LOVED BY REAL BRIDES ❤︎
Taylor B, Columbus Ohio“As a June 2026 bride, I can't recommend Shy enough! She was truly the best to work with and helped me feel my absolute best leading up to and on my wedding day. She did my spray tan, facial/dermaplane, and wedding makeup, and every experience was amazing. She listened carefully to any changes I wanted after my makeup trial and created a look that made me feel beautiful while still feeling like myself, just enhanced. My makeup was exactly what I envisioned, and I felt confident and radiant on my wedding day.”
Brittany T, Nelsonville Ohio“I could not say anything but amazing things about Shy. Her makeup was stunning on all of us. By the end of night none of us wanted to take it off because we loved it. The day had a downpour of rainfall. My wedding pictures were done in the rain and my makeup looked untouched. UNTOUCHED..”
Angie, Columbus Ohio“She truly made my wedding day, which was already a huge deal, even more magical. Her approach is just next-level thoughtful and precise. It's not just about her incredible skill with brushes and palettes; she genuinely invests in understanding your personal vision”
Luella B, Columbus Ohio“She takes sheer joy in her work and it shows. My makeup was absolutely flawless. I can’t express enough how much it meant to me to have her make me feel flawless on my special day.”
Kelley W, Dennison Ohio“If you are looking for a professional to make everyone feel their absolute best you need to book with Shy”
Morgan M, Sunbury Ohio“Shy is the best!! She was our makeup artist for my wedding and everyone looked stunning!!”
Kim M, Lewis Center Ohio“I was impressed with her knowledge, passion for makeup, and professional skills. She did an amazing job and I was very pleased with the results. I felt like she really listened to the look I was hoping to achieve. I felt confident and beautiful for the first time in a very long while.”
Katie E, Mount Gilead Ohio“She arrived right on time, made the experience so personable and fun and really valued our wants/visions when it came to our look that day. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for an artist that’s affordable, professional, personable and truly knows what she’s doing!.”
Erica T, Marengo Ohio“From our first conversation, Shy was responsive, personable, and so easy to work with. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered just that—my spray tan and makeup looked flawless and I felt like the best version of myself”
Allison S, Columbus Ohio“Shy did my bridal makeup, and it was even better than I could have envisioned. I had two trials with her to decide what I wanted, and it turned out absolutely perfect on my wedding day”
Maria T, Columbus Ohio“The quality of their work was truly beautiful, precise, and attentive. I received so many compliments on my look, which was very natural and elegant, not over the top. Bridal By The Shy Effect was instrumental in helping me look and feel my best on my special day. I highly recommend their services to any bride-to-be.”
Olivia G, Crestline Ohio“I had booked with Shy for my wedding and I think it was the best decision ever. Shy was so sweet and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She is also SO easy to relate and talk to, and as a nervous bride that made me feel even better. Will always go to her for any MUA needs, and will always recommend her”
Mackenzie R, Port Clinton Ohio“Shy was so wonderful to our whole group! Not only did we end up having 2 extra ladies ask to get their makeup done, but she accommodated ALL of our makeup wants and needs (we had a large range of complexions too) on time. I had a tear-filled reception and was sweating buckets out on the dance floor all night but looking at my makeup, you'd have had no idea! If you are looking for someone who can adapt to anything, fit in with a fun (and a tad chaotic) group of ladies, and who is incredibly talented, I highly recommend you go with Shy.”
Madison S, Fredicktown Ohio“Shy is so sweet and friendly! I booked bridal makeup and flower girl makeup. She knows what works well with different skin tones, has a variety of products to try, and talked to me about my full wedding vision to get an understanding of what vibe I wanted for the makeup. I was so thankful for this because I’m not a makeup girl and wasn’t sure what I wanted/needed.”
Chelsea S, Columbus Ohio“Shy is the best! I found her randomly and kind of last minute to do my wedding makeup, and she was so friendly and easy to work with. She made the whole process seamless and my makeup looked so beautiful!! She was on time (I started getting ready at 7am because it was a brunch wedding, so I was anxious about start time) but she made everything easy and I am so thankful for her! I scheduled a facial for after the wedding with her because she was so great!”
Carrie D, Gahanna Ohio“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shy! She made me feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day — but still like myself, which was so important to me. She listened to exactly what I wanted, gave expert suggestions, and made the whole experience calm, fun, and flawless (literally!). My makeup lasted all day and night — through happy tears, dancing, and hugs — and still looked perfect in every photo. I couldn’t have asked for a better artist to be part of such a special day. I highly, highly recommend her!”
