I had a great time working with Elaine. I went in not knowing what I wanted, neutral-bright-shiny-dark?! Too many options. After our trial she took my comments seriously and helped me create a vision for the big day. On the day of we had a nice session as she made me feel confident and beautiful. Great all around! Definitely recommend.I had a great time working with Elaine. I went in not knowing what I wanted, neutral-bright-shiny-dark?! Too many options.

Elaine was every thing a professional should be. I had airbrush makeup down and my makeup was flawless and lasted all night, and was perfect for my skin tone. She was upfront about products used, and how my skin normally reacted. The only thing I had to reapply was lipstick, but that is normal with me always. I felt bad bc her helper was sick and canceled the morning of, but Elaine was a rock star and did her best to get all 8 bridesmaids and the bride done in time for pictures. Would definitely recommend!! Thank you for making me flawless on my best friends wedding day!!Elaine was every thing a professional should be.

It was a last minute decision to have my make-up done for my engagement pictures. I found Elaine on a whim, and was so happy I did. Elaine did a magnificent job on my make-up. I booked Elaine that same day for my wedding. Elaine did such a nice job on all of the ladies and moms for the wedding. Guests were complimenting the make-up! Elaine was patient, kind, flexible, and made everything work for the wedding. I enjoyed working with Elaine and would definitely in the future for different events. I would highly recommend Elaine for all bridal and non-bridal needs!!!!It was a last minute decision to have my make-up done for my engagement pictures.

I have known the team at Elaine Does Make Up for over 10 years now, and having watching this business grow from a vlog into a full fledged opportunities for on-site care has been wonderful! So lucky to have had Elaine prepare me for my engagement photos and big day! Everyone looked amazing, and the air brush was completely worth the upcharge! my makeup didn't move all day/night. And as you brides-to-be know, its a LONG day being a bride. <3 Highly highly recommend.I have known the team at Elaine Does Make Up for over 10 years now, and having watching this business grow from a vlog into a full fledged opportunities for on-site care has been wonderful!

Elaine was amazing. She listened to everything I wanted to do for my make up. I like a more natural look with make up and she did exactly that. She did such an amazing job and all of my bridesmaids were so happy with their make up too. She is also very nice and gave me a product to keep to help me with my make up in the future. I would highly recommend using Elaine for your wedding! I couldn't of been happier!Elaine was amazing. She listened to everything I wanted to do for my make up.

Elaine did my makeup and my friend's makeup for my wedding day. We were both extremely pleased with our makeup and received many compliments. She promptly arrived at our hotel on the morning of the wedding and was very efficient and prepared. We both wanted a natural look and she gave us exactly what we were looking for with makeup. I would definitely recommend her services for wedding makeup.Elaine did my makeup and my friend's makeup for my wedding day.

Elaine was by far the best person to do my makeup for my wedding. I did a lot of research in the NJ/NY area and she fit the fill on all my checkboxes (price, flexibility, responsiveness, professionalism, and comfort level). She really allows the bride to decide her own look and isn't pushy about using or sell products/higher priced services. She did all my bridal party makeup as well and they were all satisfied. I changed the meeting time on her a few times and she was a trooper through it all and was very flexible with everything. My makeup look had changed from the initial trial to the wedding day, but I wasn't worried about it not turning out right. Elaine sort of pulled out of me what I wanted and the day of makeup looked PERFECT. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Her prices were also SO reasonable compared to other makeup services in my area. It is a higher charge for MUA to travel to you but Elaine's prices were so reasonable especially when you are already shelling out so much money for your wedding. Thank you Elaine! You were wonderful to work with and I look forward to recommending you and working with you again.Elaine was by far the best person to do my makeup for my wedding.

Elaine was amazing!! From my makeup trials to my big day, I could not have asked for a better makeup artist! She was kind, professional, responsive, but most of all, excellent at her job!!

Elaine did such a wonderful job on not only me, the bride, but my entire Bridal Party. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! She was responsive and flexible to all of the bridesmaids and incredibly professional. My mother in law who hates wearing make up, felt comfortable and natural and was so grateful for Elaine! I couldn't have been happier with her work and would recommend her to anyone getting married!Elaine did such a wonderful job on not only me, the bride, but my entire Bridal Party.

She didnt keep us waiting at all. She was very sweet. But there was barely any coverage. Eyeliner was not noticeable and the black was faded and undefined. The eye makeup was very messy. I could have done a better job doing it myself for free. Sorry not sorry.She didnt keep us waiting at all. She was very sweet. But there was barely any coverage.

I'm sorry Alexandra that you feel this way. My 2nd artist was ill that morning and I had a commitment to finish on time for your group pictures. Under different circumstances of doing an entire bridal party of 11 ladies to myself, I believe the outcome of your makeup would have been different. All the best to you. -
