Julianna was incredible! She helped not only create the perfect make up vision that made me feel the most like myself but also incredibly special for this event, but she also helped organize and design the getting ready timeline that actually ended up with us AHEAD of schedule and stress free for my wedding morning. She was incredibly accommodating to make sure that I got a trial scheduled and was able to talk through what I was thinking, and then adjusted based on feedback from the trial for the wedding day. The second artist that she brought with her, as we had 9 people that needed make up, was also incredibly professional. All of my bridesmaids and both mothers were extremely happy with how they looked and both Julianna and the second artist were extremely receptive to feedback, tweaks, and requests! They put together little touch up bags for everyone that were extremely helpful for the rest of the day. I could not recommend her highly enough to other brides. As someone who never wears make up on the day to day, and therefore had no idea what I wanted make up wise for my wedding day, she was so great to work with and really made me feel comfortable and beautiful!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Julianna as my wedding makeup artist, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly responsive and really listens to your needs, working with you to achieve the exact look you want.
Julianna works efficiently and ensures that everyone is ready on time. She takes detailed notes during the trial to perfect your look for the big day. I don’t wear makeup and was very nervous about how it was going to look, but Julianna made sure I was comfortable and she really understood my preference of having a “no makeup makeup” look. Her talent is evident in her ability to perform a wide range of techniques, making her adaptable to any style. Overall, Julianna’s professionalism and skill made my wedding day even more special.
Jules was such a wonderful addition to our day! I don't wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis and she worked with me to find the perfect look! I was so happy with how not only my makeup turned out, but my bridesmaids and Mom as well. If you're on the fence, hire Pastel, you won't be disappointed!
I can't say enough about Jules! The entire process was perfection from start to finish. She was easy to communicate and nailed my bridal makeup vision! She did not rush my trial appointment and took my feedback to ensure we were heading in the direction I wanted. What I specifcally love about her skillset was her versatility. Some of my girls preferred a natural look and some preferred more drama - I was confident Jules could accomplish both. When it came time for the wedding Jules took my trial look and brought it to a whole other level. If you have the chance to book Jules do not hesitate!!
I rarely leave reviews- but this one is so necessary! Julianna and her team truly made the morning of my wedding so amazing. Myself, and many of my girls, don't typically wear a lot of makeup. Her team did such a great job making sure that we looked like ourselves, but also still glamorous. During my make up trial Julianna and I hit it off immediately and it was so nice to have someone who felt like a friend help me get ready on my wedding day! I never once was stressed out and she listened to everything that I wanted and executed it flawlessly. I will recommend her to any of my local friends who are getting married in the future! This is a must book vendor if you are looking for a MUA! :)
Julianna and her team were beyond perfect. Not only the product itself, but the relationship throughout the whole process. It was seamless, and Julianna worked around any questions I had. She went above and beyond. Her product is beyond amazing. She made me not only look but feel the most stunning. The Pastel team is so talented. I’d recommend Julianna and Pastel to any bride looking to feel a beautiful they’ve never felt before!!!
Beautiful make up and service. The team is flexible and can work with any style/ personal preference. This team made me and my girls feel beautiful! Highly recommend !
My makeup artist was fantastic! Her warm personality made everyone feel comfortable. She adapted to our preferences, ensuring each person felt confident and beautiful.
Her patience and flexibility were exceptional, accommodating last-minute changes with ease.
Her skills and attention to detail resulted in flawless, long-lasting makeup.
I had the best experience. My makeup looked great and natural.
If you don't have Jules for your wedding day you're doing it wrong. She's the best makeup artist in the game and she does not miss. She did our wedding a week ago and everyone's makeup looked absolutely fabulous. She listened to everyone's requests and kept them in the chair until she made sure everyone loved the outcome. I felt so beautiful than I did on my wedding day and it's largely because of Jules and her team. Book them ASAP and don't miss out!!!
Julianna is so skilled and truly cares that you are comfortable and happy with the final product. She's super receptive to feedback, extremely communicative and just a lovely, calm presence. Highly recommend her service.
Jules was AMAZING to work with. I've never had professionally done make-up before, and I was a bit intimidated by it. My biggest concern was making sure that after the make-up was done, I still looked like myself. Jules took this very seriously and pivoted where needed based on the trial (cannot recommend this step enough if you have the budget. My husband was really put off by the length of the fake lashes from my trial. Jules modified our last approach to give my lashes the boost I wanted but closer to the natural look that my husband loves). She brought out all of my best features without making me look "over-done." All of the bridesmaids and family looked incredible, and we are still receiving compliments on how wonderful everyone's looks were. She is warm, kind, and so funny, which just added to our morning together. My make-up lasted into the next day too!! Thanks again for everything Jules!
I had the pleasure of having Jules as a wedding makeup stylist for myself and 7 bridesmaids and she was AMAZING! The whole process was easy and fun. Jules nailed the natural look I was going for and my bridesmaids were all obsessed with their makeup. Thank you Jules for being such a fun and fabulous part of my day!
If you are looking for a makeup artist, look no further. Jules is incredible! I am super particular about my makeup but she truly listens to exactly what you want and makes you (and your bridal party!) look and feel your absolute best. I can't tell you the amount of compliments we all received and our beautiful makeup held all day/night long through a LOT of dancing. Jules is also so kind and laid back which is especially appreciated on such a chaotic day. Highly recommend!
I very highly recommend Jules and her team!!!! They were absolutely amazing. I truly felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day and that was all thanks to Jules. Jules is so talented and always able to execute any look I am envisioning. She arrived early and very well equipped on the day of my wedding. Jules and her team were extremely professional and accommodating. She made the morning of my wedding so enjoyable and stress free. One of my bridesmaid loved them so much, she hired them for her wedding for makeup next October! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend to all!!!
Jules did my makeup for my wedding day! She is extremely personable, kind, and talented. We scheduled a trial a couple of months prior to the wedding, which was so helpful in determining the type of look I wanted to go for as a bride. Communication was a breeze and she was always professional. She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids! Can't thank her enough!
From start to finish Julianna was absolutely Amazing! Communication, professionalism, skills, vibes, energy everything was on Point! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding experience. Would use her again in a heart beat.
Jules was great ! She was communicative and made everyone in the wedding feel and look amazing in their makeup.
Julianna is AMAZING! Her laid back vibe is so calming on such a crazy morning and made it seem less chaotic! She listens to what you are looking for as well as giving her professional suggestions. She is reasonable as well. Also very responsive , answering any questions and great at calming the wedding nerves. When I saw myself after I was all dressed and ready I was absolutely amazed , and I don't compliment myself much! She made me feel so beautiful! I'd recommend her 1000x over!!
Jules and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with! I felt so comfortable and well taken care of on my big day and leading up to it! Jules is truly so talented, she was able to give me my “natural” makeup look while still also achieving that drama factor! I Could not recommend her more.
I was really happy with Jules and her MUA services for myself and bridesmaids for our June 2023 wedding. The info she shared before hand (contract and bridal info packet) was super clear and helpful and included things like skin care prep and a template for a day of timeline. Communication leading up to the day was also very consistent and quick. On the day of, Jules spent so much time with each one of my bridesmaids and myself. I didn't have time to do a trial, and Jules really worked with me that day to make sure my makeup was exactly what I wanted even though we didn't have that time to make a plan beforehand. She was happy to make changes and last minute tweaks and touch ups if I wasn't happy with something. And she was fun to chat with the whole time we were getting ready! I would definitely recommend her to other brides.
I loved loved loved working with Jules. She traveled from Syr to Ithaca and did the makeup for me (bride), 8 girls, 1 boy, AND my mom and MIL. Not only is she super talented, she is also a wonderful person to spend time with. She put everyone at ease and her partner, Hannah were both friendly, fast, and professional. I’m a bit of a nervous talker, but I’m sure she would have been the perfect person to sit in silence with had that not been the case.
I had never been in a wedding before and only had my makeup done professionally once (hated it) so I had NO idea what I was doing. During our initial phone call she answered all of my questions and even gave me some ideas for scheduling and styling that I wouldn’t have even thought of! She was accommodating when scheduling a trial since I was coming from out of town and she responded to all of my anxiety with flexibility and kindness. She really welcomed my feedback (“You will NOT hurt my feelings”) and didn’t even flinch when I showed up on my wedding day wanting to try something a bit different than what we had practiced (false lashes -eek!). She also ended up totally saving the day when her emergency wardrobe bag and expertise helped repair my little sister’s MOH dress!
Everyone’s finished product finished product looked amazing and lasted alllll day through 80+ degree heat and happy tears – even in the late night hot tub at the after-after party!
Overall, she is kind, empathetic, down to earth, talented, professional, and just worth every penny! I could not recommend more highly.
Jules is so lovely to work with. Really personalized service and even without a make up trial she gave my wife and I the exact looks we were hoping for! Highly recommend
Jules was absolutely incredible from the moment I booked her to do my makeup for my wedding! I felt so calm and comfortable as her canvas and my makeup turned out beautifully. I’ve never felt better than I did on my wedding day (and my bridesmaids looked stunning too)! From chatting about everything during my trial and keeping me calm on the morning of my wedding, she went above and beyond to make me feel like an absolute princess. I can’t recommend her enough!
I had never had professional makeup done for my wedding and was a bit lost on the direction I wanted to go. Julianna was so patient with me and really helped me find the look that I was confident in! Thank you again!
Working with Jules and her team was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Jules is organized, incredibly talented, and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day. She made my dream makeup come to life and made me and my bridal party feel so pampered and beautiful. She and her team were accommodating of everyone's makeup requests and brought a wonderful fun energy to the room as we were getting ready. Highly recommend!
Julianna did an amazing job on my bridal makeup and on all of my bridesmaids! Everyone was so happy with how it turned out and she was able to capture exactly what everyone wanted. She was on time and completed everyone with time to spare, even with touch ups for the girls who went in the beginning of the day. She was super easy to work with and I highly recommend her to all brides!
Julianna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was fun, professional, and did an amazing job executing my vision with makeup. I'm pretty particular when it comes to my brows- and she shaped them better than I even could! I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the SYR area and beyond :)
Jules was the makeup artist for myself and my bridal party and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is a true artist--I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day, and most importantly I still felt like "me." My bridesmaids and I got so many compliments on our makeup! Jules was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process, being super communicative and kind. I knew from the first moment I met her at my makeup trial that I'd made the right decision! Book Jules for your wedding--you won't regret it!
I am so happy that I chose Jules do my makeup for my wedding! Everyone’s makeup turned out beautifully. I wasn’t able to have a trial with her just because I live far away, so was a bit nervous not knowing how the makeup look that I chose would turn out. We had a call beforehand and I shared inspiration with her. On the day of, she was so great to work with- she really brought the inspiration photos to life but was also flexible to change anything as we went along so that everything looked perfect. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their wedding.
Jules was the best and I really can’t say enough about her! She did my makeup for engagement photos, bridal shower and wedding! Each time she was right on time, easy to work with and my makeup came out perfect! On the morning of my bridal shower, she came to my home at 6am on a Saturday to do my makeup even though she had a wedding booked the same day. I was so happy she made time for me, especially because she already had a full day ahead of her! It really meant the world to me!
Jules was amazing to work with! She was chill, attentive, and knowledgeable. I appreciated her eye when picking out some accessories as well! My mother / mother in law loved her and were raving about their looks, too.
Hire her and don’t look back!
Jules was so great as a makeup artist! From the start, she answered all of my kajillion questions, she did my trial makeup beautifully, and she always had my best interest in mind since she knows more about skin/makeup than I do! The day of my wedding she was on time, ready to go and had everything she needed and more! She really helped me out and is overall such a great person you WANT and NEED around you on your stressful wedding day! HIRE HER!
Jules was absolutely wonderful. She was so great to work with from beginning to end. She went above and beyond all of my expectations. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a make-up artist. Everyone could not stop raving about how great me and all of ghe girls looked.
I absolutely loved working with Jules, and recommend that you book her immediately! Not only is she both sweet AND professional…she’s wildly talented. I knew my wedding party and I were in the best hands, and if I do say so myself…we all looked gorgeous!😄😄
Jules was fabulous and did an amazing job working with me to make sure my makeup was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. She was punctual and responsive and professional. She also did makeup for 9 other ladies in my wedding—all fantastic. Highly recommend her!
Jules came to our vacation rental and did makeup for me (groom's mother) and 4 of the ladies. She arrived on time and proceeded to make up all beautiful. We loved that the look she gave us was natural but provided enough emphasis for our photos. She made sure each of us was satisfied and gave a "tweak," if requested. Highly recommend Jules!
If you're considering working with Jules, I'd say go for it! Jules was amazing to work with from start to finish. I did not get a trial, but based on other reviews and photos I felt confident with this decision. Because of the pandemic I had to change my original wedding date, and thankfully Jules had availability and was able to work with me and my bridal party when we confirmed the new date. On my wedding day she was flexible and able to add on additional people who wanted their makeup done without missing a beat. Jules was knowledgeable, patient, and such an amazing artist- everyone was thrilled with her work, and was looking gorgeous! Thank you for everything Jules!
Julianna is absolutely wonderful. She did all bridesmaids, mother of bride, and mother in law makeup the day of my wedding this past August. She is not only extremely talented, but takes your vision and brings it to life, to make sure you feel extremely special on your day. The best.
Jules was a fabulous makeup artist and a great support person to have around on the wedding day!! She did an amazing job listening to what I wanted and I could not have been more pleased with the final look! The makeup lasted all day/night and looked very natural which is what I was hoping for. My mother, sister, and aunt were all very happy with their looks as well! Jules was calm and very punctual throughout the getting ready process. I highly recommend Jules to any brides getting married in the area!
I am so grateful that I chose Julianna to be my makeup artist on my wedding day. I am extremely picky about my makeup and was apprehensive about choosing an artist, but after a trial with Julianna, all of my fears were eased. She completely exceeded all of my expectations and I couldn't be happier.
Julianna is flexible, knowledgeable, and efficient. Staying timely on the morning of a wedding is vital and Julianna was able to complete beautiful work in an allotted time frame. She also has an amazing personality, which aided in my decision to choose her as a makeup artist. She made my mother and bridesmaids feel extremely comfortable and adapted to meet all of their individual makeup needs and requests.
I would HIGHLY suggest choosing to work with Julianna on your special day. She does incredible work and is a wonderful person.
I cannot say enough good things about Jules and Pastel Makeup. A true artist with a vision and the skills to execute it, Jules was patient and helpful for helping to visualize the wedding makeup of my dreams. Makeup is an essential part of my everyday look, and to part ways with my own hand at eyeliner is tough but Jules NAILED IT. She was amenable to using my own lashes and despite never using a Lashify system, nailed that too on game day. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and I can certainly say the same for my bridesmaids and the moms. Jules was able to determine each woman’s comfort level with “glam” and makeup, and find a look that suited each woman, regardless of undertones and age. Not only was she skilled at makeup, but runs her business flawlessly and patiently for us COVID-brides. She waited on standby for nearly a year to find out about my postponed day, showed up early and made each of the 10 women feel stunning. Her prices and travel fees are extremely reasonable, and her makeup artistry is unmatched. Plus, she earned the coveted love of my toy poodle.
Jules was so easy to work with and super sweet! She always responded promptly to any questions I had leading up to the big day. My makeup looked beautiful and was exactly what I asked for. I got so many compliments on it! She also traveled all the way to Lake Placid and was right on time the morning of. I would 100% recommend her!!
Jules was great to work with. I wear pretty much zero make up on a daily basis so it was important that my make up was natural and not overstated. We did a trial and Jules was very open to changing the look up on the day of to better suit my taste. She did great with my bridesmaids and was flexible with add-ons the day of the wedding. The make up held up like a champ for the whole night of raucous dancing :) Highly recommend!
Jules is AMAZING. She made me feel so beautiful, but still like myself, just an elevated version on my big day which is exactly what I asked me. Her airbrush work feels so comfortable and that and lashes were still perfectly in tact at the end of the long, sweaty day. She has such a calm presence, is just the sweetest, and is punctual and communicative which is all I could ask for. I'm so glad that she was a part of my day, and couldn't recommend her more!
Jules was amazing! Through so many changes with Covid and two weddings, Jules was accommodating and understanding. She allowed two makeup trials when the planning period took longer than anticipated. When the big day finally rolled around, Jules was prompt, prepared, and fun! Everyone loved how they looked and felt confident in their skin thanks to her expertise. Jules has the skills to go full glam or keep it natural. Don’t hesitate in hiring her, she’s amazing!
Jules went above and beyond in all aspects on my wedding day and in the weeks leading up to it. Her work and dedication to her craft is amazing. She was a very comforting presence to have with me in the hours before the ceremony. I feel relaxed and happy in her capable hands. Cannot recommend her enough!
I was so happy I hired Jules for my wedding. She was super flexible, and was willing to try a couple different looks to best suit my look. She was super friendly and so easy to talk to. And I can't speak enough for her skills with a brush--her technique is excellent. 5 stars would recommend :)
Jules is absolutely amazing at what she does! I would 100% recommend her for any of your makeup needs for any events!
Jules was the best! I am so happy that my sister-in-law recommended her and that I was able to book her for my wedding. She is the sweetest and did an amazing job with my makeup!! It lasted all day and looks great in our wedding photos. I highly recommend hiring Jules for your wedding. You won't regret it!
After being dumped by the first make up artist we hired, I was thrilled to be connected with Jules at Pastel Make Up and Style. Right off the bat, Jules was super responsive, professional and friendly. I knew I had made the right choice the first time I talked to Jules - she just made me feel so comfortable and it was clear I was in good hands...literally!
Our wedding took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I was appreciative of how Jules handled this. From the start, she seemed to have proactively thought through how she'd manage bookings and when it came time for my trial and the wedding day, she came masked up and with a plan in place for mitigating the spread of germs via make up and brushes.
I hired Jules and her assistant to be the "glam squad" for 4 bridesmaids, the moms and me. We all loved the end result, and Jules made the getting ready process fun, too! PRO TIP: We were able to utilize an outdoor space for make up, which put everyone at ease and actually worked well in terms of providing natural light for make up application.
I had had a not-so-great experience as a bridesmaid having my make up done by another artist. I walked away not looking like myself at all, which led my now-husband to believe that all make up artists do really heavy, dramatic application. While I wanted to look more glam than any other day (I'm a regular make-up wearer and retired pageant girl!), I also wanted to still be recognizable. This is really Jules' speciality and so I think this was a vendor-bride match made in heaven!
Fantastic experience and highly recommend!!
Jules was absolutely incredible. I am SO happy she was available. We re-planned our wedding last minute and I am still so thankful to have had Jules there. My makeup was absolutely perfect and her prices are incredibly fair.
Not only is Jules talented with makeup, she’s a genuinely wonderful person. Book her for your wedding, you won’t regret it!
I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire Jules as the makeup artist for my wedding. Jules traveled to Cayuga Lake in Lansing, NY to do my makeup (and makeup for four others) the day of my (12 person, oh Covid...) wedding, and she made every single one of us feel absolutely beautiful. I've gotten my makeup done countless times over the years as a bridesmaid and otherwise, and I've never had my makeup look as good as it did with Jules. I've also never had such an awesome experience with a makeup artist. Jules is an absolute joy to work with -- in addition to being a brilliant artist, she's patient, kind, and fun. If you're at all on the fence about hiring Jules, do yourself a favor and book her immediately. I sincerely promise you'll be thrilled that you did.
Jules was amazing - and one seriously talented makeup artist!! I’ve honestly never felt so beautiful before and she made feel so comfortable! She captured exactly the natural but elegant style I wanted, just by taking the time to get to know me. On a personal note, she had such a calm, genuine and good nature to her that made the experience easy and stress free. I couldn’t have pick a better makeup artist, and had an incredible experience! I definitely recommend Jules!
We hired Jules as both make-up artist and assistant for the day of. My bridal makeup lasted 7+ hours flawlessly. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup regularly, Jules took her time to listen my preferences while giving professional suggestions as to what would look best on photos and video. Because of COVID, my husband and I decided on getting married just the 2 of us. As an assistant, Jules helped me into my dress and made sure style-wise I was all set with shoes, accessories, and veil. She also assisted with photos and provided make-up touch-ups during the afternoon. Since we didn’t have a bridal party and/or family to rely on, it was super helpful to have her on hand to help during the afternoon! She also took some fabulous behind the scenes photos that she sent to me later on. It was nice to “be in the moment” and know that everything was being taken care of.
Jules was amazing to work with and made myself and all the ladies feel like an absolute goddess on my special day! She was very easy, reliable and professional to work with. She listened to what each of us wanted and executed everything flawlessly! Would work with her again in a heartbeat!
Oh, Jules, what would I have done without you!!! Jules made me look and feel beautiful, and she gave me the natural wedding glam look that I've always dreamed of! Jules is kind, friendly, calm, professional, and a true artist. I will be recommending her to friends and family for years to come! Thank you so much, Jules!!
Julianna was amazing to work with. She provided makeup for myself (bride), my five bridesmaids, and my mother all by herself and she was a total rock star. I did a trial with her and it went great, and we tweaked some things for the big day. Me and my ladies all looked flawless all night. A few of my bridesmaids have been in several other weddings and said that this was the best makeup they ever had done (and I agree!). She was very communicative , on time, but laid back and fun to hang with for the day in the bridal suite. Pricing was also fair and transparent. Definitely recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Julianna and the makeup services that she provided to myself and bridesmaids! Not only was her makeup beautiful and natural looking, she took her time with each person and stayed after to assist with touch ups. She made everyone feel comfortable and special!
Julianna is amazing. Her professionalism, punctuality, kindness and communication are what I noticed right away - but will keep going back to her for the beautiful job that she did. I typically don't wear a lot of makeup and she knew exactly what to do to so that I still looked like myself, but with just enough extra glam that you need to have on your wedding day. She did my sisters' and Mom's makeup as well and they couldn't have been happier. Don't hesitate- book her now!
