Jan - Professional Makeup Artist

Jan is phenomenal! She did such a fabulous job on not only my make up, but on my bridesmaids too! I don't think I've ever been in a wedding before where everyone was completely happy with their make up! Jan is extremely professional and so incredibly responsive! She was definitely one of my best vendors! I can't recommend her enough!

I have no idea what I would have done without Jan! I hired Jan after a bad trial run with my previously contracted vendor. She was extremely responsive and flexible, offering to come to my house for a trial a few days after I initially contacted her. She came prepared with all the tools and knew exactly what would look best on my face. I ended up hiring her to do makeup for the entire bridal party and she was a huge hit. My mom looked amazing (but still looked like my mom!) and I loved how my own makeup looked. She was on time, professional, and very fun to be around - she even brought music to make the getting-ready process more enjoyable. She is a one-woman team, so timing might be more difficult for brides with bigger wedding parties (I had 8 people get makeup done - five bridesmaids, me, and two moms - the timing worked out perfectly), but she is 100% worth it. Thank you Jan for saving the day!!

I am so lucky to have found Jan! Her work is fabulous and she is such a genuinely wonderful person to be around. It was such a pleasure spending time with her and her assistant while my bridal party and I got ready on my wedding day. My makeup looked absolutely incredible, I genuinely could not have been happier or felt more beautiful. It also stayed put all night and even endured hours and hours of dancing outside on a humid evening! Thank you Jan for all you did and for the great company :)

Jan is simply amazing! I recommend her 100%. I had special circumstances as I am highly allergic to many products and Jan went above and beyond to make sure I was able to use every product she selected for me - going so far as to send me different products throughout the planning process to test on my skin. I was so comfortable working with her and she made me a very at-ease bride! She also applied my bridesmaids makeup as well as my mom and mother in laws - everyone looked so beautiful - like themselves, very natural, beautiful makeup that brought out their best features. Jan is the VERY best - I will be sending every future bride I know her way!!!

When I needed a make-up artist for my wedding party I turned to Weddingwire. I found Jan and contacted her to see if she could handle my large group...she contacted us back right away and I have to say that I'm SOOO glad that she did because she has got to be the most fabulous make-up artist out there!!!! I don't know what I would have done with out Jan, she made me look gorgeous, glamorous, bridal, and feminine. I had such a great experience with Jan all around. She is so responsive to all your messages and any questions, at my trial-she spent so much time explaining the make-up and what she was doing and how to apply it, she makes sure you always feel comfortable with what she is doing! It was such a great experience! On the day of the wedding, Jan arrived early and was extra timely. She spent the perfect amount of time with all my bridesmaids and my mother. And, of course, she spent extra time on me! Not to mention, she made my mother look AMAZING. I've never seen my mom look so beautiful before...that made me so happy!Jan, thank you for making that beautiful bride that every girl wants to be on their special day. You went above and beyond with my makeup making it look extra perfect and I really appreciate every little detail. So again, thank you so much!

Jan was a dream to work with! She captured the exact vision I wanted for my wedding day makeup and I was overjoyed with the end result. I truly felt glamorous and radiant as a result of her talents. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail are exceptional! I highly recommend Jan to those in need of wedding day makeup services or anyone looking for one of the finest makeup artists in the industry.

Jan is wonderful! Not only is she fun to work with, but she's super organized and very professional. She was also very flexible with my last minute scheduling changes. I even left a key to my hotel room for her so she could get started on my ladies' makeup while I was at the hair salon. I wanted something more "Oscars" than bridal for my makeup, and she knew exactly how to incorporate that. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup, and on Jan herself from everyone who's makeup she did.

Jan is a wonderful make up artist, she is personable and friendly while also being professional. She is truly an artist who makes you look and feel your best. My makeup never budged, and part of my wedding was outdoors! She also has a calm and confidence that let me feel relaxed, and knew that, in her hands my make up and looking beautiful was one less thing I need not worry about on that day!

I found Jan on Weddingwire and she was wonderful. She did both a trial and day-of makeup for my wedding and did a fabulous job on both. I don't ordinarily wear a ton of makeup and didn't want to look like a different person with makeup on - she kept my look natural while still making me look and feel beautiful. I couldn't have been happier with her work. In addition to her talent as a makeup artist, she was incredibly pleasant to be around, she was extremely calming on an otherwise stressful day, she showed up early and got right to work, and I think her pricing is competitive. I would hire her again in a second, and would recommend her to anyone seeking a talented, responsive and professional makeup artist.

Jan was absolutely amazing! I rarely wear make up and I was quite concerned with how the wedding day application would go. Jan came highly recommended from one of my MBA classmates. Jan was so wonderful at the trial, she listened to my concerns and even went out to search for the exact lip color I was looking for. What a saint!As my bridesmaids got their make up done on the wedding day, I was so pleased with how gorgeous they each looked. And I will say that the makeup stayed on all day and night with NO smudging at all even through tears.Thank you, Jan!! All the best.

It was absolutely awesome to have Jan work on my bridal makeup! She was very accomodating and very flexible on telling me what looked best on me while also taking into consideration my comfort level for makeup. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look their best on their wedding day!

Jan is amazing! She does beautiful work and is a joy to be around. She came to my house for the trial and from the minute she came in the door she was great. She spent time talking to me and my mom about what kind of look I was going for and what she thought would work best for me. It looked flawless when she was done. I don't usually wear much makeup (mascara and blush on a good day) so it was truly amazing to see the results. The day of my wedding, she arrived early and was getting set up when I arrived. She did my makeup plus four bridesmaids, my mom, and our officiant. Everyone was done in plenty of time for pictures. All of us have very different coloring and face shapes but she was able to make everyone look just about as beautiful as I have ever seen them. The first of our pictures just came back and we all look just as good as I remember. I felt like I was wearing a lot of makeup (not uncomfortable, just more dramatic than I am used to) but in the pictures it looks perfect. I would recommend Jan to anyone. In addition to being an amazing makeup artist she is also a pleasure to be around.

Jan was so great to work with for my wedding. I have never looked so beautiful and my make-up stayed on all night long! I highly recommend Jan!!

Jan is absolutely amazing!! She was such a pleasure to work with!

I loved working with Jan! She was so friendly and made me feel comfortable from the first moment I met her. She was very professional while still fun and down to earth! My mom and I LOVED our makeup on wedding day! Jan worked her magic and made us both look and feel pretty! She was worth every penny and I'm really glad I decided to have my makeup done professionally, especially by Jan!

Jan was AMAZING. My last make-up artist had cancelled on me only a few months before the wedding even after I had paid her for the trial make-up. Jan stepped right up and met with me for a trial and did a wonderful job! I was sooooooooo happy with her work....she made me look absolutely beautiful and she listened to everything I wanted. I'm sort of a glam girl and love the dark eye liner and Jan gave me just what I wanted but showed me how I could have that glam look without going overboard....the make-up looked soooo perfect in the pictures and she really made my eyes pop. Everything about her make-up made me look natural, but glamerous like I wanted and I couldn't have picked a more perfect make-up artist. She is really talented and has the best personality...she was soo accommadating and so friendly. I loved having her for my wedding and I would reccommend her to everyone!!!!!!

I absolutely love Jan! She is a very talented makeup artist, and a great person to have for your wedding. She has a very fun and personable demeanor, and she really helped me to relax before walking down the aisle. I will admit I was hesitant about getting a makeup artist for my wedding, as I love makeup and didn’t think I needed to hire an artist. However, I went ahead and had a trial run with Jan to see how she would do my makeup for my wedding. Jan came to my house for the trial, and within minutes I knew she would do a great job. When I finally saw my face in the mirror, I was so pleased with how elegant and classy I looked! Of all the vendors I booked, I am so glad I had Jan for my wedding. All of my bridesmaids loved working with Jan. She met with each of them individually, and discussed how they wanted their makeup – from soft/natural to really super glam! I really liked that she was able to design a makeup application with each of them individually so they would be comfortable and confident with their makeup. By taking this extra time, she was created a natural and flattering look for each bridesmaid so they each felt special and beautiful. As for my makeup, Jan created the perfect smokey eye and ultra glam look! I received so many compliments throughout the night. My makeup was absolutely perfect, didn't smudge, and came out perfect in the pictures! I didn’t want to take my makeup off at the end of the night!!Jan is an absolute sweetheart and she is incredibly talented. Working with her was a completely stress free experience - Jan is definitely in demand and I can see why. I recommend her highly, and I look forward to working with Jan again to do my makeup! Book early with her to make sure you get her for your wedding! You will look gorgeous!

Jan was extremely professional and accommodating. I received so many compliments on my makeup and I am thrilled with how both my Mom and I looked on such a special day.

Amazing!! Both Jan and her assistant were such a joy to work with, they will create any look you would like for your wedding day!

Jan was my most "perfect" vendor. She responded to ALL of my emails within a few hours, and usually it was within one hour. She was so genuinely nice and had a reassuring way about her. I knew from the makeup trial that she would help calm me down during the morning of the wedding day! She did a great job on my bridesmaids and my mom (my mom looked especially fantastic!!) and was flexible when I needed to add one more bridesmaid after we had already booked. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone. Thank you, Jan, for helping make my day even more beautiful. :)

Jan was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! She was always timely in responding to my emails, she was professional, on time, fun, creative and does amazing work! She did my Mom, Sister (Moh) and my makeup and each of us just loved it! I would recommend her to any bride to be who wants to look stunning on their wedding day. Jan will make it happen! :)

After having countless bad experiences with other makeup artists, Jan was the answer to my wedding prayers! She came to my house for a last minute makeup trial and brought along one of her good friends - we all had such an enbjoyable time together! Not only is Jan a talented makeup artist, but she is also a warm and energetic person whose positive attitude is contagious to be around! She did the makeup for me on my wedding day, in addition to my 6 bridesmaids and mom - we all looked absolutely gorgeous! My husband was speechless when he saw me! If you are looking for a makeup artist who will make your day as seamless and relaxing as possible, book Jan today! You won't regret it! Wedding planning is stressful enough, but Jan was super responsive and professional - I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look beautiful on her wedding day!

Jan is amazing - a literal genius with makeup and also just so warm and great to be around. . . . As I told her, I wish I could get married again and again, just so I can have Jan do my makeup!

Jan was amazing! She is so talented, so much fun to work with and just a pleasure to be around. She made me look more beautiful than I ever thought I could on my wedding day. She also made my mom look gorgeous! Everyone in the DC area should call Jan for their wedding!

We have a family friend who is a makeup artist, and she did the makeup for myself and a few other ladies in the wedding, but I also hired Jan to do makeup for several bridesmaids and an aunt. She did a great job! They looked beautiful and were very happy with their makeup.

I was fortunate to be able to book Jan for my May wedding. Jan did my makeup as well as my mother and 4 of my bridesmaids. She was quick to respond to my inquiry and easy to work with!When we met for my trial, Jan took the time to listen to my concerns. I do not wear much makeup and was nervous about looking overly made up. She made sure that I was comfortable with the way I looked, and I was! She made me look amazing, and my photos look incredible! She also took the time to ask each bridesmaid about how they wear their makeup and which colors they feel most comfortable in. She made sure each of them looked like themselves, but more polished! Everyone looked great, and out makeup stayed put.Jan was on time (and early) to both the trial and the wedding day. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any bride!

Jan did an amazing job with my makeup last weekend! I have combination skin, which can be a challenge when applying certain makeup. Jan was very patient and continued to try new things until we found the right match for my skin.The makeup held up all night and she also gave me a great little kit for touch-ups. My husband (who normally is not a fan of makeup) said that it was really tastefully done and that I looked gorgeous!Jan was also very friendly! I'd reccomend her to anyone looking for a beautiful, classic look!

JAN IS WONDERFUL!!! If you are thinking of getting your makeup done, BOOK JAN NOW!!! You won't be disappointed!First, I am a makeup- savvy chick and I love to play with makeup, and I was really debating whether or not to have a makeup artist for my wedding. I exchanged several emails with Jan, and all of which she was very responsive, helpful in answering my questions, and incredibly nice and professional in her emails - I feel I have to point this out because several wedding vendors I have contacted seemed to be lacking this skill. Jan showed up on time, actually early, which is always a plus. She was very quick to set up her materials, and just a very pleasant person to meet and discuss the makeup vision I had for my wedding. What you really want to know - how I looked! Jan did a FANTASTIC job on my makeup, and especially on my eyes. I told her I wanted a smokey eye, which we discussed before she even started on my makeup. She was just phenomenal in the makeup application, talking with me throughout the process, and teaching me great tips along the way. My eyes ended up looking gorgeous - I felt so sultry and beautiful all night. The great thing was my makeup lasted from 2pm until after midnight! I didn't even want to wash my face that night!As for price, Jan's rates are quite reasonable, and I quite frankly think she is under the market price for her artistic services. I researched at least a dozen vendors, and Jan was the second lowest price wise. She is by far the most talented one I met with, and especially with others being higher price and IMO not as good, I think she is a true gem to find!You cannot ask for anything better than a talented makeup artist that has worked along side Bobbi Brown, offers great and affordable prices, and on top of that, she is just a complete sweetheart! She is in demand and I can see why. Do not hesitate - contact her immediately and get her for your wedding! You will be thrilled with her!!!

Jan was a delight! She has such a bright and bubbly personality. I had fun chatting with her during the makeup application process.I have very oily skin too - but you would have never known on my wedding day as my makeup was perfect until the end of the evening. That does not happen with my everyday makeup. I loved my makeup on my wedding day. I didn't have any ideas except that I wanted to go full glam so Jan was given complete freedom to do my makeup to suit me as she thought was best. She is very talented - I would have never imagined that my makeup would be as lovely as she made it.The fact that she will provide makeup services for the bride only was a relief too as I had numerous makeup artists ignore my emails after finding out that I just wanted makeup for myself only. Jan is great and well worth the money you pay for her services.

I loved working with Jan – I think it was meant to be! Jan came out to my parents’ house for both the trial and wedding day applications which was so convenient! Jan did my makeup and my mom’s – it was BEAUTIFUL. I felt like a star, and it was so nice to see my mom looking a little more dramatic than with her usual makeup routine. I love that it was classic and elegant, I could not have asked for more. All night I kept looking in the mirror and could not believe it was still perfect after so many hours – through tears, running around for pictures and tons of dancing! Jan is wonderful and would highly recommend her for any event!!

Hiring Jan to do my makeup and my mother's makeup was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. It was wonderful to only not worry about doing my own makeup well and the fact that Jan was willing to travel to my house was extremely convenient. My makeup held up through the entire day - through a rainstorm and a night of dancing! The makeup made me look flawless and glowing in photos. I would recommend her to anyone.

I highly recommend Jan, she is extremely professional and great to work with. My makeup looked great on the day of our wedding and I couldn't have been happier.

Jan is such a wonderful makeup artist and was a joy to work with. She takes the time to listen to what the bride wants, and makes recommendations based on her years of experience. I will recommend her to all of my friends who are planning their weddings!

Jan did an amazing job on my wedding day makeup and my mother's makeup. I have never received so many compliments in my entire life - people said I looked stunning and it was mostly thanks to her skills! She was very responsive to all my e-mails and phone calls and was kind enough to send me product samples in the mail when I had some concerns about the foundation we used for the trial. She was great working with my mother and making sure she looked elegant and age-appropriate. She traveled to the hotel where we got ready and it was great having her be a part of our preparations!

Book Jan for your wedding now! Do not shop around, do not do a million trials, do not stress about how your makeup will look on your wedding day...just book Jan and know that EVERYTHING about your makeup will be even more amazing then you ever thought it could be. She is one of the very best choices I made for my wedding and I know that any bride who is lucky enough to get Jan for their wedding is blessed. She has a warmth about her that spreads from the trial (which she comes to your house for-- how wonderful is that!) to the room that you are getting ready in, and into your big day! We took pictures at 2pm, the ceremony didn't start until 5pm, we danced until 11pm and my makeup held up the whole time. I never knew my face could look so natural and beautiful...I only wish I could have Jan do my makeup everyday... she is a true gem.

Jan is great to work with and did a fantastic job. I would recommend her to anyone looking for fresh, beautiful face on their wedding day.

Jan was quite possibly the best decision that I made for my wedding day. She was professional and extremely responsive right from the start, and I enjoyed every step of the process, from the trial application to the real thing, because it is just so clear that she truly LOVES what she does. I've been in a few weddings and have watched all of my friends get professionally made up many times, but I have never seen them look so natural, and yet so strikingly gorgeous, as they all did at the hand of Jan's magic. My mom was radiant and Jan made my 90 year-old grandmother look like a 70 year-old babe! Everyone was so pleased with their make-up and it turned out so beautifully in photos ... even the ones taken a good 12 hours later. I cannot recommend Jan enough to anyone who wants to feel natural and like herself, but appear absolutely STUNNING in professional make-up. And as if that weren't enough, Jan is a true pleasure to be around! She'll make you feel great inside and out!

I can't say enough great things about Jan. She did an amazing job on me, my mother, my mother-in-law, and my bridesmaids. We all have different skin tones and coloring, and are different ages, but she made everyone look gorgeous. Her real speciality is eyes. My mom has very small eyes, but she made them look large and beautiful. My eyes were amazing. She also has a great personality and will give you tips on products. You cannot go wrong with Jan.

I hired Jan as my makeup artist for my wedding day. She came to the hotel and then to the wedding venue to do my makeup, my mothers, my mother-in-laws, and two of my bridesmaids makeup. After leaving them in Jan's hands while I went and ran wedding errands I walked in to the bridal room at my wedding venue and stopped dead in my tracks! Jan had their makeup done and they looked absolutely amazing and were just so happy with the results. Just a side note she CAN do flawless makeup for any ethnicity (for example my mother in law is Chinese, I'm half Asian, and my cousin is Italian) and ANY skin type. She brings out the best features. She is the best of the best. I can't say enough good things about Jan - she is professional, very very friendly, timely, and a pro at what she does. The first time I met her was when she did an initial makeup trial at my home. I recommend this initial trial to all brides as it allows you to hear her suggestions and for you to tell her how you want to look. She takes notes and makes you feel so comfortable. On my wedding day I had a spot (the horror!) and she was able to cover it up without any problem whatsoever. It was really important for me to look my best on my wedding day and Jan really did a wonderful job! I'm going to hire her again for other important events. Thank you! xoxo

Jan did a great job on makeup for myself and two bridesmaids. She was friendly, responsive and enthusiastic about her work. Jan arrived early on the big day, and made sure we were on schedule without being pushy or demanding. I rarely wear makeup and Jan was able give me a natural, yet dressed up look. She even bought mascara just for me and let me keep it! The look held up all day and night, and I didn't even feel like I had any makeup on. Jan's services are well worth her reasonable prices. I'd definitely recommend her.

I truly cannot say enough positive things about Jan and the wonderful job she did on my wedding day! Upon meeting her, I could immediately tell that she is an utmost professional. I was very impressed that she asked both me and my husband about our comfort levels with makeup and was able to achieve exactly what I wanted from our conversations. She really takes the time to focus on what YOU want and to me, it felt like we were working together to achieve the perfect look for the perfect day. It was important to me to look natural but still have that element of drama - and she did exactly that. She did an absolutely amazing job on my makeup and I have never felt more beautiful! From beginning to end, she was perfection :) She is also a really fun gal to have around which is an added bonus! You will not be disappointed in choosing Jan - I wish I could do it all over again!

Jan is nothing short of a makeup miracle worker. Her talent, professionalism and personality make her so much fun to work with. I had seen Jan in action several months earlier at a friend's wedding and knew without a doubt she was the artist I'd choose for my own day. Jan provided makeup artistry for my mother, mother in-law and myself on the big day and we were all just thrilled with our look. I was going for a bit of 1960's feel with my dress, hair and makeup, but did not want to look like I was going to a costume party (or worse yet, Amy Winehouse!). Jan completely understood what I was going for an translated what I wanted into a look that was fresh, contemporary and very me. I am still receiving comments about how great my makeup looked. I call Jan a miracle worker because she was able to take troubled skin like mine and transform it into something amazing without making me feel or look like I was wearing 10 lbs. of makeup. She really knows her stuff. By the end of the morning, my bridal suite was filled with bridesmaids, family, photographers, etc. and despite all of the commotion, Jan remained calm, cool and collected - in fact, she probably helped bring my own stress level down a few notches through her demeanor. I really can't say enough about Jan and her work. She's fabulous!

I can't recommend Jan highly enough. I decided just a few weeks before my wedding that I wanted professional makeup services, and I got very lucky in finding Jan. Great things about my experience: (1) she came to my house to do a trial run, and was very flexible on the timing; (2) she listened very carefully to the look I was going for and executed it beautifully; (3) I don't wear a lot of color on a day-to-day basis, and was rather uncomfortable in a brighter shade of lipstick than I was accustomed to -- Jan had great advice about wearing a lip color that would look good in photos, and we must have tried a dozen different shades until we found one that I liked in person and am so glad I wore for photos; (4) she arrived early to set up on the day of the wedding (late vendors are so stressful); (5) she couldn't have been more gracious when -- due to a late vendor for soundcheck, see previous parenthetical -- I was half an hour late getting into the makeup chair; (6) I had a terrible blemish on my forehead -- highly visible and which I'd made much worse -- and she performed *magic* on it, making it entirely unnoticeable in person and virtually invisible even in unretouched photos; (7) ditto the magic comment for some scars on my neck (8) I asked for and received great skin care advice; (9) she was very friendly, relaxed yet professional, and made me very comfortable in the jittery hour or so before the ceremony; (10) my makeup stayed put through much dancing, tearing up, etc., and most importantly (11) I loved my makeup! It looked just wonderful, like me, but better. It was worth every penny. Seriously, compare the price of makeup services to other expenses. No one -- least of all you, during the wedding -- will notice if you have 2 versus 3 lilies in a flower arrangement, but everyone will notice what you look like, and I definitely got more than $250 worth of happiness and peace-of-mind in feeling like I looked my best.

Jan,I have been meaning to thank you for the wonderful job you did for us for Tiffany and Graham's wedding. I could not have been more pleased! It was such a pleasure working with you and I still feel badly that you had to haul your massively heavy bag up all of the those stairs to the penthouse at the Tabard Inn! I have to say that I NEVER like photographs of myself and you did exactly what I wanted by insuring that I do not feel that way looking back at the pictures of me at Tiffany's wedding. I would have been so disappointed if that had been the case since she is my one and only daughter/child. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would highly recommend you to every bride and mother of the bride and will definitely have my makeup professionally done for every occasion that arises in my life for which it is important for me to feel beautiful. You use your artistic talents in a way that is delightful. I am even still doling out the little sample of apricot-colored lip color that you gave to me because I use it when I want to feel good about myself. I'll never wear darker lipstick again! :)Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't also mention the beautiful bride for whom you did an incredible job as well. In my book she has always been beautiful in photographs (it's a Mom-thing?) but you captured her in a most natural and yet elegant way.Many, many thanks again and all the best to you!Carleen JenkoThe photo I sent to you of me was taken at 11pm on the wedding night - looking like I was as fresh as at 3pm! You're the best!!!!!

Jan did such an amazing job and I can not say enough about her and her work! My make-up has never looked so good as it did on my wedding day. I was very particular with my hair and make-up, and wanted to make sure I was comfortable with my make-up artist. I knew she was the one after our trial...she even travels to you for your trial, which is unlike any other make-up artist I researched. Jan did my make-up for my Bridal shower (that was our trial) and the pictures came out so wonderful and everyone commented on how wonderful my make-up looked. All of my friends and family photos from the wedding came out wonderful and I can't wait to see the professional pictures. I just remember looking into the mirror for the first time when Jan was putting the finishing touches on and remember wanting to cry. Jan was timely, extremely friendly, and very flexible. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any bride! Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day perfect!

I found Jan on the internet, and met her before my wedding for a trial makeup session. I usually do not wear a lot of makeup and Jan gave me a natural look that looked great in the photos but I still felt like myself. She also did my bridesmaid's makeup (my sister-in-law) and I've never seen her look so beautiful. I highly recommend Jan to any bride or wedding party, she is not only talented but also a great person and fun to work with!

Jan Scott provided makeup for my wedding in Leesburg, VA on Aug 16, 2008. She did a fantastic job and was extremely pleasant to work with. Her services were one of the highlights of the event! I highly recommend her for any occasion!

Jan was absolutely FABULOUS to work with! She did such a great job on my wedding day makeup and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! You definitely get your money's worth with Jan! We got together before the wedding for a trial and I loved the way she did my makeup. She made me feel very calm and comfortable! She also did my Mom's makeup and she looked gorgeous! If you do not call Jan to do your wedding day makeup you are making a HUGE mistake!

Jan provided services for my wedding day make-up application. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She not only listened to what “I” wanted as the bride, but provided me with make-up tips and product suggestions to enhance my wedding day look. Additionally, she provided me a lipstick and gloss sample to touch-up with at the reception. This “sample”, which was the perfect lip color for me, lasted throughout my honeymoon. I should also share that Jan was a very caring and kind professional as she saved my sister from true embarrassment. After visiting another salon for make-up application, my sister was horrified to see her make-up (done by the other salon) in the real light; however, Jan stepped right in and saved the day. While I was busy having my hair done, Jan sat my sister in her chair and fixed her look. Needless to say, my sister and I felt absolutely beautiful. Given the amount of compliments which I received (on my make-up alone) and the way that I felt as a bride on my special day, I highly recommend Jan’s services.

Jan was absolutely fantastic! She was one of my favorite vendors to work with. She was prompt and professional, and really listened to me about what I wanted, what I didn't want, and worked with me (even when I didn't realize what I was talking about!) She also did the makeup for my Mom, who really loved working with her too. Bottom line, I felt absolutely stunningly beautiful on my wedding day, and a huge part of that I owe to Jan!

I'm so glad I chose Jan for my wedding day make-up. She was extremely professional, and the results were just what I wanted - natural, fresh-looking, and elegant. She also did my mom's make-up, and I've never seen her look more beautiful. You can tell that Jan really knows her products, and has experience working with different skin (and personality) types. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other brides.

I can't say enough good things about Jan! First off, she comes to your home for the initial trial!! After months of schlepping all over the greater DC area to meet with wedding vendors, I can't tell you what a treat it was to have her come to me! I was so happy with the trial, that I booked her on the spot and cancelled my other appointments. Jan is very detail oriented--which I appreciated. She asked to see pics of my dress, inquired about the jewelry I planned to wear, and the location of the wedding before we started talking make-up--something other folks I'd met with hadn't bothered to do. Secondly, she's an absolute doll! I wanted to hug her almost immediately upon meeting her. This is something not everyone might consider, but I appreciated the fact that she was calm, laid-back, and just generally awesome, which made her a pleasure to be around when I was a nervous wreck on the big day. She was also the only vendor who sent me a handwritten thank you note after I booked with her, thanking me for my business. Most importantly, her work is amazing! I was thrilled with how my makeup turned out. I also appreciated that she told me exactly which products she was using during the trial. She gives you the lipcolor to reapply (and a brush), on the wedding day, but I was so happy with the concealer that she used on me at the trial, that I went out and bought some as well before the wedding. I toyed with the idea of doing my own makeup, but I am SO happy that I hired Jan--she really knows her stuff. I felt glamorous without feeling overdone--it was definitely more makeup than I normally wear, but it was exactly right for the occasion. Highly, highly recommend!!

Jan was a complete delight to work with, and she truly added the finishing and polishing touches to my wedding day look. She understood my style, my tastes, and I immediately trusted her artistic touch with complete confidence. I am someone who loves makeup, and have even done friends' makeup for their own weddings. But for my own wedding day, I wanted someone with a fantastic eye (and hand) who knows how to make a bride glow both in person and also in photos. I would recommend Jan to any bride looking to feel and look gorgeous on their important day.

Jan is one great make-up artist! I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day. Everyone kept commenting on my skin and face -- telling me I was glowing, asking if I had recently gotten facial. I didn't feel like I had on heavy make-up (and didn't look heavily made up close-up), but it is obvious in our wedding photographs that Jan had really worked her magic! She is talented, professional, and keeps lines of communication open with her clients. I HIGHLY recommend Jan's services for any special day!

Jan did my makeup for both the engagement photo session and the wedding. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! I spoke to several other artists, and decided to have my trial with Jan for the engagement photo session. Immediately after Jan did my makeup, I knew I had made the right choice! I was looking for a natural, yet flawless look, and Jan did just that – she highlighted and brought out my best features, which was EXACTLY what I was looking for! A friend commented on my engagement photos: “I cannot even begin to tell you how good you looked!” Jan did a fantastic job with my wedding makeup as well; that day, I definitely looked the best I have ever looked! Notably, unlike many other wedding vendors, Jan got back to me right away, confirmed all arrangements and showed up to the appointments EARLY! I plan to go back to Jan for all my makeup needs in the future. She is a pro at what she does, and her professionalism and warm personality are an added bonus!

I did my trial makeup with her this weekend and it was a lot of fun!! She was very open as to what I wanted. I pretty much let her do her thing, which I think probably works very well with her because she is a great artist. She is great for those that want to do a trial makeup and pay for it separately (don't forget to tip!) but want flexibility as far as who they choose for their wedding day. Overall, I highly recommend her.

I used Jan for my 2.26.11 wedding. She actually subbed for my makeup artist that was unable to do my makeup due to an ailing family member. Jan swooped in and was AMAZING. I received tons of compliments from wedding guests on my makeup. She plays up your natural beauty and will listen if you want dramatic or natural looking makeup. My pictures came out looking flawless and I have acne-prone/oily skin that I am constantly checking. All the products she used were great for my sensitive skin. She also did my mother's makeup and it turned out looking age appropriate and amazing. She is on time, professional, pumps you up and compliments you, and makes you look great on the most important day of your life....what more could you ask for??

Jan was absolutely wonderful on my wedding day! First, she was extremely responsible and professional in all communications before booking the trial and wedding day. She was open and flexible in incorporating my ideas and helped me to create a beautiful, elegant, and classy wedding day look! She was early on the wedding day and it was comforting to know that I could count on Jan. She applied my makeup beautifully and it lasted all day!! I couldn't have picked anyone better. Thanks Jan!

I did not use Jan for a wedding, but was approaching my 25th wedding anniversary with my spouse and wanted to improve on my look. At 42 I was seeing a bit of change in my skin and my old makeup routine was just not working any more. I was looking tired and didn't feel very attractive. I found Jan on the internet and loved her website. The almost two and a half hours we spent together during my private consultation was well worth it. She taught me some tricks with mascara that were priceless. She also recommended colors that worked and colors to avoid. When she left I felt completely transformed. My husband didn't make it home to see the outcome that night, but I was able to easily replicate it the next day. When he came home the next night he wanted to know what I had done differently - and he said my "eyes were sexy!" Quite a thing to hear after 25 years of marriage.I have had many friends comment on the change. I will hit 43 this month feeling better than ever.I would give Jan the highest recommendation. She is so sweet and funny. I had a blast with her and learned a great deal.

Jan did a great job with my wedding makeup. She noticed that I was a bit uncomfortable with how it looked at the trial, and adjusted it on the day of the wedding to make sure I was satisfied. She looked at my wedding hair (medival inspired, although it wasn't a theme wedding) and changed my cheek and eye color to coordinate. She was also very sweet during the application. We were alone in the room, and she was very focused on keeping me calm. She had me put on the TV, called down to my sister's room to have her bring me food and drink, and kept up a pleasant conversation.Jan is a bit expensive, but in the end she was worth it. My makeup looked great all day (surviving 90 degree Washington DC heat!), came across very well in the photographs, and didn't look too scary in person.Jan is great and I highly recommend her, especilly if you are willing to spend a little bit on your makeup for the day.

Jan was great! She was a bit on the expensive side but she knew what she was doing and her experience showed. I was a bit tough on her during the trial because I am not used to wearing makeup. But after getting used to it and being all dressed up, it looked great! I had concerns about my face becoming oily on the wedding day because it did on the day that I had my trial done. But Jan took care of it and my makeup looked great the whole day! From 9 AM - midnight! And that included sweating during dancing for 4 hours.

I can't say enough good things about Jan and her amazing talent! I worked with Jan on a number of weddings. I am always in awe of the the beauty she creates. She has such an eye for makeup! Each face she does is flawless! Even when it calls for smoky eyes or retro, she rises to each challenge and creates art that compliments every aspect of the bride! Not only is she truly an artist and professional but she is so sweet, so fun and I just love sharing space with her at any event. She is a full of energy, life and passion for her craft. I would refer her to any of my closest family or friends.

I worked with Jan recently and was blown away by her flawless make up application as well as her exquisite attention to detail. She is a very talented make up artist and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her.

Jan is a dream to work with and an exquisite makeup artist! She produces that "glow" that every bride is dreaming of. Her high level of professionalism, talent and fun personality, makes for a PERFECT wedding day!
