When planning your wedding, there are hundreds of decisions you will need to make. Most brides will focus on choosing their dress or the venue, but the single best and most important decision I made was to choose Ann as my wedding make up artist.
I cannot express just how extraordinary her work was. Ann is an absolute magician when it comes to makeup, and she went above and beyond in every possible way to make my special day even more memorable.
From our very first interaction, Ann's professionalism and passion for her craft shone through. She took the time to truly understand my vision for the day, and she exceeded my expectations at every turn. Ann's versatility as a makeup artist was truly showcased as she effortlessly created four distinct makeup looks for me, each one more stunning than the last (natural, ethereal, dramatic red lip!).
Ann's attention to detail is nothing short of remarkable. She took the time to make sure every aspect of my makeup was flawless. Her artistry is simply unparalleled, and her ability to enhance my natural beauty while still ensuring I felt like myself was incredible.
What sets Ann apart, however, is her genuine care and dedication. She didn't just do her job; she ensured that I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. When I got into a pinch with a hair snafu-- she stepped in and fixed it without hesitation. She stayed by my side the entire wedding day, touching up my make up and making sure I had everything I needed within arms reach. Its like I had another (very talented) bridesmaid! She was not only my makeup artist but also my confidante and source of support during the hectic hours leading up to the ceremony.
I can wholeheartedly say that Ann played a pivotal role in making my wedding day a dream come true. Her work left my husband and me absolutely mesmerized, and we received countless compliments from our guests about how stunning my makeup looked.
If you're searching for a makeup artist who is not only extraordinarily talented but also deeply caring and dedicated to her clients, Ann is the one. I couldn't have asked for a more incredible makeup artist, and I am eternally grateful for her role in making my wedding day truly magical. Thank you, Ann, for your unparalleled skill, dedication, and the radiant confidence you bestowed upon me on the most important day of my life. You are a true gem in the world of...
Read moreHiring Ann and All Brides New York is the classic take on - you get what you pay for. You may think Ann is "expensive" comparatively to other artists, but I doubt you get the quality of makeup, level of service, and emotional support as you do with Ann and her team. Hire Ann to handle your bridal make up and DON'T pass on the full day touch up make up package. It is totally worth it. Ann and her team will follow you around your grounds for photos and touch up EACH and every one of your girls between shots. It's like a real magazine photo shoot. She will also hold your hand, hold your flowers, hold your veil things you never think you'd need but you'll be so glad they are there. She really acts as an extension to your wedding team and you NEED a strong team that day. Ann is a calm artist and she will take feedback right then and there. She doesn't get flustered by complicated moms, and will pivot to a different style, shade etc. for what you think is best. Ann also brought along another makeup artist and she did a lot of my darker skin bridesmaids and she did an AMAZING JOB. I was so in love with how my girls looked, they were so beautiful, clean and vibrant. We were ahead of schedule and had plenty of time to take a lot of photos. On top of the day itself, communication was easy and quick with Ann. She had some crazy personal stuff happen right before our wedding, that did not impact her level of responsiveness and organization. She created the schedule, took feedback, made iterations, and she handled that for both the makeup team and the hair team (which is a different vendor). Ann personally is FUNNY and always looking to have fun (and good food). She's great to be around, if you have a bad experience with her it's probably...
Read moreAnn is an absolute GEM of a human and total expert in her field. I worked with her at a wedding (I'm a wedding photographer) and was instantly blown away by not only her work, but her kindness, professionalism and enthusiasm for her craft. Shortly after, I contacted her for a private lesson because I never learned how to do makeup properly and desperately wanted to learn how - so I felt more confident in photos, just out and about on a night out, you name it! And oh my gosh, she was the BEST teacher! I took videos of everything she taught me and looking back, I'm even more reminded of how excellent of an instructor she is - she explains things clearly and effectively. She not only taught me exactly how to do the clean everyday makeup look I wanted to learn, but wrote down the products she used on me that matched MY specific skin tone, specific to my skin type, the look I wanted - the entire lesson was just so personalized and felt so unique and special. I immediately purchased all of the items she used on me and got to work! With each try of my own, I got better and better and now I feel SO confident going out with a full face of makeup. I even get compliments on my makeup which is something I NEVER ever had happen to me. I literally tell them it was all because of an amazing, life-changing makeup lesson. I feel beautiful, confident and truly changed because of Ann! Not to mention, the studio she gives lessons in (her own personal studio) is BEAUTIFUL and cozy and makes you feel so at home when you're learning. Thank you so much Ann!
