Client Testimonials:
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Sommer. Not only did she make every single one of us feel beautiful, but she made sure we still looked and felt like ourselves-just the most radiant, polished versions. What truly set her apart, though, was her calming energy. The wedding morning was a whirlwind—girls getting ready, moms running around, photographers everywhere—but the moment I sat in Sommer’s chair, everything else faded. She created this quiet, grounding space where I could just breathe and be present. I felt calm, centered and completely at ease before walking down the aisle. Sommer was pure magic and I’m so grateful she was part of our day.”

“ From the moment I met Sommer, I knew I was in the best hands. She has the most incredible energy. So warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I felt instantly comfortable with her, and by the end of the trial, I knew she had absolutely nailed it! We didn’t have to change a single thing for the wedding day. It was that perfect! On the day of, I looked and felt so beautiful! My makeup held up flawlessly from the morning into the night, and I got an overwhelming number of compliments. One of my friends loved the makeup so much she used it as inspiration for her own wedding look. Sommer is beyond talented, incredibly professional, and such a joy to have with you on one of the most important days of your life! I truly couldn’t recommend her enough.”

“From the moment she arrived (promptly and fully prepared), she was the perfect balance of professional and laid-back. She maintained the friendly, easygoing vibe we’ve always shared while delivering flawless, focused work. I had chosen an inspirational photo that was far from your typical bridal makeup—specifically, a look from Euphoria featuring rhinestones along my lower lash line. Sommer absolutely nailed it. She didn’t copy the photo: she adapted it expertly to complement my face, thoughtfully adjusting the colors, shapes, and textures so it felt intentional, beautiful, and perfectly me. This experience only reinforced what I’ve always known about her: Sommer is not only capable of executing timeless, traditional beauty looks, but she’s also a total pro when it comes to translating more unconventional, creative references into something wearable and gorgeous. She was such a special and memorable part of my wedding morning, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an artist for their wedding—or any event. She is truly one of a kind.”

“ I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist on my wedding day. I knew from mere moments of meeting Sommer that she was the right choice. She asked all the right questions regarding myself, my wedding, and the vision I had for my day. Sommer has the amazing ability to make you feel naturally beautiful and still feel like yourself while still being in a full face of makeup. She executed the bridesmaids’ and my mom’s makeup flawlessly as well. Everyone still raves about Sommer and I always look forward to an excuse to get dolled up. Beyond grateful to have met Sommer.”

“What sets Sommer apart is the way she captures exactly the look and feeling I was going for, every single time. Her attention to detail is extraordinary—like watching an artist paint with the most meticulous strokes and perfect eye for color and texture. She doesn’t just apply makeup, she creates a whole experience, transforming and elevating without ever losing sight of who you are. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust so deeply with my face and my vision. I hope to have Sommer create her magic on me for many years to come!”

“I’ve been getting my makeup done by Sommer since I was 17, and always for some of my biggest moments—prom, singing at hockey games, and most recently, my wedding. Trusting someone with your face on such important days is rare—but with Sommer, I don’t ever have to think, taking all the stress out of those big moments. She takes the time to really listen and understand what I envision, what I’m more self-conscious about, and what I want to highlight. And she delivers—every single time. For my wedding week, she went above and beyond. She helped me choose everyday makeup that worked perfectly for my skin and my style, and helped curate looks for all my pre-wedding events—from the bachelorette party to the rehearsal dinner.Beyond being crazy talented, Sommer is just such a kind, calming presence. She is a true professional and someone who really cares. ❤️”
