Shimmer and Spice

e.

energy to our getting ready room. They’re both so fun and talkative and everyone looked absolutely amazing and the makeup still looked just as flawless at the end of the night! Highly recommend getting a custom lip shade it’s one of my favorite things I have from that day! Penelope and Kristin thank you again so much!!

The entire Shimmer & Spice team was great to work with throughout the duration of planning, very communicative and responsive throughout the crazy process that is wedding planning. Highly recommend to all brides!

e we have had our makeup done professionally and have been disappointed. I had a trial with Darian and was so confident she would make me look amazing on the big day, and I was truly blown away. She was also so professional but also easy to talk to and made me feel super relaxed the moment that I met her. On my wedding day, some bridesmaids came up to me and said that they have never liked their makeup more when done professionally! Darian and DeAnna truly catered to everyone's requests. Their natural aesthetic is what drew me to the company in the first place, and they delivered. I highly recommend using Shimmer and Spice!

makeup, and she took that information to heart. It was also such a pleasure to see how much my mom and aunt loved their makeup (they had never had it done before). Hailey was punctual and professional during our trial and the day of, but she was also relaxed and fun to work with. I really appreciated her energy when my nerves set in before the wedding - she fit right into our wedding party. Shimmer and Spice makes booking and payment easy. They are a team of excellent communicators. Thank you, Hailey and Shimmer and Spice, for everything <3

u want to feel beautiful, authentic, and confident. My lead artist, Maggie, was amazing to work with and was willing to modify all elements of my makeup to match the look I was going for. On the day of the wedding, Maggie & her co-artist, Darian, worked with each bridesmaid & mom individually on what they wanted, and every one walked away loving their look, exuding such amazing confidence. I am so grateful to have had them there for my wedding day, and can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Shimmer & Spice!

stponements Shimmer and Spice was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Thanks so much!

make-up. Kristyn is professional, very friendly, and super easy to work with. She even gave me some recommendations for eye creams since I have super sensitive skin. For someone who does not wear a lot of make-up, I am always worried that I will not look like myself but Kristyn knew exactly what I was looking for. If you are looking for a natural glam make-up contact shimmer and spice ASAP. Cannot recommend them enough!

me feel so beautiful for my wedding day! HIGHLY recommended. You won’t find anyone better!

the wedding. You can tell that she loves what she does and she is so good at it!

y to work with as well. I would definitely hire them for your next event!

I would recommend them to any bride wanting to look natural and beautiful!

fortable and beautiful, I could not have been more happy or grateful!

out the natural beauty with quality products, nothing cakey, and that felt comfortable to wear all day. The makeup lasted all day, eyelashes were applied perfectly, and they finished earlier than expected. I can not thank them enough!

person you want to have around on your wedding day! Our second artist Darian was also a pleasure to work with. My girls and our mothers kept commenting on how fun and relaxed everyone was, and we managed to be ready ahead of schedule. I couldn’t recommend Shimmer + Spice more for your wedding day make-up needs! Thanks, Kristyn, Maggie, and Darian!

makes comments about how much he loved my makeup! She and Hannah Jo did a great job making all the girls look stunning and they were so sweet! I really appreciated how well they worked with our hairstylists to create a timeline that worked for my bridal party. They were so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Kristyn and her team do a great job of communicating with clients from the very beginning. Don't hesitate to hire S+S for your wedding day makeup! You will not regret it!

didn't really give a great description. My makeup was the perfect natural glam that they are famous for and held up all day and night. Both Penelope and Hailey did the makeup for the rest of the girls and they all looked gorgeous! Highly recommend them!!

We received so many compliments and they truly make you look like a natural, enhanced version of yourself. They are also just the sweetest, we loved their company getting reading :) thank you Shimmer & Spice team for everything <3

y with my bridesmaids so exciting, we enjoyed all of the conversations and laughter that was shared during the makeup process. They are organized and have a great system running in making sure that each girl has a time slot for when to get their makeup done. I was highly pleased with how my makeup turned out and how it lasted throughout a night filled with rain, sweat and lots of happy tears. (P.S. Their false lashes are 100% worth it. Trust me, you will not regret it! <3)

appy with my makeup and everyone in my bridal party was so excited about their makeup as well. I would absolutely recommend Shimmer and Spice for your wedding makeup!

ly all day. Can't recommend shimmer and spice enough if you want to look like yourself, but better, on your wedding day!

aside from special events, I really wanted to find someone who could make me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, while still looking like me, which is exactly what Kristyn did! She specializes in natural glam, and does not disappoint! All of my girls and mother in law looked and felt amazing and our makeup held up all night, through moments of misty rain and sweating on the dance floor! I also purchased a lip color from Kristyn which she made for me to wear that day, it was creamy and moisturizing, with a really lovely coconut scent to it! This came in handy for reapplying through out the night after eating and drinking! Aside from being an incredible makeup artist, Kristyn is so sweet and personable and a calming energy to have on your big day! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

hat day and my make up still looked flawless by the end of our after party. Even with COVID, Shimmer & Spice was amazing and flexible. I would 100% hire them again!

ural but elevated, and my bridesmaids LOVED Megan and Darian. I repeatedly received compliments that it was the best wedding makeup experience anyone had had. Shimmer and Spice is professional, responsive, easy to work with, and delivers beautiful results. I especially appreciate how they work collaboratively with you to make your day what you want it to be - mixing custom lip colors, adding support to manage wedding day timelines, and adding services like lashes on the fly. Thank you!!

and all of the girls really enjoyed their time in their chairs. Can't recommend enough!

tponed our wedding once before deciding to have a microwedding instead. Throughout that entire stressful process, Shimmer and Spice were not only flexible and willing to work with us, but they also treated us with so much compassion and understanding- it was appreciated beyond words. Despite having my original trial with Maggie (who was amazing!), I was lucky enough to have Penelope available on our new wedding date. Penelope is a master of her craft and a true professional. She truly listened to the preferences of each family member having their makeup done and was also able to provide her recommendations, and everyone looked SO beautiful. Not to mention, she was so much fun to talk to and spend time with on my wedding morning! She is so warm and friendly- we were all grateful to have her there with us. Penelope took safety/covid precautions seriously, which really helped everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the morning. I would also recommend the unique custom lipstick feature that Shimmer and Spice offers. After talking with Penelope about the shade I was hoping for, Kristyn was able to produce a gorgeous, high quality lipstick for me that I can now wear and remember our wedding day!

eir content showed how they showcase and optimize someone's natural beauty. I have fairish skin with freckles and each makeup artist listened when I said "Please don't cover them." I had to shift makeup artists 3 times since booking due to changing dates because of COVID-19 and because of some exposures. With all the changing I never once felt like I was being tossed around. Kristyn genuinely cares about all of her clients and I could not have felt more beautiful when I had the pleasure of having Penelope do my makeup day of. My bridal party would say the same with Megan. Both women were professional and kind and made sure we felt our best beautiful selves. I highly recommend Shimmer and Spice and can say without a doubt that Kristyn has a team of incredible makeup artists and you cannot go wrong with any of them!

ut the year. We ultimately decided to have a very small ceremony this year and postpone our larger reception until 2021. I didn't even end up having a makeup trial with things being so up in the air and looking back that could have ended up being really disastrous but thank god for Penelope! First of all, my entire experience with Shimmer & Spice was spectacular from communication to rescheduling to our actual wedding day. I got ready at home for my wedding, with just two close friends and Penelope- who truly ended up feeling like an old friend and brought such an amazing vibe to the day. And my makeup was just absolutely out of this world! With no trial to work with (sorry!), Penelope only had a picture and my description of how I wanted to look to go off of and she knocked it out of the park. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself, not some overly done up version, which was so important to me that day. I cannot overly stress how incredible Penelope was and Shimmer & Spice as a whole! I can't wait to work with them again in 2021!

azing!

accommodating and made me feel so much more at ease throughout the process. Maggie and Darian were with us on the day and everyone felt so beautiful and loved their makeup! I really can't rave about Shimmer and Spice enough. From my trial to the day of, Maggie made me feel so beautiful and confident. I'm so excited to work with her and the Shimmer and Spice team again next year for my reception!!

ural enhancement, that everyone still looked like themselves. I'm so happy to have found Shimmer & Spice! <3

a few inspo pics and she just completely got the vision of what I wanted for my wedding day! She has a way of making you feel so comfortable with her outgoing personality. My fiancé’s sisters and mom also loved Penelope’s work! I cannot say enough about not just Penelope but this amazing company! I almost want to find another reason to get all dolled up again.

ppointed! As someone who doesn't love to wear color on my lips, they nailed it! It was the perfect amount of sheer and pink.

ly recommended shimmer and spice!

looking for. We loved having her there while we were getting ready! It was a very hot & humid day and our makeup stayed on all evening!

much as a hiccup. I realized we had over 110 messages between each other between dates, venues, adding girls for makeup etc. They were incredibly helpful. On the day of the wedding, Maggie and Megan were amazing. Maggie did the makeup for both of the brides and exceeded expectations. Megan, according to our Gram, "made a miracle happen" with her makeup and also did makeup for our 8 year old diva niece. We are fortunate to have had a wonderful team on our wedding day. The 660 Collective vendors crushed it!!

th and made me and my bridesmaids feel stunning! My bridesmaids loved their makeup and it lasted so well throughout the night. Maggie did a perfect job giving me the natural look I was hoping for! Maggie and Megan were both very professional and took every precaution! I highly recommend Shimmer and Spice!!

e ever gotten. I am so thankful for Kristyn for doing our makeup. She made myself and my girls feel stunning. She was so professional and clean with all of her makeup, I can’t even thank her enough for everything she did.

I never felt like I had to worry about a thing. They had everything covered from creating a day of timeline to suggesting the perfect lip color . The day of my wedding, Maggie and Megan not only did amazing work on all of the girls, but were honestly so fun to hang out with! Wee have girls request all different types of makeup styles. From super glam to super natural to even makeup for my grandma's, they nailed it all and made us all feel beautiful! The makeup lasted all night long and looked flawless in pictures! I would 100% recommend Shimmer and Spice to anyone looking for the most beautiful, natural look makeup!

ne multiple times due to COVID. When I decided to have a smaller wedding during the pandemic, they were extremely professional and took every precaution.

n-law feel thrilled with their looks. I searched high and low for an artist that can really capture the "natural look" and Penelope nailed it. On top of their talent and expansive knowledge, Shimmer and Spice has excellent communication and safety standards during a pandemic. They're on top of their game: in beauty, in execution, and in making you and your dear ones feel like you belong on the September issue of Vogue.

e best version of themselves. They did an excellent job following all health and safety regulations with COVID and were very easy to work with!

lped our wedding day run that much smoother. Kristyn was great to work with on coordinating as well! Highly recommend Shimmer and Spice!

tagram, their natural but bohemian + edgy style attracted me. I had my trial with Penelope and I was blown away, I had never felt so confident in someone doing my makeup for my wedding day! My makeup made me look elegant on my wedding day, but I still looked casual enough for my city wedding in Philadelphia's hip-and-trendy neighborhood, Fishtown. Penelope took the time to learn about my wedding, my dress, the vibe and style I was going for, and she made me feel like my own kind of Princess. The process to book Shimmer & Spice with the owner Kristyn was also extremely seamless. Highly recommend Shimmer & Spice for any event or wedding!

would 100% recommend working with Kristyn and her talented team for your wedding day!

r what she was going to make me and my girls look beautiful. Maggie is such a kind and funny person and is such an incredible makeup artist she made the whole process totally stress free! From her doing my hair/makeup for my engagement shoot, to her doing me and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding, it is as if your best friend is doing your makeup. She is so skilled and is able to give you that bridal glow every bride dreams of! I also ordered the custom lipstick and it is amazing! The color is perfect and looks really nice with pale complexion. Shimmer and Spice was suggested to me by my photographer (Haley Richter) and it was one of the best suggestions I received! Thank you for everything!

lope and Darian were our make-up artists for the day, and Penelope did my make-up. In addition to being extremely talented, Penelope was wonderful to work with. Our initial trial was great. She was so receptive and open to what I wanted, and made sure I was perfectly happy with my look. On the day of she helped me calm my nerves by being upbeat, friendly and positive. She also kept us right on schedule while still building in some extra time for touch ups before leaving. I would highly recommend hiring Shimmer and Spice!!

ch a talented makeup artist. I am not a big makeup person, but after working with Penelope I totally see how it makes ALL the difference in how you feel!! She was able to keep it natural for my preference but glammed it up a little and so happy we did!! Her honesty and experience really made the rushed morning we had so much better! We all loved her so much and she was such a warm presence in our group. Would absolutely recommend Penelope and Shimmer and Spice for future brides!!

ts are unmatched. Kristyn and her team are the epitome of professionalism, and I can say with certainty that she made us all feel the most beautiful we ever have. We love you, Kristyn, and we thank you for being the best honorary bridesmaid. I could seriously go on forever, but all in all, choosing Shimmer and Spice as our wedding makeup was the best decision I have ever made... and I would choose them over and over again. Cannot wait for the vow renewal lol - let's get planning! xx, Emily and Ryan

ional and informative. I knew from her Instagram her style was exactly what I wanted and was so natural looking. On the actual wedding day Kristyn was so sick but still came and did my make up and made sure it was absolutely perfect. Every single one of my bridesmaids said it was the prettiest they’ve ever felt. My wedding was 3 months ago and we still talk about how amazing Kristyn and Shimmer and Spice are. Cannot recommend them enough!!!!!

to provide touch-ups to the full wedding party before leaving. Everyone looked beautiful and the look lasted the full night! As someone who wanted a more natural look for their wedding day, I highly recommend.

ember my big day. I got extremely lucky when I booked Shimmer & Spice. My original MUA had to back out and they were reasonably priced. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

of us; even with the younger girl she made her beautiful but not overly made-up. It was perfect. For my makeup, she did a natural look that fit me perfectly. She remembered all of the changes we made at the trial and my makeup on day of looked amazing and lasted ALL DAY. I cannot thank her enough!! I would recommend her to anyone for their special occasion.

making that so enjoyable! She made sure that everything was just how I wanted it and that I felt confident! I highly recommend their services!

ith their look. Getting ready was fun, relaxing and that really can be attributed to Kristyn's wonderful attitude! I felt so beautiful (but still myself) on my wedding day.

nd you will see wedding after wedding of beautiful, natural makeup. Kristyn and her team of artists are so kind and welcoming. By the end of the day, the bridesmaids and artists are chit-chatting like old friends. It is so convenient having the makeup team come right to the space where you are getting ready and not having to worry about going to a salon. Leading up to the wedding, you go to their beautiful studio for a trial, where Kristyn made me feel so comfortable telling her what I liked or wanted to change in the look. She even made me a custom lip color that I could use on the big day to reapply after the team had left. Kristyn sent me a questionnaire that she used to make a timeline for the day and made sure all the logistics would run smoothly. She communicated often and responded quickly to any questions I had. We were also able to add-on and adjust things in our contract leading up to the big day. She was very honest and open about everything and I would happily work with her again! I recommend Shimmer and Spice to any bride looking for beautiful, natural makeup that enhances your natural beauty for your big day!

responsive, my trial with Maggie went great - she is so talented, able to do what you want but also make great suggestions. On our wedding day, Maggie did my make up as well as my mom and bridesmaids, the high temperature for that day was 97 degrees, and she was outstanding! She was on time, professional, patient, easy to work with and most importantly AWESOME at doing makeup. Everyone looked beautiful. My mom looked the exact same at the end of the night, still beautiful and radiant and she was the first person that day to have her make up done. Even after midnight and walking outside to join some of our guests for post wedding drinks they were telling me my make up still looked amazing. All I needed was blotting tissues and at one point a touch up with concealer under my eyes - which amazing considering the weather that day and how much I danced. I would recommend Shimmer and Spice to anyone and wish I had more excuses to have professional make up done.

rgeous. I was thrilled with my own makeup and how they were able to add just enough makeup to make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your big day. They were such a pleasure to work with! Thank you for everything Shimmer + Spice team!

keup I have ever gotten, and thankfully, it was for my own wedding :) Maggie was an absolute sweetheart and created a natural and elegant look for my bridal makeup. She listened to everything I had concerns about and tweaked things I wanted adjusted for my trial and wedding day-- and the end result was stunning. On top of that, my makeup looked flawless (on an 85 degree Philadelphia day with pictures outside), even at 3 am during the after party. My bridesmaids and Mothers were even more impressed by their makeup for the wedding-- all around, you won't be disappointed. I would rate 10 stars out of 5-- THANK YOU again Shimmer & Spice for helping make my wedding day a dream!

ade a great suggestion. Her time management was great. She was ahead of schedule on all the girls and had plenty of time to do touch ups on all of us. Penelope had great energy and was a big stress reliever on how well she handled all of us girls. I highly recommend Shimmer and Spice for your wedding day!

ke myself, but glowing, and didn't want to look like a stranger on my wedding day, and (3) my twin was my maid-of-honor and I wanted to stand out from her. But my worries washed away once I worked with Penelope. I truly felt like a glowing bride. She nailed my skin tone, the eyeliner (so that my eyes were the right shape!) and even though my twin looked gorgeous, Penelope made sure my makeup was a shimmering bridal look that was not over-done. And I was SHOCKED how my makeup stayed after I was a crying mess at my ceremony. Amazing. Thanks Penelope and Shimmer & Spice, it was perfect :)

to being a highly skilled makeup artist, she is also a lovely person and fun to hang out with! On the day of my wedding, she was right on time and did a fantastic job with me and my bridesmaids (and shout out to Maggie, the other wonderful makeup artist from Shimmer & Spice!). Kristyn also made me a custom lip color that I wore on my wedding day (and still love and use!). I highly recommend Kristyn and the team at Shimmer & Spice.

rofessionally a few times before and hadn't loved either look, since I didn't think I looked like me. But after working with Maggie, I wish she could do my makeup every single day! At my trial, she figured out what would work best for me, including a lipstick which I went out and bought later that day, and the right false lashes to make the whole look come together. I felt totally calm and confident on my wedding day, and Maggie created a beautiful look that lasted the entire day and evening. I felt like myself but even more festive--and the makeup photographed absolutely beautifully, which is so important! Choosing wedding vendors takes a lot of research and trust. I couldn't be happier to have worked with Shimmer & Spice, and with Maggie. I'm so glad she was part of my wedding day.

s unquestionable. I loved it, and I have great pictures to prove it! Maggie and team made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful and confident on one of the most amazing days of my life!

y wedding day and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted to look like the best version of myself and she did just that. On my wedding day I had myself, 6 bridesmaids and both moms and everyone loved how they looked! I am forever grateful for having such an amazing makeup team on my big day. How I felt and looked, it was priceless!

ing to know me as a person- who I was, what do I do, how I normally wear my makeup, etc. Through that, she was able to look at my inspo pictures and give suggestions on what I might like. During the trial, she was patient with me and was willing to make changes based on my feedback to create the perfect look. I had my engagement pictures taken the same day so we were able to see how the look photographed and I was able to send additional feedback after the trial based on how the makeup lasted throughout our photo session. On the day of our wedding, Kristyn and her assistant, Penelope, were amazing. They were fun to chat with, nailed the looks both me and my bridal party wanted, and were overall fantastic. Kristyn also makes her own lip product so I was able to order custom lip colors for me and my girls to add to their bridesmaid gift so they can remember our wedding every time they wear their lip color. It was a GREAT touch! As a fellow wedding vendor, I would HIGHLY recommend Kristyn and her team!

ing day and incorporated my ideas while also giving me advice. The moms looked great and there was no cakey makeup even on more mature skin. My makeup was still perfect 12+ hours later, and it looks amazing in the photos. Maggie is calm, friendly, and prepared. She was great to chat with while I was getting ready for the wedding. Kristyn was really helpful in answering my initial questions and scheduling a makeup & hair trial.

ven made me my own lipstick color that I used for touchups throughout the night( definitely do this)! I highly recommend this team!

on't wear much make-up and was worried I wouldn't be able to communicate my "vision" for the day well. I was also afraid of looking pornstar-ish with a bunch of caked-on make-up. Kristyn did an amazing job of making me feel super glamorous and gorgeous but still like myself. She did a great job with my mom and bridesmaids too, and was nice, sweet calming presence on the big day. My make-up lasted from before the Church ceremony through the afterparty, and what remained looked decent at breakfast! Overall - very professional, talented, organized, and responsive!

go check her out!). She is so talented that literally everyone she touches looks like the best version of themselves, without looking overdone. Kristyn did my makeup a total of three times, with looks ranging from every day makeup for my engagement photos to natural glam for my wedding. I couldn’t believe how perfectly Kristyn did my makeup each time—this is coming from someone who always feels like I have to “tone down” my makeup when I have it done professionally. Kristyn is such a warm and engaging person, and you immediately feel comfortable when you meet her! I think one of Kristyn’s best attributes is how closely she listens to her clients and how she works to address each individual’s need. From the first time she did my makeup, Kristyn really took her time getting to know my typical routine and any problem areas I was concerned about (for example, I have combination skin, and I have a tough time getting my makeup to last more than a few hours). Kristyn recommended airbrushed makeup, and my makeup stayed on from noon-3:00am, even lasting through some late-night karaoke after the wedding! Kristyn was a professional and calming presence the day of the wedding, and my whole wedding party felt at ease with her. My sister, mom, and mother-in-law all raved about their makeup! Even my mom, who normally hates wearing makeup ended up having lashes added because she felt like they looked very natural—Kristyn is that good! I couldn’t have imagined working with anyone else for our wedding. I would highly recommend Kristyn to any bride who wants to look like the best version of herself on her wedding day!

d to me patiently while I tried to describe the look I was going for ("I want to look like me, but better. But not overdone. But still like a bride. But not too much foundation, or eyeshadow"....) Eventually I gave up and trusted Mark to do his thing, and I couldn't have been happier with the way everything turned out. Mark and Maggie are so talented - my whole bridal party looked stunning all day and night. It was a bonus that they were so sweet and fun to have around the morning of my wedding. Kristyn and her team are the real deal - super professional and talented, but also warm, friendly and easy to work with. Basically, everything you want in a wedding vendor. Highly recommend!!!

her. I was impressed by the question she asked – my makeup routine, how I normally do my eyeliner, what products I may be sensitive to. She takes notes on this, along with the products/colors she uses throughout the trial. On the actual wedding day – she was a joy to have around. She was first to arrive and put my bride jitters at ease. I admired how well she got along with the various personalities in the room – my serious mom, my laid back sisters, my 7-yr old flower girls and my loud/animated childhood best friend. All required their own unique makeup “look” and she crushed it. When it was my turn, Kristyn had all the notes and pictures from our trial ready. As a bride, having the right makeup artist is such an important aspect of the day – I was relaxed and felt like I was in good hands as soon as I took my makeup seat. More importantly, I felt beautiful walking down the aisle – received many compliments, especially from the groom who appreciated how much I looked like myself, only ‘fancier’. We had a rainy wedding day, where we still attempted to take some photos outside – my makeup stayed in place through our outdoor, indoor & late-night celebrations :)

were worried about how they’d look on the day of and they were overjoyed. She also offers a unique service of creating a custom lipstick so that you can retouch throughout the night, which all 3 of us decided to do and loved. I would highly recommend using Shimmer and Spice anytime you want to look extra fantastic!
