Testimonials

About two years ago, I met Tommy... I was, and still am, impressed with his knowledge and expertise and knew right away that he was a star. I recently attended a Master Class Tommy orchestrated at Bergdorf’s – not only did I learn a lot but it was also a very enjoyable evening. Tommy organized it in such a way that we all put on the makeup ourselves - under his direction - so valuable. Tommy created and facilitated the class because he understands his clients - that we learn better by doing than just watching. Tommy is magical - he transformed my friends and me into the best we can be. He always knows the newest products and the products that look good on me. I will continue to go to him in the future. Tommy is the best!

Tommy brings quality to his work. No one leaves his chair less than perfect. On top of top-shelf make up, he is an expert on skin care, and will create a unique skin care program for you to help heal your skin, and ultimately shine. You are not just getting a new face for a few hours...with Tommy, you are getting a full evaluation of your [look] and what you need to do to be beautiful every day. I have never met with a make-up artist that puts that much thought and passion into their work.

Tommy did my daughter’s bridal make up, and also mine. He created a very natural look for my daughter which was absolutely perfect; and looking at the wedding photos I still can’t quite believe how he worked the magic that made me look at least ten years younger! Everything about working with Tommy was great - from the trial through to the day of. He was totally professional and responsive throughout. He listens, is generous with ideas and advice, and made us feel he really cared about us. In other words, a real delight to work with. I highly recommend him.

"From the first time I met Tommy for my trial, I knew he was who I wanted doing my wedding makeup. He made me feel so comfortable and at ease, which ever bride needs the morning of her wedding. Even more importantly, Tommy make me feel my most beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Leading up to the wedding ,he even met me to the perfect lipstick and blush so that I could touch up through the day. Thank you Tommy for making me look and feel my most beautiful on my wedding day and after in all the pictures and videos!

“Wow, Tommy is an absolute joy! I worked with Tommy for the year leading up to my October wedding and he helped me with product recommendations, establishing healthy beauty and self care routines, as well as meeting with me numerous times to answer my questions and try new looks. He did my makeup (the bride), my mothers, and best friend and he made us look gorgeous. Additionally, my makeup lasted through the entire day and I received so many compliments. I would work with Tommy again and again. I can’t recommend him MORE.”

“Tommy is everything I wanted in a makeup artist for my wedding. He listened to what I wanted, which was a better version of my natural self: glowing skin, defined eyes, soft lip, etc. I felt amazing on the day and I just got my photos back, and I look exactly how I’d planned! Plus my makeup stayed pristine for 8+ hours. He’s lovely to work with, and added great energy to the day. And he picked the perfect lipstick, which he let me keep for touch ups!”

“Tommy is a dream. Our trial was absolutely amazing and probably my favorite experience throughout this entire wedding process. Not only is he fabulous, charming and hilarious, but he really listens to you and what you want. I explained how I envisioned myself, as in what I liked/didn’t like and he put together a beautiful, natural look. I find that so many brides don’t look like themselves on their wedding day, and the last thing I wanted was caked on product and some cookie cutter look. If I had questions along the way, he took the time to explain his technique and also provided tips for the future. Since then, my skin has never looked better and I cannot wait to get ready with him the morning of our wedding! He is super talented and you can really tell that he loves what he does, because he’s amazing at it. I would definitely recommend him to any bride who wants to feel gorgeous on her wedding day.”

“I am at a complete loss for words, he is absolutely fantastic! He is beyond talented, so knowledgeable, patient and couldn’t be sweeter! My make up artist for my wedding had to cancel last minute but was able to connect me with Tommy in her place. I never had the opportunity to meet him, let alone do a trial with him but I told him the gist of what I was looking for and he totally made that a reality and so much more. He came so prepared and traveling over an hour and I put my total trust in him. I was complimented all night and have him to thank! I can't wait to work with him again!”

— Justine, NJ

“Tommy is my #1 go-to artist! He knows exactly what to do. For me to look my best for an important occasion or night out or simply to just be pampered, I trust him unconditionally. Not only is Tommy fun, attentive, and an amazingly talented artist, he is a genuinely a great person — so much so that we love to connect for lunch and keep up-to-date on each others’ lives. I give him 5 out of 5 stars hands down. I would refer Tommy to all my friends and know that he will give them the same treatment!”

“My sister and I recently sat down with Tommy on a trip to NYC: we both love beauty and he makes the best beauty recommendations! We love seeing Tommy whenever we are in NYC and would highly recommend him. He is extremely professional while still being totally approachable. I can’t wait until the next time!”

— Hether, WA

“If I could rate Tommy 10 stars then I would!! He is the best makeup artist, hands down. Times spent working with him are always my favorite. He knows how to interpret all of my needs. He even takes the time to teach me his makeup techniques, helps me with making my skin look its best, and only uses nice beauty products. He helps me look like the most amazing and best version of myself. When Tommy does my makeup, people don’t tell me my makeup looks great, they tell me I look great!”

“Tommy is always helpful and I find him to be very knowledgeable about beauty products. He will recommend products that will help with your beauty routine and will make you look your best.”

“I’m a commercial, fashion, and music photographer and I work with Tommy as my lead makeup artist whenever he is available. He is so fantastic, in fact, that I often schedule my shoots around his availability. He is extraordinarily skilled as an artist both from a technical and a creative perspective, he is stylistically versatile, and he also works incredibly well with my clients. Tommy has a particular knack for making the individuals we are shooting comfortable, and not just professional models. When we have “regular” people in the studio who are not used to being in front of the camera he never fails to make them feel beautiful and confident. Words cannot express how grateful I am that he is one of my primary professional collaborators.”

“I have followed Tommy since the very beginning of his career to the exceptional artist he is now… Tommy is a true professional in every sense of the word, while still remaining relatable with his clients and peers. I highly recommend Tommy to anyone seeking a sincerely gifted makeup artist.”
