    The best makeup team!

    Essie Cohen makeup is absolutely the best! I recently got married in June 2024 and hiring Essie for my wedding makeup was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. From the moment I reached out, she was calm, friendly and super organized!!! I feel like she really got to know me at my wedding makeup trial. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and was super organized! I’ve never seen a makeup person stick to the schedule and complete all makeup early on the wedding day! The wedding morning was so fun and chill because of Essie! She also fit in so well with my family and friends. I highly recommend hiring Essie for your wedding day!

    Essie is the best

    Essie was my makeup artist for my June 22, 2024 wedding, and I simply cannot recommend her enough. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly professional with her brides. Though she has done hundreds (or maybe even thousands?) of weddings, she took the time to personalize my look for ME, and to encourage me to be honest if I wanted any tweaks. Her energy is so calm and positive- the exact thing you need in a hectic bridal suite. She worked FAST and even kept us ahead of schedule- which I believe is unheard of for the wedding day! Her assistant Riley made skin prep a total dream, and many of my bridesmaids said it was the best professional makeup they've ever received. Booking with Essie is a no-brainer!

    Amazing experience, as always!

    Essie + her team are the absolute best. I was a bridesmaid in 2 weddings that used her as the makeup artist, so when it was my turn to get married, hiring Essie was a no-brainer. Her talent shows in every job she does, I felt so beautiful, and I loved hanging out with her!

    Absolutely incredible!

    My experience with Essie was absolutely incredible! The initial trial and booking process was beyond seamless and the day of experience was more spectacular than I could’ve ever asked for! Essie and her team had everything organized, cleaned, and set up to ensure it was an easy and enjoyable wedding morning. All my ladies and of course, myself, were beyond happy with our naturally beautiful makeup and I’m so grateful to have share my big day with Essie! Would recommend to every upcoming bride!

    Cannot reccommend enough!

    Essie is the absolute best. She is pure perfection when it comes to make up - making you look the most natural and flawless at the same time. She is exceptional - you don't even need to tell her a direction, she just gets it without a word.

    On top of that (and maybe more importantly), her vibe is NEXT LEVEL. She brings the perfect energy, chill but excited, organized but easy going. Essie and her assistant (Riley) are an ABSOLUTE dream to work with and I could not recommend them enough. Essie was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day and I wish we could do it all again. LOVE YOU ESSIE!

    Essie Cohen is THE BEST!

    Essie is a true artist and even better person! Feeling lucky to have had her for my wedding makeup, she made me, my bridesmaids, and mother look & feel stunning. Her talent is unmatched, creating a comfortable and natural look especially for someone who's not into a lot of makeup. Everything stayed flawless all day and had zero worries! I highly recommend Essie for anyone in need of a fantastic makeup artist in the Westchester/NYC area!

    10/10 Stars - Perfect!

    Essie was a dream to work with from the initial emails to the day of. Essie knew not only what I what I wanted but also all of my bridesmaids and attendants without a second look. Everyone looked like themselves, but enhanced and glowing. Essie made us all feel like princesses and supermodels, and I can't say enough good things. Do not hesitate. BOOK HER NOW. She won Best of Westchester for a reason, and her professionalism and generally positive vibe and demeanor made it a ten star experience!

    Essie Cohen is a dream makeup artist

    Essie is so talented, she had the ability to not only do my wedding makeup but also make all 12 members of my bridal party look stunning, natural yet beautiful. Not only is she talented, she is a delight to be around and I am so grateful to have had her do my wedding makeup.

    Bridal makeup

    Essie did my makeup for one of the most important days of my life! She was prompt, organized and extremely experienced in this field. Essie knows what works and what doesn’t work on people. In summary, I felt so confident and beautiful. Thank you Essie!

    Exactly what we wanted

    Essie and team were just what we needed on my wedding day.

    I had gone for a separate makeup trial and was told “oh you’re just not used to wearing makeup, you’ll get used to it” in response to my unenthused expression at a final look created by another makeup artist.

    I met Essie a few weeks later and she immediately made me feel not only at ease, but excited about my wedding day makeup. I had a natural look, and felt like an elevated version of myself. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law all loved how their makeup turned out as well.

    I absolutely loved my makeup on my wedding day and so did all of my bridesmaids. Essie was so easy to work with and the morning ran so smoothly! She is professional, efficient, and so kind!

    I had the absolute privilege of having Essie work her magic on my wedding day, and I can't say enough about her incredible talent and expertise. I've always struggled to articulate how I want my makeup to look, but Essie has an uncanny ability to understand her clients on a deep level. On my wedding day, I was blown away by the results. My makeup was flawless and lasted throughout the entire event. Essie created a look that was elegant, timeless, but I loved how I still looked like myself. Not only is Essie incredibly talented, but she's also a joy to be around. Her calming, bubbly presence on a day that can be quite nerve-wracking was a true blessing. I trusted her implicitly, and she exceeded all my expectations. I look forward to working with her again!

    So grateful for the entire Essie Cohen team!

    Makeup was definitely a top priority for this same-sex couple with 2 brides as we wanted to find artists we both loved, who were easy to work with/communicate with, and also reasonably priced (since there was 2 of us with 2 female bridal parties - total of 13 individuals). While Essie was already booked on our wedding day, she connected us with her team who made us feel beautiful and flawless for our big day in September 2023. We knew we wanted makeup on our wedding day that still allowed us to look like ourselves but more elevated. Our makeup trial was a great experience getting to meet Carolyn and we loved how beautiful and confident we felt. Between the trial and wedding day, I had some tweaks I wanted to make and had some questions about products, etc., and Carolyn was so quick to reply and assure me that she had all my notes, updates, and everything would be perfect, which it was. Leading up to our wedding day, Nadia (the office manager) was so organized and easy to communicate with. She also helped us create a day-of schedule. Daniela was our second stylist who was so lovely, and she did an amazing job making our bridesmaids, mothers and grandmother look and feel gorgeous. Courtney, the makeup assistant, was a huge help in getting all of us prepped and ready for makeup and such a calming presence! Carolyn perfectly executed both our bridal styles and we are so happy with our decision to go with Essie Cohen! We also used Britt Bridal for hair and highly recommend using them together as they've worked together in the past and work so well with on another. Also leading up to the wedding, Essie surprised us and mailed both of us beauty kits to help stay calm the week leading up to the wedding which was such an amazing little touch and why it's important to support small business owners. We're truly so grateful for the entire Essie Cohen team!!!

    Essie is the BEST!!

    Where do I even begin to sing the praises of my favorite human being, Essie! Essie and I hit it off immediately at my wedding makeup trial, talking all things Bravo and VPR #TeamArianna.

    I was the luckiest girl in the world that she was available on my wedding day to not only do my makeup as well as some friends and family, but also to start my day on the best note and get us pumped up for the big day ahead!

    My makeup was FLAWLESS! After looking at myself in the mirror I quite literally said out loud "Wow!" Essie and her team are the most fun and organized, keeping everyone on track and sticking to the timeline, while bringing out all of the natural beauty.

    I now get to use special events going forward as an excuse to go back to Essie and hang out to get my makeup done, one because she's perfect at her craft, but more importantly, because I can truly call her a friend. Love you Essie!!

    Essie is amazing!

    I had the best experience using Essie Cohen for makeup for my wedding. All of my bridesmaids LOVED, as did I, and we all loved spending time with her the day of our wedding. She does an amazingly beautiful yet natural look and the EYES!! So good. I got SO many compliments on how perfect it was. Not to mention, throughout all my crying, my makeup stayed perfect. Couldn't recommend her enough!!

    I couldn't have been happier that I found Essie. I don't wear makeup often so I don't know much about what I'm looking for but she nailed the look based on what I liked and the vibe I was going for! My sisters and friends do wear makeup and know a lot more and we're equally happy with their service. My friend even said it was the first time she didn't redo her makeup after getting it done! You spend a lot of time getting ready and you want someone lovely and supportive like Essie and her team around!!

    Perfect Wedding Makeup

    I would choose Essie over and over again! She has perfected the elevated natural look that I wanted for my wedding day. She made my bridesmaids and I look (and feel) beautiful with makeup that lasted all night! It is obvious that she has many years of experience under her belt. She is extremely professional and personable. Her and her team made things so easy for me for a stress-free wedding morning!
