I cannot thank Kara and the BFF team enough for their help with my wedding day. I had two trials with another company that left me so worried about my day of look. Just three weeks before the wedding I decided I needed to go in a different direction. I called Kara up in a panic hoping she would be able to help with my short notice wedding on a holiday weekend. Kara was so communicative and helpful during this time. She listened closely to my previous experiences and my beauty vision. She reached out to her team and was able to find two amazing artists who would be available to help. They scheduled a trial for the next week and the trial was perfect! I was again so excited for my big day knowing I was in the right hands. Kris gave me amazing waves that lasted through the heat and humidity of the entire day and night. Priscilla gave me a soft makeup look with the most comfortable lashes I have ever worn. Together they created my dream glam and I could not be more grateful. If you are considering hiring the BFF team for your wedding you will not regret it. They are knowledgeable, communicative, and truly care about their clients. They will be able to give you your dream glam look too. Thank you Kara, Kris and Priscilla

From our first communication, they were friendly, warm, and very responsive, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for.

PLEASE DIRECT ALL INQUIRIES TO MY WEBSITE Born & raised an "Air Force Brat," Christine has lived in various places from California to Germany. From a young age she knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry & followed her dreams by receiving her cosmetology license & attending the master class at the prestigious Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC. Working with brides has brought Christine so much joy, being involved in such an important part of someone’s life long memories is more than just makeup. Wedding days pass in the blink of an eye but the way you felt, and the photos you hang on your walls, will last a life time.

Awarded Best of Zola
LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!

Hello My Name is Chelsea Marie I am a Professional Makeup Artist with over 13 Years of Experience. Although I have been in this industry for many years I believes it’s not the number of years that sets me apart from others but the amount of knowledge I have gained over the Years. I am a trusted artist not only in Virginia but all over the United States. I have built and continue to build a large specialty in many fields of Makeup. My goal is to help every Bride accomplish their dream look while still allowing their true beauty to glow through.

I hired Chelsea for my wedding make up and it was the best decision that I could’ve made. At the initial trial, she was able to make adjustments as needed. On the day of my wedding, she made me feel absolutely beautiful. My make up was so beautiful that I did not want to take it off! I actually kept it on overnight. My make up was able to last from morning through morning. It stayed in place and looked incredible through a ton of sweating, rain and sun (yes, it was sunny and raining). Chelsea and her team made not only myself, but my bridesmaids feel and look their absolute best. She paid very close attention to detail, she was very prompt with time, and made sure that we all loved our looks. I would absolutely hire Chelsea Marie for any event where I need to look amazing. She has so much experience with different skin types, textures, features etc. She WILL make you feel like a million dollars.

When the day arrived, Kait & Rachel both were early, set up quickly, and kept us ahead of schedule the entire day. They truly added so much warmth and excitement to the bridal suite. They both took the time to listen to each girl’s vision and asked clarifying questions to ensure everyone was on the same page. All of our hair & make up lasted ALL DAY despite the heat & humidity.

I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Chyerl was sooooo amazing with me. She made me feel so safe and confident that my hair was going to look amazing all evening for my wedding. I have 2C curls and she wasn’t afraid of them at all. She was in fact overjoyed at the chance to work with me. I have a lot of hair and it’s very very long and she even dyed it to make sure it was the best it could look. She also did a trimming to get rid of dead ends. It was truly an amazing experience. I will always go to her for any needs and I could not recommend her enough for my curly haired people.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

I highly recommend Artistry by Marquita! My wedding makeup, created by Marquita, was absolutely beautiful but didn't turn me into someone unrecognizable. During the trial run, the hair stylist, Mona, took my vague description of "Game of Thrones but maybe a bit Jane Austen?" and gave me a gorgeous braided updo. On the wedding day, Marquita and Mona arrived on time and finished hair and makeup for me and the ladies in our wedding party (who also looked fabulous) with time to spare. They were kind, responsive, and collaborative throughout. It was great to work with both of them and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

We are an award winning talent agency composed of the beauty industry’s best. Each artist is carefully selected for your wedding based on their many years of experience, awards, education, licensing, talent and attention to detail. Now you can get ready in the comfort of your home, hotel or wedding venue instead of traveling to a salon or makeup counter. The benefits of working with an agency vs. a solo artist is that in the event of an emergency we are likely to have a replacement artist for you in addition to providing you with immediate correspondence.

RefEYEance had great communication throughout the booking process and had thorough coordination with Holly. Holly, the hair and makeup artist, was a dream to work with for our wedding day. She was so lovely at our trial and was open to any changes I wanted (really didn't have much). Holly was also so understanding when I decided to do my own hair, which wasn't a reflection of her work at all -- just wanted to feel like myself on the big day. We ended up having her do my makeup, two bridesmaid's hair and makeup, and my mother's hair. Everything was perfect. Holly is so personable and professional, and helped make the morning of the wedding calm and stress-free. The quality of her work was beautiful and everything on time. I highly recommend RefEYEance and especially Holly to any couple planning their wedding!
