Joy is truly amazing!! From the first time I met her for my trial, through wedding day morning - she made me happy and comfortable. Her work made myself, my mom and all of the bridesmaids look like models. We still receive compliments regularly...
about how good everyone looked! She traveled to my [parents house and was never once inconvenienced (even when she had to show up at 7 AM!). She made everyone feel comfortable (even though many of us had never had our makeup professionally done before). She did such a great job that we reached out only a couple weeks after to see if she could do our makeup again, for my sister's wedding! I highly recommend any Columbus bride working with Joy. :)

her strong experience and knowledge when creating a makeup look for brides and bridal parties - she also is incredibly open and receptive to feedback and changes. She creates a really comfortable and safe space for people to share what changes they want in their look, and takes feedback so well. I only had minor adjustments to make in my look after my consultation, and she executed those changes perfectly on my wedding day. She managed to do makeup for 9 people, including a bride, moms, grandparents, a pre-teen and bridesmaids with diverse style and looks, and everyone looked and felt flawless. Joy also made it super easy by coming to our hotel to do our makeup, even on the day of a blizzard for our January wedding. Her makeup looks were not only flawless, but photographed well, and stayed in tact for the whole evening of the wedding. I would love to work with her again in the future!

She also gave me extra lip color to touch up throughout the day which was amazing! I wasn’t feeling very well while getting ready that morning and was upset that I wasn’t feeling 100% on my special day. When it was my turn for my make-up things in the hotel suite were getting a bit chaotic with all of the vendors showing up and extra family around. Joy took charge and asked everyone to go into the attached room, she changed the music to something relaxing, and let me close my eyes and try to relax. I appreciated her doing this and it really helped me to feel better. My flower girl was not getting make-up done but witnessed me getting my make-up done and was really intrigued by the whole process.

The makeup artist used at the last wedding I was in had all clearance makeup, one small eyeshadow palette, and after she left I had to fix my cakey make up that didn't blend down my neck, and my eyeshadow that had a didn't have a blended crease. Joy is amazing at what she does, and worth every penny you pay for her. I would hire her all over again, especially after seeing what else is out there. It doesn't get better than Joy Macke!

Joy did a great job on me and 3 of my bridesmaids and my mom :) When I got the photos back from my wedding all of the girls look great! She came to my house the day of wedding and did a great job! She also gave us baggies of blotting paper and ...
lipstick of the shade you were wearing for touch ups through the night. She did a great job! She was great at answering e-mails quickly as well. Kimberly Wedding May 10, 2013

I knew from the moment I walked in for my trial with Joy that she was the right pick. She licked my off beat not the typical bride style. She worked with what I wanted and made AMAZING suggestions. The day of the wedding she was just as amazing...
. She did the make up for my entire wedding party and gave them skin care pointers along the way. Everyone looked and felt fantastic! When my make up was done I couldn't have felt any better about myself and it is flawless in pics!

Joy Macke
Owner
State of Face came to be after Joy Macke finished college at Ohio State and then spent 8 years as a cosmetics trainer. Once she started freelancing in weddings and working in production artistry (commercials and corporate videos), she knew she found her niche. The business has grown to include other trusted and highly skilled artists and now hair stylists. When Joy isn't making people feel extra pretty, she enjoys singing with a service choir (Harmony Project- check them out!), being a wife and foster parent to 2 teenagers and loving on her 2 pups and 2 kitties.
