Jillyan Scarpa/Skin Bar & Paint Studio

I found Jillyan though recommendations on The Knot. I had a trial with her and another makeup artist and Jillyan's technic blew the other girl out the water. It was stunning. The day of the wedding Jillyan had such an upbeat personality and everyone was so happy with their makeup. I am planning to go to Jillyan to do my makeup for my cousin's wedding in Sept.

Jillyan did such a great job with me and my bridal party. She showed up on time and all of our makeup came out great! I plan on using Jillyan for future events. Her pricing was very fair!!

Jillyan was great. I found her from my sister, who used her for many other weddings and special occasions. She is really quick and doesn't make you look heavy, and all made up, just perfect and totally natural! She was a pleasure to work with and I will be using her again. Everytime I have a special event to go to I always give Jillyan a call, so she can make me beautiful!!!

Thanks so much Jill!

I used Jillyan for my bridal and bridal party makeup this past June, and I cannot stress enough how amazing she was! I interviewed a lot of people over the phone and she was just so friendly and honest from the start. In person she was just as wonderful and so so talented! She used high-end makeup and gave us all eyelashes for free (AMAZING)

My entire bridal party looked so gorgeous, and my mother and sister looked so beautiful I had tears in my eyes. My makeup came out better than I even expected.

DEFINITELY use Jillyan for your wedding if she isn't booked already, she'll reserve the WHOLE day for you and she is so cool to work with :)

Jill is awesome! She listens to what you want and don't want and doesn't just make everyone's make-up look the same. My make-up was fabulous and it lasted all day long. I didn't look like I had a ton of make-up on. I can't say enough good things about her, she really is wonderful and I highly recommend her.

Working with Jillyan was an absolute joy! From my initial trial to her follow-up after the wedding, the care and clear passion she has for her work made me feel completely at ease.

Prior to the wedding Jillyan followed-up with me a number of times to ensure she had all the information she needed (from the look I was going for to the time and location for makeup application) and was very flexible given that I didn't know until the day of the wedding how many individuals would be needing makeup. On the day of the wedding, Jillyan arrived at our bridal suite ready to work around our schedules and "rolled with the punches" as the bridal party flipped back and forth between hair and makeup. Going into the big day I was certain that some of the blemishes on my face were going to be visible as I was walking down the aisle. After Jillyan finished my makeup, I looked in the mirror and was extremely happy and surprised that my face looked just perfect. Not only had the makeup covered everything, but she had achieved the soft look I was hoping for. My makeup lasted the entire evening – through the heat of our outdoor ceremony and a full face of vanilla cake (courtesy of my loving husband).

Jillyan's ability to work with a variety of ages and skin types was wonderful. From my 50-year-old mother to my 12 year-old sister (and even my husband), Jillyan was able to provide age and personality appropriate perfection. I would highly recommend her services to family, friends and complete strangers!

Great. I just want to tell everyone, that Jillyan is very reasonable. I found her through my friend that got married in NJ. Jillyan traveled to Long Island for my wedding. She was on time and was awesome. Jillyan uses MAC makeup and does airbrushing.
The bride was 150 and my girls were 65. I highly recommend!

Jillyan was tremendously personable and professional. She was on-time and took very good care of myself and my bridal party. She was highly knowledgeable and knew exactly what I wanted. She gave me a very natural look that I was very pleased with. I cannot recommend Jillyan enough. She was one of my favorite vendors and my day would not have been complete without her!

Jillyan!!! 12.31.08 yay! & you did an amazing job at Amor's wedding.
Jillyan has done my sister and best friends wedding and will be doing my makeup come this December, she is realible, amazing with color and always has a way to calm us down!!!!! Rosaly

I had 2 other trials before finding Jillyan and immediately after my trial I knew she was perfect! She is a MAC makeup artist who travels to you the day of. She listened to all of my requests about how my makeup was done, and my makeup lasted all day long. Plus, her prices are very reasonable as compared to other makeup artists who travel to you, and she doesn’t have a minimum number of people.

Jillyan is the best of the best!!! The first time I met Jillyan was my wedding day. She made it really accommodating for me by coming to my house on my special day. I was running around doing hair and prep, and she made it so stress free! I am not too much of a daily makeup girl so I asked her to do what she thought would be best. I could not be HAPPIER with the results! She gave me the final beautiful touches to look like a true Barbie doll. All night the make up held, and everyone raved on how gorgeous I looked. In every one of my pictures I photographed amazing!! Her work is worth every penny and more!
I also used Jillyan for my brother in law's wedding, and yet again she out did herself! People were telling me I looked better than the bride. She does amazing work and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

I do not remember how much I paid for my bridal makeup, but it was totally worth the price. My makeup stayed on perfectly allll day, I looked amazing in my wedding photos. Jillyan also supplied a sample lip gloss to keep my lips fresh all day. She also did my mother's makeup for my wedding and my mother looked gorgeous with all the right colors. Jillyan works with you and your colors or if you want suggestions she will suggest colors for you. I HIGHLY recommend Jillyan for your wedding.

I'm a recent bride(client) of Jillyan Scarpa and I must tell you that I'm very pleased with her quality of work. She is wonderful! I first met Jillyan when she did my makeup for my cousin's wedding about 2 years ago. I've been using her services ever since then - not only is Jillyan a terrific makeup artist, but a great person, overall! She has a tremendous amount of experience, is friendly, encouraging, and so easy to work with. I've gotten my makeup done by her for various special occasions such as other weddings, my engagement photo session, rehearsal dinner, and I even tried airbrush tanning with her for the very first time! I've been very happy with the results so I am sure I will be using Jillyan's services again even after my wedding...



I had a 2-year engagement, which gave me plenty of time to find someone I was comfortable with to do my makeup on my special day. It was actually a big concern for me because I'm not a big makeup person (practically clueless) and I didn't want to look too made up or just unnatural. I still wanted to look like "me". Jillyan took the time to listen to me, to what I wanted, and worked WITH me to get the look I was going for. She made me feel comfortable in my own skin and made the whole process fun and memorable. I highly recommend Jillyan's services - I'm confident she can help any bride achieve their special look. I'm so happy I found a makeup artist for life and developed a new friendship as well. :-)

Jillyan is truely the BEST!!!! Found her through a friend at work. Make-up artist for me has always been a nightmare. I am not one much to wear make-up and was nervous when I booked my trial. But she put all my fears to rest. On my big day (5/19/07)EVERYONE'S makeup came out awesome! Even the apprehensive bridesmaids were pleased!... Make-up was very natural and light. You cannot go wrong! Believe me that's ONE thing on your day that you will never have to worry about!!

Thanks again for making me beautiful on my big day!

Jillyan is the BEST! It's like inviting your friend over to do your make-up. She is very professional and a real down to earth person. She handles the chaos around her with ease and is always on time. She works around your schedule and makes sure every girl is accounted for. Her prices are very reasonable too! I had eight girls for her the day of my wedding. She did an amazing job for me and my bridal party as well as my sister’s, my cousin’s, and two other friends of the family’s wedding parties. Every one of my bridesmaids looked fabulous and my make-up was beautiful. She is very flexible you can tell her exactly what you want to be done or let her come up with what she thinks is right for you. You never look over done, it doesn’t even feel like you have make-up on, and it lasts the whole night through. I danced my butt off at my wedding and my make-up looked just as great at the end of the night as it did at the beginning. I have unedited pictures to prove it! Jillyan truly is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Skin Bar & Paint Studio. She has made dozens of my family and friends look fabulous time and time again.

Thanks Jillyan, once again for an amazing job!

Jillyan was amazing. She did such an amazing job on my makeup and it looked fresh and natural. I felt so confident on my wedding day and I wouldn't have otherwise. She did airbrush makeup that provided me with great coverage but looked so natural. She was wonderful to work with! Friendly and reassuring, I really enjoyed working with her. I would recommend her to anyone. She was incredible!

Jillyan was one of the greatest parts of my wedding day! She did an amazing job with the makeup for my entire bridal party. I told her exactly what I had in mind for my makeup, and she worked her magic. I have had my makeup done by other professionals, and they can't hold a candle to Jillyan's work. She is a wonderful person and she's extremely talented.
