Ore' Makeup Design

Karen and Julie completely transformed me on my wedding day. I was extremely happy and never felt more beautiful.

My makeup done by Karen was exceptional and lasted till I went to bed that evening.

Julie did a fantastic job with my hair and I received countless compliments.

They were both punctual, professional, and fun to work with.

I can always count on Karen to help me look and feel my best! At my sister’s wedding and my own, Karen delivers makeup application of superior quality, and she comes with my highest recommendation. Karen, I cannot thank you enough for helping me to look and feel beautiful on my wedding day.

Karen was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she do a beautiful job applying my makeup for my wedding, my mother's , the maid -of-honor, and one of the bridesmaid, but she was extremely nice, funny, and made us all feel relaxed. Our makeup looked flawless, and remained in place for 11 hours until we took it off. We all received so many compliments, and I loved the way she did my makeup. I looked glowing! Karen was easy to talk to, I always received a quick response, and she was a true professional coming fully prepared. I highly recommend and would call her again to do my makeup for another special event.

I originally booked Karen and Julie to do my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, and once I saw the great work they did, I booked them to do me and my 'maids hair and makeup for my wedding day. The prices can't be beat and the quality is amazing! All of my girls looked stunning and even my fine, straight hair stayed curly and in place all day! Plus, I had an 11:30am ceremony time and had to be at the venue by 10, and they came early enough to my hotel to get everything done--with a half hour to spare! I definitely recommend Karen and Julie to any bride! :)

I love Karen (the makeup artist) and Rosie (the hair stylist)! I'm not normally much of a makeup wearer, but duo did a great job of making me look like "myself but better" without giving me a heavy, trashy, pageant-y vibe that I was worried about. My mother, the mother of the groom and my bridesmaid loved them, too. My makeup looked perfect--glowy and amped up but still natural; and my hair held up all night, even through to the after-party. Their prices were reasonable, and I was happy to shell out for the trial run on me beforehand just to make sure I wouldn't look weird or fake. Karen was very responsive and personable throughout the whole process. On the day of, in addition to doing the makeup, she did a great job of helping keep my mom calm when some transportation issues arose with getting my brother to the venue. Likewise, Rosie did a fantastic job of being patient and working to get it right when my bridesmaid wanted to have a ponytail piece put in but it was not quite working at first. In the end, everything looked great and I wish they could follow me around and do my makeup and hair all the time in real life. Alas.

I cannot say enough about how exceptional Ore Designs was. My hair and make-up for my wedding day was flawless and my bridesmaids looked beautiful. The professionalism was outstanding. I would recommend Ore Designs to all future brides!

Karen fom Ore' Makeup Design did my makeup for my wedding as well as my mom's, and all of my bridesmaids. I have never felt MORE beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and Karen definitely had a huge part in that! All the girls were so happy with their makeup, and bridesmaids who originally did not sign up for the makeup services, purchased them after seeing how gorgeous all of the other girls looked.

Karen bonded quickly with my mom and I the first time we met her - when I went to her studio for my trial. She immediately felt like one of the family, and on the day of the wedding her easygoing and funny personality put a lot of people (most especially my mom) at ease.

Rose who did my hair also did an amazing job as well! My hair was simply FABULOUS and I was just thrilled with how it came out. Rose was an absolute sweetheart who is dedicated and serious about her work, and the results show!

I would definitely recommend the Ore' Makeup team to ANY bride in the NJ/NY area :)

Karen and Julie did an amazing job! They did the hair and makeup for myself, my mom and MOH. None of us wear much makeup in our daily lives and we really wanted to look like ourselves but on our best day, and that is exactly what Karen and Julie delivered. We looked both natural and beautiful, and so many people commented on how amazing they made me look. My MOH's six year old daughter told me I should wear my hair that way every day (if I only had the skills to pull that off)! On top of that they were an absolute pleasure to be with, warm, friendly and easy-going, just the sort of company you'd want the morning of your wedding day!

Karen did a fabulous job with the makeup for my wedding. Not everyone spent the money to have their makeup done, but my mom, me, and a couple bridesmaids did. Its amazing the difference you can see how we looked compared to the girls who didn't have their makeup done. Some of them looked real pale and washed out in their pictures.

I have hazel eyes and sometimes many people mistake them for brown. I really wanted my eyes to stand out in the pictures so they looked hazel. Karen did a great job choosing colors that played off my natural eye color. The pictures look amazing!

She was a great pleasure to work with and her prices were extremely reasonable.

Karen was wonderful!!! My makeup turned out amazing. I would highly recommend Karen. She was very calm and professional.

Karen was fantastic from the first moment I spoke to her. She was approachable, knowledgeable, and put me at ease. She did a great job on my make up trial and our personalities connected. My bridesmaids all loved her and were happy that she was affordable. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone who is looking for a make up artist who captures your natural beauty and is willing to work with your specific needs. She can adjust to anything you may/want and need. Karen, thank you again for making me look my best on my special day.

I came across Karen at a bridal show and I'm glad I did. I had her, Angela and Barbara helping to make myself and my bridesmaids look our best and we never looked better. I loved the soft, classic look that Karen gave me and Angela did a great job getting the bridesmaids ready. Barbara was a hair artist extraordinaire, I loved the styles she gave to each of the bridesmaids and of course myself! She did a great job of creating the same look that was in the photos some of the girls brought in. I loved working with Karen and her team. They were professional, friendly, and best of all kept us right on schedule. I highly recommend!

Karen and Julie are amazing to work with! Even though they had to come to us so early in the morning because I had a day wedding, they were so easy to work with and were so accommodating, especially when we had to add 2 more hair appointments that morning! Above all, I felt like a princess with my hair and makeup and was so confident on my big day! I cannot thank these ladies enough!

I could not have been more happy with my hair and makeup the day of the wedding. I normally never wear makeup, and was hesitant to spring for it since I am on a strict budget. But looking back at the pictures makes it a thousand times worth it. Eunice made me look and feel beautiful and her and her assistant did an excellent job with all of my bridesmaids' hair. I would highly recommend them!

Karen did my makeup for my wedding on 5/20/12 as well as that of my mom, bridesmadi and MOH. We are all very different looking and everyone looked amazing. I have never seen my mom wear makeup and she looked absolutely stunning. My MOH and Bridesmaids looked stunning as well, and not overly done. Karen was able to capture and hilight their natural beauty. MY makeup looked incredible as well, and I was complimented tremendously the entire night and on the photos. More importantly, it held up all day! And it was HOT that day. If i ever need makeup services again, Oremakeupdesign will be my first call.

Julie was in charge of our hair and we did not make it easy on her. My hair is long and straight and I had a list of what NOT to do, but no idea of what TO do. Julie helped me create a perfect hairstyle and I could not imagine my hair any other way. It was perfect for me and the theme. More importantly it stayed for over 12 hours and I vouch that my hair does NOT hold a curl for the life of me. She has a magic touch! My MOH and Bridesmaid both had set styles and their hair came out perfect. My mom was even more of a challenge then me, with super short straight hair and NO idea what she wanted done. Mom had at least 5 trials with other people before I convinced her to use Julie. Her hair looked amazing and perfect. She was so happy and for my mom to say that, it really means something!

I highly recommend this team to brides or anyone wanting to look and feel amazing on a special day!


Thank...

Karen was highly recommended by my bridal boutique owner and I’m so glad I received her contact information! I was very pleased with the makeup trial and of course, used Karen for my wedding. My bridal party and my mom had their makeup done as well and everyone looked absolutely stunning; beautiful, but not overdone. I couldn't have been happier with my makeup or felt more beautiful as well. I was complimented all evening. Since my wedding, I have gone back to have my makeup done by Karen for other events and hope to do so for any future occasions as well. I would recommend Karen to anyone; she has such a great personality and is equally as talented. Thank you Karen!

Karen at Ore' Make-up is great. Her hairstylists and makeup artists helped get myself, mom, and bridesmaids all ready for the day. They were on time, fun to talk with, and made us look beautiful. They even make the trip to your house or venue to get us ready. It was amazing.

I cannot thank you all enough.

Karen was wonderful! I wanted to look like the "movie star" version of myself and that is exactly what Karen did! I felt so beautiful! Karen was sensitive to the fact that I wore contacts and I was able to put "rewetting drops" in my eyes several times without messing up the make up. I got married on the day of that freak snow storm in October and our reception was canceled until the next day due to power outages! I kept my make up on until the next day and the make up still looked fabulous!

Julie and Karen are a rare find in a sea of choices for bridal hair and makeup. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt on my big day.

They were able to interpret the style I was looking for and what would look best on me. Not only are they extremely talented & creative, but they were so incredibly easy to work with – I feel like I found a couple of new friends! Also, their prices can’t be beat – especially for the quality of service I received!

The day of my wedding, they met me, my mother & my bridesmaids at the venue to begin hair/make-up. I was blown away by their execution, and they made my mom and BM’s look absolutely amazing.

The makeup and hair were natural and felt like a better extension of who I am. And, everything stayed in place long after the reception was over! The team is amazing and would work with them again in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever...

Karen... and Julie,

I just want to thank you both so very much for being with us and helping us get ready for this life changing day.
You were calm and fun and just a delight... like one of the girls, yet taking care of all of us.
I have truly never felt so very beautiful then when you sent me off to get dressed. And all day long, as I chanced to catch a glimpse of myself, I was amazed. Simple elegance. And the rest of the girls were just as lovely and pleased.
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of the day. You are truly an artist!

Karen was extremely patient with me since I do not typically wear a lot of make-up and I have sensitive skin. She did a fantastic job selecting the color palette that truly highlighted my natural beauty and did not irritate my skin. She also did the make-up for two of my bridesmaid as well. Since we had a morning wedding, Karen met us at the hotel at 6:45 am ready to get us started. We were all very pleased with her work and highly recommend her services.

Karen and Julie were absolutely AMAZING! I couldn't be happier with how my make-up looked on and in photos. Not only they talented, both Karen and Julie were incredibly fast and really listened to what I wanted for my make-up and my hair on my wedding day. All of the ladies looked gorgeous. They were also absolutely adorable and a dream to work with. I highly recommend them and hope to be able to work with them again for another event at some point.

I would recommend Ore Design to anyone. Karen did an exceptional job on my make up. She made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! And Julie did an awesome job on my hair. It's exactly what I wanted! Thank you Ore Design for making me feel like a princess on one of the most important days of my life!

I couldn't have selected a better company to make me beautiful on my wedding day! Karen is so professional, yet down to earth. She took the time to do my makeup and listened to exactly what I wanted. She really goes above and beyond. Her prices are reasonable and she eliminates stress by traveling to your location. My bridal party was thrilled with her services and we all thank you for makeup that photographed beautifully! You're a gem :-)

Ore Makeup did a fabulous job on all of my girls and myself. We did the hair and makeup package and everyone came out stunning. All night anything anyone could talk about was how beautiful all the girls looked. Karen just portrayed everyone's beauty so wonderfully and I couldn't of asked for a better make up artist.

Karen was awesome! She was not only hilarious and fun to have as part of my bridal shower evening (when I did my make up trial) and my wedding day, but she is equally as talented. My makeup was flawless. She listened to exactly what I wanted.. something natural, with a little va-va-voom glam. It was perfect. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day, the way every bride should.

Karen provides make-up services and Rose does hair. Both did an excellent job. Karen does a natural, but sexy job.

Karen of Ore Makeup Design did a fabulous job making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I think my bridal party felt just as beautiful as well.

Karen is an amazing make up artist. Her make up and my camera have an on going love affair. All of our brides wind up being a post card for our business cards......... Karen is on time, professional, creative and has a wonderful personality that is easy to work with........

Karen is a true professional, she makes her clients relaxed and comfortable as she transforms them into a Beautiful Bride. I highly recommend Ore Make-Up Design, they make my job easier as a photographer.
