My trial with JN! NOW W/ PICS? VERY LONG!- Sorry
I loved JN!! JN and her family are so sweet. My aunt said it felt like she was family ( must be the italian thing ). She was so patient and really listened to us and took the time to explain everything to us. We got there at 11:00 and left at 2:00 and there was only three of us but we were gabbing allot. All I have to say is that boyfriend of hers better put a nice shiny big
on her finger soon!!So when i first got there she asked me a few questions like what do I normally wear (nothing!),what look I like (very natural) and what does my dress and the BM 's dress look like. She reminded me of John from Flower Michele Florist ( all the girls who booked him will know what i mean) and I like vendors like that. They really want to know about you and what you want not what they think you should do. She did the airbrushing which gave me such an all over glow that i can't explain. Then when she was done she told me to go over by the mirror and tell her if I didn't like anything and wanted to change. I really loved it.

More...I felt very natural and not 'made up' at all!! The only thing i did want to change was to a darker lipstick since i will be in pics. She had originally put a nice nude kind of color on (which I loved for everyday wear and would never think it would look good on me) but it wasn't her fault I told her I normally don't wear anything so she was just going by what I said. So then she put on a really nice color that I would again normally not pick for myself ( i'm used to plum and wine colors) but I loved it. I didn't know I could wear that color!! The only other thing we changed was to a darker shade on my eyes because my aunt and SIL siad it would show up better in pics and with a white gown. Although I really like it the original way i went with what they said. Jn said the day of we would start out light and go from there.Now my SIL (Leigh), She looked amazing!! Honestly I could not stop staring at her. She looked better then she looked on her wedding day!
Still more...but it won't let me do it all at once for some reason

Re: My trial with JN! VERY LONG!- Sorry
I told you it was long...My aunt Dori was really against having anyone doing her makeup but after she saw me and Leigh she changed her mind. Let me tell you she looked like one FOXXY MOMMA!! I was so happy becuase normally she puts on dark eyeshadow and looks Blah. I love my aunt and think she is beautiful but i really want her took look her best the day of. JN made her look amazing. She really brightened her up. I have never seen my aunt look so amazing before. The best part was she loved it too and has now decided to let her makeup be done that day. YEAH!!!
I also have to say how patient JN was...we had to bring my nephew (ethan-also my ring bearer) with us and he was not happy. All he did was whine (really loud) and was a pain! I felt so bad but JN was so nice about it! We went upstairs to see her amazing tree ( so she sould do my SIL in peace) and her dad came out and put on the train set for him ( he loves trains) and listened to all Ethan questions!! Then he took pics of us because stupid me forgot my camera. They are all really sweet. So if you haven't figured it out...WE BOOKED HER!!
Also when I went to give her a tip ( I wish I would have had more to give her) she wouldn't take it until I told her no please take it ( she deserved every penny)!!

Glad to hear you had a great experience with JN. I am going to call and set up an appointment with her. Do you think it is too early since my wedding is not until November?

Re: My trial with JN! VERY LONG!- Sorry
I dont remember how I did it exactly but somewhere on the website is a choice to 'share' the photoalbum. I shared it with myself (gave my own email) and that gives you a link to the public album. That link you can put no here.Does that help????
