I'm a repeat Customer

I've known Orly for many years and have been a very satisfied repeat customer. I first met her when she did my makeup for my daughter's Bat mitzvah, and was so pleased with her work that I hired her several more times, I clouding my sons Bar mitzvah. I was also pleased to see she started her own line of products, so I started using those as well several years ago. Orly knows how to make the look you want whether it's a look for a Saturday night affair or a daytime luncheon, she's got you covered. I'd happily use her again should I have an occasion.

Baby shower makeup

Orly once did my makeup for my baby shower. She was able to make me feel amazing and beautiful during a time I felt awkward, sweaty, and clumsy and was just self conscious of how I looked. Definitely recommend Orly doe any special event you might have.

Outstanding Service

So incredibly happy with Orly and her team! She always replied to my emails and my concerns. She was professional, kind, helped me organize my timeline for the morning. When it came to the makeup, whether it was a natural look no lashes for MIL OR me and my high glam girls she truly delivers. Everyone looked amazing and the makeup lasted ALL DAY AND NIGHT, even outside when we all felt like we were melting in the heat. The makeup showed up elegantly in the photos with all the highlights you want to see. Truly outstanding makeup application by Megan and helping me feel like a queen that day. Highly recommend Orly and her Team! 😊❤️

Absolutely phenomenal!!

Orly was exceptional from booking to the day of my wedding. She did my bridal makeup and makeup for my mother and sister. All three of us envisioned a natural look with a touch of glow and a popping effect for the eyes. Orly delivered beyond all expectations - we were all so happy with the end results and the makeup stayed on all day and night despite an early morning application! Orly is an outstanding makeup artist, super professional, a great communicator, and she collaborates with other artists on her team - Jen Adelstein @hairsecretswithjen (Hair stylist) did FABULOUS bridal and MoH hair styles for me and my sisters, which also looked beautiful and held all day despite a windy outdoor wedding! Orly really made me feel SO special and always ensured that I was relaxed and comfortable. I strongly recommend Orly and her team of artists, and I will be using her services for future occasions without reservation! Thank you Orly! Thank you Jen!

Fabulous experience!

I would highly recommend using Orly Khan makeup artist. From the first email I was already a happy customer. Her responsiveness to my questions was almost immediate which is unusual for most vendors.
Her artist were friendly, punctual and did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids.

Amazing and highly recommended

Orly has done my makeup a few times when I was a bridesmaid in two separate weddings. She always does an amazing job and listens to your input - I always feel like myself but more glamorous when she does my face. She takes your feedback into account - if you want to look glam, you definitely will, and if you want to take it down a notch, she will do that too. I love her approach to lashes, as she will do individual clusters that look way more real and stay better compared to one strip, and your skin will always look glowing and flawless. She also always uses high quality products (as a Sephora junkie I can verify this haha).

When it came to my wedding, Orly was one of the first vendors I booked because I knew I wanted her services that day. Unfortunately COVID forced me to postpone, and even though Orly was not personally available on my new date, she made sure I was covered with a lovely colleague whom she had trained personally, and I was totally comfortable with that. In all the time leading up to both wedding dates, Orly was always flexible and in touch and offered scheduling advice based on my needs and the needs of my bridal party. On the day of my ceremony, she ensured there were two highly trained artists present to make sure that my bridesmaids, mother, and myself would be looked after in plenty of time for the photographer's scheduled First Look.

Personally I think I looked flawless that day, and so did my bridal party. Also, it was an extremely hot and humid day with some raindrops mixed in, and despite the outdoor ceremony and outdoor photos, all of our makeup looked fabulous and did not budge all day long.

Orly and her colleagues Skye and Alex were an absolute dream to work with - polite, professional, and their work is on point. Highly recommend. My mom also could not stop gushing about everyone's makeup. Trust me, you will never regret working with Orly, she's a gem.

Best makeup artist ever!

Orly is a true professional. She really knows her trade and is easy to work with. She listens to what you have to say and adjusts the makeup accordingly - no ego, no arguments. She makes sure you are happy with the end product. Orly knows how to treat different types of skin and issues. She gave me a great pre-wedding skin routine. And on the day of wedding my makeup stayed on til the very end. That's over 15 hours of wear. I am so happy with Orly's services. I highly recommend her to everyone!
