The True You by Renee LeBlanc

ortant day. She is professional, knowledgable, and trustworthy. Renee took the time to listen and used her talent and skill to create the most beautiful look I could have imagined. Renee did my make up as a bridesmaid years ago and I was so happy to have her do my make up as a bride this year. Thank you, thank you!

he did that perfectly -- I looked like the most naturally beautiful version of myself! She also did makeup for my 7 bridesmaids and my mom, and did a wonderful job for them too. She somehow managed to stay right on schedule (even though we added my mom last-minute), and it was totally stress-free. Highly recommended!

something that I connected with immediately. She made me feel amazing and confident and effortlessly glamorous. She is truly a master at her craft and I would recommend her over and over. I am truly grateful to have had her as a part of my glam team.

day. Renee made me and my mom and sisters feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and I am so thankful we got to work with her!

who doesn't?) but after seeing photos of Renee's work, I knew she would be fantastic. She had me send her photos before my trial so she would know exactly what I wanted. My trial came out amazing & I was so excited for wedding day! My favorite thing about Renee's makeup is that she makes you look gorgeous, yet you still look like yourself! A few of my bridesmaids weren't planning on getting makeup done, but after seeing my trial, they changed their minds & decided they wanted theirs done too! Renee was helpful & responsive throughout the whole process. On wedding day, she listened to what me, my bridesmaids & mom wanted. All of our airbrush makeup stayed on throughout the whole day and night (even with tears!) I cannot say enough great things about Renee. You will not be disappointed!!!!

d done in the past. I felt so at ease with Renee. I went in for my trial the day of my engagement photo session and was absolutely blown away by what she did. I knew I had to book Renee for my wedding day. The day of the wedding Renee arrived on time with a smile. She did makeup for my mom aunt and MOH and everyone was so please with her work. She made me look and feel like and absolute queen on my wedding day. I loved my makeup and it lasted the entire night. I am so happy I found Renee. I will forever use her as my makeup artist in the future for all my major life events. Brides I highly recommend Renee if you want to be that beautiful bride that we all dream of being.

g out the inner beauty in every client she works with. I am extremely hard to please and would never use anyone but her for my makeup needs! ❤️️

r the best. She uses products and application techniques that provide excellent coverage without looking caky/scary. She can literally transform your face while still giving a natural look. As you can see from her portfolio online, Renee does a phenomenal job on a wide variety of styles and ethnicities. My MOH is from Taiwan and got married a couple weeks before me. She absolutely loved the way Renee did her makeup and regretted not working with her for her own wedding. Renee is also extremely calm (certainly helpful during the morning of a hectic wedding day!), down to earth, and reliable.

d right away. I really respond to positive attitudes, and she had the BEST attitude. Very positive, helpful but also gave off a calming attitude that I really appreciated on my wedding day. My makeup was timeless and I still looked like myself, which was important to me. My skin was glowing :). The products she uses are the best. Everyone was obsessed with their makeup, including my mom who normally wears very little. The True You, will always be my number one recommendation. I'm so grateful to have found Renee. Thank you again for all that you did!

uly knows how to accentuate each individual's beauty. I highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

al made me feel comfortable and excited for the big day. Her preparation tips were so helpful and forced me to drink more water than my normal routine. On the day itself, Renee did the make-up for my eight bridesmaids, my mother and me. She set up at a salon and completed everyone before our necessary timeline. We all looked so beautiful but still ourselves!! I loved that the girls had the option for eye lashes if they wanted them. My mom especially was so happy with her make-up! Everyone at the salon was raving about Renee. Looking through the photos for the night my make-up stayed put!! Especially during some crying times I did not look like a hot mess thanks to Renee! The airbrush felt so natural but really made a difference throughout the night and in the photos. Also, the little lip gloss was ideal so I could re-apply as the night went on. Overall, Renee is amazing and I wish she could do my make-up every day!! 

e trial to make sure she produced the same result on my wedding day. Everyone's makeup came out flawlessly and the airbrush lasted all day and night. She also gave me great skincare tips beforehand to pass along to my bridesmaids before the wedding. Renee came to my wedding venue and was on time and we were ready well before the time we needed to be. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend her for any other bride!

e of the hotel rooms. It was perfect. She listened to exactly what each girl wanted and created gorgeous, flawless looks for all of us. The fact that she could come out to the venue was a huge plus and made things a lot more relaxed and fun. I give her my highest possible recommendation!!

nee was able to capture and hi-light our natural beauty! On the day of the wedding, we were expecting Renee to arrive at 11:00 and she did!! Renee wanted to enhance the day and not add any stress! She had a computer "face" printout of my daughter and I where she had notes of our trial run. That was impressive. I can honestly say that the entire bridal party was pleased with the results. Thank you for being a "beautiful" part of my daughter's wedding! The bride ESPECIALLY, was very PLEASED!!! She looked GORGEOUS!!!!

. Whether it was the trial or the day of the wedding itself, Renee was prepared, engaged, and focused on (literally) highlighting the beauty of each bridesmaid, the MOB, MOG, and yours truly: the bride. FYI: skin type and color are no match for Renee; her laser focus and precision made each of us feel like demi-goddesses. I've teased her about making an annual appointment to be beautified, but in all seriousness, it would be worth every penny EVERY time. I have NEVER felt as confident or stunning as I did on my wedding day, and I owe that - in large part - to her. Book her. Book her NOW, and breathe a sigh of your relief: your wedding day just became infinitely better. You're welcome. :)

hired her. On the day of, Renee was able to accommodate my large wedding party. She was able to perfect each girl's makeup according to their desire while remaining patient and professional. Renee's talent is flawless and I loved her idea of red matching lipstick for us all!

worries. It was a great feeling to not have to worry about something so small but so important. She was a true professional. She arrived on time and had everything organized. It really helped to have someone there that knew exactly what they were doing and someone that had confidence and a great product to back it up. With all the options out there it was tough to pick someone but she is the best choice and worth every single penny. My makeup looked the same from the first picture to the last. I knew she had a good reputation but she was even better than I imagined. Renee also did makeup for three bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. She was quick but very meticulous and thorough and asked questions every step of the way to make sure everyone was happy with the product. I highly recommend Renee for your makeup needs.

-- I really liked it but worried that the eyelashes I chose (the biggest she had, of course) were a little too big. She promised me they weren't, and on the day of the wedding I was so glad that I listened! I love the way everyone's make up looks in pictures. She also did a great job with my mom, who never wears make up and put up a bit of a fight about wearing any make up at all at the wedding. Renee wisely told her that she didn't have to use airbrush, and just did a nice powder foundation instead. I had the full works, stayed up the entire night of my wedding, and my make up still looked good at 5am. (The perfect amount of I-stayed-up-all-night-messy :)) I highly recommend Renee!!

She's also so easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!!

g my mother, who never wears makeup, feel comfortable and beautiful the day of the wedding. She was a calm presence in a stressful day and my makeup was everything I had hoped and dreamed of. I cannot recommend The True You or Renee enough, she is a dream vendor who will make you feel and look your best on your most important days!

Engagement photos so I had a pretty good idea how talented she was. I am not a young bride by the way, (47), so she had some work to do. She was early to set up, had a gorgeous smile on her face the entire time, rolled with any changes or last minute requests that came her way and had 6 of us looking more beautiful than any of us had ever looked! The best advice I can give you is to go with Renee. From her pre-wedding advice of good skin care, right up to her triple checking my make-up before she left the Hotel, it will be a decision you will be very, very happy you made!

rial and was patient enough to try a couple different looks on me because I wasn't sure what I wanted. She also took the time to email me beauty tips for the month leading up to the wedding. I followed them all and my skin looked amazing on my wedding day! On my wedding day, Renee was able to apply makeup to 6 bridesmaids, my mother, 5 kids, and myself under tight time constraints. She kept me and everyone else calm the whole morning and was fun to chat with! Renee uses airbrush makeup and it looks completely natural. I did not want to look like I had makeup caked on my face and I definitely didn't. I looked like me but amplified. I was nervous about false eyelashes, but she found some that looked natural while still making my eyes pop. Two of my bridesmaids never get make-up done for weddings, because of their fear of being caked up. I convinced them to try, and they were so impressed! I would wholeheartedly recommend Renee to any bride wanting to go with a beautiful and enhanced natural look for their wedding day!

de me in the right direction of what would look best. I emailed her a few times between then and the big day with tweaks I wanted to make. On my wedding day she showed up right on time with everything she needed and all smiles. I had 6 bridesmaids, my mother, and myself all get makeup done. One bridesmaid wasn't doing makeup because she never usually wears it, but once she saw how flawless and natural this makeup looked, she decided to join in. We all got airbrush and false eyelashes...both were amazing. Our makeup stayed in place perfectly through all of our sweat, dancing, and tears. We all received so many compliments. Renee really listens to what you want...whether natural beauty or show-stopping glam, she can do it. For those of us who slept in our makeup (whoops) we still looked flawless even the next day! I highly recommend Renee for anything, she truly did an incredible job!

e!) and came completely prepared. My girls don't usually wear makeup and she made them look flawless and naturally beautiful. She did exactly what I asked for at the trial and was very accommodating when I realized the look I chose wasn't a right fit for me and helped suggest what look might work better for me. She even ordered different lashes to use on me to make me feel more comfortable with a less fake-lashes look, while still using the fake lashes! I got so many compliments on my wedding day and I'm so happy I didn't look like a clown, very natural and my skin photographed beautifully. She even covered my large area of hyperpigmentation on my forehead, which was a huge concern of mine. Excellent job!

She did my make-up (Bride) for my wedding on June 20th. As well as all my bridesmaids, and the mothers make-up. She is talented, professional, organized, calming, and just an all-round great person to have with you on your wedding day!! She listened to what every person wanted and executed it flawlessly. I LOVED my make-up. It was gorgeous but natural (exactly what I wanted) and stayed on all night. I looked like myself, but the best version of myself! I would highly recommend Renee to everyone!

s punctual and professional and calm, all of which were very important. She did a fabulous job making us all look like prettier versions of ourselves, and she smelled good (very important when someone is leaning over you for a half hour). Our makeup was clean, it stayed on all day during a July wedding, and it was lovely without being over the top. I would recommend Renee to anyone.

ds. Choosing a makeup artist can be quite challenging. In my opinion most artists stick with one unique style but Renee has the ability to adapt and quickly change styles based on personal preference and needs. I believe this is a difficult and skilled task. I am confident that Renee can work with any individual. I recommend her with high regards.

stens to what you want for your big day. I wanted a more natural look but have my eyes stand out, and she did just that. She makes sure you are getting exactly what you are looking for! I was super nervous about choosing someone for makeup because you never really know how it's going to end up, and the last thing you want is to hate how you look. But trust me- Renee is so great! You will not regret booking her for any event! And the price is very reasonable too :)

luding my mother who is hard to please :) I was able to bring my hairstylist to Renee's house to complete both trials at once which was so nice of her to agree to. I showed her a picture from pintrest and she nailed it on the head. I honestly still cant not believe how beautiful she made me look that day and will never forget it!

ake up still looked flawless! She does airbrush and eyelashes for her price as well! She did exactly what we all wanted! Even my bridesmaids wanted to book her for their weddings! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at her job!

d the makeup looked beautiful! She even allowed my mother to come for a trial one day because my mom was concerned about having a reaction to any makeup used. My mom loved how flexible she was and how comfortable she made her feel. Renee came out to my parents house to do the makeup for myself and all the girls in the wedding party, including a little lip gloss for the flower girl, which made her feel so included and happy, she loved her lipgloss!! Our makeup came out fantastic, everyone looked stunning! All our guests commented on how everyone's makeup looked so beautiful.

wledgeable about which colors would work well with my skin tone, hair & eye color. I went with more natural makeup than usual on my wedding day, and I felt absolutely flawless all evening. I know a bit about makeup and my favorite colors, and Renee and I had lengthy conversations about which colors I wanted to choose, but even if you know nothing about makeup, you can show Renee a picture or just ask for her advice- I promise you won't be disappointed! Two of my bridesmaids were going to do their own makeup to avoid the extra cost, but once they saw the gorgeous job Renee was doing on the other girls, they changed their minds at the last minute & asked if she could squeeze them in! (she graciously did). Renee is very professional and talented, and she's a great person to have around on your wedding day too! For you budget conscious brides (like me), you can't get better value either. Highly, highly recommend! PS- the airbrush is sooo worth it. THANKS Renee!

ictured you looking as a bride." She listened to everything I had to said and used her incredible talent to make myself and my bridal party feel absolutely beautiful. She worked with each of us individually (some of us wear full makeup everyday while others very rarely wear makeup) and made us feel completely comfortable. I can't say enough about Renee...she is simply the best!!

the make-up for the bridal party. Everyone was thrilled with their make-up and eyelashes! Renee is extremely easy to work with, relaxed and very comfortable to be around on your special day.

excited to start working with us, she was just like another friend coming to do our makeup although it was only the 2nd time meeting with her, my trial being the first. Some of my bridesmaids were curious about the look of “airbrush” that we were all going to get. After application, everyone was shocked how amazing and flawless they looked and the makeup really brought out our eyes and smiles! Airbrush is so light and natural looking. She made all the girls feel relaxed, comfortable and confident that their makeup would look perfect. Fake eyelashes polished off our look. Even my mom, who is usually very natural, loved her airbrush and eyelashes! Renee worked directly with my hair stylist to create a time schedule for us 7 girls; that made it easier for me because it was another detail that I did not have to worry about. I highly recommend her for any event you are planning and especially your wedding! I received so many compliments about how beautiful I looked and it was all due to the fact of my amazing makeup! Even my groom pointed out how beautiful my makeup looked! If I could only hire Renee for my everyday look… ;)

yone beautiful. I told her I wanted a natural look, using neutral colors, and she made us all look flawless. What I liked best, is that she knew what would look good with my skin tone, eye, and hair color. Renee gave our bride a makeup trial, so she knew exactly how she wanted to look. She gave us all such confidence, and is such a sweet girl on top of her talent. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She is worth every cent, I wish I had her to do my makeup everyday!

oming from a girl who barely wears makeup it feels comfortable & looks natural. I would highly recommend her services!

someone do it for me. I asked for a natural look, and Renee did a fantastic job granting my wishes. I had a mini-destination wedding up in Kennebunkport, ME, along with a ginormous wedding party, and Renee had no issue with either aspect. All of my bridesmaids and my mother were all thrilled with their make-up, as well. I would absolutely hire Renee again, and highly recommend her to others!

th natural makeup and another picture of a bride with a little more makeup than I was used to. I loved the look of the second picture, but was nervous about looking too made up. Renee was wonderful and started with the natural look and gradually added more, checking in with me along the way to make sure I was comfortable. The end result was perfect! My skin has never looked better and my eyes popped beautifully. She accurately re-created the look on my wedding day. I highly recommend The True You!

le night !

care needs (e.g., allergies, girls who don't wear a ton of makeup, etc.) while still making everyone look consistent. Our makeup stayed on all night and I was so thrilled with how everyone looked! Thank you, Renee!

nervous nelly about having her makeup done because she hardly wears any and she was nervous she wouldn't look like herself after the makeup application. Renee was so calm the day of my wedding that her wonderful energy was able to calm my mother's nerves and she ended up loving her makeup! I really must emphasize that Renee is the consumate professional...she is very confident in her skills as a makeup artist, which are really tremendous...and she is very calm and efficient, I had not one worry about my makeup or my wedding party's makeup on the day of my wedding. As the bride I had my makeup airbrushed, which was completely worth it. My makeup came out awesome and Renee was even able to cover a few blemishes I had on the day of the wedding, they were invisible. My makeup stayed on all day and did not move one millimeter. I was sweating while I was dancing but my makeup stayed on! Renee also gave me a really pretty lip gloss which I applied a few times throughout the day and it looked great in pictures. I highly recommend Renee and would hire her again in a second for any other formal events in the future. Thank you Renee!!

features. Didn't think I could look that good. I look forward to working with Renee again at my sister's wedding!
