State of Face Artistry

The best makeup artist in Columbus

Joy is by far the best makeup artist in Columbus. She did my makeup, 5 bridesmaids,my mother, and mother in laws makeup. She did a FANTASTIC job on everyone's face. Everyone looked different from each other which is always nice because who wants to match all the time. My... Read More makeup was beyond what I expected. I loved my trial that I had with Joy about a month before my wedding but once I kept looking at the pic it wasn't what I really wanted. The day of my wedding I let Joy know that I wanted; more drastic and a different color eye shadow. Joy listened to what I wanted and did more! Everyone at my wedding loved my makeup. They kept telling me I looked like a model in a magazine which was wonderful to hear all night. My wedding was outside and it rained right before I went out. My makeup never messed up. My face never felt greasy. It was perfect till the end of the night before I had to wash it off:(Joy is such a great makeup artist and person; she listens, takes pride in her work, and made me look like a princess!!!!

I'd worked with Joy previously for head shots at my company and knew I wanted to work with her again for my wedding day makeup. We did a consultation about a month before at her home and I had so much fun it felt like I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends. Joy listened... Read More to what I wanted and created a look that was exactly what I had in mind. When my wedding day came, I'll never forget how I felt looking in the mirror with my makeup done perfectly. Joy also did my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-laws makeup and listened to what they wanted and created a look that was unique to each of them. My mother-in-law doesn't typically wear a lot of makeup and was worried about not looking like herself. Joy listened to her concerns and I know my mother-in-law was thrilled with her makeup! Thank you Joy for your attention to detail and for being all around awesome at what you do!

I cannot say enough good things about Joy from State of Face Artistry! She is such a talented artist, very professional, kind, and it was simply a joy to have her part of our special day. I did a trial with her about 8 months before and she worked with me to give me the exact... Read More look I wanted. I do not wear very much makeup and was nervous about airbrush and false lashes and all I can say is: if Joy says it will look good, DO IT! I had a small touch-up with her before the ceremony, but other than that my makeup was flawless until 2 am! Whatever look you want for your special day, Joy can make it happen and it will look better than you ever could have imagined.

Joy was amazing throughout the whole process. I knew I wanted her to be my makeup artist after she did my sister-in-laws makeup on her wedding day, 3 years before mine! She did not disappoint.

Joy applied my makeup for my engagement photo session beautifully. Her personality and warmth made me feel at ease in her makeup chair. The makeup stood up to the heat of the day, the melting sunshine, and all my smiling. :)

I hesitated to write a review, since I did not actually use her services, but I did not want her kindness to go unnoticed.

Read More continued to help me locate another artist who had my day available and put me in contact with her. EXCELLENT customer service.

Joy did make up for my New Years Eve wedding and I can't say enough nice things about her and her company. Joy is so accommodating--she squeezed our wedding into her schedule totally last minute after a trial run with another Columbus traveling beauty team was less than... Read More impressive. She is so creative and totally got the vibe I was going for. She was great with my bridesmaids, and made my mom feel beautiful. If you're lucky enough to fit into Joy's schedule, you will be one stunning bride!

Read More could not have been more grateful for her time and creative hand! Above all, she truly is a magnificent person, was a breeze to work with, and is INSANELY talented!! She's your girl!

This review may be biased because I feel like Joy and I are kindred spirits. As soon as I met her, I felt so comfortable. She is such a cool person! I told her I was from a small town called Enon, and she knew a band called Enon and played their music during my trial! The other... Read More artist she brought to help my bridal party get ready was also wonderful. I think her name was Jenny. We were running a bit behind schedule but Joy never made me feel rushed. On the contrary, she made me feel like a queen! She is so kind and professional. If I ever need makeup done for a special event, I will definitely be calling Joy.

Joy was great to work with! Once she was able to get a handle on the shape of my eye, she absolutely nailed it! I went for a makeup trial several months before my wedding and she was very receptive to my ideas or changes that I wanted to make. I had a combined Indian and... Read More American wedding, so I had 4 different outfits and 3 different makeup looks. I was so happy with every single look, but I have to say she really showed her skills the morning of the wedding when she created a look that was versatile and worked for both Indian and American ceremonies (and 2 different outfits)! Absolutely great work!!!!

Joy was the best vendor of my whole wedding day! Since I don't normally wear make up, I was hesitant about looking too overdone.

Read More agreed Joy was the best make up they had ever had done (including their own weddings). Thank you Joy! :-)

I was nervous about my makeup application initially but Joy immediately made me feel comfortable and my makeup as well as my 5 bridesmaid's... Read More makeup looked amazing. All of my bridesmaids said this was the best wedding makeup they've ever had done. I cannot recommend Joy enough!!! You will not be disappointed!

Joy was awesome!! My bridesmaids opted not to get their makeup done but Joy was great and squeezed me in before a big wedding party that she had that day if I was able to go to her studio (which was right by my venue). My makeup looked great! I had to go pretty early in the... Read More morning and it stayed perfect all day, even with the rain. She gave me a lip kit and glue for my eyelashes which made me feel better about the early appointment. Used the lip kit a couple times and didn't need the eyelash glue at all (but was glad to have it)
