May Wedding Makeup with Cat/Windy City Glam
•Verified review
•Lily H.•Sep 5
I discovered Cat/windycityglam through Reddit and Instagram, and I felt confident choosing her for my wedding glam thanks to the consistently glowing reviews on social media and Google, along with her impressively extensive and actively updated portfolio. Still, I was nervous—past professional makeup experiences often left me feeling unlike myself, so hiring an artist was one of the more daunting parts of wedding planning. Cat completely changed that for me with her thoughtful communication leading up to the wedding, during the trial, and on the wedding day itself. The trial set clear expectations, gave us the chance to discuss my comfort levels and preferences, and allowed Cat to really get to know my features. She took meticulous notes, photos, and videos to ensure every angle and lighting were considered. On the wedding day, she refined the look slightly from the trial, and the result was even better than I imagined. For reference, I scheduled my trial the same week as the wedding, which I highly recommend—it kept details fresh for both Cat and me and minimized variables. Cat and her hairstylist arrived at our hotel suite at 7 a.m., and the morning flew by. Cat was warm, conversational, and attentive—always checking in and inviting me to share input, which made me feel part of the process. My makeup held up flawlessly through happy tears, hugs, dancing, and plenty of sweating, with just one lipstick touch-up before the ceremony. I felt radiant, confident, and—most importantly—like myself. She also styled my hair beautifully into a low bun, even teaching my sister how to place and remove my veil, and secured it so well that it stayed perfect all night despite all the movement. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cat to my family, friends, and especially Asian brides who may be hesitant about professional makeup. She made me feel truly beautiful on one of the most important days of my life, and I already look forward to booking her again for future special occasions. Go Cat! FYI my mother also received the same hair and makeup service from Cat. See photos for reference.

You were the kind of client glam every artist dreams about — sweet, radiant and full of trust. Thank you so much, Lily! 🥰

I had the absolute best experience with Windy City Glam for my wedding! From the moment we started, they made me feel completely at ease. My makeup was flawless, it lasted perfectly through tears, laughter, dancing, and the whole day. They truly listened to my preferences and enhanced my natural features without making me feel overdone. All of my bridesmaids also looked stunning, and they couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved their makeup and hair too. We loved it!

I had the best experience with Windy City Glam for my wedding in July! Jeanette gave me the most beautiful, glowy soft glam look—exactly like what we did in my trial. Reyna nailed my hair and brought my vision to life effortlessly. I truly felt like the best version of myself. All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup too—one even said she wants to book Windy City Glam for her own wedding! Beyond making everyone look amazing, the team helped set the perfect tone for the morning. They arrived 15 minutes early and kept everything running smoothly. Thanks to their efficiency and calm energy, I was seated and ready 30 minutes ahead of schedule, which gave me extra time to relax, eat breakfast, sip mimosas, and enjoy the moment with my mom and bridesmaids. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and calming beauty team for your big day, I can't recommend Windy City Glam enough.

I had a great experience with Windy City Glam and would recommend them to any bride! Cat and her team were very professional and attentive, and provided a great experience with amazing results. Everyone loved their hair and makeup, and I especially appreciate the time spent on my glam! I looked and felt incredible and the whole look turned out exactly as we had discussed after my trial! Cat was so accommodative in answering questions and honoring any requests I had. Both the makeup and hair lasted so well all night, and the team knows so many ways to perfect the bridal look and experience! I also appreciate doing a 2nd hair trial to get the perfect look and Cat staying for my touchups! I’m so happy we booked Windy City Glam!
