True Beauty Marks

ully to what I wanted, formed a plan, tried it out, tweaked what did and didn't work, and made sure I was absolutely happy with my look on my big day. On top of that, she accommodated my weird constraints for a trial run (I live in CA and wasn't in Pennsylvania til 2 days before the wedding), made my whole family look good (my teenagers were thrilled with their wedding hair!! as was my long-haired partner!!), AND even helped my makeup-shy bridesmaids with a look that worked for them. I really can't overemphasize how kind, caring and professional Kiersten was. ALSO, I am an older bride... Kiersten made me look so youthful and fresh that people kept asking my very slightly older sister if she was my mom, haha.

ces needed with such grace. They took their time with me (the bride) and my mom and were so accommodating to any requests we had. Not only did I feel more beautiful than I ever have in my life while still looking like myself, but I was calm and on time - a true feat for a wedding day! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

From the moment I met her at my makeup trial she made me feel so at home. She was so easy to talk to and knew exactly the vision that I was going for. They specialize in natural looking makeup, so for someone that doesn't wear much makeup on a day to day basis (and I'm a little picky) I was a little worried going into it. She KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!! And that was just my trial?!?! OMG I couldn't wait for the wedding day. And as expected, of course she delivered on the big day as well. I have never felt more beautiful than that moment. Brittany and the other stylist (sorry I forgot your name with all of the commotion of the day!!!) were also so good with all of the bridesmaids/flower girls/and my mom. They were hands down one of the best parts of my wedding day, and I would highly recommend them to ANYONE!!!

ions that made me feel comfortable and beautiful! On the day of she was calming and kind! Kate helped with my guests' hair too. They were both great to work with and I would recommend them for anyone's bridal hair and makeup!

me, made everyone feel comfortable, and brought such a calm, positive energy to the day. Most importantly, they made everyone look and feel their absolute best. Their attention to detail and ability to enhance each person’s natural beauty was truly impressive. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a flawless beauty experience!

a great experience from the initial trial through the end of the wedding day. I worked with Ashley D, and she was so so wonderful. She made me feel very comfortable during the hair and makeup trial....asking me how I want to feel on my wedding day, while also sharing her expertise. I do not wear heavy makeup and wanted to feel comfortable and myself, while also feeling like it was a step up from my every day look. Ashley did just that! We worked with Christina and the team on the backend, with email communications and details. Christina was so helpful and so quick with getting back to me...we were just able to show up on the wedding day, and get things started smoothly and stress free, because of all her organization leading up to the day. All the people in my party looked and felt beautiful. I did not need to touch my face or hair at any point during the night, and I have continued to get compliments on how great everything looked. I recommend True Beauty Marks to any wedding...and I hope to use them again for future special photos. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!!

d result and would recommend both TBM and Groomed for any wedding!

r looked great. Brooke did my hair and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. I had asked her to make a few changes to my hairstyle from my hair trial with her a few months prior, and she was so receptive to my feedback and incorporated the changes exactly the way I had envisioned. Couldn't recommend more highly!

e feel and look so beautiful! Our makeup lasted all night! Brittany got my vision for my makeup and the look I wanted with my bridesmaids flawlessly. I am so happy with the outcome and felt amazing on my wedding day!

mend.

beyond to make me her top priority. She was with me the entire morning and up until I walked down the aisle to make sure I looked perfect. She even took some pretty amazing pictures! Ashley, Brooke, and Rachel were the best crew for my girls and I. They were very timely and we all looked amazing. My girls were so happy with their hair and makeup. True Beauty Marks was reasonably priced and super easy to work with. If you want to love the way you and your girls look for your wedding then book these amazing artists! I can’t recommend them enough!

r wedding day. They were extremely sensitive to our needs and vision and carried it out perfectly. My daughter looked beautiful and we all enjoyed the experience!

ment I contacted TBM, the responses were immediate, organized, helpful & easy to work with. TBM has numerous glowing reviews & their website is so fun & easy to interact with! I am a New Yorker who instantly fell in love with a Philly venue, so I chose to have all of my vendors be associated with my venue. TBM was the first recommended hair & makeup team that caught my eye. The first time in the studio, I felt a calm, confident feeling (loving all of the natural light in the studio!). Meeting with Gina for the first time, I quickly learned that she was the most patient, calm, professional & understanding professional makeup & hair artist that I’ve ever worked with before. Gina was so knowledgeable, so human & so beyond talented. Gina is one of those vendors that you miss after the wedding is over! Gina also taught me so much about hair & makeup throughout this whole process. I had two makeup & hair trials by choice with Gina, and with each, she was incredibly patient, honest, calm & maintained a beautiful energy about her. She kept that beautiful, genuine demeanor while remaining completely focused & ensuring in entirety that I was calm, happy, knew every single product & detail of what she was applying to my hair & face. Planning a wedding (especially in a different state) can be overwhelming, but Gina & her team were the people who made it comfortable & calm. Gina & her team made not only myself as the bride, but my family, flower girls & best friends like absolute QUEENS. The day of my wedding, Gina & her team worked with myself, my family (including two flower girls) & my best friends. Gina’s team even accommodated my mother-in-law in an ADA compliant space, which was incredibly helpful & very much appreciated. As I walked around the bridal suite the morning of my wedding, Gina & her team were already all there, happy, calm & ready to go. I watched each my beautiful family members, flower girls & friends happily connecting with each artist & just absolutely glowing with each specific gorgeous look that they chose. When Gina began working with me, I was feeling overwhelmed about a wedding detail that was going array. As this concern was being addressed, Gina not only completed my hair & makeup, made me feel like an absolute goddess - really an absolute goddess! But she started giving me a head massage & said to me, do you hear those birds chirping? As I actively listened to Gina, she completely & totally centered me. That is always a moment I will appreciate as a bride, because there are always a million little things going on around you. That completely centered me (while again, being made into a goddess at the same time!) Gina went ABOVE & BEYOND by helping, advocating & making sure that I was feeling my best. Gina helped me & my other vendors with what was going array in the midst of going above & beyond for not only me, but my whole bridal party. Gina made sure that I was eating & staying hydrated. Gina helped me put my dress on, put my veil on, & stayed at the venue until I was completely comfortable & ready to walk down the aisle. I hope I am painting the picture of exactly the person & team a bride would want & be lucky enough to have on her wedding day. Being a “long distance bride” I had to have so much trust & faith with my vendors. With Gina & TBM, I could not have wished for a better experience. Looking at my wedding “sneak peaks” the makeup & hair is absolutely STUNNING. I genuinely cannot say enough positive things about Gina & TBM. I do know that I’ll never have the accurate enough words to thank Gina & her whole team for how hard they work. Thank you for making me feel like an absolute goddess queen as a bride, taking care of me & making sure my entire bridal party was glowing. I HIGHLY recommend Gina & TBM for any & all makeup & hair needs!

completely at ease on wedding day. She was enthusiastic and professional, and was completely okay with me changing my mind about my hair on the day of the wedding (oops!). Our mothers and sisters absolutely loved her as well-- we were so impressed by her ability to work with each of their unique hair textures and make them all look so beautiful. With the amount of happy tears we all shed on wedding day, it is a true testament to her talent that I did not need to touch up my make up at all!

e Beauty Marks completely changed the game for us all! From contract signing to preview appointment to wedding day - I have no notes. Everything was incredible. All my girls did airbrush makeup which they’ve never done before and absolutely LOVED! They all looked so natural and beautiful and did not have to touch up their faces at all. Hair maintained throughout the night especially with the windiest ceremony I’ve ever attended. Gina is a professional boss lady and her energy matched my group perfectly. All the artists she has with her were the same level of professionalism and talent! So not hesitate - if you want to look and feel like an elevated version of yourself and never fear the C word (cakey) book ASAP!! I especially loved the mini gloss Gina made for me for both my rehearsal and wedding night. I used them all throughout my honeymoon taking a piece and look from my wedding with me. Also all the products Gina suggested I get ahead of time were game changer since I have naturally curly hair and went with a straightened look - all the products saved my hair from the humidity and wind!! I will be using them all from now on. I feel so lucky to have chosen correctly and worked with these bada** women!!!

basis so she helped create a very minimal look that suited me! On the day of, her and Celia were great to me, my bridesmaids, and all of my family members. They were entirely on schedule and we didn't run at all behind. Everyone looked so great! Would highly recommend!

e at my preview and I was so confident with my look- natural and elevated every day just like we had discussed. Christina and Kiersten were so great with responding to emails and having discussions about what services were available and which ones would be best suited for my bridal party. When the big day finally came, I decided to switch my hair from half up to low bun and Kiersten was completely on board and flexible. My bridal party looked amazing ALL night - all of our makeup looked the same at the end of the night and our hair held up perfectly. Absolutely go with True Beauty Marks- they're the best!!

at suggestions for my trial, despite me knowing very little about hair and makeup and being somewhat unprepared. I was so happy with the look she came up with and felt beautiful the day of my wedding! Adriana also did hair for my mom, all of my bridesmaids and we had Melina as a second artist on make-up. Everyone in my group loved their look, which made me so happy! Adriana and Melina were both calm, easygoing and fun to be around while getting ready, which was so important to me the morning of my wedding. Between myself and my sister, we have now recommended Adriana to several friends and will continue to since everyone has been so happy with the results!!

Keelan were so great to work with - they are both so nice and easygoing, listened to what everyone wanted, and made our experience really great. Thank you so much!

onal, clean and fun. Gina, Ashley, and Brooke are all so incredibly talented and all my ladies felt confident with both their hair and makeup. Even my friend with really curly hair loved that Brooke had experience with her hair type! For me as a bride, working with Gina was just seamless and relaxing. I knew I was in good hands and just would not have to worry - it was truly worth every penny. She took lots of time at my trial to explain products and different looks - asking about what I liked and did not like, my wedding, the dress and colors, etc. It was wonderful. On the day of my wedding, I felt more beautiful, and still like myself, than I think I ever have before :) it made me so confident on such a special day. I could focus on everything else and enjoying the moment knowing my hair and makeup were beautiful and still in tact! So many compliments all around and could not recommend TBM more.

wanted to make to my look following the trial I had with her and I was so pleased with the hair and makeup and it lasted the whole night with some small touch ups. My mother looked amazing as well and most importantly to me she felt beautiful and comfortable. Everything I could have hoped for as a bride, thanks Brittany, Johanna, and True Beauty Marks!

eeded any touchups during the day! Hair was stunning and makeup looked so natural and gorgeous!

one who doesn't often wear a lot of makeup, she was able to bring my vision to life and I could not have been happier with my look on my wedding day. I would highly recommend!

on the wedding day and fun to talk to. I cried happy tears several times throughout my wedding day, and my makeup didn’t budge at all!

omfortable with the quality of their work from following their instagram for a bit before reaching out for a quote - then the proposal process was so smooth (their admin quality is top notch). Hopefully this won't change in the future, but there was a small volume discount offered as a package for hiring for a certain number of services which I was able to take advantage of. On the day of, the team showed up and was so efficient in doing everyone's hair and makeup and their work was perfect. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup, especially me. I had done the hair and makeup trial before the wedding day and made a couple of tweaks between these 2 days that made me extremely happy with my final look - Brittany was my stylist and she was so thoughtful in her work & accommodating the tweaks. Of note, I always have an issue with eye makeup creasing throughout a day (even when I've gotten other professional makeup before) and Brittany's technique really worked & I had no creasing even after the reception in the tent outside on a hot day. Overall, I highly recommend them!

were all looking for the natural glam look and TBM delivered!!!! I felt so beautiful the day of, while still feeling like my look was staying true to myself. 1000% recommend!

k you so much again for all you did for my wedding Kiersten 🤍🤍
