The True You by Renee LeBlanc

ful 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!

as. 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!

e 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!

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!

keup 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!

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!

ortant. 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.

nion 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.

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 :)

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!

or 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!

me 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.

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!

d 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!!

ir make-up and eyelashes! Renee is extremely easy to work with, relaxed and very comfortable to be around on your special day.

nd 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… ;)

l 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!

looks natural. I would highly recommend her services!

d 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!

ore 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!

up, 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!

ars 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!!

to working with Renee again at my sister's wedding!

l. I have had the pleasure of her doing my makeup not only for my wedding, but for two other weddings I was a bridesmaid in and I am sure we will meet again!

eye for knowing what looks Best and Natural for each individual and not having everyone look exactly the same. Myself, my Mom, and each of my six Bridesmaids natural beauty were enhanced by the colors Renee chose and how she applied the make up to stunning flawless perfection, which is clearly evident in the pictures! We felt so beautiful and confident all day and evening and received many, many compliments on how we looked. I appreciated how calming Renee was during the crazy ‘getting ready’ time and especially grateful that she traveled to my Venue at the Mountain View Grand Resort in Whitefield New Hampshire to do this for me on my Wedding Day. Thank you Renee for a PERFECT experience!!! - Nicole

up and it's the prettiest i've seen my mom look. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!

le and she did a great job with that. I looked flawless! Everyone was just as happy as I was. Renee was on time, precise, personable and professional! I would highly recommend her. After hours of dancing and sweating I still looked as beautiful as I did when she first got done. Thank you for your amazing work!

ers chose just regular makeup application. Each girl looked great and the makeup lasted all night. It was so nice not to have to worry about any sort of a touch up. The makeup wasn't too much and everyone still looked like themselves but looked flawless. I would definitely recommend Renee!

onderful and came out exactly the way I imagined it. It was flawless, beautiful, and stunning. It was a hot day, and the makeup stayed flawless throughout the photo session. By the end of the session, the photographer commented on how beautiful the make up held up and how beautiful the make up was done. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone who has a special day coming up. She is truly a great make up artist. I am so happy I found her for my special days.

Renee without reservation to any bride looking for a makeup artist.

o session, as well for my wedding day...never have I ever felt so beautiful. I could not imagine my wedding day without her...I highly recommend her work to add that little bit of magic to your special day.

anges the day of my wedding, based on my requests, and was more than happy to do so! Renee traveled to us, which made it so easy to get ready with make-up right on site. All of the bridesmaids, as well as my mom looked fabulous. Not once throughout the night did I have to touch up my make-up (minus a little lip gloss!) and it looked incredible in pictures. I am so happy with my experience with The True You and would definitely recommend working with Renee!

dled my makeup, 4 bridesmaids, my mother in law, and the late addition of my mom and aunt, flawlessly and we all looked beautiful. She traveled to my hotel, brought her own makeup chair so we werent struggling to find a good setup for her, and brought a ton of supplies -- but was also willing to use any specific makeup we already owned. I was so impressed with my final look -- thank you Renee for making us all look beautiful!

nd then the day of I asked her to change around a few things and it was no problem. I was very happy with how I looked. She was willing to travel to meet us at the hotel we were staying at. I'm so glad I got referred to Renee!!!

nd lasted the entire day. She made me and my wedding party look beautiful! I just wish she could make me look that good every day! She is so professional and will make you feel at ease. I highly recommend Renee!

sed.

es, not the cheap tacky kind.

made us feel right at home and put any reservations to rest because of what an amazing job she did. She was readily available through email and even was getting 2 weeks before my actual wedding date!! On the day of, she came out to the house and was very professional, arriving before the "scheduled time". She completed myself and my 2 maids of honor (I only had me and my 2 sisters in my bridal party) with time to spare, and even hung out a little while afterwards to give touch ups to me in case of tears (I didn't do a first look with my husband, but did one with my dad and the tears definitely came down!) We received comments all night on how beautiful we looked and the makeup lasted through the night and into the after party too! I am definitely going to recommend her to all my friends in the area! She's the best :)

k, knowing exactly how to achieve the same look on me. She has such a positive spirit and she made me look and feel so incredibly beautiful. My makeup was flawless and it lasted all day...even after dancing. I was constantly asked throughout the day about who did my makeup and how great it looked. Her work was so amazing that my make-up-shy bridesmaid decided she wanted Renee to work with her on the wedding day as well. I could not be more impressed. She truly understands her craft. I'm currently trying to make up a reason to go get my makeup done again!!

trails through high end cosmetic make up artists before my wedding and at the end of each trial I felt like a completely different person--almost unrecognizable. None of these artists even came close to Renee's talent. Renee is extremely professional--she arrived right on schedule at my home and helped make my morning absolutely stress free. Renee also did my two sisters and mother's make up. My mother is not used to wearing much makeup, but was thrilled with the result. She felt comfortable and the make up held up even with the tears! I was very concerned that I wouldn't look myself with too much make up, but also wanted it to show up in pictures. Renee finds the perfect balance--and it was confirmed when I saw my husband's face as he watched me walk down the aisle. I can't recommend Renee and the True You enough!!!

response. So, I met with her a couple months before my wedding for a trial. I had never felt more pretty! I brought some magazine ideas and Renee transformed my face. At that point I knew my entire wedding party would want to use her. On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time and cheerful. Every single person loved her and wished she could do their makeup daily. We all looked beautiful and still so natural - even with false eyelashes. I loved that she came to the hotel for us so we didn't have to drive anywhere else on the big day. I would recommend Renee's services to everyone I know!

edding. I told Renee I wanted a very natural look, and she did a great job of doing that. She made me look flawless without making me look like I was wearing a lot of makeup. Similarly, when she did the makeup the day of the wedding, everyone looked like themselves and were so happy with how their makeup looked. Because there were so many people getting makeup done, we had a very early start to the day, and everyone’s makeup still looked amazing 12 hours later when the wedding ended. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with Renee. She is professional, is phenomenal at what she does, and so sweet. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a make-up artist on their special day!

, I felt beautiful, glamorous and most of all confident and camera ready! All my best,Lisa Campoxoxo
