Brooke did a great job at my wedding. I had particular concerns that as a 'mature bride' I wanted to look good, but not overdone. Brooke listened to everything I had to say, made suggestions and was calm and professional on the day. I enjoyed the practice session too! The bridesmaids looked fantastic and we can't wait to see the photos!

Brooke is amazing. She's quick to respond to emails and was super easy to work with. I had my trial with her and loved the results, and quickly booked her for our wedding. She did my makeup, six bridesmaids, and both moms in a very short amount of time, but waited around an additional two hours for me to get done with my hair (without a single complaint!). My girls absolutely loved their makeup, and couldn't stop talking about how great Brooke was. She is so sweet and easy-going, and her makeup skills are fantastic. My makeup lasted all night, and looked just as good at midnight as it did at 2 PM. Contact Brooke - you won't be let down!

Brooke is an amazing artist! She will bring out the best features of you and make you look so stunning. Anyone, who sees you that day, will be talking about how pretty your makeup is. She is very professional. She will be there on time and finishes on time. She loves what she does so much that will make you so calm and relaxed knowing you are in great hands. All my bridesmaids, moms Aunt and grandmother loved their makeup and told me that they will definitely use her again for any of their occasions. Bottom line Brooke does amazing work and you should have no doubt you will look amazing on your special day!

I got married in June and Brooke did my makeup, as well as my sister in law, my mom’s and my sister ....Brooke is AMAZING!!!! I never felt so beautiful..and my makeup lasted all night, with the look that I always wanted for my special day....My skin was glowing..she did a beautiful look with apricot and bronze colors..I loved it. She used false eyelashes with smoky eyes..I just looked awesome. My mother loved her makeup too! As well as my sister and sister in law, they were gorgeous ! We all had complements the whole night at the wedding....Brooke listened to exactly what I and my family wanted and she made it happen..She is really nice and fun to work with.. exactly what I wanted on the most important day of my life. Thanks Brooke!

I was very happy with the service provided by Makeup by Brooke. Brooke was very helpful all along, and was prompt when I emailed her with questions. She came onsite the morning of my wedding and did my makeup, along with a few girls from my wedding party. Everyone was happy, and she did a great job. She handled us all well, gave suggestions that we appreciated without being overbearing, and finished well within the time frame provided. She provided me with a tube of lipgloss that I used for the rest of the evening as well! Great job overall!

Brooke was fabulous! Even though it was a bit of a haul to get from DC to Gainesville for the initial trial, I loved the look Brooke created and knew I wanted to work with her. She came all the way to DC to do wedding day make-up for my entire bridal party, the mother of the groom, and myself. Everyone loved their make-up. There was not one complaint or adjustment after she left (which I think is rare). The girls looked gorgeous and I felt I looked very natural, but kicked up a notch - it was exactly what I wanted and it lasted all day and night. She worked quickly and was very sweet. I was extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Brooke.

Brooke was professional, on time and did an amazing job! She came on time and prepared to our venue and made me feel at ease and took away my butterflies. When she showed up, she was calming and relaxing. The make up was flawless and lasted ALL DAY INTO THE EVENING! I didn't want to take it off after my wedding and when I got to the hotel with my husband, I wanted to keep it on for the next day. Everyone told me how amazing my makeup was, and how I almost didn't look like myself. I loved the application and how I forgot I had anything on my face, including my eyelashes. As soon as I get pictures back, I will be sending a few to Brooke for her portfolio! I highly recommend her. Everything from my makeup trial to the wedding day was amazing and Brooke capped it off with her stunning skills and beautiful makeup! Thank you Brooke!

Brooke was just awesome! I was very concerned about finding the best makeup artist I could because I wanted to look my best on my wedding day (obviously). I called Brooke and arranged a trial run and I was so pleased with the results, I had to go with her! Then the wedding day came and I don't know how she did it, but my makeup looked better than the trial run! My bridesmaids (that weren't going to get their makeup professionally done) decided to get their makeup done by Brooke last minute, after they saw how great her work was! She made us all so gorgeous and I am so happy! I will always use Brooke any time I need to get my makeup done again!

So originally I had thought that I didn't need anyone to do my makeup but after meeting with my photographer and some others it was made clear to me that I had better find someone - and I only had a week left til my wedding!! Thank goodness Brooke is so flexible. She was able to fit me in and did an AMAZING job! I am a crier so I knew that the waterworks would start once the ceremony began. My makeup stayed gorgeous ALL NIGHT LONG - even after all the happy tears (and there were a lot). I don't normally wear much makeup and Brooke matched everything up perfectly - it was me, only a more improved version of myself. I also didn't feel like I was wearing a mask over my face which is how I normally feel when someone else does my makeup. It looked natural and beautiful. I received wonderful compliments and my pictures look amazing. Thank you Brooke!

I booked Brooke for my October 2010 wedding, and I am so glad I did! I am pretty good at own doing my make-up and little picky about it actually, but Brooke did an amazing job (much better than I could have done...especially with all of the nerves and excitement on my wedding day!) In addition to myself, she did my mom, MOH and two bridesmaids. We all looked so glamorous and beautiful and received tons of compliments. I highly recommend Brooke...not only did she do a fantastic job, she is super friendly and personable and showed up a half hour early the day of my wedding!

I highly recommend Brooke! On the day of the wedding she waited for quite a while when photos took much longer than expected. She was calm and professional. She did hair and make up- looked great and held up very well! Five stars!

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!

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience with Makeup by Brooke. I think Brooke's greatest talent is assessing her clients' style and customizing the makeup to fit the client not herself. The test run was wonderful and gave me confidence that my wedding day makeup would look beautiful. On my wedding day, Brooke arrived earlier than scheduled and was completely professional. I prefer a more natural style and Brooke made me look elegant without my makeup being over the top. I cannot think of one bit of positive criticism to give. Thank you for the fantastic service Brooke!

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!
