    Everything I could have asked for!

    Irene was fantastic! I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was very easy to work with, quick at responding to inquiries, and made me feel relaxed and taken care of both for the trial and on the day of my wedding. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I am so grateful I booked Irene for my wedding and have already recommended her to several of my friends.

    Amazing hair and makeup!

    Irene was so kind, responsive, and helpful throughout all of my wedding planning and the day of! When the hairstyle I thought I wanted didn't pan out during the trial, she made sure that I got exactly what I wanted the day of. Her pricing is also very reasonable for her experience and skills. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding hair and makeup artist!

    Glowing from Within

    Irene was amazing to work with from the start. My wedding was a destination wedding so she was able to schedule my makeup trial the day before my wedding. She’s talented, professional, and gives close attention to detail. She was with me for touch ups until right before I walked the aisle. My makeup and hair lasted all day/night and it was exactly what I envisioned.

    Expert at their craft & genuinely get your vision!

    Save yourself the time/effort and stop poring over tons of reviews because you will NEVER find a better makeup artist than Irene. The level of expertise and knowledge she possesses is unparalleled. As if that weren’t enough, she is the sweetest, most easy going person ever! The minute I stepped into her studio for my trial, she made me feel right at ease. I could go on and on describing her wonderful qualities and impressive techniques (not to mention she has all the best products), but the reason I would implore any bride to book with Irene O’Brien Artistry is because NO ONE will work harder to fully understand your vision and bring it to life. Irene has a unique desire to recognize exactly the look and feeling you’re going for (even if you yourself can’t put it into words what you envision) and then executes it perfectly!! I don’t know how she does it. It’s almost as if she’s a mind reader, but most likely it’s her decades of experience and passion for her craft. I tend to be really picky and have high (sometimes impossible) expectations, so I’m sure you can imagine how much pressure and anxiety I had leading up to the most important day of my life so far. That being said, I can truly say that I have NEVER felt more beautiful in my life than I did the day of my wedding. I looked my best thanks to Irene (and of course Crystel who did my hair) and every time I look back at the photos, I will feel nothing but immense gratitude to her for that gift. In conclusion, please do yourself a favor and do not try to save money by going to Ulta or Sephora. Don’t trust your friend to do this important task for you. Instead, invest a little in a fun and stress-free experience with your closest girls! Just pop the champagne, blast the tunes, get into something comfortable, and let Irene take care of the rest. I PROMISE YOU: SHE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY! P.S. my old fashioned mom who wears minimal makeup and had never had it professionally done looked FLAWLESS and felt incredibly confident the entire night because Irene brought out her most beautiful features in the most subtle way (that also photographed perfectly)!!! So grateful!!
