Skin Deep Makeup Design

My mother has always told me I'm beautiful, but I never felt it as much as on my wedding day. And that's because Sam did my makeup. She made my eyes look huge and my skin look flawless. She recreated every single detail I'd loved from my makeup trial without me reminding her of anything. She quickly and efficiently picked up her brushes and glosses and did her thing, all the while chatting in her friendly and adorable way and putting me totally at ease. I got so many compliments on my makeup that day, I can't even remember them all. It showed up so wonderfully in pictures and didn't smear, smudge, fade, or shine once during the entire day. I literally didn't reapply powder ONCE, and I have pretty oily skin! Thank you, Sam, for being so flexible with rearranging my makeup trial and for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day! Definitely recommend her to any bride who wants to feel the same way.

Sam is every bride's dream when it comes to a makeup artist. She is professional, timely, has reasonable rates, and is truly an artist!

I had a makeup trial at my local salon, and I came home crying because it was so bad. I knew I didn't want to look the way I felt after that trial on my wedding day, so I scrambled to find a new makeup artist. By pure luck, I found Sam's website and she had my date open. The great part about her website is that she has a calendar where you can see if your date is already booked, which is so helpful when trying to find a vendor. Anyway, I went for my trial right away, and instead of crying tears of sadness, she made me cry tears of happiness. When I met Sam for my trial, she greeted me with a warm hug, and spent about 2 hours doing my makeup, and explaining every step. All of her brushes were sanitary, and she was sure to ask me how I wanted to look on my wedding day and if I had any allergies (at the salon, the girl failed to do all of the above!). I couldn't believe how beautiful she made me look, and I couldn't wait for my wedding day.

On the wedding day, she arrived on time, and had us all out the door by the time the photographer arrived. I had so many people at the wedding ask who did my makeup, and Sam made my maid of honor, mother, and mother-in-law feel and look so beautiful! We couldn't be happier with the results on that...

Sam provided makeup service for me and my bridal party. I cannot say enough good things about her! She made me look absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day which in turn, made me feel fabulous and very confident! Before the wedding day we did a trial and she perfected my look and on the wedding day was able to copy the exact same look she provided for me on the trial. I felt this was VERY important because it wasn't something I wanted to worry about the day of the wedding. She made me feel very comfortable and her professionalism and her own confidence would put any bride at ease. In addition, she works FAST! On your wedding day, you want an artist that can perfect your look in the quickest time possible and Sam does just that! I have received NUMEROUS compliments on my makeup and on how beautiful I looked and all my bridesmaids who got their makeup done by her now swear by her! I will continue to book Sam in the future for all big events (I wish I could book her everyday) and continue to recommend her to all future brides!!! Thank you Sam - you are simply FABULOUS!

Samantha is amazing!! I (as well as all of my girls) absolutely loved our makeup and we think she did an amazing job! My makeup and skin looked flawless and I loved my lashes!! It lasted the entire night!! I would recommend Samantha to everyone and anyone!! Thank you!

Sam was awesome! She was quickly able to accommodate me and my rather large party on short notice. Everything was great from her communication, to the trial, to her services the day of the wedding. She was super accommodating and made sure we looked our best! (which is not an easy task when you've got 10 women with different taste in make up ranging from 15 to 63!) Everyone had so much fun with her and were impressed at how beautiful they looked. I got married on a 95 degree day, partied all night and then partied some more and my make up still looked great when I finally got to the hotel at 3am!

I would absolutely recommend Skin Deep Makeup Design and will hopefully get to be beautified by Sam again!

Samantha, of Skin Deep Makeup Design, made me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. She is the sweetest girl and despite loving my consultation a few months before the wedding, I was blown away by the final project on my wedding day. Samantha made my bridesmaids, mother and mother in law look just as pretty. The makeup was naturally done and perfectly balanced. Samantha was extremely responsive during the planning process, she was timely on my wedding day, and timed the makeup perfectly! I would love to be able to use her again to do my makeup, best ever!

Sam is wonderful! She did a amazing job on everyone's makeup for my wedding from my myself to the bridesmaids and both our moms! Everyone was pleased with the outcome! Sam is very sweet and listens to what you have in mind for your day. She is extremely talented! She went above and beyond on my wedding day, I can't thank her enough!

Sam is so talented at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to look and feel their best on their wedding day. All of my bridesmaids still talk about how great Sam made them look the day of our wedding.

Not only is Sam great at what she does, but she takes the time to get to know you too - I felt like I was getting ready with one of my girlfriends, which was great!

I have never had my makeup done and didn't know where to start so I spent hours going through makeup artists' portfolios and reviews. When I came across the Skin Deep Makeup Design portfolio, I was blown away by both the quality of the work and how each bride seemed to radiate an excited and happy energy. Although every bride is happy and gorgeous on her wedding day, you can tell when they actually FEEL they are stunning.

From the moment I contacted Samantha I knew I could stop my search. She was personable, friendly and the price was right (especially in comparison to some other popular artists on the same level with astronomical prices). I booked her without a trial (call it a gut instinct) beforehand and I'm so happy I did.

Samantha made a house call to do my trial. How's that for service?? I had put it off forever, confident that she would deliver, but it was about a month before my wedding and i had to solidify the look. We spent a few hours just gabbing, and she was so fun to be around (very important for a vendor who is in your face for over an hour). Like another reviewer said, she is very bubbly and that kind of energy is infectious. And I was floored by how I looked after the trial. It was exactly what I wanted! I couldn't stop looking at myself!

On my wedding day, she was my star vendor. All my bridesmaids and both mothers had their makeup done and LOVED their looks, and all of them were drop dead gorgeous. I remember my best friend being wishy-washy about getting her makeup done, but after Samantha was finished with her, she was beaming from ear to ear. I've never seen her so glowy or more comfortable in her skin. Sam also did a subtle makeup look on my stepdaughter and I could tell how much she loved the look Samantha gave her.

What makes Samantha so great is that you can tell she loves her work, making women feel and look beautiful. She has a quiet charisma and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you sit down on her chair. She is not pretentious, annoying, or confusing to deal with. She was also efficient and open to ideas while making suggestions that were helpful and accurate. I wish I could carry her around with me in my pocket! I will definitely have Samantha do my makeup again. She is a...

Amazing...amazing...and AMAZING!!!!! I have had the best expiernce of my life and the pleasure of having Samantha do makeup for my wedding! I have never felt more beautiful. She is super talented, professional, and affordable. All my bridesmaids loved her and so did my mom and mother in-law. She is very attentive and listens to exactly what you want. She can go from extreme to very basic and does her best to give you exactly what you want and make you happy. I hope that the future will bring on another special event so that I can use her again! Can't say this enough...Samantha you are AMAZING!

I was recently married on March 31st 2012 and had the best experience I could have ever hoped for. I had the honor of hiring Sam as my makeup artist for my wedding party and can not say enough wonderful things about her. Sam has a gift- she's an incredible artist and can make any vision that you have a reality. Sam is a beautiful person- her down to earth personality and attention to detail is what makes her so special. Any bride out there should seriously stop looking now because you just found the best makeup artist ever- trust me, you won't be disappointed. :)

I was referred to Sam by a friend to do my makeup for my wedding... I was hesitant at first b/c I have gotten my makeup done a few times in the past and hated it b/c I felt like it didnt even look like me! So I was even debating on doing my own makeup for my wedding... but I called Sam and she came to my house to do a trial - and I LOVED it! She was very patient and accomodating to my requests. She listened to what I liked and didn't like and it looked amazing! The day of my wedding she came to my moms house and did my makeup, my moms, and all of my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their makeup and all the girls looked gorgeous. Sam really is talented and I would highly reccommend her for any occassion! The prices are very reasonable and the fact that she can come to you is really convenient. I am looking forward to the next function I have so that I can call her again! Thanks again Sam for making me beautiful on my wedding day! :-)

Sam was AMAZING! I am so glad that one of my co-workers told me about her! I contacted her less than a month before my wedding after having a horrible makeup trial at a salon, thankfully she was available. When I met Sam at my trial, she was so sweet, I felt so comfortable and she did an amazing job. I couldn't believe how well Sam worked the day of the wedding, she was like a machine, making each girl in my bridal party look stunning. I could not have felt more beautiful the day of my wedding, thanks to Skin Deep Makeup Design!

Sam is amazing! After terrible trials with other makeup artists I was in such a funk that I resigned myself to doing my own makeup for my big day, then I found Sam and Skin Deep Makeup Design. From the first time I saw her website I knew I had to have her do my makeup. After my trial Sam sat with me and explained everything in my contract and was happy to answer any questions I had and even after she left that day she always answered an email I sent promptly. On the day of my wedding Sam was on time and ready to go, she made me all of my girls look beautiful and answered any questions anyone had from what color eyeshadow would look best to explaining why she was using a certain product. Having Sam do our makeup felt more like having a girls night with my best friends than a hired vendor on my wedding day. My makeup was amazing and held up so well through the day even through tears and dancing, lots of dancing. I was so sad when I had to take my makeup off to go to sleep that ninth, I cannot wait to find another reason to have Sam do my makeup! I highly recommend her to any bride or any one who just wants to look and feel the most beautiful they can.

While searching for a makeup artist for my wedding, my hair stylist recommended Sam. I'd done trials with other artists but I left feeling like I was a Drag Queen. I also felt discouraged by the high prices I was being quoted. I knew I was going to go with Sam the minute I spoke with her. Sam's approach was refreshing. She was bubbly, kind, professional and personable. Although the expert, she didn't try to tell me what would make me feel beautiful. She made suggestions but made it clear that at the end of the day, the decision was ultimately mine to make. Sam's prices were beyond reasonable, especially for the quality of service she provides. As most do, the day of my wedding got away from me. Sam arrived on time and hung out as we tried to get back on schedule. Not once did she rush me or add to my anxiety about the lack of time we had. Sam's wedding was the week after mine and, as any bride knows, the week before the wedding is crunch time for to-do's. You'd never know that Sam had last minute ends she could be tying up rather than spending extra time in my hotel suite to accommodate my schedule. She did my MoH first and I could not stop staring at my friend of 25 years. She looked the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. Finally, it was my turn. We had little time to spare. As I sat, I called out favors to my bridal party as they helped me pack my bag to head over to the venue. Sam worked quickly and efficiently all while staying calm, keeping conversation going and making me laugh. On your wedding day, all eyes on are you. Thanks to Sam, I've never felt so beautiful and confident in all of my life. Can't wait for another event to link up with Sam again!

After a horrible makeup trial at a salon near my wedding venue, I was in the market for a makeup artist who could give me a natural, fresh look for my wedding day. I wanted to look like myself but also be ready for the professional photos.

I remembered seeing on Facebook that my friend Sam from high school was a professional makeup artist and had started her own business, Skin Deep. I checked out her portfolio and was really inspired. The brides all looked amazing, and it was clear that Sam understands how to work with all different skin types and colors.

Sam and I did a trial on the morning of my bridal shower, which also happened to be her birthday. She got there right on time and worked with me to come up with the perfect look. She asked about my dress and how I was going to do my hair and looked at pictures with me. She explained what would and wouldn't work. She did a flawless job. I got so many fantastic compliments from my shower guests.

Sam agreed to do my wedding despite it being just 2 weeks before her own wedding. On my wedding day, she showed up early after driving two hours. She was professional and organized but also really fun and relaxing. She did an amazing job. One wedding guest said my skin looked like porcelain, and my new husband couldn't believe how perfectly Sam had played up my best features without making it look like I was wearing a lot of makeup (he had seen the results of the first horrible trial). My makeup stayed fresh-looking all night, and the photos are all fabulous! I have never felt so beautiful.

Hiring Sam was one of the best decisions I made in my planning process. I would absolutely recommend her. She is reliable and always responsive. She has always been talented artistically, and it really shows in her makeup work. I knew I was in great hands. I am hoping another event comes up so I can hire...

I highly recommend Sam - she is the best!!! I mean that. My trial was amazing and the day of my wedding I never looked more beautiful. She has an amazing talent. My bridesmaids loved her too. When in doubt please pick Sam. I searched for months for the best make-up artist because everyone says you need airbrush - but I didn't want airbrush!! My makeup lasted the entire night and my lashes were on the next day even after sleeping in them...that is because I love them so much. I will definitely be using Skin Deep makeup again :) xo

Samantha is absolutely amazing. She was so helpful, so flexible and made me feel at ease and even though she was rushed (9 girls to do makeup on!) she not only did them all but they all came out looking FLAWLESS!!! People raved about my makeup all night long and it held up extremely well (my wedding was outside in the humidity and elements it it was still perfect by the time my wedding ended!). Worth every penny, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

SAM was so AMAZING...She did my makeup, my bridal party, and my family's makeup on my wedding day. Ages ranging from 20-75, styles were all different depending on the each individual. We had natural, smokey and very dramatic looks. She was very accomodating and made all of us look beautiful. She also did my cousin's wedding last year and would def recommend her. Thanks SAM :)

Sam is amazing!!! She did my mom, bridesmaid, and me for my wedding.
I looked absolutely amazing and highly recommend her. She is truly an artist and will make you look and feel beautiful!

Samantha did an amazing job on me and my bridal party for my wedding day. She was accommodating, professional, and super friendly. She did my make-up exactly how I wanted it and made me feel like a million bucks. My bridesmaids loved how I looked for my trial so much that they all decided to get their make-up done by Sam also. We had so many compliments on our make-up. Everyone said we looked beautiful but natural, which is what we all wanted. I HIGHLY recommend Samantha for any make-up needs. I will defiantly be using her again!

Sam was AMAZING! Not only is she extremely talented, but the kindest, most down to earth person you will ever meet. It was such a joy visiting with her as she did my makeup. She made me feel beautiful and so at ease on my wedding day.

On my wedding day, I wanted to the look like the best possible version of myself. In the extremely talented and artistic hands of Sam, I not only looked absolutely gorgeous, but the make-up lasted all day and through a LOT of happy tears. Sam outdid my wildest expectations of how make-up can make your skin as flawless as a movie star, without making you look like a different person. Sam did a trial run for me on the night of my bachelorette party, so I was able to look beautiful and feel confident that night as well! Sam also provided make-up services for my 3 bridesmaids the morning of my wedding, who were all extremely wowed by the results. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the services that Sam provided. She was very professional, affordable, personable, but most importantly…TALENTED! I would recommend her to everyone!

Sam was amazing. Very flexible and accommodating. The work she did was beautiful. She made me feel very relaxed on a very stressful day. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a makeup artist.

My wedding was the BEST day of my life and I have never felt so beautiful as I did that day and I owe it all to Sam. She is amazingly talented and so wonderful to work with. I had a very large bridal party of 10 girls, my mom and mother in law and Sam handled the whole event by herself in such a professional way. She really knows how to excentuate your beauty and everyone loved their makeup. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. I will with out a doubt use Sam again in the future. I highly reccomend her to anyone. Thanks again Sam, you are the BEST!!!!!

Sam is an amazing makeup artist. I first met her when I was a bridesmaid in my girlfriends wedding. After that I knew that I had to have her do the makeup for my wedding. It was flawless, I looked like a porcelain doll. She made it look so natural since I never wear makeup to begin with. I was so happy that I have now recommended her for my sisters wedding. I cant wait to have my makeup done again! You absolutely can not go wrong with Sam!

Sam was AMAZING - from the first time she came to my house for our consultation to my actual wedding day! She asked me tons of questions to make sure she knew what I wanted and gave me her thoughts on what would work best with my skin tone, dress and coloring. She not only took care of me and made sure my experience as the Bride was perfect, she made sure my bridal party and family who got their makeup done felt just as great. I'm so glad I got Sam and totally recommend her to any Bride!!!

Samantha did the make up for me, my Mom, my sisters, and best friend for my wedding and we looked and felt amazing! She makes you feel beautiful AND makes you look it! She listened to what each of us wanted and created different looks accordingly. I would HIGHLY recommend using her for any of your beauty needs!

Sam is absolutely amazing! She is a first class artist. I found her when i was getting my engagement photos done, and knew at that moment that she would be my makeup artist for life. Sam, did my makeup for my wedding. She also did my mom's makeup for the event. My mom has horrible dark circles under her eyes and nothing ever covers it up. Sam took care of that!! It last the whole night! My mom was so happy and looks stunning in the wedding photos. My my mom and my grandmom looked beautiful. My makeup was stunning. I still use Sam. I was currently on TV cause i am a professional singer, and at 545am she made me look phenomenal! If i go on tour she is coming with me, so you better book her while you can cause Sam is going places!!! She is professional, and easy to get along with. I recommend her to everyone.

Sam is hands down THE MOST talented makeup artist that I have ever come across. She is magical when it comes to creating various types of looks. She is prompt, honest and just a sweetheart! I enjoyed having her as part of my special day so much that I referred her to about 5 of my close girlfriends who were also getting married. Everyone has been very impressed with her work and work ethics that we all will continue to refer her to all our friends and family. Thanks Sam, you're the best!

Samantha Petty did a wonderful job on my make-up for my Wedding Day. She was professional and caring. She put on the make-up the way I wanted and it was flawless. Thank you!

Sam is an amazing makeup artist who I would recommend to anyone. She did makeup for my entire bridal party including my mother, who is very critical. My entire wedding party looked gorgeous! She was able to create a unique look for everyone according to each individual's style and comfort. I have recommended her to my friends and family who have booked her immediately.

Samantha Petty is one of the makeup artists that I frequently work with. She is always completely professional, on time, and her work is absolutely stunning! I have a very high standard for the makeup artists that work with me, and Sam is one of my highest promoted and requested artists. Her work is nothing short of flawless, and every bride we have worked on together has been thrilled with her work.
