d church and even the heat couldn't take our makeup off. We received so many compliments. She was amazing! Even at my trial Jessica took her time to make sure that I was happy with everything. I HIGHLY recommend her.

utiful but still felt like myself. She really listened to what I wanted and recommended a few things I wasn't sure of but I trusted her and it added so much to my look. I have never felt prettier in my life! In addition, every single one of my bridesmaids loved their makeup!

he went above and beyond on everything. I can't wait to have another event to use her again.

sation. On the wedding day, Jessica showed up on time and worked with myself and the bridesmaids individually to help achieve to look we all wanted. It was a pleasure working with Jessica, Highly recommend!

that she was the makeup artist that I wanted for my wedding. Fortunately, Jessica was available on my wedding date and was able to schedule a trial within weeks from our initial conversation. I do not wear heavy makeup at all and wanted a natural look but still wanted to be a bit "done up" given that it was my wedding. When I met with Jessica, I brought in inspiration pictures, and she captured exactly the look I wanted. I could not have been more happy with how my makeup came out for our wedding. Additionally, my bridesmaids all of which were of different skin tones, are still raving about Jessica and how beautiful they felt after getting their makeup done. We have all been in multiple weddings and all agree that Jessica is the best makeup artist that we have worked with. It is very difficult to find someone that can understand the nuances of working with different skin tones. I wish Jessica lived closer to the city, so that I can use her for every event I have. I highly recommend working with Jessica, and booking quickly as she does tend to book up far in advance.

comfortable and nailed my makeup as well as my bridesmaid and mom! Even our guests were complimenting how amazing our makeup looked!! It makes such a big difference when you find someone who truly listens and even surpasses all your expectations!! Jessica is amazing and her work will blow you away!!

d planned, Jessica was the picture of professionalism. She is organized, efficient, and able to clearly convey important information. Jessica was also very attuned to my desires and made my vision become a reality. I felt so calm in her capable hands, because I knew everything would turn out the way I wanted! I simply cannot recommend Jessica enough. She loves what she does and this shows through in her talent and professionalism. Book her!

day. I wanted makeup that was soft and romantic and still made me look like myself. She really took the time to listen to what I envisioned, even looking at a few inspiration pictures, and really nailed it. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and all my bridesmaids looked gorgeous -- and they couldn't stop talking about how great Jessica is! As a bonus, she's also super sweet and relaxed, which is great to have around on your wedding day which can get pretty crazy!

cations that were both cohesive as a bridal party, but still tailored to our own specific style. We are still getting compliments on our makeup almost six months later, and I doubt that will change anytime soon! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Jessica. If I could hire her as my personal makeup artist, I absolutely would!

l, and intuitive she is. You can show her a picture, or tell her what you're thinking and she creates beauty! I can not say enough amazing things about her, I recommend her for ANY event you want to look fabulous for! Thank you so much! Sara 8/5/17

at in my very first trial. She's professional, timely, communicative, organized, and came well-recommended by other vendors in the area.

nhance my features without making me feel like I had too much on. All of the wedding party enjoyed chatting with them. The timing for everyone worked out well and we all are happy customers!

ell! Jessica is so super talented and did exactly what I asked her to! My wedding day makeup was everything I wanted but didn't know how to describe, she read my mind!!!! And to top it all off, Jessica is an absolute sweetheart!

ng for. I was extremely happy with the final result and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Jessica to friends.

s, but Jessica's knowledge and experience put me at ease from the first minute I was in her chair for my trial. I would highly recommend simply beauty to all brides and Bridal parties. She took my vision and made it more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. She took her time to make sure everyone including my flower girl was happy. She even was able to supply my bridal crew with lipsticks!! My make-up lasted my entire wedding and my guests are still talking about how amazing my make up was. I hope to be able to use Jessica for upcoming events.

ge and LOVED her work! She then sent me her pricing list which was perfect for my bridesmaids. Her work was flawless and everyone loved her. I also had her do my eyelash extensions in her home studio, two days before the wedding. She is very quick and precise with her work. Her home studio is gorgeous, and she was so friendly and fun to work with. I would hands down refer her to anyone that gets married in the NY area! Thank you Jessica!!!

nty of time for photos before the ceremony. Thank you, again and again, Jess! <3

ssica from Simply Elegant Beauty to do my makeup along with my bridal party. My worries were laid to rest at my trial. Jessica was friendly, attentive to my wants and clearly more than capable. She is extremely talented and organized. I looked like the beautiful bride I had envisioned and my makeup lasted all night long. I highly recommend her and feel very grateful to have chosen Jessica to be a part of my special day.

t my usual beauty routine and set up a trial. She listened to everything I wanted and totally delivered. Jessica is super sweet and clearly knows what she is doing. On my wedding day my makeup was done perfectly. It looked exactly how it looked at the trial and I couldn’t have been happier. In addition to my makeup looking great, it lasted all day and night. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking to have makeup done for any occasion!

nt to her for regular facials up until my wedding. I had her do my makeup for my bridal shower, lash extensions for my wedding, and of course on my wedding day. She really listens to what you want and what you are comfortable with. She did my mother's makeup for my wedding who was hesitant and nervous, but Jessica made my mom look stunning and my mom loved it. I am definitely calling Jessica for my next special event!

de me look perfect. I highly recommend her for your next event! Xo

hair stylist so I could see everything put together. She listened to what I wanted and made suggestions that were on point. Jessica did not just my make-up but 6 bridesmaids and 2 moms and everyone looked stunning. Jessica even fit my sister in last minute which was a life saver. Jessica is insanely talented and truly one of the sweetest, most genuine people I have ever met. She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt and I would absolutely go to her for any of my makeup needs in the future.

to make you comfortable and fabulous at the same time! She came recommended to me through my sister-in law who used her for her wedding, and I hope I can recommend her the same way through this review to someone else! Her prices are very reasonable and she is flexible to get the job done perfectly. Thank you Jessica!

nly did Jessica make us all beautiful, but she was a pleasure to be around during the process. Even though she had another obligation the day of my wedding, she never rushed any of us. She was professional and incredibly sweet. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants to be the most beautiful they've ever been on their wedding day.

as soon as I met America, my nerves calmed down. She is so down to earth & welcoming! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her work, too! She asked me what I preferred & made a few suggestions to help. She gave me the exact look I was going for, for my wedding day. I also did not have to touch up a thing the entire day/night! (Make up finished around 11am & ceremony wasn't until 5:30pm.) America also did make up for my mother & 7 bridesmaids. Everyone was very happy. Prices were good as well, especially for the service that was provided. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the services of Simply Elegant Beauty! I'm still getting so many compliments about my wedding day & make up. (Wedding was July 8, 2016.) America did a fantastic job, but I still looked like, "Me."

p artist. Thank you Jessica!

own out of the water. Jessica's studio is cosy, CLEAN and inviting. Jessica was booked that day, so she had one of her make up artists, America, do my trial and it was a great experience. They listened to what I said, looked at the pictures I brought, and gave me advice (i didn't really know what i wanted except that I wanted it to be natural). Even though Jessica would not be doing my makeup, she stayed for the whole thing and gave her input and guidance as needed. That was huge for me - it showed her professionalism that she cared and wanted the best for me even though she wasn't doing it herself. On the day of the wedding, America was on time, super friendly and easy going. Her makeup skills are flawless. She does not rush at all, but manages to keep everyone on schedule at the same time. For someone who doesn't wear makeup regularly, I was a little nervous that I'd feel over done. But it was perfect. America understood that and made me feel beautiful and like myself. Finally, I should mention that my mother was so thrilled with her make up - and that is no easy feat! Like me, she never wears makeup so she was a little nervous too. She looked beautiful and she was so happy! Thank you America and Jessica for being awesome and making everyone look great and feel comfortable!

ted my make up! Jessica is very versatile as well. I had a large group with varying ages and styles. Every single person was thrilled!! I can't thank her enough for helping make my special day perfect!

rsonal style/comfort level. She was able to make me look great without looking completely different from my regular self. Makeup lasted all day and night even at an outdoor summer wedding!! Her skill and professionalism are completely unbeatable. Highly recommend her to make you look and feel beautiful for your special day!

Jess took her time with each person and created the most beautiful looks for everyone! She is so extremely talented and knows what looks will flatter her clients! I never felt so beautiful in my life than she made me feel on my wedding day! If you are looking for a makeup artist, Jess if your girl!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

nd she has such patience for us crazy brides! Love her! I recommend her highly!

ul. She is so organized and kept us on schedule so that we were on time for photos. I enjoyed working with her so much and I would recommend her to anyone! Jessica exceeded all of my expectations and I was truly lucky to have her for my wedding day.

stening to exactly what you want and making it even better in real life. Having Jessica there to do all of our make up really made it a stress free morning because we knew we would all look fabulous! I know that in the future I will be using Jessica for many more events and I will recommend her to anyone!!

ths before my wedding and it was stunning I couldn't believe how a natural and beautiful it really looked! The big day finally came and Jessica was able to duplicate exactly what she had done in my trial my make up stayed looking amazing all night! Thank you so much for making me and all the beautiful women in my party look absolutely stunning !

I received SO MANY compliments on how natural and beautiful my make up was and it lasted ALL DAY & ALL NIGHT! My photographer couldn't believe it... I can not thank her enough! You will be so happy you booked with Jessica!

akes the time to hear what you want done and she is able to deliver! I would highly recommend her for all makeup needs and I've continued to recommend her to friends of mine getting married. I would absolutely book Jessica again!

ould highly recommend her services to anyone! She's the best!

look like stunners. I had hired another local makeup artist for a wedding I had attended as a guest (before I heard about Jessica) and I have to tell you - i was not impressed. I was not entirely disappointed but I now know what it is to be beyond thrilled with a phenomenal artist's work.

rly for the wedding! She did make up for myself along with 4 bridesmaids and my mother and everyone looked flawless! Everyone had specific (also, picky) requests as far as how they wanted to look (natural, glamorous, bold eyes etc) and she accommodated all of them. We all got eyelashes and they were beautiful too. Everyone in the bridal party raved about how much they loved her, and we got endless compliments from guests on our makeup! The short and sweet of it is: If you want someone professional, friendly, efficient and reasonably priced to do your makeup, contact Jessica NOW! There is so much pressure when looking for vendors, but I promise, you won't regret hiring Jessica!

!

also made my make up look so naturel!! Not fake looking everyone commented on my make up and asked me who did it what amazing job she did I was so happy to have so many people tell me beautiful it looked ! I definitely would recommend her !!!

ect.. She is so friendly, easy to talk to, sweet, and most of all such an artist! I got my make-up done by her for the trial, my wedding day, and most recently as a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding (who also booked her); each time she made me feel like a princess! She has a way of being able to accent your natural features to make you look amazing, I couldn't recommend her enough!!

p she did for me and my bridesmaids was perfect and exactly what I wanted. It was how I pictured it to be in my head. She is really a sweet girl and any bride to be should consider her for their bridal makeup!!!

looked truly beautiful!!! Right from the start I loved Jess and knew she would be the one I trusted and chose to make me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day - she was so easy to work with and one the friendliest people I have ever met. I actually had two trials w/ Jessica and only because I could not decide which look I had wanted to go with but both were amazing. I also went for a microderm and hydration facial 2 weeks before the big day - my skin never looked or felt so good! I highly recommend her to any bride and I myself plan to use her in the future. Thank you again Jessica!!!

pressed with her from the start. My girls, my mom and I all got our makeup done by Jessica and I have to say that everyone looked amazing. Everyone looked like themselves but more enhanced and more elegant! It was very important to me that I looked like myself on my wedding day and Jessica heard that and made that happen. I kept receiving compliments all night and I felt so confident knowing that Jessica had made me look my best.

I had worked with her for one of my best friend’s weddings last July and when I got engaged I KNEW that I had to call her to see if she was available for my wedding. Both times I worked with her she did an absolutely fantastic job with everyone’s make up! The first wedding that I was in had 12 bridesmaids and every single one of them was very happy with their make up – which is no small feat especially with a bunch of NYC girls. When I worked with her for my wedding she once again absolutely knocked it out of the park. Everyone absolutely loved their make up, especially me. My bridesmaids were not used to wearing a ton of make up so she made them just look like the most naturally beautiful version of themselves which was perfect. She did my mother and mother in laws make up – which is also very difficult because they have no idea what they want and she did such an excellent job – I have never seen my mother look so beautiful! As for my makeup, she worked with me at the trial and then we took a little different route for the wedding, which I was absolutely pleased with! I felt beautiful and the best version of myself all day – which is all you can ask for. As for her demeanor Jessica is so sweet and friendly that you feel like your chatting with your best friend while getting your make up done so it makes you feel at ease on your wedding day! I absolutely recommend her for weddings – and actually was talking to her and were going to work together on some facials and getting my skin cleared up! Love love loved working with her!

me like a ton of bricks: how am I going to look beautiful on the biggest day of my life with skin like mine? I had a gorgeous dress, yet I found myself in tears wondering if I could wear my veil’s blusher throughout the reception to hide my face. So many of us suffer from adult acne, and mine is stress-induced, so planning a wedding wasn’t exactly going to be kind on my skin. I did a little research, and after reading and hearing so many positive reviews about Simply Elegant Beauty, I decided to give Jessica a call. She set up a complimentary consultation immediately. We met at a local Starbucks (my comfort zone) and had a conversation I had been dreading due to embarrassment. Within seconds, I was at ease and in full-flow of questioning. She answered each one of my questions as I took notes. She educated me about different professional treatments available (which I ended up booking with her, as she is a licensed esthetician!), what types of products I should use and how to use them for my skin, and finally, how regardless my skin ended up looking, she would be able to use her high-end quality makeup to transform me into the flawless bride I was dreaming of. Here is the plan we came up with together: -a few, alternating facials and microdermabrasion -proper facial cleansers for my face -proper exfoliators -proper moisturizers -proper spot treatments—tea tree oil is my new best friend -de-stress by purposefully finding the time to do so -drink TONS of water and herbal tea -makeup trial This brings me to the next awesome part of my experience with Jessica: my makeup trial. She came right to my house to do my makeup trial, and after showing her a few pictures of the “look” I was going for, she hopped right to it! Afterword, I felt and looked amazing. It was exactly what I wanted: a dewy, fresh-yet-sexy look with lightly bronzed smokey eyes that made my blue eyes pop! (I am no makeup artist, but that was the description I gave her lol!) The next few months leading up to the big day, I visited her for facials and micro, where she would also provide me with more skincare advice that totally worked every time. **THIS WAS AWESOME. If you book Jessica for makeup and want facials too, book the facials with her—nobody needs to know your skin as much as your makeup artist, and by the time your big day comes, she will know it inside and out. Literally! My wedding day, Jessica arrived on-time and ready to go at 6:30AM at the hotel I was staying at. She took her time on every inch of my face, and because she did my eyes before my face makeup, I was able to see what I looked like before concealer and foundation. I cried a little when I actually felt that I barely needed any! Obviously I did for pictures, but it gave me hope for honeymooning in the Caribbean without makeup! Phew! I can honestly say that I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and it was because of Jessica’s skilled art in makeup application, and because of how Jessica’s easy-going, positive persona made me feel on the inside. I was relaxed as I was driven to my ceremony, in a state of complete joy and bliss—a feeling every bride should have.

onal and accommodated all my relatives that had their make-up done that day. She is super pleasant to be around and knows how to steer you towards the right look if you are like me and just wanted something pretty and natural. She is amazing and takes care of her brides! Thanks Jessica :)

ss gave her the most beautiful natural look and she was in love with it! Every single one of my bridesmaids and my mother loved their make-up! Jess takes the time to listen to what you want and then does your make-up accordingly. My own make-up was amazing. During my wedding, so many of our guests commented specifically on my how beautiful I looked! Jess does an amazing job and you can not go wrong with her!

ide to be and am so happy to share with others how grateful I am. If a bride every needs to speak to a former client, please send them my way. Thank you again. Jayleen

dding went Great! Loved my Pictures. Thank You Jessica!

work she is honest and comes up with a better solution! Jessica has a great knowledge of skincare products and makeup which really helped get my skin looking the best it possibly could for my wedding day. Her calm and sweet disposition was so comforting, especially during the hectic process of getting ready. Take my advice...book a trial with her, book a few skincare appointments with her and book her for your wedding day!

ng married in November as well!

reate the look I wanted. My makeup turned out perfect!!! Jessica also did my mom's makeup the day of--without a trial. My mom also had a mark on her eye--that Jessica no only covered up but made it still look natural. My mom was so worried but as soon as Jessica finished she was not only relieved that her eye looked okay--she felt beautiful!!! I highly recommend Jessica to work with you on your special day.

n, I was blown away afterwards. I have never had airbrush or contouring done before and i felt like such a movie star. I of course hired Jessica for my wedding, and she did an amazing job! All my girls looked beautiful and their natural beauty was just enhanced by Jessica's beautiful work. My mom who has never had any professional makeup done looked better than ever, no words could describe how happy i was with everyone's look as well as own. I felt like a princess and my makeup lasted all day and all night and into the next day. The lashes lasted 3 days before they fell off, so my glamorous look lasted for a while even after the wedding. Jessica was on time and worked so well in our tiny hotel room. Her assistant also did a great job. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone, shes the best!!! <3

e look tired. I also have really bad pigmentation issues. However, Jessica was able to cover up all my imperfections and make it look natural. Jessica is not only extremely talented with her profession, but she possesses such a caring, warming kindness that makes you feel really comfortable. Her prices are fair and she made sure I was completely satisfied with my make up. I will recommend Jessica to any new bride to be, she's simply the best!

azy nerves and got me thru my morning!! She is efficient, hard working, totally honest and a pleasure to have worked with!! Thank you Jess for everything!

highly recommend her!

afraid of makeup and super glam. She listened and studied the pictures I brought to her and took time and care with my trial. The day of the wedding she knew exactly how to bring it to the next level. I loved my look! Jessica rocks!

day and she was very accommodating to my needs and helpful in making my bridal look come to life. I decided to go with the light coverage airbrush and heavy lashes. the On the day of she came to my hotel with an assistant who was excellent! They did 2 maids of honors, 6 bridesmaids, 2 moms and myself all in less than 7 hours, and they all looked gorgeous! I LOVED my look which stayed on all day, I also tend to be oily and I really was not that day, even after all the dancing. Very affordable pricing too, some wanted less make-up more natural and other wants more glam, with lashes. Overall I would highly recommend Simply Elegant Beauty!

ing to your schedule and will go above and beyond. Everyone in my wedding party loved their makeup! Including my mom who was leery with wearing too much make up. I also had Jessica for my boudoir photo shoot , prior to my wedding day experience which came out absolutely amazing thanks to her! She was able to understand my vision for dramatic yet elegant, rather than plain or simple. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to the next bride or just for fun of a photo shoot! She also is VERY affordable !! Thanks Jessica for everything , you were wonderful !!

natural – everyone looked like the best versions of themselves. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any occasion.

ay and spoke highly of Jessica's punctuality and professionalism. Jessica came to my home for the trial, which was a god sent, since I had been running all over the place to prepare for my wedding. I was extremely pleased with Jessica's work. My wedding day was a fairytale and I looked stunning, thanks to Jessica. I would Highly recommend Jessica to all my friends and family. I plan to use her for any special occasions in the future as well.

ble to work well with children was a must. I couldn't have been more pleased, and the girls surely felt like princesses as I saw their eyes light up with joy as Jessica turned the mirror to them, to show them the care she put into her hard work at making them feel beautiful. I was over the moon with all of her talented work!!!

with the leading months and days to my big day. Between me and my bridal party we were so pleased with the work that Jessica did! She made us all feel beautiful, especially me! I couldn't help but look at myself in the mirror for the rest of the day because I was so happy with how everything turned out. By the end of the night my guests could not believe that my makeup was still as beautiful as it was from that morning. With just a little touch up of lipstick and blush at one point during the night it was perfect. ( And through Jessica I purchased the lipstick and blush so that I could touch up the makeup if needed). I would highly recommend Jessica as your makeup artist for any occasion you want to feel your best and beautiful at. I could not thank her enough for what she did for me and my girls on my wedding day!!!

l I was happy. She even told me she wanted to make sure I was in love with how I looked, and I was in love. She was sweet from the moment I talked to her, got back to me with every question very quickly. She made sure each of us felt special on that day. I couldn't of been happier with Jessica, she is truly great at what she does!!

e that everyone was happy with their look. I can not recommend her enough! Give her a call, you will NOT be disappointed! - Laura

still needed someone for hair, but her prices were totally reasonable and she was so sweet, professional, and accomodating about finding a weekend and time that worked well despite my living in the city. I sent her my pinterest board of inspirational photos and some photos of myself ahead of time, and when I arrived to her beautiful home studio today it was so clear that she had spent time really reviewing what I liked and thinking about what would look great on me. The make up she did was beautiful. I looked like the most flawless version of myself and couldn't be happier or more excited for my wedding day - I booked her on the spot! If you are a bride in the NYC or Hudson Valley area, I strongly suggest you call Jessica!

ted it to get a bit crazy with multiple people in such a small space as we were getting ready i.e hair/photographer but it never did she was very professional & worked well with the other vendors. During the make-up application she was extremely considerate at each step of the way to get my input. I brought pictures that she used to get ideas with which I would recommend. With the pictures, my input and faith in her recommendations my make-up turned out better than I could have even imagined. The pictures turned out great, no glare or runny make-up. She had left me with some lip gloss which she had customized. She was even able to talk my mom into getting make-up and doing a light, natural look for her that was so beautiful. I would highly recommend Jessica and would use her again in a heartbeat!
