I will start off by saying that I have NEVER liked any professional makeup I've had done; so, naturally, I was dreading getting my makeup done for my wedding. Then I met Stacie. She is out of this world incredible! I am in love with her work! D...
uring my trial, Stacie took the time to listen to me and really get a sense of my style, who I am and what type of look I was going for. She asked to see pictures of my dress and went to work. The look she created was out of this world amazing. She took what I had wanted and gave it some edge (with my permission) to really go with my dress. It was like a stunning work of art. On my wedding day, Stacie did the makeup for my mom, my 3 bridesmaids and me. She arrived just before scheduled and made sure she was set up and ready to go at our agreed upon start time. She transitioned seamlessly from person to person and kept us on schedule. I think this is so important in someone who you're entrusting on such a special day. I never once had to look at the time because I knew I could count on Stacie to do her job and I did not have to worry about anything she was in charge of. She took her time, never rushed and made us all look incredible. I have never felt so beautiful in my life (and this is pre-hair and pre-dress). The makeup was flawless! For both my mom and I to love our makeup is saying a lot. I will be the first to admit that when it comes to this department we are not easy to please but surprisingly, with Stacie we were just that! My mom and I will 100% use Stacie again for any major events that require makeup. She is so passionate and good at what she does that I have full confidence that the next time I go, I'll just show her what I'm wearing and let her do her thing. She is punctual, dependable, easily reached, and so incredibly warm and friendly. She made everyone so happy and comfortable that morning. Love love loved working with Stacie and cannot say enough amazing things about her!! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants to look like their most beautiful self on their wedding day!

I worked with Arielle (the best!) and my makeup turned out so beautifully - I felt like the prettiest version of myself without feeling cakey or overdone. It was also really great to see how happy and beautiful all my bridesmaids felt and looked - I've already had a few people reach out via Instagram asking who did our makeup since it looked so great! Thank you Arielle for the best day! xoxo

They treated me and every one of my girls like a celebrity - my mom and mother in law too. Everyone was so pleased with their looks - there were selfies abound. Not only that - but Sam was so easy to work with. She made small tweaks to my look based on my feedback until we were both thrilled with the final result. And the makeup lasted all night and looks beautiful in the photos! An absolutely phenomenal experience.

k, she did an "Autumn Look." It was so beautiful, elegant, and truly screamed "autumn." She worked with golds, coppers, and other beautiful colors that really captured the look I wanted and played off our venue, flowers, lighting, etc. It turned out to be a very rainy and windy wedding day and sadly my hair and makeup took a slight hit after our first look and couple pictures (we were outside under an archway for about 20 minutes and we got spritzed), but that was no match for Stacie, who got right to work with touch-ups when we got back inside. She was able to work her magic quickly and keep us all on track (and my makeup looked just as good as it did before we went outside). I also really loved that she genuinely wants you to look and feel gorgeous on your wedding day. She does not treat your makeup like it’s a gig or a job, instead, you feel like she is treating you like a muse for the day and she is creating art. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received about my makeup. Oh, and it held up all night! Stacie is also very professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. She is just so fun, kind, funny, and is so great about keeping you engaged during the makeup process (and is truly a calming presence in the room). Also, Stacie and her team did an incredible job with the bridesmaids' makeup and the moms (and were on schedule despite having a big group!). If you are busy or overwhelmed about your makeup (wedding research can be so time-consuming, especially when you’re juggling work and all other things in life), if you want a makeup artist that can be flexible in case the weather is a little bit crazy on your wedding day, and if you want someone who really cares and will make you look absolutely stunning on your big day, then I recommend that you consider Stacie.

Stacie listened to my preferences about wanting to look very natural and not have a heavy makeup for wedding day. She also informs you of all the products she is using every step of the way. This is great in case you a love a product, you can buy it for yourself (which I ended up doing because I loved the lip color she used so much). Stacie is also such a calming energy on wedding day and handled some tough members of my bridal party like a true pro. She never lost her cool, she just kept working with them until they felt satisfied. I had many people compliment how beautiful my makeup looked and a few of my bridesmaids comment how much they loved their own makeup.

Through my trial and ongoing conversations, Stacie learned what I like and didn't like and applied that with her years and years of experience and expertise to deliver outstanding quality makeup artistry.

I was nervous that she'd find her makeup jarring but it was in fact the exact opposite - she was so happy, and I thought she looked like just a more polished version of herself.

Many guests commented that it was the most makeup they'd ever seen me wear, but that I wore it well and looked gorgeous. It was such a great feeling leaving my trial and knowing Stacie was "the one," and an even better feeling to look through photos of the day and know that the look she had created for me was absolutely perfect.

ame across Stacie Fords website and her reviews were excellent. I reached out to her and she responded quickly and gave me an estimate, but because I only had a party of three one of her assistants was going to do the makeup instead. I thought about it some more and decided to look for another makeup artist that did both hair and makeup. I found Daniela Rodriguez site, and took a leap of faith but what a disaster, talk about flaky non responsive and made the whole process stressful. I mean how can you call yourself a professional, and say you have a studio on your site and not have one, and be close to two hours late for a trial, then use regular mac foundation for airbrushing? Then completely ignore emails and phone calls? Hopeless, and with only a month to my wedding, which was this past April, I decided to reach out again to Stacie. She was like an angel that answered all of my prayers. She was so kind and answered my email quickly. Due to all the stress, my skin was breaking out and so I was worried about how I would look on my wedding day. I explained my situation and I told her because of my skin I'd prefer if she did my makeup. She was so gracious and said she would do it even though she usually does larger bridal parties. I was so happy and even happier when I arrived to her studio which was beautiful. She listened to everything I said and was patient. She is a true professional and has so much quality high end makeup, the possibilities are endless. On my wedding day she arrived early and had a diagram with all of my makeup requests we had discussed during the trail and even gave me bag with samples to touch up my makeup throughout the night. It was a very long wedding day from 11:30am to 12pm and my makeup was as pristine as when first applied. Seriously, all I did was reapply lipstick after eating and that was it. I was so happy with the outcome and she did such a great job with my makeup you could not see a blemish in site, yet very natural. She is truly gifted and talented, if you're in doubt, trust me you will be pleasantly surprised. On top of that she is a doll such a pleasure to work with.

I hired Stacie to do makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mother, and the groom’s mother for my wedding in NYC. I knew from the reviews, photos, and descriptions of her style that she would be a great choice and even still I was blown away by the ...
amazing job that she did for my wedding. At the makeup trial with Stacie, she was so accommodating of the fact that I didn’t have any pictures or very concrete idea of what I wanted, just that I was looking for something that would look good on me. We tried out color options until we found the ones that were perfect for me. She even found a lipstick that I loved (normally I hate the look of all lipstick on me)! I spent the trial taking notes of everything she chose for me and have since bought a lot of the great products that she uses, because I had never been able to find colors that worked so well on me. Day of the wedding she arrived at the hotel promptly and was ahead of schedule for the whole day. All of the bridesmaids looked great and loved the makeup she did for them. Even the mothers, who never wear makeup, felt comfortable in the look she did for them. One of the bridesmaids emailed me immediately after the wedding to get her contact information so she could schedule an appointment with Stacie! The makeup she did for me for the wedding was perfect - I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day. Every single one of our wedding photos looks fantastic thanks to Stacie! I got so many compliments about how great it looked all night long. I can’t wait to have some reason to get my makeup done professionally again because I want her to do my makeup again! Stacie is a true artist, an extremely nice person, and I cannot recommend her any higher!
