  I had my makeup done by Joanne for a wedding and she did a great job.  The makeup stayed on all night and looked like it was just applied 6 hrs later.  She was extremely professional and considerate and made sure I was extremely satisfied with how she applied my makeup.  I would definitely recommend her to help you with any occasion Kim F

 Joanne did my make-up for the most memorable day of my life - my wedding day! On the morning of the wedding, she came to my home and did my make-up which everyone was complimenting me on. It looked natural, but also bold enough to stand out in pictures. Joanne takes your personal preferences, as well as her professional knowledge to really make you look the best that you can on such a special and important day! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family! Thanks Joanne! - Erika P

  "I am an Asian-American and I was looking for a professional makeup artist who knew how to do my makeup (especially my eyes) AND would listen to my opinions and wants about how I wanted my makeup to look.  I have had other makeup artists do my makeup in the past and they either had no idea what to do with my Asian eyes or totally disregarded my opinions about how I wanted the makeup to look on my face.  Joanne, on the other hand, listened to my needs, and improved on them to create a wonderful bridal look for me on my wedding day!  Thank you so much Joanne!" Nancy G

   Joanne was fantastic to work with for my wedding makeup.  I am someone who normally doesn't wear any makeup and wanted to go with a natural look, and she was able to do exactly what I wanted.  We picked out all of the colors at the trial so I didn't have to think about anything the day of the wedding.  On my wedding day, after a few of us had gotten our makeup done, my mother-in-law decided on the spot that she would get hers done as well since she liked what Joanne had done so much!  I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to get their makeup done professionally at an affordable price!  Judy D

  Joanne was a great pleasure to work with! She took great care in listening to my vision for my wedding day makeup look. She was very professional and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. I loved her makeup line & used it throughout the day for touch-ups. I didn't even feel like I had makeup on-it is that light! My mother and bridesmaids looked BEAUTIFUL that day. I can't thank you enough Joanne for making me look like a princess! She will do the same for you, I promise - Elizabeth D

   "We found Joanne online and hired her to do the makeup at my daughter's wedding. We did a dry-run the week before and were very pleased with her work. She came the morning of the wedding and did an absolutely beautiful makeup job for me, the groom's mother and, of course, the bride. Joanne was very easy to work with and followed our request for a natural look. I highly recommend her - Amy Y

 On your wedding day there are a million things running through your mind! I am very picky about my makeup as I have light skin and can easily look like a clown with too much! Joanne made the whole thing very easy. I described very briefly what I wanted and before I knew it she had a plan! She made me and my bridesmaids feel completely comfortable and it looked amazing all day!!! Even after my outdoor wedding in the heat! Thank you so much Joanne!!  Lisa

 I had just recently got married and had Joanne as my makeup artist.  I was very pleased with all of her work for myself and my girls the day of the wedding.  The makeup looked great, she was quick and within the timeframe that she had given me previously and very affordable in price.  Victoria S 

   Joanne did my makeup for my brother's wedding. I'm a 21-year-old girl who does not normally wear a lot of makeup, so I was hesitant to get too much done. Joanne listened to what I said and made sure my makeup looked great, but still natural. She took her time and showed me everything she was doing to put me at ease. Throughout the night I received countless compliments on my makeup! She also took some really nice photos of me which she emailed me after.  Joanne is great and I'm so happy I called her.  Maria F

 Joanne did a wonderful job as the makeup artist for my wedding.  I am the type of person who appreciates the value of makeup, but I do not wear much makeup in my day-to-day life.  I was looking for a makeup artist who could enhance my features without making me look overly made up.  It is just not my style.  Joanne FULLY RESPECTED my makeup wishes, and really did an excellent job giving me a natural look that did enhance my best features.  But, Joanne wasn't only good at doing natural looks.  My mother loves makeup, and Joanne did a great job with her as well.  Furthermore, Joanne arrived on site on time and had every person finished on schedule, making the pre-wedding preparations much more relaxing.  On top of all of this, Joanne charges a very reasonable price for her services.  I would certainly recommend Joanne if you are looking for a talented and respectful makeup artist. Jana G

Joanne is an amazing makeup artist and I am so glad I found her for my wedding! On my wedding day, she did makeup for me, my mom, and five bridesmaids. I do not wear a ton of makeup normally, so I was nervous. Joanne was spot on, I felt beautiful and elegant without feeling over the top. The bridesmaids and my mom also looked stunning. We got so many compliments! I had a trial with her before the wedding and choose colors that were natural and brought out my best features. I decided to use false lashes and they really made my eyes pop and look gorgeous. The day of, she came prepared and stuck to her schedule, which was really important to me. It was one less thing for me to worry about. We got married in July on an extremely hot and humid day in a church with no air conditioning! I was so pleased that my makeup lasted all day and still looked great by the time our reception started hours later. Throughout the day everyone continued to rave about how lovely my make-up was. I would highly recommend Joanne! Thank you for making me look beautiful on my special day!  Kim B

"For my wedding, I did not want a lot of heavy makeup. When I went on a makeup trial with Joanne, everything she chose was perfect. I loved the color options available to me, and she provided me with her professional opinion when I wasn't certain of something. On the day of my wedding, she did makeup for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law at one of their houses, then met me, my mother and bridal party at the venue. She made it less stressful and brought everything we used at the trial. I looked beautiful, and am so thankful to her for the great job she did!!! My mother and everyone else who saw Joanne that day was very pleased with the work she did. By the end of the night after hours of fun, none of the makeup faded or wore off. I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a makeup artist with plenty of options and colors, and ne who is flexible and affordable. Thank you for making me look so beautiful on my wedding day!!"  Jaime

 Joanne is a wonderful makeup artist. She did all of the makeup for my wedding. She arrived early to set up and waited patiently for us to be ready. She listened to what we wanted and has us check the makeup each step of the way. Our makeup was impeccable and beautifully done. The makeup felt invisible and lasted all day, through every picture and every song we danced through that night. At the end of the night, when I went to wash my face, I looked just as I did first thing that morning. I look forward to using Joanne to do my makeup for future upcoming special events.  Toni Ann

 Joanne did my makeup on my wedding day and it came out absolute beautiful! Joanne was very consistent with sending emails back and forth making sure everything was all good for my wedding day! I had such a bad breakout on my face and she was able to cover it all on my face. After she finished doing my makeup it was such a transformation. I loved how I looked. I got so many compliments on the night of my wedding. Everyone said, whoever did your makeup did it just right! It made me feel great that night that people loved how my makeup turned out! I would definitely recommend Joanne for doing someone else's makeup and to do mine again down the road if I ever needed it. She also took some great before and after makeup photos at my makeup trial which I really liked a lot  Thanks Joanne Jillian B

 As a mature bride, it was important to me, as it is to any bride, that I look as good as possible in my wedding day photographs. Equally important though, I still wanted to look like myself, ONLY BETTER. Joanne helped me achieve that. Truth be told, I really needed a make-up use and application refresher any way – it had a been a long time since I had any type of makeover. I not only looked and felt wonderful and confident on my special day, Joanne gave me tools and techniques that I can use every day to look my best for work or special occasions. Thanks Joanne!  Roseann C

 I can’t say enough good things about Joanne’s talent as a makeup artist. Not having worn makeup for many year’s I wanted Joanne to make me look as natural as possible with as little makeup as possible for my son’s wedding. She came through with flying colors. I got sooo many compliments from my friends and family. I highly recommend her for whatever special occasion you may be attending. You won’t regret it  Marsha 

 Joanne helped me prepare for my civil/religious ceremony and she was great!  She showed up at the requested time and brought her entire makeup gear with her. She duplicated exactly the makeup that I asked her to do and on top of that assisted me with fixing my hair. She did a very natural makeup on me which I requested and and while she was doing it she consulted with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy. I totally recommend her. Thanks  Noani

 "Joanne did a wonderful job on makeup for my daughter's wedding. She is particularly good with children (we had four between the ages of 8 and 13). They were not overdone and the makeup helped them feel special for their roles in the wedding. I, as the mother of the bride, do not normally wear makeup but Joanne was able to subtly make a very big difference. Her choice of lipstick for me is now my favorite shade. Of course, the bride enjoyed the pampering. Joanne was very conscientious. She showed up and finished on time, even though we added three more faces than we had originally said would be there. We all are thankful to Joanne for a nice job."  Leslie M

 Joanne did an excellent job with the makeup for my wedding.  I had a makeup trial done and everything was just like we had discussed.  She also did the makeup for my 4 brides maids and my mother.  Everyone was very happy with their makeup and the prices were very reasonable!  If you are looking for a natural, soft look, Joanne is definitely a great choice!  She also took some nice head shots for me at the trial which she emailed me afterwards.  I would recommend her to anyone looking for makeup for their wedding or if they just want some head shots.  Michelle C

 My bridesmaids and I loved the beautiful job that Joanne did on the wedding day. We all got the exact look we wanted. I'm a big fan of natural-looking makeup, and she created an effect that worked with my features, and also showed up really well in the photographs. I felt beautiful, and my bridesmaids did too! Joanne is also a delight to be around, and all of her services were extremely reasonable in terms of cost. Thanks again, Joanne!  Gabrielle M

 Thank you for such a wonderful job you did on My Bridesmaids and I. You made us look absolutely gorgeous! The makeup lasted all night while I danced my butt off it didn't even smudge! I will refer you to anyone I know who needs their makeup done for an event in the future.  Also thank you for the pictures I will make sure the girls get them!!  Toni C. S.

 Thank you so much for everything Joanne! You did an amazing job on everyone and I would use you again for another major event. Thanks so much for making us all so pretty and for being so awesome!  Karen 

 Joanne did my makeup for my wedding and it was perfect! Every bridesmaid was so happy with how their makeup came out and everyone looked truly stunning. She makes you look beautiful without caking on pounds of makeup. Highly recommended!  Alexis

 Joanne is a wonderful makeup artist! She did an amazing job the day of my wedding. I would definitely recommend Joanne for any event you have in the future :-)  Cristina

  Very natural makeup, was great on my sensitive skin, flawless look that stayed on all day! Loved that Joanne stayed around to do touch ups after the bridal party got in their dresses.  Jennifer P

 Joanne was a fantastic makeup artist and a pleasure to work with. I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day, thanks to her work! She listened to what I wanted and gave great recommendations, all at the same time. I would definitely work with her again in the future and highly recommend her!  April M

 As mother of the groom, i.e. an "older woman," I was a greater challenge than many.  Joanne made me look 10 years younger and showed a creativity that was exceptional.  I would recommend her without reservation Judy F

 I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all your services for our wedding on October 10th. Our makeup was fantastic. You did it exactly the way you did for my makeup trial. It looked exactly as I wished  Michelle O

 Joanne was wonderful! She arrived promptly and her makeup was beautiful. It was very natural looking. I loved working with her!  Kaitlin S

 First, let me thank you for the wonderful job you did on ALL OF US!!!.  We could not be happier and will gladly recommend you to anyone we know needing your services.  Your knowledge and patience made it very easy for a group of ladies who were all under a lot of stress.  The wedding was wonderful. KIM 

 I was very happy with your work.  My skin tends to get oily very easy and I stayed dry the entire day (plus I did a lot of dancing!) The photos came out beautifully! I couldn't have been happier.   Thanks Again Krista T

  Wow, what a transformation for me from BC (before coffee) to WR (wedding ready)! 

With at least 9 appointments, I'm sure the day was a workout for the make-up & hair team... but everyone came out as stunning as if they were the only ones getting done-up that day! I really appreciate their time & expertise! & personal attention to each person! Joanne and her hairstylist are absolutely on my call-back & recommendation lists!! Thanks for the photos too(-:  Lynn

  I just wanted to say thank you for Saturday! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and it lasted the entire night, even with lots of dancing. The girls also looked great and were thrilled with how their hair and makeup turned out! So thank you so much (Joanne and your hairstylist and makeup assistant). We know lots of people getting married soon, so I will definitely recommend you!  Rachel 

 Joanne is an artist! I highly recommend her services for any makeup needs. She took great care of myself, my mother and my sister on my wedding day. She was extra punctual arriving at the venue moments before I did and professional too. She achieved each of the looks we were hoping for beautifully. A few weeks prior to the wedding day, I found Joanne’s contact information on the KNOT. She had excellent reviews as an affordable makeup artist and now I happily echo them. Thank you for everything!  Dana F

 Joanne-Makeup Artist and Laurie Hairstylist are definitely 2 people I would recommend to any future brides to be. They both were professional, on time and friendly. The girls at my wedding looked great and the pictures came out fabulous. I wanted a natural look for my wedding and that’s exactly what Joanne did. I looked beautiful and not like a totally different person. They both make a great team. You would be very happy with their services, believe me. Their prices are reasonable compared to various other makeup artists and hairstylists that I have contacted. Thank you once again and God bless you both Sincerely Sue

    Joanne did an amazing job on my makeup the day of my wedding. All my girls and. The moms looked amazing. She took the time to listen and take notes on what it is that i wanted for my special day. We also used her hair stylist who did amazing work. We had a 1920s wediing and the work they did made everything come together beautifully  Letha

 Joanne really helped me with makeup at a family wedding. I just took my dress at the trial and she weaved those colors in makeup that they were subtle and it stayed till the end of the function. I was really concerned about it, since it was long ceremony. My makeup stayed on even when I teared up and all was fine. on top of that I wanted a natural look that Joanne did it so perfectly. My pics came out wonderful. she is so easy going and takes time to listen your opinions and what you want rather than doing the stereo type thing. I would highly recommend her to anyone, who is looking for a makeup artist. Toral

 I had hired Joanne for my Indian-ritual baby shower. I was absolutely pleased with the decision to go with her ! Not only she is skilled in her art, she is equally dedicated to client's need. She did my make up exactly as I had imagined. She gave me pleasant eye make-up with natural look on my face that went very well with my saree. I received lot of compliments, Joanne indeed made my event more beautiful thanks again Chaaru

 "I had a friend's wedding to go to and I thought I needed some professional help.  It had been a while since I really had time to dress up for an occasion.  So when I was clueless as to who I should look for help, I bumped into Joanne's website and I was impressed with her portfolio and thought I would give her a try.  She did a fabulous job and I was so happy that I found her.  She used the right colors for my skin tone and gave me some useful tips.  She has the skills of a professional and I would certainly recommend  her."  Priya

 Joanne was a wonderful start to our engagement party night, our make-up looked clean and flattering and our pictures came out just lovely. I would certainly invite her back and wish I could use her on a daily basis! Thanks again!  Olivia T

 We can't thank you enough for doing our daughter and her friends make up for the Sweet "16" Party. The night was a success and the girls looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We will certainly call you again when another special event is scheduled. Cathy R

 "Joanne did a wonderful job on my makeup for the event.  She took her time, and really tried to look for colors that looked great on me.  Thanks Joanne!"  Jillian S

 I hired Joanne to do the makeup for my wedding in May. We did a practice session a couple weeks before which worked out great. We picked out most of the colors and shades to use. It made the morning of the wedding run much smoother. She did a great job on myself (the bride) and the matron of honor. The makeup lasted throughout the day and night. I only had to reapply my lipstick a couple of times. I received many compliments on my makeup. Joanne was on time and very professional. Her prices were very affordable and reasonable. She even comes with her own line of makeup that is just as good as any well known brands. If you are looking for a makeup artist that will make you look beautiful for your wedding, then I would definitely recommend calling Joanne thanks Kathy C

 Joanne was a great pleasure to work with! She took great care in listening to my vision for my wedding day makeup look. She was very professional and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. I loved her makeup line & used it throughout the day for touch-ups. I didn't even feel like I had makeup on-it is that light! My mother and bridesmaids looked BEAUTIFUL that day. I can't thank you enough Joanne for making me look like a princess! She will do the same for you, I promise!! Elizabeth D

 Thank you Joanne for a great job on my wedding day makeup. You did a really amazing job, and everyone complimented me on how great I looked, especially my new husband. The makeup lasted the whole day, and it felt great on, like I didn’t even have anything on. All the products are really comfortable and long-lasting; especially the powder was great since I didn’t look shiny in the pictures and the powder itself wasn’t visible so that’s really good. Typically when I do my own makeup I have a shiny forehead, but with your powder I didn’t. Also thank you for the pictures u took of me, they come out great, you can definitely see the difference in the skin tone before and after. Thank you so much, and I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone I know who is getting married. Plus the price is very affordable so you just can’t go wrong.  Irene 

 I used Joanne for my makeup and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding and everyone came out so beautiful.  She also took the time to give us touch up after we got dressed as well. The makeup products that she offers are great too, I'm happy with my lip liner and lipstick. Thanks  Denise F

 I had my hair and makeup done by Joanne. I was very pleased with how nice I came out. I almost didn't recognize myself. She also took pictures of me before and after and I really got to see the difference it made with my appearance. I left her house feeling great! I felt attractive and confident with my looks, thanks to Joanne. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look good  Lourdes 

  I went to Joanne for personal makeup lessons. I not only had a great time trying on the color schemes, but she helped me learn how to apply my make up so it would accentuate my good points. I really enjoyed learning how to achieve a great look for my eyes and her color choices brightened up my face. I would recommend Joanne for an event or just an everyday lesson in makeup. Terry 

 Joanne did wonderful work on my wedding day! It was so important to me that she was able to come to our house since it was one less worry for me on my big day. Joanne was quick in communicating via email and on the phone and confirmed all details with me multiple times. As far as her work...Joanne did my makeup, a bridesmaid's makeup, and my mother's makeup. We all looked beautiful and natural which is exactly what we wanted! I couldn't believe that all of our makeup stayed perfectly despite tears, dancing, and 95 degree heat! I have purchased Joanne's lipstick, eyeliner, powder and foundation and every single product is great on my skin, even though I have a tendency to break out easily. I would highly recommend Joanne if you want to be sure you will look your best for that special occasion!!  Lindsay

 My wedding day turned out to be a success and I would like to say my biggest Thank you to Joanne for accomplishing what she does best and that is making sure that all 9 of us girls looked pretty and fresh on my big day. Joanne is very efficient and she has very good time management. Her make-up line complimented my skin color and she makes sure that you are happy with how you look, that includes at the trial session as well. I will definitely recommend Joanne to my friends who will be looking for a great and affordable make-up artist for any special occasion. Thanks again! Stephanie

 I met Joanne three years ago when my daughter was preparing for a wedding. She did a make-up trial for both of us and made us look beautiful. This July, my sister was married and Joanne did the make-up on my sister, her daughters, my daughter and myself. Our ages ranged from 30 to 70 years old, and we all have different coloring. Joanne created individualized make-up for each of us. Everyone's make-up was different but equally glamorous. Joanne has a wonderful eye for color. I use her techniques for applying my own make-up and believe the results are much better using her techniques. I also use Joanne's make-up line. there is no better foundation anywhere! She also took some really nice before and after makeup pictures of us that she emailed us afterwards. Michelle 

 I had my makeup done for my fall wedding by Joanne and she did exactly what I asked for and made me look and feel beautiful. I absolutely loved how my makeup came out, it was so natural looking. All 5 of my bridesmaids were also very happy with the makeup. She has her own really nice line of makeup that I even purchased after my trial. My face was a little broken out at the time and if the wedding but after wearing Joanne's foundation and powder I received several compliments that my skin looked so clear. I love that it covers your flaws without looking like your wearing a ton of makeup! My wedding was the first time I ever wore lipstick I even purchased one from her. I would not hesitate to use Joanne for my next event!!  Nicole N

 Joanne was wonderful from beginning to end! She was very accommodating, and all 9 ladies (myself included) looked amazing! The quality of work was perfect throughout, even though it was a long day for her. Her makeup line is great as well, I bought a few pieces for touch ups, as did some of my bridesmaids. The powder compact was a lifesaver! Laurie, the hairstylist, was amazing also! Everyone just looked gorgeous! I'm very insecure about how I look, and I felt so beautiful. Cindy C

Joanne did a fabulous job on my makeup for my wedding. I am the type that does not wear a ton of makeup. I prefer a more natural look. Joanne was able to achieve that with ease but still make my features stand out. I got so many compliments on my makeup. My wedding was on a hot day in July and her makeup lasted through out the entire event. Her makeup line seemed great too. She was also very professional and thorough in her correspondence with me in the weeks leading up to the wedding. I would definitely use Joanne again if I needed my makeup done for another event. Thanks Jill 

 Joanne did the makeup for my aunt's July wedding. She managed to handle four bridesmaids and the bride (my aunt) efficiently, and everyone looked wonderful! I was a little worried at first that our makeup would not stand up through an outdoor wedding and cocktail hour in the July heat, but boy was I wrong. The makeup stayed fresh throughout the night. In fact, my mom wore her false eyelashes for days after!!! I was a big fan of Joanne's products even before my aunts wedding, and the other bridesmaids loved them as well. I could not recommend her more!  Kelly

 I just wanted to say thank you for doing a great job with my makeup for my wedding day. I loved the colors you put on me, and the makeup lasted the whole day. I highly recommend Joanne because she knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding, and I looked beautiful on that day. Joanne also did my mother and my bridesmaids and all of them were beautiful. Joanne is very reasonable with her prices. She also has great products in her makeup line NEW CREATION COSMETICS that I am currently using. She took some nice after makeup pictures of us that she emailed us after. Thanks Jennifer P

 A big thank you to Joanne! She did a wonderful job on me and my bridal party. Everyone loved their make up and the natural look she gave us. We all looked elegant. Great customer service at very reasonable prices, and her make up line is great too! She also took some head shots of us before the makeup and then after the makeup and hair after we were dressed and she emailed them to us after. We all looked great in the photos. Joanne is good at taking pictures too. I highly recommend her. Tanya  

Many thanks for the make up you did for me on Saturday. Everyone thought I look beautiful. My makeup looked flawless. I highly recommend Joanne!  Sarah

 Joanne did a wonderful job on my wedding day. She was extremely accommodating and made me look beautiful on my special day.  She understood exactly what I wanted which was bringing out my natural beauty.  She used her own products, which are great.  I would highly recommend her. Cristina O

Joanne is a professional and personal makeup artist!  She did my makeup exactly as I had imagined it to be for my wedding- professional but natural looking!  Her products are great too!  They feel light and airy on your face but last for hours enhancing your beauty!  Jen C

 Thank You Joanne, for the great makeup work you did for the girls and myself for my daughters quinceanera. You arrived ready to work and the girls really loved the way they looked!  We also loved the products from your makeup line. An added benefit was the nice photos that you took of everyone.  I really appreciated your great communication with me through the process and your prices were more than reasonable. I would definitely recommend you in the future. Thank you again. Nilsa and the Girls

 Joanne did amazing for my makeup for a party. I had a lot of people comment on my makeup saying it worked perfectly with my dress. After i removed the makeup my face didn't feel clogged. my face felt amazing. I absolutely love her own makeup line that she uses and she knows what she's doing. Mariah

 I really enjoyed the way Joanne did my make up for my cousin's wedding. She was very thorough and attentive to my needs. You can see the difference between the before and after makeup pictures she took. I liked her make up line as well. I wanted fake eyelash's and Joanne did a great job putting them on and they looked very natural. I highly recommend Joanne for your next occasion if you need a make up artist. Thank you again Joanne Bernie S

 Joanne is a wonderful make-up artist. She is professional, prompt, and courteous. She knew exactly what color foundation to select for my skin tone in order to create a flawless look. She has the expertise to choose and to blend beautiful eye shadow colors that accentuate my blue eyes. Joanne has done my make-up for several of my music videos and I have always been very, very happy with her work. In addition, she offers her very own professional make-up line NEW CREATION COSMETICS.  One of my favorite lipstick colors that she has is the "Pink Lady." I love this lipstick because it gives my lips a refreshing, smooth, and vibrant look. Lastly, Joanne took before and after photos of me that were great. I love her work! If you are looking for a professional make-up artist, I highly recommend Joanne  Kowalski.  Catherine

 Joanne, I am so happy that I found you. The makeup you did on me for my son's wedding was amazing, Thanks for the before and after makeup pictures you took of me also that you emailed me. Indeed I looked 10 years younger. I got so many compliments. Even my husband who doesn't like to see me wearing makeup, told me how much he liked it. My son's wedding was so emotional, I cried but the makeup stayed intact. I will definitely used your services again. Thank you again for making me look glamorous. Also the quality of your products is fantastic, I purchased your brushes, foundation and lipstick. Once I put it on it made me look like a different person. I feel glamorous and confident. Thank you Joanne for your advice! I have the brushes and the makeup now I can look great whenever I need to. Best regards!  Luminita 

As an 80+ year old, applying makeup has become a chore. My dexterity in wielding cosmetic brushes leaves much to be desired as the numbness in my fingers as well as the muscle deterioration as a result of carpal tunnel issues make it not only difficult to apply makeup. I had Joanne apply my makeup for my great-nephew’s recent wedding. I have to say Joanne’s cosmetic line and her talent worked miracles on me.  The most frequent comment from friends and relatives who saw me at the wedding and hadn’t seen me for several years said: “You’re 81 now?! Unbelievable! You haven’t aged in 20 years.” Now that’s “music” to any aging woman’s ears! Besides doing a great job on my makeup and teaching me how to do it myself at home she also gave me advice in how to pose for the before and after makeup photographs she took of me. Her photos came out great too. Thanks Joanne-Lorraine

 Joanne was so good with my daughter's make up for her prom. She was professional and listened to what my daughter wanted. I highly recommend Joanne to do make up for any occasion.  Kiki

 We hired Joanne to do make-up and hair for a music video shoot. She was available and willing to work with us on our schedule. She was a true professional, and we were not disappointed. We appreciated that she was on time and easy to work with. She was talented, attentive to detail and did a fantastic job. Thank you!  Fiona

 I recently had my makeup done by Joanne and I really loved it! I usually wear minimum makeup and go for a natural look. Joanne was very understanding and gave me exactly that look. She accentuated my eyes in a subtle way and I got a lot of compliments that day. The makeup stayed on the whole day. I would definitely recommend Joanne to any of my friends.  Rita

 I'm a singer/song stylist from Teaneck, New Jersey. Recently, I had the opportunity of having Joanne Kowalski apply my makeup and advise me about makeup technique. My experience was stress less. She had a very pleasant, professional attitude. I especially enjoyed using her makeup line, as I purchased the whole color scheme used during my session. Joanne also took some great photos for me which were so good I was able to use them for my website.  Thanks Joanne Dorothy L. E.

 Joanne did a great job on a make up application for my daughter who was getting her headshots taken for acting work. Appropriate amount of makeup was used since she was 15 and we wanted a natural look. Thanks Joanne - Kristina

I went to Joanne to get some makeup for some photos I was having done.  Joanne was efficient, professional and easy to work with.  The colors she chose for my photos were perfect for my complexion and the products she used felt lovely on my skin!  I can recommend her highly to anyone. Margaret 

 Thank you for doing such a professional job on my makeup for my professional photo shoot. It really helped me feel more confident getting my pictures taken. The trial session was a great idea. I appreciate you accommodating the early mornings too. Thanks you for taking such an interest in these photos. I am grateful for your very professional and detailed makeup work. It was nice of you to keep asking me how I liked the makeup as you were doing it to be sure I was happy. You are also a teacher too, I learned a few tricks to use on an everyday basis. Best wishes Ruth

 Joanne was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was very nice, friendly and professional. She listened to my needs and used the perfect colors for my skin tone. She used her own quality yet affordable makeup line New Creation Cosmetics. When she finished with my makeup, I felt so beautiful and everyone loved how I looked! The makeup was natural and gorgeous at the same time. She also took some great before and after makeup pictures that she emailed me afterwards. I highly recommend Joanne’s services! Thank you Joanne, you are a true artist!! Nahed

 I had done my make-up  from Joanne and she did a GREAT job!! While doing the make-up, she provided step by step instructions so that I can do it myself. I don't wear make-up on a daily basis but I was amazed to see the turnout and would definately recommend Joanne and her make-up line. The foundation that she used provided very good coverage without feeling heavy or un-natural. It's oil-free and gave my skin a flawless finish. The colors she used on my eyes really brought them out. I learned a great deal from Joanne about color selections and applying makeup for eyes, cheeks and lips. It was a lot of fun!!! Joanne also took very nice head shots which she emailed me. I highly recommend Joanne to all the ladies. She's professional, a great make-up artist and her prices are very reasonable Aeysha

 As a new business owner of a cultural enrichment studio, choosing seminars in the Arts can be quite challenging. Fortunately, I took a lucky chance and invited Joanne Kowalski, a make-up artist, to come in to my space and do a presentation on the Art of Cosmetic Application.  Joanne was not only highly talented at her trade, but displayed the ability to personalize the make-up application according to the personality of the model.  I would have her come again in a heartbeat.  My guests were overjoyed and the before and after head shots she sent were an unexpected perk as well. Thanks Joanne for a wonderful and enriching Ladies Night Out.  Erika D

 "This isn't my first time using Joanne's makeup services and all three of my experiences with her have been great! She really listens to you as you describe what makeup look you're going for. I got a lot of compliments on how natural yet gorgeous my makeup looked. Also, Joanne has very affordable prices so I would highly recommend.  Joanne also took some great before and after makeup pictures of me also that I loved and she sent them to me after.  Sophie

  My daughter and I have had our makeup done by Joanne Kowalski. She was able to bring out our features and hide our flaws. She is innovative and creative in her work. I am not one to put on too much makeup, and her makeup is very natural looking, and made me feel more beautiful and put together. My daughter, who is very much into makeup, and knows more than I, was also very impressed.  Joanne is a makeup artist who can teach you how to look better. Joanne has also cut my hair, and did a great style for my face. She is also takes great photos. It was great to see my "before" picture (no makeup) and then the "after" completed picture. I highly recommend anyone looking to improve their

look to have Joanne do their makeup and hair too. Isabel

I really enjoyed having my makeup done by Joanne. She was patient and kind. Her soothing voice and gentle touch practically put me to sleep. It was most relaxing. She did a wonderful job. Everyone thought I looked amazing. I learned some great makeup tips and have been using them as well as the makeup ever since. Thanx Joanne Natalina

 I had a makeover with Joanne and she also took some before and after makeup photos of me. First I want to say that I had a great time. Joanne is very nice to work with, very personable and encouraging. She explained what she was doing and even helped me see my current foundation color in contrast with what she had chosen. It was obvious that hers was the better choice. A picture is worth a thousand words! She did a wonderful job and I actually felt beautiful! I will recommend her to any of my friends for promos, weddings, and special occasions. She is very artistic and talented! Linda B

I don’t usually wear very much makeup but I went to Joanne’s makeup party with some of the ladies from our church. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and value of her makeup line  “New Creation Cosmetics”. She was able to show me how to smooth out my complexion and accentuate my eyes without looking ‘all made up’. Thanks, Joanne, for taking the time to work with me! You are a Blessing! Sincerely Vivian

 "I was very fortunate to have been invited to a makeup party held by Joanne!  We ladies had a great time chit-chatting about our beauty problems, and regimes and especially our beauty shortcomings!   I have been applying make up for years but learned some new techniques and ways to hide my little blemishes while enhancing my strong features.  With Joanne's guidance and her cosmetic line, New Creation Cosmetics, I learned how to accentuate my strongest feature, my eyes, by highlighting it with new color and shading combinations.  Additionally, Joanne was able to skillfully advise me regarding the best colors that bring out a natural appearance and to tone down a harsher made-up look ( which I call  the "Raggedy Ann" look!).   If you are looking for great quality  make-up, at affordable prices, look no further.  You will not be disappointed at her great makeup and advice Joanne has to offer.   I highly recommend her for all your beauty needs!"  Margery

 Joanne is a very talented makeup artist.  I do not feel comfortable using a lot of makeup, but she was able to achieve a very beautiful, subtle look  for me but yet it really brought our my features.  After the makeup she took some before and after makeup pictures for me which looked fantastic. When I posted a photo on my Facebook account, I immediately received many comments about how beautiful I looked in my new photo.  She also has a really nice makeup line and I have been very happy with her products. I would recommend her highly for any special occasion or just to get a great photo to post to your website, facebook, linked in or anywhere else you need a great photo.   Anna P

 I saw some before and after makeup photos that Joanne had taken of many women along with doing the makeup for the photos. Absolutely amazing work!!  I couldn't wait to get my makeup done by her and have some photos taken! First Joanne cut and styled my hair (she does hair too). I loved the way it looked!  Then she professionally applied my makeup. I couldn't believe how much better it made me look and feel! She is truly an artist!! Her expertise really made a difference! She knew exactly what colors to use on my skin, eyes and lips. She also gave many helpful makeup tips so I can do it myself! I usually don't wear lipstick because I don't think it looks good on me. But Joanne has lipsticks in such beautiful colors. It looked great and I felt confident wearing it. I highly recommend her for anyone who would like a makeover. Her makeup line "NEW CREATION COSMETICS" and brushes are of the highest quality. The makeup stays on really well, and lasts for months! I am very grateful and blessed by Joanne!!!  Cathy F

 Joanne is an amazing make-up artist.  The difference between my before and after shots was incredible. It was fun to see what a positive transformation Joanne's application of the make-up made to my facial features, my eyes became so vibrant. Thanks again Joanne for making me feel like a super model for the day!  Andrea T

  From our initial phone call through the day of my wedding, my experience working with Joanne was easy and wonderful. She’s a professional: organized, skillful, and friendly. And to top it off, Joanne is diligent about safety precautions in these covid times which is so appreciated. She listened to what I wanted – light and natural makeup – and that’s what I got! In addition, Joanne set me up with a hair stylist, too, and between them both, I felt like the most beautiful bride ever. Bonus...their makeup & hair services were affordable! Thank you, Joanne and Laurie, for starting my wedding day with beauty & style! ♥ Sammie

 Thank you so very much for taking the time out to do a makeover for me.  The color chose of foundation along with cheeks, eyes and lips made me look flawless. I'm enjoying your eye makeup remover and lip gloss.  The color you chosen matches both me & my personality! You have been truly a blessing!  Rosemarie
