Erin Smith Beauty Creations was a joy to work with for my wedding day glam. Erin's communication style is quick, efficient, and easy-going, which helped keep everything organized leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erin was a calming presence who helped soothe my nerves. She is highly adaptable and made sure I felt comfortable and like myself in the makeup look she created. I wanted a natural glam that accentuated my features without going overboard, and that's exactly what Erin delivered. The end result was beautiful and had all my guests complimenting how radiant I looked. Plus, Erin's rates are very reasonable for the area considering the high quality of her work and attentive service. I couldn't recommend Erin highly enough for any bride's wedding day beauty needs!

Makeup By Jacquee

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Darien, IL

Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

Jacquee did a remarkable job on my wedding hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and mother. Starting with the consultation/run-through, it was clear that Jacquee was a professional. Even though I didn’t have a solid sense of what I wanted, she listened to what I liked and executed to perfection. In fact, the morning of my wedding I felt very sick to my stomach and had only gotten two hours of sleep the night before. I had some VERY dark circles under my eyes and was worried that I had ruined my chances of looking beautiful on my wedding day. Jacquee was unfazed and was able to make me look just as fantastic as I hoped. She gave all of us little touch-up kits which were super handy throughout the day and my hair and makeup looked great all night. I find myself trying to come up with reasons to get my makeup done by Jacquee again just so I can feel that gorgeous! I highly recommend Jacquee for your hair and makeup needs!

I also appreciated the extra steps to make sure that every single person was taken care of and not just the bride! i.elle made sure they understood what my bridesmaids/mothers expected ahead of time and this made for a very smooth process for everyone! I had in total 11 people that used their services and every single person was happy with their result. The i.elle crew was fun, easy to work with, and brought the best vibes to our morning.

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy!

Noemi and Tiffany did such an incredible job!! They are both so sweet and so talented and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My makeup was perfect and lasted my whole 5am to midnight day; I have no idea how but I guess Noemi is magic! Same thing with my hair! Not a strand fell out of place all night and even though the day off I wanted to change my hair style from how we trialed and I stink at explaining what I like; Tiffany read my mind and made my hair truly amazing. Not only am I so please with how my makeup and hair turned out; my bridesmaids, which are all so different in their styles, ALL loved their look and could not stop raving about how they all looked. Lastly, my mom never does her hair or makeup and it was a fight to convince her to even on my wedding day and somehow Noemi and Tiffany did the perfect amount that made her feel comfortable and also so beautiful; she could not believe how she looked and she even loved how she turned out in photos, which is hard to do! I seriously cannot thank these 2 women enough for the hard work so early in the morning that made me and everyone feel so beautiful!
