Testimonials
Finn was incredible to work with and made myself, all of my bridesmaids, my mom and MIL look and feel like our best. She was extremely organized which was very helpful to me as I was working full time while working on my masters and living in Georgia. We did a makeup trial a few months before the wedding which was extremely helpful to see what the look would be on the big day. She listened to what I wanted and executed my vision perfectly. The day of the wedding Finn was on time and ready to go! I was last to get my makeup done and I remember her saying "I want you to really relax while I put your makeup on because the rest of the day is going to fly by!" which was of course 100% true and I was glad to have those minutes to really relax and soak it all in! I could praise Finn all day long and would recommend her for any formal occasion!

Finn, from Blush Away Makeup, was so wonderful to work with for my wedding. The makeup she did on myself, all five of my bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law was stunning. Despite the fact that we all look incredibly different everyone who got makeup done looked incredible. Finn even took the time to speak with my mother in law, ahead of the wedding, to discuss her skin sensitivities and concerns. I really felt like I looked my most beautiful on my special day. Thank you again Finn for all your hard work!

Finn was amazing! I initially thought I wanted airbrushed makeup but after speaking with Finn we went the traditional route and it was perfect! My makeup was the best I’ve ever had and it lasted the entire evening! I have been in weddings where no one is happy with how they end up looking and this was not the case with Finn! All of my bridesmaids and the mothers were so happy with their makeup! Finn has a great knowledge of skin care which I found so valuable both for the wedding prep and everyday! I would use her again without a second thought!!!!!

I worked with Finn for my engagement shoot, make up trials, and day of and she was absolutely perfect. She truly listens to her clients and gives you a FLAWLESS look. When the power went out at our venue the night before the wedding and still wasn't on morning of, she came earlier than expected and made sure everything was good to go for us to get ready. She is kind, accommodating, organized, and just a true joy to be around. Hire Finn for your wedding make up and you will not regret it! :)
