Reviews for BEAUTY by Bethany
GUEST
Bethany is awesome! She was prompt in all email communications & phone calls before the wedding. She was very clear about her charges & we knew up front what our total bill would be. Her contract was easy to understand & was very easy, as we were able to fill it out via email. Her studio was easy to find with the map she provided. The pre-wedding session was great, not rushed at all & she made us feel very comfortable. My daughter came in with a pretty good idea of the look she wanted & Bethany was all for that. She made some suggestions & they had a good repoir between them. She did a couple of different looks just so we could see & make sure my daughter got the look she was completely satisfied. She arrived for the pre-wedding session very promptly & while she was very professional in doing her work, she still talked & joked around with us & we had a reallly good time getting ready for the wedding. She had individual items to sell, like the lipsticks & glosses that she used on us, but she was not at all pushy with them. We all did end up buying what she used on us though because they were great! She did the airbrush on us around 10 a.m. The wedding was outdoors & even through tears, hugs & a long day, all of our makeup stayed on & looked as great as it did when Bethany applied it. Mine still looked so good after midnight that I hated to wash it off! :) Just a funny side note....my daughter said for once in her life she didn't wash her face that night before she went to bed. When she got up early the next morning to shower before going to the airport, she said her makeup still looked great! haha! In saying that, she & I both found that the makeup was very easily removed. I would highly recommend Bethany for any event, whether it be a wedding, prom or anything else where you want to look fantastic!
GUEST
Bethany was an absolute pleasure to work with and did a fabulous job on all of our make-up. It held up all day and night even through the sweat and tears! The photagraphs turned out beautiful thanks to Bethany! Highly recommend her services!
GUEST
Bethany is such an AMAZING makeup artist. She is so great at finding the perfect look for her clients. My bridesmaids and I had the best time with Bethany the day of my wedding. She is such a relaxed and fun person, which is exactly what every bride needs on their wedding day. I could not be happier with my experience. Thank you Bethany for being such a big part of our wedding day and for making me feel absolutely beautiful.
GUEST
Bethany is fabulous!! She was very professional and worked with me to coordinate and achieve the perfect look for my big day. At first, I thought of doing my own makeup, but I am so glad that I chose to have it professionally done. Bethany alleviated much of my wedding day stress and anxiety, and it was a real treat to have my makeup taken care of. My makeup was flawless and lasted the whole day and night of my wedding. I cannot say enough good things!!
GUEST
Bethany was a true savior to me on my wedding day. She was recommended to me by another wedding vendor I was using and thankfully, she happened to be available on my day! Any concerns I had with my breakouts completely vanished after my trial run with Bethany. She is so very talented and incredibly easy to work with. I have recommended her to all my friends who are getting married. Thanks to her, I looked amazing on my wedding day and all my wedding pictures look great!! Thank you Bethany :)
GUEST
I was so pleased with the work Bethany did for me. I felt like a princess the whole day and everyone commented on how beautiful I looked. Bethany was very down to earth and made me feel very relaxed and at ease at both the makeup trial and the wedding day. I would recommend Bethany to anyone for their special day!
GUEST
Bethany was very easy to work with and helped to keep me calm on my wedding day! But more than anything, she did a fantastic job on my makeup. I have never gotten so many compliments (even from my dad and grandfather who usually never notice this sort of stuff-haha) on my makeup. I am very happy that I chose her for my Big Day.
GUEST
I have never felt so beautiful! Bethany really provided that finishing touch I needed on my wedding day. I felt absolutely flawless and I never had to worry about a thing. Knowing that my makeup was in Bethany's hands, a weight was lifted from my shoulders and it really helped me relax on the happiest day of my life. Bethany was such a sweetheart and impressively professional. My money was well-spent!
GUEST
Beauty by Bethany (Bethany Tiesman) exceeded our expectations for bridal day beauty! She had the entire wedding party looking beautiful and feeling confident. She was professional and efficient, yet made each girl feel that she was the only one getting "done" that day.
GUEST
My bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law, and my makeup for my wedding was AMAZING! Bethany did such a good job and our makeup stayed throughout the whole day and night, which was one of my biggest concerns. Our pictures looked awesome and the airbrushing really made a big difference in making our pictures look flawless. I would highly recommend using Beauty by Bethany because I know you will be as impressed as I was!
GUEST
Bethany is amazing! Her work is so beautiful and flawless! I loved that she came to my home on my wedding day. It was so nice being able to relax on such a busy day and Bethany does an amazing job at making you feel relaxed and ready to take on the most important day of your life. My makeup was stunning and it held up the entire day and night even in very humid weather. I received many compliments on my skin and makeup that special day. Bethany is the very best and I would defintely recommend her!
GUEST
Bethany was very professional and wonderful to work with. She made me and my mother feel at ease and created our makeup into something "Magical". My mother was beautiful beside myself on my special day!. So many guests said so.
GUEST
Bethany was very professional and an amazing person to work with. She was flexible with scheduling and accommodated my every need prior as well as the day of my wedding. I highly recommend this skilled individeal to do your make-up on one of the most special days of your life!
GUEST
Bethany is wonderful! She does a full trial run so that you can see exactly how your makeup will look, and she is very flexible in scheduling times to meet with her clients. Bethany helped me select colors that would compliment my complexion, and made me feel very comfortable that I was going to be happy with my makeup on my wedding day. I could not have been more pleased with her services. My photos turned out beautiful, and I owe it all to Bethany! I would highly recommend Beauty by Bethany to any bride and her bridal party, or to anyone who is having professional photos made, who wants to look flawless!
GUEST
I absolutely loved Bethany's work, will use her again if the situation arises, and my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well. I have no complaints other than it was pretty expensive; I know other brides who didn't pay nearly as much for their makeup services. But I was very very happy with mine!
GUEST
It was worth every penny. I would highly recommend getting your make-up done by Bethany!
GUEST
I had my makeup done for my wedding and I recieved several compliments.
GUEST
The only complaint I had is that she double-booked my make-up trial appointment. My trial ended up being rushed and it didn't make me feel like I was important.
On the actual day, Bethany did a wonderful job!
Vendor response to review
Hi Candace,
I am sorry that you felt unimportant and rushed at your trial. That is obviously NEVER my intention. As we all know we can make mistakes...I took responsibility for the mistake and apologized profusely. However, I am glad that you felt beautiful and had a wonderful experience on your actual wedding day. That is my goal to make brides look and feel beautiful!
Although I am saddened by your review, I appreciate your honesty. I am always looking for ways to improve on the services I offer as my business is growing. I will use your review to improve my business.
Thank you,
Bethany Tiesman

Bethany was great! She was easy to work with and she ensured that I looked fabulous on my wedding day.
GUEST
Bethany was wonderful! She was very friendly and professional. She came to the hotel I was staying at to do my makeup for my wedding. She was on time and she got the job done fast but great, and she was almost 9 months pregnant too!! I get break outs easily so I really wanted to make sure to have good airbrush makeup so I would look flawless on my wedding day. She did a wonderful job! My makeup was perfect and it stayed on all night! I tell everyone to use her!
GUEST
Bethany did my make-up for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day. She was amazing! Honestly, she was the one vendor that exceeded my expectations and gave me exactly what I wanted. Again, very pleased with her service!
GUEST
Bethany is the most amazing make-up artist and did an absolutely wonderful job (along with her assistant) on the wedding makeup for not only me, but my wedding party, Mom, MIL, Aunt and even my two young nieces. It was very easy to deal with her during the planning phases of the wedding and this says a lot since I was planning the wedding from another city! She did a great make-up run through with me to ensure we had everything set for the big day and I really appreciated how calm (yet energetic) she was when she arrived at my Mom's house at 8 am the day of the wedding. I love it that she sells her own brand of make-up and also has convenient small samples of it for you to purchase in a nice little "bridal kit"- it came in really handy throughout the day when I needed to touch up my lips. Overall, it was a great experience and I couldn't recommend her enough!
GUEST
Bethany was extremely professinal and did an amazing job. My makeup was the best it has ever looked an it was exactly what I was looking for.
GUEST
Bethany was such a wonderful part of my wedding. She did a great job with my make-up as well as my wedding party's make-up. She was such a nice person and brought a very calm attitude to a crazy day. I am so glad I used her for my photo and wedding make-up and would highly recommend her work.
GUEST
Bethany is indeed an artist and, dare I say, miracle worker. She made me look my absolute best, better than I thought possible. And kept her cool and was super professional and friendly throughout my did-not-go-as-planned/do-it-yourself wedding.
One of Louisville's Finest Make-up artists!
Bethany does a lovely job bringing out the best in beautiful brides!
I am always excited whenever I see that Bethany and I are going to be working together-- I've seen her make dramatic changes that bring out complete radiance in the brides she works with, yet without being overpowering. That's not always the easiest trick to pull off. Her airbrush work is particularly stellar. Very highly recommended!
Bethany is an excellent, professional, reliable make-up artist! She does a fantastic job! She is the one we most highly recommend in all of Louisville.
Bethany is truly an artist. Her makeup applications always have that natural, healthy, stunningly beautiful look. Love working with Bethany... a true professional.
I cannot say enough about Bethany! She is truly an artist and is amazing when it comes to making her clients look their best! And her work truly enhances the portrait work that we do for our clients, whether they be brides, boudoir clients, or models! I recommend Bethany for anyone who wants to look like sheer perfection on a special day!
Bethany Tiesman is an amazing artist, who makes each and every one of her brides feel special and look BEAUTIFUL on their wedding day. She is so very professional and is great to work with. I am proud to have her doing my makeup on my own wedding day!

FAQ for BEAUTY by Bethany
You spend months planning your wedding. On your big day you should be able to relax and let everyone take care of you! You also want to make sure your makeup is photofriendly, long lasting, timeless, fresh, flawless, and beautiful!
2. What is airbrush makeup?
Airbrush makeup is makeup that is sprayed on with an airbrush. This creates an ultra fine mist that is able to give coverage without looking cakey or dry. Here are some advantages of airbrush makeup:
a) long lasting
b) requires little touch up's
c) looks fresh, natural, and flawless
d) feels weightless
e) perfect for all skin types: normal, dry, oily, sensitive, acne prone, and mature
3. I've had my makeup airbrushed before and did not like it...why would you be any different?
When applied correctly airbrush makeup should feel weightless, look natural, and be flawless. I have had extensive training in airbrush makeup to ensure that it is applied correctly and safely. I also use a high quality makeup that is specially formulated for airbrush guns. If you had someone inexperiences or not using an airbrush formulated makeup this could contribute to a bad experience that gives airbrush makeup, and makeup artists, a bad name.
4. I have sensitive skin...can I still be airbrushed?
Yes! Airbrush makeup (as well as other products I use) is oil free and has gentle ingredients. You will be able to experience the makeup at your trial run to know how your makeup will look and feel on the day of your wedding.
5. Can you cover tattoos?
Yes. Tattoo covering is an additional charge from $25 and up depending on the size/coloring of the tattoo.
6. How far in advance do I need to book?
For weddings book as soon as possible. I have brides that book me from a couple of months before to a year...or two...before. Call/email me about your specific date/time.
7. What do I need to do to reserve my date and time?
Contact Bethany to receive a contract and quote for your wedding. A completed contract and 50% of your total balance is due to secure your date/time.
8. Do you travel outside of the Louisville area for brides?
Yes! I have traveled all over KY and Indiana for bridal parties. I am also available for destination weddings.
9. Can you stay for touchups?
Yes! I offer a day rate so that I can stay after your initial application until the start of your reception for touchups. Details are listed under "Bridal BEAUTY".
10. What if you don't stay to do touch ups? Will the makeup last?
Airbrush makeup is extremely long lasting. However, throughout the day you will need to touch up your lipcolor, lipliner, and use a blotting powder to minimize shine. I will leave a touch up it with you to ensure the application.
11. What brands of makeup do you use?
I use Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, M.A.C., Chanel, NARS, Makeup Forever, Smashbox, BEAUTY by Bethany cosmetics, etc.
12. Can I purchase the makeup you use on me?
Yes, I carry most of the products I use on you in my studio or I can tell you where to purchase them.
13. Do you teach lessons?
I do teach private lessons for individuals and beauty nights for small groups.
14. Do you do hair?
I do hair for mostly photoshoots and commercial work. I do not do bridal hair but I do highly recommend these professionals. They do beautiful work and can also come to you as well.

15. Do you have any other suggestions for my wedding?
Definitely.
* Book your hair stylist to come to you as well. This not only ensures that their focus is on you and your party but it saves you time and a trip to the salon. This is also a great way for your stylist and makeup artist to be working simultaneously. I would highly suggest you and your bridal party get ready in one place.
*Eyebrows! The perfect look can not happen without perfectly groomed eyebrows. I recommend discussing your options at your trial. I prefer to create a beautifully sculpted brow by waxing and can do so at your trial. However, depending on the timeline of your trial, you may need them touched up before your big day. Please have your brows waxed the week before your wedding! This will ensure that your eyebrows will be perfect for your wedding.
*Book a facial 2-3 months prior to your wedding...and no later. You want you skin to be glowing and fresh and by having one 2-3 months prior you will ensure that there is no last minute reaction.
*Exchange gifts with your fiance the night before your wedding or before you makeup application is to begin the day of your wedding. Is it enevitable that your emotions will be running wild with excitement and happiness on your wedding day. It is also enevitable that as soon as I am done doing a bride's makeup in walks someone with a gift for her causing her to cry. It is just easier to get the tears out of the way before your makeup application to make sure it is absolutely fresh and flawless!
