If you’re looking for a make up artists for your wedding, I highly recommend going with the beauty painters! I absolutely loved my make up trial and felt that Melissa understood the look I was going for. I do not wear a lot of make-up and wanted a more natural look for my big day. Melissa nailed it! The day of my wedding I wanted my eye lashes more full and Melissa ensured I was happy with my eye lashes before she left. Melissa was punctual, fun, and professional. I felt so beautiful the day of the wedding, and it’s all thanks to Melissa! The beauty painters prices are fair as well. Again I highly recommend going with the beauty painters for your wedding and wedding party.

I booked The Beauty Painters for my June wedding. Some things I loved about working with them:
Communication before the day, including pricing, was very direct and transparent. Scheduling trials was flexible and convenient, and it was nice to get them done in a salon environment. I also appreciated their commitment to add artists instead of hours for large parties, so we didn’t have to start at 6:00am!
I also really liked my hair; I went into my trial without much idea of what I wanted, and Sam worked with me to find a look that I really liked. On the day of, my hair looked great and held up better than expected at a drizzly outdoor wedding. She and the other two artists were all awesome company in the bridal suite too!
My one regret is how my makeup went: I really wanted a natural look and communicated that ahead and during the trial, but wound up with a pretty heavy look that I just wasn’t comfortable with. We had a second trial the week of the wedding that I loved, but the wedding day look landed somewhere between the two, and I didn’t really feel like I looked like myself. I was disappointed that the week-of trial didn’t have more of an impact on how the makeup ultimately turned out. However, I can say that it was expertly applied and lasted all night, and my bridesmaids who got their makeup done were happy with it.

I loved my look for my wedding day. The makeup artist that I had previously booked ended up cancelling a couple of months before my wedding, and the Beauty Painters were able to quickly schedule my trial and book my wedding despite it being a holiday weekend. I worked primarily with Tori, and she was so great! My hair and makeup lasted all night. All of my family members that got hair and makeup felt like the look really suited them, and they were very happy with the results. I’m so glad that we had the Beauty Painters were our makeup artists on our day!

Started off with inconsistent emailing and communication. Then my trial for hair and makeup was 3 months before my wedding but the makeup fell apart after 3 hours of wear. It was cakey and the eyeshadow was all over my face. The hair was deflated as well. They will not refund your deposit despite being ahead by months. Overall a very disappointing experience.

We had such a beautiful wedding day thanks to the team at Beauty Painters! My mom, sisters, and I did a trial a few months before my wedding, which was super helpful to get a sense of what I wanted day of. The style team was super flexible about coordinating hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, and everyone looked fantastic.

When planning a wedding hair and makeup have to be one of the most stressful things after buying the dress. I was so beyond pleased with the beauty painters! Tori and Kali were absolute sweethearts! they made me feel so comfortable and at ease. To be honest they felt like part of my family! They were so laid back, professional and i had so much fun working with them!
From my trial run to the day of they were incredible. They showed up at the crack of dawn to a small country church and they rolled with every curve ball. They took away so much stress of the day!
Not only did i feel beautiful, but so did my girls and my mothers in law. My ten year old Niece is obsessed with beauty and they had no issue with her million questions and her watching the entire process. I also have no idea what makeup and product they used but it stayed the entire night! through my tears, rain, and dancing my hair and makeup still looked perfect at the end of the day.
I would recommend this company to anyone who is getting married. There communication is fantastic, the women are incredible, and they put me at such ease on my wedding day. Tori and Kali felt like great friends who were getting you ready for your wedding day. Thank you beauty painters for everything!

Kali and Alana were so easy and fun to work with! Communication was prompt and clear. Additionally, Kali was even available on a Sunday for a trial for my bridal shower. Kali and I explored multiple makeup looks, eventually choosing the most perfect look for my wedding day. My bridesmaids were all loving their makeup looks as well! I highly recommend! :)

From start to finish, my experience with the Beauty Painters was great. With myself, 8 bridesmaids and 3 moms, we had a big lift for these ladies to take on, and they crushed it. From the help creating a schedule for our girls and 4 artists, to the finished product, it was nothing but easy and fun. The 4 ladies who joined us in our bridal suite totally matched our vibe and made the morning even more fun than we had planned. If you are looking for killer makeup, beautiful hair, and a fun time with your stylists/artists, then go with the Beauty Painters!

It was find to find a company that had experience with different hair textures but they delivered. Melissa was professional, caring and quick. Each updo took 20-30 minutes. Highly recommend!!

I hired the Beauty Painters to do the hair for myself and bridal party, as well as mom and SIL. In total there were seven of us, and we had Alicia who came and did our hair. She showed up promptly on time, and worked quickly to get everyone's hair done in time. She was super friendly the entire day as well, and very easy to be around which helped sooth my nerves as the bride to be. Everyone's hair also stayed up the entire night, and she was able to give everyone the style that they wanted! She also traveled to our venue which was awesome!

The Beauty Painters were great to work with! I reached out in late January for my June wedding and got an email response from Alana in less than 12 hours! She was quick to reply to all my other messages as well, making the entire process stress-free. Kali was my makeup artist and she did a wonderful job. My eyes were a little darker than I had wanted during the trial, but we fixed it for the wedding day and it felt much more natural. I'm glad I did the airbrush foundation. Through all the tears my makeup stayed flawless! I'd highly recommend The Beauty Painters!

What can I say about the Beauty Painters?! As an African American woman, it was really nerve wracking finding people who can accommodate my hair. I saw the pictures on the Beauty Painters site of different races and hair textures and immediately reached out to them. As for the artists- first off- the owner Alana treats you like you’re an old friend! She is so laid back, professional and super talented! I felt right at home during my hair and makeup trial too. I really loved how each girl brought something different to the table and incorporated the vision I had into all the looks done on my big day! I could NOT imagine having anyone else do my hair and makeup for my big day. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Pics ; G.marieImages :)

We had a great experience working with Alana & Sam from The Beauty Painters! My initial trial didn’t go quite as I expected and when I brought it to Alana’s attention, she immediately made it right. The day of getting ready with my girls and mothers was SO much fun and they made all of us feel so special. So many compliments on our makeup and hair. Highly recommend

Alana is awesome! She is extremely upbeat and personable and always makes you feel welcome immediately. I got to know her about 6 years ago when I came to do my make up for an event. She transformed me. She has an amazing gift for creating different make up looks! I use her skills for many different events. I got my make up done by her for a wedding, while recommending her skills to the bride who looked transformed and absolutely stunning. She has also taught me how to do my own make up. I used to see her for only make up applications but now she does hair too. I had never colored my hair and while she was training got it done by her. I was in awe. I looked like a different person and received many compliments. Since then, I have referred many friends and they were equally happy.You won't go wrong by seeing her! She will amaze you!
Equally as amazing is her partner, Alicia. Alicia knows how to style hair and cut it so it looks perfect. I trust her without reservation when I want to look my best. Her hair styling techniques are unparalleled and impeccable. She has a fun and outgoing personality and she will put you at ease instantly. I love going to see for not only an amazing cut and style but to visit with her.
Together Alana and Alicia make a dynamic duo. If you want to look and feel amazing, look no further. You won’t be disappointed!

Kali did my engagement photos and she did a fantastic job. I haven't worn makeup (especially a full face) in over 3 years and I felt gorgeous. My makeup didn't feel heavy and lasted through hours of outdoor fall photoshoots. Highly recommend the entire team as they're all professionals and use some of the best makeup.

I worked with Alana for make-up and Melissa for hair, both were wonderful and did a fantastic job! It lasted throughout the entire night (which for my hair, I was nervous because we did a half-up half-down style with tons of bobby pins but it still looked incredible by the end of the night!) They had a lot of folks to work with (myself plus 4 bridesmaids, a groomslady, and both mothers) and they were friendly, professional, and got everything done in plenty of time. I also loved that they sent me a schedule beforehand, which was unnecessary but as someone who's very detailed oriented, I appreciated it immensely. Everyone loved their hair and make-up! Absolutely wonderful!
