Pamela and her team are the best! On the wedding day, we had 10 people total; 7 bridesmaids, 2 moms and myself. She came with 2 other stylists and were so efficient, managed the time perfectly without anyone feeling rushed. We all looked amazing and they brought such a fun energy to the bridal suite which I really appreciated the morning of my wedding! Pamela really knows her stuff and I feel like she really listened to what I wanted and was very thoughtful about bringing my wedding day look to life!

Pamela was awesome to work with. As someone who doesn’t normally wear makeup, I was stressed about finding the right fit for my wedding day. Pamela was that. She is easy going, calm, and truly listens to her clients. Her team also reflects that. I felt so confident with my hair and makeup, and still felt like myself!

Unfortunately, I did not get this service. Booked it 2 months before, paid deposit. Then checked in the week before the wedding, and did not get a prompt reply. The vendor said she...
was sick. I had to find a new makeup artist in 3 days before my wedding. It was very stressful and not something I needed to deal with. I did get my deposit back but it would have been better to be told ahead of time that they couldnt be there or have a clear policy of what to do in case the main vendor cant make it, otherwise youre left to figure it out only because you chased and insisted on getting a reply. Looking back, should have been a yellow/red flag that after booking, there was no communication on inspirations, suggestions etc. For many people, they only get married once so we dont know what to expect. Id caution against any one-person vendors that dont have a policy in case of something like this - also , deposits on Venmo mean youre at the mercy of them returning it - which I did, but could have lost that money as well. Signed a contract and everything. The Knot did not help contacting the vendor when I didnt hear back, said they had nothing to do with vendors on their platform which was another disappointing thing.

It was, indeed, unfortunate that I came down with a severe stomach flu the week of your we...
dding. With a high fever and fatiuge, my doctors told me I was not in the clear until after your wedding date. I immediately let you know that my delayed response was due to my illness, and I promptly let you know my condition as soon as I found out. I sent back your deposit instantly, without any hesitation and then set you up with 2 other artists to choose from that were available and ready to go in my place—artists that I have worked with for years who have the same aesthetic as mine, that I trust to sub in for me if that should ever occur. I offer payment other than Venmo (Zelle, Cash, Check, Credit Card, etc). and I do have a clause in my contract in case of emergencies, such as this one. I am truly sorry that this caused stress and disappointment and did everything in my power to make sure you still had an awesome artist to work with.
Any questions?

Pamela was a fantastic and calming presence on my wedding day. She was easy to work with from the very beginning, sending me all the information needed to make an informed decisio...
n to book her services. The price was more than affordable for an NYC HMUA.
I have LOTS of freckles and she helped me find a bridal style that allowed the freckles to shine on my wedding day.
We had a VERY early start at 6am for an 11am wedding and she accommodated my HMUA, as well as my mom and MIL. Even in a small hotel room, she got the job done and kept us all calm on the day.
Can't say enough great things about Pamela.

I am so so happy I found Pamela for my wedding day. Not only is she a super talented makeup artist and hair stylist, she is also a very friendly, personable, nonjudgmental person- ...
the exact type of person you want on your team on your big day. I had two makeup trials leading up to the wedding as I kept changing my mind about what I wanted and she pulled off both styles flawlessly. Day of the wedding I decided I wanted to try a different hairstyle from the one I did for the trial and I knew I could trust her to put together a gorgeous hairstyle on the fly. What I love most about Pamela’s work is that she is truly gifted at bringing out everyone’s unique and natural beauty with makeup. Everyone in my bridal party has different facial features and nobody had the same makeup style; everyone’s makeup was perfectly suited to their face and we were all able to enter the wedding feeling beautiful and confident. She especially made my mom feel her prettiest when my mom is not a big makeup wearer. Thank you so much Pamela!!! I would recommend her to anyone!!!

I. LOVE. Pamela. She is incredible. From the minute we met at my trial, she instantly had this calming presence that made me want to tell her every detail about my life :). She is ...
kind, fun, organized, flexible, and great at what she does. I was in love with my hair and makeup look, and it stayed all day! She also did the hair for 5 bridesmaids and my mom, and brought an assistant Alexa to do their makeup. Everyone looked great! No one's makeup was too cakey or hair too crunchy, they looked like elevated versions of themselves. Pamela kept us on schedule, helped me with last minute changes, and was really more of a friend who was hanging out with me on my wedding morning than anything else. I would recommend her wholeheartedly and would definitely work with her again!

to me, both for makeup and hair. I asked her for a fishtail braid and she even took time to practice on her 12 year old neighbor just to make sure she’d be ready to do my hair on the big day. Pamela has a great demeanor. She kept me feeling so calm on a very hectic morning. My makeup was my favorite part of my whole wedding day look and that’s because of Pamela’s ability to make it look flawless. I couldn’t recommend her more. You will not be disappointed!! I did airbrush with her and it lasted all day and night through a 90 degree NYC sweltering day. She’s got SKILLS!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Pamela Bob, of Who Does Your Makeup-Bridal. My mom and I are both women who do not wear a lot of make up on a regular basis (my mother, hardly ever...
anything but some lipstick) and we were both nervous about not looking like ourselves if we had professional make up done. Pamela listened to us, heard our wishes and concerns, and enabled us both to look like the most beautiful versions of ourselves . She made sure we had the right make up for pictures, to stand out on this special day, while still appearing natural. Honestly, we both felt comfortable and gorgeous at the same time. I could not recommend Who Does Your Makeup more highly!!!

riences with her?! I was going for a natural, vintage-inspired bridal look, so I wanted to work with someone who could give me a touch of glam without going over the top. She wound up being such a wonderful presence on our big day, bringing a warm, easygoing vibe, positive attitude and fantastic sense of humor. Not only did she do my bridal look, but she also did makeup for my mom, sister, mother-in-law & aunt-in-law - all women of various ages and skin tones. Needless to say, getting our makeup done was a special occasion for all of us, and Pamela made us feel comfortable and beautiful all day and night long!

She then did my mom's makeup also to rave reviews. She was approachable, funny, and down to earth. I can still picture her arriving at my parents' house early in the morning and drinking their instant coffee while making us laugh, doing our makeup, and showing a lot of excitement for the day. I am very thankful and you will be too.
