    Bride

    From the moment I booked with Brides by Insignia, I was impressed by Dr. Tomi’s highly responsive communication style. She was always quick to answer my questions and provide updates throughout the planning process. On the day of my wedding, the quality of her work was truly top-notch. I knew Dr. Tomi was amazing when I got tons of compliments after my trial - she has such an incredible craft. My makeup lasted all night during the actual wedding! You need to book Dr. Tomi, she is the best! I cannot recommend Brides by Insignia enough for any couple looking for a talented makeup artist to help make their special day perfect.

    Bride

    I had the pleasure of working with Brides by Insignia, Beauty Professional for my wedding day makeup. Tomi was incredibly responsive, empathetic, and always on time throughout the planning process, which I really appreciated during that stressful time. On the big day itself, Tomi listened attentively to what I envisioned and worked tirelessly to make sure I felt and looked my absolute best. She made me feel so comfortable and confident. I'll never forget when she stayed by my side, almost like a bridesmaid, so I wouldn't be alone before leaving for the venue - it meant the world. The biggest thing I appreciated is how neat she was. I have a worked with a bunch of make up artist and her cleanliness in the use of products, brush and beauty blenders won my heart. Beyond her wonderful communication and customer service, Tomi's makeup artistry is simply stunning. She also made amazing content for me. You should check out her Instagram content creation handle @bellachicagowedding. I wholeheartedly recommend Brides by Insignia for your big day!

    Exceptional and very satisfied

    I had the pleasure of working with Tomi (brides by insignia) for my wedding. She is the total package, she’s an exceptional makeup artist, very professional, punctual, flexible, kind and affordable. She made my big day very special and stress free. I had her make me up for my bridal shower, my wedding and my traditional wedding. She made my day a remarkable one. She not only did my make up but my hair as well. I’m really glad and will be forever grateful to her for making my day special. I have recommended her to a number of brides and I will continue to recommend her, if you’re looking for a great make up artist for your special day look no further. You can thank me later.

    Dr. Tomi gave me the absolute best bridal experience! Her attentiveness, sweet spirit, and level of professionalism on my wedding day was everything a bride would want and also what some didn’t know they needed until the day comes. When problems came swarming my way, Dr. Tomi helped me remain calm and helped me regulate my emotions. She went way above her call of duty on the day. She was a hype man, a space of peace in calamity, a content creator and director, and most importantly felt like family. She felt like a big sister helping me make sure my day went off without a hitch and my makeup was absolutely FLAWLESS!! 😍😍😍 The whole experience is worth every penny she charges and not to mention the personalized gift she brought to me. Oh my goodness!!! My words are far too scarce to express the level of appreciation and gratitude I have for Dr. Tomi on my wedding day. She will always have a place in my heart, a space at my family’s table, and a MUA job when I need it most. Don’t hesitate to book with her!
