I got married last Sunday and four days before my wedding my HMUA flaked out on me, I went in to panic mode. Got on The Knot and started reading reviews and looking at before and a...fter photos. Unique and Flawless stood out because of how many amazing reviews Andrea had and more importantly her photos showed her talent. I’m an older bride, 45 and some lol, so I need more help than the 24 year old naturally gorgeous bride with already flawless skin haha. I messaged her for a long shot that she’d even been available on such short notice and she called me within 20 minutes.
We talked for a few minutes and all of that panic dissipated, she’s the kindest and hardest working woman and she assured me that even tho she had three other commitments that weekend she would make it happen because every bride deserves to feel beautiful on her wedding day and doesn’t need any extra stress, so I booked her.
Her and Terri showed up early and set up in our bridal salon and got to work. It’s incredible how quickly they work and the magic they do! They started with my bridesmaids and then got to me last so my makeup and hair was as fresh as could be before the ceremony. It wasn’t super hot that day but it definitely was warm out. I was worried about looking old in the sun and my makeup sweating off, but it didn’t. Even after all my crying it stayed put beautifully! My hair looked so pretty and my girls all looked amazing too! Andrea even did my MIL’s makeup and she looked stunning. Gotta love that airbrush makeup, it did wonders for all of us!!
I didn’t realize how important having a PROFESSIONAL HMUA was until it was almost too late. I couldn’t fathom spending the money for someone else to do my makeup but paid big bucks for a photographer when it dawned on me, what if I look all sweaty and blotchy in all my wedding photos lol can’t have that! I learned a valuable lesson, when it’s your big day, feeling beautiful makes you shine the whole day and night thru and that is PRICELESS!
Andrea doesn’t even charge as much as some others and I’m so grateful I chose her because she’s an absolute professional and loves what she does and it shows. I promise you will be happy with Andrea and her team, if you’re not then maybe you’re not a reasonable person lol. One of her reviews that got me was a bride saying how sad she was to take her make up off at the end of the night because of how beautiful she felt and I totally understood that the night of my wedding too. It’s magical how she transforms you into the perfect you, not caked on over the top dramatic but the natural as can be with a tad of glamorous perfect for your wedding day you!
When my husband saw me for the first time he cried and that was sexy as hell to me. If Andrea can help this old lady look stunning enough for her man to shed tears then she can do it for you too! Congratulations on getting married!
