Fantastic service!

Smudge Makeup was the perfect pick for hair/makeup for our wedding! Amber was so responsive and helpful, and brought the right amount of staff for our big wedding party in central MA and on a holiday. We had two brides, 10 bridesmaids, and 2 MOBs, and they did a flawless job with everyone's hair and makeup, as well as staying on schedule. One bridesmaid was added day of for hair and they were so nice and flexible. The makeup and hair were absolutely perfect; I felt like myself but absolutely glamorous and it was the perfect balance. Our hair and makeup both looked amazing all night. Amber and her team were so wonderful and made us feel so beautiful for our big day. Thank you so much!!!

A Great Hair and Makeup Team!

Smudge was a great vendor choice for my wedding! Amber was so responsive and flexible, even when we decided last minute to add an additional hair service. Kristy and Stephanie were absolutely WONDERFUL right from the trial to the day of the wedding, they listened to exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job with all of my bridesmaids as well. I highly recommend the whole Smudge team to anyone looking for hair and makeup services!
