When looking for a makeup artist, I had two friends (who don't know each other) both highly recommend Shimmer & Spice so I decided to use them as well. Shimmer & Spice is reasonably priced and was great to work with! Darian was my makeup artist...

Best experience with Kristyn, Rhonda, and Emmarie. I didn't have time to do a wedding trial and thought their make-up services were amazing. They were super easy to work with and extremely accommodating! We had so much fun with their team.

Shimmer & Spice was an amazing company to work with from the beginning of the booking process all the way through my wedding day. Booking was incredibly responsive and efficient. The moment I did my make-up trial with Darian, I felt completely ...

She was absolutely wonderful with all of the my wedding party, and we all could not have been more pleased with the final outcome. I have never felt more beautiful thanks to Darian and the entire team at Shimmer & Spice. If you are getting married, don't think twice! Book them!

We loved working with Shimmer & Spice for our wedding day! Darian and Hailey did such a wonderful job doing the makeup for me and my group of 10 bridesmaids/mothers. They were reliable, on schedule, and most importantly very considerate of what...
look each girl was going for. I did my bridal makeup trial with Darian for my shower and she was fantastic in making some minor adjustments from then to the makeup for my wedding day.

or to the wedding, they sent a customized day-of-timeline and efficiently stuck to it on the day. We never felt rushed or stressed.

Three days to the wedding, I decided to completely change my bridal look and she didn't blink an eye. My makeup looked flawless on the day-of - even better than the trial! I seriously couldn't get over how glowy yet natural my face looked. And the makeup held up throughout the day, even after massive amounts of (happy) crying and sweating. I would highly recommend S&S for your wedding day!

THE. BEST. I had the pleasure of using Shimmer and Spice when I was a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding in September 2016. Fast forward to 2020–I reached out to Kristyn March of 2020 for our originally planned wedding in October 2020, but ...
because of Covid, we rescheduled for October 2021. If there is anything I’ve learned about the wedding planning process, it's how vendors handled Covid weddings, and Kristyn did not disappoint. She was flexible and understanding from the beginning. Not only was it such a stress-free process during such an uncertain time, but the end result was AMAZING. Kristyn has an amazing team–we were lucky enough to have Penelope and Darian for our day. It was a relaxing morning getting ready with them while listening to 90’s pop hits and everyone singing along–which was much needed with pre-wedding jitters. Penelope and Darian are true artists. They really made everyone LOOK and FEEL beautiful that day. Everyone (moms, bridesmaids and myself) could not stop raving about their work. Penelope slayed the glam look I was going for and it truly pulled my whole look together. My make-up was flawless the ENTIRE day. Do yourself a favor and book with Shimmer and Spice. I promise, they will not disappoint.

She brought along Brittany, who was equally as amazing! My bridal party, mother, and mother in law all couldn't stop raving about this dynamic duo.

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!

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.

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.

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!

I was in straight panic mode when I booked my trial with Mark just a few weeks before I walked down the aisle (!!!). I don't wear a lot of makeup on the reg and was adamant about having natural look. Mark immediately put me at ease and listene...
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!!!

If you are planning a wedding and get to hire Shimmer & Spice for makeup – consider yourself lucky, you are in good hands. Kristyn is an amazing soul and truly talented artist. Kristyn’s talent shines through from the moment you do a trial with...
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 :)

Kristyn was absolutely fantastic. Not only does she know her stuff when it comes to make-up, but she’s really easy to chat with and can immediately understand the look you are going for. I took my mother and mother-in-law for a trial since they...
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!
