Peggy and her team are absolutely amazing!! I had my 3 daughters along with my ( the brides) make up done by Peggy and her associate Mary, and their name says it all... YOU. Only better. Our makeup was done to perfection. I have one daughter wh...
o struggles with acne, not one blemish appeared. Another who struggles with rosacea and her skin looked like porcelain, and my make up was everything I hoped it would be but better. Soft complimentary shades, professional products- all served us with a professional touch and great personality. Peggy was such a joy to work with! Our pictures came out beautifully and everyone of us ladies looked stunning. I would highly recommend calling Peggy for all of your wedding party!

Billie-Jean, it was a pleasure meeting you, the girls and your Fiancé. Wishing your family the very Best! Peggy
"Talking with and working with Peggy is like working with an old friend." That's something that I read on one of the other reviews for You. Only Better Makeup Artistry and it is absolutely true. Peggy was professional, friendly, and it felt l...
ike I had known her a lot longer than the hour that I spent with her for my pre-wedding trial makeup run. She was thorough and honest, telling me her thoughts but also asking mine all along the way... the end result was exactly what I had been looking for in my wedding look.
I don't live near Myrtle Beach, so my planning and selecting of vendors has been very heavily dependent on reviews and recommendations. Peggy (You. Only Better), was not only recommended and highly rated through The Knot, but by my venue as well as our photographer... they did not steer me wrong. I'm very excited for our big day in March and to see my whole look come together. Peggy will be a big part of that look.
Peggy Boodro is the best!! The name of her business is exactly what she offers and provides. She gives honest feedback and points out the things to cover and the areas to enhance making you the best look possible for your big day. We hired h...
er for our daughter's wedding and she did me (MOB) as well as all the bridesmaids and our gorgeous bride. So often, you see the bride and she doesn't look like herself. A guest at our wedding gave the compliment that "Marleigh looks gorgeous! Just an enhanced version of herself!" She was truly absolutely stunning enhanced by Peggy's skills. She was on time, made decisions about adding a teammate to come with and help and truly kept us on schedule. Thank you Peggy!!

Thank you so very much for sharing your experience! The pleasure was all mine. Just saw the gallery of photos and they are stunning! So happy everything to your satisfaction! Peggy
From the makeup trial to the wedding, Peggy was absolute pleasure to work with. She did the makeup for myself and my two Maid of Honors and each of us came out looking stunning!
For my eyes, she used these sparkling lashes and everyone could ...
not stop talking how amazing they looked. Everything I asked for, she did it and she did an amazing job. I would highly recommend her for any future bride in the Myrtle Beach area!

Hi Alexis, thank you so much for taking the time to express your appreciation. It is always so gratifying to hear back from Brides. I wish you and your Husband the very Best! Peggy Boodro
Peggy was so easy to work with. I did my makeup trial with her a few days ago and was a bit nervous because I don’t wear makeup that often other than mascara and maybe some eye liner if I’m feeling dressy. However, I had no reason to be nervous...
! Peggy was so great. She explained all the products she was using and how she would apply them. She also explain how some of the colors and products will appear on my skin tone. She listened to everything I wanted and kept checking to ensure I was happy with the results. Peggy also added notes to her file for some of the little things i would like to do differently on my wedding day. The makeup overall came out great and I would definitely recommend Peggy. I can’t wait to have her be a part of my wedding day.

I LOVED Peggy!!! She felt like a fast friend. Peggy and her team were incredible to work with and made me and my bridesmaids feel stunning! Their timing was spot on and so stress free. Everyone had plenty of time to relax and regroup before pho...
tos which was so appreciated. During the trial, Peggy asked for my feedback along the way and made sure to show the progress as she did certain elements. She made a point to explain all of the products she used and sent me and my girls off with lipgloss and sweat blotters (May in SC!). Peggy also did my grandmothers makeup and made her feel like an absolute star. I cannot recommend this team enough!!

Thank you so much Julia, I really appreciate these kind words and I enjoyed being part of your special day!
Peggy & her assistant were great!! I had my consultation with Peggy, she walked me through the entire process, asking me questions about how I currently wear make-up. Confirming that I was actually happy with her work, and not brushing me off o...

The day of, she arrived, ON TIME, because I see not all actually arrive on time, based on previous reviews when we were looking, so this is very important to mention, got all set up, and got right to work on the girls. Everyone was happy with how their make up lasted throughout the day. We had pictures at 3:30, and the ceremony was at 6p! I would recommend hiring Peggy!
Peggy is so amazing to work with. She is so sweet and attentive and extremely personable. Her skills are amazing. Peggy did my wedding day makeup and I’m so happy with how everything turned out. I felt like a million dollars and also felt and l...

You are so welcome Danielle, I really enjoyed working with you and sharing the anticipation these past fe months! Peggy
I wish Peggy would do my make up every day! But if I can’t have that, at least she was able to do it on the biggest day of my life. On my wedding day, Peggy was more than punctual and arrived 15 minutes before scheduled. In fact, she even arriv...
ed at the venue before I did! She provided a perfect map of my face and used products and colors to elevate my natural beauty. She did the same for my sister (my only bridesmaid, hello Covid brides!) and best and most hilariously of all, gave us instruction on what she called Proper Crying Posture, so we wouldn’t ruin our faces with our tears! Peggy worked like a professional but felt like a friend. I would recommend her to anyone in the Myrtle Beach area looking for bridal make up. Thank you Peggy!
Peggy is absolutely phenomenal as a makeup artist! She knows exactly how to accentuate your best features so you look gorgeous both in person and in your photos. She is very knowledgeable and holds a great deal of experience. I would highly rec...

I had my trial run yesterday. Peggy was so welcoming and very professional. She described and educated me on everything she was doing and why during the appointment. My make-up was very natural and I walked out of the appointment feeling confid...
ent and beautiful all while looking like myself! Exactly how you would like to feel on your wedding day! The bonus was she gave me tips on application and products for my everyday make-up routine! She also provided me with other vendors I needed for my big day. I can’t wait for my wedding day and the flawless glowing look Peggy will provide for me!

Thank you Samantha! So enjoyed being part of your day and meeting your family and Fiancé. Best wishes for your future! Peggy
Peggy did a fantastic job on my make up! We did the practice run and it looked amazing. Very professional work for a great price. She has been doing make up for a long time and knew what looked good with my skin complexion. She used high end ma...
ke up products and she explained everything she was using and took her time with me. It really made my eyes pop and skin glow. It doesn’t feel cakey at all it feels very light on my face. l am so excited for my wedding day I feel like a beautiful bride!!! Thank you Peggy!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2021
Ha, just what I love to hear! It was a pleasure working with you today and I cannot wait for your Wedding Day!
Peggy is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her for any bride looking for a makeup artist. I am very picky about my makeup and my husband said his only request was that I didn’t have a “face caked with makeup” for the wedding. I did a ma...
keup trial with numerous makeup artists in the Myrtle Beach area and I chose Peggy because I loved how she made my makeup look natural and beautiful at the same time. It was truly “me only better.” My husband told me numerous times during our wedding how great my makeup looked. She not only does wonderful makeup, she also is punctual, accommodating, and the sweetest person. Thanks so much Peggy for making my wedding day makeup everything I ever dreamed of and more!
Peggy is awesome!! We could not have had asked for a better make up artist for my wedding. We all loved our make up and couldn’t have been happier. I don’t have the best skin and I had an active break out and she somehow made my skin look flawl...
ess! I like full coverage and she was able to do that and still keep me looking natural and not cakey. I didn’t even have to show Peggy pictures of the look I wanted, it was like she knew exactly what would look good with my skin tone and eye and hair color and she nailed it! I also liked how she would occasionally show us a mirror and make sure we liked how she was doing our make up. I chose to do fake lashes and she took her time and showed me many different styles and how they would look on my eyes. She never rushed and took her time on each one of us and was so professional and friendly. I highly recommend Peggy!!!

Hi Erin, thanks so much. It was so fun working with you and your sisters and Niece. Wishing you the very Best for your future. Peggy
Peggy is the best of the best! From your first initial contact with her about booking, the trial run before your wedding and the actual day of Peggy exceeds every expectation when it comes to a professional makeup artist. She not only made my l...
ook we wanted come to life but my bridesmaids and my moms too! She can do any kind of style as far as natural to heavy. She’s educated on every kind of product as well. My groom whispered to me at the alter how beautiful my make up looked. (He’s actually very picky with makeup) he absolutely loved it. When I asked him the next day how he liked my make up, before I could finish my sentence he answered it was perfect! I couldn’t agree more. Peggy is hands down the best make up artist along the grand strand. (Also the best one I’ve had) You will not have any second thoughts or doubts with YOU.onlyBetter. So thankful for her!
Peggy and team were absolutely amazing! Super friendly and professional! We even added in 2 girls last minute and they made it happen without any issues! All of our make up looked flawless and we got so many compliments on how natural it looked...

Thank you so much, we enjoyed meeting you all and what a nice group of beautiful people and happy faces!
Peggy is the most incredible makeup artist. Artist is definitely the right word too!!!! Peggy is so patient, and explained everything she was doing to me while she applied the makeup. It made me feel so at ease and comfortable as someone who do...
esn't wear makeup very often. Peggy clearly cared about how I felt, and often asked me how different makeups felt on my face. Throughout the process she regularly showed me what she was doing and accepted feedback easily. Peggy worked hard to make sure I was happy and comfortable. I really felt like I was getting the VIP treatment being made up by her. I have trouble with lashes, and after our trial we realized that I could do individual clusters of fake lashes, but not strips. These are incredibly beautiful, but way more difficult to apply. Peggy PERFECTLY applied those lash clusters and they lasted all night. They never bothered me once!!! Further, the quality of the makeup she uses is GREAT! I am not a makeup person, but it was clearly excellent quality because it lasted throughout the night, and when I was outside in the heat of July in South Carolina taking pictures. Although my entire body was sweaty, that makeup didn't go ANYWHERE! Peggy is kind, patient, thoughtful, and dedicated to her profession. I received endless compliments all night on my makeup; and so did my mother, mother in law, and my bridesmaids. My father CRIED when he saw my mother, that is how beautiful Peggy made her!
I highly recommend Peggy to any bride; or anyone looking to have their makeup done for an event/pictures/other reason!

***I already reviewed Peggy for my trial, but I wanted to post an additional review because she did such a wonderful job on my wedding makeup day of! The Knot won't let me do a second review under my name. I am posting this review under my husband's name so that Peggy gets the additional EXCELLENT review she deserves!***
Response from the Vendor on 08/07/2020
Well Lillian, I can tell that you were very happy when I worked with you but this is such a generous compliment. Thank you again, Peggy
“Wow” doesn’t do Peggy justice! Not only was she on time for the bridal make up trial, she was fully prepared and a little early! Throughout the entire process, she explained her color choices and techniques and even shared tips that I could us...
e during my everyday make up, too. She was kind, courteous, and so open to feedback. We didn’t stop until I was fully satisfied with my look! I am in love with the way it turned out. Thank you, Peggy! You made me look and feel so beautiful!
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2020
Thank you so much Samantha! It was a pleasure and I so look forward to you big day!
I hired Peggy for our upcoming wedding after receiving a recommendation from a trusted friend, and after reviewing the work she has done with other brides.
Peggy let me know that she does trials prior to the wedding to really perfect the look ...
for wedding day.
I decided to do a trial because I wanted to know how the makeup would hold up for outdoor pictures and to make sure the look I was going for would be achievable.
I HIGHLY recommend Peggy and I HIGHLY recommend doing a trial. The makeup trial allowed Peggy and I to work together without any constraints on time to really get the look we were going for. I have such sensitive eyes and Peggy worked with me to find the best way to give my lashes definition and feel comfortable. I have been searching for the right way to do my lips for years, and she found the absolute perfect color for my lips.
Doing the trial allowed for Peggy to look at the dress, go over the colors and overall theme of the wedding, and what jewelry we would be doing. That extra time and information allowed us to really find a makeup look that will compliment me and the whole wedding day itself!
I cannot say enough how valuable the trial was, but also just how wonderful, sweet, and thoughtful Peggy is. She is truly a gem!!!! I am beyond excited for our wedding day to work with Peggy again!!!! She made me feel so beautiful and was so patient, and really listened to everything I said and wanted!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2020
Lillian thank you so much for taking the time to review my services. It really is what fuels my passion to make "my"Brides happy. Can't wait for the big Day!
After having to postpone my wedding due to COVID and going through the re-planning phase all over again, I felt defeated - until I met Peggy. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have met this amazing woman when I did. She helped me see ...
the light at the end of the tunnel. Peggy went out of her way to help make my bridal portraits happen on such short notice. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and her knowledge on beauty products and skincare is impressive. I’ve learned so much from her. Im someone who doesn’t wear makeup very often and is self-conscious about my skin, but I still wanted to look like myself for my portraits. Peggy understood that. I’ll never forget that moment she handed me the mirror when she finished applying my makeup. I’ve never seen myself look so beautiful as I did that day and I’ll never be able to thank her enough for giving me that feeling.
To anyone that’s getting married in the coastal area of SC and looking for a true makeup artist, Peggy is your person!
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2020
Allyson, just saw this thanks so much! I know your schedule is very hectic right but I am thankful that We are on track! See you very soon!
I was fortunate enough to use Peggy’s services for my engagement pictures. Not only did I look good, I felt even better. My skin is less than perfect but from the moment we met, Peggy made me feel beautiful inside and out. I loved the way s...

Hi Alison, thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and your Mom, I was thrilled when she exclaimed "it is magic". :) Looking forward to your wedding day, Peggy
I have had a wonderful experience with Peggy. From the beginning she was very easy to get ahold of and talk to, very prompt in responding to your emails or messages on theknot.com
Peggy offers a trial, so you can work together with her ahead of...
your big day, so you don’t need to be nervous on your big day, because the two of you already know what you like!
I wasn’t 100% positive of what I wanted my makeup to look like, but Peggy broke it down for me. She knew which colors would look best on my skin tone and with my big brown eyes!
Peggy is prompt, personable and very good at her job. I highly recommend her, you will not be let down!!

icky about my makeup, but Peggy did a fabulous job! In fact, I went for a 30+ mile bike ride in the summer after my trial and the makeup still looked great, so I knew it would hold up the entire wedding day plus some (which it did)! Communication throughout was very clear, timely, and professional, and Peggy was a blast to have around the day of. All my bridesmaids (who can also be very picky) loved their makeup and had nothing but positive things to say as well. It was one less thing to stress about because I knew Peggy would do a great job and stick to or even stay ahead of our day of schedule.

Hi Emma, thank your taking the time to write this review and for allowing me to show off some of your beautiful photos! Forgot about the Corgie Tux, he looked great as well! Happy Holidays to both of you. Peggy
Peggy is so amazing at what she does, she very professional, fun and personable at the same time. She has a knack at finding your best features, enhancing those and hiding the small things none of us like. She did make up for the 7 year old f...
lower girl who got a bit of sparkle and "fairy dust" , the 62 year old who looked much younger after Peggy was done, the bridesmaids and of course the bride. The Bride has never looked more beautiful in her life and the pictures we have seen showcase what an amazing job Peggy did!! The name of her company is so fitting - You only better - you don't look made up - you just look like the best version of yourself after she does her magic. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an incredibly talented Makeup artist!

Thank you so much, I enjoyed being part of this very special and loving day!
Peggy is a wonderful makeup artist! She did my makeup trial and my engagement photos were fabulous! I hired her to do my wedding and my makeup stayed on all day! I recently got married in September and the weather was very hot and humid but my ...

Thank you so much Linh, it was a pleasure meeting you and being part of your very special and gorgeous wedding! Cannot wait to see the photos! Peggy
Peggy did a phenomenal job on my makeup and lashes on my wedding day! My makeup lasted all night and still looked perfect. She gave me recommendations based on my coloring and the style of my wedding. The day turned out to be crazy (as they ...
always are) and while my hair was being done, Peggy graciously put glitter and lip gloss on the flower girls without me even asking. Very thoughtful. I highly recommend Peggy.

Thank you Stephanie, for your kind words, I remember the day well. You looked radiant and I love little flower girls and glitter!. Peggy
I must start by saying that; I am not a make up kind of person. I usually don’t wear it and was a bit intimidated at the prospect of having my make up done. But after meeting Peggy for a consultation; I knew I made the correct decision. She too...
k so much time with me at the consultation! She explained the different types of makeup, their purpose, how she would apply them and how it would all work together. She took her time and found the right colors and came up with the exact look I wanted. As a makeup novice, I wanted a more natural look and she provided a look that was gorgeous and long lasting but still looked like “Me”.
She is an expert at covering problem areas (mine being dark under eye circles) And she had all the colors that were needed to create a palate for my Darker skin tone.
From the consultation I took with me a better knowledge of makeup, some application tips that were easy for a novice to follow and, the concealer sample that she had mixed up just for me!
I left feeling Beautiful and Excited for my big day.
And Peggy did not disappoint. The make up she did for my Wedding Day was Perfect! I had never felt so Beautiful! It lasted the entire day through the ceremony, pictures and my Honeymoon dinner.
On such a stressful day, it was comforting knowing that I was in the hands of such a Professional, Skilled and Caring person.
Peggy is THE Make Up Artist to make you feel like You, Only Better!
Peggy was so wonderful to work with. She did my make up trial a year before my wedding for my engagement photos! She did an absolutely perfect job. She talks you through the process the entire time in order to explain exactly what she is puttin...
g on your face. Peggy will make sure she listens to what you feel is best for your face but also suggests things. She does an amazing job making you look beautiful but still like yourself! She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day and also made my bridesmaids look gorgeous as well. Peggy is professional, kind, easy going, and very talented!!! I highly recommend her!
I couldn't have had a better experience with Peggy as my makeup artist for my wedding! I knew immediately when she did my trial that I could rest at ease knowing I had the right person to make me feel beautiful! She is kind, considerate, and pr...
ofessional. She takes the time to explain the products she's using, blend to match your coloring perfectly, and, most importantly, listens to what you want. The day of the wedding, she didn't disappoint. She was on time and finished ahead of schedule. My makeup lasted through happy tears, rain, and sweat from dancing! I'm so grateful for Peggy.
Peggy was an absolute joy. She was very professional and explained exactly what she was doing and the whole process came out just beautifully. I couldn't have asked for a more friendly nice person when I was a bundle of nerves. She was AMAZI...
NG, and I will be forever grateful to her for the way my makeup came out on my wedding day. I would recommend her over and over again.
Peggy did my make up for my engagement photos and then for my wedding April 2019. She came about 15 minutes before her start time to set up. We started right on time. She discusses what she is doing while she does it and she talks to everyone. ...
Even the few people visiting who were not getting their make up done which meant so much to them. Giving people tips as she went along is so sweet. I could not ask for a more friendly woman who does an amazing job. The fact that she asks for pictures ahead of time so she can have an idea of the best make up colors to use just shows she does her research before stating. Absolutely wonderful. I will always use her for special occasions that I will need professional make up for. Oh and her price is very reasonable. She tells you right up front what prices will be and does not try to add in anything additional or sneak in additional prices. You get exactly what she says. I love you Peggy. Thank you for making my wedding day morning go smoothly.

Thank you ever so much! can't wait for the wedding!
Peggy did an absolute fantastic job on our makeup, but most of all you kept my spirit light & happy! Peggy also worked with me when I decided I didn't like the colors that I chose for my trial run. She met with me again and made me feel like sh...
e would not give up on me until I loved how I looked. On the day of the wedding, as she did my makeup, she kept me laughing and cheerful. She did an amazing job on all 3 of us. Not only did she have 3 very different aged faces to work with but 3 very different style of woman. All of us were in love with our makeup. She helped me to capture fun photos by making me laugh and keeping me entertained while remaining professional and staying within the needed timeframe. I would never go to another makeup artist and will definitely be using Peggy again for any future makeup needs. Thank you Peggy for everything that you did and for the wonderful person that you are!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Peggy! I contacted her to do the makeup for my wedding day for me, my sister, grandmother and mother. I do not use a lot of makeup in my every day life, and so I was a little nervous and overwhelmed wit...
h the process. During our trial, Peggy took the time to talk to me about the products she used and really took the time to get to know me and my style which put me at ease. She uses great products and knows how to work with every skin type. The makeup on my wedding day was absolutely perfect. We had an early ceremony with a large gap in time before the reception and my makeup, along with everyone else’s, lasted all day and into the night! It was beautiful and classy without feeling like I had makeup caked on my face. I felt beautiful all day! Peggy is a true professional and a great person. She is the best around and you will not be disappointed! Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!!!!!

Peggy was simply wonderful. She did the most amazing makeup for my wedding day. She made me feel and look like a princess. It was such a treat to have her do my makeup for such a special occasion! Thank you, Peggy!
Peggy of You. Only Better did my make-up (and my mom's) for my wedding on October 21, 2017. I absolutely loved what she did. My make-up looked incredible, but so natural. It was a warm day - our ceremony and photos were outdoors - and yet my ma...
ke-up stayed put! I don't generally wear much make-up on my face. Many, many hours later my make-up was still comfortable! Now I am starting to receive photos from that day and I just love, love, love the way my make-up looked!
Peggy also did my mom's make-up. My mom was hesitant as she's had her make-up done in the past and found it accentuated her age. Peggy did a fabulous job, making sure make-up would not settled into those annoying fine lines. My mom was so so happy with her look.
I cannot say enough good things about You.Only Better. Professional, yet relaxed demeanor. Easy to work and very reasonably priced.

Thank you so much for these lovely words. I truly try and make everybody happy, so this means a lot. Peggy
BEAUTIFUL WORK!! I had the pleasure of hiring You. Only Better for my wedding day. Peggy is so wonderful, exciting, and fun to work with! I did a trial months before the wedding (day we did our engagement photos) and my make-up was phenomenal a...
nd looked great in the photos! I do not wear any make-up on my face, I only wear mascara, so I wanted to hire someone who would make me look like the best version of myself on my wedding day. I did not want to look in the mirror and not recognize the girl staring back at me. Peggy and another make up artist (I'm sorry I forgot her name) did the make-up of the whole wedding party and did a fabulous job. If you are looking for someone who will make you look naturally beautiful without overuse of make-up, you MUST hire Peggy. I am obsessed with how beautiful she made me feel on my wedding day along with everyone in my wedding party. Peggy is so prompt with her responses to email/text/calls and very professional. Her pricing is very reasonable as well. You must hire You. Only Better as they are the best!! Thank you so much Peggy for being so amazing and making me feel like the most beautiful girl on my wedding day. You are a doll and I hope I get the pleasure of having you do my make-up again in the future!

It was an absolute pleasure being part of your special day! Peggy
The first time I met Peggy I told her I was nervous about getting my wedding makeup done. I hardly ever wear anything more than mascara and I didn't want to look or feel like I had a ton of makeup on. My husband was also nervous because I've be...
en in weddings before when they just caked the makeup on and he's definitely not a fan. He just wanted me to look like me. Peggy did such an amazing job! I can't even express how happy/relieved I was. She did my make up for all of the photo sessions and wedding and every time I loved the way I looked, and it lasted all day. Some people may think "it's just makeup, it doesn't matter", but you'll have these wedding pictures forever and you don't want to be unhappy every time you look at them. I would 100% recommend Peggy and You. Only Better Makeup to anyone!
Peggy Boodro did my makeup for my wedding June 27th 2015! She is awesome! Very professional.
I had the opportunity to work with Peggy for my wedding last year. I did a practice session with her before the wedding and loved it! It made me less stressed on my wedding day knowing how happy I would be with my makeup already. Peggy made me...
feel so beautiful, but not overdone. It really was me, only better. She knows how to make you feel confident and beautiful. I loved working with her so much that I continued to work with her after my wedding as well. My bridesmaids also loved working with her. I highly recommend Peggy for any of your makeup needs!
As a wedding photographer, I wish all my brides would know the difference that a great make up artist can do on their skin. I send all my clients to Peggy without a doubt. I know she will bring the beauty they have inside in the most beautiful...
and elegant way. With a clean and timeless style, I absolutely Love how she treats the skin, - this for me, its the most important part of make up.- Working with a great professional, will save work in post processing, and most important, my brides will look glamorous in their big day!
I chose You.Only Better makeup artistry for my wedding and had the privilege of working with Peggy Boodro! She was very efficient and professional throughout the entire process...from my pre-wedding application, tips & tricks, to making me fee...
l absolutely gorgeous on my big day! Peggy was a joy to work with and very knowledgable regarding all skin types from my fair and very sensitive skin to more mature skin types as she did makeup for my maid of honor, my mother and future mother-in-law. Peggy assisted me in surprising my mother and mother-in-law with makeup application for them as well! We all looked stunning and yet so natural! She did an excellent job at highlighting our own features without making us look too "made up." Each of us had our own unique features that she exemplified well! At the end of our ceremony and reception...I didn't want to take my makeup off! It was applied just THAT well! If you want to look and feel beautiful...You.Only Better by Peggy Boodro is the makeup artist to choose!
Peggy did the makeup for my daughter's destination wedding in Myrtle Beach May 2015. She was professional, friendly, and enjoyed her artistry. When going out of town it is like drawing a name out of a hat. We drew the right name with Peggy. We ...
all looked beautiful! The makeup was not a bit over done. I wish she were in PA so we could use her for my other daughter's wedding Aug 2015.
I recommend her 100%
