"I've known Lisa my entire life and from when we were children she
absolutely loved make-up. Her choice and style of cosmetics is 'slightly' more sophisticated now; she does phenomenal work. She takes everyone's personal style to heart and has a passion and gift for accentuating the beauty in everyone."

“I had the pleasure of hiring Lisa to apply my make-up for my wedding day. As all brides know, the day of your wedding is very stressful. However, with Lisa's skills and personality I was convinced I was going to look beautiful. The end result was I looked timeless and classic. I have Lisa to thank for her skills of perfection.”

"Lisa did a fantastic job on my makeup the day of my wedding. From the pre-wedding consultation to my wedding day, she did everything possible to make me feel comfortable. She explained in detail what she was doing and made sure I was happy with it all. She is an enthusiast about what she does and it was a joy to have her there to help me get ready on my wedding day."

Lisa is a total professional and I felt completely comfortable and confident having her handle my make-up on my wedding day. She has a large array of make-up to choose from and is very knowledgeable about which colors and applications work best for you. I also appreciated that she listened to what I wanted, and gave her advice and expertise on how I could look my best. I received numerous compliments about my make-up that day and I owe it all to Lisa! I would recommend her to any bride.

Lisa did such a nice job with Kristina’s make-up. She looked so nice; the wedding was beautiful.

As every bride looks forward to her wedding day, my day had become even more special to us and our family and friends due to my husband surviving a brain aneurysm a year prior. It was so joyous for all of us to turn such a traumatic experience into a beautiful time of year. We had gone through a substantial amount of emotional and financial stress due to the lack of health insurance when the incident occurred. As we all know, weddings are a huge expense. Lisa Butera, a long time acquaintance now friend offered her services at no charge out of her thoughtfulness and sensitivity to our situation. I had a fun day at the consultation and learned all kinds of fun and helpful make-up tips. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa Butera contributed to my wonderful wedding day. As my make-up artist, she not only did my makeup, but also all of my bridal party, including my mother and grandmother. Before the big day, Lisa worked with me to get my makeup just right. I do not wear make-up on a daily basis and did not want to look all done up. Lisa tried several different looks until I felt completely comfortable and looked very natural. My bridesmaids were also very happy with Lisa's work. Along with being very professional, Lisa's fun personality eased the stress of "getting ready" to walk down the aisle. If you are looking for an experienced and fun makeup artist I strongly recommend Lisa Butera for your big day!

"I felt so glamorous after Lisa had done my make-up; I felt like I had just come off Newbury Street! I wish I could have that look every weekend. She took care and time to create a look that fit my personality. Now, as a bride-to-be, I wouldn’t consider having anyone else do my make-up for my special day.

"Lisa did an excellent job on my wedding day! She was incredibly helpful throughout the day. She made sure I looked my best and stayed until I left for the church. One of my friends attending the wedding was so impressed with Lisa’ work, that she had Lisa do her make-up as well. I couldn't have been happier with Lisa's work, she did an amazing job!"

Gloria Stohl, Bride



"Lisa's detailed and accurate instruction is not only easy to understand, but easy to follow. Her knowledge and expertise really shines through!"

Michele Poto, Arbonne Consultant

 

"Personally, I have never been a big fan of make-up, but I can count on Lisa to make me over without making me look over done. For those special occasions where I want to look my best, I trust Lisa to do a wonderful job of making me look and feel great! I highly recommend Lisa Butera."

Tina Gilson, Client



"Lisa is a true professional through and through. She took her time to make sure I was happy with the process as well as the end result. Lisa also had great recommendations of what products to purchase to ensure my make-up would last throughout the day. I would use her again in a heartbeat!"

Marci Slovin, Bride

 

"I was so happy to have met Lisa. We both had family members sharing the same nursing home and we had become friendly through regular visits. I told her I was getting married, and she mentioned she was a make-up artist and offered me her business card. I waited until all the wedding plans were complete to even start to think about my makeup! A few weeks before the wedding I called Lisa to see if she was available and if we still had time to do a trial run prior to the wedding. She was more than accommodating!
She came to my house so we could come up with a look I was comfortable with before the big day. She did exactly as I wanted along with offering me her experienced advice. She knew exactly the look I wanted. On the day of the wedding she traveled almost 30 miles. It was one less thing for me to think about. I got so many compliments on my makeup that day. It looked so natural, yet elegant and photographed beautifully. Working with Lisa was such a professional experience. I can't say enough about her and what an important part of my day she was. Not only is she a professional, but a kind and genuine person."

Thank you!
Kristina Fossa, Bride

I am the type of person who does not wear make-up all that often and when I do, it’s very subtle. On the day of my sister’s wedding, Lisa applied my make-up to accommodate my personal sense of style – fresh and natural. I was very happy with the end result; even with make-up on, I still felt like myself.
