Warpaint was amazing - professional, easy to coordinate with, and of course our makeup was flawless. I had Laura D. as my artist and I highly highly recommend her. After our trial run (which was beautiful) I wanted a few adjustments for the actual wedding day and she listened to exactly what I wanted and it ended up perfectly natural looking. Also booked her for my rehearsal dinner as well and it was totally worth it to not have to do it myself that night. The second artist who came and did most of my beautiful bridesmaids was also wonderful and so fun.

We had Mia from WarPaint come to our home this past Saturday for my daughters bridal party. It was so nice to have Mia there doing make up while the girls could just relax and visit before all the festivities. I would highly recommend an onsite makeup artist(s) for a bridal party and would definitely recommend WarPaint. So professional from services provided to billing. It is money well spent and one of the things I am glad we did for this event.

I had gone through 2 awful makeup and hair trials and I couldnt go through with it and turned to WarPaint. Jessica and Wendy were AMAZING!!! Worth every penny. They are receptive to feedback and wanting to make sure you are happy with it. They want to know what you like and do not like. Very professional! You can stop looking now!! You found them!!!

I could not be happier with my experience with WPI! My bridal party and I were lucky enough to work with Keely (hair and makeup artists) and Kathleen (hair stylist) on my wedding day. They made sure we were always on time and were open to looking at our inspiration photos while suggesting what they thought was best. I felt so confident on my wedding day because my trial with Keely went perfectly.

We were a little nervous about how COVID restrictions would affect our hair and makeup process, but we felt completely safe with WPI and it all worked out great. I would absolutely recommend WPI and their team because of our experience with them!

WarPaint was fantastic to work with for our latest company event! They were friendly, efficient, and very flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend them to anyone!

I had the best experience with Lori from WPI. She gave me the wedding hairstyle of my dreams and helped me feel so relaxed on the big day! The booking process with WPI was super easy and I would highly recommend their services!!

Will never be able to show this group of artists just how grateful we are for all your unbelievable skills. I'm in complete awe over how this group of amazing women came in and implemented hair and makeup for my daughters wedding day. Working side by side to transform the entire wedding party to complete perfection. You are no less than 10 star worthy!!

I have had several different types of experiences with WarPaint International, all of which have been nothing short of spectacular and relaxing. I was honored to be a featured model in one of WPI's Fall Trend shoots, which was wonderful to experience seeing how amazing their team works together & provides an uplifting atmosphere. I've also had WPI come TO ME for several events in recent months to prep my make up and hair in locations such as an office, conference room, hotel room and photo studio. WPI has also partnered with me to help me feel and look my best for numerous episodes of my web series. All of these occasions are always so warm and calming, plus the results are SUPERIOR!

Jessica was amazing and I was thrilled that she was able to nail down the look I was going for without a trial run. Jessica was able to step in and make me the most beautiful bride on such short notice (I had a poor experience in the trial run with another company in the short weeks leading up to my big day and decided not to hire them even forfeiting my deposit!). Jessica did the make up for my sister-in-law's wedding, so I knew I was in great hands as my sister-in-law looked flawless on her big day!

I felt that Jessica really listened to what I had to say and that we actually connected on a deeper level than just the normal client/artist level. Jessica brings a calming energy that is perfect for the morning of your big day. I love that you can immediately sense how passionate she is about what she does. If I am ever in need of getting my make up done again for an event I won't hesitate in hiring WarPaint.

Warpaint was the best decision I made for my wedding look. They were so easy to communicate with, schedule the trial, create a beauty timeline, and break down all the cost options. All of my bridesmaids and both moms used them. Even my husband got his hair done! Everyone arrived on time and ready to go the day of. Jessica, Mariah, Mia, Lori, Natalie and Heather were amazing to work with! Full of energy and professional. We rocked our looks through a three hour picture session in 90 degree weather (in September!) and well into the night. Highly, highly recommend

I can't say enough a this talented group of artist! I am someone who rarely wears a lot of makeup and in the past have never been happy when getting my makeup done. Additionally, my now husband, never likes a lot of makeup either. So needless to say, I was apprehensive to get my makeup done professionally for my wedding day. I didn't want it to feel sticky or heavy and above all, I didn't want to not look like myself.

I knew immediately Jessica Mae would be the only one I would trust to do my makeup, I was blown away when she did the trail and EVEN he couldn't believe how amazing it looked. Instead of "making me up", she enhanced my face. Not only is she amazingly talented, she is also a wonderful person! So easy to work with, she's sweet, fun but still very precessional. When it came to my hair, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted done.

I showed Katie a picture I liked and she went above and beyond with my hair. It stayed all night and I received so many complements on it! I felt absolutely stunning! Along with Katie, Mariah was there also to do my bridesmaids hair and they looked gorgeous! I loved having them start the day with us in our hotel room, I wasn't frantic trying to get everyone to appointments on time. WarPaint blew me away with the talented artists! I would have decided on them a thousand times over again for my wedding!!!
