She was truly fabulous. I didn't have to think twice about booking her - I saw what she did with my eyes, and I was sold (not to mention how nice she is too)...I'm not shy when it comes to makeup, but I had no idea she could make my eyes look like this!! I had it done at 12:30 and they still look great.

I tried the airbrush, and am so glad I did. It definitely makes the makeup last - but I do need to touch it up with rice papers and/or powder, because I have extremely oily skin. JN is wonderful, but I can't expect miracles from anyone!!! I highly recommend her - not only for her talent, but she seems truly genuine to me as well.

I was upset when I got home though. I have very problematic skin - break outs all the time, and as I mentioned above, my skin is really oily. I think it's because I have large pores. I guess I had in my head that a makeup artist CAN work miracles. I was hoping that the airbrushing would take away the oil. Naive, yes I know, but Im happy that at least it has stayed on all this time even with the blotting, and you can't see any redness from my blemishes. I wish there was something they can do to just 'seal' my pores for the day to make the oil go away. I have a pit in my stomach just thinking about it. I feel like I'm going to have to blot every 10 min. at the wedding and during pictures. Does anyone have this problem at all, or am I doomed to walk the OILY HIGHWAY alone all my life? If you do have this problem, have you tried a pore minimizer at all? Any suggestions? I've always gotten depressed about it, but it really hit me today that I am 31 with a 15 year olds skin type. Thanks for listening...

Anyway, if you haven't booked a makeup artist yet, I would HIGHLY recommend Jacqueline Nicole.

There are actually three Sephora stores in Long Island. One in Manhasset, one in Roosevelt Field, and another in Walt Whitman Mall. Try one of them, they have quite a few lines of makeup, they're sure to have something that will help. Also, I'm not sure if this is true or not, but a friend of mine told me that if you wash your face too often with soaps that are too harsh, your skin can actually produce more oil to compensate for the drying effect of the soap. Try to calm down, added stress will only lead to more breakouts. I'm sure you're the only one who notices that your skin is oily, and you will look beautiful on your day no matter what.
