State of Face Artistry

Let me just say Joy is amazing !! She even sewed my dress when the zipper broke !!! Her work is exceptional and she is fun to work with. She is reasonably priced and her work is impeccable !!!

Joy was AMAZING to work with. She made us girls looks absolutely stunning and everyone is still saying how gorgeous we looked. I have to thank her for turning me onto the wonders of airbrush makeup and fake lashes! she was fun and relaxed with my group of girls, they all had a great time with her and she made everyone feel very comfortable and was willing to work with them to give them their own personal style. I would recommend Joy in a heartbeat for your special day and any of your make-up needs!!

Did everything perfect at a great price. She even worked with the videographer & photographer to get the shots they needed on the morning of the wedding.

Joy has a calm and reassuring presence that puts her clients at ease. She knows how to determine what they need as well as what they want from this very personal art form. She's the real deal.

Our time spent with Joy having our makeup done was the perfect early afternoon activity. Joy has such a wonderful warm and friendly demeanor and is so much fun to spend time with. My daughters wedding was at 5:30 pm. Joy arrived at our home at 11:30am and did my makeup, both my daughters and my neighbor. Wow- best decision I ever made. I worried that it might not last all evening before my daughter had her trial run. Our makeup Looked just as good at 11:30 pm as it did when she completed the job. It really helped us to relax and enjoy our pre-wedding time and we had so many complements! Your special day will be blessed even more if you choose Joy to do your makeup. She is incredibly talented and you will LOVE the results!!!!

Joy did a wonderful job. She actually worked around a trip she had planned in order to take care of 1 bride, 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 2 flower girls!!!! My sister-in-law used her for her wedding and I knew after that experience I wanted to use her for my own. Everyone was very happy

I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Joy. She did an absolutely amazing job on the makeup for me and my entire bridal party for my recent wedding. I know that a few of my bridesmaids were nervous about having their make up done, but after seeing the amazing job that Joy did during my trial, they all decided to have their make up done on the big day and they were all thrilled with the finished product. Besides doing a great job, Joy was a pleasure to work with! She is really down to earth and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a make up artist for their wedding!!

Joy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has an amazing personality and as a newlywed, herself, she has an incredible way of putting brides at ease and making them feel beautiful and confident on their big day. She arrived early on my wedding day to allow extra time in case any of my bridesmaids changed their minds and decided to have their makeup done too. Of course, two of my girls saw how beautiful my mom's makeup looked that they jumped at the chance to have theirs done at the last minute, and Joy was prepared. As for my makeup, I brought a picture that was totally different from what we had done at my trial, and Joy was not only willing but excited to run with my less traditional idea. It turned out better than I expected. All day and evening long, I was overwhelmed by compliments, people telling me how beautiful I looked and not how beautiful my makeup looked. My makeup was done before 11 am, and after hours of hugging, kissing, dancing, sweating, and a LOT of tears, my makeup still looked great when I got back to my hotel room at 2 am! I would recommend Joy in a heartbeat and can't wait to use her for my next special occasion!

Joy is awesome!! She is sweet and makes you really relaxed while getting your makeup done. My makeup looked great the entire day (which was around 14 hours!). Joy listened to what I had in mind and made suggestions that would complement my skin tone. She even made me a lip gloss in my own personal shade to go, so that I could touch up throughout the day. I highly recommend getting airbrushed; my makeup was flawless the entire day and looked very natural. I am grateful to Joy for making me (and my mother, who also looked stunning all day!) feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Thanks Joy!!!!!

Joy was amazing! She did the makeup for my wedding, which included myself, my mother, and five out of seven bridesmaids. Joy was a complete dear to work with - professional, yet very nice, and she was willing to get up early and start as soon as we needed her to. Most of my bridesmaids party was made up of tomboys who don't wear makeup on a regular basis. But when Joy worked her magic we all looked perfect! The photographer couldn't get enough of the girls faces - there were hardly any pictures of the guys! We all got complements on our makeup, eyelashes, blush, etc. We would not have looked nearly as nice without her artistry!I was especially grateful for Joy working with us only a week before her own wedding. The fact that she was still in the final planning stages of her own walk down the aisle and still working was awesome and her work was gorgeous.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Joy be a part of my special day...I honestly think it would not have been the same without her. Joy was such a pleasure to work with..I have a busy work schedule and joy was so understanding...so considerate and such a huge help throughout my busy planning months...Joy accomodated my requests in giving my mom and I trials before the big day, she had great patience..great input and is a hugely talented Make up artist!.on my wedding day in September joy was such a pleasure to work with..she is so fun..loving and provided a great sense of calm : )... myself, mom and bridesmaids all had full make up and it was outstanding...I cannot count how many guests and friends commented on my make up...even in wedding pics after...people asking me who did my make up..it gave me such confidence and really added that finishing touch to my day!joy is an extremely talented make up artist...has a great sense of style/look you like and the final look is amazing..I have and will continue to recommend joy for your special day!! The final perfect touch to your very perfect day :)

Joy was amazing and I could not have picked a better makeup artist for my special day!!!! My makeup looked amazing and the look stayed with me all night, even with all my dancing, talking, eating and drinking:) I had 6 bridesmaids and only 5 of them were planning on having their makeup done and the 6th one decided on the spot that she wanted hers done too along with my mom and the flower girl. Joy was so calm and just went with the flow even when our hair appointments ran over. All the girls were very happy with their makeup and they all looked beautiful. All the makeup Joy uses photographs so well too, that was my favorite part, my acne prone skin looked gorgeous on my day, I can not thank Joy enough!!!!

I give Joy Bemis all 5's Joy was so easy to work with, I am the mother of the bride who lives in Arizona, the wedding was in Columbus, Ohio, so we had to communicate via e-mail and cell phone. She was on time at the hotel, the only thing she asked to provide was a high stool, which the Westin hotel provided, she applied the makeup for 5 attendants, it was extremely natural, and lasted all day. I would recommend her to anyone. Top notch, professional, funny and again a pleasure to work with.

I absolutely loved working with Joy and her crew! I had a large bridal party and she was very accommodating with my needs. My bridal party consisted of myself, the bride, 8 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 3 flower girls. She was so patient with all of us and really made my wedding day go smoothly! The three flower girls loved the extra glitter she put on their faces too! I was so worried about time and getting everything done on time, and she definitely took that stress off of my shoulders! The girls and I all loved our fake lashes (which really made our eyes stand out in pictures) and the touch-up kits she provided. I now have quite a few friends getting married and everyone wants to know who to see for their makeup. If you like the convenience of someone coming to you to "pamper" you and make you beautiful for your wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Joy and State of Face Artistry. I am so glad I chose her for my wedding, and if I ever need anything like this in the future, will go right back! Thank you so much Joy and the rest of the ladies for making me look beautiful on my wedding day!

Joy is pleasant, talented, professional, flexible and someone I'd highly recommend to work with on your wedding day. Joy handled make-up for both my mother and the groom's mother and did a fabulous job. They were more than pleased and both looked simply amazing.... actually gorgeous is a better description. I had changed the arrangements a couple different times throughout the wedding planning process and Joy was always accommodating and flexible with me. She's energetic and good person to work with and I'd highly recommend Joy to any "bride-to-be".

Joy was wonderful! The airbrushing was flawless and it lasted all night! I felt gorgeous! Joy is also very pleasant and easy to talk to. All of my bridesmaids enjoyed having her positive attitude and she helped make the day a litle less stressful. Thanks Joy and I look forward to working with you again!

Joy was terrific to work with, professional and friendly and fun, has a great sense of humor. Actually she was THE one that joked with me and helped me calm down and get centered at the beginning of the day when I started having a big stress out attack! She did all our makeup beautifully and made extra effort with each person throughout the process to make sure each was happy with how their makeup was done, after having interviewed me about my requirements as the bride. Joy's work quality is beautiful, quick and efficient. Her prices are low to midrange but the quality of service and value is outstanding. She was always very quick to respond to emails and calls, with solutions and suggestions and an easygoing attitude. We don't live in Columbus so coming into town we weren't sure of all our arrangements/where we would meet, and she was very flexible about that (where others sometimes weren't). I also noticed that Joy always looks for ways to add extra value to your experience. During our practice session days before the wedding, I mentioned I needed to get my eyebrows waxed - no you don't! was her response! She plucked painlessly and quickly and got them in shape for me, saving me the hassle of finding a salone and fitting in time to go there into my overloaded schedule. During this meeting she also proactively recommended getting a spray tan, when I agreed it was a good idea but I was overwhelmed at trying to find a place and get there, in two minutes flat she went on her Blackberry, found a nearby reputable salon, called them and booked me a convenient appointment! This is to say, Joy provides great service and goes the extra mile to add value and enhance your overall experience. I really cannot recommend her highly enough, she was one of my favorite vendors to work with and always brought a smile to my face to deal with her.

Joy did an awesome job on my wedding and truly was a "joy" to work with. I am sorry- I just had to say it. She did my whole wedding party and mother. Everyone loved the work she did. The trial really helped because I noticed what I did and didn't like and she knew exactly how to fix it!

Joy did a great job. Everyone loved their makeup, including meā€¦and I hardly ever like my makeup when I get it done.
