Sandy Thinnes Makeup Artistry — Local services in Lemont Township

Do yourself a favor and hire Sandy Thinnes, the best makeup artist on earth for your wedding. She was the best decision I made while planning for mine! I’ve seen her work before and knew she’d be the best out there and I knew I wouldn’t trust anyone else on my big day. Here’s my honest review: Professionalism: Even though my wedding was a destination, Sandy was prepared and traveled with her kit. She was early for my trial and the big day. She did some of my bridesmaids and my mother as well, but I was her main priority. She made me feel calm and kept track of time and never had to rush. While planning the big day, she even made me a schedule for everyone’s hair and makeup so we could get through the morning calmly and efficiently. Talent: Sandy has a way of bringing out my best features and making my eyes pop. I’ve never felt more beautiful, but at the same time I still looked like myself, not someone wearing gallons of paint. No matter how hard I try, I can’t replicate it. She’s truly an artist. Poise/Personality: Sandy is so sweet and funny, she made all of my bridesmaids and I feel so comfortable. She genuinely cared about us enjoying the day. There’s lots to stress about on your wedding day, but many of the details don’t matter. The one thing you’ll always have to look back on are your photos and videos, so make sure you look...

I booked Sandy Thinnes for my bridal makeup for my wedding on August 18, 2024 and she delivered with flawless execution. After endless months of internet searching, I found Sandy who was willing to take me on as a solo (bride) client. I didn’t have a bridal party and found it very challenging to secure a makeup artist that would take me on individually. After reviewing Sandy’s portfolio, I reached out to her and the rest was history. From day one, Sandy makes you feel comfortable and heard. She listens to your makeup vision and/or concerns and addresses them with knowledge and professionalism. I opted for a bolder bridal glam look during my bridal trial and was elated with the outcome. A few days before my wedding day, I experienced a skin flareup and discussed this with Sandy to ensure flawless coverage. Again, Sandy was so receptive to my needs and flexible with any changes. The day of the wedding went incredibly smooth. Sandy was open to working in tandem with my hair stylist to maximize our time and truly executed makeup artistry. I received so many compliments about my makeup and it photographed beautifully. If you are looking for an artist who has mastered her craft, please look no further. Sandy will bring your makeup vision to life one...

There is no question in my mind that Sandy is the best in the business. If you are on her page, stop looking and just hire her!! From the get go, Sandy was quick to my questions, polite and professional, and had the most approachable demeanor. She has a heart of gold and welcomes you with open arms, and truly helps bring out your beauty inside and out. I came in with only one photo for her, and despite this, Sandy understood my vision, asked me to trust her expertise (I obviously did), and I was FLOORED by my results. She made me feel gorgeous, but also made me still feel like myself, not a dolled up, fake version, which is EXACTLY what I wanted. I'm confident you could see my skin from space with how dewy and glowy she made me look, and I can't describe how amazing she made me feel. On top of that, my bridal party/parents were all THRILLED with their makeup - I have been to plenty of weddings where someone in the bridal party gets upset that their makeup isn't what they wanted, but I knew with Sandy there was no chance. I can't recommend her enough for your wedding, engagement, or truly...
