vanity instead of self-care and Wendy has really empowered me to take better care of the skin I'm in. I started seeing her before my wedding and still see her to keep my skin looking nice. As for all things wedding, she was also a wonderful teacher, friend, and sounding board. Wendy's been through many more weddings than most of us, and she's got an eye. She hooked me up with my hairstylist, and was nothing but professional (and flexible) with my schedule, payments and communications. In everything leading up to the wedding, I never had to worry about Wendy, I knew she had my back, and she even offered to bring bagels the morning of my wedding! She gave skin recommendations to all the women in my wedding and really made us look and feel our best.

on’t wear makeup ever so I loved how natural I looked but we got to play with different levels and she showed me what I could look like for an evening reception. Her skincare regimens saved my life (and skin!) so that I didn’t have acne for the wedding and I really felt like my face glowed! Most importantly - we had to cancel our wedding in the spring and Wendy was SO incredibly flexible and accommodating with us. She ended up working with us for our small outdoor ceremony and came super early in the morning. She even helped me into my dress! She is such a great lady and it was just like having another friend there. I can’t say enough about how great and beautiful I felt! Definitely book her - COVID wedding or not! Also, I ended up doing a bunch of facials and skin care and it was such a great experience so definitely book some of those too! I actually hated facials until I got one with Wendy - and now I love them!

idal party. Everyone’s makeup up looked fantastic. She touched up our makeup as needed throughout the day and kept us looking beautiful! Great service!

ped me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding. She not only did an incredible job on the actual wedding day, but she helped my skin during the months leading up to the wedding! I started using products she recommended during our make up trial and I saw a huge improvement on the health of my skin. I still use her talents and services as an esthetician a year after my wedding to keep my skin healthy.

d! I can’t say enough good things! And bonus? I didn’t have to touch up my makeup the entire day and night! She’s also such a wonderful esthetician! She helped get my skin in perfect shape for my big day and is continuing to keep my skin looking it’s best after! I cannot recommend her enough!

ing. I’ve seen major improvements in my skin; with less dryness and fewer blocked pores. On my wedding day, she provided make-up services for myself, wedding party, and my mother. We all felt and looked great! She customized each of our looks so that it suited each us, while helping pump up the glam factor for the occasion. All the looks stayed fresh all night; even after hours of dancing! Wendy is an artist who loves what she does. I would highly recommend her services!

y amazing and such a talented artist!

ly does she have incredible skills as a make-up artist, she is also a fantastic esthetician. Why is this important to your wedding day look? Well, if you have any pre-existing skin issues like acne or fine lines she will help you get this in order prior to your big day. She will ensure that your skin shines from the inside-out which is really a unique attribute to her services that many artists don’t offer. Ever since I began working with Wendy I receive compliments on my skin all of the time and that NEVER used to happen. On my wedding day Wendy was fantastic! Her team made myself, my mother and bridesmaids all look amazing. She made me feel so beautiful and ensured I was wedding day perfect. She even followed us to the church to double check I looked great right before walking down the aisle! My make-up stayed picture perfect through all the happy tears and dancing into the night. I truly cannot say enough about how awesome she is. She was so great many of my friends have booked her up already for their weddings! I am also looking forward to Wendy doing the make-up for my sister’s wedding in July! As my sister said “I don’t think I could get married without Wendy”. I think that really says it all.

I have never felt more beautiful and our entire bridal party looked gorgeous. Call Wendy today! I promise you will be so glad that you did. Leading up to the wedding I also went to see Wendy for what she calls her, "bridal boot camp" for a series of facials and a skincare regiment, and my skin has never looked or felt better!!

yone. I was right. Day of she was attentive, personable, relaxed and most important, on time. I had her stay with me throughout the ceremony and because of it my makeup looks fantastic in all the pictures. I highly recommend her and her quality work!

ly made the time so enjoyable! My makeup looked great. I looked like me, but so much better. She didn't go over board and did exactly what I wanted. The makeup last all night. Wendy did an amazing job. She really loves what she does and does a great job doing it.

do their makeup. I know that the people that were pushed into doing their makeup were not on the 'yes' list and should not have been pushed into it. Her friend (Ginger) and Wendy did my hair and she did my bridesmaid's hair and MOB. They both do absolutely amazing work. I would recommend them and would use them again. Overall they were nice and friendly.

evel of energy is off the charts and she will go out of her way to make sure her clients are both pampered and look AMAZING! Speaking of - my bridal party is a group of pretty fantastic-looking ladies all on their own...Wendy was able to amplify their natural beauty without making them look "overdone" or "plastic". She is truly an artist. My skin is particularly fair and sensitive to just about everything. Wendy's expertise and use of specific products allowed her to calm my facial flare-ups (red spots) and make me look like a movie star on my wedding day. Everyone (myself included) felt very special - we were all beaming! I would recommend Wendy's services to anyone - and I plan to use her again and again in the coming years...she is a gem!

t she found me a phenomenal hair stylist as well!!! I will be a lifelong client of Wendy!

t day was making me beautiful and happy. If you are looking for a make up artist, check her out...she was amazing!

es to make-up so when I found Wendy I was ecstatic! Her technique and talent with make-up is excellent. She is personable, outgoing and very reliable. She not only did a fantastic job on my make-up but she worked with me to get my skin clear, soft and healthy for my big day. She does it all, make-up, facials and even waxing! She is incredible.

en the makeup she used took all of the red out and it looked SO natural! I was very impressed because usually when I wear makeup, the only way to make the red tones go away is to cake on the makeup and Wendy worked her magic and it looked wonderful. On the day of my wedding, she came to the hotel room and immediately started working. She is so funny and makes everyone feel at ease! All of our makeup (myself, 6 bridesmaids, 2 attendants, flowergirl and mother-of-groom) looked phenomenal. None of us felt rushed and she stayed with us for 2 additional hours to continue to touch us up throughout all of our pictures. She was very professional and you can immediately tell that she loves what she does. Great job Wendy!

t had the look I wanted according to her pictures online (a natural face with a little more dramatic eyes). She was the most responsive when I emailed the make-up artists to check their availability and was so nice on the phone that I knew I would enjoy working with her. When I went for my trial run, I showed her a few pictures of make-up I liked and she was able to come up with the right coloring for me on the first try. We made a few adjustments to the application of the make-up using what I normally do to help elongate my eyes so I felt more comfortable with the make-up. Unfortunately, my eyes started watering on the ride home. Wendy sent me samples of the make-up she used and I tried each in turn to see what my eyes reacted to. It was narrowed down to two things – either the mascara or the glue for the false lashes. On the day of the wedding we went with new glue. My eyes watered a bit, so it was probably the mascara, but it was not as bad as the first day and I was able to calm my eyes down with a lotion from Lierac Diopticalm Cream (available at CVS). She remembered how I wanted it applied, down to the elongation of my eyes. My make-up looked great throughout the day, as did the make-up of my bridesmaids and mom who did not have trial runs. The eye make-up wore off a bit later in the evening and my face is a little oily in pictures, although to be fair I did not use the powder she had given me in my kit. Also, on the day of the trial my sister also had a trial run and was not happy with her first look. We ran out of time so Wendy was willing to drive out to the city to do my sister’s next trial run (note we did the trial-run at her place in Aurora). She really is willing to go out of her way to make sure her clients are happy. My sister decided to trust Wendy to do her make-up without a second trial and we all thought her make-up looked great on the day of the wedding.

s" as her business name--definitely look her up!
