Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Emily DiSanti Beauty is LGBTQ+-owned. Her approach is about enhancing natural features and helping each client feel comfortable, which fits partners of any gender who want makeup that looks like them and not like a costume. That attitude suits couples who want a calm start to the day.

What she offers

• Bridal makeup with an emphasis on natural features and skin
• On-site bridal trials
• Makeup for members of the wedding party
• Guidance drawn from experience in the bridal industry

How to prepare

Book a trial well ahead of the wedding. Bring photographs of looks you like and, just as useful, looks you do not. If you will wear a particular outfit, bring a picture or swatch so tones can be matched. Tell the artist about any skin sensitivities or products you avoid, and ask how long each person in your group will need so the morning schedule works.

Photographs and lighting can change how makeup reads, so mention whether your ceremony is outdoors, indoors or at night. Ask what the artist carries for touch-ups.

Where she works

Emily is based in Ridgewood and works in New York City. Ask about travel if your wedding is farther out.
