gorgeous because of her! Thank you, Susan!
All I can say is wow - thank you, Susan! I normally don’t wear makeup so I was very worried about having my makeup done for my wedding. Susan completely understood me when we had...
a trial and did an amazing job the day of my wedding. Everyone in my bridal party looked beautiful. She came prepared with everything needed and then some - including lighting! Among the best decisions I made in planning my wedding was working with Susan.
I don't write reviews, but I had to with this one! Hilary and Susan did hair and makeup for my entire bridal party and for me on my wedding day! From trial to day of, they were the...
sweetest people to work with and absolutely incredible at their job! I am one of the pickiest people when it comes to makeup and hair, and my hair never holds a curl. However, Hilary did my hair at 12:00PM, and it was still curly at 3:00AM when I went to bed. Not only that, it didn't feel still like it had hairspray in it, which was amazing. Susan was equally as amazing. I completely changed my mind on my eye shadow, and Susan not only made all the changes happen without making me feel bad about it, but I felt gorgeous! She explained everything as she did it, and was just a joy to work with! All my bridesmaids looked beautiful, and the makeup looked natural while still coming out great in photos. I am so incredibly grateful to these two women for helping me on my wedding day! I will never go somewhere else for big events. If you can get them for your wedding day, I highly recommend it!! Thanks Hilary and Susan for all that you did!

was so comforting to know when you have a large wedding party with multiple different backgrounds. My make-up trial was great! She really listens to feedback. She is also very honest about how to make you the best YOU! On the day of the wedding she was prompt and fast, which is so important to timelines. I love love love her lip stain and gloss, Halcyon. I know own several colors. Highly recommend Susan for all your make-up needs!
Susan was recently the make-up artist for my really large (sometimes demanding😃) bridal party. From the moment I met her I knew things were going to go smoothly. Not only is she ...
great at what she does she is fun to be around. She kept everyone focused and on task (no mean feat) and got everyone “camera ready” and “wedding gorgeous”. Since I’m not planning on having another wedding I’ll have to come up with other reasons to have her do my makeup. Having Susan do the makeup for my wedding was one of my best planning decisions.
Susan worked with us for two Indian events and honestly, she was the BEST makeup artist ever. She was professional, timely, gave advice on the best look for every single person, an...
d responded fast. She worked extremely well with the mayhem that happens in an extremely long Indian wedding! Additionally, she even worked with us when we had to make last minute changes to the itinerary. Thank you for bringing your personality, your artistry, and your expertise to make us all look exceptional! We just received professional photos and they look amazing. I would highly recommend her for any wedding or special event!

Susan was absolutely wonderful when she did the makeup for my November 4th wedding this past year. I only had one other makeup trial before meeting Susan and immediately felt she u...
nderstood exactly what I was wanting for my wedding day look. I did not want anything super heavy or dark, just something glowy and amped up from my everyday makeup, and where another artist had seemed to be pushing me towards a heavier look than I wanted, Susan immediately got the soft and romantic vibe that I had dreamed of. I hired her the following day with no hesitation knowing I would look exactly as I imagined come wedding day, and I did!! In addition to my own makeup, Susan did the makeup for my 2 bridesmaids, maid of honor, MIL, an aunt and my mom after coming to our venue about an hour from downtown KC. Everyone requested different looks and after seeing a few pictures of what each person was imagining, she delivered exactly what they each wanted while keeping on track with our timeline for the day. There were no touchups needed either, even after a tear-filled ceremony and long day and night! Perhaps the greatest part of hiring Susan for my wedding was seeing how happy my mom (who hardly EVER wears much makeup and was a little apprehensive about getting it done and it being too heavy/not her) was when she saw her finished look and hearing my dad say “WOW!!!” when he saw her. She was so confident and happy and it made me so happy in return. Wonderful team and I have already recommended her several times to other brides-to-be!
Susan was a phenomenal person to have on my team on my wedding day. (At the time of this post she did my makeup which serves as her opening sample picture on this site). We worked ...
together ahead of time to make sure the look was one I loved. She came to my home that morning and was a joyful, calming, and fun presence to have around. She taught up and gave me the tools to touch up my makeup throughout the day. It was a blessing get to work with her and recommend her highly.
Susan was amazing! I used her for myself and my (very large) bridal party, and we booked her daughter for our hair. They are total pros and made everything run smoothly, and ever...
