I live in CA but am planning a wedding in NJ so booking vendors is tricky since I won't be in NJ again until March. The wedding is in June. Almost everything is chosed except makeup (and videography, but that's another issure entirely.)I'm considering going with Jillyan eventhough she's a bit above my budget ($150, I had budgeted $100) but at least she includes eyelashes. Has anyone used her or is planning to use her? Do you have another reccomendation? I'm looking for someone who does good natural/fresh looks because I don't wear makeup everyday. Thanks!!!

    Contact Adhari from Gloss and Shadow. She is simply amazing! I love her. Her prices are on her website. Tell her that Alaina recommended her to you. [url]http://glossandshadow.com/[/url]</br>Here are some of my pro pics where you can see my makeup. [url]http://tinyurl.com/l2x8rl/[/url]

    I had a trial with her. I liked it at first, but it came out poorly in photos. I also had airbrushing and it was weird and kinda crumbly on my skin after a few hours, highlighted all the little baby hairs...not good. I'm not sure if my skin and airbrush just don't make an attractive couple or if it's her makeup/application.I am going with Cristina R. [url]http://njmakeupartist.com/[/url]A lot of girls have posted good trial photos with makeup done by Gina Brozon. I don't have her info (I'm sure someone here does) but she seems like she's got the natural thing down.

    I had my makeup done by Jillyan for my brothers wedding and was very happy. The airbrush worked well for me and as a bridesmaid I got airbrush and eyelashes for only $65, which I thought was a good price.

    Hey check out Lauren from Expert Makeup Artistry.  I believe she's less expensive, though I don't remember what I paid.  She came to my house and did me and all my girls, and then did my mom as well last minute because my mom started her day off rough.www.expertmakeupartistry.com she's really talented, and an awesome person to work with.  makes you really comfy the day of.  I believe she'll travel to you for trial too. (well not to cali, but...if you were visiting nj!)

    I was supposed to use Jillyan for my wedding....but she had a family emergency that week so she had one of her colleagues, Johanna, do my make-up the day of my wedding.   My trial with Jillyan was great, and despite the change I was so happy with my wedding day make-up.
