Introduction

Emma wants you to create a special "lumous" when you enter the room but not to look like it took three hours to get ready. Your confidence after having a professional makeup done that makes you look like the better version of you will lighten up the party. People will say "You look gorgeous!" rather than think about who did your makeup. Her makeup-kit includes mainly high-quality nontoxic products, that are safe for you to use. ("Lumous" is a word that translates from Finnish to English as "enchantment, spell, charm" even as "witchery".)

Emma did my graduation make up couple years ago and I couldn't be more happier about it. It is not easy to trust anyone for a important day like that, but she did amazing job with it! Not only she made my make up she also gave me some advise for every day life, like shades I could use and which are good quality products etc.. Se was on time, easy to talk with, well mannered and she made it a fun moment to get ready for my special day! I can definitely recommend Emma Graef to help you make your special day as good as you deserve it to be! I'm definitely using her services again!

Emma is a very talented make-up artist. I contracted her to take care of a bridal party of five, where they all had different skin tones and everyone was very thrilled with the results. One of the ladies had very sensitive skin and she was resourceful with finding alternatives that would not affect her skin. She was great with answering any questions that I had prior to contracting her and open to applying make-up accordingly to each person's individual style and was flexible working with the hairstylist that I contracted as well. The day of, Emma arrived on time and finished all of the ladies without delay. Not only is she knowledgeable but she is really pleasant to work with. Everyone felt at ease working with her. I would without hesitation recommend Emma as a make-up artist.

Emma was absolutely fantastic! She was on time, professional, very sweet, and best of all she created the look that I wanted for my wedding in NYC. She communicated with me ahead of time to go over ideas, and she totally delivered. She even did my daughter's hair too at the last minute! Highly recommend Emma.
