Jen did my make up for my wedding which was a daytime picnic in central park. I can't rave enough about her . My make up was PERFECT! I felt beautiful all day and received so many compliments. She really listened to what I wanted and gave her honest opinions. We just got the pics back from the photographer and I couldn't be happier with how my make up looked ! Thanks Jen !!

Jen is an incredibly talented makeup artist and also the best person to have by your side as you get ready for your events. My favorite experience with Jen was the morning of my book launch when she came to home at 8 AM to help me get ready.

Jen made my morning! I not only looked gorgeous as she highlighted my features, but I had fun with her. It was the perfect way to start my day. My makeup lasted for the entire event and beyond. I used her flushed yoga glow product the next morning too. I loved the way it made my skin look.

Thank you Jen!

I took my 13 year old in for make up instruction from Jen and she was just what we both needed! Not only is Jen an amazing makeup artist and teacher she is also an amazing human! She was positive and helped teach my daughter that makeup isn’t what makes you beautiful, that comes from within, her words are powerful, positive and encouraging and just what every teenager needs to hear. She is a fantastic makeup artist and teacher, she went over skin care and make up routines and taught my daughter everything she needs to do her own natural, age appropriate makeup. She also taught her some fun extra things she can do with her makeup for fun special occasions, which was really fun for my daughter. Jen was the perfect match for us. She even made a couple of recordings of the routines and steps to my daughter’s new makeup routine so she can refer back to her lesson, which has been so helpful. She encouraged my daughter to reach out to her anytime she had a question or if she needed any help, which was so amazing that she is invested in making sure my daughter continues to have the knowledge and tools she needs even after our visit, she truly is amazing! My daughter left looking amazing with the makeup techniques and routines that Jen taught her and she has been having so much fun doing it at home, she now loves doing her makeup and feels like she has the tools to do it and look her best because of Jen’s help.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jen and her artistry! Jen did the makeup for me and my two teenage daughters for my younger daughter’s bat mitzvah and not only is she kind and warm, but she also “gets it” and made us look special but not “overdone”! She even gave us pointers about how to take care of our skin (and my girls listened!) So many of our friends and family commented about how terrific we all looked! I highly recommend Jen and look forward to using her for another special occasion!

Jen is so incredibly talented, friendly, and easy to work with. She teaches her clients to look and feel beautiful while looking like themselves -- not someone else! I have loved working with her and recommend her highly to anyone looking for makeup services or to learn how to do their makeup.

Jen is the BEST. She did my make-up for my son’s Bar Mitzvah photo shoot. My make-up came out gorgeous. It looked spectacular in person and absolutely beautiful in the photos. It lasted all day and for the first time ever I was sad to wash my make-up off that night. Jen is an amazing make-up artist and incredibly talented. She is very professional, but also kind and a ton of fun to spend the morning with. I can’t wait to use her services again. I have recommended Jen to everyone and will continue. Thank you, Jen!

My daughter recently had a skincare and makeup class with Jen and it was the most incredible experience from start to finish. Her communication is outstanding. Prior to scheduling the appointment we had a video meeting so that she could introduce herself, tell me about the variety of classes she offers and to get a better understanding about what my daughter and I were hoping to get from the classes. Once the appointment was scheduled, we continued to communicate over text and email. After the appointment she followed up a few times to see how things were going with my daughter’s skincare and makeup routine and offered to answer any questions that she may have.

My teenaged daughter found the skincare and makeup classes to be extremely beneficial. She was educated about products (what to use and what to stay away from), the importance of having a good skincare routine and how to apply makeup. Jen even made her an instructional video to save and reference when needed in the future. One thing that really stood out to me was that Jen taught my daughter the importance of embracing her natural beauty by using makeup to enhance and highlight her favorite features and to never use makeup as a mask to hide her true self. Words to live by! My daughter left the classes feeling confident, empowered, knowledgeable and looking and feeling absolutely beautiful!

Jen is incredibly talented, professional, and knowledgeable. She is also very personable and has an amazing personality to go along with her outstanding work. I highly recommend Jen for all of your makeup and skincare needs. In my opinion, her classes are a must for tweens and teens. I should mention that she has her own makeup and skincare line as well, and once you use it, you will never want to use anything else.

Jen is incredible and knows exactly how to do my make up so it looks natural but exceptional. From headshot professional photos to family events she nails it every time. Jen also is a joy to work with you can feel her positive energy which for me always lends to a great day! Highly recommend!!
