Andrea is the best! She was incredibly funny, kind, and made everyone in my life feel comfortable the morning of my wedding. Along with that, her makeup artistry skills are amazing...
. I felt so beautiful on my big day all thanks to her. I would highly recommend hiring Andrea for your bid day!
So personable and made everyone feel amazing! I’m so grateful to have had her be a part of my wedding day
I LOVED working with Andrea. She is so personable and was open to feedback. She was very flexible with my trial time as I was coming from out of state. I loved her approach to the ...
trial as well - focusing on what I was used to makeup wise, what I was looking for on my wedding day as well as asking about comfort and experience. The day of the wedding, she did my makeup and both the MOG and MOB makeup and we all LOVED it! The makeup stayed on all day and I still felt like myself - just elevated. I would highly recommend Andrea!
Drea was an absolute dream and amazing to work with! I felt beautiful in my makeup as someone that does not wear it very often. She did amazing styling and helped me keep a good he...
adspace mentally on stressful day. I highly recommend her to everyone!
I booked Andrea to do my makeup, my mother-in-law’s makeup, and my bridal party’s makeup for our wedding in September, and I only have AMAZING things to say about Andrea and her ma...
keup services! I am a bride who rarely wears makeup outside of a little blush and mascara and I never wear any skin makeup (foundation, concealer, etc.), I have freckles, and had never had my makeup done professionally! All of this being said, it was SUPER important to me to find an artist who could make me feel “myself” (very natural look that doesn’t cover my freckles and doesn’t FEEL like I’m wearing skin makeup). I looked through MANY makeup artists’ pages and once I saw Andrea Fontana Beauty’s page, I knew I wanted to book her!
I booked a makeup trial before our big day and my inspiration photos I brought to our makeup trial were from her page itself, which is really awesome to know my favorite makeup looks SHE had done. I don’t know much about makeup, so I wasn’t able to be too specific with what my vision was, but through a few of her photos from her page and talking through what I liked, she was able to perfectly curate what I was hoping for! By the time the wedding came around, we knew exactly the look we wanted to go for. Andrea arrived on-time, set up her very professional station equipped with her lighting, chair, and supplies, and she got right to work and stayed right on the schedule of who would go when that she and I had worked together before the big day!
Her airbrush makeup feels so incredibly light, it didn’t feel like I was wearing any skin makeup at all, which is exactly what I wanted! Even with airbrush foundation, I could see my freckles! I looked like ME! :) I wore false lashes on the wedding day that were really comfortable and Andrea really knew how to combine the lashes and the eyeshadow color to make my eyes POP! I didn’t even know how blue my eyes were until Andrea did my wedding makeup! <3 I felt so beautiful. One of my bridesmaids has beautiful green eyes and after she had her makeup done with Andrea, I told her that whatever she has on her eyes right now is HER color, because I had never seen her eyes that green!! Andrea really knows how to bring out natural beauty and emphasize what we naturally have!
Our wedding was on a pretty warm summer day in September, roughly 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and my makeup lasted the entire night through lots of dancing and moving around. By the end of the night, I wasn’t even itching to get my makeup off, it really felt that comfortable and light. I have very sensitive skin that breaks out really easily with different skincare/makeup products, and my skin was COMPLETELY happy with me the next day! No breakouts or irritation which really says ALOT with how particular my skin is.
On top of Andrea’s MAGIC she works in the beauty chair, she is also incredibly warm, friendly, and personable. She makes every person who sits in her chair feel like a FRIEND. Multiple of my bridal party members mentioned how kind and lovely she was and how great having Andrea there with us doing our makeup made our wedding morning through her laughs and conversations! I would highly, highly suggest booking Andrea Fontana Beauty for your wedding makeup!

Andrea was amazing to work with! Five stars just isn't enough. She has such an amazing personality; she kept my bridal party and I laughing the entire time she was working :-) Her ...
work is beautiful and I am so happy that we were able to work together. Book with Andrea, you won't regret it.
Andrea is the BEST makeup artist I have ever worked with, and I've been in a good number of weddings. She works really hard to make sure that your bridal makeup feels like YOU. She...
takes the time to get to know you, your skincare routine, and what sort of makeup you're comfortable with on a daily basis so she can build a look that's unique to you. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup day-to-day, I was really nervous I wouldn't recognize myself on my wedding day, but Andrea created the PERFECT look with me in my trial and I felt GORGEOUS on my wedding day. I was also really nervous about airbrush makeup, but Andrea took the time to meet with me, educate me about it, and answer all my questions. She is such a magician that she drew eyebrows on my mom, who'd lost her eyebrows to chemo, from scratch. They looked so real and normal. She made my mom look and feel normal for the first time in months, and that's a gift I'll never forget. I'm so happy I went with Andrea. Everyone's makeup was flawless and lasted all day, even in some rain. She's also just such a wonderful person and will make getting ready that much more fun on your big day! I could go on and on. She is truly a gem and I'd recommend her to anyone.
I do not have enough kind words to praise Andrea for her spectacular work. At my trial, Andrea made me feel comfortable in a makeup environment I was hesitant to enter. I had never...
worn makeup before and was nervous. She immediately made me comfortable. She took the time to not only know my make up dreams but cared enough to want to know my wedding vision and all the beautiful details of planning. She was great with contact between trial and wedding day - even going as far as helping me find a skin care routine. On day of, she was on time, full of excitement, and helped spark a fun morning with my ladies as we got ready. She kept us ahead of schedule and even had flexibility to add my mom in. I loved my bridal look and my girls loved their looks as well! She has a way of enhancing natural beauty and giving you that extra touch to have SO much confidence on your wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough! She is a wonderful and professional makeup artist and an equally as amazing human being. Everyone needs an Andrea on their wedding day!
Pictures show how beautiful her makeup turns out, but her personality and care are what makes her the perfect MUA for your wedding day. She is so easy and fun to talk to, you’ll wi...
sh you were friends with her after the wedding. She really listens to what you want for your makeup look, but also asks a bunch of questions what you don’t like so she can really nail the look you’re going for. 100% would recommend.
Andrea is the best!! She was so kind and amazing to work with! She is so funny and you can tell she truly loves doing makeup! I have honestly never looked or felt more confident in...
my life! My bridesmaids and I were sooooo happy with our looks! She did everything I could have dreamed of, and more!! Thank you Andrea for turning me into a pink princess for my wedding day!
Andrea did my make up for my October wedding and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined! I was truly blown away. She makes the whole experience so much fun! I cannot ...
recommend her enough!
Absolutely spectacular experience!! I cannot speak higher of Dre’s talent and professionalism. She takes the time to listen and to understand your vision for your wedding and appea...
rance on your special day. She was prompt and arrived early the morning of full of energy and excitement. She stayed on time and made everyone look fabulous. She went with the flow and had no issue when I wanted to add on my aunt for her make up as well. Just being around her you can tell that she loves what she does, could not recommend more highly!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ANDREA! She is the best! Not only did she make me feel like the most beautiful bride out there, she is fun and energetic. She arrived at 7am to begin all...
9 of the individuals getting their make up done by her. She was just as fun and spunky at 7am as she was at 1pm when I did my trail. Every bridesmaids and mom have different skin tones and features and she adjusted to each one of them! Andrea is very personable and allows you to look the way YOU want to look. If you want to be natural, she there for it. If you want a little more make up for the big day, she there for it. She truly asks every individual what they want and listens to them. She is also SO approachable! I tried lipstick at trail and I wasn't sure. We tried many different colors and finally decided it wasn't for me and she was so easy to talk to when trying to figure it out. ANDREA IS THE BEST! BOOK HER!
I hired Andrea for my bridal makeup artist after seeing her beautiful work from other weddings on Instagram. I also know her from college, but we recently got back in touch while b...
eing female-owned small businesses. Unfortunately, my wedding was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, so we were unable to see her beautiful work on our wedding day.
Luckily, I had a wedding makeup trial last summer before getting my engagement photos done. I had no idea what I wanted for my wedding makeup, and Andrea put me at ease. We were able to quickly figure out a plan and my makeup felt natural, not cakey, and beautiful. I absolutely love our engagement photos.
If you need a wedding or event makeup artist, seriously, look no further than Andrea Fontana Beauty. I hope she can do my makeup in the future for other events or even family photos. I aspire to be as loving and inclusive as Andrea and I admire her so much for being a strong, female-owned business owner.
I hired Dre after she did the wedding makeup for my sister in law. It was the best decision!!! Not only did she do a fantastic job giving myself and my girls exactly what we wanted...
in terms of makeup, but she has the most fun and energetic spirit, that just brightens up the day! She is truly excited for every client she has and is so engaged in the planning process. She helped me in the months before with skincare routines and advised me what foods promote skin health, or the opposite. I would hire her again and again and again!!!
Andrea and I go back to undergrad days at MSU and reconnecting with her through my wedding was so much fun. I remember asking her what her plans were after graduation and her telli...
ng me she wants to make people feel beautiful. A human-bio major with a career shift, this was her calling. She went above and beyond the call of a makeup artist. A trained esthetician, Andrea gave me tons of skincare advice during my trial for the months leading up to my big day. She brings so much fun energy to the day, literally contouring to the beat while rapping all the lyrics to Lizzo with my bridal party. And her work is AMAZING. She made all of my already beautiful girls look that much more glamorous.
Dre made me feel absolutely beautiful the day of my wedding. When she met with me for a consultation she asked all of the important questions and took detailed notes. She knew exac...
tly what look to create on the day of my wedding and made me feel at ease. My bridesmaids also had their makeup done and loved it! Dre is fun and energetic, while professional and knowledgeable of all things beauty!
Andrea was amazing! Simply the best. She soothed my nerves, made me giggle and more importantly made us (bride, MOH, Bridesmaid, and 2 moms) look and therefore feel our best.
She...
came to my home, set up, snuggled with the pup and got to work. And we were all beautiful ahead of schedule.
I cannot say enough, she’s amazing. She made me feel amazing. She helped me look amazing and she took care of everyone on the team!
Wow where do I even start with Andrea? She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever been in my life. She listened to exactly what I wanted. She came and spent a FULL day with u...
s doing 10 of us! She does incredible work, and if that wasn’t enough she is an amazing human being! I laughed with her, cried with her, danced with her and sat in silence with her! She’s more than a make up artist and felt like a long time friend was doing my makeup. She helped me get me pre wedding jitters out and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else for my wedding. She is a must have for your wedding!
I've known Andrea since high school and as soon as I started planning my March 2019 wedding, I knew she was going to be the one doing my makeup! She came into the room, hugged ever...
yone (she's always been a great hugger!) and began doing the first of 7 people's makeup. We finished in record time, she stayed on schedule and made sure we felt comfortable with what she was doing. She is a very relatable, knowledgable and complimentary person and is so good at what she does! I would recommend her to anyone for anything, she's a great life coach and cook, too! :)
I hired Andrea to do my makeup for my wedding. She showed up early, was friendly, bubbly and happy and made the entire wedding party feel beautiful. On top of that , she is master...
ful with her makeup skills! And all for a very reasonable price. I was beyond satisfied. In fact, we liked her so much that my sister hired her to do her wedding makeup! If you're looking for a makeup professional, look no further. You can't do better than Andrea!!
Andrea is amazing and a true professional in every sense of the word! She's a great communicator, super responsive, very knowledgeable about skin care and makeup, and deeply cares ...
about her clients! Andrea isn't the type of person who just shows up the day of the wedding. She was truly invested in me and I felt like she was a part of my engagement and wedding planning process providing support every step of the way! Not to mention, she made my bridesmaids and I feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! Andrea is so sweet, fairly priced, a great artist, and all around wonderful person. Book her asap!
Andrea did a fantastic job in making me feel extra beautiful on my special day. She made me feel super comfortable and listened my ideas for how I wanted my make up to look. She wa...
s wonderful to work with and very professional! I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a MUA. She is the best of the best!
Andrea did the makeup for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. I cannot tell you how beautiful she made us all look. She does JUST the right amount of makeup. I am not a person...
that wears a lot of it, and she is very understanding and conscious of that. She is also incredibly knowledgeable about all things skin-care (aka do a trial a couple months before the wedding so she can tell you how to prep with your meals as well as your topical skin products). She's fantastic at having the makeup accentuate the person and using different styles to get the effect you want. The most wonderful thing is that she somehow got all of us to look like the best versions of ourselves using our natural beauty, while not looking over-done. She also covered up a large scar on my now mother-in-law's arm, and I think it made her night to not have that visible. She's professional, efficient, and clearly loves what she does.
Andrea is very knowledgeable about the products she uses and makes sure it is the best for your skin. She is professional, efficient and part of the event! She did my makeup for en...
gagement photos and the bridal party make up for the big day! She made the day go so smoothly and added to the fun!! 11/10 would recommend!!
