Professional Makeup Artist Stacey Frasca

Stacey is amazing! She came highly recommended to me and did not disappoint! At my trial I wasn't sure what I wanted but she was able to create a flawless look that we tweaked a little bit for the day of and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Stacey had 6... Read More applications the day of my wedding, she was efficient and professional. She created a schedule a head of time which made the day run very smoothly, (she even was ahead of schedule). I was nervous about starting make up so early in the day and having it last but that was not an issue! Stacey gave everyone some touch ups before she left and we opted for the airbrush foundation which lasts all day and night (worth the extra $$)! We also chose to get false eyelashes, which I highly recommend. Stacey has many different types and they are very natural looking. Many of our guests even commented on how great the make- up looked!! I would highly recommend her for your wedding day!

Stacey made me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful on my wedding day! She did an amazing job with airbrush makeup, which made us flawless for the entire day and night! Stacey also helped me move around the schedule when the girls' hair times got off track- very helpful! She is... Read More a calming presence, which is definitely nice on a wedding morning... I highly recommend Stacey!

Stacey is THE best!! Not only is she a true professional that really knows her stuff but she also listens and asks about your wishes. And to top it all off (while she makes you look gorgeous) she is a fabulous person. She is fun, warm, engaging and just a terrific person.... Read More She is clearly a highlight of my year as "MOB"! I only wish I lived closer to Stacey so she could do my make-up more often and we could hang out! She is terrific!!

I had several trials with various makeup artists before finding Stacey. When I went for a trial with her, I was feeling pretty defeated and about ready to do my own makeup on my wedding day. She asked how I usually do my makeup and offered a few minor adjustments, things that... Read More would make sure I looked like myself, but with a bridal color palette. It was gorgeous. She's so talented that guests at my wedding were complimenting members of the bridal party who had their makeup done too - that's how good she is. People notice her work. On your wedding day, you'll want Stacey by your side. Not only does she make you look and feel good, but her presence in the room is incredibly calming and professional. She handled an anxious bride, and even more anxious MOB with such care that I remember that just as much as I remember how much I loved her work. Love her and cannot thank her enough for everything.

Stacey is wonderful! Not only is she a super makeup expert/extremely knowledgeable, but she is also very fun, funny and personable. She made me, my bridal party, and my mom feel completely at ease and she had a great dynamic with my hair stylist. Highly highly highly... Read More recommended!

If you want to look and feel your absolute best on your wedding day, I cannot recommend booking Stacey quickly enough! Stacey was the one vendor I booked without first doing a trial as I loved her makeup work that I saw online so much. Besides being professional, honest, and... Read More responsive in our communications, I truly never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day because of Stacey. In her trusted hands, your makeup will make you look like the absolute best version of yourself. Her approach to makeup is to make you look like you, but absolutely stunning. I was so pleased with my makeup look for my wedding day, and Stacey and her assistant could not have been more efficient getting through 8 women's makeup in under the time we had allotted. Finishing early with time to spare was the icing on the cake to a smooth and wonderful experience with Stacey. Thank you, Stacey!!

Stacey was recommended to me by several of my friends who all raved about her work. And they were right; Stacey is AMAZING. She did my makeup and my mom's makeup for my wedding and both were absolutely flawless. We had a rare hot and humid day in mid-October and I was... Read More definitely worried about being sweaty and shiny. As the last song played, I was sweaty and my hair was a disaster but the makeup was as perfect as when it was first applied. I highly recommend Stacey!

Stacey was such a joy to work with for my wedding. She was extremely professional, friendly, and an amazing artist. She was always responsive on emails, timely, and helped my type-A self set a make-up schedule for the wedding day so that we were done on time for pictures (we... Read More actually ended up being done early and having more time for photos!). During my trial run a few months before the wedding, Stacey helped me figure out the perfect make-up look for my wedding -- she really worked with me to understand how I typically like make-up and how to accentuate my best features. She helped me, and the rest of my bridal party, look stunning. Bonus points for how sweet of a person Stacey is. I would definitely recommend Stacey to any bride!

Love Stacey! Her fun and calming presence was perfect as I was getting ready, and more importantly I loved my make-up for the day. It was the perfect blend of beautiful yet natural, and it stayed on the entire day. Can't wait to book her for my next big occasion.

Stacey and her team are hands down the BEST. From the trial to the wedding day, Stacey was super accommodating and just lovely to work with. She's amazingly talented and my makeup -- and 9 bridesmaids makeup -- was totally flawless. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Hair and makeup was actually the hardest service for me to nail down for my wedding. I was scheduled for a morning wedding at a venue that did not allow any access until 60mins before the ceremony. I also did not have a wedding party, so I was looking for services for only... Read More myself. Having someone at my house also wasn’t an option as my dogs wouldn’t have tolerated it well, starting the day off on a stressful note. Then, I found Stacey, who also connected me with Michelle. I went to my trial with really no idea what I wanted other than I was looking for a more natural look. Both Stacey and Michelle were fantastic (and fun) during the process and once my trial was done, there was no question I had the right people. They didn’t really need to adjust a thing from their initial instincts. On the day of the wedding, Stacey and Michelle met me and my mother at the studio at 7am on a Saturday morning! They ended up doing my mother’s hair and makeup as well in a way that felt comfortable to someone who never ever wears makeup or has her hair done. I couldn’t have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out for the wedding! Beautiful! I highly recommend both Stacey and Michelle for all your wedding makeup and hair needs.

Stacey is so nice and professional, with many years of experience. I absolutely loved having her do the makeup for my wedding - from the relaxed trial at her cheery office in Wellesley to the big day. Stacey also did the makeup for my sister's wedding last year, and that was a... Read More great experience too. Aside from her talent as a makeup artist, Stacey also has her own makeup line and I love the products I have from her!

Stacey was incredible. From the moment we met, she was so friendly and attentive to everything I requested for my bridal makeup. I had a very long engagement, and she kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. My makeup came out exactly how I wanted it the day of my... Read More wedding and I am so glad that I used her. I highly recommend Stacey and her team!!!!

Stacey was absolutely amazing! My bridal party and myself were so happy with the way that the make-up turned out. I have already had wedding guests ask me for her information because they loved the make-up application as well. I would definitely use Stacey again for any... Read More future events.

AMAZING!! Stacey did my mother and my makeup for my wedding in Boston on Aug 3, 2017. I honestly can't even express what a fantastic experience it was working with Stacey! Her studio is intimate and comfortable. Her products are amazing, I bought items so I could use them every... Read More day! Both our trial and day-of makeup were perfect! It was almost 100 degrees on the day of my wedding and my makeup didn't budge all day and night, sweat tears and all. She was so professional, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup and don't like feeling like I have a lot on, but I felt so beautiful and natural. She is one of a kind and made my day so special!!

I could not say enough good things about Stacey. Not only was she prompt and in time at the day of my wedding, but her work and professionalism not just with me as a bride, but also with my family was commendable. I am a bit picky about my make up, and was a bit nervous the... Read More day of the wedding, worrying if Stacey would capture exactly what I wanted. She knew exactly not only what I wanted, but also what it would look good for me. I would highly recommend Stacey to any bride. If you want to feel beautiful on your wedding day, hire Stacey as your make up artist. She truly is an artist.

Stacey is a real professional. From the makeup trial to the big day, she was communicative, on-time, organized, and pleasant to deal with. But I know this is your second concern, right? You want to look amazing! And Stacey DELIVERS on that. She did the makeup for me, my three... Read More maids, and my mom and we all looked totally fab -- just like our own selves, but just that little bit better. Don't hesitate -- see if Stacey is free for your date immediately!

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon and the first thing I felt I absolutely needed to do was write a RAVING review for Stacey. She made me look BEYOND gorgeous for my wedding. She and her two associates (Michelle for hair and Dara for make-up) were so fun and so... Read More personable. I trusted her 100% and could not be happier with the results. I just got my pictures back and OMG - the girls look amazing! All my bridesmaids have been in weddings before and the feedback was unanimous: the hair and make-up they received from Stacey and team was the BEST they have ever had. She really brought out the best in each of us. I highly recommend using her - she is SO talented and worth every penny! Thank you Stacey!! Kathleen

Stacey is the absolute best. She not only gave me the most beautiful makeup for my wedding day, but she is such a calm and wonderful presence to have around right before those big life moments! She did my makeup, as well as my entire bridal party, my mother, and my... Read More mother-in-law, and throughout a 12-hour day including photos, an outdoor ceremony, and dancing like fools, our makeup was flawless throughout the whole event.

Stacey and her assistant were incredible. My fiancé said I looked the best I'd ever looked after my brief makeup trial, so I couldn't wait for Stacey to work her magic on our big day. She adjusted my look slightly once she saw my dress, which i really appreciated, and my husband... Read More was floored when he saw me. What more could you ask for?! My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids also all looked stunning. I couldn't have asked for a more professional, on-time, sweet, and talented makeup artist and I'm so lucky to have found her. I can't wait to work with her in the future for other occasions!

My wedding party cannot say enough about how talented Stacey is! She blew us away with her ability to make everyone look flawless bringing out the best in each of us. I received compliments all night as did my mother and bridesmaids. Stacey works with every age group and can... Read More

I had the most difficult time finding a make-up artist for my Wedding Day – not for lack of artist availability, but because I was so nervous I’d be disappointed and not have my vision become a reality. Before I knew it, I was 30 days out. We were at the point where my... Read More Mother-in-Law was booking trial appointments for me. Website after website I searched – every vendor on the Knot, suggestions from family, friends and former brides, etc. I loved some of the work I saw, but I didn’t love enough of one artist’s gallery to pull the trigger and book… until Stacey Frasca of Studio 28. Not only was her website informative and her gallery uber-impressive, but her 6 consecutive years of the Knot’s “Best of Weddings” (It’s now 7-years!) and 4 years of Wedding Wire’s Bride/Couples Choice Awards could not be over-looked. If I needed reassurance my vision would come to life, this was certainly it. I contacted Stacey and when she replied with my date open, I was ecstatic. I met with Stacey her Wellesley Studio just 21-days before my wedding. She looked at the Pinterest pictures I brought, listened to my ideas, likes and dislikes and ultimately put together something more beautiful than the vision I had in my head. I booked her on the spot. On my wedding day, Stacey arrived at the hotel on-time and quickly got to work on 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, aunt and of course, me. She kept on schedule which allowed us to get to the ceremony on time. What I thought would be a stressful morning, wasn’t. Stacey was able to keep the atmosphere relaxed and positive and fun. Most of my bridal party wears very little makeup and I was really worried about looking at my photos later and not being able to recognize anyone. Stacey was able to beautifully accent everyone’s features and make us feel glamorous. The airbrush make-up was light and left our skin flawless all night long. Oh! And the artificial eyelashes definitely made our eyes pop perfectly. I’ve never felt more beautiful.

I've been struggling with how best to share this review of my experience with Stacey on my wedding day this October (venue: The Crane Estate). I want to start by stating that Stacey did do a beautiful job on both my and my bridesmaids' makeup. The makeup was in keeping with... Read More both my desired style and wedding color scheme. However, unfortunately, I was quite surprised by Stacey's lack of professionalism. Stacy arrived 30 mins late (she did call with a heads up citing traffic-which I googled to find to be standard for that time of morning). When she arrived, she got set up and we began the makeup process. Unfortunately, because she was late, we needed to change around our hair/makeup schedule several times to accommodate. However, the larger issue was that Stacey proceeded to take numerous personal phone calls while doing our makeup-I would have no problem with a quick family call etc. (we're all friends here) but she took client calls to schedule new jobs and repeatedly said "well, I'll be done here soon", making us feel like we were standing between her and what she'd prefer to be doing. If it were not my wedding morning (I wanted to stay upbeat/calm), both my MOH and I would have strongly commented on her proceeding to take not 1 but 5 personal calls while doing my makeup! When the makeup was done, I then had to ask for several adjustments and was told it was perfect the way it was (apparently my preferences were not relevant on my own wedding day). I simply ended up fixing one skin issue and toning done my lips on my own after she left. This was truly a disappointing experience for me (especially as I had thought Stacey would turn out to be my most trusted vendor). Upon my return from my honeymoon, I left a clear voicemail on Stacey's phone (which I've reached her on previously) about my concerns and said that I would welcome the opportunity to connect directly vs. sharing my concerns in a review. However, I never received a call, email, or any form of communication in return. As a result, I have made the decision to share my experience here for future brides' reference. Addition: Given Stacey’s reply, the Knot has asked that she edit/remove her response within 48 hours, as it is in violation of their conduct policy (personal attacks). As I was in tears upon seeing Stacey’s shockingly unprofessional reply, I have also chosen to respond. Stacey's commentary was simply not true: I never met with even one other makeup vendor, I've never received anything but compliments on my home previously, our kitty was no where near the makeup, and my 'work' number belongs to my personal/work phone (I just asked that she use my other phone as my primary contact). I am 31 and have been with my now husband since I was 18; while important, the makeup really wasn’t what this special day was about for me. I took the same amount of time in the makeup chair as my bridesmaids and the changes I requested were in keeping with the feedback from my trial. Lastly, Stacey unquestionably took 5 calls during my makeup application alone (confirmed with my bridesmaids) + additional calls during the morning. My choosing not to raise the issue before putting on my wedding dress does not mean no concern existed. Stacey's post was hurtful not only to myself but to my family and husband as well. For future Brides/Mums, I hope that you consider the way Stacey choose to conduct herself/speak to a client before making her part of your special day.

Stacey is amazing to work with! She is so professional and talented at her craft. She made all of my bridesmaids and family members feel beautiful and most importantly made me as the bride glow more than I thought possible.

Stacey and her team were truly one of the best parts of my wedding day! I felt absolutely beautiful and my look lasted all day and night! She brought out my best features and my makeup was absolutely flawless but still so natural. Everyone complimented how beautiful I looked... Read More but the best part was they all said I still looked like me. Each of my 7 bridesmaids and 2 mothers were obsessed with their looks as well! She is such a talented makeup artist, but was also incredibly easy to work with, and one of the kindest most easygoing vendors. It is so important to feel comfortable and happy not just in your makeup but also to have awesome people around on the day of your wedding, and I can't say enough about how comfortable she made everyone feel. She and her team came all the way to Martha's Vineyard for my wedding day with a super early call time without hesitation or extra charge. I would urge every future bride to book her ASAP! You will not be disappointed!
