Evelyn Abanto

Evelyn is amazing!! She was sweet and professional and really did an amazing job on mine and my mother's make-up for the wedding!! :-)

Evelyn was professional from day one! I scheduled a trial with her a few months before my wedding, and when she was finished with my makeup I knew she was the perfect artist for my wedding day. I didn't bring in any pictures, I just told her what styles I liked, the colors of my wedding, etc and she did an amazing job, better than I could have pictured myself!
I booked her on the spot for my wedding. She was always in constant communication and confirming times & location.
The day of the wedding she arrived right on time, setup quickly and got right to work. She had 7 girls lined up and she worked great with the hair stylist. All of the girls loved their makeup, because she fit the makeup to their personality/liking and really listened to what they envisioned themselves to look like.
She was so professional, but also personable! I’ve told all my girlfriends to use her! One of the best!

If you are a diva who demands the best OR simply a shy girl who has never had her makeup done before, and you want to look AND FEEL like an absolute princess, look no further than the uber talented Evelyn Abanto. Evy's work speaks for itself; she is a true artist, gifted and passionate. My wedding day makeup looked absolutely flawless and stunning, and remained in place all night! Her abilites are tremendous- I felt like Brigitte Bardot! She is so versatile, and can recreate virtually any makeup look. Aside from her obvious talents, Evy is also a total sweetheart! She is down to Earth, flexible, and only happy when her client is 100% satisfied. I promise you- go with Evy and you will NOT be sorry. Cheers to looking like a Goddess!

Best,
Brandee

I got married on October 29-- the day of an unexpected blizzard in October. As you can imagine, I was nervous about how the day would unfold. I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Evelyn, who showed up exactly on time despite the treacherous driving conditions that day. She did phenomenal work. I never felt more beautiful in my life, my mom looked 10 years younger, and I could not keep my eyes off my sister-- all thanks to Evelyn! She is incredibly talented, she uses the best quality products, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I had makeup trials with many people-- and I feel lucky to have found Evelyn Abanto. I recommend her to all brides without hesitation!!!!!!!!!

Evelyn is worth every penny!!!!! She is so sweet, fun to chat with, and most of all- an amazing makeup artist!! She did such a beautiful job on my wedding makeup and everyone noticed! The compliments were non-stop. She also did makeup for my mother and sister the day of the wedding and they looked stunning as well. I recommend Evelyn to every bride out there. You won't make a mistake booking her!! She's the best!

It was a great pleasure working with Evelyn. She made me look absolutely stunning on my wedding day. She is a true professional and a sweet & humble person. She exceeded my expectations. My mother and I looked beautiful, and our makeup lasted all night. Thank you so much Evelyn for helping making my day so special & memorable. I look forward to meeting with you again for future events... XOXO

Evelyn did such a great job on my makeup for my wedding! It lasted all day and night!! She is such a sweetheart and a pleasure to be around!

Evelyn Abanto was the best Make-Up Artist for the Job for my Wedding. I did a Trial with her almost 6 months before my wedding and had to book her the day of!!! Prior to her booking a trail with her, I did a trial with another person. They were nothing compared to Evelyn. Evelyn not only did an outstanding job, but she made me feel so comfortable and was so flexible to what I needed to be done for my wedding day. If you are looking for a Make-Up Artist..please book a trial with Evelyn. She is a true professional at her job, a sweet person and reasonable. Thank you Evelyn for making Me and my 9 bridesmaids look PERFECT on My Wedding day 9/10/2011 :) xoxox <3

Evelyn saved my sanity and made me look better than I've ever looked. She is not only talented, but flexible, professional and responsive!!

My original makeup artist backed out on me with 7 days until my wedding day. I was in a complete panic! I emailed 5 or 6 possibilities at about 11pm on a Sat night and Evelyn replied within the hour. She was very sympathetic and helped me to figure out what I wanted and what makeup concepts would work for me and my maid of honor. She gave me a very reasonable price (she certainly could have gauged me in my desperation) and waived the formal contract and deposit because of the time restraints. We traded pictures and I was doubtful of how it would work without a trial. I don't like very heavy makeup, but still wanted a red carpet look for my evening NYC wedding.

That day, she kept close touch by phone and text (I was running late and she adjusted her travel to accommodate me). She did my makeup SPOT on!! I could not believe it was me in the mirror. She did my mother just as well. What I loved was that she explained what she was doing and why, it would work for my skin tone, or for the lighting or for photos.

She made me look like a model, but more importantly, she gave me peace of mind from the time of her email reply until she finally left our hotel. Very calming, extremely meticulous and extremely good at what she does!

If you want to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day, this is the person to go to. My wedding was on Hurricane Irene (Yes! That very Sunday which had to be postponed to Monday). When I tell you that this woman is not only helpful and professional, but she is also so kind. She was so worried about me, and that showed me how humble she really is. The day of my wedding was nuts, but she accommodated anything and everything that was changed from location to even the style of how I wanted my makeup. She exceeded my expectations. My mother and I looked flawless, and our makeup stood on all day to all night. Lets put it this way, the very next day was my honeymoon, barely had any sleep, went to the airport, and was getting complimented on my makeup at 6 a.m. in the morning lol!!! Thank you so much Evelyn for making my day so special. I am so happy to have found you, and we will definitely be using you again for future events to come! :)

Dear Evelyn,

It was such a pleasure to work with you!!! the look you gave me and my girls was beautiful and flawless. I want to thank you for your level of professionalism and speedy responses during the consultation period, you were always so helpful and kind which made it very easy to trust completely that the morning of my wedding would go smoothly. Thank you so much for eliminating such a large part of my wedding day worries and for helping to create beautiful lifelong memories.

The BEST of the BEST! Evelyn did an AMAZING job with my makeup as well as the entire bridal party. She made me feel like a princess.

I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends, especially future Brides. :)

Love love her! She has an amazing talent and the makeup was flawless. It lasted the entire day!

I just got married in San Juan, Puerto Rico and finding a make artist that wouldn't take advantage of me was not easy. I had 3 others cancel on me after the trials and after telling me that they would do my wedding. I was in tears by the time I found Evelyn. She was so nice, it was like meeting up with a friend after years of not seeing her upon our first meeting. She is a woman of her word. She is amazing at what she does and has a heart of gold. I am blessed to have had her with us. Not only did she make me look like a bride from a magazine, she did an amazing job on my bridal party and mom. She is flexible, considerate, and punctual. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. I am posting my very first review because I know how hard it is to find trust worthy people to work with. You won't find a better person or professional than Evelyn! God bless you Evelyn. I am a fan for LIFE!!!!!

Evelyn does an amazing job for makeup. She is very flexible and worked with me to give me the perfect look that I loved. And I never felt like I was wearing too much makeup. It was perfect! I am indian and it is very hard to find someone who can match my face well and do a great job. But Evelyn has a lot of experience with indians. She does a great job!!

I met Evelyn when I first got engaged and I went to her for a makeup trial.. I booked her right on the spot! She is truly an amazing makeup artist! All of my trials leading up to my wedding day were amazing. On my wedding day, Evelyn was punctual and extremely professional. Most of my bridal party including my mom and mother in law hardly wear any make-up and once they were all made up they looked beautiful. I had the airbrush done and my skin looked flawless. Evelyn is so great to work with! She kept in touch with me throughout my engagement and guided me through some of the planning that I was clueless in. She is truly a humble and amazing person. I highly recommend Evelyn to anyone that is in search of a makeup artist! Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! XOXOXOXOX

Evelyn was awesome! I loved the way she did my makeup, she did exactly what I asked for and it came out beautiful! I wanted it kind of natural looking but still enough to really see and notice in pictures, and that's what she did, I highly recommend her, she was great!

After months of having bad makeup trials, God sent me Evelyn!! I'm a makeup addict and have very high standards for good makeup artists. Evelyn fit the bill! She has the MAC style of doing makeup and she also does airbrush and will do your makeup on site. She made my mom look years younger! Did an amazing job on my two bridesmaids and made me look like an Indian Princess!!! I had so many people coming up to me and commenting on how beautiful I looked and how gorgeous my makeup was! I loved the way I looked on my wedding day and that's all a bride really cares about!!..:) DONT HESITATE! GET EVELYN and DONT THINK TWICE! She will do an AMAZING job! She is a REAL MAKEUP ARTIST!!!!! Her creativity is beyond comprehension and another added bonus is that She is SO SWEET to work with!

Evelyn,

I cant thnak you enough. Everyone looked so great. Myself all night long I got compliments on the beautiful make up. Your work is fabulous and I will defnitely be recommending you. Thank you so much. I will send you the pictures as soon as I get them back.

Yours Truly,

Dawn

Evelyn is the BEST!!! A friend of mine referred me to her when I was looking for a makeup artist for my wedding, and it was the best referral I got!! Saved me so much time and money by not having to go for multiple trials with multiple people. She is so sweet, so professional, and knows exactly what looks beautiful on each person that she works with. She took the time to talk through what I had envisioned for that day and we tried a few different things to see what would work. I wanted a natural look that day - just a better version of me, and she exceeded my expectations. It was the only thing I wasn't worried about that day because I knew I was in the right hands. I got so many compliments, and the makeup lasted all day! I'm still trying to think of other occasions that I could get my makeup done for, so I can work with Evelyn again!! A true professional artist - LOVE HER!!!!

I strongly recommend Evelyn for your wedding makeup. She is someone you can count on to be on time from your trial appointment to the day of your event. Very professional and friendly....she made me feel so comfortable from the start...she listened to what I wanted to look like on my wedding day and achieved my expectations...even the photographer gave me compliments on the great make-up. I had a crazy morning and was not even ready to have my make-up done but she was so understanding and her patience was a relief..I felt less stressed. She made me, my mom, and niece look awesome!

My family and I have been getting our make-up done by Evelyn for years now! We love her. She is professional, dependable and nice. A true artist in this field. If you want to look and feel your best...call Evelyn!

I would highly recommend Evelyn's services for your wedding day or any event that you would like to have your make-up done for. Evelyn was professional, punctual, friendly and so easy to work with! My two bridesmaids who wear very little make-up on a daily basis were shocked at how they looked when Evelyn did their make-up. While still looking natural and like themselves, they both looked gorgeous! As a bride who loves to wear make-up and play with color, I couldn't have been happier with how I looked on my wedding day! Evelyn made me feel comfortable and beautiful!

I've been going to Evelyn since I first met her for my engagement party in 2009! I haven't trusted anyone else to do my make-up since then! It has reached a point where I just let her do her thing with my make-up because I trust her that much :) She also did mine and some of my family members' makeup during the wedding. I received a lot fo compliments on my makeup that day! Even my mom loves her and it's hard to please my mom! Haha! She's always available when I need her and she's become a friend to me :) She exhibits true professionalism and charisma in her art :)

Evelyn,

Evelyn was wonderful! She did my make-up and all four of my bridemaids make-up for my wedding day. She arrived on time ready to go. We all look amazing in the photographs! I would recommend Evelyn to any bride and her wedding party!

Evelyn was wonderful, and I plan on going to her again for future special events. Although my grandmother, mother, sister, and I all wanted different looks on my wedding day...Evelyn made all of us happy, and we all loved our makeup. She was on time, and I asked that she be there nice and early...I believe it was about 7 am! She was friendly and made all of us feel comfortable. Added bonus is that she loves dogs, and that's always a plus for people who have pets. My ceremony was at 11:30 am in the middle of August, and all of our makeup lasted until my afterparty was over at about midnight. Great job, Evelyn...and thank you again! <3 Amanda, Laura, Tina, and Carmela

I recently had a preliminary make-up trial with Evelyn & was totally blown away! It was amazing...an employee from another make-up counter even brought a co-worker to see the job she did on me. I also had Evelyn do my make-up for my engagement photos(she saved my behind on very short notice). She was on time, and did such a wonderful job. I had that make up on for 14 hours & it looked great till the moment I took it off. I cannot wait to have her do my wedding make-up & my bridesmaids!!

***** AFTER WEDDING UPDATE *****

Evelyn is a true gem!!! I can honestly say anyone who books her would not be disappointed! She did my wedding make-up as well as my mom & several bridesmaids -- phenomenal job! All different skin tones in your group? No problem -- Evelyn worked her magic on all of us -- everyone in my bridal party looked positively radiant. If you're considering going with Evelyn -- do it!

Evelyn did an amazing job on my wedding day makeup and for all the bridesmaids and mother's. We all looked beautiful and it lasted the entire day. My fake eyelashes actually lasted till the next day! Our makeup looked wedding appropriate, elegant, and looked awesome in pictures!!!!

Evelyn was wonderful! As most brides usually are..I was hesistant to have my makeup done for my wedding. My trial came out amazing and my wedding day came out even more amazing. Evelyn was professional and reliable and I would recommend her to any bride looking for a fantastic makeup artist!

Evelyn was fantastic. From the first time that I met her for our trial to the day of my wedding. She knows her craft and was able in the first meeting to create a wedding day style for me within one hour that was perfect. Evelyn also did the makeup for my mother and aunt - and created looks for both of them that fit their skin tones and dresses. I will recommend Evelyn to anyone who is looking for a great make-up artist.

Evelyn did make-up for me (Bride), Bridal party, Mom and Aunt. She did an OUTSTANDING job! She was so super nice, so professional, arrived on-time, was great to communicate with, and didn’t make me feel pressured/would have let me change something if I wanted without being annoyed with me or making me feel uncomfortable or feel like she would be offended. I am VERY particular about my make-up and Evelyn -totally got it! She was one of my absolute favorite vendors. My make-up stayed PERFECT ALL DAY! I cannot say enough positive things about her. Choosing make-up and hair were two of the decisions I stressed over the most when planning –and as soon as I had my trial with Evelyn –I knew I had nothing to worry about with my make-up. The finished product was FLAWLESS!!! She is a REAL ARTIST!!! I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. She really just does AMAZING work. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how she does eyes. For me it was the perfect balance between having on just enough make-up so that you look your best -without looking overdone. I received so many compliments. My make-up was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION both in-person and in my pictures!

Evelyn made myself and bridal party look amazing on my wedding day! I loved her, as did everyone else!! I have already recommended her to future brides I know! Can't say enough great things about her work!!

Evelyn did my sister's bridal makeup as well as my mother's and all the bridesmaids. Evelyn was absolutely wonderful! I took my sister (the beautiful bride) for a trial and she loved it and looked gorgeous! On her wedding day she looked even more stunning! Evelyn was so sweet and professional and knew exactly what look each girl should have. She was flexible with time and very reasonable. She saved us all so much time by coming to the house. End your search for makeup now because Evelyn is the best around! Can't wait to use her for my own one day!

Evelyn was absolutely wonderful! She is not only super talented, but personable as well. I felt like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day thanks to Evelyn....Thanks so much for making my wedding day so special!

Evelyn did an absolutely OUTSTANDING job on my makeup for my wedding. Not only did it stay on all night long, but I got complements galore... and so did everyone else who had her do their makeup.. I would highly recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a makeup artist! She does flawless work!! Thank you SOO much Evelyn!

Evelyn was absolutely amazing. She worked so well with both my sister and I. She was so sweet and patient with me. She did such a beautiful job for my wedding that everyone commented that my makeup was flawless. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding or any occasion frankly.

Evelyn was so professional and made me feel gorgeous on my very special and important day. She was early and her work is impeccable. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel like a work of art on any special occasion of their life.

I can't praise Evelyn enough. She is so talented! She was one of my favorite vendors for my April 25th wedding. I only had a makeup trial with her and I was sold! She knew exactly what look I wanted to go for. I booked her a year and a month before my wedding and actually used her for parties I attended throughout the year. On my wedding day I received so many compliments. Everyone was asking me who did my makeup. My bridesmaids also got their makeup done and all looked beautiful. They all have different skin textures and tones and she enhanced their beauty. She is very professional, responsive and talented. Our makeup last all night even though it was the hottest day in April. I wish I could have her do my makeup everyday! I highly recommend Evelyn Abanto!

Evelyn is an artist. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. It was great working with someone who is so passionate about what she does. She definitely knows how and what to do with makeup!!!!

Evelyn Abanto is an amazing makeup artist. She made me look flawless for my wedding. It was an indian wedding which required makeup done twice and a lot or flexability and Evelyn accomadated my schedule and was totally understanding. Evelyn Abanto is the best!

Evelyn provided day of make up for my wedding. She did myself (the bride) and my mother and mother in law. Everyone still compliments how gorgeous my eyes looked. Evelyn was great to work with and I loved my look. She did exactly what I wanted.

I want to keep her! Evelyn made me and all my bridesmaids feel like superstar models. Evelyn did an incredible job with such patience and talent. We changed things dramatically from my previous trials with her (yes, I was a frantic, undecided bride) and on the fly, she got it so perfect and transformed me into the romantic Spanish bride I wanted to be. And the make-up lasted well into the next day flawlessly. Three months later, everyone still raves about how beautiful we looked. Evelyn is truly gifted and made us feel very special. She will always be my makeup artist for any event I have.

Evelyn Abanto was by far one of my favorite vendors. She did exactly what everyone asked of her and more. She arrived on time and did an excellent job. Her prices were more than fair. She was fun and made everyone so beautiful. I would and will recommend her to EVERYONE for any occasion. My makeup litteraly lasted untill the next day. I never had to retouch anything.
Thanks Evelyn! You helped make the day so perfect!

Evelyn did an amazing job on my make-up! I actually had a nightmare (after the wedding) that she didn't show up and I looked horrible. She did my wedding party members as well and everyone looked amazing. I wish she could do my make up everyday. I highly recommend her services.

Evelyn provided my makeup as well as my mothers, mother in laws and two of my bridesmaids. She did such a wonderful job all day long we received compliments on our makeup. She came to my house on time and we had such a great time with her. I have been married 1 year now and to this day I am still getting compliments on how great my makeup was on my wedding day. I have given her name out to many friends and family and told them she is the best! I highly recommend her!

Evelyn did a great job with my makeup. She is very nice and I got a lot of complements on it.

Evelyn did an amazing job. My husband (then fiance) was worried about my makeup for the wedding day because he was scared I wouldn't look like myself. The day of the wedding he told me over and over how beautiful I looked and what a great job Evelyn had done. Evelyn was very sweet, professional, punctual and listened to what I wanted. She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids and my mother and everyone raved about how beautiful we all looked. I highly recommend her as a makeup artist, in fact I have had her do my makeup for other special occasions.

Great artist and wonderful to work with. I booked her for my engagement party, engagement photo shoot, and wedding. Just got back my pictures and they came out beautiful! Me but better, exactly what I wanted

Evelyn was very accomodating after my original make-up artist dicthed me just weeks before my wedding. She gave me a trial makeup session in addition to beautifying me for my wedding day and I had no problem whatsoever. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to look beautiful on their wedding day and have the experience be hassle-free.

I had pretty much waited till the last minute to get the trial done for my makeup. My mom and I went to Nordstroms and that is where we met Evelyn. It was probably the easiest part of my wedding planning. I told Evelyn what I had wanted and boy did she deliver! I was so impressed with her work! When I left the trial atleast 3 people stopped me in the mall to find out who did my makeup. I can't thank Eveyln enough for the excellent job she did. She made me feel absolutely beautiful on the most important day of my life. I would highly recommend Evelyn to anyone who wants to look their very best!

Evelyn is an incredible makeup artist. She was referred to me by a friend, and it took just one consultation for me to book her. She's incredibly professional, friendly, and extremely talented. My makeup was flawless on my wedding day. I've never felt so beautiful in my entire life. My makeup held up for over 12 hours! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Evelyn was a pleasure to work with. She has been in the business for years and was recommended by other brides for her great work. Evelyn was very attentive to all my needs and that of my family and bridesmaids. The makeup showed perfectly in the pictures and lasted all night long.

evelyn did an awesome job for my wedding, my makeup lasted thru the next day at our post wedding brunch. she and her friend also did a makeup lesson with 6 of my girlfriends, and everyone looked fabulous. i would definitely reccommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and easy going and professional makeup artist. She definitely knows what she is doing, and i never felt more beautiful. Thank you evelyn!

Evelyn was a pleasure to work with - the ONLY reason she doesn't get a 5 is because my sister-in-law was not very happy with her results but I believe it was just that Evelyn's style didn't mesh well with her. My makeup was gorgeous, flawless and lasted all night! My sister looked fantastic as did my other bridesmaid and my Mother-In-Law. Several people asked me who did my makeup and it photographed beautifully. If I ever need makeup done for a special occasion I would not hesitate to contact Evelyn. I highly recommend her!

Evelyn did an amazing job. She was on time, easy to work with, and professional. The cost was mid range but it did include a travel fee. I would use her again and definately reccomend her.

The makeup that Evy did for my bridesmaids and I came out fantastic! On the day of my wedding I asked Evy to use completely different colors than we had used for my trial and she was totally up for it. My makeup came out even better than I could have dreamed of and received so many compliments! I would definitely use her services again.

my makeup came out amazing and flawless! evelyn recognized the vintage look i was going for and created an unbeliveable look based off that. one of the first comments from many guests at my wedding was how beautiful my makeup was. i would not only use her again but recommend her to everyone.

Evelyn did a wonderful job with the makeup the day of my wedding. I was very please that the makeup looked even better than the day of the trial. The makeup stayed on the whole night so I was very happy about that.
The rest of the girls loved their makeup as well. I would highly recommend her to all my friends.

she was perfect, i had more compliments on my makeup than anything else :)

Evelyn is an amazing make-up artist. Her work is awesome. I was more than thrilled with the way my make-up came out for my wedding. Everyone raved! Thank you Evelyn

Evelyn is an excellent make up artist with vast experience in the field. Evelyn's experience goes from weddings to New York Fashion week.

I have worked with Evelyn for many years, her talent and her professionalism will far exceed any and all your expectations! Definitely a must have for your wedding day to make you look and feel your best.
