    Liz is the best!

    Liz is the best for makeup! I very rarely wear makeup and was worried about looking too “done up”. Liz made me feel naturally beautiful and even gently convinced me to do some fake eyelashes, too (which are very satisfying to take off, by the way!!!) Liz did my makeup for our engagement photos (the stickiest day on Earth and you couldn’t even tell!) and our wedding and it looked flawless both times.

    Liz’s calm demeanor also put me (and my family) at ease. She brought the “getting ready” room from chaotic to zen. I am thinking that I may need my makeup done professionally every once in a while just to feel as sparkly as I did after a makeup session with Liz!

    Incredible, relaxed, and professional!

    I am not someone who normally wears makeup and I wanted my makeup to feel natural but also special on my wedding day. Liz was able to accomplish this effortlessly both at the preview and on the wedding day itself. Liz was able to help guide me, make suggestions, and create a beautiful look that still felt like myself. Not only was she able to do this for me, so many of my bride's people and my mother in law also shared that they felt special, beautiful, and themselves from the makeup look Liz created for them. Liz is an artist who listens to individual's style, see's an individual's beauty, and creates a really relaxed atmosphere! I am so glad that I chose Liz to be my make up artist and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking!

    Incredible!!

    I recently worked with Liz for my September wedding in the Berkshires. After my trial, I knew she'd be amazing! I do not wear much makeup, and the look she did on me was SO natural but just the perfect amount -- all my friends were complimenting it!! Her looks on my sister and mom were also wonderful, bringing out their natural beauty. She also listened so well to any feedback I had on the trial. Great personality as well!! Definitely book Liz!!!

    AMAZING! Her professionalism, talent for stunning makeup, and outgoing personality makes her the perfect fit for anyone’s makeup!

    I cannot express enough how amazing Liz was! She was the true hero of the day on my wedding day. My original makeup artist booked my wedding for the wrong day and was unable to do mine or my bridal party’s makeup. My mom found Liz online, called her at 7am (on what happened to be her only Saturday off this summer) and within minutes, Liz called my mom back and was at our hotel within the hour. She was able to do not only mine and my bridal party’s makeup, but also my family members as well (who my original artist would not have had the time to do). She was not only outgoing and personable, but truly my ray of light in what was a horrible start to my wedding day! She fit right in with the chaos of my family and went with the flow. I can’t thank her enough for jumping in on her one weekend off for the summer and saving the day! Between her professionalism, BEAUTIFUL makeup, and ability to go with the flow in the midst of pure chaos, I cannot recommend and praise Liz enough!

    Fantastic!

    Liz had such calm energy on the wedding day and everyone looked amazing. Her expertise in matching skin tones and highlighting the best in everyone was clearly seen. I was able to do a trial the day of my engagement photos and I felt so beautiful. I only touched up my lipstick once the day of the wedding and everything else was perfectly set the whole night. Highly recommend Liz for your big day or really any event. Everything held up through all the tears and eating.

    Liz is amazing!

    Liz did makeup for my wedding and she was amazing to work with. From the first outreach, Liz was responsive, excited, and professional. I had so much fun at my makeup trial and Liz was really receptive to my vision and feedback.

    On the morning of the wedding, we threw Liz a real challenge by asking her to do makeup for me, my six bridesmaids, and my mother (8 faces in total). She crushed it and made us all look so beautiful. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and Liz managed to make me look like I wasn’t wearing much makeup — she enhanced my natural features so I felt beautiful while still making me feel like myself. I was so blown away by how beautiful my bridesmaids and mom looked, too - she captured each of our vibes while still maintaining cohesion. I was especially impressed with Liz’s professionalism and efficiency! Did I mention that she did 8 faces in less than 5 hours?! Wild.

    Oh and I am a crier, and Liz’s makeup stayed in place not only for the first look and ceremony (I was weeping), but also throughout hours of sweaty dancing. Teary brides take note! She is the real deal.

    The bottom line is this: Liz is amazing!! You will not regret booking with her!

    Definitely book Liz!

    I heard from a friend in the industry that Liz was the best and I could not agree more! Working with Liz for my wedding was so easy and I've truly never felt more beautiful and like myself.

    On the morning of our wedding, Liz arrived early to the venue to ensure our prep would be smooth and ahead of schedule. All of my bridesmaids and family looked so naturally gorgeous with the airbrush make up; plus it stayed all day and night, through sweat, tears and drinking! I was so pleased with how I looked and was so thankful to have Liz be a nice calming presence during the morning of my wedding. I could not recommend her more highly!

    Gorgeous bridal makeup!

    My experience with Liz was terrific all around. To begin with, I was looking for makeup for myself only, and really appreciate that she doesn't require a minimum number of people as so many makeup artists (understandably) do. Because of where I live I wasn't able to have a trial before hand, but Liz seamlessly worked from a few photos I showed her and created makeup for me that absolutely aligned with what I'd hoped for -- I felt like myself. On the day, she was a calm presence and lovely to chat with -- a real bonus ahead of lots of activity! Can't recommend her enough.

    We are so glad that went with Liz!! She was so relaxed and professional, and she did a great job of accommodating everyone's preferences. Everyone was so happy with their make-up! She did a great job of giving everyone a look that really enhanced their natural beauty. I highly recommend hiring Liz for your wedding if you have the chance!!

    Made me feel stunning!

    Liz was amazing to work with and she made me feel so gorgeous. I had two trials with her and she was immediately responsive to my feedback. She was patient, gentle, sweet, and put me at ease immediately with her calm energy. Liz worked with each one of my bridesmaids and adapted to the looks they were envisioning. She even gave me some lip color to add throughout the night. I genuinely enjoyed interacting with her. I often can be critical of how I look and I struggle with letting others be in control of how I look. But Liz made me feel really beautiful and calmed my nerves. Thank you for everything!

    Relaxed, Professional, Skilled MUA!

    Liz was the perfect person for our wedding makeup looks! She's incredibly versatile in her skills, but I appreciated that she leans in to a natural look. She is exceptionally responsive and professional, helped coordinate a makeup trial for my mother and I from her home studio, and worked with me while the numbers of faces on "the day" evolved over time!

    The day-of application was incredibly relaxing, and the makeup looked amazing and stayed put all night while we danced our butts off!

    Liz is amazing!

    Liz is the best of the best when it comes to makeup and did mine so beautifully on my wedding day. I had such a lovely experience working with her from start to finish, and she was so kind, responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. Not to mention she absolutely nailed the makeup look I wanted! One of my biggest concerns about my wedding "look" was appearing too made up and not like myself, but Liz managed to make me feel special and extra beautiful while still feeling natural. I felt amazing all day. My bridal party loved their makeup as well; we couldn't stop looking at ourselves in the mirror. :) If you're looking for a makeup artist who will make you feel like the best version of yourself, Liz is the one!

    Highly Recommend

    I highly recommend Liz Washer. She did my makeup as well as 7 of my friends/family for my wedding. Many of them don't typically wear much makeup and were hesitant. She did a great job of listening to what each person wanted and making them look and feel beautiful. She did a range of styles from minimal to bold and it all looked fantastic. I was very happy with my makeup. I don't like when makeup is overdone and looks caked on and that definitely was not the case with Liz. She's very professional and talented and I loved my wedding makeup.

    Prettiest I've Felt

    Liz did an amazing job with my makeup on my wedding day. I was a COVID bride, so we didn't get to do a trial, but Liz was responsive leading up to the wedding and assured me that I would love the way I looked - and she was right! I didn't have any reason to be nervous.

    I love makeup - I love watching videos and trying out things and learning new techniques, so makeup was a huge priority on my day. I didn't want to look overdone, and I wanted to make sure that when I look at my wedding photos years from now I didn't look crazy. Liz made me look like the best version of myself. My husband thought it was beautiful, and so did I. And it lasted throughout the entire night!

    She also did my 60+ year old mother's makeup and made her look great, as well as some spot treatment/deshine on my husband (definitely worth it for the photos and video, he gets shiny!)

    Not only did I love how it came out, but I felt safe the whole time. Her whole setup was clean, hygienic, and she had incorporated specific measures for COVID. Thanks, Liz!

    The very best of the best...

    I will not be able to express how wonderful Liz made me feel on my wedding day. One review wouldn't be enough! I've never felt more beautiful, but I also felt I still looked like me. Liz has an extraordinary ability to bring out someone's best features and play into her own unique beauty. What a talent. Any bride is lucky to have Liz part of her day. She is a professional through and through. I had gone through so many changes and stressful postponements, but the bright spot was getting married locally and having Liz as the makeup artist. Thank you for your talent, Liz.

    Liz is incredible!!!

    Liz did all the makeup for my wedding and she was just amazing. She took my vision and tailored the look to compliment my features/overall vibe. I felt so beautiful and most importantly didn’t feel like I was caked with makeup or over done. I really felt like the best version of myself. Liz was so patient doing the makeup for my nieces, who had manyyyy excited questions for her. The booking process, trial appointment and communications were straight forward. Everyone’s makeup looked incredible and stayed on the entire night. I couldn’t be happier that I booked Liz!

    Wedding Day make-up for 13 bridesmaids, bride, 2 moms!

    Liz and her team did an incredible job of doing the make-up for my wedding! Her calm and easy going but efficient personality helped keep the group on track and in a good headspace! She was great about arriving early to set up and being flexible with little shifts in the schedule! It was such an amazing experience to work with Liz from the trial to the day of!! She was able to give every bridesmaid the look they wanted from natural to bold!

    Phenomenal Makeup Artist

    If you want a very natural look with a touch of glam, Liz is the makeup artist for you! Liz is very professional, easy to work with and an overall phenomenal makeup artist!

    Throughout the planning process, Liz was extremely attentive; listening to my wedding vision, makeup ideas and answering any questions that I had. Her attentiveness made the experience so enjoyable. On my wedding day, there were 13 of us getting our makeup done and Liz and Crystal were unbelievable. They were fun to work with and they made my bridal party and I feel so comfortable and beautiful. They took the time to listen to what each girl wanted, and they created unique looks for everyone.

    As a bride, it was very important to me that my makeup looked natural with a little extra glam and Liz did exactly that. I have never felt more beautiful and my makeup was flawless! Liz had captured the look I was going for perfectly and even through lots of tears, sweat, and dancing, at the end of the night, I still looked amazing!

    If you are looking for a great makeup artist, I would jump at the chance to book her. Thank you, Liz!

    Amazing Experience with Liz

    All of my bridesmaids, family, and I were so happy with our makeup and felt so beautiful because of Liz. We had such a great time getting ready and were super impressed by the professional equipment and setup that she brought with her to our AirBnB the morning of the wedding. The airbrushing felt super light and my makeup lasted the entire day. At the trial, I was beyond impressed with her ability to look at my features and tailor the makeup to me even though I had no idea what to ask for going in. Liz is fantastic and I would highly recommend her!

    Blown away!

    So thrilled I decided to use Liz Washer for my wedding! My makeup was beautiful and natural, lasted the whole night, and made me feel like a princess. All of the women who had their makeup done LOVED their looks (and they are all family so they would be honest!). We had a last minute addition to our makeup lineup and Liz worked with me to accommodate. She made everyone feel welcome and comfortable and really took her time with each of us. I highly recommend Liz for your wedding makeup!

    Liz amazed me!

    On my wedding day I wanted to look like me, and Liz really followed through. I felt so beautiful, so me, yet more glam (if that makes sense). I don't usually do my makeup, but Liz knew exactly how to work with my tan skin tone, and knew exactly what color to make my eyes and smile pop. Liz is professional, she is accommodating, and she is so patient. I definitely recommend her!! Not only did she have to work on my large bridal party, but she also worked with many different makeup preferences. Liz completely nailed it. THANK YOU Liz from the bottom of my heart!

    Wish Liz could do my makeup everyday!

    I cannot recommend Liz enough. Liz and her friend/ fellow makeup artist, Betsy traveled to Manchester, VT to do the makeup for myself, the MOB, MOG, and 5 bridesmaids. They arrived early, managed to transform our hotel suite into a makeup studio with lighting and director chairs, stuck to the schedule and blew everyone away with the final product. I live in NJ and never got a chance to do a trial, but Liz realized my vision and let me play around with my lip color until we found the perfect one. The airbrushing was flawless and looked just as beautiful in person as it did in pictures. Liz and Betsy were both incredibly professional, thoughtful and very easy going and brought a calming presence into the bridal suite. They managed to bring out the natural beauty of all the girls and not only did everyone love it, but our makeup lasted all night!

    Liz is fabulous!

    I can't recommend Liz enough. She did the makeup for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding. Each of our makeup looks was different, but somehow they all fit together beautifully. She is just really good at "reading" people—she managed to match each of our makeup looks to our personalities. Also, she fit in a full face of makeup for one of my relatives, and make up touch-ups for two more (none of which had been planned in advance.)

    I have a number of family members in fashion and magazine design, and they were blown away by the quality of the makeup. Multiple people asked for Liz's contact info. She is a gem.

    Wonderful makeup artist

    We loved working with Liz on our makeup. She was very patient and understanding, and did a fantastic job. My fiancee wanted especially natural/light makeup, and Liz was able to give her exactly the look that she wanted. Our photos looked fantastic. Highly, highly recommended!
