Shimmer and Spice did mines and my bridal party makeup, and did a phenomenal job! Meghan was extra patient, accomodated last minute requests and even dealt with difficult individuals. She was a true breath of fresh air for my getting ready part of the day! Thank you again for a seamless getting ready process! -

Andrea H. Sent on 11/24/2023Best Vibes and Makeup I’ve Ever Had!!
The Shimmer and Spice Team far exceeded my expectations!! Starting with my trial with Megan - her and Kristyn were so lovely to hang out with and get to know while I had some champagne and tried out my wedding look. Their store is so adorable and I chose to add on a custom lip color to bring on wedding day. This team was so fantastic with communication, sending me a timeline for day of over a month in advance and making all proposal updates super easy through their portal! Megan and the team were such a lovely presence on wedding day and made all of the girls look STUNNING! I loved my makeup so much, it was so light but still glam and truly just looked like an elevated version of myself which I really wanted instead of a ton of makeup that didn’t look like me. I would recommend this group to any bride looking to have good vibes on her day, excellent/no stress communication and a beautiful look that’s tailored to you!! -

Wedding make-up
I can not say enough good things about Shimmer and Spice! My wedding make-up was perfect and everything went so smoothly I was actually very relaxed through the getting ready process. I had the pleasure of having Maria and Ashley do our make-up and everyone loved it! Would highly recommend -

Siobhan L. Sent on 07/15/2024Great Experience with Shimmer & Spice
I recently had the pleasure of working with Shimmer & Spice for my September 2023 wedding.
Hailey was our lead artist and Ashley was our associate artist. They were both great! They provided makeup for myself, my bridal party of five, my sister, and two moms, all of whom have different ages, styles, comfort levels with makeup, and skin tones.
From start to finish, Hailey and Ashley were professional, punctual, incredibly kind, and such a fun presence the morning of the wedding. They took the time to understand each person's preferences and comfort levels, ensuring everyone felt and looked their best.
Kristyn, the owner, is also wonderful! I was having some skin issues before the wedding and she went above and beyond to help me. The products she recommended to me have become staples in my routine. -

I found Shimmer and Spice on IG, loved everything I saw, and they did not disappoint! We could not have felt more lucky to have had Megan and Briana as our artists on my special day. They came prepared and stayed on schedule to get all 8 faces done on time and to perfection. We are a family that does not wear a ton of makeup, nor do we understand it at the slightest, which was a little intimidating. But these two took a natural approach with all of us and made us feel like ourselves but elevated to queen status! Not only am I completely confident in recommending these two based on their skills, talent and expertise, but we felt like we welcomed two long time friends into our house, which is exactly what you need and want on your big day.
Additionally, the communication leading up to the day, including some facetime with Megan, was beyond professional and comforting. THANK YOU! -

I knew I wanted to go with Shimmer and Spice for my makeup, and I am so happy I did! Megan was my lead artist, and she was amazing! My makeup made me feel so beautiful, and she took into consideration all of the changes I had made from my trial. Ashley was our second artist, and my sisters were so impressed by her makeup, they felt so beautiful as well. They both made us all feel so comfortable, and everyone was laughing and having a great time! The communication before the day was so easy and they were very organized. I could not have asked for a better experience, thank you so much! -

I'm SO glad we used Shimmer and Spice for our wedding! I don't usually wear much make up and knew I wanted a natural look, but was originally nervous because any other time I'd gotten my make up done in the past it never felt like "me". My trial with Kristyn was the first time I actually LOVED my make up and was excited about it! Kristyn was AMAZING all around - she also helped me with products since I was trying to learn, made a custom lip color that I loved, and continued to check in and offer help with the products I bought. In addition, my mom has very sensitive skin and Kristyn helped her over the phone too. My mom had gotten reactions to her make up the last 3 times she had it done but not at my wedding! Kristyn and the entire Shimmer and Spice team were great to work with. Of course my bridesmaids looked amazing too! If I need my make up done in the area again, I'll be asking Kristyn! -

I had a great experience with Darian and Shimmer & Spice. I wanted a very natural look for my wedding and Darian did not disappoint. She was very easy to work with and my other bridesmaids who got their makeup done were very happy too. Would recommend! -

Hailey created the bridal makeup look of my dreams!!! The style turned out exactly as I envisioned and held for the entire night. The rest of the wedding party's makeup was such a perfect blend of natural with elevated glam. I'm so glad I booked Shimmer and Spice! -

Shimmer and Spice did my makeup for 3 different nights for my wedding and everything was PERFECTTT!!! All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup too. They hit the perfect balance of natural makeup that enhances the features you have. They listen to all of your requests and make sure that you look exactly how you want to on your big day!! They were also super organized and easy to work with. I would highly recommend to any bride!!! -

Shimmer and Spice was an amazing vendor to work with leading up to and on the day of my wedding. The team was extremely responsive and easy to work with! On the day of the wedding we had Megan as the lead stylist and she was great - she captured exactly what I was looking for makeup wise. I couldn't recommend the team more! -

Rachel Sent on 05/21/2023Natural Glam from an Above & Beyond Team
The Shimmer and Spice team was superb to work with for my wedding! I wanted a natural look that made me feel like myself but that still had a bit of glam and wow to it, specifically a glam eye. Darian hit it out of the park. She was so easy to work with and knew exactly what my skin needed to look perfect. I also have a gluten allergy, something that phases a lot of makeup artists, but not Darian. She went above and beyond, researching to make sure each product was safe for my skin. The team uses a different set of brushes for each girl, which was also really nice. Maria joined Darian on the day of and between both of them, everyone looked amazing. My SIL gave birth 6 days before the wedding and Maria even took extra time to make her feel and look amazing, despite her exhaustion. -

Anna D. Sent on 05/03/2023Natural and beautiful make-up
It was very important to me to look like a subtly glamorous version of myself on my wedding day. Shimmer and Spice achieved this look not only for me but for all of my bridal party.
I had contacted Shimmer and Spice after endlessly scrolling through the Philadelphia area Instagram wedding inspo and realizing their company was the make-up artists for most of the weddings where I noticed the bride's make-up.
On the day of my wedding, Shimmer and Spice arrived on time and stayed on schedule. I was concerned that we would fall behind due to the number of people (10 of us!) requiring hair/make-up, but their professionalism and expertise made for an easy day.
I can't thank Kristyn and her team enough for making my wedding day extra special and highly recommend them for make-up services, especially if you are looking for a beautiful, elevated version of yourself.
Thanks again, ladies!

Amanzing!!
I booked Shimmer and Spice over a year in advance for my Feb 2023 wedding - I knew I wanted a natural look, but still full coverage glam. Maggie did not disappoint! She was so helpful in my trial and even showed examples of how makeup translates into photos so that I was comfortable and able to make better adjustments. On wedding day we tweaked a few things and she DELIVERED! She and Megan made sure my whole group looked fantastic. They were both ahead of schedule all morning, and Megan was also incredibly responsive via email the entire planning process. Could not recommend enough! -

Flawless makeup!
Kristen and her partner did an amazing job on myself and my girls! As someone who does not wear makeup very often I was really nervous to have my makeup done and not feel like myself. I also have a ton of freckles that I did not want covered up or cakey heavy foundation. Kristen listened to everything I wanted and my makeup was flawless! She was so sweet, everything ran on time and they did touch ups before leaving. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and my sister just booked the company as well for her wedding next year!
I did not get all of my pictures back yet so I don’t have a close up of my makeup unfortunately -

Shimmer and Spice is incredible! My mom and I were both nervous for our trials but after meeting Darian felt completely at ease. She is so sweet and extremely talented. On the day of my wedding I felt amazing. I could not have been more happy with my makeup. My bridesmaids, most of who have been in many weddings before, commented they never had makeup done for a wedding that they actually loved. Shimmer and Spice is truly so talented and good at what they do and I would absolutely recommend them. -

Diana L. Sent on 11/26/2022Loved these ladies!!
Our girls from Shimmer and Spice were incredible! Maggie was our lead artist and was so personable, professional, and overall just FUN to work with. Everyone loved their "natural glam" looks and truly felt themselves, but with that added makeup glow that no one can manage on their own for a wedding! Cannot recommend them enough. They were such an instrumental part of making our wedding day run smoothly and keep the positive energy going! -

Perfection!
The shimmer and spice team are simply the best in the business. From planning, to the makeup trial, to the big day - the shimmer and spice team were AMAZING to work with. Meg, our makeup lead for our wedding, made sure everyone felt and looked their best - The team listened to exactly what everyone wanted and made sure to deliever a look that did just that! I seriously felt like the best version of myself, which is exactly what I wanted for my wedding day! There were 12 people getting our makeup done and we finished exactly when they said we would with everyone LOVING how their makeup turned out. The team was also SO FUN, which is important on a day where nerves could be a little high! I cannot recomment Shimmer and Spice enough! -
