“While planning my wedding, I knew I wanted to get my makeup professionally done, but I was very worried about it being over done and looking clownish.  I wanted to look like myself, but the BEST version of myself. I got Shannon’s name from a family friend and had the best experience! Shannon is so sweet, so talented, and wants every bride to feel beautiful on their big day! She uses timeless + natural techniques that last through the whole day (even sweaty dancing) and photographs beautifully.  We did a makeup trial a couple weeks prior which made the morning-of so easy and stress-free. Her gentle demeanor and charming personality are so easy to work with and her abilities are so versatile depending on skin tone, hair color, style, personal aesthetic, etc. Will definitely be hiring her again for our next big occasion! :)”

“Working with Shannon from Belle Femme Artists made my wedding day so much less stressful. She came directly to my home to do a makeup trial a few weeks before the wedding and listened carefully to everything I was looking for in my wedding makeup. She and her co-worker showed up early to my venue on the day of the wedding and stayed right on schedule throughout the morning getting myself, my bridesmaids and my mother/MIL ready for photos. The makeup was perfect and lasted the entire day and throughout the evening at our reception. I would highly recommend using Shannon for weddings or any other events.”

“Shannon is so kind, fun, and flexible to work with! As someone who doesn't typically wear a lot of make up or know a lot about make up, Shannon was pleasantly informative, willing to try different things, and willing to help me create a vision when I didn't have one (but knew I needed one)! She did an amazing job with my large bridal party and other family members to help us all look amazing for the big day!”

-Mckenzie Olson, Milwaukee

“Belle Femme Artists was recommended to me by my sister. As soon as I experienced their amazing work and professionalism on my sisters wedding day, I knew I would be booking them for mine as well. We had the pleasure of working with Jackie on my wedding day. I had a large wedding party and she stayed organized and kept things moving to keep the timeline of my day on track. She did half of my bridal party’s makeup and it turned out wonderful and stayed beautiful throughout the extreme heat I had for my outdoor July wedding! I definitely will be recommending Belle Femme Artists to friends and family in the future!”

“Shannon does an amazing job. She’s extremely detailed oriented and her work is flawless. She excels at highlighting natural beauty and was exactly what I was looking for.”

“Sarah was absolutely lovely to work with and really delivered gorgeous, glowing, natural results on my big day. I had come from having a bad experience at a previous makeup trial so meeting Sarah (just days before my destination wedding) was such a breath of fresh air. She took her time with my trial, listened to my ideas, considered my photos of inspiration and consulted me without condescension. She was also willing to try multiple looks to show me more natural looks versus more dramatic. What a gift that was. On our actual wedding day, she was on time and organized, working through my bridal party with the same steady pace and calming energy as she had shown me at my trial. When she got to me, she waited patiently as I nervously cried and she still produced beautiful results despite my little breakdown. Everyone glowed with their natural beauty and chose their own eye and lip color. They looked stunning. I was so impressed with how well our airbrushed makeup held up through my ceremony (where we all cried like babies) and even through my reception (where we danced and sweated the night away). If you are looking to enhance your own natural beauty, get great photos and work with someone patient and kind, Sarah is the one.”

“I am not someone who wears make up everyday, looking like myself was my top priority when deciding to get my make up done. Shannon nailed it, I've never felt more like myself and the make up application was flawless. Wish I had more excuses to get my make up done by Shannon!!” 

-Shelby Mentzer, Delafield

“I was really particular in what I was looking for for my wedding day. I wanted someone who could bring out my best and as a very light makeup wearer, I didn't want to look too done-up or not like myself. I was also adamant about finding an artist who could airbrush and would travel to where we were getting ready. Shannon checked all of my boxes. She travelled to my home for the trial and was pleasant and professional. On the day of our wedding, she was prompt and wonderful to be around. We were also able to talk through some adjustments that made me look my best and she did a terrific job with my bridesmaids and mother. All of us girls looked and felt stunning! I would absolutely recommend this talented woman!”

-April Reynolds, Waukesha

“Shannon and Jackie were an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only did they do an excellent job on my, my mom's, and my bridesmaids' make-up, but they were also incredibly professional and efficient. They were attentive to each individual in regards to creating a look that was tailored to them!  Shannon gave me a look that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It was light, felt incredibly natural, but also "popped" in all of my pictures. My mom was nervous going into the experience, as she had never had her make-up done and kept saying she "didn't want to look fake". Jackie and Shannon were patient and took the time to listen to my mom until her make-up was perfect! Overall, we had a fabulous experience with Shannon and Jackie! I would definitely recommend!” 

-Leah Frazier, Milwaukee

“Sarah really listened to what I envisioned for how I wanted to look on my wedding day, and my makeup was perfect! I would highly recommend Sarah and the company in general to anyone needing makeup done for a special occasion.”

-Nicole Gomez, Milwaukee

“Shannon and Sarah were absolutely incredible on my wedding day.  With so many things that can potentially go wrong, how you look and feel shouldn't be one of them. I am extremely picky, as were most of my bridesmaids and they worked their magic to ensure our make-up was exactly what we wanted. We didn't have to touch up or 'fix' anything which we have had to in the past. Shannon and Sarah are extremely talented and any bride/bridal party would be lucky to have them as their make-up artists.” 

-Jenna Seefeld, Oak Creek

“First off, Shannon is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! She made me feel so calm and relaxed on my big day. She is an incredible makeup artist. I felt so confident and beautiful! My makeup looked exactly how I wanted it to look! I was so satisfied with the outcome and would definitely use her again for a special occasion!”

-Avery Walters, Dallas, TX

“It was such a pleasure to work with Shannon! She is so good at what she does and my mom, my sister, and I all LOVED the makeup she did for us for my wedding. We felt like our best selves and received so many kind words on how it looked. Shannon is so sweet and I am so appreciative of her talents! Thank you, Shannon!”

-Katie Den Boer, Cedarburg

“Shannon was excellent! She is amazing at what she does. I loved the makeup she did for my wedding. She is very professional and took her time.  All of my bridesmaids loved the job she did as well."

-Rachael Owsiak, Menomonee Falls

“I was referred to Shannon by my daughter who had used Shannon for her own wedding a few years ago. I wanted a very natural look and not too heavy as I usually do not wear a lot of make up and especially no eye shadow of any kind. I was very happy with the look as it was not overly done and did look very natural. I would definitely recommend the airbrush look as it lasted all day and I didn’t need any touch ups throughout the whole evening. Another thing I would recommend are the individual false eyelashes. I was skeptical at first as I did not want that heavy look of fake eyelashes but since these are individual lashes they were not at all heavy and really make your eyes pop. Shannon is very friendly, professional and has a wonder talent. She is so easy to work with and gets back to you promptly with any questions. My four daughters and I had a wonderful experience with Shannon and I would recommend her. Thank you Shannon for sharing your talent and making my day memorable!”

“Shannon was so great to work with- she had lots of amazing products and applied them all beautifully! She also did a great job catering to everyone's individual makeup needs.”

-Alison, Mequon

"I would highly recommend the Belle Femme team! They were incredibly easy to work with and made everyone look absolutely stunning. The airbrush foundation they use is a must! It lasts all day and night and looks great in pictures. We even took pictures in the misty rain and I cried during the ceremony and my makeup didn't smudge at all! They are amazing!”
