LET ANDREA BE A PART OF YOUR SPECIAL DAY

I cannot say enough positive things about Andrea! Andrea was recommended to me by the hairstylist I booked for my wedding. I took a leap of faith and didn't even do a trial before the wedding. I am someone who doesn't wear makeup on a normal day, so this was incredibly anxiety inducing for me. Andrea listened to exactly what I wanted and executed the makeup flawlessly! Not only was my makeup perfect, but so was my bridesmaids. I cannot tell you how many compliments I got throughout the night and even after! The makeup stayed perfectly even in 95 degree weather and 75 percent humidity!
