Holly, owner of A-List Artistry was my make up artist for my engagement photos and wedding day. She is phenomenal and truly a pleasure to work with!! When I told my photographer who I was using, she was thrilled because she said that Holly does (and did for me) a wonderful job where she does not have to touch up skin in photos. My make up looked great through the entire day and my look suited my style very well. Holly was always very responsive and better yet, provided tips (that you would never think of) and an emergency checklist to get your head around some things you need to remember on your wedding day. She is punctual and stuck to the schedule we put together which helped the day start off on the right foot. Holly is super friendly and easy to get along with and also extremely flexible, as our start time for make up changed the week before and she was willing and able to accommodate. She is very talented and versatile in the looks she can provide, however, she does pay attention to the brides overall desired look for the day and does a great job with creating a cohesive look for the wedding party. A- List Artistry charges for a trial, but if you plan in advance you can utilize the trial when you get engagement photos taken, as it worked out great for me! At the trial, Holly made several notes and then she does a sketch of the make up on paper to ensure she is prepared and remembers what you discussed (attention to details). She also will offer advise and will not steer you in the wrong direction! A-List Artistry offers a touch up kit which I recommend as I definitely used. I was very impressed with A-List Artistry, specifically speaking in regards to Holly, and would highly recommend her to anyone! She is someone you will want on your team for your wedding day as she will help you remain calm and put you at ease!

Fall Wedding Makeup with Leah- Frog Pond Bed and Breakfast, Skaneateles NY

I think the best way to blog this bride's experience is through her own words in a review she wrote about us. Five stars is what we strive for and we're glad we delivered!

Holly and her team were recommended to me by my trusted hairstylist and they did not disappoint. They arrived exactly when they promised and were set up promptly without any questions or help from myself or my bridal party (as most brides can attest, having people ask you dozens of questions the morning of your wedding can be a little nerve-wracking--their calmness and professionalism really put me at ease.) Holly and Christina proceeded to complete a total of nine applications--myself, six bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law-- beautifully, flawlessly and right on schedule. Being a less-is-more believer when it comes to everyday makeup I was a bit worried that I would look too "made-up." Holly really understood my concern and I could not have been more thrilled with the result of my makeup--I looked like me, just better. My makeup lasted so well throughout our entire wedding day (12+ hours from the time I got made up to when the reception ended) that I never reapplied even a slick of lipstick the whole day. The lashes Holly used are beyond words. They are so feathery and so beautiful, dozens of women at our wedding were dying to know where I got them and how they could get them too. Another incredible thing about Holly and her team is their versatility. While myself and some of my bridesmaids are minimal makeup wearers, I had some people in my party with very glamorous much more daring makeup styles. They were able to deliver a more dramatic look for those people while still fitting in with the overall look of the bridal party and not taking away from my look as the bride. Work aside, their personalities are so geniune and so nice--they truly are so happy to be a part of your day. I felt nothing but positivity from them and am looking for any excuse I can find to hire them again. Can't say enough good things about them!!

It was pretty chilly in Skaneateles and these girls made the best of it!

It wouldn't be  October in  Upstate New York without a little snow. Yup. Snow.
