Evelyn is amazing!! She was sweet and professional and really did an amazing job on mine and my mother's make-up for the wedding!! :-)

Evelyn was professional from day one! I scheduled a trial with her a few months before my wedding, and when she was finished with my makeup I knew she was the perfect artist for my wedding day. I didn't bring in any pictures, I just told her what styles I liked, the colors of my wedding, etc and she did an amazing job, better than I could have pictured myself! I booked her on the spot for my wedding. She was always in constant communication and confirming times & location. The day of the wedding she arrived right on time, setup quickly and got right to work. She had 7 girls lined up and she worked great with the hair stylist. All of the girls loved their makeup, because she fit the makeup to their personality/liking and really listened to what they envisioned themselves to look like. She was so professional, but also personable! I’ve told all my girlfriends to use her! One of the best!

I got married on October 29-- the day of an unexpected blizzard in October. As you can imagine, I was nervous about how the day would unfold. I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Evelyn, who showed up exactly on time despite the treacherous driving conditions that day. She did phenomenal work. I never felt more beautiful in my life, my mom looked 10 years younger, and I could not keep my eyes off my sister-- all thanks to Evelyn! She is incredibly talented, she uses the best quality products, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I had makeup trials with many people-- and I feel lucky to have found Evelyn Abanto. I recommend her to all brides without hesitation!!!!!!!!!

Evelyn is worth every penny!!!!! She is so sweet, fun to chat with, and most of all- an amazing makeup artist!! She did such a beautiful job on my wedding makeup and everyone noticed! The compliments were non-stop. She also did makeup for my mother and sister the day of the wedding and they looked stunning as well. I recommend Evelyn to every bride out there. You won't make a mistake booking her!! She's the best!

It was a great pleasure working with Evelyn. She made me look absolutely stunning on my wedding day. She is a true professional and a sweet & humble person. She exceeded my expectations. My mother and I looked beautiful, and our makeup lasted all night. Thank you so much Evelyn for helping making my day so special & memorable. I look forward to meeting with you again for future events... XOXO

Evelyn did such a great job on my makeup for my wedding! It lasted all day and night!! She is such a sweetheart and a pleasure to be around!

Evelyn Abanto was the best Make-Up Artist for the Job for my Wedding. I did a Trial with her almost 6 months before my wedding and had to book her the day of!!! Prior to her booking a trail with her, I did a trial with another person. They were nothing compared to Evelyn. Evelyn not only did an outstanding job, but she made me feel so comfortable and was so flexible to what I needed to be done for my wedding day. If you are looking for a Make-Up Artist..please book a trial with Evelyn. She is a true professional at her job, a sweet person and reasonable. Thank you Evelyn for making Me and my 9 bridesmaids look PERFECT on My Wedding day 9/10/2011 :) xoxox <3

Evelyn saved my sanity and made me look better than I've ever looked. She is not only talented, but flexible, professional and responsive!! My original makeup artist backed out on me with 7 days until my wedding day. I was in a complete panic! I emailed 5 or 6 possibilities at about 11pm on a Sat night and Evelyn replied within the hour. She was very sympathetic and helped me to figure out what I wanted and what makeup concepts would work for me and my maid of honor. She gave me a very reasonable price (she certainly could have gauged me in my desperation) and waived the formal contract and deposit because of the time restraints. We traded pictures and I was doubtful of how it would work without a trial. I don't like very heavy makeup, but still wanted a red carpet look for my evening NYC wedding. That day, she kept close touch by phone and text (I was running late and she adjusted her travel to accommodate me). She did my makeup SPOT on!! I could not believe it was me in the mirror. She did my mother just as well. What I loved was that she explained what she was doing and why, it would work for my skin tone, or for the lighting or for photos. She made me look like a model, but more importantly, she gave me peace of mind from the time of her email reply until she finally left our hotel. Very calming, extremely meticulous and extremely good at what she does!

If you want to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day, this is the person to go to. My wedding was on Hurricane Irene (Yes! That very Sunday which had to be postponed to Monday). When I tell you that this woman is not only helpful and professional, but she is also so kind. She was so worried about me, and that showed me how humble she really is. The day of my wedding was nuts, but she accommodated anything and everything that was changed from location to even the style of how I wanted my makeup. She exceeded my expectations. My mother and I looked flawless, and our makeup stood on all day to all night. Lets put it this way, the very next day was my honeymoon, barely had any sleep, went to the airport, and was getting complimented on my makeup at 6 a.m. in the morning lol!!! Thank you so much Evelyn for making my day so special. I am so happy to have found you, and we will definitely be using you again for future events to come! :)

Dear Evelyn, It was such a pleasure to work with you!!! the look you gave me and my girls was beautiful and flawless. I want to thank you for your level of professionalism and speedy responses during the consultation period, you were always so helpful and kind which made it very easy to trust completely that the morning of my wedding would go smoothly. Thank you so much for eliminating such a large part of my wedding day worries and for helping to create beautiful lifelong memories. xoxox Barbara

The BEST of the BEST! Evelyn did an AMAZING job with my makeup as well as the entire bridal party. She made me feel like a princess. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends, especially future Brides. :) Love love her! She has an amazing talent and the makeup was flawless. It lasted the entire day!

I just got married in San Juan, Puerto Rico and finding a make artist that wouldn't take advantage of me was not easy. I had 3 others cancel on me after the trials and after telling me that they would do my wedding. I was in tears by the time I found Evelyn. She was so nice, it was like meeting up with a friend after years of not seeing her upon our first meeting. She is a woman of her word. She is amazing at what she does and has a heart of gold. I am blessed to have had her with us. Not only did she make me look like a bride from a magazine, she did an amazing job on my bridal party and mom. She is flexible, considerate, and punctual. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. I am posting my very first review because I know how hard it is to find trust worthy people to work with. You won't find a better person or professional than Evelyn! God bless you Evelyn. I am a fan for LIFE!!!!!

Evelyn does an amazing job for makeup. She is very flexible and worked with me to give me the perfect look that I loved. And I never felt like I was wearing too much makeup. It was perfect! I am indian and it is very hard to find someone who can match my face well and do a great job. But Evelyn has a lot of experience with indians. She does a great job!!

I met Evelyn when I first got engaged and I went to her for a makeup trial.. I booked her right on the spot! She is truly an amazing makeup artist! All of my trials leading up to my wedding day were amazing. On my wedding day, Evelyn was punctual and extremely professional. Most of my bridal party including my mom and mother in law hardly wear any make-up and once they were all made up they looked beautiful. I had the airbrush done and my skin looked flawless. Evelyn is so great to work with! She kept in touch with me throughout my engagement and guided me through some of the planning that I was clueless in. She is truly a humble and amazing person. I highly recommend Evelyn to anyone that is in search of a makeup artist! Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! XOXOXOXOX

Evelyn was awesome! I loved the way she did my makeup, she did exactly what I asked for and it came out beautiful! I wanted it kind of natural looking but still enough to really see and notice in pictures, and that's what she did, I highly recommend her, she was great!

After months of having bad makeup trials, God sent me Evelyn!! I'm a makeup addict and have very high standards for good makeup artists. Evelyn fit the bill! She has the MAC style of doing makeup and she also does airbrush and will do your makeup on site. She made my mom look years younger! Did an amazing job on my two bridesmaids and made me look like an Indian Princess!!! I had so many people coming up to me and commenting on how beautiful I looked and how gorgeous my makeup was! I loved the way I looked on my wedding day and that's all a bride really cares about!!..:) DONT HESITATE! GET EVELYN and DONT THINK TWICE! She will do an AMAZING job! She is a REAL MAKEUP ARTIST!!!!! Her creativity is beyond comprehension and another added bonus is that She is SO SWEET to work with!

Evelyn, I cant thnak you enough. Everyone looked so great. Myself all night long I got compliments on the beautiful make up. Your work is fabulous and I will defnitely be recommending you. Thank you so much. I will send you the pictures as soon as I get them back. Yours Truly, Dawn

Evelyn is the BEST!!! A friend of mine referred me to her when I was looking for a makeup artist for my wedding, and it was the best referral I got!! Saved me so much time and money by not having to go for multiple trials with multiple people. She is so sweet, so professional, and knows exactly what looks beautiful on each person that she works with. She took the time to talk through what I had envisioned for that day and we tried a few different things to see what would work. I wanted a natural look that day - just a better version of me, and she exceeded my expectations. It was the only thing I wasn't worried about that day because I knew I was in the right hands. I got so many compliments, and the makeup lasted all day! I'm still trying to think of other occasions that I could get my makeup done for, so I can work with Evelyn again!! A true professional artist - LOVE HER!!!!

I strongly recommend Evelyn for your wedding makeup. She is someone you can count on to be on time from your trial appointment to the day of your event. Very professional and friendly....she made me feel so comfortable from the start...she listened to what I wanted to look like on my wedding day and achieved my expectations...even the photographer gave me compliments on the great make-up. I had a crazy morning and was not even ready to have my make-up done but she was so understanding and her patience was a relief..I felt less stressed. She made me, my mom, and niece look awesome!
