram brow). Seeing Natalie’s work, she immediately stood out as a true artist who is not only incredibly skilled with makeup, but has an eye for what will work best on each individual person. Her portfolio speaks for itself in terms of her skill level! And not only is she incredibly talented, but she is such a fun, warm and awesome person! Getting ready with her and my bridal party was one of the highlights of my wedding! I can’t wait for my next event that I need my makeup done!

s her willingness to work with me to find a makeup style that made me feel special while still looking like myself. After my trial I had some feedback and tweaks that we discussed, and on my wedding day she remembered everything and pulled together a perfect look. I had a large bridal party and a tight timeline and she moved through the morning quickly and calmly, but also managed to keep everyone satisfied with their makeup. She was overall excellent to work with.

xtremely talented and so sweet. Everyone loved the way they looked - and loved her. I would 100% recommend Natalie.

et and really cared to create the exact look I was going for with both my rehearsal dinner and wedding night. I wanted a natural and glowey look and she nailed it! The rest of my bridal party was also thrilled with their outcomes, and she made the whole getting ready process a breeze. You need to feel your best on your wedding night and Natalie is the key to getting you there! Book her!! Thanks again Natalie!!

lled all other trials that I had scheduled. Natalie was so great to work for and did such an amazing job making me and my party look beyond beautiful – I could not have been happier! My makeup looked flawless, lasted all night and Natalie does a great job listening to your visions and really highlighting your best features. She is so talented and knows exactly how to really make everyone look better than their best! There are not enough words to express how amazing she is and how incredible her work is. I highly recommend her and choosing Natalie will be the best and easiest decision you make!

ecommend her. My bridesmaids also loved her and were so thrilled with their makeup. Thanks so much, Natalie!

st her on my wedding day. Not only does she do incredible make up but she is kind, professional and fit right in with my friends and family. It was great to have her be a part of my wedding day! I highly recommend!

sh. I don't wear heavy makeup and the airbrush felt so light and lasted a long time. She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids, and the mothers which all looked gorgeous. Natalie is very talented!!

is THE BEST. I've had my make up done so many times where I feel like it's too heavy, or I don't look like myself and end up fixing it...but I felt AMAZING after Natalie did my make up both times. I loved her so much I booked her for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding in September!

bride. I knew right away I would hire her when my time came. About a year later I got engaged and I reached out to Natalie right away. Turns out she was already booked by another girl I had recommended! Unfortunately she booked the same wedding date I was planning for! I knew I could not have anyone else do my makeup so I actually switched my wedding date to make sure she was the one doing my makeup for my special day.! That being said, Natalie is honestly everything u can ask for in a makeup artist. She is so accommodating to anything you want or need to feel beautiful. As the other reviews mention, aside from her incredible talent with makeup, she is also an overall great person. I assure you she can make any bride feel calm while she's working her magic on you :). I'm extremely picky with my makeup and I never once questioned how beautiful Natalie would make me feel on my wedding day. She was so patient listening to exactly what I wanted and what products I wanted to use, etc. Woth everything I said regarding what I want, she was able to create my perfect look. She also did the make for all my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother-in-law. Everyone looked breathtaking. It was especially amazing seeing the transformation of my mother and mother-in-law who wear minimal makeup on a daily basis. They looked flawless and they both felt so beautiful. Overall I could not imagine anyone being better than her. In fact, this upcoming fall she will be the fifth person I know using her as the makeup artist for her wedding. I recommend Natalie for any event that you want to look your absolute best!

ld have ever imagined. She is the type of makeup artist who can just look at your face and know exactly what will look best. She also did all my bridesmaids makeup and they were all so happy with how they looked! If you are in need of a makeup artist for your wedding you shouldn't even think twice about booking Natalie! If only I could have her around to do my makeup every weekend :)

id a trial with me and really listened to what I was looking for. She was very responsive in communication leading up to the wedding day and was so fun on the day itself! I am so happy to have found her!

keup on. Natalie put me at ease as soon as I sat in her chair. She listened to what I wanted and delivered BEAUTIFULLY! On the wedding day, she put my family and friends at ease and was fun to chat with! She was very professional and made sure everyone loved their look before leaving. I can't say enough good things about Natalie - if she is available, I definitely recommend booking her! The BEST!

nd over again!

bridal shower, she drove to my parents house to do my trial. My trial was great and I LOVED my makeup. However, about two weeks before, I told her I wanted a more "natural" look. She blew me away the day of with her talents. I really felt like a model. She also took extra time with my mom (she hardly ever wears makeup), she made her feel so comfortable and she looked gorgeous! And it meant so much to me that she made her feel so wonderful. If you want someone to make you look natural, yet model worthy, Natalie is the perfect choice! I would recommend her to anyone!!!

ding. I was SO pleased with Natalie - she was amazing. I live in NYC but had the wedding in Boston and with so much going on, never had the chance to get back up to Boston to do a trial. I asked Natalie beforehand if she thought this would be a problem but she advised it would be fine and asked me send a few photos of myself, a description of what I was looking for, and if I could pick out any photos on her site to support "the look" I wanted. We did that all over email and I met her on my wedding day - as I finished my hair, she was already all set up in my hotel room and she finished the make-up in what seemed like record time. She was so lovely to chat with as she worked, and had even picked out a new lipstick for me that she gave to me as a little gift for touch ups, and life after the wedding (my "look" wasn't too dramatic so I wear the lipstick often now!) When Natalie finished, her work station folded up in approx. 2 minutes and she was finished - putting us ahead of schedule for the day's timeline. Throughout the wedding and reception people kept coming up to rave about my make-up. Natalie did a phenomenal job - I would highly recommend her and hope to be able to call her again for any other events I might have!!

nd it was great to have her be a part of my wedding day and make it so special. I loved my make up so much that I had her do my makeup for another event/photo shoot I had this past September. She is the best!!! xo

nt through so many makeup trials with the top artists in Manhattan and none of them even came close to Natalie's talent. With the extensive research and trials I've done in the NYC/Boston/Rhode Island area, I can honestly say she is HANDS DOWN the best makeup artist. You would be crazy to get married in the Boston area and not use her!!! My whole family and bridesmaids were literally blown away by how good she and her assistant were. One even said she liked it better than her own wedding makeup! She made all of us look our best and I couldn't be happier with how I looked on my wedding day. My skin was glowing and she chose all the right colors for me. My mom and I joke that we want to do another event in Boston/RI just so we can have her do our makeup again. She took notes during our trial and was right on, the day of. A bonus to her talent is that she is so calm, yet in control. The getting ready process was so civil thanks to her. She is talented, professional and an awesome person - you can't ask for better on your wedding day! Take it from me, you won't be dissapointed!

l of us. Everyone was extremely pleased with how their makeup turned out. She independently did 8 women and 1 young girl's makeup within 6 hours! On my day, I felt so beautiful. Thank you so much Natalie! xo

e to my house for our trial and had so many products to choose from. Her airbrush technique is so awesome and she is the queen of perfect lashes. Natalie made us feel like the best versions of ourselves. She listened to our visions and truly brought out each person's natural beauty, while keeping the looks cohesive and elegant. Natalie knows all the best beauty tricks, top trends, and greatest products. She truly is the best choice in New England and as a wedding blogger and professional, I can't recommend her enough. We love you, Natalie!

coincided with my engagement shoot. I told her right away, I know nothing about makeup, I just want to look as natural as can be because I don't wear much. She walked me through everything she did and told me why things would look better vs why she wasn't doing other things. When I told her I had a fear of people getting too close to my eyes she didn't hesitate and found another way to do my eyeliner makeup. I looked flawless at the engagement shoot and even better on the day of the wedding. All of the bridesmaids loved her too. Even aside from her talent, she is so easy and fun to work with. She made me feel calm and collective on my wedding day which is what I needed. When the schedule went a little off, she organized and powered through it without one ounce of fear or nervousness. I loved working with you Natalie and hope I get to again!!

Natalie! I wanted a natural look while still making an impression. I wanted some level of drama to my look without my make up being the first thing people noticed. I didn't want to look made up, I just wanted to look beautiful. Natalie did this PERFECTLY!! With HD Videos and close up photos, I've seen far too many of my friends look great with far away shots, but like caked-up clowns when it came time for the up close ones. I could tell from Natalie's portfolio that I didn't need to worry about that and because of my crazy schedule leading up to the wedding, booked her without a trial. About a week prior to the wedding, she asked for some recent photos of me and made some recommendations of lipstick and lip gloss to have with me so I'd be able to keep it throughout the wedding for touch ups if need be. I LOVED her recommendations and came ready on the day. In addition to my make up, Natalie did my mom's and a few of my bridesmaids. She arrived ontime and went right to work. Everyone from my mom to me, to the bridesmaids, looked AMAZING!! Not only that, but our make up lasted through sweltering summer heat, tears, hugs, kisses, and anything else we threw at it. My pictures still looked great at the end of the night and I never had a touch up. My eyelashes were even still in tact for our festivities the day after. It's only 6 days after my wedding, and I've already had people reach out to me to get Natalie's contact info. She is a true professional and GREAT at what she does. Look no further, you've found your girl!

r the big day stress free. Several bridal party members were not used to wearing makeup, especially lashes...she assured them they would not look "overdone". By the end of the evening not only did our airbrush makeup still look perfect but the previously hesitant girls didn't want to wipe off what she had done! I can't be more ecstatic with the results of Natalies makeup artistry. The proof is in the (HD) pictures!

ive and friendly and even travels to you for the trail. Natalie did a great job of making sure all my bridesmaids (and mom!) looked and felt beautiful! Even the girls who never wear makeup kept commenting on how great they felt and how natural it looked. I cant say enough great things about Natalie!

. I had my makeup airbrushed and it was gorgeous. Everyone commented on how stunning, but natural it looked. It lasted all night and all I had to touch up was my lipstick, which Natalie had provided me with. Also, two of my bridesmaids, who had bad airbrush makeup experiences and swore they would never get airbrushed again, loved Natalie's work so much they decided on the spot to get airbrushed as well. Best of all, made my mom feel beautiful and natural as my mom never wears any makeup, which made me so happy!

minor complaint, I have is that the make-up did get a little shiny by the end of the night, which is probably just from all of the dancing!!

ight and I received so many complements from our guests! Not only is Natalie's work beautiful but she was also very professional and kind. We did a trial run a few months before so I knew exactly how I was going to look on our special day. She was the perfect person I needed by my side the morning of my wedding with her calming and sweet personality! Thank you again, Natalie! Sincerely- Christina

makeup done, and I have to say I was blown away with what Natalie did. I had many girls at my wedding asking who did my makeup. : ) I would highly recommend Natalie. She is so sweet, a pleasure to work with, and extremely talented! You are guaranteed to look gorgeous.

ut even though we had done the trial several months before. I really appreciated her taking notes, and reviewing them so she could be prepared without me having to remind her. As for the final results, I felt beautiful. She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids and stepmother and they looked absolutely stunning. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely keep her as part of the "A" team.

nal for both the trial and the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend her!

autiful in my entire life! Prior to my wedding day, Natalie came to my home and made me feel so comfortable while truly listening to my beauty concerns - after the trial, I booked her on the spot. I would recommend Natalie over and over again!

a look you'll love! My makeup looked amazing and even the iPhone pictures I snapped looked as if I had been perfectly airbrushed (without looking fake at all...you could still see my freckles and everything, but my skin looked smooth, fresh, and flawless). After being sprayed in the face by the ocean mist, and getting tousled in the wind, my hair and makeup stayed put and looked fabulous. I highly recommend Natalie as a makeup artist for anything from a website photo shoot to your very special day!

d of honor and 2 other bridesmaids, every single one was 100% so happy with their makeup application. I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day and cannot thank Natalie enough! She's the BEST!

knows her stuff! She listened and helped create exactly the look I had envisioned for my wedding day. The bridesmaids and my mother looked stunning as well and all commented and how wonderful she is! Her work is flawless and the make up lasted all evening. I absolutely will work with Natalie again for any future make up needs and would highly recommend her for weddings!

ng that put her far above the rest. I've never felt prettier-exactly how you want to feel on your wedding day! I am extremely picky about my makeup and Natalie is the only person I would trust with such an important day. Thank you, Natalie!!!

n pictures!! She has a way of making every client beautiful and glamorous for their special day! I recommend her to everyone I know and meet!

el absolutley beautiful! Natalie is super talented, professional and on point! She texted me the night before just checking in and letting me know what time she would be arriving. She arrived on time and everything went so smoothly throughout the day. I would recommend Natalie to ANYONE! My Bridesmaids, Mother, Mother In-Law all looked stunning. I hope to get the chance to work with Natalie again in the future. Thanks girl for making me feel beautiful on my Wedding Day!! ~Lindsey

l person, but WOW is all I have to say! Natalie is beyond talented and a truly gifted artist. She not only did my makeup but also my 5 bridesmaids, my mother and sister. The most impressive part was that my makeup lasted all day and night through all the hugging, tears and dancing! As if that wasn’t enough she also touched up my hair☺ I can’t thank Natalie enough for making me and my bridal party look absolutely breathtaking.

makeup artist I have ever worked with. You could not go wrong with hiring her!

as I was trying to get ready. I have never felt so beautiful and confident, I wish I could have her do my makeup every day :)

professional, and had a great "chair side manner." Natalie did my make-up and six other members of my family (ranging from 16 yrs to 80+). Everyone looked absolutely amazing!! I had the airbrush foundation done and false eyelashes - my makeup stayed in place all night (even through crying) and I couldn't feel the lashes at all. Natalie was efficient and most importantly fun and easy to be around the morning of our wedding. My husband even specifically commented on how great my make-up looked and he never notices those things. We have seen a few pictures from the photographer and the make-up looks fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Natalie!

he right artist. She customized a beautiful look for me and I couldn't have been happier. We originally had only 7 bridesmaids getting their makeup done, but after the girls saw her beautiful work, the ones that didn't want their makeup done changed their minds. Natalie is a true professional and made us all feel relaxed and look our best. I would 100% recommend Natalie for anyone looking for an amazing makeup artist for their big day!

quests. She did four of us girls for the wedding party and it was PHENOMENAL!!! She was very sweet, professional and extremely talented. I have personally used several different MAC makeup artists in the past, but none came even close to Natalie's talent, artistry, and professionalism. We were very very impressed with her work and are grateful for her kindness, effort and service. I would highly recommend Natalie for any special occasion.

different looks for each of us. Some wanted natural looks, while others wanted dramatic! We all looked AMAZING!!! Especially in pictures! Natalie has the type of personality where you feel like you've known her forever! Not only is she very personable, she is extremely professional! Her prices are more then reasonable for the amount of talent she has! I can't thank her enough for making my day even more special!! I looked and felt beautiful!!

ore her work. She can look a woman's face, skin tone, eye shape etc and within minutes make you look the best you'll ever look. She is attentive to details, will ask you what the occasion is, the look and feel your going for. I'm telling you, the best makeup artist in Boston. From my senior prom to my wedding day, Natalie is the only artist i would ever trust to do my makeup. You will adore her work! Even if it's for an anniversary dinner with your husband, book an appointment with Natalie. You won't be disappointed!

noon - Natalie made it happen! Everything went so smoothly, and even though some of my wedding party showed up a little late, she kept me calm and guaranteed me it would all work out - which it did... BEAUTIFULLY! If you have doubts about hiring this girl, I hope this review does it for you because Natalie carries the three most important traits, talent, professionalism, and tranquility (which you will need on your big day)! I hope to work with Natalie in the future, and again, thank you so much for all your work, you are the best!

e loves best, is like watching an artist create a masterpiece! Mixing and blending colors, she truly creates your makeup for YOU. My favorite thing about her is that she is willing to work with you and ensure that you are happy and feel beautiful! She is very responsive to questions and is very professional. Her infectious, upbeat personality make her a pleasure to work with. As you can see, I have nothing but positive things to say about Natalie. I have recommended Her to many of my friends who are engaged (who, might I add, booked with her for the same reasons I did), and I will continue to recommend her.
