I truly can't recommend Natalie enough - I had an amazing experience working with her from initial booking, to the trial, to my wedding day! She seriously is the sweetest and so so talented! I was extremely picky when it came to deciding on a wedding make up vendor - I wanted to look natural and a lot of what I was seeing were these crazy transformations! I wanted makeup that would look good on my wedding day but also in pictures and stumbled upon Natalie on Instagram and was like i HAVE to have her! Natalie seriously delivered. My whole bridal party loved chatting with her day of and I am so happy with how all of our makeup came out. It also lasted from 12pm - 2 am! Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
Truly could not recommend Natalie more! She did an incredible job on mine and my bridesmaids/mother's makeup! Not only does she do an incredible job, but she was so much fun to have while getting ready too. Her advice literally stuck with all of us all day and we still can't stop talking about how great she was. My makeup didn't budge in the slightest and I was sweating (a lot). I didn't stop dancing, I was drinking and eating all night and my makeup literally still looked perfect when I went to bed at 3am. I still look back at my makeup in the pictures and think how it still looks just like me but just elevated. She does such a perfect job. Can't wait to go back to her for all my makeup needs! She is just such a wonderful person inside and out and just made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.
I hired Natalie for my wedding this past September and she was the best! She is the ultimate professional and is super talented. At first I was unsure with the look I wanted for my day and Natalie was amazing to work with. She knew how to achieve exactly what I wanted and my makeup came out flawless in my pictures. Not only is Natalie great at doing makeup she has the best energy and knows exactly what she’s doing. When choosing Natalie to do your makeup for your wedding you are in the best hands possible!
Natalie created the perfect natural, glowy look I wanted for my Cape Cod wedding this past July. Not only did she work with me to create a flawless, uncontrived look (with AMAZING skin) but she also brought the best energy the morning of. The morning was easy breezy, worry-free. She just gets it. Please do yourself a favor and hire Natalie for your big day.
Natalie is hands down THE BEST! Hiring Natalie to do my wedding makeup was by far the best decision! About 1 year before my wedding I had done a trial different makeup artist and was unimpressed with the results. After that experience I was super diligent in looking for a makeup artist (stalking all their reviews, instagram photos etc ) and was so impressed when I came across Natalie! In person- she did not disappoint, during my trial she asked all the right questions and my trial makeup was stunning. On the day of there was nothing to be nervous about because I knew Natalie would deliver! I was so impressed with my wedding day makeup and cannot recommend Natalie enough!
Natalie is top notch, nothing but the absolute best, she is an angel. She is compassionate, gracious and really the kindest person you want to have with you getting ready.
After much of my own research I hired Natalie to do my makeup for my wedding along with my bridal party, including my Mom, MIL and My grandmother. -- she was my first choice and I am so glad she had my date open.
As well as doing your makeup she keeps you focused on keeping calm. I had the most fantastic wedding because of her, she set the tone in a positive way which left me feeling incredible. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment of first contact and she is truly uplifting. I would have Natalie do my makeup everyday if I could! My makeup was more perfect than I could have ever imagined, and lasted ALL night.
Natalie was the best decision I made for my wedding day. She is incredibly talented and somehow finds a way to make you look beautifully glam yet still totally yourself. The level of beautiful I felt on my wedding day was unlike anything I’ve ever felt before! Aside from that, Natalie is also just an incredible human. She is so even-keeled and gentle, and she makes you feel so ease, even when the wedding day jitters start acting up. I couldn’t recommend Natalie more highly!!!
I hired Natalie for my wedding day and am so happy I did. I was thrilled with my makeup and it turned out even better than how I envisioned it. Natalie is extremely talented and really listed to what I wanted. She also was a calming presence throughout the day and made my friends, family, and myself feel at ease during the entire get-ready process. I cannot recommend Natalie enough and wish I could give more than 5 stars!!
Natalie is so talented. I am very grateful that she was a part of our wedding day. You will not find a better make-up artist out there. From the trial to the wedding day, I felt completely comfortable and knew that with her skills I could sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. She’s also so sweet and has the most peaceful energy. I could chat with her for hours. My makeup was stunning and stayed immaculate all night long, even after hours of dancing. The bridal party and my Mom’s makeup was also beautiful. The pictures turned out awesome because her of incredible work. I cannot wait to come up with an excuse to hire her again!!
I met Natalie in 2019 at my sister's wedding where she glammed all my family members and me. I knew then that for my wedding day I would have to have her too. On the wedding day, Natalie was an absolute dream to work with; professional, timely, and most of all made everyone feel their best. She kept me calm through the chaos and stayed for touch-ups which made everyone feel amazing for the entire night. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how much they loved their glam and how much of a pleasure Natalie was to be around. HIGHLY recommend Natalie Shafie she truly is the best in every way!!
Working with Natalie was a dream! She has such a calming presence and is so gifted at what she does. She absolutely delivered on the look I was going for. Of course I changed the color scheme after my trial but she was able to pull everything together flawlessly. I’ve struggled with other makeup artists caking on the makeup, I was so relieved to find someone that made your skin look like skin but better! Do not hesitate to book her for your wedding!!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie for my wedding day and experiencing her incredible work! My makeup was absolutely perfect and even better than I could have imagined. She made me feel so beautiful and confident from the day of the trial through my wedding day. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, offering advice and answers to my many questions along the way. She is truly so talented and her kindness and care was felt by every one of of my bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and flower girl. She not only created stunning makeup looks that complimented each person, but they were flawlessly applied and stayed through a humid, then rainy, July day and through the end of the night. I can not recommend Natalie enough and feel so lucky that I had the opportunity to work with her for my wedding!
Natalie Shafie is one of a kind in the industry. She is an expert at what he does and is beyond talented. She is also so wam and made me feel SO comfortable during my trials and on my wedding day. My mom and bridesmaids have never felt more beautiful. She captured exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. Plus she's SO fun to hang out with! Can't recommend Natalie enough!
Natalie is amazing at what she does and was such a joy to work with. Having had some less than ideal experiences in the past, I spent a lot of time looking for the right artist for my wedding day and knew right away that Natalie’s natural-but-still-glam style, and her ability to customize makeup to the person (rather that applying the same look to everyone) was what I was looking for.
I loved my makeup and that of my bridesmaids and mom/MIL on the wedding day - everyone looked amazing and still like themselves. Plus, we all had a great time getting ready together. Natalie was relaxed, positive, and a lot of fun to have with us for the few hours before the wedding.
Natalie took my few tweaks from the trial to really make sure I was happy. I felt beautiful and the look lasted all through the night. I can’t recommend her enough - thank you!
Natalie is not only an amazingly talented artist but she is also a wonderful person to have by your side on your wedding day (or any important occasion)! My entire bridal party looked like goddesses, they were so happy with their looks. Natalie is so professional and really understands how to bring out your natural beauty with glamour and elegance. My makeup also didn’t budge all day and all night, I seriously considered wearing it for the brunch the next day! I will definitely hire her again for any future events!
Natalie was one of the best decisions I made with wedding planning. She came highly recommended by a friend of a friend who described her as extremely talented, professional, and someone you want to be around on your wedding day-- which is all so true and she somehow still blew me away. She delivered exactly what I was looking for during the trial and of course after I changed my mind on the look right before the wedding:), she was able to execute my vision perfectly for the wedding day without having to do a second trial. The day of the wedding she arrived early with a huge smile and hug and had the best energy throughout the entire day. The makeup came out so perfect, I felt like myself but elevated and not at all overdone, and it held up flawlessly- I only had to touch up my lip gloss a couple of times. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!
Natalie was a dream to work with! She is SO sweet and incredibly talented at what she does. I consider myself to be very picky when it comes to makeup (and hair). I trusted Natalie 1000% and was blown away by her. My makeup felt so natural, not cakey, and most importantly, I felt like me (but much prettier)! I could not recommend Natalie more!!!
Natalie is AMAZING at what she does and I cannot recommend her enough! She made me feel and look stunning on our wedding day! Not only is she talented but she is extremely positive and a wonderful communicator. So happy I was able to work with her on our wedding day!!
Working with Natalie was an absolute pleasure! She is so good at what she does, and her calm and positive energy was so appreciated throughout the day. I felt confident while we were getting ready that she had a plan and had the timing under control. She made sure she knew exactly what I wanted during my trial, and she did an amazing job on the day of. My makeup stayed on all night, and my wedding party loved her. I can't recommend Natalie enough!
I was lucky enough to have two best friends who used Natalie for their weddings and I knew I loved her work! She is so attentive to what you want and so sweet. I love how she does the most perfect natural look. I could not recommend her enough and I’m so thankful she was available for my wedding🥰
I feel so lucky to have snagged Natalie for my wedding make-up. Not only did she make me feel incredibly beautiful, but she also made my 4 bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law look and feel their best. I found her on Instagram and loved her make-up aesthetic - it was exactly what I was looking for. My mom and I were already thrilled with the make-up she did for our trials and then she even kicked it up a notch on the day of the wedding. Truly a treat to have Natalie for your big day. Highly recommend her!
You need Natalie for your wedding day. I cannot even put into words how amazing working with her was. She is a true artist. I have never liked getting my makeup done until Natalie. She makes you look so flawless but still natural and not overdone. My bridesmaids and I were absolutely in love with our makeup and received so many compliments. Natalie is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is so warm and so positive. I felt immediately calmed the minute I sat in her chair. She is a great listener and truly customizes your makeup to suit you. To top it all off she is organized and so responsive. Truly a dream to work with. My bridesmaids and I still talk about how amazing she was. Thank you so much Natalie!
Natalie was INCREDIBLE! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough. She did my makeup as well as my MOHs/bridesmaids, mother, mother in-law and grandma and everyone was beautiful. My makeup looked very natural (the look I was going for) and Natalie did an absolutely flawless job on everyone. She had such great energy as we were getting ready and my makeup stayed perfect the entire night. Any bride in the area should book Natalie immediately, there will be absolutely no regrets and everyone will look beautiful!!
Booking Natalie for my bridal makeup was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding day. I don't wear a ton of makeup and was seeking guidance for how to keep my bridal look natural and Natalie completely nailed it. I felt SO gorgeous (and very me!) on my big day! The best part about Natalie is how comfortable she makes you feel sitting in her chair - she is so lovely (and stunning!) and her energy was exactly what I needed the morning before my wedding to help calm my nerves. I truly felt like I had another friend/hype girl in the room with me! If you're a bride looking for bridal or event makeup services, run don't walk and book Natalie for your special day!
I cannot even begin to say enough good things about Natalie! Myself, my family and my friends absolutely love her! She is so unbelievably caring, detailed and professional. Her presence is so positive and calming and I knew she would do my wedding makeup from the moment I met her at our trial. Our wedding was impacted by the pandemic and throughout the entire rescheduling process she was so easy to work with and was so supportive of our date needing to change. Working with her was a great experience and she is extremely responsive and professional which is exactly what we needed for everything to flow perfectly on the day of my wedding. Myself and all of my bridesmaids and family felt so beautiful. Everyone said it was the best makeup they had ever had done for a wedding which made me so happy. She executed my bridal vision perfectly and made me feel like myself but elevated. Everyone needs Natalie for their wedding, she is the absolute best.

Natalie was absolutely wonderful. I hired her for my wedding. She did my makeup, four bridesmaids, and my mom. Everyone looked stunning! I normally don't love having my makeup professionally done because it always looks like "too much" even when I ask for a natural look, but Natalie hit the nail right on the head. The makeup was beautiful and natural and exactly what I asked for. She was so sweet and fun to be with during the day. I could not recommend her more!
I had originally hired Natalie to do both my wedding makeup and all my bridesmaids' makeup for my August wedding....but, that obviously got covid'd! However, Natalie was extremely understanding and flexible, and worked with me to postpone to a date in 2021, AND she accommodated me by doing just my makeup and my sister's makeup for the little minimony we held instead this year. She is incredibly talented (and sweet, funny and cool) and gave me the exact look I was going for. Can't wait to work with her again next year!
Natalie is extremely talented! After my wedding plans changed due to the pandemic, Natalie was flexible through the whole process and came to my condo to do my makeup as well as the makeup for my four bridesmaids. I wish she could do my makeup all the time!
I worked with Natalie for my wedding in August. After going for my trial, I knew right away that I made the right choice. She is equal parts warm, and professional, and made me feel so relaxed during the whole process! I really appreciated the calming, positive presence she brings. I don't wear a lot of makeup normally, so I wanted to go with a natural but enhanced sort of vibe so I would still look and feel like myself. She did that perfectly and then some with my look. It looked fresh even 12 hours later, despite having rain during my outdoor ceremony! I would recommend Natalie to anyone, she's amazing!
I hired Natalie for my September wedding and she did an incredible job! My makeup was flawless and it stayed put the whole night. My bridesmaids raved about their makeup as well! Natalie was very professional and answered all my emails promptly. 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!
Natalie did my wedding makeup a few weeks ago and she was AMAZING!!! She was so professional, sweet and punctual. She answered emails very promptly! I received so many compliments on my makeup and would totally book her again!!
Natalie was an absolutely joy to work with! From the trial to the wedding day itself, she was friendly, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. She was so accommodating and flexible when our plans changed due to COVID. I do not wear a heavy amount 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!
I cannot say enough about Natalie. You must hire her!!! From my first email inquiry to post-wedding communications, Natalie is nothing short of amazing. Her work is absolutely stunning. I’ve never in my life felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding 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.
I’m so glad I picked Natalie to do my and my bridesmaids’ makeup for my recent wedding. The look was glowy, pretty, not-bridal makeup - just what I requested. Natalie was easy to talk with and a cool addition to our getting-ready bridal suite. 🙏🙏🙏
I reached out to Natalie for a bridal makeup trial and immediately hired her for my wedding. She is by far the most talented makeup artist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have never felt more beautiful, she is truly an artist. Natalie 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.
If you want to feel your best on your wedding day, book Natalie. She is so talented- her photos speak for themselves. Having her there on your wedding day allows you to have one less thing to think about on your wedding day. So happy with my decision to have her as the makeup artist for me and my bridal party!
Natalie is so wonderful in every aspect. Not only is she an extremely talented makeup artist who made everyone look and feel beautiful, but she is an absolute pleasure to have around on your big day. She is a lovely human being and very professional. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Natalie was so easy to work with, but more importantly, unbelievably talented as the makeup artist. Everyone commented how quickly she worked and how she did such a great job at matching the individual bridesmaids’ and mothers’ skin tone and coloring. 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%.
DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK NATALIE IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY!!!
I cannot stress enough how flawless her work is!! She did my makeup for my engagement photos, my welcome party, and my wedding (as well as my bridesmaids 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!!
Natalie was so awesome! First of all, she is amazingly skilled. I felt so beautiful day of due to her work and the bridesmaids all looked stunning as well. Some of the things that stood out were her talents with eye makeup and lashes - so natural 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!
Natalie did my wedding makeup in June on Nantucket and is the absolute best. I did so many different makeup trials for my wedding and never really loved the look until I met Natalie. I wanted a very specific natural/bridal look and Natalie listed 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.
Natalie is an incredible artist, a true professional and an absolute pleasure to be around. I cannot say enough about how amazing she made me look and feel on my wedding day. Not only did I feel beyond blissful and confident because of her beautiful 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!
Natalie did an amazing job delivering the exact makeup look that I wanted for my wedding day! I have naturally oily skin and with a hot and humid August wedding I was worried that my makeup wouldn’t hold however it looked amazing all night! Natalie 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!
I knew within the first ten minutes I met Natalie I loved her and wanted her to do my makeup. From the trial to the day of, she is the utmost professional. She listened to all the questions I had about logistics and concerns about meeting the needs 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!
First thing first, I'm very particular. The last time I let someone do my makeup was for my high school prom. And I'm in my mid-30s, so that was a looong time ago. I just feel like nobody knows how to work around the quirks of my face better than 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!
Let me start out by saying i'm really particular/picky. And i'm obsessed with Natalie's work! She made me feel so incredibly beautiful on the day of my wedding and also in pictures which is hard to achieve. i did 2 trials with her just to make 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!!
Natalie was everything I ever imagined I would find in a makeup artist for the most important day of my life! From the makeup trial to figuring out logistics, scheduling, and day of execution, Natalie was 100% reliable, professional, and of course, 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!
I got married in October and used Natalie for my makeup and have to say she is the BEST! I did my trial with her in August and knew I had picked the right person right away. She made me feel completely at ease with the process and explained each 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!
Natalie is so incredibly talented and so much fun! If you are looking for a professional makeup artist who will make you look like the best possible version of yourself - she is your girl! When looking for a makeup artist, I noticed the majority 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!
I worked with Natalie first as a bridesmaid and then as a bride and had a wonderful experience both times. When corresponding with her for my own wedding she was responsive, organized, and easy to coordinate with. What I most appreciated was 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.
Natalie did makeup for my wedding this past October and everything was perfect! I found Natalie after reviewing her work online and reading reviews - and I could not agree more with the overwhelming praise she receives. She is professional, extremely talented and so sweet. Everyone loved the way they looked - and loved her. I would 100% recommend Natalie.
Natalie was fantastic to work with for my March wedding. She has a terrific personality and did a great job on my makeup for the big day. All my bridesmaids loved her as well!
Out of all the different vendors I used for my wedding (which was too many to count!), Natalie was by far one of the favorites to work with! She is extremely professional and a very talented make-up artist. On top of that, she is incredibly sweet 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!!
Natalie was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Natalie truly helped make my wedding day perfect! Prior to my wedding, I did a trial with Natalie and instantly I knew that there was no one better than her to do my makeup. That day I booked Natalie and cancelled 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!
I use Natalie for my engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner and wedding. She was absolutely amazing and such a pleasure to work with. I was so happy with how my makeup looked for all three occasions! I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. My bridesmaids also loved her and were so thrilled with their makeup. Thanks so much, Natalie!
Natalie did the make up for me, my bridesmaids, mom and mother in law for my wedding and it was amazing! She truly knows what she's doing and I felt so beautiful! After my trial with her I immediately knew I had to book her and that I could trust 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!
Natalie was AMAZING. I booked her for my wedding in September after hearing through friends of their great experience with her. She came to my apt for the trial which was nice and convenient. Loved my makeup on my wedding day!! Love the airbrush. 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!!
I was a bridesmaid in 2 weddings where Natalie did the make up and she was INCREDIBLE. Her personality was so calm and put everyone at ease, but she did a great job of suggesting what looks would be best for each bridesmaid and her actual work 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!
One of my best friends got married a couple years ago and used Natalie as her makeup artist. Since I was in the wedding party, I had the opportunity to have Natalie do my makeup. She did a phenomenal job on every bridesmaid and most of all the 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!
Natalie is the best in the business! This is coming from someone who has gotten their makeup done so many times by other makeup artist. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to how my makeup looks and Natalie made me feel and look better than I could 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 :)
Natalie provided make-up for myself, my bridal party, my mother, and my mother-in-law for my wedding! She did an absolutely beautiful job and made everyone feel so comfortable. My make-up was so natural and my now-husband loved it! Natalie did 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!
After several trials with other vendors, I was feeling discouraged that I'd never find a makeup artist for my wedding day. I was looking for someone who would make me naturally beautiful for my wedding day without feeling like I had too much makeup 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!
Natalie did my make up for my wedding in July and she did an amazing job!!! My bridesmaids, mother and mother in-law all LOVED their makeup! She is so great to work with. She is professional, talented, and so sweet! I would recommend her over and over again!
There are so many wonderful things to say about Natalie. She made me feel absolutely beautiful inside and out on my wedding day. The most amazing thing about her was how accommodating she was. I live in Charlotte, NC and when I came home for my 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!!!
I found Natalie via an online search for a make-up artist in Boston. I remember finding a few other artists that were a little cheaper but I fell in love with Natalie's work on her website and was thrilled to learn she was available for my wedding. 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!!
Natalie did my wedding this past June and she did such a great job!! She did my makeup, my 8 bridesmaids, and my mother & everyone looked amazing. My makeup stayed on all night and the pictures came out perfect!! Natalie is so sweet and nice, and 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
I got married this past August 8th in Newport, RI, and it was a destination wedding, since I live Manhattan. Being that I'm a dentist, I'm particularly picky and aware of makeup application and I was very picky in choosing a makeup artist. I went 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!
Natalie recently did my make up for my wedding in August. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is extremely professional, talented & above all one of the kindest people I got to work with. She did an absolutely beautiful job on all 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
Where do I begin? Natalie Shafie is not only a talented, professional makeup artist, but she is also incredibly caring, listens to her clients and ends up being one of your favorite people. Natalie was so professional and accommodating. She came 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!
Natalie is FANTASTIC! I know nothing about makeup and she helped me look absolutely amazing on my wedding day. People are still commenting on how great my make up looked. I met her through a recommendation and first met her for the trial which 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!!
I was very particular about what type of look I wanted for my wedding, and therefore what type of make up artist I wanted. I spent a LOT of time on The Knot, and various other wedding websites, checking reviews and portfolios, and came across 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!
Natalie is an incredible makeup artist. She was able to bring out the best in not only me and my bridal party but my new extended family! Natalie was so easy to work with. She made the whole process from consult, trial and logistics planning for 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!
I was lucky enough to come across Natalie on the Knot when looking for a make up artist for my July wedding in Boston. From the moment we connected, Natalie made me feel confidient that I was chosing the right girl for the job! She was responsive 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!
Natalie is an amazing makeup artist. She understood exactly the look I was going for right off the bat and kept checking to make sure I liked the direction she was going in. She made me feel comfortable at my trial and on the day of my wedding. 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!
Natalie was an excellent addition to my wedding day. I absolutely loved having Natalie do our make-up. She is a lovely woman that was willing to adjust to my time schedule and made sure that everyone felt comfortable and at ease. The only, very 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!!
We hired Natalie as our make-up artist for our wedding this past August and could not have been more happy. Natalie did an amazing job making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt on my wedding day. My make-up stayed flawless the entire night 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
Natalie did an incredible job with my makeup for my wedding! She was extremely professional and very efficient! She did myself and all of my bridesmaids and everyone was in love with their makeup.
I am very picky when it comes to getting my 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.
Natalie is amazing doing wedding makeup and is very pleasant to work with. I met with Natalie for a trial before the wedding and realized a few changes that I wanted to make for the big day. She listened, and remembered what we had talked about 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.
I loved the way my make up came out! Natalie is great and knows exactly what shes doing and looks best. I was so happy and would def reccommend her!! :)
Natalie did my makeup as well as my bridal party's makeup for my wedding. She did a wonderful job and made everyone look great. I had never used airbrush before, but it came out perfectly and lasted all night! Natalie was friendly and professional for both the trial and the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend her!
Natalie did an outstanding job for my wedding! I loved my makeup as well as my bridesmaids, it looked absolutely perfect. She listened to what look I wanted and made it come true. She was a pleasure to work with!
Natalie Shafie is an incredible make up artist! Her skills on applying make up is breath taking. Natalie did airbrush makeup for my wedding and also did my whole bridal party. She made everything seem so effortless and I have never felt so beautiful 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!
