  • Amazing Work! Josiah is very sweet and professional. He is keen to details when it comes to his artistic skills. Josiah listened to what I like, and I was very pleased. His love and passion definitely show in his work.

  • Beautiful Bridal Makeup! Josiah was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly kind and communicative. He made sure to capture everything I wanted for my wedding day and did a phenomenal job on our trial. On the day of the wedding, he was prompt and gave himself plenty of time to complete my look. He had full focus on me the whole time and made sure to check in with me along the way. When he was finished, I was stunned! I felt absolutely gorgeous and I was so happy with his work. He even brought a touch-up kit with him in case he needed to do some touch-ups throughout the night, but we never ended up having to do that! His makeup lasted all night and looked fantastic in all the photos. I highly recommend Josiah for all your beauty needs!

  • When the makeup artist that my daughter had scheduled had an emergency, Josiah stepped in and we could not have been more pleased. Where to begin? His kind demeanor and attention to our requests as if he’d always known us made for the most comfortable and fun pre wedding event! I was so happy to look like my best self with a touch of fancy. My daughter who loves experimenting with makeup knew just the look she was after and Josiah executed exactly what she wanted for her special day. He’s unassuming yet confident and lets his client be the star. I’d give him ten stars if I could!

  • Josiah is seriously one of the best MUA’s! He’s so good at what he does and makes the whole experience fun!

  • Josiah was amazing! I had a vague idea of how I wanted my makeup done for my wedding day, and he took the ideas I liked and make everything look perfect for my complexion and face shape. I LOVED my pictures, and usually I hate pictures of myself. Even my jawline popped in pictures and I have a very round-ish face. He was also a dream to work with! Clear communication and clear expectations. All of my girls loved having their makeup done by him as well -- even my grandma had no complaints (she is hard to please! haha). I would recommend Josiah in a heartbeat. Pricing was fair, and great value for all that he does. He even sent me and all of my girls with a little touch up kit that had setting powder, lip color, and a beauty blender with our perfect shade on it. I am so so so glad I chose him for makeup!
