About Essie Cohen Makeup LLC

Essie

Owner & Lead Makeup artist

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.

I have been doing makeup for over 17 years and while doing weddings and events worked for one of biggest brands MAC cosmetics for ten years. My time with MAC taught my a lot, everyday was different, everyday you had all sorts of clients. So my biggest asset is I can do all ages, all sexes, races and it comes naturally. I always exposed myself to different experiences so I could implement with my own clients, whether it was in fashion photography and film.

    Essie is truly amazing to work with!!!! I was the last of three sisters to work with Essie and my entire family has loved working with her each time! She enhances your natural beauty and really listens to what you want. She is also a treat to have around while getting ready - my full bridal party had only great things to say. Her makeup will last all night even through all the dancing! She is truly the best and was such an easy decision when I had to pick my makeup artist!

    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.

    My wedding day was nothing short of magical, and a significant part of that magic was woven by the incredibly talented Essie Cohen. As my makeup artist, Essie not only showcased her impeccable skills but also created an experience that left me feeling like an absolute queen. From our initial consultation to the final touch-up, Essie's professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. She took the time to understand my vision, and her creativity and expertise brought it to life effortlessly. Essie not only enhanced my natural features but also made sure the makeup lasted flawlessly throughout the day and night. What sets Essie apart is not just her technical prowess but also her warm and calming demeanor. On a day filled with nerves and excitement, Essie's presence was like a soothing balm. She exudes a passion for her craft that is infectious and comforting, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. I was particularly impressed by Essie's ability to cater to diverse skin tones and preferences. She personalized the makeup to suit not only my style but also that of my bridesmaids, ensuring everyone felt confident and beautiful. The compliments we received were a testament to Essie's skill in highlighting each person's unique beauty. The makeup products Essie used were of the highest quality, and she shared valuable tips for maintaining the look throughout the day. The attention to hygiene and cleanliness during the application process was also something that did not go unnoticed. If you're looking for a makeup artist who combines talent, professionalism, and a delightful personality, Essie Cohen is the one. She played an integral role in making my wedding day unforgettable, and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Essie, for making me feel like the most radiant version of myself on such a special day!

    Essie was a dream to work with from the initial emails to the day of. Essie knew not only what I what I wanted but also all of my bridesmaids and attendants without a second look. Everyone looked like themselves, but enhanced and glowing. Essie made us all feel like princesses and supermodels, and I can't say enough good things. Do not hesitate. BOOK HER NOW. She won Best of Westchester for a reason, and her professionalism and generally positive vibe and demeanor made it a ten star experience!
