makeup trial. She really helped me discover how I wanted to look and feel on my wedding day. She came prepared the morning of my wedding. My friends and family were so happy with their makeup as well! She was one of the kindest and most genuine person I met throughout the wedding planning process. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone’s bridal makeup!!
I discovered Jan through Instagram while browsing bridal makeup photos, and I was immediately drawn to the flawless, natural looks she created for her brides. After meeting her, I ...
knew she was the perfect fit. Jan is kind, knowledgeable, and intuitive. She really took the time to explore my vision for the look I wanted, answering all my questions thoughtfully. She even created a customized skincare plan for the week leading up to the wedding using Eminence products. On the big day, my makeup was everything I had hoped for—seriously flawless and natural—and it lasted ALL day long! I am so grateful I found Jan and still use her today for my skincare and eyebrow shaping needs!
I could not recommend Jan more for your wedding day! She provided me with many services along the way up to my wedding day, and each one was outstanding. I loved my makeup on my we...

There are not enough adjectives to describe Jan Gilsdorf. She was incredible to work with. From our first encounter over the phone, to emailing back and forth, finally meeting in p...
erson for my bridal trial and then doing makeup on my wedding day - Jan was perfect! She made me feel comfortable, asked questions I didn't know I needed to answer and guided me through the process. She offers both airbrush and traditional makeup, which is the route we went since I don't normally wear a lot of makeup day-to-day. Jan made me feel like the MOST beautiful girl in the world. I would recommend her to every one of my girlfriends.
Jan did amazing job. I got married July with 101 temp outside and my makeup lasted the whole night. Everyone told I was just beautiful that day. Thank you
Jan was exactly who I needed to do my makeup on my wedding day. As someone who wears a modest amount of makeup day to day (mascara, tinted moisturizer, blush and I'm out the door) ...
I was so nervous that I would end up not looking like myself. She made me look like myself on my best day! It was PERFECT. The makeup lasted all day and night (even with a warmer photo session outside mid day), the makeup didn't get patchy or dewy, and looked beautiful in pictures and in person.
She communicated so well throughout the process, including the trial, making sure I was 100% happy with it. I'm so glad she was available for my wedding day. (Also her studio space is the absolute cutest vibe.) She was a joy to work with and my bridal party loved her as well!
Jan did my makeup for my wedding as well as my bridal party's. She was an absolute gem to work with. She made the process fun and easy and my makeup was exactly how I wanted it for...

Jan is AMAZING! I was referred by my wedding photographer for a shoot and I would not have had the same experience without her talent. after my shoot, I knew I needed her for my we...
dding day!
Jan is all about personifying what you want your best self to look like. I had never had my makeup professionally done before, but she took such a consultant approach in a way that made me feel comfortable and in no way overwhelmed (which I do easily). She took all of my uncertainties and insecurities about my skin and turned my experience into one I’ve never had…in which I felt I felt beautiful and comfortable with my looks.
Thank you so much, Jan!
Jan is a MUST for your wedding makeup! She knew exactly how to bring out all of my natural features without making me feel like my face was over-loaded with makeup. She is a brilli...
ant makeup artist and esthetician. She will customize everything to you, making her perfect for any bride, ranging from brides who prefer the more natural look to brides wanting to be absolutely glammed! My bridesmaids all raved about her as well, they had never felt so beautiful for a wedding before! I love Jan and her work so much that I’ve been seeing her for regular facials and makeup tutorials even after my wedding day. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!!!
Jan was such a joyous energy to have on our wedding day! She not only made me feel beautiful, but she was helpful for my family as well. Her calming presence was just what I need...

Jan was great to work with! As a person who doesn't wear lots of makeup on a daily basis, I was worried wedding-level makeup would feel and look cakey. However, that was not the c...
ase at all and I'm now a mineral makeup convert! She made me feel like an enhanced version of myself.
I also came to her in the weeks leading up to the wedding for facials to get my skin in tip-top shape. She never pressured me into this but I would highly recommend it to any bride (or groom). It enabled Jan to get an even better understanding of my skin on the day-of.
Jan was amazing! She did makeup for my mom, all of my bridesmaids, and myself. We all looked amazing, and like better versions of ourselves! She is also great to talk to and makes ...
you feel at ease.
Jan is not only a kind, caring, genuine person- she is a skillful and professional artist who made me feel more beautiful than I ever have on my wedding day. I chose Jan because sh...
e listened to every detail of our wedding and incorporated those intricacies into my wedding makeup palette. I couldn't have been happier with my final look - AND it still looked flawless at the end of the night after a HOT, long day! I would highly recommend Reflect Makeup Artistry to any bride- or anyone, for any occasion- because of the professionalism, personal touches, and stunning makeup Jan provides! I also love that brides get to keep the lipstick color Jan uses. I can't wait to use my wedding lipstick color on special occasions with my new hubby- it will be so special!
Jan did a great job on my wedding day making it look like I had no makeup on and bringing out all my natural features! She is knowledgeable and shows you little make up techniques ...

Jan was simply amazing. Everything about the experience was catered to my needs. Through the makeup trial, Jan was able to grasp exactly what I was hoping for on my big day and mad...
e changes during the trial to ensure there were no surprises when the wedding day came. She also did makeup for several of my bridesmaids, and all turned out beautifully. Jan has the best calming demeanor about her, and this really eliminated a lot of stress of the day. She does a fantastic job at subtle beauty, but can create a very dramatic look as well if desired, very versatile artist and would highly recommend.
Jan was great! She came up to Omaha to do an initial meet with me and came up again for a trial run for both my mom & I. She was so easy to get along with & was very flexible if I ...
wanted to try new looks. I've recommended her to friends & actually get to work with her again but as a bridesmaid this time!!
Jan was amazing! She was very flexible when we were scheduling the makeup trial/eyebrow wax and was very laid back. She was also very understanding of the "what the bride wants vs....
what the mother of the bride wants" situation, and made sure we were both happy at the end of the day. My makeup looked gorgeous and lasted through the ceremony, pictures and reception with very minimal touch up. Thanks to Jan I looked like the best version of myself on my wedding day, not someone unrecognizable under layers of makeup. Makeup was one of the first items on the agenda that day, and how happy I was definitely set the tone early on. Thanks for everything!!!
