    Excellent Makeup Services!

    Nina was amazing! She was so professional and so talented. Everyone in the wedding party absolutely loved their makeup. Her skill is truly excellent. Would definitely recommend Nina to anyone and will definitely use her in the future for any make up services!

    Thank you Lauren!!! We are so happy that you loved everything. It was such a pleasure working with you!

    We looked flawless!

    Nina did an amazing job on my makeup and all of my girls on my wedding day! I rarely wear makeup on a day to day basis so was looking for a very natural look. Nina did just that and more. She made me feel done up and beautiful but I still looked exactly like myself. My makeup was perfect! My mom and I both did a trial before the wedding and Nina made it such an enjoyable experience - she is so kind and talented! I wish she could do my makeup everyday! Jo was also very easy to communicate with to set everything up behind the scenes. I highly recommend Cheekadee Makeup Artists!

    Highly Recommended!

    Cheekadee was great to work with and were so flexible when we chose to postpone our wedding due to Covid. Nina did a fantastic job on my bridal makeup and bridesmaids makeup. She nailed the look I showed her from my inspiration look while tailoring it to my specific features. She also did an amazing job on my mom's makeup, we were all so thrilled! Nina was also such a sweetheart, the services were a great value, and the makeup lasted all night!

    Stunning work!

    Kim was wonderful to work with. We scrambled for new makeup artists (4 weeks before the wedding) after having another vendor team booked for over 1.5yrs. We found Cheekadee because we felt most comfortable knowing that our makeup artists were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 - which they willingly disclosed to us. This felt like as significant health and safety protocol to me as does knowing make up artists clean their brushes. Cheekadee understood my concerns. We hired them and I am so happy we did !!

    Cheekadee was AMAZING. They were prompt, responsive, and their work was beautiful. Kim, our lead artist, was wonderful. When I had my trial with her, she made me feel comfortable right away, understood what I was looking for, took some creative liberties and it turned out beautiful. She was also VERY responsive to my suggestions and worked to make sure I left a happy customer.

    On the day of the wedding, Kim and Ceyl were efficient, fun to work with, and made everyone feel beautiful. It was a gorgeous day and Cheekadee made us feel that way too! DEFINITELY hire them.

    Picture Perfect Makeup

    Whether you're a makeup expert, or you haven't worn makeup in years, the Cheekadee team will find the perfect look for you. They made my mom and mother-in-law feel beautiful the day of, both who were nervous about wearing a full face of makeup and fake lashes for the first time.

    As a COVID bride, the Cheekadee team couldn't have been more understanding and flexible with ever-changing details surrounding the day.

    If you're looking for a natural glow, and the kindest team to work with, look no further and hire Cheekadee.

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    Cali thank you so much!!! We absolutely loved working with you and your family, you looked stunning! Best wishes!

    Makeup Magician

    I chose Cheekadee as the makeup vendor for my wedding after being extremely impressed by their work at a friend's wedding. Jo was a pleasure to communicate with during my planning process - her responses were prompt, thorough, and professional. My makeup trial with Nina was wonderful - and then she absolutely exceeded any expectations I had on the day of the wedding. I watched Nina and Kim bring out all of the most beautiful features in my bridesmaids - they looked flawless. My mom and mother-in-law raved that Nina made them look 10 years younger! They truly looked STUNNING. My makeup was everything I could have dreamt of and more - she made me feel beautiful. I have fairly severe keratosis pilaris on my face, which I am very self-conscious about. However, Nina made it disappear with air brushing and contouring - and I didn't see it appear again in one photograph all night. I am convinced that she is a makeup magician. Not only is she wildly talented, but she is kind and patient, and served as a source of calm energy when things around us seemed chaotic! One of my bridesmaids is engaged, and booked Nina immediately after witnessing her work first-hand. I could not recommend Nina and the Cheekadee team highly enough!!

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    Wow Christine, thank you SO much for your glowing review! It means so much that you took the time to write this! You and your whole party were so wonderful and I loved working with you all! Looking forward to seeing you again at your friends wedding! Congratulations again! 💜

    Make up with Hailey!

    I booked Hailey with Cheekadee for our make up artist for my wedding. Since this was my first time getting my makeup professionally done, I was hesitant and didn't want to look to far away from myself. Hailey was able to give me the look that I wanted, enhancing my features and giving me a natural/nude look for the wedding. She made everyone in my party feel comfortable with their looks and myself confident and ready for my big day. She was early at arriving to the hotel (which worked our perfectly for us!), stayed on schedule/a little early, and was able to work with a variety of faces for myself, two bridesmaids, and two moms. An added bonus is that she worked with my and my make-up style to make sure my look would be good with my glasses! I highly recommend Cheekadee to hire for weddings! Not only was Hailey great to work with, Jo and Nina were also a pleasure to communicate with in terms of assisting with scheduling and our make-up timeline. Thank you Cheekadee!

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    Hi Ashley! WOW!!! Thank you SO much for this glowing review! We LOVE Hailey too, she is really amazing! We are thrilled that you loved your services from start to finish! Best wishes!

    Cheekadee is fantastic

    I had a hard time finding a makeup artist for my wedding day. I am not into makeup, and I wanted a more natural look to my day of style. I sent a few inquiries to vendors via wedding wire, stating I was concerned about makeup and was unsure of the process. Cheekadee was the only vendor to reply with a response acknowledging my concerns, and making me feel like they actually read my message. Everyone else sent a canned responses with their product offerings.
    I scheduled a trial at their Chestnut Hill location, and Nina was so warm and friendly, plus very knowledgable of makeup. The day of, Nina was able to add on one of my bridesmaid last minute, and she finished our group early. Everyone liked how they looked, and our makeup lasted. It was a HOT day in June when we got married. She is a wonderful person, and she does beautiful work. She'll add calm and happiness to any bridal party getting ready. Thanks, Cheekadee!

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    Hi Theresa! Wow thank you so much for this amazing review! You are so kind for taking the time to write these kind words! I am so happy that you and your party were thrilled with the makeup! We hope your wedding day was everything you dreamed and more!!! Hope we get to work together again soon! ❤️

    Love Nina!

    Nina was the makeup artist for my wedding and she did a phenomenal job. Everyone looked so beautiful and was so happy with their makeup. Nina made everyone feel so comfortable in the makeup chair and made sure everyone looked perfect before she left. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Cheekadee to anyone in a heartbeat!

    Got so many compliments!!

    I had Aja and LeeAnn from the Cheekadee makeup team do my make-up as well as several of my bridesmaids and family members (10 total) on my wedding day. They didn't rush, but they were able to finish all of our make-up by 11 am (we had to be ready by 12:30 pm)! They incorporated blush/burgundy colors which complimented my bridesmaids' dresses well. Everyone looked amazing! Aja did my make-up and I got so many compliments! I got my make-up done at around 10:30 am and it lasted up until 2 am the next day. I also cried multiple times throughout the day (tears of joy, of course), but my make-up stayed put. I didn't have to get any touch-ups or worry about the make-up smudging. If you want to look and feel like a queen on your wedding day, go with Cheekadee makeup artists!!!
    I also found Meghan Cahill, my hairstylist, through Cheekadee and she was also amazing!!! She was able to finish 14 girls by 11 am!!! She was super fast. Even though she finished quickly, each girl's hair turned out just the way they wanted it. I opted for a low updo, and again it lasted the whole day and night. It was especially windy that day, but my hair was still perfect even after spending time outside. I highly recommend her as your hairstylist!!

    Again, I felt and looked great on my wedding day. You can see it in all the pictures. Thank you Cheekadee and Meghan!!

    Nina is amazing!

    I choose Cheekadee for the makeup for my wedding and I am so glad that I did. Nina was my makeup artist and she did an absolutely unbelievable job both at my trial and on the day of the wedding. All of the girls commented on how amazing both makeup artists were. We had 12 people to get through hair and makeup and we ended up being ahead of schedule, it was amazing! Thank you so much!

    LeeAnn/Victoria

    I was so happy to have chosen LeeAnn for my makeup. I am very picky about having makeup done since I literally do not wear any on a daily basis. LeeAnn brought me in for two trials (on my request) and the company worked with my budget to help me have these trials and feel comfortable. LeeAnn was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. She even gave me her cell number and put up with me texting her pictures all of the time with makeup ideas! :-)
    I would highly recommend Cheekadee. It was very affordable but the quality exceeded my expectations. They also sent a “prep” assistant to help the day-of, which made the timeline go smoother that day.
    Thank you Cheekadee!!!!

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    We love that you had such a positive experience with us!!! LeeAnn is awesome and brings so much to our team. Thank you for choosing Cheekadee!!! Best wishes!

    Dream Wedding Makeup

    I was really nervous about getting wedding makeup because—well, I didn't want makeup that looked like wedding makeup! Nina totally understood this and was able to create a look that had everything I wanted (effortless glamour, natural vibes, easy sophistication) with nothing I didn't. I felt so beautiful, and so myself, on my wedding day, and Nina had a big hand in that. Thank you to Nina & Cheekadee!

    Could not ask for a better experience

    Nicole did my makeup for my wedding day and she was amazing! I was super picky about wanting my look to be natural and light and she nailed it. During our trial we went really in-depth and she asked me lots of questions and tried out a few different looks so that way on the big day I literally did not even think about makeup- it was just what I wanted. Highly recommend.

    Lovely people, gorgeous work!

    Nina and Cheekadee did a beautiful job and were absolutely great to work with. Not only is Nina a lovely and sweet person, but Cheekadee is very polished, organized and communicative throughout the process -- which was a noticeable difference from other beauty vendors we'd worked with or seen friends work with. They were also flexible with us as we added an additional person at the last minute, and things still went perfectly on the day of the wedding. I'd highly recommend them for the work/skill, flexibility, and great service.

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    Hi Victoria,
    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! You were such a delight to work with and I wish you and your husband all the happiness in the world! You looked gorgeous!

    Most unbelievable day of my life and my makeup was right there to match it. Cheekadee was absolutely fabulous to deal with from start to end. Aja did my makeup and she was amazing. I am still getting compliments about how good I looked and people are constantly asking who did my makeup on the day of my wedding. Highly recommend!

    Say yes to Hailey Fishbaine & Cheekadee!

    I had heard about Cheekadee from a friend and immediately booked them after seeing their work and hearing how friendly they were. I have many great things to say about this vendor:
    1) they are very professional and easy to communicate with. Scheduling my trial and day of timeline was super easy.
    2) They are flexible and laid back. This was very helpful when I had to change the schedule last minute for when my bridal party was getting their makeup done.
    3) Everyone at Cheekadee is so nice! My mom and I had a great time at our trial in Philadelphia and felt very welcomed by everyone.
    4) Hailey Fishbaine was the makeup artist for everyone in my wedding and she is a total rockstar. Not only is she kind, supportive, relaxed and down to earth but she is also an amazing makeup artist. My makeup was perfect. My mom's makeup was perfect. Everyone's makeup was perfect. There was a lot of variation in my bridal party regarding daily makeup use (from people who never wore makeup to people who wore it regularly) and Hailey was very adaptable to any style we needed. Hailey also arrived early, had everything set up and ready to go, and was on time with each appointment.
    I highly recommend Hailey and Cheekadee for any bride to be :)

    Cheekadee Makeup Artists's reply:

    Wow, thank you so much Elizabeth!!! What an amazing review, we are so happy that you loved your experience with Hailey and Cheekadee!

    We had a phenomenal experience with Nina! She did the makeup for me and my mom on my wedding day and we were thrilled with the results. My makeup exceeded my expectations. Nina is extremely talented and very professional - highly recommended!
