Beth B. Sent on 11/24/2023So grateful for Holly!!
I really can’t say enough good things about working with Holly for Makeup for my wedding. Holly was a true partner not only on the day of my wedding but also in the months and weeks leading up to my wedding. She was always available to help with advice and help, and she completely understood my vision and absolutely nailed my look. I didn’t worry about Makeup at all because I absolutely trusted that she would nail it and she did.
She’s an extremely kind person, and when I was dealing with some scheduling stresses with my other vendors, she was super comforting and accommodating, and she really helped everything go smoothly.
In addition to being a great person and an absolute pleasure to work with, Holly is an absolute professional at what she does. Our group for the morning of my wedding day had many different skin types, including different ages, medical conditions, and skin tones. She worked with each person individually to make sure they looked their best, and also took into account their personal style. For example some people in my party liked a more glamorous look and some like to be more tone down and Holly customized each person look to their preferences. As the bride, I absolutely loved my look and everyone else in the party. It was extremely happy as well.
Not only did everyone look great, but we also were stress-free as she helped us. Keep the schedule going and made sure we were all relaxed.
If you’re looking for a make up artist at your wedding, just trust me and go with Holly if she’s available. I thoroughly interviewed 10+ make up artists in the central New York area and Holly was by far the best and as mentioned, she was an excellent partner leading up to my wedding and on the big day itself.
Thank you Holly!!!!!! -

From day 1 of contacting Holly she was responsive, informative, and had a great energy about her. She made the process easy from securing our date, payment, scheduling the makeup preview, and ensuring that we had a timeline in place for everyone to have their makeup done. She even provided tips to prepare my bridesmaid for the big day. I highly recommend Holly if you want someone experienced with a calm spirit to do your makeup! -

Amazing makeup artist
Holly and her team did my makeup and 6 bridesmaids and 2 mothers for our September wedding. Holly was professional throughout the entire process. We did a trial and I recommended some changes that I'd like and Holly did an outstanding job on the wedding day. They were professional, effective with their time, clean, and lovely to have during our getting ready process. I would recommend Holly to anyone! -

Holly was so warm and helpful from the very beginning of this process. She really spent the time to get to know me, my vision for my wedding, and was so thorough. She gave out documents detailing some getting-ready tips for both ladies and men, as well as a list of some really handy "emergency kit" items to have for getting ready day that were SO useful! The bridal profile that she asks you to fill out is also super detailed and I feel like she left no stone unturned. Planning a wedding is stressful and she really made me feel at ease. The makeup look she gave me for my wedding was INCREDIBLE! I am not a day-to-day makeup wearer and so the whole experience of getting my makeup done was new to me. But she was so patient and kind while I was struggling with watery eyes or when I asked her a million times if my fake eyelashes would stay on lol. She is so amazing and I HIGHLY recommend her!!!!A-List Makeup Artistry's reply:
Oh Michelle! Now I'm the one with watery eyes! Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your day. I was honored! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! XOXO -

I loved working with Holly!
Holly is super sweet, professional, and great to work with. I hired her under short notice and she was quickly responsive, willing to fix any errors I made in the plan, and then even sent me the most helpful information for prepping for my wedding. My makeup, my bridesmaids, and our two flower girls came out great! I could not recommend her enough! I am attaching a photo of me taken 6 hours after Holly did my makeup, still looking Fab! -

Jessica A. Sent on 11/08/2021Perfect "enhanced natural" BEAUTY
Holly & team were amazing to work with! I hired them for my wedding in Sept 2021 and really was thrilled with their work. All my bridesmaids got their makeup done and enjoyed having Holly & team glam them up! But we all really wanted to stick to neutral-but-beautiful kind of looks - Holly & team are perfect for that, in fact, it's their specialty!! Holly was super sweet, funny, and easy to connect with during the getting ready time on my wedding day. And leading up to it, she was easy and flexible to work with, provided additional tips & tricks beyond make up, and just seemed excited to be working with me! Highly recommend!!A-List Makeup Artistry's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words Jessica. It was our pleasure to be a part of your beauty team for your wedding! So glad you had a great day! -

Wonderful!!!
Holly was so wonderful to work with right from the beginning! She was so helpful during my trial to help me find my perfect wedding day look! She was always able to be reached when I had questions and then when Covid hit she was so flexible with my changing wedding plans! Holly crafted a beautiful wedding day look for me and my family on the big day. I would 100% recommend Holly to any bride. -

Morgan H. Sent on 10/27/2020Holly is an artist!
Holly is clearly experienced–she works efficiently, and her results are beautiful! She really brought each of my bridal party's personal styles to life. We got married during COVID, and she took every precaution to keep myself and my (limited) guests safe. I couldn't ask for a better artist.A-List Makeup Artistry's reply:
Morgan thank you so much for your kind words! It was my pleasure to work with you and your family! I wish you a lifetime of happiness! -

Christian M. Sent on 12/03/2021Wow, Holly just gets it!
Wow. Holly. So grateful for you!
I was feeling disorganized and stressed about my wedding when I first called Holly. By the grace of God, Holly was available on our date! Holly did not miss a beat.
I had a sizable bridal party to coordinate (5 sisters and 5 friends). She talked me through details I did not know to consider and gently offered her expertise and advice. All my bridesmaids were over the moon about their make up and the day was "drama" free. Holly was ON IT.....in a way that was calm, reassuring and unimposing.
Thank you, Holly! I can't sing your praises enough!! -

If you want professional, classy, flawless, feel like a celebrity for a day look no further then Holly! She truly is amazing and talented in her craft of make up. She makes you feel at ease the morning of one of the most special days of your life! She is very responsive on e-mail and phone. She asks for pictures of what you have envisioned for your day and makes your dreams a reality. She uses the best products, does airbrush (my personal favorite) and she individualized my look! Her attention to detail is unmatched. As soon as your date is set make sure to book her first! She has done all of my friends weddings as well! I told her I couldn't get married without her on my special day! Truly a gem of a person and it was my good fortune to have her with me on my wedding day!A-List Makeup Artistry's reply:
Oh gosh Katie! This made me tear up! It was my absolute pleasure to be a part of your day. And I feel I ganed a friend through this whole experience. XOXO -

Amazing Makeup Artist
Holly is an amazing makeup artist and person. She is wonderful to work with. It’s a true skill to apply makeup to all different faces and skin tones, and to still make everyone feel beautiful. In the beginning, I was drawn to how natural makeup appeared and my wedding makeup came out better than I ever imagined. Book with A-list Artistry! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Holly for everything! -

Mary K. Sent on 08/21/2019Above and beyond!
I hired Holly to do my makeup, my mom's makeup, and my 5 bridesmaids. I chose Holly because in her description she wrote "the makeup will enhance and not overpower", which is exactly what I wanted. I've been in other weddings where I feel like a clown with the amount of makeup and knew that wasn't what I wanted. I told Holly that and when I went in for my trial she captured exactly what I wanted based on pictures I found. For the day of the wedding, I told her what I liked from the trial and a couple things I wanted to change and she was very accommodating. My mom and bridesmaids were very pleased with their makeup as well. I titled this "above and beyond" because not only did Holly do our makeup but she e-mail me tips and reminders about everything for the big day. A packing list for our purses, when to get our nails done, etc. It was very helpful! You can't go wrong hiring Holly! -

Katherine Sent on 08/02/2019Superb friendly makeup artist!
Holly is my go-to makeup artist in Central New York. She brings a calm, friendly demeanor to the room, no matter how high stress the situation is! She has done my makeup for a boutique fitness photoshoot, my engagement photos, and now my wedding photos. She does an absolutely incredible job of highlighting the natural beauty of each person she is working on and the makeup stays on all day no matter how much you sweat or cry! She stayed with us through the ceremony to do any touch ups necessary (and there were very few). I cannot recommend Holly highly enough - she does a beautiful job!A-List Makeup Artistry's reply:
Katherine, thank you so much for your kind words! It has been a pleasure working with you and I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the future.
Warmly

Shannon Sent on 06/24/2019Holly is amaing
Admittedly, I entered my bridal beauty team search without knowing much about hair and makeup. I am a self-proclaimed tomboy, and have only had a full-face of makeup a few times in my life when I was a bridesmaid in other weddings. Every time I had ever had my makeup done for me, I have left the chair to secretly wipe half of it off. I had previously felt like getting your makeup professionally done meant a face full of heavy makeup, and the result of looking like some weird contoured/instagram influencer-wannabe version of myself
.....but not with Holly @ A-List Artistry!
Holly is AH-MAAAZZZING.
I sat with her and confessed all my previous beauty fails in getting my makeup done elsewhere. She listened to my concerns, and we spoke at length about my beauty routine, my desires for my wedding-day look, and even shared inspiration pictures from pinterest. Really, all I was in search of was a beauty look that made me feel like the best, most refined, well-rested, version of myself! And Holly delivered that, and more!
Beyond her incredible talent for the enhanced-natural airbrush makeup look she gave me, she also acted as a wedding-consultant, sharing tips and tricks for things to plan for and pack for the day of. She was the consummate professional, and made myself and my bridesmaids feel like the best versions of ourselves!
12 out of 10 stars. Holly, you're the best. Thank you!

Jordy G. Sent on 06/16/2019Wonderful experience
We are so glad we found Holly! She was able to make us feel our absolute best. I'm glad we did a trial with her as well because I was able to try out some different looks and really hone in on what would be perfect for wedding day. She made our moms and bridesmaid feel spectacular--everyone felt like their best version of themselves! She was great about coming to our venue and setting up a little make up station in the bridal suite. Holly is extremely friendly and warm. She was a great presence in the room as we were all getting ready! Highly recommend! -

Luciana T. Sent on 05/09/2019Don't hesitate! AMAZING makeup.
I had a brand photoshoot and was referred to Holly to have my makeup done. This was the first time I ever had my makeup done, so I really did not know what to expect. Also, I rarely wear makeup, so it was difficult to tell what exactly I wanted. I left that part up to Holly, to do what she felt was best for me.
The appointment took almost an hour, and that time flew by. Talking to Holly was easy and fun, and I enjoyed being in her company. I was worried that the makeup would feel heavy, or look caked on up close since there were many layers of products that were being applied to my face.
When I finally got to look, I was so blown away! I couldn't believe the magic she did. It was so natural and I felt completely like myself. She gently enhanced all of my features and didn't overdo a thing.
Once I got the photos back from the shoot, I still couldn't believe how great the makeup looked. We shot both indoors and out, and everything was perfect. I looked like I was glowing, and felt amazing.
Holly is well worth hiring for your makeup needs. You can tell she loves what she does, and has a definite skill.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
