    Kristin was so professional and amazing! I called her last minute she was actually heading to an event at the time but she really wanted to help me and made the time for me :) .. I was a little scared being ethnic but My make up was incredible I didn't even tell her what I wanted but she knew what to on my face . She just asked me what I was wearing for my event and she did her magic everybody loved my make up . And of course I loved her so much I used her two days later for another event that I had. I truly recommend her to anybody :). She's the best!!

    Makeup Luxe did an amazing job for my wedding in November. Kristen is a natural when it comes to makeup and we all looked flawless. My bridesmaids all agreed it was the best make-up they have ever had done! Noelle was also amazing with all of our up-dos and she is extremely creative!! Our hair and makeup lasted all night and I highly recommend Makeup Luxe for a one stop shop for your hair and makeup for any occasion! Thank you for making me gorgeous on the most memorable day of my life!!!

    Makeup Luxe's reply:

    Thanks Stephanie, you were a gorgeous bride and the attention to detail and vision for your wedding was gorgeous. U deserve a round of applause yourself for the job you did. Congrats on your big day!!!

    Kristin was the most amazing makeup artist and friend we could ask for during my sister's wedding a few months ago in October. She was referred to us by my sister's friend- and she promptly set up a trial at her home for a FULL face of makeup for the bride to give her an idea of what it would be like on the day. She was so funny and personable - it put everyone's nerves at ease, made us laugh - including my mother and of course the bride. Needless to say the work was phenomenal - she took such care and attention to the smallest details - took her time and didn't rush at all- matching colors to jewelry, asking the bride her preferences while providing offering professional opinion and input. She also did my makeup as well as my mom's ( I decided to have mine done last minute and she was completely flexible). The fact that this was an Indian wedding and she was able to apply all of the traditional jewelry and adornments and pull it off is truly commendable. Per partner in crime, Noel, did our hair, and we couldn't have been happier with her also. My makeup and look was phenomenal and I have never looked and felt more beautiful than I did that day! I'm a New Yorker and there are a world of makeup artists in the city-however I will only hire Kristin for my own wedding - she is simply the best-PERIOD!

    Thanks Pooja, Reema's wedding was so much fun. It really should be us thanking you for the amazing experience. Everyone was so welcoming and we had so much fun, it was barely work with all the laughing and dancing.

    I hired Makeup Luxe, Kristin for Makeup and Noelle for Hair for myself and my Bridal Party on 10/3/15. It was an excellent decision. It was so nice for all of us to not have to worry about packing all our makeup and hair products to get ourselves ready. We trusted two very knowledgeable professionals and it made all the difference. It's easy to make 20 years old look beautiful but Kristin handled my 43 yr old skin expertly. I was so pleased with my makeup that I literally didn't wash my face until about 3pm the next day. I know that's bad for your skin but the makeup was way too good to take off. lol. I should note that before being referred to Makeup Luxe I had a trial at a Benefit store and it was an absolute disaster. They don't employ makeup artists with even a fraction of the experience that Kristin has and it shows. In the first 5 mins of my trial with Kristin, I knew that she knew exactly what she was doing.

    Makeup Luxe's reply:

    Thanks Lauren, you had a BEAUTIFUL bridal party (personality as well as physical beauty) and it was a pleasure to be part of your day. You looked stunning and your ceremony was wonderful. Thank you for making us part of the day, it was truly an honor.

    Kristin was a true professional and a master of her craft. Her talents exceeded my expectations. From consultation to the day of my wedding she was accommodating and companionable. She answered my countless emails, phone calls, and texts quickly. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured my day went flawlessly. She created a relaxed, fun environment for my bridesmaids and myself. The vendors she recommended were top notch as well. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone who wants to look and feel like the bride they've always dreamt of.

    Christa, what can I say...thank you!!! Hands down BEST WEDDINNG PLAY LIST E-V-E-R. The mood was right, the girls were stunning, you stole the show. It was a wonderful day!!!

    Kristin at Makeup Luxe was the MVP of my wedding! Not only is she extremely talented, sweet, and professional, she kept me and my mother sane and helped out every which way she could. From the second we met at my trial, it was obvious to me that she was a total expert. On the day of the wedding, Kristin was prompt and did an amazing job on me, my mother, and my maid of honor. (My father was mesmerized at how gorgeous my mother looked!) I had arranged for another makeup artist at first, but she really was just far too inexperienced (and I had an allergic reaction after my trial). I had the extended package from Kristin (totally worth it considering how much she helped out), so she was with me from 7am until noon. She did such a fabulous job though, we barely needed touching up! She was helpful in other ways than makeup too -- she held my mother's purse during the ceremony! She helped me move out of my hotel room the morning of the wedding! (My mother has called me twice since the wedding -- two days ago -- to tell me how fabulous Kristin was and what a great find she was.) I am not the most confident person in my outward appearance, but Kristin made me look and feel positively stunning. I just can't say enough good things about her!

    Kristin and Noelle are the perfect hair and makeup team for any special event! They are both extremely professional, responsive, flexible and punctual. Most importantly, they are amazing with hair and makeup! They made EVERYONE in my bridal party look absolutely stunning for my wedding. The makeup and hair lasted all day and night and was done beautifully, exactly as each woman/girl wanted! I have already recommended them to friends and would not hesitate to continue to do so! Book them, you won't regret it!

    Kristin and Shannon were awesome! They saved me a lot of headaches by coming to my home for hair and makeup for my brother's wedding. I would highly recommend Makeup Luxe! Our faces didn't look over done...just beautiful and polished! Makeup and hair lasted all day and night! I can't wait for another event, just so I can use them again!

    Kristen was phenominal, she made me look beautiful and I had nothing but compliments all night !!
    I did a trial with her as well before the wedding and I would suggest that to anyone to do. This way
    I was comfortable with her already on my wedding day and knew that she would make me look great.
    I would definitly use her again for any important events that I would have coming up.!!!!

    This is the best service I could have asked for both Noelle and Kristin were able to accommodate every change I needed, helped with difficult bridesmaids I had, professional, fun, reliable, and made my day that much more special-- I would recommend them for anything, and will continue to use the service in the future for any special day I have. My favorite part was the schedule that was set up so there was no confusion and nothing ran late. LOVE LOVE LOVE you make up luxe

    Kristin and Shannon were absolutely FANTASTIC! I was having my wedding in NJ even though I didn't live in the state and they were so accommodating with times and days to make sure that I could get down there for my trial. The quality of hair and makeup that I had done was beyond what I expected - it was perfect. They both listened to every question, suggestion or concern I had and made sure to address each one. On such an important day of my life, I couldn't have put myself in better hands. It went off without a hitch and I could not have been more ecstatic with how my hair and makeup turned out. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs these services!! Simply amazing!

    Makeup Luxe was absolutely perfect for my special day! The girls makeup turned out flawless and Kristin is not only extremely talented, but also very knowledgable about makeup and skin care. We all felt so comfortable with her and Noelle (hair stylist); it's like we had two more friends there with us! They made everything so fun and enjoyable, and of course, made all of us look gorgeous! Anyone that books with Makeup Luxe will be 100% satisfied!

    I recently got married on 2/21/14 and used Makeup Luxe for hair and makeup. I contacted Kristin many months before my wedding date to schedule a trial. She happened to be on vacation but even though she was away, she took time from her vacation to speak to me about my hair and makeup vision. From the start Kristin was honest with me and was always available to talk or email with any concerns I had. Her responsiveness is amazing! I had my makeup trial with Celeste and my hair trial with Tara. Both are experts at their craft. I knew that day that I did not want to look any further and booked them right away. In the months in between my trial and wedding day, Kristin would email me to see how I was doing. A couple of weeks before my day, I started to panic, not sure if I should go with an up-do or half up, half down style. I quickly contacted Tara and Kristin, both were supportive and understanding. I scheduled a second trial with Tara just to calm my nerves. She did an even better style than our first trial. I felt a hundred times better. On the day of, both ladies arrived on time and were extremely friendly and professional with all my bridesmaids. They even helped calm my wedding jitters! I looked and felt absolutely amazing! I am so glad I had Tara and Celeste at my side on the day of, I could not have asked for a better look and feel. Thanks again for making myself and bridal party feel and look amazing!

    Makeup Luxe is the best! Kristin is extremely organized, professional, and talented. I was so pleased with my makeup the day of my wedding. From my initial makeup trial to the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. Kristin is a pleasure to work with and I would definitely contact her for future events.

    I first met Kristin when she was hired to do my best friend's wedding. As soon as I got engaged, I knew exactly who to call to book for make-up. I couldn't have been happier with how everyone's make-up came out. My mother's make-up was a little tricky because she never really wears much besides blush, and Kristin made her look AMAZING but in the most natural way. She was even helpful with the hair styling even though I did not contract her services for hair. Of all the wedding services and arrangements I have to say this was the thing I worried about the least, because I knew I was getting the best.

    From the day I met Kristin for my makeup trial.. I knew this was going to be the makeup artist I would go with for my wedding.. we talk endlessly for two hours while she did my trial.. which came out beautifully! She made me feel very at ease and quickly understood exactly what I wanted.

    She did the makeup of myself, my entire bridal party, my mother and my two aunts. Everyone raved about the work she did! Everyone said they have never felt more beautiful!

    She did such an amazing job my sister who is getting married November of 2014 is going to use her services as well! I cannot rave enough!

    We used Kristin for my sister's wedding and she did an unbelievable job, so when I got engaged I knew who to go to for hair and makeup!Kristin uses amazing products, is very creative, is extremley organized (had a whole schedule before the wedding date) ,personable and very responsive (she always responded to any questions within a few hours). She made me look exactly what I wanted to look like on my wedding day! Noelle did my hair and she did a fantastic job! They work amazing as a team. I received numerous compliements throughout the wedding, as well as after when people took a look at pictures. Both hair and makeup stayed the entire night! They also did our entire bridal party and we had a great time getting ready! I would def reccomend their services to anyone who is looking!

    Kristin is a phenomenal makeup artist. I looked and felt fabulous on my wedding day and so did all of my bridal party. As the bride, I was getting complimented on how great I looked, but I must say that many of my guest also commented how great my makeup looked! I highly recommend Makeup Luxe for any event you may need a makeup artist for. I know I will use their services in the future.

    I used Makeup Luxe for my wedding and was extremely happy with the results. I was a non-traditional bride and was concerned that perhaps “wedding” makeup artists wouldn’t understand my vision. I spoke to Kristin and we set up a trial, we spoke briefly about the wedding, the style, and the colors. Kristen WOW-ed me! She nailed the look I was going for! I received a million complements on my hair and make up that day, I felt beautiful. Speaking of hair, Kristin also hooked me up with a stylist and before that I had tried so many others, Tara who was my hair stylist through Makeup Luxe totally blew my mind! I had tried other hairstylists and nobody could get it right, so I figured it just wasn’t possible. I liked my trail with Tara but the day of the wedding I showed her a picture of what I really wanted that nobody was able to figure out how to do and just like that I had the hair I envisioned! Seriously I have never had such a positive experience with two awesome ladies. They ROCKED me out for my wedding and it was AWESOME!
    I would definitely recommend Makeup Luxe for any special occasion.

    I first heard about Kristin and Makeup Luxe from a friend who had booked with Kristin for her wedding a few years before. I had never heard someone talk so highly of a vendor (any vendor) so I immediately thought I needed to talk to this makeup artist! I am SO happy I listened and went with Kristin. I can not say enough about how incredible Kristin was during the entire process of booking the wedding and the day of! Kristin is so easy to work with, she schedules everyone's makeup (and hair) needs, she makes sure everything runs smoothly. On top of the fact that she is insanely talented and makes everyone GORGEOUS, she is also hilarious and awesome, we all (my girls included, the MOG and a few family friends) were raving about how much fun we had while getting ready with Kristin. Kristin recommended Noelle for hair and she was equally as talented and amazing. They both made us all look beautiful and perfect for my wedding! If you're looking for someone to do your makeup for any event (Kristin did mine for my shower also, which was our trial, I've never had so many compliments!) or if you already have someone, I say switch over to Kristin at Makeup Luxe!! You will not be disappointed!!

    Kristin Paladino is a godsend. I had a trial with her at Nordstrom and signed my contract that night. I just want to say that I am very, very picky about make-up and I'm usually the one doing other peoples make-up for proms, special events, even some weddings! The fact that I booked Kristin the night of my trial, after having other trials before her, tells you something right away.

    She is raw talent and cares so much for her clients. She replies quickly to e-mails and arrived on time the day of the wedding. She showed up to our bridal suite with her make-up luggage (literally, lol) and we had a large dining room table for her to set-up all of the goodies. She & Nicole made my bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and I look absolutely gorrrrrrrrrgeous!!!! She gave my girls eyelashes at no charge too which was so sweet! Not only was Kristin my make-up artist, but she was also my hero. I had two little situations that day (limo and venue issues) which Kristin had nothing to do with, but she didn't want me to get upset so she took care of these situations for me!!! Are you kidding me?! Call her the boss because that girl gets sh*t done! I absolutely love her, have already recommended her to my friend whose wedding I will be in next year, and I encourage all of you to do the same. Make-up Luxe is the BEST!!!!!

    When you are getting married there is an image that stays in your mind...a certain way you dream of looking like for your wedding day. Kristin has by far exceeded my expectations. The moment i looked in the mirror after my trial, my initial reaction was "YES!". When i looked at myself in the mirror the day of my wedding i had a smile from ear to ear. This is exactly what i pictured in my mind. Not to mention that my bridal party and my mother looked amazing!! The proof is in the pictures!! Trust me, you will want to stare at yourself all day :)
