“Liz Washer was amazing! She was so great to work with. Not only did my makeup look amazing, but it lasted all night long (even after shedding quite a few tears…) Liz was accommodating, knowledgeable and extremely professional. She had a great attitude and really set me at ease. I would recommend Liz Washer to anyone in need of a makeup artist for a wedding or a special event, she is absolutely the best!”

“I have struggled with severe rosacea, psoriasis, broken capillaries, and sensitive yet oily skin for years, so I spent a great deal of time researching makeup options. From my first email with Liz, I knew she was the perfect makeup artist for me. Not only did she respond extremely quickly and professionally, she actually took the time to clearly address every single question I had. When Liz was done, I had the flawless skin of a model in a magazine, yet I felt as if I had just put on some lotion. I never wanted to wash it off! If you want makeup tailored to your features that will look perfect in every photo, applied by a calming professional, hire Liz!”
– Jessica

 

“Liz is a wonderful makeup artist and I am happy she was present on my wedding day to bring out everyone’s natural beauty. We had an eclectic group, from grandmothers in the 90′s to a mid twenties bride, in quite the variety of skin tones, and Liz just made everyone glow. Liz made me look striking and glamorous but still natural. She is also a very calming and easygoing person, so you will look forward to having her near you for your big event!”
– Rebeca

 

“Liz is amazing. I have never looked – or felt – so beautiful in my life. That is quite a feat given that I am 50! Regardless, Liz’s talent was equally appreciated by my 19 year old daughter. Liz came highly recommended by my photographer and did not disappoint!”
– Cynthia

 

 

 

“Having an outdoor wedding I had a fear of natural light revealing a really bad, unnatural looking ‘pancake’ make-up job. That’s when I found Liz. She was professional, friendly, and very accommodating (especially to an indecisive bride such as myself!) The make-up looked gorgeous and lasted from 11 am until 2 a.m through the humidity, passing rain, and excessive dancing. I did not even have to touch it up at all. As my maid of honor stated ‘it looks like you… but better!’”
– Karen

 

 
“This is one vendor that will not add any additional stress to your big day. Liz answered every little question I had and found me a fantastic hair stylist! She has a calming personality and will not leave you disappointed! She is a must for your wedding and also take advantage of her great work for boudoir shoots, prom, rehearsal dinner, special anniversary dates and any other time you want to feel glamorous!”
– Crystal

 

“From my first phone call with Liz she was professional, a good listener, responsive, and kind. I felt completely comfortable while she was working on me, and even less stressed. She really listened to what my mother and I envisioned for our makeup and we were thrilled and amazed by the results! The colors that she used were completely complimentary to my skin tone and eye color. Her makeup made me feel so much more special than the makeup I usually wear to an event. My mother loved her makeup as well. She looked great, and some of the guests said that she looked younger. I would absolutely recommend Liz for wedding, or any special event makeup. She’s incredible!”
– Julia

 

“Liz was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always kind and professional, both by email and in person. She dealt with all the little insanities of a wedding with grace. The day after the wedding, I wrote to say ‘Hanging out with the girls in the relaxed and happy environment you created was a wonderful and perfect start to the day. I think everyone felt beautiful all night – I know they looked it.’ I loved my makeup and it looks fantastic in pictures.”
– Shiri

“Liz did a great job! The makeup was exactly as we had discussed. It was a hot day and lots of dancing… and the makeup lasted all night long. She made me look like the flawless bride I wanted to be. My entire wedding party was very pleased. I would definitely recommend!”
– Erica

 

 

 

“Liz did an AMAZING job on my and my mother’s makeup for my wedding. I have truly never felt more gorgeous in my life! Neither my mom nor I wear very much make up, and Liz really takes into account each personality, skin/face type, coloring, etc when doing make up. The result was better than I could have imagined. Liz is a very calming personality, and she was wonderful to have around on my wedding day. Liz was definitely worth every penny!”
– Cara

 

“You were such a great highlight of our special day and your professionalism and expertise is truly remarkable. I’m in weddings regularly and rarely come across someone so competent and capable. I wish you were part of my daily routine – but having you help me feel pretty on my wedding day was really an honor.”
– Susan

 

 

“I give Liz 10 stars… I cannot say enough about my makeup, I was beyond pleased & excited. Super friendly, flexible (she came to me). My makeup was flawless and will use Liz a lot more in the future.”
– Nicole

 

 

 

“I would HIGHLY recommend Liz Washer for any Bride who wants to look gorgeous on her wedding day and have the stress taken out of the “make-up process.” Liz was completely flexible with my numerous plan changes and was able to accommodate my crazy schedule perfectly which was a huge load off of my mind! I absolutely loved how my make-up looked and it stayed flawless for the entire evening!”
– Alyssa

 

 

Liz applied fabulous air-brushed and hand applied make-up to my 53-yr old face for my step daughter’s wedding. She also recommended a hair stylist which, me being from out of town, was a tremendous help. Between the two of them, I looked about 20 yrs younger and received countless compliments on my appearance throughout the long (and hot) celebratory day! The make-up stayed looking fresh through it all, and I felt great!
– Mary Beth

 

“One word describes my experience working with Liz on my wedding day… AMAZING! She was so professional yet easygoing and relaxed. She made me feel calm and secure that I would look amazing… and I did! I had a relaxing moment in an extraordinarily hectic day while and I was so happy with the way my makeup turned out. I am not a morning person and I had a bit of a breakout due to stress. After Liz did her magic I looked fresh and rested. My complexion looked smooth and even, and the colors she used were perfect: soft yet dramatic enough to make an impact. I looked young and fresh and glowing. She made me feel beautiful on the most important day of my life!”
– Patricia

 

“I highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a makeup artist! She was very friendly and receptive and made me feel beautiful while still looking like myself on my wedding day. I don’t typically wear much make up so it was important to me to enhance my features while still looking like myself. Thanks so much Liz!”
– Melissa

 

 

“I’ve never looked so amazing in my life! I asked for the Kim Kardashian look (yes it’s true, I’m a little ashamed to admit it) and she delivered – my smoky eyes were amazing – she airbrushed my face and my skin looked natural and flawless, not caked on and fake. I absolutely loved it all, and Liz did an amazing job with my mom’s and sister’s makeup too (my sis said she looked better at my wedding than she did at her own wedding a few years back). Nothing smudged, it all lasted through an emotional ceremony, sweaty Greek dancing, all of it. Liz rocks. I HIGHLY recommend her. Love Liz! (Wish she could airbrush my face everyday…)”
– Lisa

 

“Liz made everything easier. She took the anxiety and tension out of the room and pre-wedding prep. In its place she left calmness and beauty. She was flexible, understanding, and kind. Most of all she did a great job on people’s faces. She made all the women confident in how they looked. She was fast and efficient. Liz was honest and upfront with her pricing. I would use her again for any event and have already recommended her to many friends. We could have chosen anyone in NYC [for our CT wedding], but I am so glad we went with Liz.”
– Sophia

 

“As a professional photographer and sometimes model, I’ve worked with a lot of makeup artists. I met Liz in the latter capacity and was totally blown away by her work. Liz was able to create something striking while still keeping it fresh, young and very natural looking. Liz made my skin look flawless. I admired Liz’s work so much that I got in touch after the shoot to set up a makeup lesson. I feel like I’ve always done a pretty good job with my makeup, but the tricks and insight Liz provided changed the way I did my makeup, and totally for the better. From the first makeup application to the lesson and shopping trip, I had a truly fabulous experience!”
– Megan

 

“Liz, I can’t thank you enough for the FABULOUS job that you did!!!! My friends absolutely LOVED you!!! My one friend Colleen has been in literally 9 weddings this summer and she said that you were by far the best person she has had do her make-up!!! They all want you to live with them so you can make them beautiful everyday! As for me I didn’t wash my face until Tuesday LOL!! Look forward to needing a make-up artist again just so I can call you up!!! Thank you a million for everything!!!!!”
– Jennifer

 

“Liz was the first and last makeup artist I considered for my wedding! When I started my search (about six months out), I was impressed by her website and reviews. Once we started emailing, I was blown away by her responsiveness. Liz asked lots of questions before and during the trial to ensure my look came out the way I wanted. I loved the way I looked and felt after both the trial and the wedding. The day of the wedding, she was all set up and ready to go when I got back home from the salon. We felt totally relaxed the morning of! I would highly recommend Liz as your makeup artist!”
– Carolyn

 

“Before I chose a date, a venue, a dress, or made any wedding related decisions other than saying “yes!” when my partner proposed, I knew I wanted Liz Washer to do my make-up. She was perfect to work with: professional, funny, and calming. More importantly, she made me look and feel fabulous. The end result: an overwhelming desire to make eyes at myself in the mirror, giddy with appreciation of my own features expertly framed, enhanced, and highlighted. Liz is a fantastic make-up artist and the best gift I gave myself on my wedding day. I would recommend her (emphatically!) to any bride!”
– Jenny

“Liz was fantastic. She worked with me to fit my busy wedding day schedule and was accommodating to all of my needs. She listened to what I wanted and never tried to make me look like something I wasn’t. I was hesitant about hiring a makeup artist until I decided I’d rather not stress out about it that day. I am SO glad I did. Not only was it less stress on me, but it was actually a relaxing experience and one of the highlights of the day. Liz’s calm and collected attitude really helped bring everyone’s stress level down. Liz is an amazing makeup artist and will have you looking exactly how you imagined, only better.”
– Aimee

“Liz is simply fantastic. I was literally a blank slate for her to work with because I have a hair loss disorder and do not have any eyelashes or eyebrows. Liz brought out my best features and made me look absolutely fantastic and still like myself. My lashes and brows looked entirely natural and held up all night. Liz is talented, punctual, kind, and professional – she calmed my bridal jitters and even gave me a touch-up goodie bag! I never needed it because my makeup, including the false lashes, held up all night through tears, laughter, and lots of dancing!”
– Kerry-Beth

“Liz is a true artist! She did my make up for my wedding this past Friday, it looked and felt amazing and held up not only all night but it still looked fresh the next morning! She’s amazing, worth every penny!“
– Ashley

“I definitely made the right choice choosing Liz as our makeup artist. She is so friendly and has great talent for makeup. My bridal makeup as well as my mom, sister and mother in laws makeup was so natural but at the same time accentuated everybody’s best facial features. I recommend her for any event!!!”
– Jessica

“Being a bride at 39 is a bit humbling, but when Liz was finished with me, I felt absolutely beautiful and glam. Liz did my makeup and my two teen daughters – they looked totally age appropriate and exactly like themselves. (My oldest asked for a retro look and she looked absolutely beautiful, and my 15 y.o. looked so natural and her big brown eyes just popped.) After a formal ceremony at 11am and then a rockin’ after party, I got back to our bridal suite at 1am (17 hours after application) and saw that not only did I still look fresh and my makeup still in place, my super sensitive skin never reacted to Liz’s makeup. Amazing!”
– Jenn

“Liz is a true professional. She is very responsive and very flexible. She is outstanding in her work and my whole wedding party looked beautiful. Thank you Liz!”
– Denise

“Liz did my makeup for our January ceremony. She was there early, had her arsenal of cosmetics ready, and had my makeup beautifully done in time for the dress to go on and for me to strut down the aisle. She was a wonderful addition to the crowd assembled in my house that morning, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Liz has since done my makeup a second time. She airbrushed me the second time, and my face came out completely flawless. I have rosacea, so that’s no small feat! 100% Recommended!”
– Kelly

“Liz was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so thankful she was able to do my wedding makeup. She really made me look and feel beautiful! I’ve never had my makeup professionally done and wasn’t sure what to expect, but the end results were amazing. I loved our consultation results so much that I booked her on the spot. She made us look like supermodels! The airbrush makeup made my face feel and look smooth and flawless. My makeup lasted throughout the day into the night and even the next day! Liz was great to work with and her prices are very fair – I highly recommend her work!!”
– Ania

“Liz did my makeup for my wedding, which was on a hot day in “Indian summer.” Not only did she do a beautiful job, but her calming presence made me feel my most confident and got me ready to walk down the aisle with my head held high. Liz is wonderfully creative and has a state-of-the-art kit, but also willing to work with a client’s preferred colors or products, and in either case deliver a polished and beautiful result.”
– Amy

“My wedding occurred on one of most sweltering days of August, and yet Liz did such a great job that I looked cool, collected and beautiful the entire day. My eyes looked especially amazing, even with the glasses I insisted on wearing!”
– Heather

“Thanks SO much! I got some new favorite photos for sure… I couldn’t have done it without you!! The right makeup seriously just kicks it up 500 notches.“
– Shannon Grant, photographer

“Liz helped me feel happy, frisky, and even *beautiful* in front of that scary camera. I was full of weird anxieties (‘I don’t want to look too made-up!’) and I am absolutely overjoyed with the result. I’ll probably be using these headshots for the next ten years … at which point I will go straight back to Liz and [photographer] Lesley!”
