Using Blush Makeup Studio for my wedding day was one of the best choices I could have made. Like any bride, I was totally paranoid about my skin before the wedding and of course wanted it to look flawless.

I went into the studio for a trial and met with Alyssa for a couple of hours and she was just incredible. She has a very impressive background in the industry and is extremely talented. Alyssa took the time to listen and get to know me right away- the style of my wedding dress, my typical makeup/skincare routine and the kind of look I had in mind for my wedding day makeup. From there, Alyssa was able to put together a color scheme that worked for my skintone and would give me the look I was hoping for. She even gave me tips on skincare and makeup application!

I've never been one to wear foundation or heavy makeup so I was a little nervous to see how this was going to come out. I also didn't know whether I should have tried airbrushing, but Alyssa rightfully talked me out of it and I was so greatful for the advice. I have very sensitive skin and most likely would have had a reaction to the airbrushing. And at the end of May, it's not worth the risk of having your makeup run if you start to sweat. Anyway, once Alyssa finished, I could not get over how natural my makeup looked. It was amazing how well the foundation matched my skintone- you couldn't even tell it was there. She did an incredible job on my eyes, too. I've never been able to recreate it, and I thought I was pretty good myself, haha. Then she took some pictures and wrote everything down to remember what to do on the big day and we stayed in touch about all the details right up until the wedding.

The morning of the wedding, Alyssa came to my house bright and early. She did my sister's makeup, my mom's, my sister-in-law's, mother-in-law's and mine. Obviously the majority of the time was spent on mine so everyone else sort of works around when the bride needs to go, depending on when the hairstylist needs you, etc. Again, Alyssa does amazing work. I've never seen my mom and sister look so beautiful. Our pictures came out better than I ever could have imagined.

I had asked Alyssa if she could possibly stay until after the wedding ceremony because I thought for sure my makeup would need touching up after crying at the church. Not only did she go to the church with us, but she then came to our reception and stayed with me while we had all of our pictures taken before cocktail hour. She kept touching up my makeup as needed and was just generally helpful in so many ways. Several of our guests couldn't believe she was there and how nice that was. I felt so special that day, and Alyssa was a big part of it. For all the time I spent worrying about my skin looking perfect, Alyssa was a life saver. I have never felt as beautiful as I did that day. I wish I had an excuse to have my makeup done more often because Alyssa would be getting a lot more business from me!

I cannot say enough about her... Alyssa is the best. So sweet and personable, she really takes the time to get to know you and I am forever grateful to her. I can't imagine using another makeup artist now. I will follow her wherever she goes! Thank you, Alyssa!
