Not sure how many want makeup?
No problem, as long as you meet the mininum, usually 4-6, depending on the date, you can sign a contract and hold the date
Want a trial first?
Unfortunately due to the demand for my services, I am unable to offer trial runs with brides who have not already booked my services for the wedding day. The trial run is meant to nail down the details of the wedding look, not to test the skills of the artist. I understand if that does not fit your preferences at this time and wish you all the best. If after looking back over my portfolio, reviews, and awards you decide that we would be a good fit and want to move forward with a contract, please feel free to reach back out to see if I'm still available. I'd love to work with you to craft a look you'll love!
I want airbrush!
Perfect! Here is how I use airbrush makeup: Airbrush makeup goes over a light layer of traditional foundation to seal and add extra coverage. Airbrush is foundation only
I want to book a team that provides both hair & makeup!
I have several hairstylists that own their individual just hair companies that I can send you their direct email. Just ask!
Where do I go for the trial?
I come to you depending on where you are located, there are some areas I do not travel to for trials. The trial location is provided by you, I do not have a studio.
When can I schedule a trial?
Trials are not scheduled Fri-Sun due to weddings. Most are weekday mornings and some evenings. We will make it work!
Can you do large parties?
I can handle up to 12 myself. Reviews are on theknot.com if you are interested in reading about others experience.
What kind of makeup do you use?
A Lot! Several brands, mostly professional brands and some products that are less expensive that I know just hold up well!
A phrase that I hear a lot lately "my cousin is really good at doing makeup, so I think I'll have her do it"
Food for thought- Does she have everyone elses foundation color? How long does it take for her to complete one person? Can she finish several in the allotted time frame? Does she have an entire makeup kit with multiple brushes? Does she have an airbrush machine? Can she safely apply false lashes that stay on? Doing makeup on yourself can feel completely different than doing makeup on someone else and being used to having the energy to complete several people. If you still want your cousin to do just your makeup, that is fine and we can still sign a contract for the rest of the bridal party!
Why do brides usually choose you?
Brides decide to go with me because I can provide the natural look that stays on all day without using too little makeup or much. It is a happy medium that I have customized and created over years of experience. I "makeup" close to 75 ladies a month! The "bridal look" is something I know very well without having to think about what look might need to be created in order to you feel beautiful. Most want clean & even skin, a pop of color in cheeks, nice lashes, a sleek contour eye with maybe a wing, full natural brows and a sassy lip.

Brittany did by wedding makeup for my wedding that was a few weeks ago. She was so nice, friendly, and made sure that everyone loved their look. We did a makeup trial before the wedding as well. My makeup stayed on the whole night and lasted through pictures even with the hot weather. She did the perfect look that was elegant and natural!

Brittany is incredible! She did my makeup, my bridesmaids, MIL and mom's makeup for my wedding on 06/16/23 in MKE. She is very friendly, easy to talk to and open to any feedback to make sure that you LOVE your look! It stayed on all night and looked natural and flawless! Thank you Brittany!

Brittany is simply AMAZING! Brittany is very personable and really listened to the look that I was looking for my big day. -She was accommodating for my trial since I lived out of state and was flying in during a certain weekend. -She completed all THIRTEEN people in the wedding party (including myself) with grace! -Brittany was so fun to have do our make-up and made sure that each and every person was able to get what they were looking for. I HIGHLY recommend Brittany! She is truly a gem in the Midwest!

Brittany was absolutely AMAZING! Every single person in the bridal party, including myself, was beyond happy with their makeup. Would 100% recommend her. She is also super nice, brings a calm presence (which is extremely beneficial on wedding day), is always on time, great at communicating, and overall will make your day run so smoothly!

Brittany made me feel beautiful on my wedding day! After having a horrible trial with someone else, I received Brittany’s name through a friend of a friend and scheduled a trial with her. I loved my makeup after my trial and it looked even better on my wedding day! Brittany listened to what I wanted and didn’t try to push me into trying a makeup look I wasn’t comfortable with. My Mom’s and sister-in-law’s makeup turned out great as well.

Brittany is wonderful! She drove through a snowstorm on the day of my make-up trial. She could’ve canceled & I would’ve understood, but she is so committed to her clients! On wedding day, she came on-site (such a blessing) to do make-up for my large wedding party. She arrives early, and is able to work efficiently in order to get through everyone without needing the help of an assistant, which saves money! I was not feeling well wedding morning, and she was able to bring down my nerves. Everyone was very happy with their make-up. It stayed on all day and night & was not irritating in any way. Some of my bridesmaids are now using her as a vendor for their weddings!

I rarely leave reviews, but Brittany deserves one! She added a very fun and calm presence to my bridal party's morning and finished an HOUR EARLY for the 10 of us. I'm a bride who normally wears minimal makeup and I was apprehensive about looking like myself for my wedding day. Brittany's work made me feel flawless and we all received endless compliments. 0% stress, would 100% recommend!

Brittany is such a wonderful makeup artist! Not only is she incredibly talented and beautifully did natural makeup for me and my bridesmaids, she is also such a kind person. Exactly the type of calming influence you want getting ready the day of. Planning with her was seamless, and she is incredibly prompt in response which is refreshing. I highly recommend choosing Brittany as your makeup artist!

Brittany was the perfect person to do our wedding day makeup. She works very quick and is an expert at what she does. She had 12 girls to do and she had us done way ahead of schedule which made for a seamless day. My bridesmaids and I don’t wear heavy makeup, so I was selective with who I chose. She did an amazing job making us feel beautiful but very natural.

Brittany did a fabulous job on my airbrush bridal makeup! My bridesmaids, mother and grandmother were very happy with their makeup as well. Brittany came onsite to my bridal suite in downtown Milwaukee and was on-time and ready to go. I had a large wedding party, so Brittany did half of my wedding party (about 8 ladies including me) within 3 hours (about 20-30 mins per make up application). Brittany also connected me with her colleague Sara who came onsite to do the makeup for the other half of my bridal party. Brittany and Sara were both wonderful and accommodating the day of, especially when the time slots got wonky when the onsite hair stylists took longer than expected. Brittany seems pretty laid back but really knows her stuff, which was reassuring for an over-prepared, anxious bride. :) She did my trial makeup about 3 months before my wedding and was accommodating when scheduling. I would highly recommend Brittany as a bridal and bridal party makeup artist!

I loved my make up by Brittany! I described the look that I was going for as natural and glowing, and I think she really delivered that for me. She also was able to give my sister a smoky eye and a bolder look, so I know she can do it all!

Brittany is such a talented makeup artist and she made me look so beautiful on my wedding day! She took all of my thoughts and concerns into account when doing my makeup, it was everything I ever dreamed of! She made my whole bridal party look so stunning and she worked so efficiently. She has so much experience with weddings she made all of my worries go away. I cannot say enough good things about her, if you are still looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, I highly recommend Blush by Brittany!

Brittany’s style of make up is so natural yet has that extra pop you need on your wedding day! After getting my makeup done I couldn’t stop looking at myself! I have never felt so confident in my life! I also really appreciate working with Britney because she listens to our requests. I was blown away by her willingness to adjust or add anything that we wanted, even after she was done with you and onto the next person! For instance, If we wanted a little extra eye shadow or wanted something changed she did it without question! Like I said before, she was incredibly timely. Brittany did make up for myself, all of my bridesmaids, and the mother of the groom and mother of the bride. There were a total of nine people that she did make up for and it was incredible how efficient she was! When she says that she can get one person done in 30 minutes she means it. I was so thankful to have found her on The Knot and I highly recommend her as your bridal makeup Artist, you won’t regret it! I promise!

Brittany is SO TALENTED! Not only is she super laid-back but also very efficient. She did a great job of catering each person's makeup look to highlight their best features. As the bride, I loved hardly feeling my makeup and it wore well all day long! At times her email communication was a bit slower but she always showed up promptly and had everything under control. I loved her flexibility in being able to come to my location of choice as well. Highly recommend Brittany and would reach out to her again for any formal event!

I'm so glad I hired Brittany for my August 17, 2019, wedding! She did a fabulous job and was super easy to work with! I was especially impressed with how flexible she was with adjusting my look after we did a trial application. I decided I wanted a more dramatic eye and I emailed her to ask if we could make that adjustment, assuming maybe I would have to schedule another trial. To my happy surprise, she just said "absolutely!" and made some suggestions for how we could amp up my trial look. I LOVED my makeup look on my wedding day and my makeup stayed on through LOTS of happy crying. I highly recommend hiring Brittany for your special day!

Brittany did such an amazing job on mine and my bridesmaid's makeup for our wedding day! Everyone's makeup looked great and stayed in place throughout the night. She arrived on time and was able to complete all 10 girl's makeup in time for pictures before the ceremony. She even came prepared with extra supplies when everyone decided to add eyelashes at the last minute! Overall, Brittany was easy to work with and made getting ready a breeze.

Finding a great makeup artist for my wedding was super important to me. I'm a picky bride who doesn't wear much makeup on a daily basis, and just wanted to look like myself, but better, on our big day. Brittany exceed every expectation I had. I felt beautiful and confident, and everyone could tell I was glowing. Brittany did makeup for me, two bridesmaids and two moms in about two hours - incredibly professional and efficient, which is needed on a busy wedding day. All my girls were beyond pleased, especially my porcelain fair friend who brought her own foundation (other makeup artists shes had in the past don't have her color), but Brittany had every color we needed. Thank you Brittany for making me look and feel like an angel on my big day!

As a person who rarely wears makeup I was very nervous about my bridal look. Brittany listened to my concerns and gave me options that kept me from feeling like I was wearing a mask all day. I loved my look at my trial and Brittany recreated it perfectly on my big day. I felt amazing all day and my makeup still looked great 12 hours later after a long night of dancing! My mom and sister also looked fantastic and were really happy with their looks.

I am so glad I chose Brittany for my wedding makeup! She walked me through the whole process of what to expect for the day of my wedding and was very responsive to any little changes that I thought of between my makeup trial and the big day. She was very easy to stay in contact with and got back to me quickly. As for the makeup, she worked with myself and three others and did a FANTASTIC job! Two of us had airbrush makeup and the other two went with traditional makeup- both looked amazing. I was so impressed by how quickly Brittany worked- she had all four of us done in a little over an hour! I would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for makeup for their wedding or any big event.

Brittany was such a delight to work with! She was very easy going & does amazing work. She came to my house for the makeup trial & did a phenomenal job I knew I choose the right person! I did not want to change a single thing which made me feel at ease on my wedding day! She did my make up along with 5 bridesmaids and we did not feel rushed at all! They all LOVED their make up compared to other weddings they have been in & were so pleased with how professional Brittany was. Highly recommend her :)!

Brittany was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is she kind and understanding, but she does makeup excellently. As the bride, I didn’t wear much makeup. Her knowledge was amazing and during my trial she prepared me with the amount of makeup neccesary for me to wear the amount needed to wear my whole wedding day. I would recommend her to everyone. My entire bridal party was beautiful - just like they looked on their wedding days without the trial.

Brittany immediately took away the anxiety that I had around having my makeup done for my wedding day! She nailed my look on the first trial, so I felt so relaxed on my wedding day. The best compliment came from my husband, who said he loved the makeup because it made me look like the "best version of myself", and not just another made up bride. She did her homework, checked out pictures of me that I sent her and that I posted on social media, so she knew my style. I sent her a few pictures of what I liked too, what my dress looked like, etc. Also, she is FAST!! I love that my bridesmaids and I didn't have to spend all morning having our makeup done. We actually got to enjoy getting ready because Brittany was so quick, but delivered beautiful makeup! I had my makeup done at 9 AM and it still looked AMAZING at 11 PM. The only thing I touched up throughout the whole day was my lip gloss. I got so many compliments on my makeup from men and women. I would book Brittany again in a heartbeat!

Brittany does fantastic work, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She did the makeup for myself, six bridesmaids, and my mom on my wedding day. She works very efficiently, and her work is top quality. Day to day, I wear zero makeup, and I was a little nervous about having my makeup done for my wedding. The trial I did with Brittany put me at ease, she really listened to me, helped me identify what i liked about the photos I showed her, and made me look both natural and much nicer than I normally do! She also advised me to start wearing moisturizer, and recommended some products that I ended up loving, and have continued to do after the wedding (and have noticed the change in my skin!) All of the bridesmaids and my mom looked wonderful as well, and everyone's makeup stayed intact all day. In addition to her incredible skills, Brittany's personality is exactly who you want around the morning of a big day, she is calm and fun and incredibly professional.

I had 3 different makeup trials before (thankfully) I finally came across Brittany! While I did like the other trials, I never found anything I loved. Brittany is incredibly talented on really making you the best version of yourself and her makeup application does not look caked on--which was a big concern of mine with others I had tested out. Also, Brittany is incredibly efficient. I had 9 bridesmaids plus myself and she was finished with all of us within 4 hours and every girl looked flawless. Last but not least, the "on location" services are really hands down; it is SO nice to be able to get ready in the comfort of your home on your big day. Trust me, Give her a try!

Brittany did my wedding on 1/21/17. She did an awesome job with my braidsmaids, my mother, and my makeup. She does a natural look but is great at highlighting features such as eyes. She is honest with questions you have and is very knowledgeable. She is friendly and professional. She is flexible, as she was able to fit one of my braidsmaids in last minute for makeup. She makes everyone in the bridal party look natural and unique. She travels to onsite location, which is helpful on your busy wedding day. I highly recommend Brittany for anyone who needs professional makeup, you won't be disappointed.

Brittany did the make up for myself and my bridesmaid for my August 13, 2016 wedding. She did an amazing job, worked with all of our different skin tones, and gave each girl a unique look that really made them shine. The airbrush make up is great and lasted all day. Brittany was on time, professional and made me feel beautiful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting professional make up for an event.

After a bad makeup trial at the spa recommended by my wedding venue, I frantically started searching online for someone else to do makeup for my wedding. Luckily, I found Brittany. I was immediately impressed by her glowing reviews and portfolio of pretty, happy brides. She came to my house for a trial and worked with me to achieve the natural look I was going for. On my wedding day, Brittany did my makeup, along with makeup for two of my bridesmaids and my mom. The four of us are very different in our makeup styles---from hardly wearing any to liking full coverage. Brittany achieved all of our desired looks perfectly. Our makeup looked flawless, we felt comfortable and beautiful, and we received so many compliments throughout the night. I couldn’t be happier! Brittany is not only a talented makeup artist, she is also fun, easy to work with, and great and communicating/keeping in contact. I highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a makeup artist.

I was married on September 2, 2016 and Brittany did an amazing job on my makeup as well as 9 other ladies! She can make anyone look beautiful and naturally like themselves, from the bridesmaids to the MOB! All ten of us loved her work. We all had airbrush and it was flawless. Brittany came to my house a month before the wedding for the trial, and she listens to exactly what you are looking for. I had such peace of mind getting ready on the wedding day knowing I would look like myself but even more beautiful! Thank you Brittany!
