EXPERIENCE

 

Chandler L.

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 makeup artistry.

Ann is AMAZING to work with!!!!I had nothing but the BEST to say about Ann. She is very professional, detailed, and truly went above and beyond.She made me feel flawless and beautiful - all day and all night long! Not only did Ann did a fantastic job getting me ready, she even stayed and helped with my wedding dress and even walked with me down the isle holding my dress. She did not have to do any of that, since it’s outside of her job - but she did it because she is an awesome human being!!!! That tells you a lot about her and her kindness.She truly stepped up at the wedding day and fixed my hair/dress, and helped relentlessly with my photos.I would recommend her to anyone, she is absolutely WORTH IT!!!!!!! 

Thank you Ann for the beautiful work ❤️ I admire you and appreciate you so much!

Sososososo happy working with Ann & her team. Starting from the trial to the actual wedding makeup, I am tremendously satisfied with everything. Ann does an excellent job at not only understanding what I wanted but also seeing if it fits my face/dress/overall vibe. 

I am usually very picky about little details but I really didn't even need to explain to Ann, she just seemed to already know what I wanted to communicate. Ann also went above and beyond and helped my photographers get better lighting for photos, helped me with my dress, and was such a strong support system even beyond just makeup.I also heard from my husband (then fiance) that she prepped his face and helped touch up the groomsmen as well and that was not included/expected so I am soso appreciative. 

 I want to have another wedding just so I can get my makeup done by Ann again LOL. You can tell Ann is such a sweet & humble spirit but she has an impressive portfolio. My bridesmaids/mother/mother in law/grandma were so pleased with their makeup. 

Thanks again Ann! <3

I would recommend Ann over and over again for wedding makeup. I had a diverse bridal party and everyone was happy with their final look. I had to postpone my wedding due to COVID, and Ann stayed in touch throughout the two years of planning.

Worth every penny.

Ann @ All Brides New York is an absolute gem!!! If you are looking for a makeup artist for your wedding day who will help you plan your look from day one, sends the nicest messages and texts checking in with you in the months/weeks even before your wedding, will give you the best makeup trial in her amazing boutique studio in Brooklyn AND will show up for you as if she's one of your bridesmaids on your big day - hire Ann!

Honestly, she is by far my favorite vendor that we booked and she truly made the entire day so much more special! All of my bridesmaids LOVED hanging out with her and she took each and every one of their preferences to heart - we all looked stunning and we all looked like ourselves, which was so important for me! I had multiple trials with other artists before I met/reached out to Ann where I just felt so overdone and not at all like myself - and when I found Ann it was the biggest relief. She knows exactly how to enhance your natural look, making you feel like you! I've honestly never felt more beautiful!! She's so incredibly talented, is such a lovely person and you can tell has a great heart! She truly became like family on the big day! She even fixed my hair for photos, took professional shots of me and my girls before the photographers even did, came with us to our venue, touched up my makeup right before walking down the aisle so that everything was perfect and had us all laughing and smiling the entire time! Truly truly truly THE BEST makeup artist experience ever!!! Best decision we made, and I would hire her again in an instant!!!

Ann is THE most talented makeup artist and I could not be any more happier with her! When I got engaged, I immediately started looked for make up artists that had experience with Asian brides and Ann's page came up. I reached out to her to her to do my makeup for my engagement photo shoot and OMG I am so glad I did because the makeup was stunning!! I couldn't believe I looked like that, while still looking natural and myself! Hands down the best makeup i've ever had. Ann is friendly, kind and SO funny. It was a pleasure to be working with her. I also just finished a one on one make up class with her to teach me how to do everyday makeup and what colors would look best on me. I always had issues finding the correct color match due to my undertones, especially with eyeshadow and my darker skin tone. She walked me through techniques and step by step and I HIGHLY recommend taking this class and booking Ann for any makeup sessions because she is honestly the best!! Thanks Ann!!

Let me start off saying Ann is not only a talented makeup artist but she is professional, kind and puts the highest standard making brides look and feel their best. Ann’s talent makes everyone look like the best version of themselves. Now for the details, I booked Ann to do my makeup for my very last minute mirco wedding. From the moment I first reached out to Ann she responded quickly to all my questions and concerns while ensuring my bridal vision came to life. I did a makeup trial two weeks ahead of my wedding day and the final result was breathtaking. My dark undereye circles and blemishes were completely hidden without having thick layers of makeup. My soft glam makeup not only looked stunning in real life but photographed beautifully without looking hard or over-done. A week before my wedding day, my wedding was cancelled due to COVID-19 and NYC indoor dining restrictions. While I worked on a new venue to host my ceremony, Ann was calm, understanding, and flexible, which was a relief while I re-planned a wedding. The morning of my wedding ceremony, Ann and her hair stylist arrived at my hotel on-time. Along with my makeup, Ann did my mother-in-law and two bridesmaids’ makeup. All the ladies who are of different ages and have different skin concerns looked stunning and were all pleased with the result. I plan on having my wedding reception next year and Ann is going to be the first person I contact once I book my date. Ann is a talented makeup artist and a pleasure to work with.

Ann is an amazing makeup artist! She really knows her stuff- she's an expert in making you look beautiful in person as well as in photos while still maintaining that natural look! She did my hair & makeup for my wedding and even though I went forward without a trial everything was perfect. She adapted to ever-changing challenges of covid- I felt safe & so beautiful on my wedding day. So happy to have found a makeup artist who understands my features. Would 100% work with her again for any special occasion that requires professional makeup & hair

 

Abby L

I had a wonderful experience with All Brides New York! Ann was an amazing stylist. Not only is she talented but is easy to work with and took the time to get to know my preference before our appointment. Also, much appreciated for Ann’s flexibility especially during this pandemic period. 10/10 recommend!

I cannot be more grateful to All Brides New York. Ann is a wonderful makeup artist who is communicative, thorough, thoughtful and precise. I hired her one week before my wedding, which was during covid. She and I worked through what makeup and brushes to purchase (to be cautious bc sharing makeup during this time). While this is obviously pricey (I bought Charlotte Tilbury makeup for the day), I had peace of mind knowing it was safe and unused AND I got to add this gorgeous makeup to my collection, which I now use daily!

Trial: She came to my apartment to do the trial and was extremely respectful wearing a mask and washing her hands. We did a 2 hour trial and talked about adjustments here and there to the eyes which I really appreciated. She listened to me and gave me exactly what I hoped for which was an amplified version of myself. Additionally, Ann and I chatted throughout and she is so personable, warm and charming.

Day Of: She was also extremely flexible when it came to scheduling for the day of. She already had an appt at 11, and offered to come at 12:30pm but also provided an alternative of arriving at 8am. She explained that the earlier would be better so it didn't feel rushed (our ceremony was at 2pm) and that this would allow the makeup to settle a bit. She offered then to come back for touch ups. Ultimately I went with the earlier session which allowed the makeup to settle that morning as I was getting my hair done. She then came back at 12:30pm and did touch ups free of charge!

Result: my makeup was magnificent. I'm not a vein narcissistic person but with Ann's makeup, I was truly a beautiful elegant bridal version of myself. My husband saw me come down the aisle and sobbed. He later told me he was blown away by how stunning I looked.

All on all, pics are worth a thousand words and my wedding album is simply filled with fond memories (and flawless makeup!!)

 

Dani C.

I've worked with Ann from All Brides New York a couple of times, and most recently for my civil ceremony.  Ann is a great makeup artist, I love her attention to details, understanding clients' needs and style immediately, and making one feel and look absolutely beautiful on the special day.  Ann is professional, considerate and friendly to work with.  Coming from the cosmetic background and currently in the wedding industry, I know I was in good hands with Ann as she has extensive experience in making one look gorgeous!  Ann is amazing and it's always a pleasure working with her for special occasion looks.

 

Clara Y

Ann is the best!  When searching for a makeup artist, it was important to me that they know how to enhance my natural features, while accenting my eyes (I have monolid eyes).  She knew exactly what to do to make me feel beautiful and look the best on my wedding day.  Everyone told me I looked beautiful and I have Ann to thank for it.  My mom also got her makeup done by Ann and she loved it as well!  And you know how hard moms are to please.

On a side note, not only is she an amazing makeup artist, but she is also an amazing person.

 

Lauren Y.

Ann is not only an impressive makeup artist, she's also an incredible person. She was very responsive in the months leading up to my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with my makeup when the day finally arrived. She truly cares about her clients and is receptive to feedback to ensure you feel beautiful. My bridal party couldn't stop raving about Ann. I would hire her again in a heartbeat - she is everything you'd want in a wedding vendor: kind, fun and extremely talented.

 

Alicia D

I hired Ann to do my makeup for my wedding and I could not be happier.  She was professional, cool, and super responsive.  She made my skin look/feel amazing and the makeup looked flawless.  I opted to have her come to the venue for touch-ups (totally worth it) and she went above and beyond helping out during that time before the ceremony while we took photos. Both me and my bridesmaids were sad (well, as much as you can be on the happiest day of your life) when it was time for her to go.   Highly, highly recommend.

 

Morgan S

Not only did Ann do an amazing job on my makeup but she was also so accommodating as I tried to figure out how to get married during a pandemic! She organized a zoom session with me before the wedding and was able to determine exactly what I wanted my makeup to look like. She was also so sweet and fun to hang out on the wedding day. I wish Ann could do my makeup everyday!

 

Sorn Y

Anne is truly an outstanding makeup artist. She really goes above and beyond her clients and is super easy to work with and very responsive! I've used her for makeup trial and my civil ceremony wedding and everyone kept raving about how beautiful I looked. She executed flawless Smokey eye with sultry bronze look. I love her contouring work and her expert knowledge in working with asian features. I felt very confident and beautiful on my big day! Her instagram portfolio reflects her amazing artistry! I loved that she has worked with high profile celebs and models Really shows her advanced skills and experience in the industry. Makeup is one of the most important thing a bride must consider on the wedding day. Remember pictures will last a lifetime. Anne is a quality makeup artist who is worth every penny!. She gets booked quickly so don't wait!

 

Brooke L

Ann is amazing! I cannot gloat about her enough. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful!! She took all my notes and was just to be around when getting ready. You really need someone you can hang out with when getting ready - and she is that person. She did my mom’s and aunt’s as well and again flawlessly done!!

 

Phoebe M

I literally could not wait to write Ann this review. I first found Ann on Instagram and fell in love with her natural style. I searched a long time and am so glad I found her. I wanted to look like myself on my wedding date and so many other artist just could not do this well. Ann however is a natural. What really sets her apart from any other makeup artist is she truly cares and prioritized what worked well for my acne prone skin. I love that she really cares about your skin and ensuring that the products she uses will not make you break out or cause you to be oily/dry.   

 As soon as I connected with her we starting messaging about what I was looking for, my colors, and my style. She listened carefully and during my trial, I felt so comfortable with Ann.  Due to COVID, I had to reschedule my wedding and Ann was so accommodating and helpful. I appreciate her professionalism and her true care for her clients. On my wedding day, I felt like I had a friend there. She made me feel so relaxed and went above and beyond for me, my sister and my mom. She nailed every look and everyone loved my makeup. Even though I have very oily skin, my skin stayed perfect ALL night even during a 97 degree outdoor wedding HEAT WAVE. 

Also, literally minutes before I left for the church my mom and I got very emotional and started crying and I accidentally wiped some of my concealer off. I was so worried but Ann literally jumped on it, fixed everything in 2 secs and even gave me her concealer and brush in case I needed it later. You will NOT find anyone like her that truly cares this much. If this doesn't show you how amazing she is, I don't know what will. 

Ann is the best out there and you do NOT want to go with a "cheaper" option. My makeup really elevated my entire look that day and is the number one thing I would spend money on.  She is worth every penny and more.

It was a blessing to have Ann as my marriage makeup artist. I loved my makeup and it looked beautiful. She is so nice and friendly, punctual and very professional. My makeup was very natural and she really cared about my opinion which most of the makeup artists don't. Highly recommend her.

 

Michelle

I had the pleasure of working with Ann and Jessica this past January for my wedding and they were an amazing duo together. Ann is super responsive with messages and very professional. Her make up held up the entire wedding day and still looked fresh by the end of the night. She not only did my make up but also did my entire bridal party and mother's make up. She made everyone look gorgeous! Needless to say, I'm so glad I found Ann and her team as she made everyone look beautiful on my wedding day! I would highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a wedding make up artist!

Words cannot describe how amazing Ann is! I had a different makeup artist booked for my wedding and waited until the month before to do the trial. It could not have gone worse- she rushed through the trial and the makeup was so caked on that I like a different person. A friend suggested I reach out to Ann and luckily, she was free on the morning of my wedding. Before the trial she asked me about my skin type, which makeup products I normally use, and what my skincare routine is like- questions no other makeup artist has ever asked me. She came to my apartment on the day of the trial and did my makeup as if I was getting married that day. She listened to exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I was amazed at how it didn’t feel like I was wearing any makeup at all. Ann took photos after the trial and we made some tweaks for the wedding day. I will never be able to thank Ann enough so her incredible work and for how beautiful she made me feel on the day of my wedding!

 

Kaitlin W

I cannot say enough about how incredible Ann and her team were. Leading up to our wedding, I had a very difficult time finding a hair and makeup artist that I really loved. Ann (makeup artist) and Jessica (hairstylist) blew me away in my first trial and I was so relieved to have found them. They were fantastic to work with, with quick responses to every text and email. I was indecisive on my hair and during my second trial Jessica was so patient and took the time to try out several different hairstyles with me. I was blown away by their work on our wedding day. Each one of my 6 bridesmaids loved their hair, one even cheered and high-fived Jessica after seeing her finished look. Originally, only 3 of my bridesmaids wanted to get their makeup done, but after they saw how incredible the first girl's makeup was, every one of my bridesmaids asked Ann to do her makeup as well. Ann was so nice about it and got my 3 additional girl's done with plenty of time to spare. I had a diverse bridal party and they truly maid each of us feel beautiful and special. On top of it all, Ann and Jessica are just really wonderful people to be around. They brought such a positive and calming vibe into our bridal suite. From calling down to the front desk when we ran out of champagne flutes to helping my mom steam my wedding dress, they were truly down for anything. Long story short, hire All Brides, you will not regret it!

 

Sandra N

Hiring Ann as my makeup artist was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I browsed her social media page and liked her work so I booked her for a trial. She was so responsive, kind, and easy to work with. During my trial we started off with a more natural look and worked our way up to glam so that I could see and decide which look I liked. I loved the airbrush foundation that she did and she did great shading on my eyes. I then booked her for my wedding day and WOW! Clearly I liked her work during the trial, but on the wedding day it was somehow even better. I’ve never felt so beautiful in my life. I danced so much on my wedding night that I worked up a sweat, but the makeup stayed on perfectly. If I ever have an event where I need professional makeup again I’ll definitely be contacting Ann. She’s very good at what she does and an absolute pleasure to work with.

 

Jean H.

So happy with my decision to book Ann. Aside from being a talented and professional make up artist with acute attention to detail, Ann was very accommodating, quick to respond, easy to talk to, and a great listener. I flew her to Boston from New York because when I saw her work I knew I had to have her! She was self sufficient and reliable which made it easy for me on my big day. I was targeting an Asian makeup artist since I’m Asian myself and thought because of our shared physical traits, that she would be able to enhance my features from a place of familiarity. And she did, and the results were beyond what I had hoped for! What I learned and what makes Ann even more desirable is that Ann can work on any face and do magic. She did my sister, my MOH, my mom, mother in law, and aunt which spanned a range of ages and features. And she absolutely nailed all our looks. They were all so happy and felt just beautiful. Ann went the extra mile in so many ways beyond just being my make up artist and I won't forget it. And did I mention she made me feel and look absolutely beautiful? I highly recommend Ann so just stop your search now and hire her.

 

Sarah L.

Best of the best! I was hesitant to hire a makeup/hair artists to do my bridal look (due to finances 🙄), but I don't regret any part of hiring Ann from All Brides NY. I found her page while browsing Yelp and it was such a stroke of luck! Ann is simply great. From her uplifting demeanor to her punctuality, everything about my experience with her was fantastic. I can't thank you enough, Ann, for all of your hard work and kindness! I wish I could recall the name of your hair stylist because she was just as great!

 

Sible

I had a trial with Ann pretty last minute after 2 mishap trials! Ann was great to work with and actually listened to me! I felt glamorous but still like myself. I have Indian acne prone skin and did airbrush for my wedding. I’ve had my makeup done many times before but Ann was exceptional at making my skin glow!

 

Mary S

There aren't enough positive words in the dictionary to express just how wonderful, amazingly talented, and perfect Ann and her team are. I found Ann after a series of horrible make-up trials - I was in my last year of law school studying for finals, getting ready for a move, raising a new puppy, and also planning a wedding for 150 of our closest friends and family in another city. I was almost about to give up when I came across All Brides, and more specifically, Ann. All I can say is WOW - I was in tears after seeing just how beautiful she made feel and look both during my trial and my wedding day! Ann is more than just an exceptional makeup artist and hair stylist - she is a therapist, a hype woman, and your go to for anything related to beauty! 

For me to be able to really explain just how amazing she is, requires that I provide some context as to what she was up against: Ann and her team got all of my 8 bridesmaids, both my mother and mother-in-law, a flower girl, as well as myself ready for my wedding in 4.5 hours. Each and every single girl/woman was given full attention - their complexion, idiosyncratic needs and desires, ethnic diversity, and most importantly, creative desires were given FULL consideration. The bridesmaids ranged from backgrounds from all over the world, including: German, Jewish, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Anglo-American. How is it possible for someone to be able to make every single girl feel like it was just wasn't just about the bride on this special day, but about every single one of them? Well, leave it up to Ann because she is honestly a magician! 

For me, as the bride, the most important thing was that this day was shared with my bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law - Ann was the driving force behind why my wedding day was as special as it was! Her talent is unparalleled, her patience and kindness is simply unbelievable, and lastly, her ability to make you feel and look like a princess on your special day is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. If you still haven't booked a makeup artist/hair stylist, you really do not have to look any further. Thank you Ann for making a girl's dreams come true!

 

Erika M.

Ann was beyond fantastic and everything I could have asked for in a make up artist for my wedding day! She listened to everything I wanted in terms of make up style and product and executed it perfectly. Currently being in the modeling industry, I meet a lot of make up artists and I can certainly say Ann is one of my favorites. I am very particular and picky with how I like my make up done and I was pleasantly thrilled after my trial and even more so on the big day. Thank you Ann!!!

 

Sho T.

Ann is the queen of soft, glamorous and tasteful makeup! I could not have been in better hands on my wedding day. She was so warm and friendly during the trial, open to my thoughts and hadvery helpful suggestions. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and at ease on my wedding day and got along so well with my whole family and bridal party. I knew I wanted to have a natural glow for my wedding look and Ann got it perfectly! It didn’t feel like I had too much makeup on at all and she was there to touch it up throughout. I can’t give her enough praise, she’s a total rockstar!

 

Melissa S.

Ann was incredible and so professional! I recently got married and had a discouraging trial with a different make-up artist. As my wedding date was approaching I became nervous that I would not be able to find someone. Ann was the answer to my prayers. She was so responsive to my questions and emails and she did an incredible job doing my make-up as well as my mother and sister's. She even covered-up my tattoo! She was always on time and I received so many compliments on my wedding day about how lovely my make-up looked. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for the sweetest and most talented make-up artist.

 

Doreen H

Ann (owner/makeup artist) and Jessica (hairstylist) were the All Brides Dream Team to work with! They made me, my mother and mother-in-law, and my five bridesmaids look and feel our best on the day of my wedding. I was looking for a makeup artist who knew how to do Asian makeup well, and Ann is super talented and can do it all- my bridal party was a multi-racial mix, and everyone loved loved loved how Ann and Jessica made them feel beautiful and also made them feel like themselves. Ann was such a great listener and understood that I didn’t want my makeup to look too heavy (I barely wear makeup on a daily basis)- I wanted it to look natural and just slightly enhanced for the day/pictures. She nailed it! And Jessica is so incredible with hair! Both Ann and Jessica were super professional and flexible throughout the whole wedding planning process and my gals and I had the BEST time getting ready with them on the morning of my wedding- they are not only super talented, but also super kind and fun! Look no further for the dream team in makeup and hair!

 

 Janine Z.

I just got married a few weeks ago and had Ann do mine and my girls makeup. Honestly, makeup was the thing I was worried about the most because it's very important to me. Ann did the most amazing job. I had a very diverse bridal party and everyone looked incredible. I would hire Ann again and again. She's the best.

Reviews from January, 2019

2 words: HIRE ANN! 
I used Ann for my engagement photo shoot back in May since I had a sunrise shoot in Brooklyn. It's fairly difficult to find a good makeup artist that can make you look that beautiful so early. I ended up booking her for my wedding (this past December) after a long search. The only reason I was hesitant to book Ann again was due to her pricing. However, let me tell you it is 100% worth it. She is the sweetest person that'll make sure you feel and look like an absolute queen!! My bridesmaids and mother's absolutely loved her work and would probably hire her again if they ever needed a MUA. Don't be afraid to tell her exactly what you want too- she's super easy to talk to, understanding, and willing to do whatever to make sure you are happy! Thank you Ann for making me feel the prettiest I've ever felt on my special day.


Review from May,2018 

Ann is an absolute LIFE saver ! I had a sunrise shoot on a Friday morning and had the hardest time finding a great makeup artist to come to our hotel at 4 in the morning. While I was looking for makeup artists, it was also important to find an artist that is familiar with asian faces. 

Ann had a great portfolio, and was actually recommended by my photographer (Monika Eisenbart). I felt comfortable enough to trust she'll do exactly what I want, and wasn't afraid to also suggest some changes. Ann was easy to talk to and work with. Thank you so much Ann!!!! Our photos came out amazing thanks to you!!

Ann and her team absolutely made my wedding!! They were fabulous to work with - they came early, stayed late and made sure every single one of my bridesmaids was happy with their hair and makeup - all with a happy-go-lucky and positive attitude. I am a picky bride who gets her hair done a lot via Glamsquad and other NYC services and cannot say enough about Ann and her fabulous team. They are next level! You MUST book them for your event!

Ann is a true talent and a delight to work with. She is incredibly responsive and made the entire experience, start to finish, incredibly stress free. She added a calm presence to a hectic day and was prompt, professional and created very individual looks that accentuated our natural features. We were sad to remove our makeup at the end of the day! We were so impressed by her work and would not hesitate to book her again.

Ann is absolutely phenomenal.  Not being from NYC, I had no idea where to start finding someone for hair and makeup for my wedding day, and I'm SO glad I found All Brides New York.

From the beginning Ann was super easy to work with, and very up front about the cost.  We organized everything over text, and if I had any questions she was extremely quick to respond.  I had 9 ladies to get through hair and makeup in a very short amount of time on wedding day, and they did it like it was no big deal :).  She brought a few extra staff members, and they blasted through!  We had varied features and hair types, including Latin, Asian and Caucasian and everyone looked flawless. Also Vanessa is an amazing hair stylist who did wonders with my thick Puerto Rican hair, it is wise to heed all of her advice!

Needless to say, everyone looked AMAZING!!  And so natural!  Everyone at the wedding asked me where we got our hair and makeup done.  I would highly recommend All Brides New York as the right choice for any event!

 

Marisa R

I had been through 4 makeup trials before I found Ann. I’m not a picky person at all, however makeup was the one thing that was very important to me on my wedding day. No matter how many times I would tell artists I wanted my makeup look natural, I always ended up looking like a clown or orange. When I finally found Ann, she came right over and did a trial for me. It was the biggest relief. I’ve actually never seen makeup done so well before... 

she is so talented at knowing what products are right for your skin and matching your skin tone. She left me feeling so confident and beautiful and the day of the wedding I had people asking non stop who did the makeup for myself and the bridal party. I really can’t say enough good things about how talented she is... and her personality is exactly the kind of personality you want to have around you while getting ready on your wedding

When looking for a makeup artist for my wedding day, I wanted someone that could work with Asian features and that would be able to achieve the glamorous and natural bridal look I wanted. After going through a few makeup trials, I was getting frantic that I wouldn’t be able to find the right person, until I found Ann. She listened and understood what I wanted and I felt like we were on the same page. Her pricing is fair, if a little more than I was hoping to spend. However, it was important to me to look my best on my wedding day, so it was definitely worth it for me. We set up a makeup trial months before the wedding and it went perfectly. She understood that I wanted to look done-up, but not overly so, and still look like myself. I was so relieved that I finally found the right makeup artist for me and decided to use her for my engagement photos as well. 

She arrived super early the day of our engagement shoot, and did an amazing job, even covering up my puffy allergy eyes. The photos turned out beautiful and largely thanks to her! 

On the day of the wedding, she showed up with her hair stylist, Vanessa, right on time. They worked calmly and stayed on schedule the whole day. Having been in friends’ weddings, this isn’t always the case, and falling behind schedule can cause unnecessary stress—the last thing you want on your wedding day. My bridesmaids, mother, and future mother-in-law all loved their looks. As for me, I couldn’t have been more happy with how everything turned out. My makeup and hair looked flawless and also lasted the entire day and night, all the way through until after the after-party. I can’t wait to see how our photos turn out, but I’m sure they will look great. Thanks for all your hard work, Ann

Ann is an amazing person. I searched for several weeks to find someone who can do my pre-wedding photoshoot not too girly or pretty, but somehow special and artsy and her makeup came out really nice!!! Everyone who saw my pictures said that they love my hair and makeup. I'm so glad that I met her since she is so sweet and easy to work with and also, professional!! And also, she exactly knew what kind of makeup I want by showing her some inspiration photos before I get the makeup. She has tons of experience in fashion and bridal photo shoot, so you can't never go wrong!.

I was initially overwhelmed with the number of make up artists that were in NYC, but after doing some research, I decided to go with Ann for my city hall wedding and I was extremely happy with the outcomes! Not only did she listen to my requests and concerns and execute it perfectly, she was extremely professional (especially in terms of punctuality, communication, etc) throughout the whole process and made this experience stress-free for me.

Ann did my bridesmaid make up at a friend's wedding, and then my bridal make up at my own wedding. Both times she was so, so easy to work with - really nice, accommodating and so, so, talented. I absolutely loved both looks! I can't recommend Ann enough!!

I hired Ann to do my bridesmaids and family's make up for my wedding day and I couldnt be happier with my decision. She listened to what each and every girl wanted and even knew that mother's tend to want a wee bit less and everyone walked away soooooo happy with their look. She was kind, courteous, and so extremely professional. If i could get married all over again, i would and I would definitely hire Ann again!!!

I found Ann through Yelp when I was looking to work with a makeup artist who knew how to do makeup on asian brides. I have been to several friends/family's weddings in the past and had makeup artists who had no idea how to apply makeup on asian features. Some of you may know what I mean when I say that you can't use the same techniques of applying makeup (especially eyes!) on such different features, such as hooded/monolids versus deep-set/ double eye-lids.  

I reached out to Ann because she had such great reviews, and straight off the bat, she was responsive and super friendly. We met for a makeup trial months before the wedding and she was so sweet and open to hearing about how I wanted my bridal makeup. She got me right away and I was so excited to work with her from the start! 

On the wedding day, Ann was a dream to work with. She has such a wonderful and calm demeanor about her that as soon as she started to do my makeup, I just felt so relaxed and my anxiety subsided. What can I say, she did an AMAZING JOB. The makeup was flawless and I was just in awe of how she made my make-up look both, natural and glamorous! I was so thrilled! Oh, and I also was recovering from a cold-sore that popped up just a few days before the wedding (YES, a bride's worst nightmare! I get them at times when I'm really stressed/not getting proper sleep! ugh) and she miraculously made it disappear with makeup magic. I was so relieved and so happy with my whole look. 

I recommend EVERY bride to work with Ann because she is true professional at what she does. The makeup lasted ALL NIGHT (and i mean ALL NIGHt until we got back to our hotel at 3am). Our wedding photos look amazing, thanks to her amazing work! Thank you so much, Ann!

Ann did an amazing job with the makeup for my wedding!!! It was my first time working with a professional, and she listened to what I wanted - but also wasn't afraid to make suggestions about what styles would work best for me. The end result was perfect - a natural (but polished) style that still looked "like me".

I just wanted to say thank you for organizing my hair and make up for my wedding yesterday and sincerely for being so professional to work with. There's so much to keep track of on the big day and Ann arrived early and worked hard all day. 
She was very kind she clearly knew what she was doing, keeping the style elegant.The end result ended up being much more perfect than what I originally was looking for your services were incredible and I felt so beautiful.

Ann was fantastic- she is a true professional and listened to exactly what I said I did and didn't like.  I've had some bad makeup experiences before with artists who wanted to put excessive amounts of eyeshadow and bronzer on me despite my asking to look 'natural'.  Ann actually listened to everything I was saying and made me look beautiful but also I looked like myself.  She also put on some amazing eyelashes that lasted me an extra 3 days.  Would highly recommend her for your wedding or any other event!

Ann is one of the most professional, attentive and organized vendors I worked with for my wedding. She was always quick to respond to questions/concerns (24 hours or less). Her website made it easy to keep track of services/payments.  

She did a great job for my makeup trial and was able to switch the look  based on my preferences. She was fast and efficient on the big day! My bridal party and I are a diverse group and she was able to work well with multiple different skin tones and conditions.

Ann was recommended to me by a friend who got her bridal makeup done by her. She was a great recommendation!

I worked with Ann for my elopement in 2017, and was so excited to work with her for big family celebration this spring! She is amazing! She worked seamlessly on my family with a variety of skin tones and make-up preferences! She is so sweet and easy to work with. The make-up looks flawless in all the photos, and I am so happy to have had the chance to work with her again! I can't say enough good things!

I was so lucky to discover Ann and All Brides for a NYC elopement. She is sweet, responsive, punctual, and... most importantly...extremely talented. The thing I appreciated the most was how much I felt she truly listened to me and worked with me to achieve my dream. As someone who doesn't wear make up normally, it was crucial to feel like myself. I felt stunning at my wedding!

Ann was incredible! From the first time I spoke to her up until the day she did my makeup and hair for my engagement pictures, she was so reliable and dependable. She always responded quickly and I knew from the start I would want her to work on me. I highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again for hair and makeup. She is amazing!

Amazingggggg!!! I am incredibly lucky to have found Ann. What an absolute talent to work with! I found her after a disastrous wedding makeup trial and after I told her about that experience SHE apologized for someone else's unsatisfactory work. She was extremely attentive to my needs and concerns and really made me feel at ease. My wedding day makeup lasted through tears sweat and more tears all hours of the day! I highly recommend her and her flawless work for any and all occasion!

I just want to thank you so much for the wonderful job you did on my makeup for the gala night, I really loved. It was very natural which was exactly what I had wanted, and it lasted all night too.

Being a person that has no clue about makeup, Ann has not only done my makeup, but she has also given me tips on how to contour and highlight and what kind of makeups that fit my look. Ann takes her work very sincerely and is very creative. She will tell you what works and what doesn't.

I couldn't have been happier on the night and would highly recommend Ann to anyone who is looking for a professional make-up artist for their wedding or any special occasion. It was a pleasure to have you on that evening.

Thank you so much again.

Had such a greatexperience with Ann -- I was nervous about doing an online video interview andshe came to my house and did my make-up so I looked great.  I told her Iwanted to look natural, like me only better and she completely delivered.  
She is great at getting back to you; very responsive and completely willing to make it work in your schedule.  Iwould use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.

Ann is easily one of the most talented makeup artists I know. I'm a fashion filmmaker and photographer, and she is my go-to makeup artist for important jobs. She is incredibly easy to work with. Not only is she great at creating amazing looks based on her years of experience, but she also takes direction extremely well and is always happy to take the makeup in whatever direction you want. Whether it's simple and natural or something more complex for editorial photoshoots and films, Ann is able to handle a wide diversity of faces and styles. I highly recommend her your makeup needs!
