 Amber said…
Andrea did my make up for my wedding and I never felt more beautiful in my entire life. She sprinkled my daughters with light makeup and they felt like princesses. Andrea was fun and professional. Thank you Andrea for making my day amazing, magical and of course beautiful! You are the best, my dear friend

Andrea was amazing to work with! From meeting her the first time for my trial/engagement photo pictures to our wedding day she was super friendly and kind. Leading up to our wedding day she was very quick with her responses to any questions I may have had and even took the time to make a schedule for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, both moms, and I so the morning of the wedding wouldn’t be a mess.From the time between my engagement photos and til now she still stays in touch via Facebook, which I feel is very nice as she gives a personable approach, instead of just being another client. She was so calming on the day of and was very easy to have a conversation with while she did my makeup. As someone who regularly doesn’t wear too much make up I was very nervous that wedding makeup would be over the top, but Andrea was great! She masters the natural look and made me and my bridesmaids look amazing the day of! I cant recommend her enough, she would be fabulous to have as your makeup artist for your wedding!!

Kayla said…
Andrea was amazing! She provided me with a detailed time line of the day and was very responsive with any questions or concerns I had! I would for sure recommend her to any bride! She is definitely an artist, showed her a picture of very natural makeup (which is her speciality) and I and all my bridesmaids were very pleased with there outcome!

I have known Andrea for several years now and when I needed to decide who was going to help create my dream look for my wedding – I knew exactly who I wanted to book! I could not have been more impressed! Andrea was so attentive to detail and created a look by fusing several ideas I had for my wedding day. She not only made me feel special but my bridesmaids (4 total) and my Mom. Everyone looked stunning. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone who wanted to look their best for any occasion! I am trying to figure out what event I have coming up soon that I can create a look with Andrea again. Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

Dani said…
Andrea was so sweet, so flexible, and a perfectionist! She was extremely careful to make sure my bridal look was exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Andrea was very responsive and had flexible scheduling. I would definitely recommend her!

 Kellsey said…
 Andrea was the perfect addition to those that I had hired to make my wedding day magic. Through the first correspondence to the actual day, she was professional, sincere, and accommodating. It was a pleasure getting to know her and seeing what she is capable of; she truly is an artist! She took the vision that I had and created it both in the trial run, and the actual wedding day. She heard my requests regarding the look and tweaked it to make it perfection. I can’t say enough good things about Andrea and anyone would be lucky to have her as their makeup artist for any occasion!

 Jessica said…
I don’t wear make up on a routine basis. Andrea took her time, gave me options to determine my comfort level, and did a fabulous job of making me look beautiful without feeling uncomfortable. I could not have asked for a better experience

Sarah said…  
A big Thank You to Andrea of Shades of Blush Studio for providing Excellent service for my sister’s wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional and very understanding artist. She truly takes the time to connect and explain every aspect of what she’s doing and what products are used. I will definitely be using her again.

 
 Vanessa said…
Andrea did my makeup for my August 13, 2016 wedding and she was amazing! Everything from the makeup trial, her flexibility, level of responsiveness and overall talent made for a great experience. Not to mention she is just so nice :). It was literally the hottest day of the year that we got married (outdoor ceremony and pictures) and my makeup lasted the whole day and night. I didn’t have to touch up at all. She knew exactly the right look for me and it couldn’t have looked any better. I had so many compliments on how well done my makeup was, as well as my bridal party makeup. Everyone said it was the best makeup job they’ve seen at a wedding. Andrea brought her assistant Kara who helped out and she was awesome too! Both did a great job and I highly recommend Shades of Blush to anyone looking for a makeup artist! Cannot say enough great things!

Jackie said.. 
Andrea was so great to work with and she did an amazing job! I got the airbrush makeup and absolutely loved it! It looked so natural and lasted all day and night! It felt like I wasn’t even wearing any makeup. And the false lashes were the perfect finishing touch. Thank you Andrea for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

 
Tiffany said…  
We were very lucky to have Andrea doing our look for my sisters wedding. She absolutely crushed it with our make up! She was very professional and knew exactly what she was doing! I couldn’t have been more in love with my make up, the best make up artist I’ve ever had! I highly recommend her for your special day!

 Katherine said…
Where do I even begin!? Andrea with Shades of Blush was AWESOME! When I contacted Andrea nearly a year before my wedding she quickly set up an agreement and didn’t even cringe at the idea of doing my make up along with my EIGHT bridesmaids. She was personable, flexible, and professional! Her work is exceptional and she achieved exactly what I asked of her.


 Andrea said…
I am a total DIY type of person, but there is one thing I could not risk DIY-ing… make-up. I can probably count the amount of times I’ve worn make-up in my life on both hands. I went with Andrea because I had several recommendations from friends and heard that she was awesome at giving brides a really “natural” look. Andrea TOTALLY delivered. She showed up to the venue EARLY to make sure she was prepared (a huge plus in my book!), she had a ton of options and products and was a true artist. Even my photographer thanked Andrea for saving her a lot of editing time since she made my skin look flawless! I felt really natural and beautiful! It poured down rain all day and I was outside for quite some time getting pictures and my make-up held up perfectly! It even survived the cake smash (which was not pretty!!) Highly recommend. Worth every penny – you won’t regret it!!

Heather said…
Andrea is the best!! I first found her through the Wedding Wire website. I had contacted several make-up artists that day and not only was she the quickest one to respond to my inquiry but she also offers fair prices for her services. Working with Andrea was a breeze which was great because so many parts of wedding planning were stressful. She is organized, efficient, thorough, and super talented. The day of my wedding she showed up with a plan. She set up all her supplies and was ready to go on time. We hired her for make-up for 9 girls. In order to get everyone done in the allotted time she brought along a colleague named Kara. They had a schedule, stuck to it, and were able to finish everyone 🙂 I can’t thank them enough! Our make-up looked absolutely AMAZING <3 They explained what they were doing throughout the process and made sure to customize each girls look to match their personal vision. The make-up they applied stayed on all day and looked great even in the final pictures of the night. If you’re looking for a make-up artist for any event I HIGHLY recommend Shades of Blush Studio!

Laura said…
Andrea was amazing!! She went above and beyond! She had us all feeling our best! I would highly recommend using her, you won’t be disappointed!

 Jen said…
Really took the time to listen and help me figure out the perfect makeup for my big day! Very organized and prompt on time!

 Jenni said…
Andrea is so talented in the work she does. She is not only very professional but also very sweet. She did my makeup exactly how I wanted. The makeup lasted all day and felt very natural. I would recommend Andrea and her services to all my friends and family.

Haley said…
Andrea did my makeup for my wedding and OMG it was beautiful!! I was absolutely in love with the makeup look she created for me during the trial and it was even better on my actual wedding day. She was willing to travel over an hour to my wedding venue and was even able to squeeze in an extra bridesmaid’s makeup who changed their mind the day of. I have nothing but lovely things to say about Shades of Blush. She is amazing at what she does and is also so sweet and fun to work with! Not only did I feel absolutely beautiful, but I had so many compliments from my wedding guests saying that my makeup was flawless. If you are thinking of booking Shades of Blush for your makeup for wedding or anything at all-my advice would be to do it! 😀 😀 😀

 Marie said…
Andrea from Shades of Blush Studio is very professional. She arrived prior to the scheduled time and quickly set up her work space. She held to her schedule for the morning but gave each girl quality time in making them beautiful. Her ability to listen to the normal make-up routine of her client and merge it with her own expert opinion of what colors would look best to enhance the client’s features and outfit are amazing! When you are done your experience with Andrea, you are left feeling like a whole new person. Your face feels light and refreshed, not “caked” with make-up. She has an amazing gift in making you feel yourself but in the very BEST form. I would recommend this business to anyone and I am looking forward to the next event that I can have her do my make-up for!

 Shannon said…
The makeup was so great, and Andrea was so professional, kind, and helpful. I don’t know a ton about makeup so I told her to do whatever she thought would look the best, and I’m really glad I trusted her. My makeup looked great (of course just the right amount of great, didn’t want to outshine the bride!) and it stayed on the whole night; which I didn’t think was possible! Recommended 110%.

SHARI said…
I would recommend Andrea to anyone. I don’t wear alot of makeup generally, but wanted to look like a princess for a day. She is amazing! Normally, I hate having my picture taken, but thanks to her talent, for the first time ever I was not camera shy!!

 Private User said…
Andrea did the make-up for my daughter’s wedding. She was a joy to work with – professional, on-time, and had a sunny disposition. My daughter was absolutely glowing when she finished with her. Two thumbs up!

 Alexis said… 
Amazing! Exactly what I wanted and lasted all the way to my honeymoon!!

Jennifer said…    
Andrea did the makeup for my sister’s wedding. When she showed up she set up very quickly and was ready to get started in no time. She came in with a plan and helped keep us all on schedule. I loved that before she started she asked what kind of colors and makeup I use on a daily basis. This made it so I felt comfortable in the makeup and still looked like myself. She listened to my suggestions for colors I liked and explained each step along the way. When I was done I was so excited to see what I looked like. I loved the way she managed to cover up all my imperfections without making me look too overdone. The makeup looked great in photos and lasted the entire night! I was very surprised by this because usually my makeup will start to look very dry and streaky by about midday. I wish I could hire Andrea to do my makeup every morning because the next day I came to the realization that no matter how much time I spent doing my makeup I could never look as perfect as I did the night before. Thank you Andrea, you were great and I would recommend you to anyone!                                             

Daniella said…  
Without hesitation, I would confidently and highly recommend Andrea. It is very rare to find an artist who is truly an ARTist. Make-up can be learned, skills can be developed, but certain talent you are just born with. Andrea has that special talent. You already have an idea of what you want, and when she’s finished and you look at yourself in the mirror, it’s 10 times better than what you had envisioned, I swear. Her attention to detail is insane, she really takes her time. The right coverage, eyes, lashes, colors, lips, all the above – you will love it. She really studies her craft to the point that all her products are fresh, environmentally friendly, and she still practices constantly by herself to gain perfection for others. She is super sweet, really takes her time to make sure she gives you her best work. You will get tons of compliments about how beautiful you are! Those compliments will go on because it will leave people a lasting impression.

I asked Andrea to do my prom make up and my make was gorgeous and probably the best make up there! She arrived early which worked perfectly and took around 10-15 minutes to set up and about 45 minutes to do my make up. It was a lot of fun while she was doing my make up! She was so nice and fun. After she was done I was so in love with the way I looked. She did everything perfectly and did everything I liked and match everything with my eyes and skin tone. Also through the night of dancing around going in and out, running into people ect. by the time I got home my make up still looked fresh and was like it had just been done after hours and hours of being on my face. I will definitely be going back to her for everything when I need make up done and definitely recommend for anyone to ask her, I know I’ll be recommending her to everyone!

 Mollie said… 
I first met Andrea when I was a bridesmaid in a good friend’s wedding last October and she was the make-up artist for the bridal party. She was local, and met us at the salon where we were having our hair done. She had such a sweet personality, worked hard to see that each of us had plenty of time to have our hair and make-up completed in the timeframe we needed, and of course, did an exceptional job! The girls and I couldn’t stop talking about how fabulous we felt all day! And everyone commented how great and NATURAL our make-up looked! So, naturally, I booked Andrea for my make-up on my big day this April. Again, Andrea exceeded my expectations with her responsiveness to emails/calls/texts, her flexibility with scheduling all the bridesmaids in our timeframe, promptly meeting at our hair salon that day and having everything set up ready to go, and of course her easy-going personality and amazing talent on myself and my bridal party. My mom and one of my bridesmaids had never had their make-up done before and they were just so excited with the outcome and how kind Andrea was to work with. I was more than pleased with my make-up, it felt so light, and was so natural, but I felt so beautiful all day! If your looking for a professional, genuine, and quality make-up artist, Andrea is definitely your girl!

Abbie said…
Andrea is amazing! I was nervous at first to have my makeup done for my wedding day because I didn’t want it to be too much. But Andrea gave me an enhanced natural look. Including fake eyelashes (my favorite part!!) I had so many compliments, and felt so beautiful on my wedding day! Highly recommend to anyone!

 Rachel said…Andrea at Shades of Blush is the best out there. She truly rates 5 stars on all of the categories. Quality of service – Andrea took her time and you could tell truly put so much effort into every aspect of the process. She has the top brand products in the makeup industry – and LOTS of them – and had them all organized on the table – she also provided something I’ve NEVER had an opportunity to have done – airbrush makeup! The best makeup job I’d ever seen. And it even lasted the following day when I was too tired after the wedding to take my makeup off 😛 Responsiveness – She’s very easy to get a hold of. She responds to you right away and she offered many suggestions – which I used – after telling her some ideas that I had for my wedding day look. Professionalism – Extremely professional. I appreciated that she took you through every step of the makeup process. I’ve had my makeup done for other weddings where the girls just do the makeup – Andrea explained every step. Value – Andrea was VERY well priced, especially considering the fact that she drove over an hour to get to where I was. Her products are all top-notch and my makeup lasted two days – not just one. She also gave me touch-up lipstick to last me through the night. Flexibility – She’s extremely flexible! She drove an hour to come to where I was after she had another bride to do that day – and then she stayed and helped me fasten my birdcage veil, which, no doubt, wouldn’t have looked that perfect had I done it myself. She’s not only one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet – she’ll make you look absolutely stunning, too. She is so incredibly passionate about what she does. I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars!

Lacey said…
I absolutely loved getting my makeup by Andrea! She’s so talented and she made the vision that I had in my head come to life! I highly recommend her beauty services, you will not regret it! (Client on the right – salmon dress).


Ronni said…
Andrea was so professional and sweet when she did my makeup for a friends wedding!! She did such a great job and my makeup has never looked so good! I especially loved the fake eyelashes!! I will definitely be referring people to her that I know that need a makeup artist!! All around great experience with Andrea and I highly recommend her!!


Hanna said…Highly recommend her work! She does an AMAZING job! Definitely the one to go to for hair and makeup, couldn’t be happier with the results


Donna said…
Andrea is incredible! She is so sweet and makes every experience enjoyable. Both her make-up and tanning services are high quality and reasonably priced! I would recommend to anyone!


Gabrielle said…                                                                                                                  
Andrea is so great to work with! I’ve worked with her on a couple weddings now and she does an amazing job every time! She really makes every girl feel special and unique and truly brings out the beauty from within! The make-up seriously lasts all day long – even through many hours of dancing! Andrea is very accommodating and I look forward to working with her again some day!

 Lisa said…                                                                                                                                     
I searched and searched for the perfect MUA for my wedding, and found many talented individuals out there, but I just could not bring myself to contract with any of them. Their portfolios were just lacking something that I was looking for, but I could not put my finger on it. Finally, a month before my wedding, a friend referred me to Andrea at Shades of Blush. I was super impressed upon looking at her portfolio…super glam but still natural-looking makeup. My mom and I both set up trials with her asap, and booked her right away after seeing our beautiful transformations. Not only is Andrea an amazing makeup artist, she is very sweet, very hard-working and very punctual. She is the real deal…feel confident in booking Andrea for your wedding or event. Andrea was tasked with my bridal makeup, mother of bride, mother of groom and 4 bridesmaids. Everyone of us looked beyond gorgeous and we stayed on our timeline!

 Anthony said… 
As a professional photographer, I have had the pleasure of working with a number of make up artist and Andrea is top class. I got my booking for pageant head shots only a few days before the scheduled session and Andrea was flexible with her schedule to squeeze my client and I in. She was very easy to work with and was a lot of fun. She made my client feel like Queen, which gave her so much confidence. This confidence is what helped contribute to a very successful shoot with amazing results. My client absolutely loves her images and the work of Andrea was a big part of that. Thank you Andrea for your amazing work.

 Katrina said… 

 Andrea did makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom and me for my wedding. She did an awesome job and she’s also great   with hair. She did great at the trial and I knew that I would be happy with the results. The makeup stood up well (got married on a super hot day outside) but I didn’t feel like I was caked with makeup either, nice and light. Andrea was also able to fit my mom in who at the last minute decided she wanted her makeup done too. Andrea was very easy to get along with and she has great taste and is skilled at what she does.


Cami said… 
Andrea did a fantastic job on my makeup for my brother’s wedding. I felt like I looked like the best version of myself! My makeup was very natural looking and stayed in place all day (through a hot, sunny ceremony outside to after wedding festivities!). I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a very professional and high quality makeup service.


Morgan said…
An experience of a lifetime, Andrea (make-up) and Missy (hair) did an amazing job on me,
my three friends, and grandmother for my 16th birthday! We all felt so beautiful afterwards we couldn’t stop looking at ourselves in the mirror and taking pictures. They did everything we wanted and did better than we could of ever imagine for our hair and make-up. Andrea is the sweetest and very easy to work with, the best make up artist and truly loves what she does! I have recommended Shades of Blush Studio to my friends for the upcoming prom season and I recommend others to do the same. You will have the best experience!

Lindsey said…
As a person who only wears mascara on a daily basis, I was skeptical about getting my makeup done because I didn’t know if it would look good on me. But as soon as I walked in, I felt Andrea’s strong and bubbly personality make me feel comfortable.
After getting my hair done by Missy, (which was also great) I sat down in Andrea’s chair. When she finished, I looked into the mirror and was shocked at how much I loved the makeup she had done. I loved every single aspect of the makeup she had done on me and wish that I could do my makeup like that everyday. Andrea made it an entertaining experience since you could joke around with her while she was doing your makeup. Andrea can make anyone feel beautiful by just doing what she loves. Her passion shines through in her work by the quality of her work and the way she makes everyone feel after she is done. i highly recommend Shades of Blush to anyone who needs prom or wedding makeup! Thank you so much Andrea!

 Kathy said… 

Andrea was so professional and friendly. I don’t wear much make-up, so my biggest fear on my wedding day with getting my make-up professionally done was I was going to not look like myself and look like a clown. Andrea came to my home and did a trial run and was very helpful and knowledgeable. I absolutely loved my make-up the day of my wedding, and all of my bridesmaids, who had theirs done as well, loved their looks too!


Hannah said…
Andrea did my makeup for a friend’s wedding and she was suburb! Not only is she incredibly skilled, she is professional, timely, and has such a sweet spirit. Five stars for sure!


Ashley said…
Andrea is a wonderful person to work with! Her team is amazing, my hair looked beautiful and it lasted the entire day!! 100% recommended! (hair by Beth Mitchell).


Private User said… 

Andrea is not only a super kind and caring individual, she is extremely talented! I am so thankful that she was apart of my day, she made me feel so special! She was prompt and professional and took such great care of me. I don’t regularly wear too much makeup, but I wanted to be pampered for my big day and I’m so glad I did! My makeup felt light and natural and stayed fresh-looking all day! I highly recommend Shades of Blush Studio for their care, professionalism and artistic quality.


Nicole said… 

Andrea, did my make up for my wedding, and did an absolutely amazing job. I wanted to have dramatic eyelashes for the wedding to make my eyes pop!! And she nailed it! Everyone loved my makeup and I’ll be sure to recommend her to anyone who needs their makeup done whether it’s for a wedding, prom or any special event!!


Jessica said…  Andrea did an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding. She also did my bridesmaids and they looked absolutely beautiful. She is so sweet and very accommodating as she did whatever I asked for or needed. I can’t wait to get my pictures back and share them with her. I would recommend her without hesitation. (Trying to find an excuse to get my makeup done again.) Thanks for everything Andrea, you’re an amazing makeup artist!!


 Megan said…

Andrea was kind enough to do my makeup for my wedding on 7/11/15, and my experience with her couldn’t have been better. She very knowledgeable, accommodating, and was able to create the natural look that I wanted. I was impressed with her attention to detail- she even left a swab of touch-up lipstick so that everything still looked great later in the evening! On top of her artistry, Andrea was very personable and my bridesmaids and I enjoyed chatting with her during our prep time. Andrea- thanks for helping make the day special. I got a lot of compliments and will definitely recommend you                                         to my friends who are planning weddings!

Andrea was absolutely fantastic to work with and made every girl in the bridal party look gorgeous not to mention the bride. My friend Emily was the bride and I can’t thank Andrea enough for how gorgeous she made her look and feel and how at ease she made her feel through the whole process. The trial make up was stunning and the wedding day make up was flawless. I would recommend Andrea as well as Emily to she works with for hair to anyone on their wedding day.

Andrea did my makeup and hair for my acting headshots. I had never gotten my makeup done professionally before and was not sure what to expect. Andrea was so sweet and professional and so great to work with. I wanted a more natural and subtle look and she did just that. I was so happy with the way my photos turned out and I couldn’t have looked so good without her.

Andrea was so nice and helpful at the Miss Lancaster County Scholarship Pageant. She took her time to make sure I was pageant-ready and gave me the best false lashes ever! I enjoyed talking to her while she was doing my hair– she made me feel so relaxed before the pageant. Her set-up was very professional and she made all of the contestants look beautiful. I hope she can do my hair and makeup again in the future!
