First Vendor I Booked! Joanna is the BEST!
When I got engaged in June 2019 the first message I sent was to Joanna to coordinate when she was available with the wedding dates we were considering, I had followed her for a while on Instragram leading up to getting engaged and I absolutely loved her work and knew I had to have her for my wedding day. She was incredible to work with through it all- makeup for my engagement photos and multiple reschedulings due to Covid, but boy was it worth the wait! Joanna is a true professional and incredibly talented, I never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day! Not only was my makeup perfection, but it stayed all day & night through many cries, and I was well equipped to touch up throughout the day thanks to Joanna's touch up kit. My entire bridal party and mom/MIL loved their makeup and looked so beautiful, and I cannot recommend Joanna enough! She is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, talented, and so friendly that it was such a pleasure to work with her! Thanks again Joanna!

The BEST makeup artist in Chicago.
Joanna is simply the best in the business, and one of the best people to have on your wedding team - hands down. I feel so lucky that I was able to have her do my glam for not only my wedding and rehearsal dinner, but also my engagement photos and a few trials in between. When you meet Joanna, she instantly puts you at ease, and you feel like you have been friends with her for years. Getting your makeup done by her feels like hanging out with one of your girlfriends, and it's because she makes you feel instantly comfortable. She truly listens to what YOU want, and makes your makeup dreams come to life better than you could ever imagine. Her expertise is unparalleled - she not only knows makeup, but also skincare and you can see she has such passion for what she does. She also is a true professional, is responsive, and works with you to map out your makeup timeline so you have full confidence going into your wedding. I fully trusted her to work her magic, and I never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding weekend. Not only that, but she made my mom, grandma (who NEVER gets her makeup done), and bridesmaids look stunning and feel so beautiful. You won't find better than Joanna, and I am looking for reasons to have her do my makeup in the future because I can't let my wedding be the last time!! : ) Having her as your makeup artist is one of the best decisions you will make for your wedding.

The absolute BEST!
Wow, where to start... Joanna was referred to me by my photographer who had nothing but good things to say about her. After our first phone call, I truly trusted Joanna with my wedding day look and vision - she was the best combination of personable and professional, and I just knew I would be in good hands. From there, she helped me source my hairstylist - she even went above and beyond to do outreach on her own and check on avails (!!) From start to finish, she was incredibly organized and responsive, which was KEY to making sure the wedding weekend ran smoothly (especially with 10 bridesmaids and 2 moms). Even when unforeseen circumstances pushed our wedding day timeline back, Joanna stayed calm, cool, and collected under pressure - which helped me more than I can put into words! On top of all this, she is incredibly kind AND talented! She did my makeup for my engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day - and I've never felt more beautiful. Even my now-husband made a point to say he liked my makeup, and he's a "no makeup" kind of guy. Joanna just has a special way of making you look like the absolute best version of yourself and what more could you ask for on your wedding day! If you're still looking for a makeup artist, look no further because Joanna is the best of the best!

felt more beautiful.
My bridesmaids and I have never felt more beautiful. Joanna made us feel glamorous without feeling like our make-up was over the top. She airbrushed our make-up and it lasted from 6am until we took our make-up off that night. She listened to all of our skin types and what kind of look we were going for and pleased every one of us. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Joanna. She was so flexible and fun to work with. I am dying to find another excuse to have her do my make-up in the future.

incredibly fun and friendly.
Looking for an incredibly fun and friendly makeup artist for your special occasion or wedding? Look no further! Joanna is a gem and amazing to work with. I hired Joanna and an additional makeup artist for my November wedding. Book well in advance (as I did in January) to secure Joanna’s services! She arrived promptly with her second makeup artist the morning of our wedding at the venue ready to go. My makeup looked flawless — and those false lashes? Stunning. All my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL used her services, and we all looked fabulous. My look lasted all day long, and the touch-up kit she provides is perfect. Joanna, you were a joy to work with. Thank you!! <3
