Flawless Beauty

Michelle was simply amazing. I had to organize my wedding and all the pieces from California where I live and she was very accommodating from the trial to the details on the big day. I didn't have a lot of specific thoughts on my makeup so I wasn't the best at articulating what I wanted mine to look like. However, the day of she just did her magic and made me beautiful. I've never felt more beautiful in my life and much to do with Michelle's makeup - I especially loved the lashed. The make up wore amazingly all day even through sweating because of my non-stop dancing. My make up still looked good after midnight! Absolutely perfect!

Michelle did my makeup on my wedding day, as well as my bridal party. She was FANTASTIC. I can honestly say I felt flawless and beautiful. She brought out everyone's natural beauty, while giving each of us us a unique and beautiful look. Michelle is truly a talented artist. Very professional and reliable and listens to what you want. Highly recommend!

I was so grateful to have found Michelle! As an overwhelmed bride who had recently had a horrible makeup trial with someone else, I could tell that Michelle was a good find as soon as I met her. She is classy, and her own makeup was perfection (I think this is an important detail when searching for a makeup artist capable of making you look your most beautiful!) She was understanding and patient with me in figuring out what I like and dislike and answered all of my questions (to airbrush or not to airbrush plus a million others). I enjoyed her personality and found her demeanor to be extremely calming. Her fees are certainly on par with most other Manhattan makeup artists and worth every penny (if not more)! If I could do it all over again, I would have done my first and only trial with Michelle and saved myself time and money. So many people were in awe of my makeup and have since requested her information. We just recently watched the highlight reel from the wedding for the first time and I was shocked at how my makeup stood up to the long day. I wholeheartedly recommend that you use Michelle for your big day – you won’t find a more talented artist. Thanks Michelle!

Michelle is AMAZING! After doing a trial before my engagement photo shoot I was sold! I used her for all of the big events leading up to the wedding (shower, rehearsal dinner, etc.) and of course on my big day. Michelle did the makeup for me, the mothers, bridesmaids, etc and we couldn't of been happier. She did a FABULOUS job! She is a joy to work with, very responsive and professional. I highly recommend Michelle.

michelle was great to work with. she listened to what i wanted done with my makeup and was respectful of my fair of being over made up. she gently nudged me to do a bit more than what i had originally wanted and i couldn't have been happier. my makeup lasted all night and i got tons of compliments. would definitely use her again.

Michelle was great. She was responsive, available and worked with me to find the exact budget and look I was aiming for. Highly professional, flexible and good at what she does. My bridesmaids, mother and I were all very pleased.

I had a great experience working with Michelle. I don't really wear a lot of make-up so I explained to her that I wanted a very natural look with a bit of color. I wasn't even really sure what that meant when i said it but I got the look i wanted and more. I felt beautiful,what more could a woman want on her big day. To top it all off she made all my bridesmaids look fantastic as well. I was really happy with her work. She kept in contact with me leading up to the event -- she was on time, was professional and friendly. I would recommend her for any event.

Michele was wonderful. She made my daughter and I look very natural. It was a pleasure to work with her.

I found Michelle because of all of her wonderful reviews online. They couldn't be more accurate! Michelle arrives on time, is completely professional and does an amazing job! Even when she has someone like me who can't stop blinking when eye makeup is being applied. The makeup lasted all day, even in the July heat! I looked my best and so did all of my bridesmaids and the mothers! I'm so happy I used Michelle. I highly recommend her to any bride!!!

Michelle did a beautiful job with the makeup for me and my mom and sister and friend. She is a wonderful, calm presence and an absolute professional. I loved working with her and I loved how I looked on my wedding day.

My sister got married last year and the one vendor that I knew that I had to have was Michelle. She is phenomenal. I don't traditionally wear much make up at all (read - a little bit of cover up and the occasional eyeliner for a "dressy" event) and somehow Michelle managed to make me look spectacular but still just like me. On behalf of me, both my sisters, my mother, and *ALL* of my bridesmaids (a multi-ethnic group of ladies!) ---> Michelle is awesome. You have to have her.

Michelle applied make up on me, my mother and my sister on my wedding day! She did an amazing job and we all received many compliments and looked great in photos! She was reasonably priced, very professional, accommodating, and fun to work with!

Michelle really saved the day. As the mother of the bride, I had someone lined up to do makeup. The someone came, did the makeup, and it was a DISASTER! Michelle graciously took me on a moment's notice, wiped me up and started again, to great results. I would recommend her to anyone looking for professionalism, a pleasant attitude and great makeup. Thanks, Michelle!

Thank you again for everything this weekend! Everyone looked and felt beautiful. The make up stayed all night and all the girls loved their eye make up!

I appreciate everything and already gave your info out to other friends who are getting married this year!

Michelle is an absolute pleasure to work with. My family hired her to do our makeup for my brother's wedding. As the sister of the groom, I was absolutely thrilled with how my makeup came out and I can say that my mother and grandmother never looked better. Our makeup was flawless and lasted perfectly from picture time until the end of the evening. I only wish I knew Michelle when I got married! I would highly recommend her.

Michelle was great!!! Everyone looked beautiful! She arrived on time, is very responsive to emails, listens to what you want and does an amazing job!! Thanks Michelle!!

Michelle came highly recommended to me by 2 of my friends that used her services for their wedding. Prior to my wedding day, Michelle did a make-up trial with me, and made sure I was completely happy with the results. She then noted all the products she used so that it could be replicated on my wedding day. She is very patient and listens to feedback very well, and most importantly knows how to apply make-up to enhance your beauty, without making it look overdone.

Michelle did my makeup on my wedding day, as well as my bridal party.
No easy task since there were 4 of us all needing to be ready at the same time, and only 1 of her !! Plus, there was a range in ages from 13-40. Not only did everyone look age appropriate, (and by that I mean the 13yr old didn't have makeup of a 35yr old), but she gave each of us a completely different, beautiful look.
I myself was worried because I've been doing the "same old-same old" thing with my makeup for years and have never been satisfied when I've let people do my makeup, but Michelle is truly a talented artist !!!
She's not only professional and reliable, but she listens to what you want and doesn't do what "she wants". She is a beautiful, fun person to work with. We had a memorable, fun experience, which is what the morning of your wedding day should be !!!
To this day she has remains a friend of our family :)
I HIGHLY recommend Michelle !!!!!!!! She's simply, THE BEST !!!!

Michelle and her assistant were AMAZING! I used them for myself, my mother, and my 6 bridesmaids - she worked quickly within our time frame and everyone looked absolutely stunning. She drove over two hours that morning to get to the wedding location and was actually early. Michelle was a HUGE help on my big day and I would highly recommend her to future brides!

Sincerely - Laura Crain

Michelle is simply amazing! I immediately booked her after my trial which of course I loved. She made me feel comfortable right away. During the process, she was always responsive to emails and attentive to concerns. She helped plan the day of schedule to make sure things would run smoothly which they did. She brought along a second artist, Deanna, who was amazing as well. All my friends and family who got their make-up done were extremely pleased with the results. We all looked beautiful and can't thank them enough. I would recommend Flawless Beauty to any bride looking for great service and wonderful make-up. She truly did fantastic work and I could not be happier!

I cannot recommend or thank Michelle at Flawless Beauty enough!!! Not only did she make me and my mum look truly beautiful on my wedding day in September (which was tough considering we were both jet lagged) she was kind, thoughtful and always really quick to respond to any questions I had. It was more like having a very talented close friend do my make-up on the day opposed to someone I had only briefly met.

Based in England me and my hubby decided to get married in New York in September, I first contact Michelle via wedding wire back in the Autumn of 2009 and straight away she put me at ease and responded to all my questions (and there was a lot). When I came over from England with my mum before the wedding, she spent a great amount of time with me getting to know my style/likes/dislikes and created the perfect look for me. Being from England I also needed recommendations for facials, hair dressers even bars and restaurants...and Michelle was always only a email away, nothing was too much trouble!

On the wedding day she arrived on time and well armed with lots of fabulous Bobbi Brown Make-Up (which is by far the best makeup out there and great value given its quality). Michelle took so much time and care doing mine and my mum’s make-up. The quality was unbelievable.

I truly loved my wedding makeup, it looked great on the photo’s AND I never had to touch it up once (my makeup lasted from 1pm till nearly midnight – impressive to say it was a hot and humid New York summers day!!!)

My only regret is that I cannot take Michelle back to England to do my wedding party back home!!!

Michelle is incredible! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life!

Working with Michelle was an excellent experience. Her demeanor is perfect for working with brides who are dealing with stress on their wedding day—she is incredibly calm and composed. She even managed to calm my Mom down at times, who was actually way more stressed than I was! Her work was absolutely beautiful—I've never seen myself and my bridesmaids look better! And I will definitely go back to her in the future if I ever need a makeup artist again. She is recommended 100%

When you think of any special event, including your wedding, a few things come to mind. Your dress and your hair, of course. But neither works unless your makeup is flawless.
And, that's where Michelle Stern comes in with her flawless attention to makeup application.
I first met Michelle by walking past the Bobbi Brown counter at Bergdorf's . She applied makeup for my future daughter-in-law and myself. We never looked better. I decided that Michelle would be the one to apply our wedding makeup.

Michelle takes the time to get to know you and specializes in creating a unique look that works for your face. The day of the wedding, we never had more compliments from family members to guests and even the photographer.

But, what's even more amazing...we only had to reapply our lip gloss during the night and never had to re-touch our eyes, cheeks or face.

Thank you Michelle...We'll be back!

Michelle was great to work with, very easy and did an amazing job.

Michelle did a great job. it was fun to share the big day with her! i recommend everyone to do business with her

Michelle Stern's customer service and personality are above the norm.we received numerous compliments throughout the night of the wedding.I would recommend her to anyone and would use her again in a heart beat!

I had Michelle from Flawless Beauty do my makeup, my bridesmaids' and mom's makeup for my wedding in October 2009, and I cannot say enough fabulous things about her.

When I was first looking for a makeup artist to do my wedding makeup, I had a ton of questions - Michelle was super-responsive, answering every question I had. When I had my makeup trial with Michelle, she took the time to ask me questions about what kind of look I was going for (do I want light coverage? Dramatic eyes? etc. etc. etc.). After she got a good picture of what I was looking for, she used her amazing talents (and her amazing sense of color) to create the most beautiful makeup I had ever seen! The colors she used were so much better for me than the colors I had been using on my own.

The day of my wedding, she was on-time and totally prepared. And again - she made all of us look ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! We were so excited with our looks - I am eternally happy that I had Michelle do our makeup!

Since then, I've had tons of questions about how to recreate the look that she gave me - I came back to get my makeup done again, and she was a great teacher - she explained how to do everything, and I can now look (almost) as pretty as I did on my wedding day! I still email Michelle from time to time with questions, and she ALWAYS gets back to me same day. She's a godsend!

I would recommend her to ANYONE looking to get their makeup done. And - bonus - her prices are TOTALLY reasonable for NY. She was my favorite vendor of my entire wedding. If I could give her a 100 star rating, I would!

Michelle did an amazing job - i would highly recommend her for the quality of her work and her professionalism.

Michelle was absolutely amazing! I LOVED my makeup for my wedding! I would highly, highly, highly recommend her to any bride.

Michelle from Flawless Beauty was a complete professional. I think everytime I emailed a question the response from her blackberry got to me in less than 5 minutes. To a bride that is amazing since there are so many steps to planning a wedding. The one thing a bride wants to feel is beautiful on her wedding day and I certainly felt beautiful. Michelle listened to my request and didn't make me feel badly if I asked for less blush or more eyes. It was always about me and not about her or her art. She was flexible and professional and her work was flawless...hmmm...play on words....I think so!

I am thrilled to recommend Flawless Beauty for wedding make-up and I can't thank Michelle enough for contributing to my special day. Michelle replies to emails immediately and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and beautiful. She was so calm, patient and professional and I felt like she really listened to how I envisioned myself looking while walking down the aisle. I can't thank her enough for her help and I encourage other brides to check out Flawless Beauty!

If I could give more stars, I would! Michelle was absolutely amazing and made me look so beautiful! Her artistry is "flawless", she truly lives up to her business name. Michelle is extremely professional and is excellent with correspondence. I had a trial with her at Bergdof Goodman, Bobbi Brown counter, a few months before my wedding and hired her on the spot! She made me feel so comfortable and took so much time finding the right combination of colors that worked for me, as well as teaching me how to apply my make-up for everyday. I have since visited her a Bergdof Goodman and purchased all of my make up from her! I will not go to anyone else!!! I highly without a doubt recommend her, she is wonderful!!!

Michelle is such a wonderful makeup artist. Everyone who had their makeup applied by Michelle received numerous compliments throughout the night of the wedding. Michelle was also a great person to have with us as we prepared for the wedding because she was friendly, calm, patient, and very accomodating to everyone.

Michelle Stern did an outstanding job on my make up for my wedding. She also did my mother and whole bridal party. She was very accomodating and flexible. She made everyone look very natural and beautiful. She spent the right amount of time with each person and figured out what looked perfect on each girl. I would highly recommend her and would use her again!

I had a great experience and felt beautiful. Several wedding guests commented on how nice the makeup was.

I would use this vendor again and have already recommended her to friends.

OMG!!!! Michelle Stern did my make up for my wedding day, and it was FLAWLESS!!!! She made me so comfortable & made me feel so beautiful!! I am a make up artist myself, but I wanted to be pampered on my wedding day. As you can imagine, doing make up myself, I am very critical. But seriously, I didn't have one thing to complain about! And other friends in my industry thought it was perfect, not overdone, like some girls can look on the day. Since the wedding day I have had consultations with her about my beauty & health. I am so happy I found her!!

From the minute I met Michelle, I felt very comfortable with her. She is professional, talented and focuses on bringing out your natural beauty. She made me feel like the most confident and beautiful bride. I'd recommend her to my best friend and sister and would definitely use her again for a special occasion.

I would! Michelle was absolutely amazing and made me look so beautiful! Her artistry is "flawless", she truly lives up to her business name. Michelle is extremely professional and is excellent with correspondence. I had a trial with her at Bergdof Goodman, Bobbi Brown counter, a few months before my wedding and hired her on the spot!

i have recommended this vendor to everyone i know....fabulous!!!!!!!

Michelle did a great job on my makeup and was very affordable. She also did her best to make sure myself, bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law were comfortable by tailoring their makeup to their requests.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for make-up services. She was one of my favorite wedding vendors that I used and I still keep in touch with her over 2 years later. I could tell from the first 5 minutes of the trial that we were going to get along great and she really understood the look I wanted. She is very nice and friendly and the booking process was extremely easy. Michelle was so professional and was right on time which made my wedding preperation stress free. She applied my make up exactly like I wanted it and I was so happy with the results. My mom also had her make up done by Michelle and people are still talking about how beautiful she looked.

Again, I highly recommend Michelle! You will not be disappointed.

Michelle, of Flawless Beauty, is highly professional, positive and reliable. I did not want the typical bride look with my makeup and ended up loving the look she gave me at my wedding. Michelle also did the makeup for my mother, sister, mother-in-law and cousin. Everyone felt gorgeous when she was done, nobody felt overly made-up or unnatural in their makeup. We also had a last-minute crisis with another vendor that caused me (the bride) to have very little time to have my makeup done and get dressed. Michelle not only kept everyone calm as she traveled with us from one location to another, she also did an excellent job on my makeup under time pressure. I have recommended Michelle's work to anyone I can.

Michelle Stern at Flawless Beauty did an amazing job on my make up. She was on time, professional, friendly, and extremely talented. I have recommended her services to many other brides.

Michelle Stern from Flawless Beauty is by far the BEST makeup artist in New York City! I have sent MANY friends to her and they all LOVE her work! Aside from being amazing she is so nice and educated on skin and makeup!

I would highly recommend Michelle Stern from Flawless Beauty to anyone!! Michelle did my makeup for my wedding day (including the wedding party) and made me look and feel beautiful! She was very professional and responsive to all of our needs. My makeup lasted the entire day with no problem. Michelle did an exceptional job and I would use her over and over again!!! Thanks Michelle.

Michelle was great. I met her at the Bloomies Bobby Brown counter where she did a trial run for my wedding makeup (she's now at Bergdorf). I hired her on the spot to be the makeup artist for me, my sister and my mother on wedding day. She showed up on time, finished in a timely manner and was a lot of fun to work with on my wedding day. I still visit her today at Bergdorf--5 years later!

Flawless Beauty did an amazing job for me on my wedding. She came well prepared and at a reasonable price too. I highly recommend her!

Michelle made me a "flawless beauty" on my wedding day. She did my make-up, my mothers make-up and my maid of honor 's make-up.

She arrived with a complete set-up, on time and was amazing calm and professional as my wedding party - 8 in total got ready in a New York city hotel suite. The photographer was even able to capture the getting read on film.

She also wears contacts, which can be an issue for those artists that don't wear them.

My make-up was exactly like the trial was and I highly satisfied. I have since purchased make-up from Michelle and hope to have an event where I can call on her services again.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful, I have since recommended her to many of my friends getting married.

Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely professional and unbelievably talented. I was married over 5 years ago and I still get makeovers from Michelle on occasion. I highly recommend her to any bride

Anyone who is lucky enough to have Michele as their makeup artist is indeed ..lucky. She made me feel beautiful beyond belief and was very easy to work with and even let me use the colors that I was more accustomed to though she suggestted others ( which of course she was right lavender is best for brown eyes) she did a wonderful combination and more importantly I felt comfortable and not ..yuck overdone.. she was amazing and though I didnt have piles of makeup my photos came out fantastic!!! I got married in Manhattan on a hot day and I wasnt sweaty and nothing ran..I NEVER WENT FOR A TOUCH UP besides lipstick all day and I did have an all day affair from 200 pm to 2oo am...the makeup lasted all night!! 100% recommend Michelle from Flawless Beauty

Michelle is a true professional and did an amazing job on my wedding makeup, along with my mom and bridesmaids. She was punctual and very easy to work with. She uses real makeup and it lasted all evening. She does magic with eyes and makes them POP regardless of the face. I would recommend her to any bride!

Michelle is amazing! She did the makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law for my wedding. She asked what we wanted and did a great job listening...we were all thrilled with how we looked! She has such a fresh style and made each of us look natural and glamorous! Michelle was incredibly patient and professional and was nice enough to stick around for touch ups since she knew there might be some teary eyes before the ceremony. We had a great time having her with us for the afternoon, and I would definitely recommend her to any bride (or gal looking for a glam-up!).

Michelle Stern did a great job on my makeup for my wedding. She also did my 2 bridesmaids as well and we were very satisfied. We did a trial at Bloomingdales where she worked at the time. She came fully prepared to my hotel room and spent a good amount of time on me. I thought the cost was very reasonable for NYC. I would totally recommend Miichelle as she made me feel like a beautiful bride on my very important day.

Michelle was great, totally professional and the makeup for all the girls turned out SPECTACULAR! Guests at the wedding were commenting all night that they had never seen myself or my bridesmaids look more beautiful! She was great to have around during the day getting ready and kept all of us calm and laughing. She was also great with communication leading up to and after the wedding, normally getting back to me within 15 minutes every time! She was one of the vendors I was most happy with and would use her again in a heartbeat. It was worth every penny!

I had a great experience with Michelle Stern and would recommend her to anybody. My make-up looked perfect in all of my photographs and looked beautiful all night, even after hours of dancing.

Michelle did a great job. Not only did the makeup turn out beautifully, but it was fun to share the big day with her!

Michelle did such a great job on my hair and makeup! She definitely wowed me, and I felt really beautiful! I highly recommend Michelle!

I was married in Manhattan, January 16, 2010. Michelle was wonderful.. from the trial I had with her, to the actual big day. She was prompt and really listened to what I wanted, and how I wanted to look the day of my wedding. It was a really nice relaxing experience, and I really felt like a princess! She also made my MOH look beautiful and natural. The wedding pictures are proof that Michelle really knows what she is doing =] I would recommend her to anyone! Mrs. Cassidy

Michelle did make up for me and 5 others the day of my wedding. She was extremely calm and organized about the whole process. It was nice to have her in the room while we were all getting ready. In addition, she really listened to what I wanted and was able to make suggestions within my comfort zone. As she promised, the make up lasted all night and looks great in the pictures.

Michelle was a great wedding day make-up artist. I met her at an earlier date for a trial run, and we experimented with a few things I had thought about. She brought them all to life, and my make up was flawless and almost permanent. I've never looked better. She was able to do a few more members of my bridal party on short notice, as well, and very quickly.

I received TONS of compliments on my makeup from wedding guests. She remains calm during a very chaotic time and kept me relaxed throughout the morning. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to other brides.

As a photographer I have had the chance to work with Michelle on many weddings and boudoir shoots. I've always found her work to be beautiful because she pays attention to detail and knows just how to enhance each woman's best features.

When it came time to do my own head shots I knew had to hire Michelle for makeup! Since this photo was going to be the first impression new clients would have of me, I knew I could trust Michelle to make me look like the most beautiful version of myself!

I am always confident when I send new clients to Michelle because in addition to her talent, she is extremely reliable, responsive and friendly!

Michelle and I worked together on a classic wedding at the Yale Club last October. My client hired her to apply the makeup of a few ladies in her bridal party. The ladies were so impressed, all the others asked Michelle to apply their make up as well. Michelle's work is excellent. She is so efficient and her personality is a great asset to my day of team. I look forward to our next wedding together!
