    Forever my favorite makeup artist

    I’ve never left a makeup chair without thinking that I should’ve just done my own makeup until I met Jennifer. I wish for every future event, my makeup could be done by her! The way she understands how to bring out your natural beauty is something I value so much and am so grateful for. She made me feel so comfortable starting at the trial with actually being able to communicate in a manor that didn’t feel pressurized because she truly wants you to love how you look after. And that’s exactly what happened. I’ve never felt more myself, more beautiful and elevated than I did on my wedding day. Like the title says, forever my favorite makeup artist!!

    Book Jennifer - so talented!

    Jennifer is just incredible! Absolutely book her if you can. Jennifer did makeup for both my sister's wedding and my wedding. After my sister's, we knew that we needed to book her for mine too! As someone who does not wear makeup on a daily basis, it was very important to me that I still looked like my natural self. And Jennifer does just that! For the two weddings I've been a part of with Jennifer, she has done just a fabulous job with every single person. She also makes the process very easy and is a pleasure to be around!

    Amazing, a no-brainer

    I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist during my wedding weekend! Jennifer is extremely kind, professional, and amazing at what she does. She made all of us (different ages, skin types, styles) feel our best both Friday & Saturday nights. Everyone's makeup was unique, flawless and lasted all night. Choosing vendors can difficult but going with Jennifer is an absolute no-brainer.

    Beautiful!

    Jennifer is fantastic! I am not a huge makeup wearer, and she made me feel so comfortable. She listened to everything I had to say during my trial and we were able to try out a few different looks. She was so responsive via email and open to changes even up to the day of my wedding. She made me feel so beautiful and my makeup lasted all night, even with some heavy dancing! Thank you Jennifer for everything!

    Fantastic makeup artist!!

    Jennifer is an amazing makeup artist!! She worked her magic on a 90+ degree day for my wedding in August and made everyone look absolutely flawless with their makeup lasting the entire day and night. I love how she does more of a natural enhancement so I still looked like myself. I have never felt more beautiful, thanks to Jennifer! She was so pleasant to work with from the moment I hired her, and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed during my trial and on my wedding day. I highly recommend Jennifer if you are looking for natural, flawless, glowing makeup for your wedding or special event!

    VT brides: Hire Jennifer!

    Jennifer is incredible. From our first email exchanges, I felt extremely comfortable chatting with Jennifer. Her portfolio is stunning, and her calm, professional demeanor on the wedding day was so wonderful to be around. She did makeup for me plus six others, and it all lasted beautifully in 90-degree hot summer weather. She was extremely receptive to my feedback when I wanted more or less of something, and she made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone!

    Stunning Makeup

    I am so happy with my decision to work with Jennifer for my wedding weekend. She is incredibly talented, a true professional, and chatting with her in her chair is a delight. It was humid and downpoured on my wedding day and my makeup withstood a photoshoot in the elements, many happy tears and dancing the night away. I cannot recommend her more highly!

    Jennifer is the best there is!!!

    Jennifer is the most top-notch makeup artist and overall human. From the moment I emailed her - I knew she was incredible. She has such an attention to detail, precision, warmth and empathy, and is an incredibly talented artist. She listens and is incredibly in tune with the brides wants. My makeup looked absolutely incredible the day of my wedding - and stayed on all night despite humidity and lots of sweat from dancing. Every guest I saw at the wedding commented on the beauty of my makeup: how it was perfectly natural and accentuated all of my best features. Jen created the vision I so desperately wanted for my day and for my bridesmaids. She was able to squeeze in my entire wedding party as well. I've never met a more talented, communicative, warm professional. I now consider her a friend. Thanks for everything, Jen. We love you!

    Jennifer is amazingly talented, hire her!!

    Jennifer is the absolute best!! She's so professional and talented. She understood exactly what I was going for, which was a barebones natural look with a hint of whimsy. I by no means understand or know anything about makeup, so it was really important to me to find someone who knew how to make me look beautiful without looking too made-up. Jennifer is that person!! She also did an amazing job with all of my bridesmaids who all have different skin tones and facial structures. They all looked so radiant and loved their make up. Jennifer is the person you want for your wedding because of her work and her knowledge of the overall wedding process. She was right on time and was a great hype woman for me and all my bridesmaids as well as a calming presence. Jennifer is the absolute best choice!!!

    August 2021 Wedding with Jennifer

    Jennifer is an amazing make up artist - she is incredibly professional and skilled at her job. I actually hired another make up artist and parted ways after a disaster trial, and was so lucky Jennifer was open on our wedding date. She was worth every penny! I appreciated her expertise in helping me choose the perfect wedding look and she listened to all of my bridesmaids in their requests for natural looks as well. I highly recommend Jennifer!

    Simply the best!

    Jennifer was professional, extraordinarily talented, kind, and perfect for our group. I missed our run though, and Jennifer assured me she would nail it on my wedding day, and she did. She gave me the perfect understated classic look that will be forever timeless. Hire her! There is no one better if you want to love your wedding pictures forever.

    Felt like a movie star!

    Jennifer was fantastic to work with for my wedding this past Summer. My makeup looked natural and stayed put from getting ready in the morning until way after the party was over the next morning! She is so kind, and such a great energy to have around on the morning of the wedding when nerves are running high. Everyone’s makeup looked fantastic, and she kept all of the bridesmaids/flower girls/ mothers looking like themselves with the makeup still reflecting their individual personalities. I’ve struggled with combination skin and acne, and all that I wanted on my wedding day was to have perfect looking skin. A few days before I broke out with a pretty large blemish, and on my wedding day you couldn’t even tell it was there with Jennifer’s wonderful makeup! I don’t wear makeup on a normal basis (I’ll take extra sleep over getting ready), so I was concerned about having a look that my future husband wouldn’t recognize while still wanting to feel special and that I had makeup on for the big day. Jennifer followed my direction perfectly and I’m so happy with how the final look came out! I am so grateful that we were able to have Jennifer there for our wedding day!

    BEST makeup artist!

    Hire Jennifer!! We needed makeup for 9 bridesmaids, my and my husband's mothers, and myself on my wedding day (12 total), and the afternoon ceremony dictated everyone needed to be done by 12:30pm. Jennifer assured us she could handle them all - not only did she run the entire morning ahead of schedule, but everyone looked and felt absolutely stunning. I knew I was in good hands after my trial, when we walked through every step together to create the perfect look that made me feel beautiful. I could not have been more thrilled on my wedding day. Thank you Jennifer!

    Thank you Jennifer!

    I will start by saying that I am a make-up girl! I wear make-up everyday, and I have a pretty large make-up collection, so I am well versed in applying my own make-up. However for my wedding day, I didn’t want to be the one applying my own make-up as I knew I would be stressed and I also wanted to be pampered! So I found Jennifer through reviews and could not have been happier about my decision. I think she was a little worried at first about doing my make-up since I am so into doing my own, but we worked together so well during my trial and came up with a look that we both loved. We used both some of my products and some of hers, which I really appreciated incorporating some of my favorite products from my own collection that I knew worked for me so well. When the wedding day came, she was fast and professional, having me, five bridesmaids, two moms, and my sister in law to do. We finished quicker than she had budgeted for! She takes a picture of your makeup at your trial and makes notes of what she used, so she had my look down and knew exactly what she was doing the day of and my makeup was locked down all day and night, even though we got a little rain during my first look. One of my bridesmaids had a moment during her makeup due to some personal insecurities she is dealing with, and Jennifer handled the situation very professionally. All of my bridesmaids looked beautiful and Jennifer was able to come up with a look that fit each of them, as I did not have a specific look in mind for the girls, outside of no bold lipsticks. She was able to do minimal but beautiful makeup for the girls who didn’t wear much on a regular basis, and went more full face for the girls who are used to wearing makeup on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

    Jennifer was awesome! I chose her because of photos and reviews about how natural her makeup looks and she was perfect for me and my bridal party! I couldn’t do a trial and I’m not a huge makeup person so I didn’t provide any guidance - which I think freaked her out a bit- but without any prep or trial she did a fantastic job and every one of my bridesmaids and Mom had the perfect level and type of makeup for them. Even my husband (who knows nothing about makeup and typically hates it) remarked that everyone looked beautiful but not overdone which is exactly what we were going for and asked her for. She’s kind and nice, but also clear cut with pricing and timing to make it simple for me to plan and schedule my ladies. She’s pricier than other makeup options in the area but her quality is SO good and it was 100% worth it for me- if this is in your budget and you want to make sure everyone looks great, you must book her!

    Absolutely amazing service!

    I hired Jennifer to do my makeup as well as a 6 person bridal party plus the MOB, MOG, great grandmother and two aunts. I could not have been happier with her! Jennifer is very professional, extremely talented and puts you right at ease. While Jennifer is known for her natural and flawless work I wanted a bit more drama and boy did she nail it! My skin was flawless and my eyes popped! I felt light and comfortable in the makeup all day and looked just like I wanted. Jennifer's ability to give you what you want while maintaining her flawless and romantic style is incredible. She made everyone feel beautiful working on a group of woman whose ages raged from 20-80 years old. That talent is hard to find! Aside from her talent Jennifer knows the wedding industry and was a wonderful resource to me. She also was amazing at helping in setting up the hair and makeup schedule for my wedding day, foreseeing issues that could arise and making sure they were nipped in the bud so everything would run smoothly. She is experience and knows her stuff! I truly can not say enough about how positive my experience was working with Jennifer. She was one of if not the best decision I made in hiring a wedding vender. I am truly thankful for what she brought to my wedding planning experience and of couse my wedding day!

    Enhancing natural beauty!

    Jennifer came to my mom's house to do makeup for my six bridesmaids, my mom, and me on my wedding day. She was so amazing at making every woman look like herself, but turned up a notch. I trusted her input when I was wanting a more dramatic look and she edited me a bit- I was so glad I listened to her when i got my photos back. My mom had been especially concerned about the makeup and when she and I went for a trial with Jennifer, she was so happy! Jennifer puts everyone at ease and is a true perfectionist.

    I had a wonderful experience with Jennifer. Vermont was a bit of a destination wedding for us, so my only communication with her before my wedding day was via email. She was always prompt and professional and willing to answer any and all questions I had. On the day of, she arrived right on time and had a presence that immediately put me at ease. Since we hadn't done a trial, she asked my opinion each step of the way, making sure that we achieved my vision. She was also insistent that I tell her the truth if I didn't like something and that we could change/adjust anything that wasn't working for me, but no such adjustment was needed. I had requested lashes, but to her credit, she did not think they were working on me and we decided together to ditch them. She could have sold them to me anyway and not cared, but she was genuinely invested in my look being right, so I thought that was a great show of character. Since we had not had a trial and I was unable to purchase my lipstick ahead of time for touchups during the day, she graciously gave me a small sample to get me though, and it was a lifesaver! We have already received our wedding photos and I'm very happy with how my makeup came out and held up all day long! Working with Jennifer was a joy.

    Sweet, fun, creative, talented...I could go on for days about Jennifer. I was the type of bride who honestly was not looking forward to the "getting ready" hours before the wedding. However, once we hired Jennifer, I literally could not wait for the wedding day and for my wedding party to meet and spend time with Jennifer! She is an absolute delight to be around- all of us wanted to adopt Jennifer in our friend group if she'd have us. Furthermore, her talent. There are no words to describe the natural and beautiful looks she creates uniquely suited for each person's style. Each of my bridesmaids looked "just like themselves" but with just a little extra lovely thrown in there! I could not believe the diversity of color palettes that Jennifer draws from, and her knowledge of makeup. Everything she does is built on years of experience, deep knowledge and love of the makeup she hand chooses with care, and her own passion for her craft. Jennifer is a great fit for you if you are looking for talent mixed with a modest and wonderful personality! And don't let her modesty fool you- she has the portfolio of a star.

    Jennifer was a true professional - through the entire booking process, trial, and wedding day. My bridesmaids, officiant, mother, mother-in-law, and I all felt like ourselves, but better and we looked like movie stars for the entire wedding day. Jennifer did an incredible job paying attention to each of us and taking her time to make sure we liked the look. A GO TO vendor for any Vermont bride!

    I have so many wonderful things to share about Jennifer that I don't even know where to begin. I guess to start, she's incredibly talented. She was able to take my inarticulate ideas and really execute everything perfectly, which is no small task. In addition to being awesome at what she does, she's a wonderful person to work with. My ceremony was set for Tuesday at sunrise, which meant hair and makeup would have to start at around 3:30 AM. I was nervous asking my vendors to wake up so early but she was completely down for it, and never once complained. In fact, she was super enthusiastic! And then on late Sunday night (only 30 hours before I was getting married) I saw that the forecast was predicting rain on Tuesday. My photographer offered to do a mini photo shoot on Monday at sunset, and I was panicking about how I would get my hair and makeup done on such short notice. I emailed Jennifer and she got back to me at 6 AM to say she would be able to help! And not only that, but she texted my hair stylist to pass along the news. So as a result of Jennifer's kindness, I was able to have my makeup and hair done just the way I wanted by the two best hair and makeup vendors in Burlington! I'm pretty much just rambling now but seriously, I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed having Jennifer as my makeup artist. The best thing you can do as a bride is hire good vendors whom you can trust, and Jennifer fits the bill 100%. On Tuesday morning when my makeup was done I was honestly a little sad to say goodbye, because I felt like we had become fast friends and she was playing such an important role in my elopement. If you are lucky enough to catch Jennifer when she's available, book with her immediately--I promise that you're going to love her.

    Naturally Beautiful Makeup!

    I hired Jennifer to do makeup for my bridal party in our December 2021 wedding. She was a pleasure to work with from day one. She is highly organized and professional. Jennifer produces a very natural and beautiful look. All my girls looked stunning and were happy with their makeup. Jennifer was patient and flexible with last minute changes and had a very clean and organized set up. We all loved working with her and I’d highly recommend her for your wedding or events!

    Jennifer Perellie was such a great person to work with for our wedding!!! She is so talented and made me and my bridal party feel stunning on my wedding day. She is incredibly talented and was fun to be around as everyone got ready on the morning of. I highly recommend Jennifer!
