Allison Pynn. This woman is talent. I like to call her a ninja of all trades. She applied individual lashes in .2 seconds, never allowed me to look shiny under the lights and had everything from her brushes to fashion tape in her makeup belt. She got it, every aspect of what could possibly be needed. It’s nice to work with people who really care and understand.

Allison is the best in the business. Having been on TV for more than 15 years as a TV reporter and anchor, I've worked with many makeup artists. Today as a publicist I rely on Allison to make all my clients look their best before a TV news interview or major speaking engagement. For the most magical day of my life, my wedding day, I wouldn't dream of trusting anyone else with my hair and makeup than Allison Pynn. She's the best kept secret... that is, for now. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. This rating scale only goes up to five. She's professional, yet personable, an absolute joy to work with and every person she touches not only looks like a million bucks... but Allison makes you FEEL like a million bucks!

Allison Pynn is the most professional, diverse and hard working make up artist I have worked with. If I show her an image, she can create it. Her broad spectrum of looks for hair and makeup are mind blowing. On set she is completely tuned into to every detail. She doesn't sit around on her cell phone, she jumps in and helps the shoot in any way possible. Her work ethic, talent, and willingness to assist, differentiate her from any other artist. Allison is an asset, and my preferred makeup artist.

Choosing Allison to do my makeup and hair for my wedding was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Allison did an amazing job. I felt beyond beautiful and people would not stop complimenting me and saying how gorgeous I looked. I wish I could get married again just so Allison could make me look that beautiful again! Looking that great was one of the best parts of the wedding. Allison always responded to my phone calls and e-mails and was punctual each time she came. Having her come over made the whole "getting ready" time easy and stress-free! She also did my maid of honor's makeup - Allison made her look even more beautiful than she already is the first time she met her. My makeup and hair stayed on the whole night. Allison also gave me a pot of lip gloss in case I needed a touch up. She is talented, professional, very easy to work with, and extremely friendly. I don't know what more I can say, except that I would recommend Allison to all brides who want to look amazing on their special day.

I LOVE Allison! She has an amazing talent for makeup. It was absolutely stress-free. I felt confident that she would make me look my best without looking overdone! And she did! I felt I was so lucky to get her. My hair and make up were PERFECT. Not to mention that I didn't even require any touch-ups through the night. I can't tell you how many people have asked me who did my make-up that day! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that wants to look unbelievable on their wedding day. (I'm pretty sure that's everyone!)

She is incredibly easy to be around and makes you feel completely comfortable. She listens carefully to what kind of look you want and works magic with BOTH hair AND makeup! I would HIGHLY recommend Allison to anyone (and I already have)!
