100% recommend Gina. She is not only super positive and bubbly, making you feel so excited from the first email to the trial to the day of, but she is so talented. I gave her a rough idea of what I wanted, and she completely nailed it on the head at the trial. On the day of, we had some little tweaks and she was so helpful and easy making sure I felt beautiful, while still looking like me. Her team was also amazing and my girls, mom & MIL absolutely loved their makeup. Truly the best & so talented!! -

Gina is simply the best! I don’t like that caked on makeup look, and Gina made me look flawless- her work speaks for herself truly. She’s the sweetest & you NEED her on your wedding day! I can’t recommend her enough! -

Gina is absolutely incredible; I can't say enough positive things about her! We are a far drive from one another, and it was most definitely worth it. A few weeks prior to my wedding day I had a last-minute timeline change, and Gina worked with me to create a new schedule and get everyone done in time. From the moment we met for my trial she was so friendly and personable that I felt instantly comfortable. At my trial she went so above and beyond with my vision that I did not need to change a thing. I was hesitant because I wanted full glam but still wanted to look like me and Gina was spot on. On my wedding day it looked even better, which I did not think was possible! On my wedding morning she showed up early and hyped me up the entire time. She was the most perfect energetic energy to get ready with and truly so much fun to be around. Gina is so professional and talented with makeup. She made me feel like a princess and I could not have asked for more beautiful makeup. I had expressed my concerns to her about my tears potentially ruining my makeup. I cried happy tears throughout the entire day and my makeup was still just as perfect all day until I washed it off late that night. I just placed an order to buy some of her adorable merch too. Look no further, Gina is your girl! -

Gina is so talented!
Gina was a true godsend! She truly made all of my wedding glam a reality and was absolutely amazing to work with! Gina was the first vendor I booked after setting a date because she is so incredibly talented. She truly made me look and feel beautiful! My bridesmaids also were in awe of their makeup! Thank you Gina for being the best makeup artist out there! -

Amazing Experience for Wedding Day
Gina was the absolute best for my wedding day! From going to my trial at her home to bright an early on the big day she was so professional and kind and made all my girls feel comfortable. I asked for an Alix Earle look and she killed it! I am also picky about long rows of lashes, and she used her own individual lashed that looked so natural! All of my girls loved their makeup and lasted all night! Another plus, shes a dog person and let my dog sit on my lap for a part of my makeup! Book Gina she is the best!!! -

The absolute best!
Gina was the absolute best, she has now done my makeup several times and each time it only got better! I had a huge wedding party of 16+ girls and When I miss calculated and had to add another girl Gina did not hesitate and immediately changed the schedule and put me at ease. I decided to do a completely different makeup idea the day of and Gina absolutely killed it. Gina is not only one of the best artists but truly one of the sweetest most genuine human beings. One thing I looked for my wedding was having all my vendors feel like friends and family and Gina has became apart of mine. Gina thank you for all of your hard work and making my day so magical! -

Gina and her team did mine and my bridal party’s wedding back on October 21, 2022 (I’m super late writing this) and she was AMAZING!! I was obsessed with my look and so were all of the girls!! My mom who doesn’t wear a ton of makeup was nervous about a super glam look and Gina made sure to do a makeup style that she loved and felt comfortable with! I cried throughout my entire first look and the makeup didn’t even budge! Seriously a miracle! My photographer also complimented the way the makeup photographed and said it was basically her dream come true because she wouldn’t have to edit out any shininess or harsh colors. Gina also had such a great energy and will add a sense of ease to your wedding day. My biggest fear was having hair/ makeup run late, but Gina and her team finished all my girls with touch ups and everything in the perfect amount of time! My future sister in law booked her for her June 2024 wedding! I can’t say enough good things about her! Thank you Gina for being the perfect addition to my wedding day!! You will not regret booking her! -

If you don't use Gina to do your makeup on your wedding day, you are seriously missing out! Gina is the kindest and most down to earth MUA. I, along with all of my bridal party, loved their makeup and it lasted amazing all day! I wish she could do my makeup everyday! -

Gina is absolutely incredible at what she does and I’m so happy I found her. Not only is she extremely talented, she’s also super nice and affordable. If you’ve ever gotten your makeup done for a wedding you know how rare it is for everyone to LIKE it…. But Gina made myself, 2 moms, and 6 bridesmaids all feel absolutely stunning! Everyone loved their makeup and it literally lasted all night. So many people have asked for her contact info since the wedding. My mom (who didn’t want anything heavy and was worried about her sensitive skin) had no issues and liked her false lashes so much she literally kept them on until the next night. I highly recommend Gina: she was incredible to work with, always really helpful over email, and got all of our makeup done in really quick timing. -

Gina Ritacco is a MUST have!
Gina and her team are truly incredible! My best friend and I both booked Gina for our weddings and we couldn't be happier. All of our bridesmaids and friends who have had the pleasure of having Gina work her magic have made it clear that they will all only use Gina for their big day as well. Gina is a sweetheart and professionally adapts to everybody's makeup preference from mega glam to natural making everyone feel beautiful in their own skin. She does what works for you and listens to what your vision is and makes it clear that she wants to make you feel as beautiful as you can. Most of all, all of our makeup lasted the ENTIRE day and night, even after a night filled with dancing and the uncooperative weather. Thank you, Gina, and look no further brides! -

Gina is such a sweetheart and so professional from your trial through your wedding day! I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup and wound up having 2 trials because I was so uncertain. She is so knowledgeable about her craft and was able to give great recommendations to achieve the look I was going for. On the wedding day, she was early, prepared and ran on schedule. My eye make-up and lashes stayed so well that I wore to breakfast the next day! I highly recommend her! -

Gina was absolutely amazing!!! My makeup was flawless and lasted the whole night. She can seriously create whatever perfect look you are going for. My bridesmaids looked spectacular and she worked with each of the girls individually to meet their specific requests/needs/complexion. She is always incredibly professional and gets back to you right away. Her bubbly personality and unmatched makeup artistry are EXACTLY what you need for your big day. Please do not look any further and reach out to book her NOW!!! -

Gina, you are simply THEE BEST.
Gina is a GEM. The sweetest, most beautiful person inside and out. She is SO talented and made me the most beautiful bride in the world. I did an initial trial & my bridal shower makeup with her and she killed it every time. My day of makeup lasted all day (7am-1am) not a crease or smudge or a loose lash. She listens to what you want & delivers. Her work is flawless!! Her pricing is phenomenal and her work ethic is on point. To add to her perfection, she has her own beauty line - Velvet Pout Co. RUNNNN AND FOLLOW ON INSTA. Her lashes are top notch, and every lip color is FIRE. Recommend her to the moon and back! Thank you so so so much. -

Samantha N. Sent on 05/02/2021Gina is SO talented and the nicest person you will ever meet!
I reached out to Gina when our wedding was postponed and my original makeup artist was not available. I AM SO GLAD I DID! Gina is the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. She is so knowledgeable and truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet! The booking process was so simple and her prices are very reasonable. At my trial, she took my vision and exceeded my expectations! When I noticed that my straight lashes hadn't taken to the mascara and there was a distance between my lashes and the fake ones, she made sure to curl them so it didn't happen on that day. I am also a crier and the makeup didn't move ALL night. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and so did my mom and mother in law. If you're considering reaching out to Gina, DO IT! -

Natural Glam!
Gina is amazing!! She was responsive and professional with all of my questions leading up to both my trial and wedding day. She was able to take my vision and make it a reality and the perfect look for my wedding. I typically don’t wear makeup often and she was able to provide this level of natural glam that I didn’t know even existed! All my girls loved their makeup and we received so many compliments! It stayed all night and I truly never felt so beautiful and loved my makeup so much. Don’t hesitate to book Gina, she’s so talented! -

The best ever!
Gina is amazing! I was tired of other trials with vendors not looking how I envisioned so I went into my first trial with Gina saying "just do what you think will look best on me" and she did just that! It came out exactly how I pictured and ended up being my makeup for my wedding day. She was so kind and responsive. All my bridesmaids raved about their makeup as well. Our makeup stayed on ALL night and into the next morning. Don't hesitate to book! -

Gina is a doll and I’m considering paying her to just be my real life friend! She did my makeup for a friend’s wedding in 2016 and it was the first time I actually liked how my makeup turned out professionally so when I got engaged two years later, I knew I had to have her again. I had two trials for my wedding day makeup and both times I left feeling amazing but couldn’t put my finger on what felt like it was missing so I communicated all my little comments to Gina and day of she took all my feedback and made me look PERFECT! Such a rockstar. There was nothing for me to secretly touch up or tweak! She knocked out my 5 bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law with plenty of time to spare and they all looked gorgeous. Her prices are SO reasonable for NJ and worth every single penny! -

Gina is an absolute DREAM to work with! Just from our initial conversations 2 YEARS before I even had my trial I knew I made the right choice in booking her! And so glad I did as 10/10/20 was a VERY popular date. As a girl who normally wears little to no makeup I was very hesitant during my trial wanting very basic makeup and she made me feel secure every step of the way getting me out of my comfort zone , ending at our wedding day when I decided to add even more glam than we initially talked about which I never thought I’d do. She made me look good without making me look like a plastic doll which I feel many other artists do. My bridal party was obsessed with their looks and even asked for her info for the future. I will 100% book Gina again for my next event!!! Thank you so much for everything !!!
Also ——- as a bride who forgot to remove their makeup that night I woke up the next day and literally till 5pm the next night -literally over 24+ hours later - my makeup still SLAYED. That’s how you know you made the right choice !!! -

My girl Gina!!!! I could not imagine getting married without her being a part of my glam squad! Gina slays every face she touches! I have used Gina for multiple events before and I honestly have NEVER been disappointed. She takes the time to truly LISTEN to what you want for your makeup. She is open to discussion if you want something changed...and most importantly, she does what YOU want...where I feel like most makeup artists listen to you but do what they think is best. Her overall goal is to make you smile from ear to ear when you see your face when she's done. She also is organized and adheres to her schedule!!! My makeup did not move from the second she put it on until I washed it off before I went to bed on my wedding night. Through the tears, sweat, and the commotion of the day; it was set! Gina has the most poised personality that is so helpful to be near the morning of your wedding. When nerves are high, she is there with that calming presence creating the next Mona Lisa. Gina also was always there to answer any questions that I had for her and provide reassurance. Don't miss out on her because you WILL regret it. Thank you Gina for making my makeup and the girls everything we could have imagined and more! You are the real MVP! xo -

Best make up artist ever
Gina is hands down the best make up artist EVER! She is also SO sweet, funny, laid back, and not to mention, prompt and professional. How lucky was I to get to hang out with her two days in a row? Gina did my wedding make up trial the night of my rehearsal dinner. I told her I wanted an “enhanced natural look” and let her just do her thing. She absolutely KILLED it. I did not want to take my perfect make up off at the end of the night, but Gina said she would replicate the exact look the next morning and she did. I have never felt more beautiful in my whole life than I did on my wedding day and Gina played a huge part in that. She also made my already gorgeous Mom and bridesmaids even more gorgeous. Everyone looked absolutely FLAWLESS. I seriously wish I could hire Gina to do my make up every day! I will 100% recommend Gina to anyone and everyone I know. -
