I worked with Jhori for my wedding in July and it was an INCREDIBLE experience. She is so wildly talented. I had never really gotten my makeup professionally done before, and she m...
ade sure to make me still feel like myself but elevated. I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. I still felt like me, but a bridal version of me! She is also just a great person and her energy was amazing to have around on wedding day. My officiant, my sister, my mom, and a bridesmaid also got their makeup done with Jhori and were raving about how they felt as well. Thank you thank you Jhori!
Jhori delivers, hands down! I went into my bridal trial nervous just based on how minimally I wear makeup and walked out confident and excited to have her be a part of our big day....
When I wanted some slight tweaks going from trial to the actual day she pivoted perfectly, helping me feel completely confident and beautiful for the entire event. She's talented, communicative and all around great person to have around during such a busy morning. My and my bridesmaids looks lasted all day (even through a brief touch of rain) and the pictures came out excellent; I'm so grateful to have had her!
Jhori is absolutely amazing. More than one of my bridesmaids said that she was the best makeup they’ve ever gotten done. I’m truly not someone who wears makeup, some mascara and I’...
m good, so I was worried to get my makeup done for my wedding. I told Jhori I wanted someone natural that simply emphasized my features and she knocked it out of the park. I felt so naturally beautiful. I got SO many compliments not just on my own makeup but about all my bridesmaids and mothers make up. On top of it all, Jhori is super awesome to work with. She’s easy to talk to, professional and was so fun. She brought great energy to getting ready. Book her!!
Jhori is absolutely amazing! I have known her since high school and for all my make up needs- she is where I go! From the moment I inquired on pricing until my wedding day- the com...
munication and planning with Jhori was seamless. I had a make up trial and although it was perfecttt, I had a few minor tweaks I wanted changed for my big day and she mastered it flawlessly. She showed up calm, cool, and collected which is exactly what you want on your wedding morning. She connected with everyone who was getting their make up done (including a very crabby 3 year old) and nailed everyone’s vision precisely. Our wedding (like most) was VERY emotional. Lots of tears were shed and I didn’t have a single problem with my make up holding up- no water lines at all! Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it.
Jhori is amazing! She did mine and 5 bridesmaids makeup by herself. I never wear makeup, and she was able to do a lovely natural look that still felt like me. She even gives you a ...
little touch up kit for later in the night.
I felt absolutely stunning!! She killed it!!! I sent her a picture of what I wanted and she blew me away with my makeup!! I felt so beautiful and my makeup stayed the entire time! ...
She not only does an amazing job with the makeup, but she is so easy to work with and has such a sweet personality! I wanted a more natural look and she provided! HIGHLY recommend her!!
I was so fortunate to find Jhori for our wedding day! She is so easy to work with, and made the day run so smoothly. Not only is her makeup amazing, but her personality is top tier...

I was so lucky to have found Jhori for my wedding make up. She is SO incredibly talented, professional, efficient, organized, and a calming presence on such a nerve wracking day. M...
y bridesmaids and mom walked away from getting their make up done so happy with their looks, each saying how incredible she was. I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding day or any event! The beauty of her make up is that we all still looked like ourselves, just glammed up. No one walked away feeling over done up, and all of our make up lasted the entire day. After 12 hours, my make up looked just as good as when it was first applied, which is saying something for a June wedding. I cannot say enough about jhori, she’s the best! Work with her for a great experience and day.
Jhori is hands down the absolute best makeup artist around. She did myself and my bridal party of 11 girls insanely quick - and we all looked amazing. Jhori will listen to exactly ...
what you want - whether it’s full glam or very natural. Not to mention she’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet and just lovely to be around. Don’t hesitate to book Jhori for any and all of your makeup needs!❤️
Jhori is the BEST!!! She glammed me to absolute perfection while still keeping the look "me". I felt like a goddess and was in the best hands.
Jhori is simply the BEST! Not only have I worked with her as a fellow wedding vendor, but I hired her as my makeup artist for my wedding in November and she did such an amazing jo...
b! She has such a calming presence which every bride needs the day of! Thank you for making me feel so beautiful, Jhori!
Jhori did makeup for me and my girls for my winter wedding and I was so thrilled with the end result! Jhori is a true professional - talented beyond measure, super chill, down to ...
earth, and great to work with. She was easy to communicate with and super flexible. I only wish her studio was closer so I could see her more regularly!
I cannot say enough great things about Jhori. I have worked with her many times over the years with different things and she has always been amazing, however she exceeded all of my...
expectations for my wedding. I don't wear makeup often and Jhori was able to make it so I felt like I had barely any makeup on. The fake lashes she uses were perfect, looked natural and felt like there was no fake lashes on at all. She has always been so kind and patient and is just a super talented person. So happy I was able to book her for our wedding!
Where do I even begin. Jhori. is. AMAZING. I am not the type of girl to wear make up on a daily basis and the way she did my wedding makeup made me feel SO beautiful but feel like...
me at the same time! We got our pictures back and my makeup photographed so well in them, I am obsessed. She is very talented, efficient (we had a large group of girls), and accommodating. She will do whatever style of makeup that you request (glam, natural etc.) she is also SUPER willing to travel which was awesome for our 10/01/23 Lake Placid wedding. Jhori becomes your friend when you are in her chair and you will feel very relaxed, especially on your wedding morning. Do not hesitate, book Jhori for your wedding makeup needs! Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day :) You will forever be my go to for special event makeup needs.
The absolute BEST makeup artist for any special occasion. Thank you Jhori for making my makeup vision possible on my big day!
Jhori was the absolute best makeup artist for my August 2023 wedding! She did my makeup along with my 4 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom! Not only is she ex...
tremely talented, but she is so sweet! She really made the getting ready process so relaxing and we all had so much fun just chatting with her. She really listed to each girls vision for their makeup and she truly brought it to life! She was one of the first people I booked for my wedding and I could not be happier with that decision. Jhori, you are such a light. Thank you SO much for making me and my loved ones look and feel their best on my wedding day!
Jhori has done my makeup for numerous events! As well as all of my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG for my wedding last year. I cannot rave about her enough. She makes each and every person...
that sits in front of her feel like they’ve been friends forever. Not to mention how beautiful she makes us all feel 🤍 I will continue to use her in the future for sure!!!
I could give 1,000 stars! Jhori is the kindest person and does brilliant work! She will travel super early in the morning to make sure she gives enough time. She works so fast but...
still gives each person such individualized attention to make sure they feel/look their very best! Hands down the best MUA in the area- actually probably the whole state. She does book out pretty quickly so make sure you put in your date early on! Thanks again Jhori you made my day such a breeze. Also so happy you were able to cover up my eye bags since getting up at 5 AM.
Side note- she was also able to cover up my sternum tattoo and it looked exactly like my skin tone!
Jhori did my wedding makeup for myself and 7 others for my wedding in June 2023. I am so blessed to have had such an amazing makeup artist for my special day. I booked jhori over a...
year in advance and I am so glad I did. During the makeup trial she was very attentive and listened to what my likes and dislikes were, and helped choose the best options for my skin. The day of the wedding, she worked so hard to make each and every one of my girls beautiful. She knew the time line she was working with and she was able to work efficiently to get everyone done in time but also made sure she had enough time for each girl to make sure everyone looked perfect. I don’t think I have ever felt or looked more beautiful in my life than I did on my wedding day, and it’s all thanks to jhori. I recommend her to anyone looking to have their wedding makeup be beautiful and perfect!
Jhori was a dream makeup artist for my wedding. She has a calming tone and that helped my nerves! She listened to exactly what I wanted, making my vision come to life. 10/10 would ...

If you’re looking for a sign to book with Jhori, this is IT. Her talent is unparalleled, especially with wedding make up. She will bring out your natural beauty! Jhori’s incredible...
work is only beat by her personality. She brought such a calm presence to my wedding day and was available all throughout the wedding planning process. I could go on and on, but Jhori’s work speaks for itself! I would also recommend getting a facial with her a week or so before. It makes your makeup look *chef’s kiss*
Jhori was incredibly communicative, super sweet, and did an AMAZING job on my bridal makeup. It came out better than I could have imagined. Not only that, but the entire wedding pa...
rty loved their makeup and that’s no easy feat. She’s incredibly talented and I highly recommend booking with her!

Where do I even begin? I cannot say enough positive things about Jhori to convey my gratitude and appreciation for her and my wedding experience with her. Jhori is so kind, profess...
ional, talented and genuinely cares about her brides. I enjoyed working with her from makeup trial to the big day itself. She was a radiant light of joy the morning of my wedding. She made everyone she worked with feel like a celebrity and the prettiest versions of ourselves and I feel very fortunate to have found her and secured her as part of our wedding team for our special day. She really makes your wedding vision come to life and I could not be more satisfied with my experience. Any bride that gets to work with her should consider themselves lucky. Thank you Jhori for all that you did for me.
I hired Jhori to do my makeup for my wedding day after another makeup artist I had reached out to wasn't available and recommended her. I was looking for someone that did natural a...
nd clean looking makeup, and not the super over-the-top glam makeup you envision when you think of typical wedding makeup. Jhori fully understood the look I was going for, and I cannot rave enough about how amazing she was!!!
I am SO beyond happy with her service! Not only did she complete 10 girls makeup in a few short hours, but she did it PERFECTLY. All of my girlfriends were so thrilled with how their makeup turned out, and loved how friendly Jhori was.
Jhori provided all of my bridesmaids and myself with little lipstick containers to-go with the color she used so we can give ourselves touch-ups throughout the night. This is one of the things that sets Jhori apart from any other makeup artist I have used before. From her attentiveness, to thoughtfulness, to talent, I cannot recommend her enough!!!
Jhori does incredible work! From glam to natural to golden bronze, she can do any kind of makeup look beautifully. I went for a more natural look on my big day. She took all of my ...
requests and made me feel heard and beautiful. She was so much fun to work with as well and was super punctual arriving to our remote venue on a farm. You will love working with her!
Absolutely LOVED Jhori. I want her do my make up for all occasions. Not only did she make me feel and look like a queen on my wedding day the make up stayed on all night long. I ...
was completely flawless. She was fun, personable and did an amazing job. She was able to apply perfect (what fit them best) make up to each person in my wedding party…Thanks for talking my MIL & SIL into lashes 🔥
LOVE Jhori! She did my make up for my engagement pictures, my wedding and for my friends wedding that I was a bridesmaids in and I loved it every single time! I hardly ever wear ma...
ke up normally and when I do it’s not much and when Jhori did it I felt myself and didn’t feel or look like it was caked on my face. She’s also the sweetest person and so easy to talk to! Would hire her again if I needed my make up done in a heartbeat!
Jhori has done my makeup 3 times now, once as a bridesmaid and 2 more times for an engagement photo shoot and another photo shoot. Each time her work has been consistent and flawle...
ss. Jhori can capture the full diva glam look or the more soft natural look, and anything in between. She listens to what her clients want and she always delivers. I cannot wait for her to glam me for my wedding in a month!
I don’t think words could ever come close to all of the amazing things I want to convey about Jhori. From the very beginning, she was amazing at accommodating everything involving ...
my wedding party. During our makeup trial, she came right to my home and was SO sweet and personable. (It also helps that she seemed to enjoy my pup just as much as I do!!). The day of the wedding, she was so amazing and truly professional. She made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful! I told her I wanted to still look like myself… and she read my mind and said “You, but more!” And boy did she deliver! I have never felt more comfortable in a full face of makeup EVER. Don’t hesitate. Just book her! You’ll never regret it.
Jhori is nothing short of amazing! She is absolutely incredible at what she does. If you are looking for a make-up artist for any event, do not hesitate to book her! Jhori did the ...
make-up for my wedding day and I couldn’t have been happier with the work she did, my bridesmaids and mother felt the same. I had some slight modifications I was interested in after my trial, she really listed and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Not only does she do natural glam in a way that is sure to make anyone feel beautiful, she is so kind and makes you feel at ease. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
Jhori was great! She was a joy to work with, easy to communicate with, clear about pricing, on time, prepared, and does natural and glam makeup, just like we wanted. She’s a total ...
pro. I found her online and booked her for our wedding without ever meeting her in person - all based on reviews and an initial conversation with her. I’m so glad we did! We would never have known this before meeting her for our trial and wedding day, but she was a calming presence throughout. On what can be a very hectic day, she was calm, easygoing, and great to talk to, all while doing our makeup quickly and efficiently. Everyone who got their makeup done that day was happy with what she did and their conversation while it was happening. Despite me not knowing much about makeup, she arrived and immediately made it feel like she knew exactly who we are and exactly what we needed. Thank you Jhori! We highly recommend her as a wedding and special events makeup artist!

on to do my hair for the big day. The day of the wedding her & Kelly showed up with big smiles on their faces & quickly put my nerves to ease. They are truly the most amazing glam team a bride could ever ask for! They took my wedding vision and made it a reality! My makeup was light & natural and stayed all day even whilst the weather presented challenges during our elopement. Cannot say enough good things about Jhori! I would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

Jhori does an amazing job asking questions to make sure you get the exact look you want. I hired Jhori for my engagement photoshoot, and I had the pleasure of having her do my makeup as a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, as well. She is also incredibly personable and easy to talk to, and will make you feel relaxed in the makeup chair. I can't wait to have her do my wedding makeup!

oes. It was important to me to find someone who understood what I wanted since I never wear makeup- Jhori instantly connected to my wants and needs. Her experience is untouched. She made me feel so amazing on my wedding day and I would recommend her over and over again.

chedule twice. Jhori was incredibly flexible during that time and was great with communication. Jhori is such a talented artist and accommodated everyone’s makeup requests on the big day, from super natural, to full on glam. I loved my wedding makeup, it lasted all day and through our bonfire after party. She is also incredibly easy to work with and made everyone in the wedding party feel super comfortable. Highly recommended!
Jhori is absolutely incredible! I sincerely mean it. BOOK HER NOW. We had my makeup trial a few months before and I decided I wanted to change things up a bit for my wedding day. O...
n the day of the wedding, Jhori was everything you could want in a makeup artist. Great energy, on time, and most importantly, extremely talented in her work. She listened to every detail and answered all my questions. I have sensitive skin and was nervous about some of the makeup products, but Jhori's makeup is great and didn't bother me at all. She made myself and my bridesmaids feel beautiful. I highly recommend her for weddings or any other event. She is great!
P.S. Make sure to book her early because her wedding day slots fill up quick since everyone else sees how awesome she is!

Jhori is truely an artist!! I’ve been following her work for quite some time now. When I got engaged and started looking for wedding vendors I knew right from the start I had to ha...
ve Jhori do my day of wedding make up. She was so easy to work with. We planned out my make up trial for the day of my bridal shower. I got so many compliments that day on how stunning and natural it looked. Then come the wedding day… it was amazing. She showed up early to the venue did make up for myself and the whole wedding party. She truely knows how to bring out everyone features. The whole wedding party loved their looks. We chose to have Jhori use the air brush technique. It was light weight and lasted all day/night. I would highly recommend using Jhori for any of your make up needs. Again she is truely an artist!
First off, Jhori is organized and flexible. I locked her down a year and a half before my actual wedding happened because we had to post pone and she was great with communication a...
nd I would even check in periodically. I personally don't wear a lot of makeup and neither do my bridesmaids, I wanted us to look like us on my wedding day but still like we got our makeup done, yes I'll have my cake and eat it too thank you very much! Jhori's makeup talent is top notch, she is so good at giving you exactly what you want and she's happy to do it. Lastly, my biggest compliment to Jhori is that she fit right in with my girls, she was so friendly and we all felt like we have known her forever, one of the girls if you will! This is so huge because your makeup artist spends most of your morning with you on one of the biggest days of your life, Jhori is pleasant, professional, and a genuinely nice person. If you don't book her NOW, you're making a mistake! Love her!
Jhori was absolutely amazing! I loved my make-up for my wedding, I am not a wear make-up everyday person and she nailed what I wanted. I felt flawless. We used my trial run the day...
of my bachelorette which was so helpful to see how the makeup would hold for the big day, and then we were able to see what I wanted to change the day of. Not only is she great at what she does, but she is also super personable and makes you feel comfortable!
Wow! I can’t say enough great things about my experience. Jhori is so talented. I know absolutely nothing about make up and left it up to the expert to decide what would look best ...
and she hit it out of the park. So sweet and easy to work with. I did the wedding hair and makeup bundle offered on the site with Jhori and Kelly and it was everything I wanted and more. Highly recommend!
I have never felt more beautiful! I usually do not like getting my make up professionally done because I don’t wear much make up normally, I never wear foundation, and I love to se...
e my freckles. In the past, MUAs have caked on the foundation and covered up my freckles. I never liked it. But Jhori?! I showed her a picture of Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex on HER wedding day and said I wanted minimal make up and wanted to see my freckles. And boy did she deliver! I felt…like I glowed! Angelic! I have literally never felt prettier and it lasted all night. I almost cried having to wash my face that evening. And I was simply a bridesmaid! If I can in the future, I will definitely hire her for my wedding! Love your work, Jhori! Thank you!
Jhori did my bridal makeup for my Lake Placid elopement and it was absolutely stunning! I felt so magical on my special day. I gave Jhori complete control and she made me feel so b...
eautiful. Not only did Jhori do an incredible job on my makeup, but she was so sweet and fun to work with! I truly felt like I was hanging out with a friend. It was a dream to have her be part of my elopement! It also rained during our elopement and I got soaked, but my makeup was still 10/10!!! I can’t recommend Jhori enough for wedding makeup and friendship. I will absolutely have her do my makeup for my next big day!

and I appreciate that very much. She is exceptionally talented. I have never felt more beautiful. She does an amazing natural look as well as an all out glam! All of my bridesmaids and mother and mother in law loved her. They even changed their looks after she finished and she just went with it. She listened to what we wanted and tweaked what needed to be fixed. She was so incredibly nice and fun to converse with. Jhori is an amazing makeup artist and I hope to see her again sometime soon!
