Professional Makeup Artist Stacey Frasca

I cannot express the level of expertise, skill and talent that I experienced with my trial and wedding day. I have known Stacey for many years and she referred me to Danielle for my wedding. Danielle is amazing! She is a true artist. Danielle made everyone feel comfortable and had us laughing and smiling the whole time! I cannot thank you enough.

I worked with Stacey and her team for my September 2019 wedding. She was FABULOUS. I am a person who has had my make up done maybe twice in my life, so I didn't really know what I wanted. Through my trial and on the day of, Stacey listened to my vision and helped create a look that I was thrilled with. In addition to this, she also worked really well with my mother who was extremely nervous on the day of the wedding. Her calm demeanor and warmth helped set a happy mood in the getting ready suite and we all had a great time! So if you want a perfect make up look and a really fun time getting it done, choose Stacey! I could not recommend her highly enough!

Stacey made me feel confident and relaxed on my wedding day. She is extremely talented at making you look like the best version of yourself, taking personal style and preferences into account. She also did an amazing job for my entire bridal party. Everyone was thrilled with her work!

Not only did Stacey make me look my very best, but she kept this mother-of-the-bride calm and confident the day of. She is the person you just want to hang around, whether it's a high pressure day or not. She also did my make-up for my author head shot (my nom de plume is JJ Shelley) and I love it.

Stacey is kind, warm, and puts you right at ease. She had done the makeup for my sister's wedding last year so I knew I wanted to use her for my own wedding. She is very talented and made me and my bridesmaids feel absolutely beautiful! She really takes time during the makeup trial to make sure everything is exactly how you want it, and on the wedding day she went above and beyond for me and my bridal party. Stacey is the best in the business hands down!

Stacey and her team recently did my wedding. She is great. Very professional and everyone really loved their makeup. I wanted a very natural look and she executed on that perfectly. I would def recommend.

Stacey is incredibly talented and I am so glad to have worked with her for my wedding day. I had done a trial with a different makeup artist prior and did not like the way my makeup turned out with that makeup artist so I searched around and found Stacey. She is a true professional and is super sweet and great to work with. I liked the makeup she did for my trial so much, we ended up getting my entire wedding party done and I am so glad we did. She brought in Harley to assist her on the wedding day and both did an absolutely amazing job. Everyone looked incredible and felt beautiful. I am very picky about makeup and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. I felt like I had a natural look, just accentuated and felt very pretty. I highly recommend choosing Stacey for your wedding day - I am so glad I did!

I was absolutely honored to have Stacey do my make-up for my wedding. She made me look like an absolute princess and my whole bridal party looked fantastic! Stacey was warm and welcoming from the first moment we met for the trial, and made me feel so comfortable on the day of my wedding as well. Her assistant was also lovely and talented! I could not have been happier with Stacey's services and the amazing job she did.

Stacey really listens to what you want and I had a great experience with her. She was flexible with travel and last minute changes on my end, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Stacey and her team were absolutely fabulous on my wedding day. Stacey made me feel like the most beautiful bride! She and her team were so relaxed and calming, which is super important to feel on the big day. I had a rather large wedding party (10 women + myself) as well as family and Stacey + her team were so great accommodating everyone and did so in a timely manner. We were on time throughout the entire morning and worked so well with my hair stylist, even though they hadn't worked together before. She made being a bride such an amazing experience! Also, I LOVED her makeup style and the fact that she listened to my vision. She was incredible with some of the women who had more sensitive skin as well as my Grandmother who was super happy with the way it turned out. I highly recommend Stacey for future makeup for all brides, she and her team were the absolute BEST!

Stacey was fabulous! I loved my makeup, and everyone from my mom to my husband thought it looked great - not overdone but just like me but better. And all my bridesmaids looked great as well - she and her assistant were fantastic about responding to everyone's requests and making everyone look the way they wanted. She also arranged for hairstylists for everyone, so definitely reach out to Stacey if you are looking for both hair and makeup - Michelle and Vanessa, the stylists she suggested, were both amazing, and everyone's hair looked fantastic. Also, everyone was just great to be with on the morning of the wedding - they were relaxed, fun, and not stressed, and they finished hair and makeup well before the time they promised. If you're looking for makeup for a Boston area wedding, I can't recommend Stacey highly enough.

Stacey and her team were beyond AMAZING! I got married a week ago and am still reeling from the day. I've never felt more confident and beautiful in my life. She listened to my thoughts and opinions on how I wanted to look on my day and elevated it to a look I couldn't have dreamt up on my own! Her presence was calming, she is a total pro. I received so many compliments on my makeup. But what's most important is that I felt like myself. Thank you Stacey for making me feel like a super star on my wedding day.

I had the privilege of booking Stacey as my makeup artist for my recent wedding. From my first conversation and trial with her I knew she was the right person to do my makeup for my big day. During my trial she truly listened to the look I was striving for. She created a masterpiece! When I got home, my friends and family could not believe how flawless and natural the makeup application looked. The same held true for my wedding day. Stacey has a gift for applying makeup. I am so pleased with how amazing my makeup looked for my wedding. Not to mention I did not need to touch up or reapply my makeup from when it was put on in the early afternoon for First Look pictures. My makeup even lasted to the next evening! If you are looking for a makeup artist for your wedding or any other event, you must contact Stacey. You will not be disappointed!

Stacey is amazing! So responsive in email leading up to the big day and on the day of not only did she make my bridesmaids and family look beautiful, she made me FEEL beautiful which is so important! She was so helpful not just with makeup but in bringing a calm energy to the room and giving suggestions on how to manage other aspects of the wedding day! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!

Stacey and her team made my wedding a dream. After meeting me for a trial a month before the big day she provided the perfect most beautiful flawless face on my wedding day so much so that everyone said—‘omg who did your makeup’? A consummate professionalshe is the real deal!

I am not the best with words. Anything I write here could not possibly express how much I appreciate Stacey coming to my rescue and doing my makeup on my wedding day. Approx one month before my wedding I figured out that I needed to find new hair and makeup artists. Within hours of reaching out to Stacey, I had a hair stylist to try at her recommendation (who I also booked) and a trial appointment with Stacey. She calmed me during a very stressful time. Stacey is very professional and did a great job with me, a demanding MOB, and 4 bridesmaids. She had all of us done within 3 hours. All of us looked great! Thank you Stacey. I would recommend you to anyone.

Stacey was absolutely lovely and I am so glad she was part of our wedding day! She's not only incredibly personable and easy to work with, she's an absolutely phenomenal makeup artist. Stacey and her assistant did the wedding makeup for seven of us on our wedding day and everyone looked flawless. She took the time to talk about what each of the girls wanted, how they typically did their makeup, etc. and then took it to the next level and made it wedding worthy! I've never felt so beautiful - I received so many compliments, and I don't think it's just because it was my wedding day! If you're looking for a professional makeup artist for your wedding I cannot recommend Stacey enough - thank you for everything!

Stacey and her assistant Taylor did an amazing job for my wedding on 6/9/18 !! ❤️❤️ Myself and all my bridesmaids looked amazing and received multiple compliments on that the makeup looked great. They said it wasn’t to much and looked flawless. I honestly received my make up at 11am and even after pictures in the sun on a 75 degree day I went to check on my face before cocktail hour at 4pm and didn’t need to touch anything up but my lipstick! The airbrushing and eyelashes were wonderful! Stacey & Taylor were so nice and friendly, great to work with! I highly recommend Stacey for any occasion you need your makeup done!!

Stacey Frasca did my makeup and my daughter's makeup for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah service and party. She is an unbelievable makeup artist who is so talented. Stacey was able to apply our makeup more subtle for the morning service and was also able to give us a more dramatic look for at night while making sure we had just the right look with the right amount applied! In addition to her talent she has the BEST demeanor and personality. Stacey is calm, open to suggestions, honest and patient. We never felt frazzled or rushed and we did not need to fix our makeup the entire night! If you hire Stacey you will have one less thing to worry about!

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 work with any skin color. We never looked so beautiful. In addition, she has a fabulous personality contributing to the fun and happiness of the occasion. We felt like celebrities and look forward to another occasion for a Stacey Frasca experience! We highly recommend her as the best.

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 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.

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 a calming presence, which is definitely nice on a wedding morning... I highly recommend Stacey!

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 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 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. 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!!

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 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 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 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 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!

Stacey is fantastic! She made my bridesmaids and I look gorgeous. Everyone had their own look depending on what they liked which was great. She is such a talented make up artist and we received so many compliments. Stacey coordinated the order my bridesmaids would go in which was great! I would highly recommend her for any event!
