I had an incredible experience working with Samantha! Not only is she exceptionally talented, but she also has a calming and professional presence that instantly puts you at ease. ...
My makeup lasted all day, photographed beautifully, and most importantly—I still felt like myself, just elevated.

d the grounds, ensuring no guests saw me as I existed the touchup room to proceed to my ketubah signing, and even re-doing my bridesmaids' hair when my hair stylist was overwhelmed. She also brings the best energy and we had so much fun together. I would recommend her 100%.

Sam is absolutely amazing! She is so talented, meticulous, and has really calming energy. Sam and her team did wedding day makeup for my entire bridal party, my mom, my mother-in-l...
aw, and me, plus my rehearsal dinner makeup. To say they did an stunning job is an understatement. Every single person looked SO gorgeous and glowing while still looking them like themselves. In the past when I’ve had makeup done, it’s always felt fake and over the top. I’d inevitably end up removing some and adjusting it myself. I expressed this concern during my first call with Sam and she immediately put me at ease. Her makeup philosophy couldn’t have been more aligned with what I was looking for – her goal is to for makeup to look flawless, fresh, and not piled on in person. I was confident I was in good hands with Sam & her team and they did not disappoint. Everyone was so happy with their makeup and kept saying it was the best they've ever had done. I've personally never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My makeup felt fresh and perfectly finished without being overdone. I truly felt like the best version of myself. On the day of my wedding, Sam stayed with me until cocktail hour, touching up my makeup to make sure it stayed looking perfect! She truly went above and beyond and brought such good vibes to the day. I could not be more thankful for Sam or recommend her highly enough. If she's available, book her ASAP!
LOVE Samantha and her team. From the moment I spoke with Samantha on the phone, I knew I wanted her and the team to do my wedding HMU. Samantha, Stephanie, Coco and Monique are tru...
ly the BEST - they have amazing energy and I cannot give them higher praise! The bridal party (and myself) looked stunning!! Highly recommend!!

I wanted. Normally, I get my makeup done and then go into the bathroom to tweak it myself but truly had nothing I would've changed. I felt so confident and beautiful!
Sam and her team are incredible! If I could give an unlimited amount of stars I would. We all looked absolutely beautiful for my daughters wedding. Just flawless! Not only is ...
she extremely talented, her calming demeanor is exactly what’s needed on your wedding day. Our experience from start to finished was perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate looking further. Set up a call and see for yourself. Lucky me, I have another daughter that will be getting married so I get to see her again❤️.
Sam and her team are THE FREAKING BEST!!!! Sam did my rehearsal dinner make up and wedding day make up and I could not be happier with her work. I felt like a PRINCESS! Her work i...
s FLAWLESS. She also did my moms and mother in laws make up for the wedding and they were beyond happy with their look. Her team did my bridesmaids and my aunts and every single person was SO thrilled with their make up. Everyone said it was one of the best If not the best make up they had ever gotten. My make up stayed in tact the entire night but my favorite part of all was Sam’s personality and working with Sam throughout the wedding process. Her whole team had the best personality and were so fun to be around. Sam kept me SO calm and happy on the wedding day, it was so nice having her for the pictures, leading up to the ceremony and everything else. I wish I could post the before and after pictures to show how amazing her work was! I also loved my little wedding kit, which I brought with me on my honeymoon. BEAST TEAM BEST WORK. Thank you Sam for EVERYTHING!
Sam is an absolute GEM. She did my makeup for my wedding, and I have never felt more beautiful in my whole life. Her calming energy the day of the event is exactly what a bride nee...
ds. She even provided goodies to use later that night, including makeup remover and hair ties, truly showing she thinks of it all. Her assistant also did makeup for my friends and was incredible as well. Couldn’t recommend Sam more strongly!
If you’re getting married, then you should hire Samantha and her team! I have never seen such flawless makeup done on myself and my Bridal Party. Their technique is excellent and t...
hey take into account your overall look, what you want, & what they think would look best on you. Samantha is also just a wonderful person - she is kind, warm, professional, and is a great person to have with you on your wedding day. I also hired Samantha to stay with me for the whole day (up until the ceremony) to help me with ‘Maid of Honor’ duties (fixing any make up, helping me with my dress when taking photos, etc.), and I can honestly say that the day would not have run as smoothly or we wouldn’t have gotten as many photos as we did without her! She was absolutely pivotal to the success of the day! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Samantha did my makeup for my bridal shower and will be doing my makeup for my wedding day as well. I can not say greater things about her skill level and kind, warm, personality. ...
She made getting ready for my shower so fun and easy. I got countless compliments on how glamorous yet natural my makeup looked. I would recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a makeup artist!
Sam is one of the most incredible women I ever met. I worked with Sam on my wedding day, as she did the makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, and myself. She is beyond professional and...
incredibly knowledgeable with all things makeup. Sam executed my makeup perfectly, better than I even imagined that I would look like on my wedding day. When I was feeling a bit anxious, Sam sensed it and calmed me down. She cares about you as a person and wants you to feel as beautiful as she enhances your natural beauty. Working with Sam is gaining a friend. I hope that I get to work with her more in the future at my friends’ weddings!
Samantha's team was beyond amazing for our wedding day. All of the bridesmaids and mom's looked beautiful. Having the makeup artist (Crystal) stay with me up until the ceremony /...
through pictures was key. She made sure everyone was touched up for photos and no one had to worry about what they looked like since Crystal took care of everything. The airbrush option for everyone is a really great touch. I cannot thank Samantha's team enough for everything they did for my wedding day!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Samantha and her team are magical. I had contracted them for hair, make up and for Sam to stay for touch ups throughout the day. Having S...
am all day was amazing. She took photos, held my flowers, carried my train, made sure I looked flawless in all my photos. She put me and ease when I was feeling tense. Her and her team made me feel like a princess and I am so grateful to have them share in my special day. I would highly recommend. Worth every penny!
There are not enough nice things to say about Samantha. She did my makeup for my engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and of course wedding and each time it was beyond flawless. Not ...
only is she super talented when it comes to doing makeup and gives you such a soft natural but glamourous look - but she really goes above and beyond and you can see how much she cares about her clients! Seriously the best decision I made for my wedding was hiring Samantha. She was with me the entire day of the wedding, helping me with photos, making sure my makeup stayed looking fresh, she even fixed my hair several times because my hair team was less than perfect and she seriously was an all around saver for myself and my entire bridal party. Super responsive, super talented, super nice & caring! If you want to be yourself in good hands for the one of the most important days- she is for sure your girl!
Samantha is absolutely amazing! I could not have felt more beautiful on my wedding day because of her. I was lucky enough to have Samantha do my hair and makeup four times over the...
last year... engagement photos, engagement party, wedding trial and wedding day. From the beginning to the end of the process she was organized, professional, and very flexible with both our busy schedules. Every time we met together we created different looks and hair styles which ultimately help us pick the perfect look for my wedding day. And it was PERFECT. Seriously, Samantha is perfect. My only regret is not having her there the entire day with me. That being said... she stayed with me as long as possible touching up my hair, makeup and even fixing my dress for me during my bridal photos. HMUA also felt like MOH who completely took care of you. I can’t thank her enough!! Love, Deana
Samantha did a fantastic job with make-up and hair at for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. I am a make-up minimalist, and Samantha did a perfect job of “enhancing” my appearance ...
while maintaining the “natural” look I feel comfortable with. She turned me into an improved version of myself without it looking obvious. When I met my now-husband for dinner right after Samantha and I did our make-up trial, he said I looked good…but couldn’t figure out why 😊 .
Samantha was also wonderful with my two nieces and step-daughter, part of the wedding party. She had them send her pictures of how they wanted their hair, and they loved being part of the arrangements. During our “hair and make-up time”, Samantha, also a mother of two girls, enjoyed talking with them and listening to music. They said that their time with Samantha was their second favorite part of the wedding (first, of course, was the dancing!).

Samantha did the makeup for me plus 8 others on my wedding day, and working with her was one of the best wedding decisions I made, and for so many reasons. My husband’s one concern...
going into our wedding day was that he wanted to make sure I still looked like myself despite my makeup, and with Samantha that is no concern. She has perfected an ability to make her clients look absolutely incredible but without being over-done and my husband was blown away when he saw me (to say the least). And of course, I LOVED my makeup as well. Not only that, but Samantha went above and beyond. She was in-tune with all my needs throughout the day , knowing what I needed even before I did. She stayed by my side during pre-ceremony pictures and put me at ease until the very last moment. Samantha truly made me feel my absolute best, something all brides should have on their wedding day! All I can say is, if you have the opportunity to work with Samantha, you should!!!!
I could not have made it through the day without Samantha!! She was amazing! She did a fabulous job on everyone’s makeup. I paid extra to have her stay with me all day up until th...
e reception and it was worth every penny! She was more than my MUA, she helped with whatever I needed and I felt comfortable having her around. She was patient with me and fun to be with! I highly recommend using her! Her assistant she brought with her also did a great job. My bridesmaid even booked her for her wedding right after! Thanks again Sam!
Amazing!! I have never felt prettier than I did on my wedding day!
I wish I could give Samantha more than 5 stars, because she is truly amazing at what she does. From my trial, ...
to the day of- everything was seamless. She is friendly, personable, and beyond professional. She answered all of my questions and was extremely responsive to emails/calls/ etc.
She truly made me the most beautiful and polished version of myself I could ever imagine. Samantha also brought with her another artist, Crystal, because I had 9 girls needing makeup including myself. Crystal was equally as phenomenal as Samantha. I was amazed that two different artists could create a uniform makeup look across my 6 bridesmaids. No one looked over or under done, and everyone truly looked like the most amazing version of themselves. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law, all couldn't get over how pretty they looked. Additionally, Samantha was there for me EVERY single second of my prep, leading up to our photographs, and through my ceremony. She helped touch up my makeup literally standing on the beach, held my dress/veil/or bouquet, and even assisted my photographers and videographers. She was such a huge help during this time, that my photographer even commented on wanting her around more often. Before our ceremony she helped re-curl some of my curls and my bridesmaids curls that had fallen due to the beach weather, and touch up my makeup so it was perfect for the ceremony. Samantha was my right-hand woman throughout the day, especially for things my sister (Maid of Honor) couldn't help with.
Samantha ( and Crystal too)- Thank you SO so much for such an amazing experience and for making me (and everyone else) look so beautiful and perfect on our special day.
Wow. Samantha is amazing. She really takes the time and thought to make sure you look absolutely stunning on your big day. She's fun, really pays attention to detail and knows e...
xactly how to make you feel amazing.
Samantha was my MUA for my wedding on June 17 2017 and she also did my makeup for my engagement pictures. From the very beginning Samantha went over and beyond. She made not only m...

! We are so grateful she was with us that day and through the entire year of events!
Words cannot describe how special Samantha made me feel. From the moment we started communicating she was responsive and friendly. We planned our wedding from the West coast and sh...
e was patient and understanding of our time constraints. She came out to Long Island for my trial, and even helped me arrange for my hair stylist and a trial! She went above and beyond on our wedding day, it felt like SHE was running the show! From holding my dress, to the touch-ups, to making everyone feel and look glamorous. She was upbeat, positive, and made everyone look and feel their best. My Mom still talks about how she felt like a movie star that day!! We all did! If you're looking for a makeup artist who has experience, professionalism and is the all around total makeup service package Samantha is IT! She helped keep me sane and organized and was there for our entire bridal party from start to finish. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Samantha and her team! She truly made our day magical!!
Samantha's love for her job as a makeup artist completely shines through in her work. I found her through a recommendation from a friend and was so happy after our trial together....
She was a breeze to work with, responding promptly to questions and staying organized with our schedule. On my wedding day, she arrived early with plenty of time to set up. She was scheduled to do my makeup plus two of my bridesmaids. In the end, she added another bridesmaid's full makeup as well as eyelash extensions for two other maids. She was so professional and listens to you when you have a suggestion, question or worry. She made me feel like the most radiant bride and I was so confident with how I looked on the day that you are supposed to look your most beautiful. The first words out of my hubby's mouth during our 'first look' was that he had never seen me look more beautiful. I would wholeheartedly recommend her!
Samantha was absolutely the best vendor at my wedding! I met her through a friend at work and was not dissatisfied at all! Sam came to my home and did my trial. She listened to all...
of my concerns as I'm not a huge make up wearer. On the day of the wedding she was so helpful and even was a shoulder for me when I was extremely nervous (what bride isn't?!). We had her stay until the end of the ceremony for touch ups and she even ended up helping my dad out by putting some makeup on his "raccoon eyes" from sunglasses wearing! Sam is an amazing person inside and out. I plan to refer her to anyone I know that plans on needing professional makeup done in the North Jersey vicinity. She is completely professional and fabulous!
Samantha was recommended to me by a dear friend for my wedding.
To preface- I HATE the feeling and how I often look in makeup done by others- even when its a little bit of airb...
rush. She totally understood. She was able to really get what I was looking for even when I was pretty vague on how I wanted my makeup done in the beginning. I wanted a dewy, LIGHT airbrush natural look with smoky cat eyes. It was perfection.
Not only was she fantastic at her job,but she also made me feel totally comfortable, as if I was gabbing away with a girlfriend I knew well, rather than some stranger that I just met.
I couldn't recommend somebody better to do the most important day of your life. All my bridesmaids, my step mom and aunt looked amazing,(her assistant was awesome too!) and her rates are very reasonable. Look no further.
Samantha was amazing at my wedding, not only did she do an amazing job with my makeup and all of my bridesmaids, but she was also so helpful with my dress and helping me during my ...
pictures. Everyone kept telling me that they have never seen everyone in the bridal party turn out well with makeup and honestly everyone looked great. My father who never notices anything came up to me and said Samantha was amazing with you today. She truly went over and beyond for me and let me tell you I am not easy to please, but in my eyes Samantha couldn't have done a better job that day.
Sam is the best!!! Sam did the makeup for my entire bridal party & I've gotten so many compliments on how great our makeup came out! Sam went out of her way to make sure I looked g...
orgeous that day & my makeup never looks as great as when Sam does it. We loved her so much that she did my sisters entire bridal party & is now going to be doing another bridesmaids wedding. We also had a tanning party where she came to our house to spray us all a few nights before. "Tan Sam" has been my go-to tan girl for years & she always makes me look my best! I would recommend Sam to anyone without a moment's hesitation!
Samantha was INCREDIBLE. I cannot stress enough how patient, fun, reliable, reasonable, and talented she is! She came to my home in Brooklyn for a trial and was early, brought all ...
her supplies (including lighting and a chair!) and did a fantastic job. I snatched her up for my wedding in Westchester right away. She brought an assistant, who was also extremely talented, and together they did 10 peoples' makeup in under 3 hours. She was so upbeat, friendly and focused. Everyone looked natural and gorgeous. She listens to what you want and does it. And the eyelash extensions and air brushing as phenomenal. She also bought me a lip gloss to use through the night. I highly, unreservedly recommend her!!!
