I was a bride from NYC getting married in Costa Rica and I really wanted a local team that could do sophisticated and elegant work. I am so glad I chose Wendy. Everything was beautiful and I received so many compliments.Posted on Kylee LindseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would rate 10 stars if I could! Wendy and her team arrived and immediately made myself and my friends and family feel comfortable. My wedding planner found Wendy and her team for my destination wedding, so I never had a formal makeup trial. Wendy made me feel and look like myself while also giving me the bridal glam of my pinterest dreams. I gave her a few inspiration photos and told her a little of how I wanted to look and she absolutely nailed it. I had no notes and no changes. She took my vision and absolutely nailed it. I would highly recommend her for your big day! I have never felt more flawless and beautiful. She truly takes her time and makes you the center of her attention!Posted on Sarah Jane RippetoeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wendy was an absolute blessing on our elopement day! Going into it, I had no idea what I wanted for my hair and makeup. I barely communicated with her beforehand and didn’t send any inspiration photos since I didn’t have any. Yet, Wendy’s talent shone through. She presented a few options and saved the best for last. The moment I saw it, I knew that was the look I wanted. Wendy confidently said she had a feeling I would love it, and she was right! She brought my vision to life in a way that exceeded my expectations, far surpassing the inspiration photo. Having one person handle both my hair and makeup was the best decision. It created a seamless style that perfectly matched my overall look. Wendy even added some anti-shine to my husband, ensuring he looked great too! Beyond that, she went above and beyond by helping me get into my dress and touching up my tan lines. Her attention to detail and genuine care made the entire experience so enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who can truly elevate your special day, Wendy is the artist to choose. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!Posted on Liz AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wendy was fabulous! I hired her to do my hair and makeup for my elopement. Because I wasn’t local, we didn’t do a trial ahead of time. She asked me to email her inspiration photos for the looks I liked. Then she worked her magic on my wedding day. I was so pleased with my final look, and the best part was how relaxed I felt knowing she was taking care of me. I didn’t have to stress at all. I really enjoyed chatting with her during our time together, too. I highly recommend her and her team!Posted on Sarah PurcellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Wendy me maquillo el día de mi boda. Me dejó implacable, usó maquillaje de alta gama que eso es muy importante. El maquillaje me duró toda la noche, bailé, lloré, sudé y el maquillaje seguía ahí. Gracias Wendy por tan lindo trabajo.Posted on Heather SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
