Tracey Updon is absolutely the BEST! Her work is BEAUTIFUL. I hired Tracey to do my makeup for my wedding and I could not have been happier She is an absolute joy to work with!
Tracey was super professional, fun and listened to everything I s...
aid I wanted and didn’t want. She has an amazing spirit and positive energy.
My wedding and my wedding pictures were perfect!
I was very skeptical about getting my make-up professionally done, but Tracey calmed my fears and made the trial a great experience. She was by far the best. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, thank you Tracey! I highly recommend her!

Hi Shelby!! Thank you so much for this kind review. I truly hope we can work together again soon for your next special occasion.
Words cannot begin to express how amazing Tracey is with makeup. She did my makeup along with my two teenage daughters and she made all three of us the most beautiful we have ever been. Make sure you do a pre-wedding trial with her because she ...
picked up on a skin discoloring issue I had from an accident that I suffered almost two years ago that, while it isn't visible without makeup, turned part of my left eye greenish. The makeup trial allowed her to identify this issue so she was prepared to handle it on "game day". She is punctual and totally professional without being stuffy. I swear she reversed the clock 25 years and made me look even better than on my original wedding day 25 years ago. She is our go-to person going forward for all of our special events. Thank you, Tracey! You really are the best ever!

Meemansa, thank you so much for this kind review. It was my pleasure to serve you all.
Tracey was incredible! On time, professional and flexible! She listens to what you want and the makeup wasn't cakey and lasted all night. She is a master of matching skin to foundation and even brought her own style chairs to the venue. Highly ...
recommend her. We had more than 10 people who needed makeup done so she hired an assistant who backed out last minute, but I can't blame her for that. My planner was able to find help last-minute. Highly recommend Tracey for any event!
Tracey was amazing, she did myself and 5 others in a timely manner. Her makeup lasted all night long. She is very professional and granted all my wishes with my colors. I highly recommend Tracey for all special occasions or if u just want a pre...
tty face. I can't wait to book another session with her!
I had 2 makeup artists in a row ghost me! 2 weeks before the wedding I found Tracey was available. The minute I met her for the makeup trial I knew she was going to be perfect. She was so professional. You could tell she loves what she does and...

Tracey is the most amazing makeup artist. She knows exactly what features to bring out in each person. The make up she did for my daughter was stunning. Having your make up done is such a close up and personal experience and Tracey has such a k...

Tracey is hands down a one of a kind makeup artist. Not only did she do my trial makeup the day of my bridal shower leaving me feeling absolutely flawless and prettier than I had ever felt in my own skin. But she when above and beyond the day o...
f my wedding. When she found out I was having a first look with my brother, father, and Ryan she volunteered to stick around till it was done so she could touch up from fallen happy tears. Her sticking around was no where where in our contract and she was long done by the time I would be done. But how sweet it was she stayed to do my final touch up before walking down the alter. She’ll never know how such a thoughtful gesture meant to me. Tracey is so sweet, easy going, professional, and very talented.
She did great work for me at my friends wedding. Would definitely get my makeup done by her again.
Tracey is a wonderful makeup artist! I did a makeup trial with her for our wedding and she made sure she took her time to pick out the perfect colors for me. On the day of our wedding, my makeup was flawless! Tracey made me feel so beautiful an...

On time and pays attention to detail. She did makeup on all my bridesmaids, mother, and a friend. We all looked stunning. The makeup was natural. That was important but we all looked glamorous. Will definitely hire her again.
Tracey was WONDERFUL! She was so helpful from the very beginning with all of my questions and hesitations. I am not a big make up person and I have never had my make up done before. Tracey is so talented! She made me look and feel just like mys...

I was lucky to have Tracey to do the makeup for my June 2017 wedding. She was very sweet, knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. From the day of the makeup trial to the day of the wedding, she was exceptional. She made me, my br...
idesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law look and feel beautiful! I know my day wouldn't have been the same without her.
Tracey recently did my makeup for a family photo shoot and my makeup looked amazing in person and in photos! Tracey is a true professional. I wish I had the opportunity to have my makeup done more often by her!

estions. I received so many compliments on my makeup the day of the wedding. *Bonus- you get to listen to Spice Girls during your makeup application and if that doesn't make you happy, I don't know what can.
Tracey was AMAZING!
She listened to what I wanted and I felt soooo beautiful on my wedding day. My mom and mother in law HATE make up and she made them comfortable and beautiful as well. Would reccommend hands down for any special occasion as ...
she was the best choice for me!
Tracey is an absolute angel. She made me feel like a princess from the first day we began wedding makeup trials. She made me feel glamourous and stunning on my big day.
The first thing I would like to say is Tracey is amazing at what she does! What sold me on her was her calming personality that I knew I would need for my special day! She is extremely talented and went above and beyond with my trial and all th...

ure to work with. I highly recommend her services to anyone!
Where do i start.....I am a hair stylist and I got married Friday Sept 9,2016. Tracey did an absolutely fabulous job on my make up. I am a woman that isn't a big fan of a lot of makeup and after Tracey was done working her magic it didn't feel ...
like i had very much on. It was flawless and fierce. Thank you Thank you Thank you Tracey. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
I booked Tracey to do my makeup for my boudoir and engagement photos along with my wedding. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and such a sweet person to work with throughout the entire process. We had a morning wedding ceremony - s...
o, hair and makeup started at 5:00 AM. However, her and her assistant showed up on time with high-energy and everything they needed to get started. They finished all six of my bridesmaids and myself in time for photos before the ceremony. Tracey even stayed for an hour after the photos and ceremony for any possible touch-ups that were needed - and, there weren't any since her makeup application was so flawless! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I highly recommend her for any bride looking to feel pampered and receive flawless makeup!
Tracey was amazing! I cannot speak highly enough about the work that she did for my wedding. I considered myself to be a low maintenance bride, and didn't know exactly what I wanted in terms of make-up for my wedding. During our make-up tria...
l, Tracey gave me so many ideas, and was so patient when listening to the different ideas I came up with. Based on what little information I gave her, she did an incredible job during the trial session. On the day of my wedding, she helped calm my nerves and did an incredible job. I received compliments all evening on my make-up and the pictures turned out so well, even after hours of dancing! The make-up didn't smudge and lasted all night. I would recommend Tracey to a bride, bridal party, and just for fun. She is extremely professional and is truly an artist. Thank you, Tracey!
Tracey was AMAZING. I had TEN bridesmaids, and she did such a great job making everyone look/feel beautiful. She came highly recommended, and I was not disappointed. I have already had multiple people ask me for her number!
Tracey was wonderful and I am so glad to have had her do make up for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. I felt glamorous and beautiful without looking over done. Tracey worked with each of my maids to provide them with a look that they we...
re comfortable with and loved. She was able to take my vague ideas and execute with perfection. She was timely and efficient on the day of timeline, and kept a calm during all the wedding jitters. At the end of my night after over twelves hours my makeup was still just as perfect as it was from that morning. Thank you so much Tracey!
My mother and I met Tracey at a bridal show in St. Augustine and we were absolutely drawn to her! We walked by her booth several times and kept going back. We finally stopped, I watched her do a makeup application on a model and my mother talke...
d to her mother . We were hooked! At that time it was February of 2014, I was newly engaged and at my fiancee and I did not have a confirmed wedding date but Tracey was the first person I booked! I picked a look for my makeup trial and she completely nailed what I was going for. She is absolutely amazing, my mother and I bonded with her and we are super excited to see her again for my wedding this July!
Tracey was absolutely amazing! I had 6 bridesmaids and she still had all of us looking our best and on time! She even helped my cousin (who wasn't part of the bridal party) put on her eyelashes. Tracey helped me get ready for my engagement shoo...
t, boudoir shoot, and my wedding and through it all she remained friendly, personable, professional, and she nailed the look everytime. I give her the highest recommendation that I can offer. Thank you so much Tracey!!

Thank you so much for this glowing review!! Anytime you need me, I'll be there. Best wishes to you and your beautiful family. ❤️
Amazing service! All my girls & I looked so great on my wedding day! They also did a nice job of making sure all of our makeup was different, but still similar at the same time. I would definitely recommend to anyone :)
Response from the Vendor on 04/15/2016
Thank you, Haley. You and your girls were such a pleasure to work with. Best wishes to you and your family! ❤️
I am a GIRLY girl. I do my own, full face of makeup including winged liquid liner and lashes everyday. At my trial, I brought my fresh-faced mother because I was convinced that I'd do my own makeup for my wedding. Tracey convinced me otherwi...
se and I'm so glad she did! I looked beautiful after that trial- a natural, glowing glamour. What she told me was right- your wedding is a day when every bride should pampered and we booked her immediately.
Tracey arrived on-time at 6am to begin my bridal party for our 2pm ceremony. She was oganized, friendly, and fit in immediately with my large family. Amidst all the craziness of that morning, Tracey maintained her composure and made my girls and me look and feel ready for my big day. Tracey was able to quickly transition between different skin tones and ages and her expertise was evident. She also had a huge range of high-end products from Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Becca, and MUFE. Book Tracey now, before someone else does!
Thanks again Tracey! xoxo
I adore Tracy and her work is incredible. She makes sure that her client is satisfied before leaving.
Tracey is extremely professional and nails the look every time!
I was referred to Tracey as a make up artist a little over a month before my wedding after my original artist couldn't meet the date. Tracey was very professional and prompt in responding to my questions for doing make up for my eight bridesmai...
ds and I on my special day. Tracey also assured me that she could create the type of make up style I wanted and was able to do this perfectly. On my wedding day, Tracy and her assistant arrived early with all the necessary make up to complete everyone's face and even finished a little early I really enjoyed working with Tracy and would highly recommend her to other brides.
Her work is amazing! Everyone looked beautiful, if I could give a million stars I would! Excellent service
Tracey is truly a phenomenal makeup artist. I was very iffy about having my makeup professionally done until a friend referred me to Tracey's website. After perusing through her gallery, I was convinced that I needed her touch. During the trial...
, Tracey paid attention to everything I wanted to emphasize and boy did she deliver. She applied makeup to myself and 6 bridesmaids in record time. I still look at our photos to this day and all I can reflect upon is how beautiful and radiant I looked. Book Tracey for your wedding. You won't be disappointed.
Tracey is so sweet, and is an amazing makeup artist. She really listened to how I wanted my makeup to look and did a perfect job of making me look beautiful, but still look like myself. My makeup stayed on for the entire evening and looked gr...
