    Alison made me feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Setting up my make up trial was easy and she made me feel so comfortable doing it. My bridemaida and mom also got their make up done and looked flawless! Highly recommend Alison!!

    I first heard of Alison through a recommendation from my hairdresser. She had worked a few weddings with Alison. After doing some research on her site she sounded like just what I needed. I was looking for someone who would be able to travel to the hotel to do makeup for me and my wedding party for an 11:30 am wedding. Alison was available with what felt like short notice and so professional that I was looking forward to working with her! Her package includes a trial session beforehand to see what you are looking for and what your wedding day look will be. On the day of the wedding she met us downtown at the hotel at 6 am to get started and she did an incredible job with both me and all of my girls! Everyone looked and felt amazing. She uses a variety of make up brands so you are sure to find what looks just right for you. I would definitely recommend Alison for a flawless makeup application that lasts through the whole day and night!

    Bride's if you are looking for a look that is natural and absolutely stunning on your wedding day then you can stop looking because Alison is your answer. She did such an amazing job on me and all of my bridesmaids that we were getting complements all night long. She is very professional but also, very easy to work with.

    My fiancé was very nervous about me getting my makeup professionally done for our wedding because I do not typically wear much makeup and he did not want to have makeup caked on my face so he couldn't even recognize me. However, when he saw me for the first time, he couldn't believe how natural my makeup looked. He loved it!

    She also offers a wide range of services so your bridesmaids can decide how much or how little of their makeup they want professionally done. Trust me though, you will not be disappointed with her. Her style is naturally beautiful but she does it in a way that is STUNNING. She is AMAZING!

    Alison was wonderful to work with! I had a trial about 2 months before and she did everything including lashes and wrote down all the products used. On the day of the wedding, she met us at the hotel and was early to set up. My girls and I had airbrush makeup and it lasted all day and night even after dancing and being outside! Our ceremony was outside and it also sprinkled a little before during pictures and my makeup wasn't touched. I had so many compliments on how blue eyes were and how great my makeup looked. I recommend Alison to any bride :)

    Alison did an amazing job on all of my girls. The makeup was very natural & elegant. She made my bridesmaids and moms gorgeous. My mom had fallen the week of the wedding and really bruised/cut up her face; Alison was able to cover everything up and make sure my mom looked great and also lifted her confidence the day of the wedding.

    Alison did mine as well as the wedding party's makeup for our wedding this past April. Alison was great to work with throughout the entire planning process, quick to respond to emails and great at answering all questions promptly. I loved that a trial was included in the price for the makeup and I liked that both airbrush and false lashes with part of the trial (as I had never done either before). Alison was great about asking my preference on makeup colors, intensity, etc however also uses her judgement to highlight your features. All my girls and I loved our makeup and it really did last the entire day. Even my Mom, who does not wear much makeup, loved what Alison did for her. I felt beautiful and the makeup showed up wonderfully in pictures. Alison even squeezed in my Grandma the morning of because she wanted her makeup done as well. She was great at keeping everything on the time the morning of and brings everything she needs to get the job done. Highly recommend!

    Alison did my airbrush trial and application for my wedding. I felt like she did such a great job in making me look flawless and yet natural. My make-up stayed perfect all day long and I absolutely loved my lashes. The airbrushing didn't even feel like I had any make up on. On top of the excellent work, Alison herself is such a nice person. She makes you feel comfortable and confident. She is totally worth every penny.

    Alison is so sweet and so talented! My makeup lasted all day and night and it was a hot 91 degrees! Alison is worth every penny and is just so amazing. Go airbrush, you won't regret it!

    Working with Alison was really great. I chose to do airbrushed makeup and I don't regret it! At the trial, I got to see exactly how it would come all together. I have really stubborn "allergic shiners" under my eyes (dark circles!) and she made them disappear! I rarely wear anything on my lips, so when I showed my parents and fiance after the trial, their only comment was that the lips were slightly too dark. I emailed Alison asking if we could do something lighter, and she brought the perfect gloss shade the day of the wedding. The makeup lasted throughout the evening, even though I had an outdoor summer wedding AND we got caught in the rain. I would definitely recommend Alison for your wedding.

    Alison was great to work with! At my makeup trial, she made sure it was exactly what I envisioned. She was willing to add/remove as much as I wanted. On the day of, she traveled to us at 6am and she timed it perfectly to get all of the girls done in time and recreated what she did in the trial exactly how I wanted it. I did the airbrush since my wedding was in June and I was nervous I would be hot and sweaty. I never had to reapply any makeup all day. I had some powder, oil blotters, mascara, etc but never once had to use any of it. At the end of the night my makeup looked as fresh as ever. The eyelashes even stayed on throughout most of our honeymoon! Alison did a wonderful job!

    Alison did a wonderful job on my makeup! She came to my hair stylist's salon and did a full makeup application (airbrush and false eyelashes). Alison did a trial run before the wedding in case we could make adjustments. I loved the final "product"--I looked like me, just more polished. As someone with skin on the oily side, I was thrilled that the makeup stayed on throughout the day and night and looked as fresh as it did when it was first applied. It was such a relief not to worry about how my makeup looked during such an important, busy day! I highly recommend Alison's work.

    Alison did a wonderful job on my makeup for my wedding. She was so flexible with planning the trial run since I live out of town. I had airbrush done for my wedding day and not only did it look beautiful, it lasted through all the dancing. None of that awful melt! She did a fantastic job and I couldnt have been more pleased.

    Working with Alison on my wedding day was a pleasure. She not only made us all look beautiful, but she was also kind, fun and easy to talk to. I had airbrush makeup and my bridesmaids had traditional makeup, but everyone looked beautiful from 10am when we started primping until midnight at the end of the wedding.

    Alison did a wonderful job on my wedding makeup. She was on time (early actually), super nice, and really listens to you when you tell her what look you are going for. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends.

    I absolutely LOVED working with Alison. She was fabulous to work with throughout the ENTIRE wedding process. She responded very quickly to all of my emails, and always answered my questions fully even if it was an opinion of a nearby hotel, or our venue. She takes her job very seriously and you can tell she loves what she does. She is sweet, highly organized, flexible, punctual, friendly, and so much more. She even made a schedule for the timeline the day of. She was able to do my trial and a trial for my MOH and my FMIL. She also was able to schedule me for a second trial to try a different eye shadow because I changed my mind after the first trial. She did makeup for 6 bridesmaids, myself, and my FMIL the day of our wedding. She even covered my tattoo and it didn't smudge all night and the makeup didn't get on my dress. Everyone looked amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing makeup done for any reason.

    Alison was AMAZING!!!! She was very sweet and professional. It was more like having a good friend do your makeup than a stranger. The trial was very educational for me as I don't wear much makeup on a normal basis. She answered all my questions and didn't make me feel silly for asking them. She traveled to me the day of my wedding and applied my makeup in the exact time she had given me. The makeup was amazing. The airbrush is a must for any bride!!! It lasted all day (12 hours), through a very hot outdoor ceremony, several tears, lots of hugs & kisses, and dancing like a maniac for 4 straight hours. Her pricing was the best I found anywhere in Columbus and the surounding area. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone!

    Alison did an amazing job on the makeup for my wedding. She customized my look based on the trial and it looks fabulous in the photos. I didn't feel like I had tons of makeup on and she made me looks just like myself only better! Alison was very relaxed and made the process very relaxed and quickly. I'm hoping I can see her again next time I need my make up done.

    Alison did an amazing job! Our wedding was outside in the summer heat and I felt like all of my bridesmaids and myself included looked just as good towards the end of the evening vs. when she left! Great service, easy to work with and she does an amazing job! I highly recommend her services!

    Alison does an amazing job. I have had my makeup done by other people in the past and never has it looked this spectacular. She truly is a very gifted makeup artist. I liked the way she gave you many options of wether you wanted lashes or no lashes, regular makeup application or the airbrush. She doesn't make you look like someone else, she makes you look like yourself and highlights your best qualities. We did a test run in which she makes notes so that on the wedding day she isn't trying to remember what you liked and what you didn't like. She is punctual and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend her to everyone. She is worth every penny!

    Alison did a terrific job on everyone in my wedding party from the flower girl, to the bridesmaids, the mothers and myself! She did a traditional makeup application on everyone but myself, where she did the airbrush... and it is oh so light! What a amazing job and she was right on time and finished with time to spare after coming to my location to do it all!!!

    I can not say enough great things about my experience working with Alison Feamster. I really wanted to find a traveling makeup artist who would be able to do makeup for myself and my bridal party for my November wedding...as soon as I met with her I knew that I had found the perfect person!! She and I met over the summer for a trial and she took the time to discuss with me the look I wanted to achieve and my expectations were far exceeded. I also have a birthmark on my face that I was worried about her covering...she made me extremely comfortable and was willing to go above and beyond until I was 100% happy with it. On the day of the wedding, she was fantastic! She was prompt and professional, kept all the girls moving so we could stay on schedule, and had a great time with us. Her quality of work is outstanding...she only uses products that she is confident in and has used herself. Likewise, she is great about giving you tips on how to improve your own makeup application in your everday wear. Myself, my mom and my bridesmaids all looked so gorgeous thanks to her...and our look lasted all day! I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again if I ever have another occasion to!
    THANK YOU ALISON! :-)

    Alison was a joy to work with! She is punctual, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. As a professional, she will listen to what your needs are and make suggestions as to what may suit you best. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asked, and have her on speed dial if I ever need her services again!
