Hi there! I am a native New Yorker who always knew she wanted to be a part of the cosmetic industry. I graduated from the Make-Up Designory in 2008 and have over 12 years of experience as a full time makeup artist working everything from fashion week, commercial, theater and red carpet make-up. Weddings have been a constant throughout my career and styling brides has forever been my favorite type of make-up. I love being apart of someone's special day and creating a look that makes them feel like the best version of themselves.

I cannot recommend Alexa enough. She went above and beyond in listening to what I wanted for my wedding look, giving suggestions, and made me look like the best version of myself. I was very clear that I wanted to look elevated and tasteful, and she more than delivered. I've already used her three times for other events in my life, and plan to seek her out for every family wedding moving forward. I would honestly start giving her services as a wedding gift to friends and family. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

My wife opted for a hairstyle-only look, and her updo was beautifully executed and held perfectly. On the morning of the wedding, Cindy and her team kept me calm and looking gorgeous. The trial run was also a great experience, taking place in their comfortable and relaxing in-home studio.

Essie Cohen Makeup LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Serves Mamaroneck, NY

I have loved doing makeup since I was in middle school, always an artist and creative and when I discovered makeup it seemed The world aligned. My passion for people and sharing experiences with my clients and my love for makeup makes this my favorite thing I’ve ever done. My relationships with my clients is my favorite part.

Essie was my makeup artist for my June 22, 2024 wedding, and I simply cannot recommend her enough. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly professional with her brides. Though she has done hundreds (or maybe even thousands?) of weddings, she took the time to personalize my look for ME, and to encourage me to be honest if I wanted any tweaks. Her energy is so calm and positive- the exact thing you need in a hectic bridal suite. She worked FAST and even kept us ahead of schedule- which I believe is unheard of for the wedding day! Her assistant Riley made skin prep a total dream, and many of my bridesmaids said it was the best professional makeup they've ever received. However, Essie became more than a makeup artist throughout my planning process. When our photographer needed to cancel, she saw my post in a bridal FB group and immediately texted me to send about 25 photography recs- following up to be sure I'd found someone. When I posted in that same group asking for help finding a sponsor for our country club venue, Essie jumped in to help. She went WAY above and beyond what a vendor does for a client, and instead acted as a genuine friend. It's hard to fully put into words how wonderful she is, but booking with Essie is a no-brainer.

Hi! Our team at Gold Lux would be honored to contribute to your wedding day glam. We offer custom organic spray tans & LED teeth whitening. We have several bridal packages to make your planning easy.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had several spray tans done at Gold Lux and have loved them! They have a brown base so you dont look orange at all. I am a wedding photographer and have had several of my brides sprayed at Gold Lux and they photograph beautifully on the wedding day, with a natural look. There is a ton of information on her instagram page that gives you all of the details. She makes you feel very comfortable during the tan and gives easy directions to follow in order to give you a tan that is full coverage. I also just did a brow filling - this was the first time I have ever let anyone touch my brows and I keep getting complimented on them. I always have to fill in my brows when doing my makeup, but with the fill they look more even, filled and full. Great for vacation to have one less thing to worry about or every day.

Beauty & Bridal Philly was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day. From the very first interaction, the team was responsive, flexible, and incredibly kind. As a woman of color with a multiethnic bridal party, I was worried about finding a makeup team that would be well-versed in things like color theory and able to make us look and feel beautiful. But the artists at Beauty & Bridal Philly exceeded my expectations - Martha in particular made sure I looked absolutely stunning, and her Tess, and Tiffani made the entire bridal party looked flawless. The quality of their work is truly professional and long-lasting - our makeup was on for over 12 hours and it still looked great by the end of the night!. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to help make our special day perfect.

A hopeless romantic and people person, I found my true passion when working in the bridal industry. I love getting to meet excited brides, connecting with them to learn about their vision, how they dreamed of the perfect wedding so I can bring that to life! Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job. Building a friendship is a by-product, and I have become friends with so many of my brides, staying connected years after the wedding, and even glamming them up for other big milestones of their journey, like maternity pictures and baby showers!

Juliana is the absolute best. From our initial call - I knew she was the one I wanted. She was one of the first vendors you are with in the morning, and she brought the smiles, the love, and made all of the girls feel comfortable, and most importantly, the most beautiful. I have never had my makeup done so beautifully. It lasted all day / all night, and I felt and looked the most stunning I ever had in my life. She's truly a gem and is worth every cent!

Sarah’s a fantastic hair stylist. I am soooo grateful I was able to book her for my wedding. Shes easy going, diligent and efficient. Shes super easy to chat with, but she’s quiet if you’re not the chatty type. My hair was immaculate, and all the girls in my bridal party and the moms looked fantastic; everyone loved their hair. Most importantly, all of us had our hairstyle stay in place through the end of the night. On top of the service itself, I was so happy with the process from before the hair trial through the wedding day. Sarah made everything easy for me to manage (and by that, she managed it, I just looked it over) and made sure I was comfortable and happy with everything along the way. We all loved her so much, my sister wants to book her for her wedding next year!
