Thank you to all who have sent me these amazing notes of gratitude....
I just wanted to thank you again for doing such an amazing job with the makeup for my wedding. Not only did we love how we looked, but we got a lot of compliments on our makeup. Despite how hot and humid it was (it even rained a bit after the ceremony), our makeup stayed fresh. I didn't even have to reply the powder that I bought at all!!!! I am so happy I chose you to do our makeup and if I ever have a special event to attend in NYC I will definitely give you a call :-) Here are some of the pictures my dad took on our wedding day.
Vielka Massiel Hernández, NYC, June 2010
The morning of my wedding was so hectic and I did not get an opportunity to thank you. I was extremely happy with my make-up. It looked fabulous! I hope to have another event in which I can use you again. I will definitely recommend you if I hear of anyone looking for a make-up artist.

Hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend. I wanted to send you a note of thanks. Things were a little overwhelming on Friday night for me and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your help. It was my first time ever having my makeup done and your kindness and professionalism made it extremely pleasant.
Thank you so much again for your part in making Kyle and I's special day such a success. I will definitely be keeping you in mind and recommending you for any future events.
Naomi Lahaie, NYC, May 2010
Thanks so much for the wonderful job you did for all of us on Saturday. Everyone loved their makeup. I felt beautiful all day. I will send you pictures once we have them.

"Please forgive the long delay in getting back to you to thank you for your help in getting me camera ready for Adrian and Anna’s beautiful fairytale wedding. While we don’t have the official photos yet, I wanted to share this one with you. It was taken by my husband as we were leaving the hotel. Later on, everyone said I looked great. Most importantly I felt great. Thanks go to you. I was really lucky to have made the connection to you and very much appreciate your professionalism and wonderful mannerism on the two occasions we were together. In fact all of our interactions by email and phone were great. It’s kind of a crap shoot dealing from afar. You never know and certainly as the day gets closer there is always the nagging feeling that someone may be a no-show. I never felt that with you at all. You put me at ease from the start. Again, a very big thanks to you. My mother looked beautiful too!"
Kerrie Halprin, Canada, May 2010
I just wanted to say thank you once again. You did an amazing job and you were right - all the make-up lasted through the night 'til the next morning. The wedding was wonderful and lots of fun. It will be a night to remember with that storm. I was thinking of you and if you had to go to the city.
Helene, Scarsdale, NY, March 2010
I cannot begin to explain how beautiful I felt on our wedding day a week and a half ago. There wasn't a mirror (or any other reflective surface haha!) that I didn't pass by and stare into, amazed at how gorgeous I looked... and felt! I couldn't stop smiling all day, thinking about how lucky I was to be marrying Marc and to look so wonderful for him.
Robin Glass, White Plains, NY, March 2010
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere thanks for your time, hard work and incredible talent last night at my wedding hair and make-up trial. I felt so beautiful, and I know Lindsey and Helene did, too. I appreciated how well you listened to all of our ideas and thoughts, and then you took those ideas and made them even better on ourselves! My make-up has never looked so wonderful!!
Robin Glass, White Plains, NY December 2009
I just wanted to thank you for doing such a fantastic job with the makeup for my nephew's wedding.My niece, Meg was very pleased (which isn't always easy to do!!). I will certainl y recommend you for future weddings, etc.
Mary Ellen Olsen, Queens, NY, December 2009
I’m freshly back from our amazing honeymoon, but I was very keen to drop you a line of thanks. I was so thrilled with my make-up on the day. You were able to give me exactly the look I was hoping for. You kept me natural, but just enhanced everything perfectly and I felt just right for the occasion and for all my photos. Thank you so much!! You’ll be pleased to know that I was finally able to shake my nerves, but only moments before stepping onto the aisle. I never thought I feel quite so overwhelmed. With your and Arturo’s help I loved my look and I’m so happy when I look back at my photos. It was great to have you as part of my day.
Mrs Catherine DeBari, NYC, November 2009
"Anabelle, I will miss you. You are a true SUPERSTAR! I know this to be true and I hope you know this as well. Its time to let the world know. Dream big and remain fearless. I want to hear about amazing things from you."

"Anabelle - Thank you again for an amazing job. The pictures looked so great and it couldn't have been without you. I went out tonight and felt like my skin was glowing. I will send you the final pics. Thanks so much!"

"Anabelle, the wedding was fantastic! I felt like royalty, thank you for making me look perfect. Thank you!"
Sharon Narson-Parobeck, NYC
"Anabelle, we finally saw some pictures from the wedding this weekend so I wanted to say thank you again. It was a long wedding evening but my makeup was perfect the entire time and I thought it looked wonderful. I hope I have something important in NY in the future to use your services again'
Jane Menell, Washington, D.C.
Anabelle, it has been a rough couple of weeks. My Mother In Law passed away last week. She was sick and we knew that the end would come but we did not think it would be so soon. I have not had an opportunity to thank you for the great job that you did with my makeup. My apologies for the madness at the end; I felt special and everyone loved the makeup. I hope I could keep in touch and could hire you again for future events."
Chastity Mejia, NYC
"The wedding was fabulous. I can't thank you enough. The makeup was absolutely beautiful and I never received so many compliments about it in my life. I danced all night and I did not need a touch up...even my lipsick stayed on. Thank you for making it a very special night for me and a wonderful memory for me to have forever. My sister-in-law June never looked as well either. Her eyes were gorgeous. Everyone who looks at the photos are telling her the same thing. She gave your name to her sister in Irvington. Hopefully my other son will make his move shortly and get engaged. You will be hearing from me the next day!!!!!
Jane Menell, Washington, D.C.
"Hi Anabelle - everything was great - it was a perfect night! Thanks for everything!"
Allison Ross, NYC
“Anabelle, your calming demeanor and professional manner provided me with needed assurance as a a nervous bride-to-be. You not only made us look amazing, but kept everyone smiling and on schedule. I looked like the best version of myself and I felt beautiful. I could not have made it through my wedding day without you!”
Alissa Weissberg-Dwek, NYC
"I Can't thank you enough for doing my make-up for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. I was so happy with the end result and the way I looked in my photos. I so appreciated you making the drive out East both days. I received so many compliments and owe it all to you and your talent. My sisters' thank you to and loved their make-up also."
