  • "While planning my wedding, I knew that I wanted to support local business and artists. "

    “I was lucky enough to find Leanne through a bridal page on Facebook. I was even luckier that she lived in the same town as my venue. Throughout the consultation and planning process, Leanne was flexible and down to earth-it was a pleasure to work with her! I was able to give her a few ideas of what I wanted for my wedding make up and let her work her magic. Everything turned out beyond my expectations, and I felt gorgeous on my wedding day. I allowed my bridesmaids and mom to pick out their own make up. Leanne was able to create individual looks that left my girls in awe (one of my bridesmaids even wanted to leave her make-up on for her drive home the next morning because she was so in love with it). Our make up lasted throughout the day, even after shedding tears at the ceremony and dancing the night away. I would recommend Leanne to any bride wanting a bubbly, down-to-earth MUA! Her work is absolutely stellar!"

    "Leanne absolutely outdid herself!! From the very beginning she was honest, professional and so so so nice. I have very complex skin and have had bad experiences with makeup artists in the past. I expressed those feelings to her and she assured me I would have NOTHING to worry about. That was a complete understatement!! My makeup was FLAWLESS. To be honest, it didn't even feel like I had makeup on and it lasted all night- through the dancing, eating, picture taking, and even all the hugging and kissing that happens at weddings! Not only was the makeup amazing, so was she! Literally the sweetest soul I've ever met. I 12/10 recommend hiring her and trusting her to make you look beautiful. "

  • "Let me start off by saying, I got SO lucky booking LJ Artistry for my wedding. "

    “She had a cancellation that I could not have jumped on quicker. Right off the bat I knew this was the makeup artist for me, Leanne was quick to respond and just has the nicest personality! I could tell just through messenger that she loves what she does.

    I love how prepared she is, at the trial run she recorded everything she did so the day of she didn't forget anything. She listened to what I wanted, took the pictures I showed her into consideration, and added anything extra I wanted. I have been in plenty of weddings, but I have truly never seen EVERYONE in a bridal party so happy with their makeup. All my girls felt so beautiful and I never wanted to wash my face (don’t worry I did) .

    Besides her awesome personality, insane talent, her pricing is spot on. I felt like I got what I paid for and then 1000 times more! She also has great time management and is flexible with her timeline. The day of my wedding things got a little crazy towards the end of everyone getting ready but Leanne was able to accommodate and got everyone looking spot on.

    She truly cares about everyone she works on and just wants everyone to feel beautiful. If you are considering LJ Artistry for your event, stop considering and BOOK HER. I promise you won't have any regrets, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my special day."

  • "She was flexible, and had open availability for a make-up trial, and she was professional and quick to respond to all of my messages and questions."

    "I found Leanne on the Bride-to-Bride West MI Facebook page after I had a negative experience with my original makeup artist. Though I had to fire my original make-up artist and find a new one last minute, that stressful situation was probably one of the best things to happen to me during my entire wedding planning process!!! Leanne provided make-up for myself, my 8 bridesmaids, and my mother/mother-in-law. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied with her work, too.

    Leanne is incredibly experienced and talented, she respectfully listens to your requests and opinions, and she carried herself throughout the the day with a calm, collected, and stress-free manner. She is fun, easy to talk to, and makes you feel comfortable during the entire makeup process. I would highly recommend her – she’s worth every penny."

  • "Leanne was absolutely phenomenal to work with, she made everything so easy and so, so enjoyable. "

    "I found Leanne through the Bride-to-Bride Mid-Michigan Facebook group, and after looking over her website at all of the glowing reviews and beautiful photos, I knew I absolutely had to have her do my makeup for my big day... and it was the best choice I made throughout the entire planning process!! Her bubbly personality really added to our morning, she was very efficient and her makeup is absolutely stunning. I contacted her pretty last-minute for my makeup trial, as I was having engagement photos done, and she didn't even bat an eye and was able to work me in so that I had my makeup done for my photoshoot. For the wedding day, she did my makeup, makeup for my bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, flower girl, and my mother, and she really enhanced the beauty of everyone. I personally have never felt so beautiful as I did when Leanne did my makeup. I truly cannot say enough good things about Leanne's makeup artistry, and her as a person... and I want her to be my best friend!!"

  • "Leanne was my favorite vendor that I hired for our wedding!"

    “She worked on 7 girls for my wedding and took her time to make sure each girl had on makeup that they wanted! Even at our trial run she really took the time to get to know me, and even let my mother do a trial run as well. I’m still getting compliments on how my makeup looked that day and in my wedding pictures! If I could hire Leanne to do my makeup every day...I would!"

  • "I am so beyond grateful to have found Leanne for my wedding day!"

    “I'm super picky and had a very specific look in mine for my wedding day makeup, and Leanne absolutely nailed it. All of my girls couldn't stop complimenting how talented, kind, and accommodating she was all morning. Last minute my mom and little sister decided they wanted their makeup done as well, and she didn't even bat an eye - just had them hop right into her chair! If you're looking for someone you can depend on to be there and do a better job than you could even imagine, Leanne is your girl. Don't even hesitate - just book her."

  • "Leanne was amazing for my April backyard wedding."

    “I don’t have much experience with makeup, but she made me feel so comfortable and asked just the right questions so I could describe what I envisioned. She was creative, talented and so personable - at the end of the day, she was a part of the family! Loved Leanne and would recommend her to any bride. You won’t be disappointed!"

  • "Leanne did such an amazing job for my wedding!"

    “From being an all around joy to the FLAWLESS makeup. She really played a huge role in making my day so special! She is very professional but yet so personable. She listens to exactly what you want and makes your vision come to life. If you need a makeup artist I HIGHLY recommend booking with LJ Artistry for all your special events!"

  • "She is so fun and easy to talk to."

    "Leanne did such an amazing job on myself, my bridesmaids’, mother and mother in law’s make up for my wedding day! My wedding was in 85+ degree heat in a barn and my make up stayed on the entire day/night. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a MUA!"

  • "There are no words to describe the work of Leanne!!"

    “We unfortunately got married in a monsoon of a rainstorm outdoors. Leanne did make up for my 8 bridesmaids and I and it held up through all the weather! My makeup held through rain, sweat, tears and hours of dancing. Leanne made getting ready with my bridesmaids a blast, it felt like she was just one of us! My husband was in love how beautiful my make up was. I am not big on wearing makeup and I told Leanne I was wanting something more natural and she nailed it!!! If you are questioning having a makeup person or doing airbrush, please just go for it and book Leanne! By far one of the best vendors I spent money on for our wedding day. I have never felt so naturally beautiful. Thank you Leanne, you are amazing!

  • "She was not only extremely professional and efficient, her makeup is absolutely stunning!"

    "Leanne was absolutely phenomenal to work with!! From makeup for my boudoir shoot to the day of the wedding she made everything so easy. Her down to earth, bubbly personality really made the wedding morning that much more enjoyable. I contacted her after My original makeup artist couldn’t do my wedding due to moving it because of COVID and I couldn’t be more happy that I had to switch. For the wedding day, she did 6 bridesmaids, myself, and my mothers makeup. EVERYONE had nothing but great things to say about Leanne and not to mention the makeup looked FLAWLESS. I personally have never felt so beautiful as I did when Leanne did my makeup. The makeup stayed on throughout the day and even through a rainstorm and a great amount of sweat during dancing. I truly cannot say enough great things about Leanne's makeup artistry, and her as a person. I HIGHLY recommend 💕"

  • "100% will recommend Leanne to everyone for forever. "

    “The absolute best. Leanne was professional yet very fun and is extremely good at what she does. She made me and my bridesmaids feel beyond beautiful on the day of my wedding. I got married outside in 90° heat in the middle of a field and my makeup STAYED ON. I was looking good all night because of her. Even after quite a bit of drinking, sweating, crying and dancing I still had makeup to wash off at 1am. I will forever thank her for helping me look like my best self in such an important day. 10/10 recommend."

  • "I am so happy that I chose Leanne to do my makeup for my wedding. "

    I was unlike most brides and I did not want overly glam makeup. She worked with me every step of the way to ensure I received a look that was authentic to me. She also did incredible makeup on each of my bridesmaids/family members - I was blown away by how beautiful my group looked.

    Regarding who she is, Leanne has one of the best personalities out of all the vendors I worked with. I instantly felt comfortable with her during my trial run, and on the day of my wedding, she was energetic, compassionate, and made my morning so comfortable. I would recommend her to other brides in a heartbeat!

  • "I highly recommend Leanne as your wedding makeup artist!"

    “She was more than accommodating arriving super early in order to fit in all my girls. She did a fantastic job and everyone looked beautiful. Not only that but she was so kind and personable. Also so easy to communicate with prior to the big day! Basically Leanne is AMAZING!

  • "Where do I start?! Leanne is a true gem. She is incredibly talented and the sweetest soul!"

    “From the first time I contacted her via email I expressed the need to find someone who knew how to do makeup on hooded/almond eyes. She reassured me that she herself was Korean and had plenty of experience working with Asian clients. I am so glad I found Leanne and booked with her right away! The first time I met with her, she did my makeup for my engagement photos and from that first experience I knew my wedding day makeup was one less thing I had to worry about. Leanne nailed the engagement look I was going for - something soft, and more relaxed. She was so kind, friendly, and genuinely excited for me and my soon-to-be husband! I was so excited for her to do my wedding day makeup! The months leading up to a wedding can be super stressful, but Leanne was so professional and worked with me to strategically plan for how much time she would need on the wedding day! After getting to know her throughout the wedding planning, I was so excited to see her on my actual wedding day! She was on time, ready to go, and made me and my bridesmaids feel SO beautiful!! Our makeup lasted 12+ hours through lots of tears and a bright, sunny day. Leanne, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am beyond blessed to have found an amazing, talented person like yourself that made me feel so special throughout my entire wedding journey from beginning to end.”

  • "Leanne was amazing from the start."

    “She was so quick with communication and I love when people can share their personality through words - through email I knew I’d love working with her. The trial was great and she had so much patience dealing with my one “picky” thing - lip color. It was really important to her that I loved how I looked because she knew how special the big day was going to be. I could truly feel how much she cared about how I felt through the entire process. It made a world of a difference that she was so open, honest, AND easy to talk to.

    My wedding day couldn’t have gone better - EVERYONE loved their makeup by Leanne. She listened and delivered with exactly what they asked for. Our makeup lasted through the end of the night, even through some tears shed. I almost shed a tear when I had to wipe it off! I have had many ask who did my make-up and I am quick to share Leanne’s info!

    Leanne is beyond talented and the very best to work with. I have never felt so beautiful than when Leanne did my wedding makeup. My sister told me it’s the one day you get to feel like a princess and Leanne made that a reality. If you’re considering Leanne for your big day, stop that nonsense and just do it already!”

  • "I spent HOURS and DAYS searching for the perfect make-up artist for my wedding."

    “As someone that doesn’t own a piece of makeup other than blush, I was so nervous about looking too over or under done on my wedding day. From the moment I met Leanne I knew I was in the perfect hands.. She listened to my thoughts and concerns and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. EVERYONE in my bridal party complimented my choice in make-up artist and raved about how friendly, meticulous, and talented she was. I can only hope she does another wedding I am in so I can see her sweet self again. She was the best vendor of my whole wedding!”

    Madelynn Lula

  • "Leanne was hands down the sweetest, most genuine make up artist I’ve ever worked with."

    “She took her time to learn about me and how I envisioned my make up looking on my wedding day. We had a large bridal party and every lady felt their best after she was done. She’s timely but also takes into account what each person wants done. I would recommend Leanne over and over again.”

    Hillary Hose

  • “Leanne is hands down the absolute best at what she does."

    “Every face she put makeup on just GLOWED all day and night. Everyone from my little sister to my great grandma looked beautiful. Leanne does so much more than apply flawless makeup, she instills confidence...and that is something you can’t put a price on.”

    Mikaela Bogart

  • "I don’t know how I got lucky enough to find Leanne to provide makeup for my wedding day, but I am so glad I did!"

    “Working with her was an absolute highlight and a blessing on my wedding day. She is incredibly sweet, professional and so very talented — she not only knew how to provide the perfect makeup for all seven of us individually but she also knew exactly how to guide me when I was planning our morning of getting ready months before the wedding. She was always easy to contact, quick to respond and made the entire process too easy! She was so flexible when I had suggestions and even changed the look of my makeup the morning of my wedding due to some requests and concerns I had - and it was so perfect! I would without a doubt recommend Leanne to anyone - if you’re looking for a makeup artist, I can guarantee you won’t have any regrets with her!”

  • "Leanne was the makeup artist for my wedding this past weekend and I was so blown away by the results that I had to run right here and leave a review!"

    “I've been to and in weddings where I was terrified of how the makeup would look in natural light and photographs, and that was not even remotely a concern with Leanne! She was immensely patient with myself and my bridesmaids, and worked hard to make sure everyone's makeup was cohesive, but still suited to their unique skin tones. We all looked fantastic and had makeup that lasted the entire night (and then some! ). Not only was the makeup itself perfect, but Leanne herself is so sweet and fun to work with. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!”
