A friend had used WarPaint for her wedding and suggested I reach out. I am so glad she did! Jessica was amazing from day one. She set up a phone meeting with me to discuss everything I was looking for. I do not live in MN and she was able to work with me to set up my bridal trial when I was going to be in MN. She was also so understanding with the timeline and getting all the girls fit into the schedule. Now for my make up and hair Taylor was AMAZING. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I kept getting compliments! The team that Jessica assembled for my bridesmaids was just as good! Everyone looked so good!

Lucky we got availability so last minute, my sister convinced me to book since I was going to do my own hair and makeup for my wedding and my sister thought I was crazy. Taylor came and did a trial for my hair, I loved it! Day of she did makeup for my sister, hair and makeup for one of my sister-in-laws, and hair on me and it was a very smart decision. Hate to admit it but my older sister was right...

On the wedding day, Danielle, Chloe, and Shayla were absolutely kind, punctual, and amazing. (Special shout-out to Danielle for being so accommodating, professional, and genuinely kind). They styled my hair and makeup and my nine bridesmaids incredibly efficiently without making anyone feel rushed, their work was flawless. The makeup lasted all night long and looked awesome in pictures. They also took time to make sure every bridesmaid loved their look, paying attention to even the smallest details. My girls were beaming and truly felt beautiful and confident!
I highly recommend them to any bride looking for an exceptional hair and makeup team and I'm SO glad I found them.

up artist, Alma, was so attentive to my needs and helped me with touch-ups after the ceremony - because there were a lot of happy tears! Our hairstylists, Keely and Kathleen, also went above and beyond. Keely took on an unexpected task of helping me into my headpiece for the ceremony. Kathleen also helped with an unexpected task of fixing up the groom's hair after the ceremony, which got a bit undone when he changed from ceremony attire to reception attire. Overall, not only did these ladies do an incredible job, but they made us all feel taken care of and special on such an important day.

as the artist I worked with and I can’t say enough great things about her! Working with her for our engagement photos and my wedding HMU trial, she took the time to ask detailed questions and fully understand what I wanted/the look I was going for. She was great at communicating and providing a safe space for me to give feedback on what I liked/didn’t like, took detailed notes and photos, and made sure I loved the final result. On the day of my wedding, she was such a calming presence and helped me through the roller coaster of emotions you have as you’re getting ready for your wedding. She made me feel comfortable, listened to feedback, and made sure I was completely happy with my final look. We just got our photos back and I am obsessed with how my hair and makeup turned out and how it lasted all day! I can’t recommend Amanda enough for her skills but also her as a person! The rest of the team did an amazing job the day of, my bridesmaids and mothers all looked beautiful, they were on time, and professional, and made the morning run smoothly! WPI was great to work with from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to any future brides!

Alexa did my Bridal HMU and trial and achieved exactly the look I wanted. At the trial, I showed her a few inspiration photos and she asked plenty of questions to curate my look. We noted a few tweaks from the trial to make on the Wedding Day and Alexa DELIVERED! Kathleen and Tia did hair which looked great on my gals. Paulina's make-up services were astounding. My gals typically do not wear full-face/glam and Paulina did a great job of accentuating everyone's natural beauty and features. I worked with Mia for the initial consult and booking.

We had WPI do hair and makeup for our wedding and I could not be more sissified with the experience! We got married on a Sunday and we wanted artists to come us and WPI were able a...
nd willing. Shayla was the artist who did my bridal hair and makeup. She came to my home for the trial and she kindly suggested things for me to try and reminded me that if I didn't like anything, I didn't have to do it the day of but I wouldn't know until I tried. I am so grateful because her suggestions were great and helped me look and feel my best of the day. The few changes we made came out perfectly on my wedding day! Mariah, my contact at WPI, was also helpful and it was so great that she made the hair and makeup schedule for us which is one less thing for me to worry about. We also had Danielle and Mackenzie with us on the wedding day to do hair and makeup for friends and family, they were both fun, nice and did a great job, everyone was happy! Thank you WPI! Would 100% recommend.

I cannot recommend WarPaint enough! From start to finish working with Mia, the process was a breeze. I am so glad I had Mackenzie as my artist for my wedding day. Not only was she ...
very nice and personable, but she also was an amazing makeup artist. She did such an amazing job with both my makeup and my bridesmaids and made us all feel stunning. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat! My cousin who is getting married in May 2025, and was my maid of honor, loved Mackenzie and the work she did so much that she is looking into having her for her wedding day as well. Thank you Mia and Mackenzie for all of your hard work making my big day perfect! ♥️

Thank you, Warpaint International (WPI), my makeup and hair artisan Nicole, and Mariah Jere for making my special day pretty much stress-free. I looked beautiful. (She said humbly...
... haha!)
I don’t wear a lot of makeup so first I made an appointment for a consultation at the beauty counter of a major department store, and spent a lot of money on a lot of products. I practiced the application, but the makeup didn’t wear well, and I was pretty stressed about how I’d look on my wedding day and how I’d photograph.
My assigned WPI makeup and hair artist was Nicole. She reviewed my WPI style quiz and photos, and knew what I was looking for and delivered! I really appreciated the value of the trial; my makeup looked great after the trial, but it didn't have the staying power due to my oily skin. I gave that feedback to Nicole and she made some adjustments on the wedding day - my makeup looked great for hours!
Feedback on WPI:
I LOVED Nicole! Wow - her talent aside, she is a lovely, warm, kind and beautiful human being. She was so easy to talk to, she "got me", and she's incredibly talented as an artist. The day of the wedding I knew I was in great hands and this allowed me to relax and enjoy the moments.
In addition to the end result, my coordinator Mariah Jere was professional and communications were timely. Her communication was clear and I knew what and when each next step was, what was expected of me, what I could expect from the WPI team.
If you are even thinking about WPI for your wedding, I encourage you to at least have the initial chat. Their talent, skills and services are worth every penny.

I never leave reviews, however, I know in planning a wedding the reviews are important in choosing your vendor. Personally, I did not feel the quality of services met my expectatio...
ns. I do not feel both the hair and makeup artists were up to the latest techniques in their craft. For example, the hair stylist only utilized hair spray and brought no further products. One of my bridesmaids looked like she took a shower with the amount of hair spray the hair stylist used and she had to tell the stylist to stop spraying her hair and redid it. Additionally, multiple bridesmaids had to redo their makeup or touch it up. Further, after getting my photos back my eyeshadow looked like it was from the 80s and my skin looked uneven. Overall, I was recommended by my venue, and it's nice when you need multiple artists to handle your bridal party. However, in hindsight I wish I would've found artists that were more up to date with the techniques, even if that meant finding individuals rather than using one company. I personally would not recommend WPI.
Response from WarPaint International Beauty Agency
Danielle, we are so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and are a bit taken ...
a back as we were not aware until now that you and your party were unhappy with the services you received. It is our greatest honor and privilege to be a part of our client's most special occasions and we take pride in being a leader in our industry. It weighs heavy on us to hear that you and your party did not receive the service you (and we) expect. One of our company's values is staying up on current beauty trends in order to deliver outstanding hair/makeup results. We provide continuing education for our team in order to keep their skills sharp and on the cutting edge. It's shocking to hear that you and your party felt their skills were outdated. I am taking your comments seriously and will be investigating further in order to ensure we are upholding our values. That said, it is worth mentioning here that based on some feedback from my artisans it sounds like some of the party did not follow the prep instructions we provided which definitely would have been a contributing factor to the outcome of the hairstyles. The team would have also been more than happy to make any adjustments to the hairstyles or makeup in order to get it just right, provided feedback was shared with them. Lastly, during our hiring process we have our artisans go through a technical interview. As a part of this step we review their kits to make sure they have all of the products/tools needed to perform any style/makeup requested. Sometimes at jobs artisans don't take out every product they have in their kit, and only will set out what they feel they need. It's likely that this was the case here. At any rate, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience and we will be investigating further. We appreciate your business and hope you had a wonderful wedding day despite some of these challenges. Wishing you all the best, Team WPI

WarPaint International was very professional from finding a make up team for my wedding. Myself and bridal party were not a group of women who know makeup very well and the artist ...
helped us all look our best! The artist (Evelyn) knew how to highlight each woman's beauty and bring it out to shine. Absolutely fantastic in communication and professionalism. Explained everything that was offered and how each step in the process would work. I felt very comfortable with the make up artist (Evelyn) and would for sure book again if I need more make up services.

I worked with WarPaint International for my wedding hair and makeup earlier this summer and had a truly amazing experience.
Mia did my makeup and was so sweet, professional and g...
reat at her craft! She listened carefully to me during the trial and made sure to check in throughout the process to ensure she was doing my makeup the way I wanted. On the actual wedding day, she killed it not only for me, but for my bridesmaids and my mom. My mom specifically loved Mia's kindness and talent. She couldn't believe how good she looked while still looking like herself!
Tia did an a gorgeous job on my hair. During the trial we had to make a few adjustments along the way, and she was so patient and kind throughout even though we had to start over on some sections. I also had some sentimental hairpins made of paper flowers that I wanted included in the look, and Tia was so gentle with them and put them in my hair flawlessly. She also did all of my bridesmaids' hair and they all looked stunning. Tia went above and beyond after our hair was finished and helped me put on my shoes during and necklace when we couldn't get the clasp to open.
Finally, Mariah was an excellent coordinator throughout the whole process. She answered all of my questions and kept me up to date on the details with my artisans, trial, and day-of timeline.
Thank you Mia, Tia and Mariah for making me feel so gorgeous on my wedding day! I would 100% recommend using WarPaint for your wedding beauty needs!
