Annie Greenfield                                                                                                                                    I got married in October of last year, and unfortunately am just now getting around to write this review of how amazing Lip Service was! Shari is so wonderful! She is extremely flexible, accomodating and professional.  She came to my house to do my trial and chatted with my mom and one of my girlfriends :) I had changed my mind between my trial and wedding day about how i wanted my makeup and she was so fexible in my change! She also was so patient in dealing with my terrible wedding coordinator.  I had 6 bridesmaids and 2 moms getting their hair and makeup done and every single one of them loved it! She was very timely, arrived right on time and was cool under pressure when one of the girls decided to change her hair style after she already had it done.  I absolutely loved my hair and makeup, it was exactly what i had wanted! I highly reccommend to her anyone getting married and is looking for an amazing and professional artist :)


Jessica Yick                                                                                                                                       Shari did a FABULOUS job for my girl's wedding. All the bridesmaids had their own individual make-up in mind and Shari  made us all look fabulous each in our own special way! I'm a total dunce when it comes to make-up so I didn't want to be too overdone, but the pictures came out gorgeous and I got soooo many compliments! For once my false eyelashes stayed put and my make-up didn't need ANY touching up the whole night! Beautiful but fresh! She was friendly, fun, and we all had the best time getting pampered. Not to mention her cool ass chair! And she has the greatest tips too! I will totally go back to Shari =) Thanks girl!!!

I'm so grateful to have Shari as my makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding.  She is sooo nice, friendly, funny, talented, easy to work with, and a pro at eye shadow blending! Makeup & hair that will last you all day!

TRIAL DAY
We did a trial at my place and planned it perfectly on the same day as my bridal shower.  I'd suggest you plan your trial the same day as your engagement shoot, bridal shower, or just make sure you make plans to go out somewhere fun to show off your beautiful self! I had cut outs of magazines showing various makeup & hairstyles that I liked. The total look turned out great and made just minor tweaks: picked different eyelashes and wanted to add more of a tan/sun-kissed glow.  We took pictures to help us determine what things need to be changed a little bit and the outcome...

WEDDING DAY
B-E-A-UTIFUL! I looked exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day! Pale pink lip, contouring with a tan mineral powder, fluffy/short/natural looking eyelashes,  bronzey eye shadow, and the hair...romantic, old Hollywood waves. Loved it to pieces, everything about it! Shari was really receptive to how I wanted to look and didn't try to force anything that I didn't want. She made sure I felt confident and loved the way I look, which is extremely important.  She also did the make-up for my 4 bridesmaids and they loved it as well.

Most makeup artists & hair stylists are really persistent on how they want you to look and sometimes you don't want to be rude, so you just go along with it.  It's important to find someone like Shari who is very knowledgeable of what will look good on you, will give her input, but will still respect the way you want to look. After all it's your wedding day, so you want to look your best.  Shari uses top of the line makeup and hair products from MAC, Makeup Forever, Kerastase, Hot Tools, T3, Fekkai, etc.  Trust me, you'll love Shari!

Shari = Amazing! Would trust this girl with my life - which, let's be honest, that's kinda what the bride/makeup artist relationship boils down to! Shari was amazing to work with from the get-go.  She did my hair and makeup (and my MOH's, and Mom's) on my special day. I got comps left and right on both, so did Mom and my MOH.  Super professional.
On day of, Shari came with the jams and the best 'tude ever, super calm and in control. I immediately felt at ease. I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Lip Service. Shari was such a pleasure to work with. She really has an amazing eye for what will make you look beautiful. She is extremely talented and professional. I highly recommend Lip Service.

Stefani
Shari is fabulous. First of all, she is very professional. She always responded immediately to my emails and calls. She is friendly and polite, too! But most importantly, my makeup looked beautiful. I received NUMEROUS compliants throughout my wedding day, and my makeup looked great in all the photos! As an added bonus--she'll travel to you for both the trial and the actual wedding day! I highly recommend Shari!

Lip Service exceeded all my expectations from the very beginning. The artists are professional, punctual, talented and will transform you into a more beautiful you. When I didn't want to trust just anyone on my special day, the ladies were willing to travel to my destination wedding in Mexico. I felt glamorous on my wedding day but, most importantly, I felt like I made good friends.

"I had a great experience working with Shari! She was very accommodating during the entire process, from the trial to the day of the wedding. We were able to do the initial trial at my apartment, which made it very convenient for my busy schedule. Shari always responded to my calls/emails in a timely fashion and was more than happy to help in any way she could to prepare for my big day. For someone that does not wear a ton of make-up, Shari was able to make me look flawless and beautiful in a subtle way in that I still looked like myself. I felt beautiful and comfortable. Surprisingly, I think my make-up lasted longer than I did. I was very happy with the final result and received many compliments. I would highly recommend using Lip Service. They are professional, use quality products, and will make you look amazing for any special event!"
