Every bride wants to look and feel the best on the wedding day!  Having someone come and do your makeup is probably one of the most pampering things you can do for yourself.   Wendy and her girls, Jess and Kristen, do just that!

“I want women to see and appreciate their own beauty. If you are a bride, I want to enhance your look and make you glow. (In a good way…not make you look bright orange!) For my brides, I consider myself lucky that I get to spend such an incredibly important day with you.

My goal is not to see how many brides I can squeeze in on any given Saturday or to get my name printed in magazines…my only goal is to serve you with the respect, maturity and kindness that you deserve.”

And Wendy’s favorite part of a wedding?  “Seeing the brides first reaction to how she looks on her wedding day when the hair, makeup, jewelry is all ready and on.  Gets me every time!  I am blessed and gives me great pleasure to know that I had a big part in how she looks on her special day.  LOVE IT!!”
