Heather is amazingly talented. I needed to get some headshots done and she did my makeup impeccably. I didn’t have a specific look that I was going for, and she assessed the situation and chose the perfect palette and tone. She also styled my hair and that also came out fantastic. I highly recommend Heather and look forward to working with her again!

Let's just say for starters, Heather is a complete delight to work with, no matter what you're looking for. One day, I looked in the mirror and realized my face had aged about 30 years overnight! Either I was too busy to notice in all this time, or even if I peeked in the mirror, I was focussed on other things. And it became very obvious that the makeup techniques I used way back then no longer worked! So I just gave up on makeup, and the past two years made it very easy to do. Throw on a mask and sunglasses, and you're ready to roll! All good until you have an event to attend, which thankfully

I had to find a new makeup artist five days before my wedding and Heather was a lifesaver. Of course, I was freaking out, but Heather was prompt, professional, and kind, which immediately put me at ease. Her communication was excellent and she was good company while getting me ready. Oh, and I got tons of compliments on my makeup! I was nervous not having time for a trial but it turned out even better than I hoped for. And it didn’t budge all day! Thank you Heather!!!

Heather did my makeup for me, my mom, my mother in law and 4 bridesmaids on my wedding day. She did a fabulous job for everyone. Everyone had a consistent look but she made sure the makeup suited each persons skin tone. Heather is so talented and also is so considerate of her clients. She takes the time to understand what you prefer / don’t prefer to make sure you are happy with the overall look. I highly recommend her makeup services for whatever the need is!

Heather is absolutely amazing!!! As owner of Photography and Video By Zarek, I regularly need a makeup artist to make sure my clients (Brides, Headshots and more) look and feel amazing in front of the camera as well as in front of their family and friends if it is a wedding. Heather has always been my go-to person. She makes everyone feel relaxed during the process, and they are so overjoyed with the results. Over and over I have heard them say, "Heather, can I have you do my hair and makeup everyday". If you want to look and feel great on your special day, call Heather of Makeup the Bride, she

Some friends and I had Heather come show us tips and tricks for makeup and skincare. This was one of the most fun afternoons I’ve had in a long time. We laughed, we learned, and Heather fit right in! I would highly recommend this as a fun friends activity! Heather had also done my makeup in the past for a photo shoot, and she did an amazing job! Some of my favorite pictures of myself are from that photo shoot. I highly recommend using Heather for any and all makeup needs!

Just took the Ageless Beauty class with Heather and I would HIGHLY recommend it!! She’s such a good teacher and is so much fun to learn from! I feel so confident about my skin routine and LOVE the makeup look we created!! I took the Makeup Bag Makeover class first, as my makeup needed a serious overhaul! She recommended the BEST products!! The foundation was a perfect match and so smooth to apply. The eye shadow palette was made for me and on sale! And the lipstick is perfect, the shade and texture go so well with my skin and hair, love it!! So exited to replicate my makeup routine again and

I booked a virtual makeup lesson for my daughter as she is having her Bat-Mitzvah last week and wanted her to learn a couple of basic makeup skills for it since it will be a virtual experience. We are also took professional photos the day before so i thought this would be a great experience for Ellie! She is 13 and ready to learn. Her lesson was first and foremost fun which makeup should be always. Ellie learned a couple of tips and tricks that would bring her beautiful blue eyes out and to help with her beautiful complexion. It was also extremely easy to book the class and Heather's follow

Where should I begin?! Heather is a makeup WIZARD!!! In my dreams, I would have my makeup done by her EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE. I met Heather last year when I was looking for a makeup artist for my wedding. Heather had done my friend's makeup for her 40th birthday and my friend looked absolutely fabulous! So, I scheduled a makeup trial with Heather and I am not kidding when I say I have never felt more BEAUTIFUL in my life. I discussed the look I was going for with Heather and showed her a couple pictures and she worked her magic on my face! I had done two makeup trials prior to meeting

Heather is beyond talented and a pleasure to work with. She did my makeup for my wedding and knocked it out of the park. Everyone looked stunning. She knows just how to enhance your own look without making you look overdone. She is professional, reliable and puts her heart and soul into her work. I am so grateful to have worked with her.

Heather is the absolute BEST!!! She had done many of my friends wedding make up, so I booked her right away! Heather came to my house to do the makeup trial and it was PERFECT! I didn't have any changes for her to make :) She has a way of enhancing your features that look beautiful in person as well as in photos. I felt glamorous, but I still looked like me! Heather was extremely responsive via phone calls, texts and emails. All of my friends and family loved her and her work. She is so fun to work with and made getting ready for my big day a breeze! Thank you Heather for everything

People don't give makeup artists enough credit as it is, but I was truly in crisis when I woke up two days before my wedding with a blemish on my face the size of the asteroid from Armageddon. I emailed Heather Coopersmith and let her know that our makeup plan was out the window and that she would be pretty much winging it, also that the sky was falling. Heather with her kindness, humor and grace, held me up, made me beautiful and gave me the confidence to have to the best day of my life. Can't thank you enough

Heather is beyond AMAZING!! She is extremely knowledgable and an expert about her job and products. She's a great listener about what kind of look you want to portray and she will execute beyond your expectations. I highly recommend using Heather, but try to book as quick as you can, because she is in high demand.

Heather is a true artist. She has done my make-up for many occasions and always knocked it out of the park. Her skill is unmatched and her kit is so well stocked that she can create any look that is desired. Heather's professionalism and personal touches make her my go to artist. She not only makes you look beautiful she makes you feel beautiful.

Heather did my wedding makeup, and that of our bridal party, and we couldn't have been more pleased. She was incredible -- super organized, professional, fun, adaptable and talented. Plus, she made everyone look gorgeous! Heather also listened and made the changes I wanted from the trial to the wedding day. The best thing I did was have her stay all day for touch ups during the hot, outdoor photo session and after the ceremony. If you want flawless makeup from a real pro, look no further and book Makeup the Bride immediately.
