    Hurricane-Proof Make-Up

    I absolutely loved my bridal make-up and can’t believe that it managed to last all day AND night during a HURRICANE. I had the fortune of getting married during hurricane lee and despite taking pre-wedding photos outside in the rain, my gorgeous make-up remained flawless well into the night.

    I love that About Face specializes in natural-looking make-up and uses many of the same products I use on a daily basis, free of harmful and harsh chemicals. My family and friends loved their make-up so much they were taking photos of and buying products on the spot.

    Linda also took great notes during my trial and I was so pleased that my day-of make-up looked exactly the same (I’ve seen some less than stellar matches on some of my friends). She was also able to create a look that went perfectly with my less-than-traditional wedding dress.

    My mom and I both had lash lifts done at About Face a week before the wedding as well, which I would definitely recommend if you prefer not to wear fake eyelashes. Not only did I avoid the annoying wedding tears with fake eyelashes and contact itching nonsense, but got to enjoy long, luscious lashes all throughout my honeymoon.

    Beautiful make up

    Lauren did the make up for myself and my bridesmaids and she did a perfect job! I have friends who wear a lot of make up and friends who typically don't wear any. Everyone looked like an elevated version of themselves and felt totally comfortable and beautiful in their make up. I am SO happy with the make up in all of the photographs! It also stayed in place for the entire evening. I looked exactly the same at 10pm as I did when she put it on in the afternoon.

    Excellent Experience With Linda

    Linda was such a joy to have at my mom's wedding! She did a beautiful job on everyone makeup - my mom's (the bride!), her good friend, my brother's girlfriend, and me! We all loved the natural look Linda achieved. We would 10/10 recommend About Face!

    Natural, long lasting makeup!

    At the last minute, just 3-4 weeks before our wedding, we contacted About Face and hoped and prayed they had our wedding date available. They were more than accommodating, and ended up sending Lauren to our bridal suite. As two brides who don’t usually wear much makeup we were both concerned about making sure we maintained a “natural” look, and Lauren did so well with that!! I felt like the most beautiful version of myself possible, and my wife said she felt the same!! The makeup lasted ALL NIGHT even through rain, dancing, and sweating!! It felt light and never looked over the top. This was the best possible last minute addition to our big day. Lauren was on time, courteous, efficient but never rushing, and easy to talk too! I loved her work and felt comfortable working with her from as an LGBT bride 🌈. Thank you Lauren for making this day SO perfect!! We are so happy you were there for us!!

    So easy to work with!

    Lauren from About Face was wonderful to work with. When I had to postpone our larger wedding due to the pandemic, she was responsive and flexible. She made me and my bridal party feel comfortable in achieving a natural look on the day of our celebration. Thank you Lauren!

    Natural Look - Loved it!

    My bridesmaids and I were so pleased with the makeup done by About Face. The application felt light and lasted all night long! More than anything, we wanted to look natural for the big day, and About Face 100% achieved that!

    This venue is now in Damariscotta rather than Boothbay Harbor, Me. They will travel to fit your needs! Linda did my wedding makeup and I've never felt more beautiful! Very affordable for trial session and day of.

    About Face did a fantastic job! They came to our wedding venue in Phippsburg, ME early and ready to go. The makeup looked so beautiful and natural and lasted all day. They were easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with. The bridal party and mothers loved their makeup (I of course did too). We had a team of 2 for 9 people, which was perfect. They finished ahead of schedule and made for a very smooth day. They also did fake eye-lashes that looked beautiful and natural. I cannot recommend their services enough!

    Lauren from About Face did my wedding day makeup, as well as my bridal party. She did an AMAZING job!! She was very professional, and patient with such a big group! I absolutely loved my makeup, it was exactly what I was hoping for (and even more). My bridesmaids were extremely impressed, and one was even trying to see if they would consider coming to Vermont to do her wedding makeup ; ) I can't thank About Face enough!!!

    Linda did a wonderful job on my wedding make-up! She was very easy to work with, and understood immediately the type of look I wanted. What a fabulous surprise find in such a small town!

    I loved how my make up was done. She was able to match exactly to how she did it during the trial.

    I am not someone who wears make up (at all) and Lauren did a great job respecting that I wanted a natural look. I am sure that she is able to do a more done-up look, but I loved what she did on me!
