"I was referred to Erin through my hairdresser Julie Potter and it was the best decision I could have made to hire her for my big day! From the trial at my bridal shower to the final touch up on my wedding day Erin was so awesome. She was professional, attentive and her airbrush work was flawless! All my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom looked FABULOUS and the compliments just kept flowing all night. Erin is such a sweetheart and I HIGHLY recommend her services to make you feel beautiful on your special day."
-- Lindsey Valenti, Clifton Park, NY
"Erin was spectacular to work with, and more than I could have hoped or asked for. She responded to all communication quickly and fully. Her contract was clear, professional, and included all the information I needed. She paid careful attention to all the information I gave her about what I was going for with the makeup look. She was on time and super efficient for the makeup trial, and she listened to and fully carried out the changes I requested between the trial and the wedding. The final look she created for makeup on the day-of was fantastic. Her work was so lovely that people added on after seeing what she was doing - a change she totally rolled with (she was also super efficient and organized, and sensitive to making sure we had enough time for everyone).
Also (and for a makeup vendor, just as importantly) - she was absolutely wonderful in the bridal suite on the day-of. She was relaxed, kind, and fun to be around. She made me and the other ladies feel totally at ease and taken care of. She was a terrific addition to the day. I seriously could not recommend her enough."

"If you're skin is in need of some TLC, go see Erin! She can treat your skin issues and she can consult with you on what type of treatment is best and how to maintain clear skin! I had red blotches, uneven skin tone, and a problem area on my cheek. I did a 6-session package, even after the first session my skin looked and felt amazing! It's been weeks since my last treatment and my skin is still clear! I owe Erin and the Skin Script products a huge Thank you!"
-- Danielle Farnan, Albany, NY
"I was beyond amazed by the work Erin did for my wedding day! She made me picture perfect, along with my bridal party! I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Erin's work ethic and professionalism. She was extremely flexible, personable, great to work with and I'm very happy she came HIGHLY recommended for me by a good friend. She gave me a very natural look but also showcased my inner beauty because I never wear makeup. I just loved how I radiated in my photos! Thank you SO much for everything Erin!"
-- Sheila Le, Mechanicville, NY
" I just had an amazing facial with Erin!! She took the time to get to know my skin and my issues with it. I loved that she took me step by step through what she was doing, what she was using and why. I would highly recommend her to anyone, with any skin type. For the record- mine is combination, sensitive and I have eczema. If she can handle my skin, she can handle anyone's."

"Erin is such a sweetheart! From the very beginning Erin was very quick to respond to my emails. Answered all the questioned I was looking for.

I felt beyond beautiful because of her work. Erin did an amazing job. I highly suggest hiring her for your next event. All my bridesmaids were in love as well."

“I am a photographer and I’ve worked with Erin as my makeup artist numerous times. Because I specialize in boudoir and glamour it is very important to me that women who come in for a photo shoot have trust in me and my collaborative crew. We greet women together, then Erin spends a good 45 minutes with the woman doing her magic, while I am setting up for the shoot. In that time, I know Erin represents herself and me well, she is kind, knowledgeable, attentive to details and willing to try different things to accommodate a client. Her expertise in make up application makes a joy to work with for any photographer: there is barely any retouching needed after her application of makeup. Erin is always on time and comes well prepared. She works fast and accurate, which is great for clients and photographers. I highly recommend Erin as your makeup artist be it for a photo shoot, wedding or any other special event."

"I first visited Erin before Christmas for a facial. As someone concerned with proper care of her aging skin, I looked forward to this pampering during such a hectic time of year. But facials are not just for pampering. As I learned from Erin, they are an important part of one's skin care routine. She examined my skin and asked questions to determine the best type of products to use. As she performed each step, Erin explained what she was doing and why. The facial was as educational as it was beneficial and relaxing. I'm well overdue for my next one so I will be calling her soon to book an appointment. In addition, Erin is a gifted makeup artist and I had the privilege of having my makeup done by her for a recent photoshoot. The results were flawless! I highly recommend Erin for any of the services she offers. She is a gem in this industry!"

"I look forward to every facial appointment I make with Erin! Seems like whenever I visit, she always concocts a new recipe to go with the holidays or season - my favorites were her White Chocolate Raspberry facial for Valentines Day and the Spiced Cider facial for the fall! They smell so good, and leave my skin looking refreshed and glowing - I feel like a new person whenever I walk out of her studio! I love her consultations too, she is very knowledgeable and customizes my facial for my skin type and needs; she even helps me with my diet and nutrition, so I don't break out and have more radiant looking skin! The products she sells are top notch too, and even though I just turned the big 3-0, my skin has never looked THIS good! Thank you Erin!"
-- Gina Cirilli, Cohoes, NY
