Brooke's make-up artistry was amazing! The make-up she provided lasted me from 9am in the morning to 12 midnight. I had to only reapply my lipstick, but that too was provided by Brooke. Overall, she was nice to all my friends and family and confident in her work. I would recommend Brooke to any bride that wants someone to do professional make-up work on the day of their wedding for half the price!

Brooke was AMAZING! Never in my life have I felt as beautiful and glamourous as I did on my wedding day- which is exactly how every bride SHOULD feel! I'm not one to wear a ton of make up on a daily basis, so I didn't want to overdo it on my big day. Brooke listened to exactly what I wanted and during the trial even tried out a couple of different looks without batting an eye. She was extremely accomodating and professional and so easy to get along with. Brooke applied make up for a few of my bridesmaids as well- they were also beautiful! Our make up lasted all day- the only touch ups I needed were my lips, and Brooke provided me with some lip color to keep! It's my new favorite :) The lashes were great- I even fell asleep with them still on and everyone at breakfast the next morning was so impressed with my luscious lashes! I highly recommend Make Up By Brooke.

I booked Brooke for my June 2010 wedding. We did a trial before our engagement photo shoot, and I was able to see how well her make up translated in photos. Plus, it lasted all day long on our shoot around Georgetown. She is extremely professional, and listened to my specific requests. I wanted to use a mineral foundation, and she accommodated my request without a blink of an a eye! On my wedding day, Brooke was extremely relaxed and even provided me with a MAC lip gloss for touch-ups between photos, the ceremony, and the reception. I would absolutely recommend Brooke's services to anyone looking for a talented makeup artist for their wedding. She is outstanding!

Brooke was amazing! My makeup and my bridesmaids makeup looked absolutely wonderful at my wedding. She is very reasonably priced as well. It was easy to establish a trial even with my hectic schedule. She covered one of my tattoos with ease. She was on time, professional, and a lot of fun to work with. I highly recommend her to every future bride.

Brooke was fabulous. On our wedding day, she showed up early to set up and made us all look beautiful. My mother looked amazing..it was so great to see her that way. I wanted very natural make up and Brooke did exactly that. I felt great and looked great thanks to Brooke. She accomodated everyone's unique needs and was an absolute pleasure to work with and be around. I highly recommend Brooke to any bride.

Brooke is awesome and I highly recommend her! Not only is she a talented makeup artist, she's very easy to work with and is a super nice person! Brooke did my makeup as well as three others in the wedding party. We got our makeup done around noon for a 5pm wedding with the reception following. I was concerned that my makeup wasn't going to last all day/night but Brooke assured me that it would and she didn't let me down! After dancing the night away on a hot May day, my makeup still looked great right up to the end of the night! I didn't even have to touch it up once!! I received compliments all day about my makeup. She made me look simply beautiful! Another plus is that Brooke uses MAC cosmetics. I had heard great things about MAC but had never used it. I am definitely a fan now! Quality products!! Brooke also provided me with MAC lipstick & gloss for touch ups later. Thank you Brooke, job well done! : )

Brooke was a pleasure to work with. She was on time and worked quickly to get the whole wedding party done in time for photos! We all looked great! Our make-up looked natural without being overdone. Just right!

Brooke was such a pleasure to work with. She does fabulous work and I was extremely pleased with my Wedding Day Make Up. I know the bridesmaids were please as well. Brooke is a true professional and has a knack for knowing what will look good on you. I did two trials with Brooke and wound up going with her suggested look versus my own. I will continue to recommend her to friends and family for their weddings and I will continue to use her for special events.

Brooke was amazing and I highly recommend her! She did makeup for eight bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and myself. Everyone looked beautiful and was very pleased with their makeup. We got lots of compliements on our makeup at the wedding! Brooke was very reliable and even showed up early at the hotel to set up-which was very comforting for me! She has been extremely responsive to emails regarding questions I had leading up the wedding.

I found Brooke a little over a month before my wedding after experiencing some problems with another makeup artist and boy am I glad I found her! Brooke is not only talented, but she has a calming presence that is very important on the wedding day. My bridesmaids absolutely loved their makeup. My makeup lasted throughout the evening and the pictures turned out fantastic. If you are still interviewing/shopping for a makeup artist..stop now and go with Brooke! She also gives you lipstick to keep for touching up throughout the evening which is VERY important throughout the evening with eating, drinking you'll be doing. She's awesome!!!

Brooke was amazing and made everyone look naturally beautiful for my wedding. My bridesmaids who don't wear makeup were shocked at how natural it was and how amazing they looking without feeling as if they had tons of layers of caked on makeup on their faces. My makeup lasted all day. From eating lunch and dinner to crying during the ceremony and dancing the night away. She made everyone comfortable and interacted well with everyone present. For being one of the most stressful days of my life so far, Brooke made a point to make sure she had a calming effect on everyone present getting ready! She's amazing!!I would use Brook again in a heartbeat if I need makeup done for a special event.

Brooke made everyone look absolutely fabulous! She was very easy to work with, on time, and knows exactly what she is doing. My make-up held up through the entire night - no smudges or eye shadow creases. I never had to worry about how I looked. She did a fantastic job!

Brooke is an amazing makeup artist that I would highly recommend for any brides who are getting married. The day of my wedding she arrived 15 minutes earlier than what she was contracted. She was able to accomodate for the 2 unexpected guests who needed make up done without advance notice and did a phenomenal job! During my wedding ceremony as well as the reception, not only did I received numerous raves on my makeup but all of my bridesmaids as well. From beginning to end, she was professional, accomodating, enthusiastic, and also a lot of fun!

Brooke was my makeup artist for my wedding that was on Oct. 10, 2008. I was referred to her by my mother who knows her aunt. I thank my lucky stars that I got a hold of her business card because she does a fantastic job. My first meeting with Brooke was great. We conducted my makeup trials, and I immediately felt comforted that I had the best around! She was professional, and welcoming at the same time. She is very organized, wrote everything down-to the product, the shade, and how it was applied. I also liked that she used a popular brand of makeup-MAC. The day of my wedding she was, of course, on time. At the end of my makeup application, she informed me she had a sick child at home. I could'nt believe that she still came to ensure my makeup was flawless for my wedding. That's what makes me give Brooke high recommendations! Brooke is truly a pleasure to work with!!!! I highly suggest you use her if you want quality, relatively affordable service!

Brooke is an amazing make-up artist! She is professional, fun, and prompt. Some of my bridesmaids were worried they would “look like drag queens” but Brooke gave the girls a natural beautifully glowing look. As a bride I didn’t think I could look so good! Brooke uses the best products and takes time listening to what you want.. I would most definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.

Brooke was amazing. My makeup held up beautifully. She managed the perfect balance of natural and glamarous and the make up looked equally good on film and in person. She made the most wonderful suggestions - I still use the lipstick she recommended! She is also so amazingly sweet and professional. She put my mom, who was nervous about having her make up done for the first time in her life, at total ease. She and her sister were also able to accomodate myself, my mother, four bridesmaids, and two aunts in a few hours. I would highly recommend Brooke.

Brooke was exceptional to work with. She was very flexible, coming to my home for both the initial trial and the wedding day. She was prompt and professional. My entire bridal party was very happy with her "work". I recommend her without reservations.
