Stacie Ford Weddings Elite Makeup Artistry

The Absolute BEST

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! During my trial, Stacie took the... Read More 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!

Better than I could have imagined!

Amazing is not enough of a word. I have been in a ton of weddings and have had my makeup done many times, and I have to say that Stacie Ford was the best I have ever experienced! I think the biggest difference between Stacie and other makeup artists is that she genuinely... Read More cares. She explains what she's doing every step of the way and constantly shows you her progress to make sure that you love it. She wants you to look beautiful and be happy. It's not another day to her, it's your wedding day and she is a huge part of it. Stacie and her team were unbelievable to work with. I was a bride who wanted a natural and editorial look and Stacie was able to make my dream in to a reality. She was calming and confident and was a huge help in recommending what would work best with my skin, dress and overall "wedding theme." The day of the wedding, Stacie was pure class. As stressful as the day can get, she remained a calming force and handled all of my bridal party with ease. Everyone looked beautiful and what's even better, their makeup lasted all day. Stacie made me feel like a bride that should have been in a magazine or walking the runway. It was better than anything I could have imagined. I definitely will be using Stacie for all of my events!

Simply put, Stacie Ford is absolutely the best at what she does. I am so amazed at the look she created for me, the two mothers, and my bridesmaid. I met Stacie first for my trial, and everyone I shared the pictures with agreed - Stacie's natural look that lit up my eyes truly... Read More brought out the best in me. On the day of the ceremony, Stacie stayed with me for touch-ups, as photographs were before the ceremony, and helped coach me through them for how I would photograph best. She wasn't wrong - my face stands out beautifully against my detailed Lazaro dress. I was fearful that my face would be washed out, but in every picture I am bright and feel beautiful. 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. In fact, when we shot some additional pictures the following day, I could tell such a difference that I was disappointed I hadn't scheduled another touch-up! I cannot recommend Stacie enough. She is personable, kind, helpful, and supremely talented! Thank you Stacie for all your work for my wedding!!

Stacie was INCREDIBLE throughout the whole process! From the day of my trial through the day of the wedding, she was extremely helpful, sweet, and just amazing at what she does! I received tons of compliments and was so so happy with my wedding day makeup look. I would recommend... Read More her to ANYONE looking for a great makeup artist! She knew exactly what to do based on the look I described. My mother and bridesmaids were also so happy with her and they all looked stunning, too! Her assistant, Corinne, helped with some of my bridesmaids/mother-in-law and they all loved her, as well! I could not have made a better choice for a makeup artist :)

Stacie was wonderful to work with. She is as professional as she is personable. She did a beautiful natural look on myself 2 sisters and Mothér. I received so many compliments from my guests about my makeup. It was enough to make me beautiful but not overdone where I didnt... Read More look like myself. It also lasted all day and night! She was prompt the day of and always responded quickly to emails. Another plus is that she is reasonable! Even with her level of talent and exposure she is still very fair with pricing.

Hiring Stacie as my makeup artist for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day was with no doubt one of the best decisions I made. She is extremely talented and did a wonderful job on me, my mom, and bridal party. She made all of us feel amazing and look absolutely beautiful. She... Read More touched me up throughout pictures and my makeup stayed perfectly all night. My mom, who has never liked her makeup done professionally, fell in love with her look. After the wedding, Stacie was even nice enough to send her a list of all the products she used on her on the day. It's rare to find vendors who will go above and beyond for you after your wedding day so it was much appreciated and an example of Stacies character. I can't thank Stacie enough and would recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel gorgeous on their wedding day or any day!

Stacie was amazing. She did my make-up beautifully and it lasted all night. I tried three other make-up artists and choose her because she's extremely talented, great to be around and willing to work with you to find your look. She also did my sister and mother's make-up and... Read More they both looked really stunning. She can do very different looks as well. For my wedding, she did more natural looks and honestly, I was so thrilled with how it all came out. Plus, she wonderful to have around on your wedding day.

Stacie and her team did an absolutely AMAZING job on my wedding day make up as well as my bridal party's make up. We all looked like the very best version of ourselves for our very special and important day. After several unsuccessful make up trials with other artists, I was... Read More lucky enough to have found Stacie, who from the very start made me feel comfortable. I am someone who is extremely particular about my make up and have been doing it myself for long enough to know exactly what I want, and Stacie worked through all of my quirks, even offering tips and guidance on how to enhance my everyday make up. She was sweet, hip, and a lot of fun- but most importantly she was a professional. She had great communication and was punctual. She was an awesome addition to the preparation dream team I hired for my big day! Remember: makeup is a key ingredient to you're wedding look, a look that will be in the photographs you will keep forever. Whether you wear makeup everyday like me, or have never worn makeup before, Stacey is the artist who will enhance your beauty in ways you didn't know were possible.

I don't usually post reviews but after the stellar service I received from Stacie I had to write one. We all know how difficult it is to find an honest review but I assure you this one is. After searching and searching for a makeup artist, I came across Stacie Fords website and... Read More 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. So in the end, everything worked out for the best and I owe that to Stacie.

Stacie is beyond amazing!!!!!! I can not thank her enough for making my skin look flawless and natural. Stacie was the only make up artist who was able to cover up my Rosacea w/o making me look cakey or as if I had a ton of make-up on. I received so many compliments on my... Read More wedding day on how I looked like myself just with a touch of glam! Besides being very skillful, Stacie is very personable and cheery, which are great characteristics to have around you on your wedding day!

Stacie did an amazing job on my makeup and the makeup of MoB and MoG. Everyone her brushes touched got lots of wows. Both mothers said they looked like they hadn't looked this great in decades. I had my makeup done before noon and it was going strong and still lovely at... Read More midnight. She made me feel relaxed and beautiful during a nervous time. I completely changed what I wanted from my look the day of (sorry, Stacie) but she was so well equipped with the best colors that she knew exactly what would work as soon as I shared my ideas. Thank you sooooo much Stacie! Everyone was gushing!

Stacie and her team are amazing! I used them for my wedding a few weeks ago, and they did a beautiful job for myself, my mom, and 6 of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked gorgeous. From the initial trial, she did a great job of understanding what look I was going for (not just... Read More for makeup, by my entire wedding), and then finding the makeup that worked best for me. She explained everything she did, so I really understood how everything worked together and why she was applying it. She was absolutely great on my wedding day! She and her team arrived on time and stayed on track. They were all so wonderful, and made everyone look and feel beautiful. Our makeup lasted all day and night, which was great. Stacie is so incredibly nice, professional, and talented. I would highly recommend her along with her team!

Stacie was wonderful to work with and gave me perfect makeup on my wedding day! I have never felt more beautiful and my skin looked flawless in all of our photos! Stacie and her assistant made all of my ladies look gorgeous! When deciding who to work with on my wedding day, I... Read More was quite picky. I had makeup trials with several different artists and none of them compared to Stacie! Working with her was definitely the right decision! She is worth every cent and I will always be grateful to her when i look at my perfect wedding photos!

Stacie's attention to detail was incredible. She took the time to create the most beautiful makeup for me and my bridesmaids that was cohesive and unique for each person. I would recommend her to any person looking for a chic, glamorous, and polished look for your big day.... Read More Stacie is nothing short of amazing!!!!!

My Best Bridial Decision - Stacie Ford

When reflecting back on our big day in New York City on August 28th 2015, one of the best decisions was selecting Stacie (Ford) to do my make-up. From the moment we met to do a trial, I felt in expert hands and never looked back! Stacie really help me find the perfect... Read More make-up look for me for my wedding day. I did a number of trials before meeting Stacie and her approach was so different to everyone else's - she took her time, she gave honest feedback and recommendations, she simply just KNOWS make-up! Stacie also did my make-up for my engagement shoot - a totally different look from the wedding day - that suited my outfit and central park surroundings perfectly! My groom and I are both from Ireland but currently live in Singapore so planning a destination wedding on the other side of the world was a challenge! However Stacie was fantastic to communicate with over email, which was so important to me. One of things that I valued most was the honest invaluable tried and tested advice imparted by Stacie as to which are the must-have products for your make-up bag and what particular products would be fantastic for my eye-shape, colouring etc for all occasions, not just for my wedding day. She has transformed how I do my own make-up and I don't know how I lived without some of the products!! Last but not least, Stacie and her team were fantastic to be around during the 'getting-ready' process - fun and calming at the same time! She was genuinely interested and excited to hear all the wedding details and that is the type of energy every bride loves on her wedding day. I want to go to Stacie for another make-up session the next time I am in NYC.

Stacie Ford is INCREDIBLE.

Stacie went above and beyond to make not only my face, but my day look absolutely perfect. She was organized, timely, focused,- and of course most importantly TALENTED. I am an actress and have had my makeup done on multiple sets for TV and film and Stacie was the best... Read More makeup artist that I have ever had work on me. She listened to me and added her opinions months in advance so that we carefully crafted and executed the exact look that I wanted. I will use her again and again in the future for other events. If you can book her- do not hesitate, this woman is GOLD AND TALENT. You will feel incredible without feeling like your makeup is caked on. Not to mention I woke up the next morning after a HEAVY night of dancing and drinking AND an after party AND HAPPY CRYING and my makeup was perfect. Just sayin'!

Excellent Makeup Artist!!

Stacie did my makeup for my September 2015 wedding and I was blown away by her talent, professionalism and experience. She did an amazing job. My makeup looked exactly how I wanted it to look and she is an expert at enhancing natural beauty. Stacie was also really pleasant to... Read More work with and made me feel very calm and relaxed the morning of the wedding. She and her team did makeup for all of my bridesmaids as well and everyone looked SO gorgeous. Before I booked Stacie, I had a few makeup trials with other artists and was not satisfied. Once I had my trial with Stacie, I knew I had found the right person! She is so good at finding the right tones and specific makeup products for your skin, style and preference. I will recommend her to all of my engaged friends and I hope she will do my makeup again sometime in the future!

Wedding Makeup

Stacie and her assistant provided makeup for my wedding. I did two trials with Stacie beforehand with two completely different looks (i drastically changed my mind) and she executed both looks flawlessly. I have had makeup done for friends' weddings in the past and never liked... Read More the results, but with Stacie I still felt like I looked very much like myself. She listened carefully to my likes and dislikes and executed what I wanted perfectly - and elegant and elevated version of my natural look. Would definitely recommend her!

Best Choice for Makeup!

Stacie was fantastic. She did the makeup for 9 of my bridesmaids plus me and everyone looked flawless all day. Her airbrush is light and natural looking, and stayed on perfectly in the hot August weather. I have recommended Stacie to all of my friends!

The Best!

I know I am just adding to the chorus of 5-star reviews, but I am so happy I chose Stacie for my wedding makeup! (I found her on a wedding blog...and she made me look as beautiful as the models she works with). She is also a calm, kind presence, which was important to me. And... Read More she is truly an artist when it comes to choosing colors. She provided a touch-up kit for me but I honestly didn't even have to use it...my beautiful makeup lasted through rain (hurricane Joaquin), through tears (cried through my vows, through all the toasts), & through sweat (dancing until 2 am)! I highly recommend her! I can't wait to get my professional photos back-- the ones I've seen so far are incredible.

So talented and lovely

Working with Stacie was terrific. She is so sweet, lovely to be around and she did such an amazing job on my bridesmaids and I on my wedding day. Before Stacie, I had never once in my life had a good experience with a make up artist (usually frantically trying to fix it... Read More afterwards) and I'm so glad to have finally found someone great. I will definitely contact her again on special occasions in the future. She's the best.

The BEST!!!! After conducing an exhaustive search for a makeup artist for my wedding (held on 9.6.15), I came across Stacie and immediatley loved her work. When I met her in person, I fell in love with her even more! After seeing tons of terrible "wedding" makeup out there,... Read More Stacie was a breath of fresh air. She took the time to listen and truly understand what I was looking for, and even offered to do multiple looks on me at the trial (which is very rare!) She is an extremely talented makeup artist and really is a pro at using makeup to bring out your best features. She also explains to you what she's doing each step of the way, so you really understand what she's doing and why. In addition to my makeup, she also did makeup for my mom and bridesmaids, and they also commented on how fabulous she was! (Stacie made sure to bring helpers to keep our schedule on track!) In addition to her immense talent though, she is also an amazing person. She has great energy and is super fun, which is exactly what you want as you and your bridal party are getting ready before the wedding! Every photo I've seen of myself and my bridal party is just beautiful, and the makeup even managed to last throughout the day and night! She is a miracle worker! I really could go on and on about how wonderful Stacie is, but she made me look and feel my best on my big day, and for that, I can't thank her enough! Ladies- stop your search now- you won't find a makeup artist better than Stacie!

Beautiful Bridal Makeup and Hair!!

Stacie was responsive and thorough in all our email exchanges. I had a tight hair and make-up budget for my wedding, which was taking place in less than two months. Stacie worked within my budget me to find the perfect make-up artist Alexa. She even helped me find a hair artist,... Read More Nyema. Both were absolutely wonderful, they all made the experience stress free and super easy. I was planning my wedding from 3,000 miles away and Stacie's responsiveness and willingness to help me find artists within my budget was a true gift. Both Alexa (make-up) and Nyema (hair) were true artists - they did beautiful work on my hair and face. I felt like a celebrity on my wedding day. The make-up was natural, elegant and polished and the hair looked exactly like the photo I provided. I couldn't have asked for a better company to work with on my wedding day. If you're looking for hair and makeup artists on your wedding, I highly recommend Stacie Ford.

Absolutely Fabulous!

I cannot recommend Stacie enough! I was introduced to her through my wedding coordinator, and from the moment I emailed Stacie she was so helpful with my (many) questions and helping to organize the prep for my big day. She made me look like the most beautiful version of... Read More myself, which is exactly what I wanted. At my trial in her studio, she took the time to understand the look and feel of our wedding celebration and of my vision for the day. She had lots of wonderful suggestions but immediately she created my perfect bridal look - better than I could have even described it. Stacie's professional artistry and products resulted in the most beautiful photos. It is so important to work with someone you enjoy - she is so lovely and wonderful. It made the morning of my wedding so special. Stacie also did the makeup for my sisters, grandmother, and mother of the bride. She made everyone look stunning! My mother was so over the moon she wants Stacie to do her makeup for every future affair! Your wedding day look is so important. Stacie knows how to create that and becomes one of your favorite people in the process!
