Blend Beauty (Cynthia Sally Makeup & Hair)

I can't say enough good things about Blend Beauty! From my first initial contact with Cynthia to my wedding day make up by Maris, I could not have been happier!Cynthia made it very easy for me to set up my trial and wedding day appointments with Maris and was flexible with payments for my bridesmaids. Great value compared to other vendors for airbrush make up. My mom was skeptical about airbrush at first, but she ended up loving it and looked great! Maris always checked with me to see if I liked how everything looked; both during my trial and on my wedding day. She gave me some great suggestions and made sure the eyelashes didn't bug the heck out of me :)

I had a great experience with Cynthia! She was very responsive, very helpful, and just overall great to work with. Additionally, my make-up was flawless the entire day!I would hands down reccommend Cynthia to other engaged women looking for a make-up artist for their wedding. Hope to have a reason myself to use Cynthia again!

Words cannot express my experience with Cynthia. She was amazing, she is so sweet and my makeup looked amazing. I didn't have to worry about even checking it in the mirror the whole night. She made me look like a better version of myself! She did all my bridesmaids and my mom's makeup awesome too! We were all talking about her the next day and how we can't wait to find some excuse to get our makeup done again!!! Laura Freeman

Cynthia Sally has provided her services to me on two occasions, my brother's wedding and my own. I cannot emphasize enough how pleased all my bridemaids and I are with her services. Cynthia Sally is a true artist of the color palette; she masterfully accents clients beauties and diminishes any client- perceived flaws. All the pictures I have taken after using her service are GORGEOUS! Furthermore, she is also extremely professional and patient with her high strung clientelle. I would strongly recommend her to any bride, bridesmaid, or woman going out on the town on a special night. Her services are of top model quality!

I was lucky enough to book Cynthia right before she increased her rates but either way, I'd say she was worth every penny. I felt completely glamorous and beautiful on my big day and really can't thank her enough. She not only did my makeup but my mother and two bridesmaids and everyone looked gorgeous! And my advice to any bride - get the false eyelashes!!

I was beyond pleased with my wedding makeup. Cynthia listened to me when I described what I wanted and nailed it! :)

Cynthia was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved the way their makeup looked. I would highly recommend her to any bride. She fit right in with everyone on our wedding day. I could not rave about her more!

Cynthia Sally is a magic artist not a make-up artist! She transformed myself and my friends/family into the best version of ourselves without looking overdone. She complimented each of our best features and made anyone's flaws disappear. Honestly I cried throughout the day/night and I looked the same from 8 a.m. in the morning to the end of the evening! She is an incredibly talented, professional, and easy to communicate with person and is a perfectionist to a T. Anyone who works with her is extremely lucky and in the best of make-artistry hands! Wish I could give her more 10 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cynthia was AMAZING to work with on our wedding day! She did my makeup, the makeup of all 5 of my bridesmaids, my mom, AND my three aunts - and pleased them all! Not only did we look fabulous, but our makeup lasted through EVERYTHING, even three hours of dancing...and Cynthia was such a calming and professional presence for the many hours of us getting ready. I highly recommend her!

Cynthia was great to work with. She did my make-up and 3 of my bridesmaids, one of whom never wears make-up. She was happy with Cynthia's work when she was done. I thought all 4 of us looked great. I would definitely recommend Cynthia Sally for make-up!

Cynthia does awesome work and is such a value to a budget conscious bride! Recommend!

I absolutely LOVED what Cynthia did for my MU trial, ceremony make up and reception make up (since we had our ceremony and reception on separate days). She was absolutely wonderful to work with and she made me look like the best version of myself!!! She made my eyes pop and kept my freckles showing (which is what I wanted) and we got that once in a lifetime "jaw-dropping" moment out of my husband which I'll have for the rest of my life. I would highly, highly recommend Cynthia Sally MUA to anyone who wants to look fabulous on their big day!

Loved, Loved, Cynthia Sally! She was professional but not over the top! Plus, she LISTENS! She is also very reasonable and a great pleasure to work with! Even my picky sisters liked their makeup! I would soooooo work with her again!

Cynthia Sally was a wonderful choice - I could not have been more satisfied! She not only helped me feel like a princess on my wedding day, but she was also very responsive to other general makeup questions leading up to the big day. Being someone who does not normally wear much makeup, Cynthia took the time to explain her application choices and use our trial as a teaching session and resource. I found her through numerous positive online reviews & couldn't be happier that I contracted with her for the big day. She truly knows what looks best on every skin type as she worked on 7 different people the morning of the wedding. I loved the airbrushing! I would recommend Cynthia to anyone, not only for affordability based on similar vendors, but also on attitude, responsiveness and overall quality service.

I booked Cynthia last minute as my wedding day make-up artist because another artist cancelled on me. I?m so glad I had the opportunity to work with Cynthia instead. Not only did I love the make-up, but her prices are awesome! I recommend a trial, just to see what you like, but either way Cynthia will make you look stunning. If you are looking for an easy to work with, fun, inexpensive, Chicago area wedding day make-up artist, I highly recommend Cynthia Sally.

It was so important to me to enjoy the pre-wedding day activities and Cynthia fit right in! She provided make up to me and my bridesmaids and mother and everyone was ecstatic to be pampered by such a friendly person. We all looked beautiful! She was very professional and a joy to be around... thank you!

Cynthia made me look my best on my wedding day! She was awesome and would hire her again for anything!

If I could rate Cynthia higher than 5 stars for "value for cost" I would. She did such an amazing job with me and my bridesmaids! I didn't want to pay a ton of money for makeup (and didn't want my BM's paying a ton either) and Cynthia did an amazing job and was (in my opinion) very reasonably priced. She did such a great job bringing out the best attributes of each of the girls! Even now when I look back at pictures of when we were getting ready for the wedding, I think "wow my makeup looked AWESOME". I highly recommend Cynthia!

Cynthia Sally is awesome to work with! She is talented, fun, and laid back! She made me and my bridesmaids look beautiful. I would use her again in a heart beat! If you are looking for a great maek-up artist, I would definitly contact Cynthia :)

I can not say enough what an awesome job Cynthia did. I booked her less than a month from my wedding. She was awesome, and I would refer her services to everyone.

Cynthia was great! I booked her to do the make up of just my bridesmaids. She made every single one of them look amazing.. they were all thrilled! She was so sweet and is extremely well priced, especially because she used airbrushing too.I was so glad I found her for my bridesmaids, I would highly reccommend her to other brides!

Cynthia was great! I will definitely recommend her in the future and use her services again if I need makeup done. Of course I wanted to look beautiful on my wedding day and I loved what she Did for me and my bridal party.

Becky was AWESOME!!! My only complaint is that my hair fell slightly, and I'm hoping that the photographer can work some magic... Wish I would have double checked that the pins were more secure.

Hi Cynthia!
You did such a great job. :-) Now I'm trying to figure out what other fun events I can think of for you to do my makeup again! Thank you for everything!

Thank you sooo much for everything on my wedding day! You were fabulous and all the girls were raving about their make up!

Cynthia is just absolutely fabulous when it comes to makeup. We've worked together before in several events and the brides looked stunning each time. She also provides lots of beauty tips. Highly recommended!!

Cynthia is my favorite makeup artist to work on weddings with. Not only is she completely knowledgable about makeup but also will adjust what she does to my photographic style. I use her for all of my boudoir sessions as well and all the girls absolutely love their makeup! Cynthia is sweet, kind and just fun to be around, she'd be a great addition to your day!

I have had the pleasure of working with Cynthia and her team at several weddings and have always been impressed with their work. The brides and bridesmaids have always looked fantastic. I am not only impressed by Cynthia’s expertise but her professionalism. On top of all that she is a very friendly and fun person and a real pleasure to work with!

I've worked with Cynthia on a few weddings now, and she is just fantastic. No matter what the style of the wedding and/or the wedding party, she applies just the right amount of make-up, so everyone looks their best... not too overdone or underdone. And, as a photographer, I really appreciate that even in super close-up shots, skin tones and skin textures look flawless. I wish all my clients would hire her!

Cynthia did my make up for both my ceremony and reception. She made me the BEST VERSION OF MYSELF, which is EXACTLY what I wanted. My husband's jaw dropped when he saw me for the first time and that was all I was hoping for--but I got so many compliments from everyone and I love looking back at our photos too. My make up rocked! And working with Cynthia is a total joy. I loved her so much that I've recommended her to a bunch of my clients who have also used her for their wedding day make up--and they too loved her. She is great at what she does!!!
