Real Weddings

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!

Liz came highly recommended & I knew it would be a match as soon as I met her. She asked how I wanted to look, and even though I did an awful job of explaining, she went to work, and afterward, I sighed with relief, looking at my own reflection in the mirror. She made me look like ME! (except slightly enhanced) I knew I could trust her the day of the wedding. She did such a wonderful job with all my girls and moms. Everything was very natural, meaning they were recognizable. Liz has a real eye for what looks good on people, and is very trustworthy. I had an all day wedding and the makeup stayed put all day, dancing and crying and all!

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!

Liz did my makeup as well as two of my bridesmaids’ and we all looked fabulous. She did a great job of tailoring the look to each of our personal styles and coloring. She did me (very white, freckles and the whole bit), my maid of honor (half Filipina), and another bridesmaid (Korean) – all gorgeous. My poor maid of honor had a terrible bug bite that day that made her look like she had a black eye, but Liz covered it up flawlessly, and the end result was gorgeous.

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!
