Anne was great to work with from start to finish for my small wedding. She was also able to connect me with Cori for hair, who was also amazing. Anne took the time at my trial to understand what I wanted, what would work best with my skin and to try different foundations, liners etc. Every single person looked amazing and I truly did not want to take my makeup off after because it just looked too good!

Eve (Evermore Beauty) was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day! Her communication was clear, and she made sure to understand the look I was going for, including looking at photos and explaining what would/wouldn’t work with my coloring or features. I had never seen myself look so good with a face of makeup. On my wedding day, I got so many comments on my hair and makeup. The hair stylist I worked with through Evermore, Rachael, also went above and beyond. My hair wasn’t cooperating during my trial so she sent me home with some clarifying shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask to use before we tried a second trial. She wanted to make sure my hair met my vision. Eve and Rachael were wonderful with my flower girls, too. I would highly recommend Evermore Beauty to any bride and bridal party!

Hello beautiful people! My name is Jocelyn and I have been a makeup artist for over 8 years, pursuing this full time the last 3! I have loved makeup my entire life and my love has just grown as I have gotten older. Communication and trust with my clients is extremely important to me! I always make sure we have time to talk about exactly what kind of look you are looking for. I look forward to welcoming you to my chair!

Jocelyn was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day makeup. Her communication style was speedy, personal, and energetic - she always responded quickly to any questions I had and made me feel like an individual, not just another client. The quality and value of her work was amazing. She didn't use a one-size-fits-all approach but really tailored the look to me. When she was done I truly felt beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle. On the day itself Jocelyn arrived right on time and came bearing a lovely gift, which was so thoughtful. She worked efficiently and professionally to make sure my makeup was perfect before zipping off to her next appointment. I couldn't recommend Jocelyn more highly for any bride looking for a talented, responsive, and thoughtful makeup artist for her special day!

I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.

I can’t recommend Jena highly enough!! I first met her when she did my best friend’s makeup, and I knew right then that I wanted her to be part of my own wedding day. Her style is exactly what I was looking for; natural, soft, elevated, but most importantly, it felt like me. As someone who doesn’t typically wear a lot of makeup, I wanted to feel confident and photo-ready without feeling overdone, and Jena struck that balance perfectly. From the trial to the wedding day, Jena was warm, calming, and genuinely interested in understanding what I wanted. She asked thoughtful questions, welcomed feedback, and made sure we had a clear, comfortable plan for the morning of the wedding. She even traveled from the Hudson Valley into NYC to be with us that day, something I was so grateful for. The morning of my wedding, she felt like another friend in the room; easy to talk to, grounding, and full of positive energy. She did makeup for me, my mom, my mother-in-law, my sister, and sister-in-law, and everyone looked and felt beautiful!! Our makeup lasted from 7am through the very last dance, and I never once felt like I needed a touch-up. If you're considering Jena, truly don’t hesitate! She’s talented, kind, and committed to making you feel like the best version of yourself!!

Welcome! Bienvenidos! My name is Geraldine but everyone calls me Geri! My passion for the industry started at a very young age. What started out as a coping mechanism turned out to be a career I truly love. I became a hair and makeup artist straight out of high school and have been in the industry for over 14 years. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new friends and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
Geri was incredible for doing both hair and makeup for myself and my wife. From the time we set up and went to the trial with her we knew she was the right choice. We needed to change the amount of people getting done several times and she always changed it seamlessly. For our wedding we had a large bridal party and needed a lot of people done for hair and makeup (9 bridesmaids). Geri and her team were incredible of ensuring everyone got the styles that they wanted. I even changed the style I wanted for my makeup drastically from the trail I did and Geri made my vision come true. Her team was fantastic with all of our wedding party and even our year old flower girl who required some extra patience. I cannot say enough nice things about how Geri and her team made me and my wife feel on our wedding day. If you’re considering booking her you will not regret it!
