Her work is consistently gorgeous (hence her name), and she has a gift for creating looks that are both polished and effortless. If you’re looking for someone with a reputation for excellence, she’s an amazing choice.

When I worked with them last year, they completed hair and makeup for 13 bridesmaids quickly and seamlessly, and every single person looked stunning. Their team is highly professional and efficient, making them perfect for not only smaller weddings but also weddings with larger groups.
Brushed LLC is a wonderful choice for brides looking for a makeup artist who truly understands how to bring out natural beauty. She is skilled at working with a wide variety of skin tones and complexions, ensuring every bride looks flawless in person and in photos. I have worked with her on multiple shoots and she always has a talent for making each look feel personalized and radiant.
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life. Working with a professional artist ensures your look not only feels beautiful in person but also translates perfectly in photos. These talented Connecticut vendors are some of the best in the industry, and I highly recommend them to my brides.
