LJ is the best!

I did a virtual makeup class with LJ prior to my wedding, and it was worth every penny! This spring we cancelled our big wedding due to COVID and decided to elope with our immediate families. I was feeling really nervous about having my photo taken all day without the confidence boost of professional makeup, especially since I was NOT good at makeup. I really needed the lessons! LJ met with me for about half an hour on Zoom to go over what I wanted to look like and what I already had in my makeup bag (literally nothing except one eyeliner and some expired mascara LOL). Next, she sent me a custom list of specific products/colors that fit what I needed. Then we spent an hour together on Zoom learning how to use each product. Getting the feedback in real time about my technique was so much better than learning on YouTube! After our lesson, she sent me a video recording of the whole lesson, which I watched while I got ready on the day of my wedding. My photographer thought my makeup had been professionally applied!! I'm glad I did things this way- now I have makeup that works for my skin, and I know how to use it for other events in the future. On top of how helpful she was, I also want to emphasize how warm, kind, and funny LJ is. I totally recommend the virtual lesson to any brides who need pointers but are concerned about social distancing. Thank you, LJ!!

Flawless Makeup

Embrace Makeup Artistry was amazing. My makeup was flawless. LJ was so great to work with. She is professional, responsive, and so knowledgeable. I do not tend to wear makeup and she far exceeded my expectations and vision of a natural look on my wedding day. My bridesmaid's makeup was just as amazing.
