Project Face

Mandy was AMAZING to work with! Makeup for your wedding day can be daunting, especially since it's a huge deal for photos! I was confident from the very beginning that Mandy was listening to all of my concerns and wants when it came to my makeup. At the trial, she was extremely helpful when deciding what look I wanted to go with, and she made sure to save everything she used that we liked. She was very professional, but also felt like talking to a friend! My bridesmaids and MOB/MOG also got their makeup done, and they all looked flawless! The day of was super relaxed knowing that everyone didn't have to worry about getting ready on their own. Mandy was timely and gave just enough time to each girl, making sure they were satisfied with their makeup. I can't recommend her enough! She made my wedding day makeup dreams come true!

Mandy was such a delightful and talented professional to do my wedding make-up. She asked for details regarding my preferred look and adhered to that look I specified. After trying fake eyelashes and feeling like the heaviness of the lashes might cause me distress, she switched to individual lashes which were a huge relief. My make-up was light and soft, and echoed the natural feel I was going for. She completed my bridesmaids' make-up with thoroughness and detail. I cannot recommend her enough!

My friends and I took a girls trip to Nashville this past weekend and I lined up Mandy as a surprise to my girlfriends. One of them who been dealing with breast cancer over the past year and the other had lost her father to cancer in the past year. She was more than happy for the challenge of making us look and feel beautiful! She was there when she said she would be, which I feel is very important. Her products were all properly and neatly stored. She discussed how she cleaned/sanitized her brushes after using them, another thing that is important. She was knowlegeable about products she was using and answered questions about products she wasn't using. We loved her company and conversation!! She is definitely great at what she does. Check out her before and after photos, they are amazing. We loved everything she did for us to make our trip a memorable one!!! If you're planning a wedding, she's your gal!!!

The one part of my wedding that made it difficult to release control was my makeup- I know my face, love makeup, and like it applied a certain way... but I knew that I should find someone to do it for the big day so that I could relax. After pouring through countless pages of reviews, I ended up choosing to do a trial with Mandy, whose work I admired on Instagram and YouTube. She was absolutely incredible and, hands down, the only person I would trust to do my makeup. She is professional, but also so warm and accommodated me for 2 trials during limited availability I had as an out of town bride. She was quick to collaborate with me on any ideas or changes I had (no matter how picky I know I can be about makeup), and her calming and kind demeanor made me so relaxed and assured on my wedding day. I’m trying to properly put into words how great I felt looking in the mirror after she did my makeup for my wedding - it was the exact look I had imagined and I just felt incredible. I also am trying to put into words just how difficult it is for me to not find something I dislike when someone else does my makeup!! But it was perfect! My bridesmaids were all done in record time (no small feat as I had an army of 8 getting makeup done) and my mother in law and my mom both loved their looks- neither wears much makeup everyday, and Mandy handled doing their looks so gracefully and made both comfortable with wearing just enough for photos! My sister loved the way Mandy let her freckles show through while covering only the pigmentation she wanted to hide. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup, and they all looked like themselves just a little more glam! Each girl told me that this was the best they had felt having their makeup done for a wedding and that they genuinely felt very pretty. Moral of the story- Mandy is fantastic and the part of the wedding day that I thought would be most stressful - getting 8 girls, 2 moms and myself, the pickiest makeup person alive, into makeup -on time- that lasts all night- did I mention it was the NFL draft weekend and the day of the marathon?- turned out to be so much fun and one of the most special memories I’ll carry with me. Update: I’ve gotten a few photos back from my photographer and absolutely love the way my makeup looks in them. **For brides who love makeup and want more info, here are a couple specific things Mandy did incredibly well: - I have a little part of my cheek that won’t let product stick to it which drives me insane with bronzing/contouring- Mandy is a miracle worker and got it to take. - My brows (way more sisters than twins) have literally never looked so even in photos thanks to Mandy. My brows always drive me crazy in photos. - I had lash extensions for the wedding and Mandy worked with them easily!
