“Brittany Gray is fast, efficient and most importantly great! I love how I looked when Brittany did my makeup for a speaking event in Toronto and felt like a million bucks walking on to the stage.”

“Thanks so much for your great work on Sunday at the Easter Seals Telethon…not only did you make me look my absolute best (I got so many compliments!) but you were just a joy to spend time with. Brittany – I wish you great success in every facet of your career and just wanted to thank you again for your amazing work, your lovely demeanor and for putting me on to Eve Pearl products!”
“Brittany was recommended to me by a friend who saw her work at another friends wedding. Since Brittany and I grew up in the same town I thought I should give her a try. I had a makeup trial with Brittany a few months before my wedding and loved how flawless she made me look. On my wedding day in October, Nina and Tahlia from the Fancy Face team did the makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mom and two aunts. We were on a tight timeline but the Fancy Face team did an amazing job having us finished ahead of schedule while still looking fabulous. My makeup lasted all day and all night and never once could you tell I was crying like baby! Thank you Nina and Tahlia for an amazing job on the wedding day and to Brittany for a wonderful trial and making the whole process a breeze.”

“I met Brittany for the first time during a trial for my wedding in October and absolutely loved her right away. As I was having two different ceremonies and wearing two different outfits my makeup had to suit my clothes and last me the entire night. Brittany listened to my ideas and made some great suggestions. She was knowledgable, professional and extremely accomadating. For my actual wedding, Brittany advised that I worked with Irene. Irene was incredible! She did the makeup for my entire bridal party and we all loved it. She made each of us feel beautiful. My mother who has vitiligo was uncomfortable wearing makeup but Irene did a perfect job of masking her skin issues. We were all absolutely thrilled. I later worked with Brittany for a wedding photo shoot and loved the way the makeup turn out! The pictures look beautiful and even my husband commented on what a great job she had done.
Working with Brittany and Irene was a wonderful experience and I can’t thank them enough for making sure my wedding day had one less thing to be stressed about. Thank you both!”

“Brittany and her Fancy Face team did such an amazing job on my wedding October 15, 2011. She was recommended to me by my sister in law who got married a year ago. Thank you for making me and my girls look and feel beautiful on the most important day of my life. Both makeup and hair were stunning! I would highly recommed Brittany and her Fancy Face team for your wedding or any special event; they did such an amazing job!”

“My wedding was August 2010. My make up artist cancelled on me 2 weeks before my wedding. I don’t remember how I found Brittany, but I could not be happier that I did. Brittany Gray did an amazing job on my make up, along with my sister, mother and best friend! She listens to what you want and really knows what shes doing!!! Since August 2010, I have had Brittany do my make up 4 more times, and I plan on using her from now on! Brittany, Thank you so much for everything!!! I am really looking forward to the next 2 weddings I already have booked with you! Keep it up!!!!!”
Michelle Gordon
“I just wanted to say thank you for your work on my wedding day. I was searching for a make-up artist for weeks when my cousin suggested I look into Fancy Face. I checked out your site and viewed some of your tutorials. I was really impressed with how you put a look together and my instinct told me that you were the one to help me put my best face forward for the wedding.
You are a true professional Brittany in every way. From your consultations, to the products you use, you gave me look that was custom and right for me. Thank you for making me look and feel so beautiful on a day that I would remember for a lifetime.”
Kind regards,
Sabrina Sarcia
“I knew what I was looking for….good, quality make-up that did not irritate my skin and would not only achieve a natural look but that would accentuate my features, suited my skin tone and did not feel heavy or “cakey”. I don’t wear a lot of makeup day to day so for my wedding day I wanted a look that said, “this is who I am and I am radiant!” It was also important that my make-up last all day, especially for photos. Then I found Brittany. She was actually referred to me by my wedding gown consultant. I did not know what to expect at first, and I was surprised to see that she had her own studio in her house! But we seemed to click right away and I felt like I was at home. She only had to do one look at my trial and it was perfect! It was just what I was looking for. What was even better and more convenient is that Fancy Face is a full service studio! And sure enough, I was also looking for a hairstylist that could come to the house, so when she recommended one of the stylists, I was delighted! The trial went smoothly and again, I knew what kind of a style I wanted and Emily achieved it! The girls were on time on the wedding day and very organized and professional. It was such a relaxing morning as they were beautifying me for the day! My mother and friend (Bridesmaid) were also satisfied and happy with the results.
Thank you Fancy Face for the joyful experience that you gave to us!”

I had Brittany Gray as my make up artist for my wedding, and it was one of the best decisions I made that day! ! ! I have known Brittany since high school, and after finding out she did make up for weddings I was crossing my fingers she was available on my date! Luckily she was! I found Brittany an absolute pleasure to deal with, both in the make up trial before the wedding and on the day. She was a very calming presence on the morning of the wedding, which can be a stressful time for any bride! She did the make up for my six bridesmaids, my mother, as well as my own make up and had us all ready in plenty of time! All of the girls were beyond happy with her work, so much so, that a couple girls who are getting married soon, want Brittany to do their wedding as well! She did an outstanding job at making us look perfect! We all got so many complements the day of the wedding about our make up. All the guests, and groomsmen, said the make up was beautifully done and only enhanced our beauty, not covered it up. Our make up looked absolutely fantastic in the photos and that is all thanks to Brittany’s expertise and experience. I would highly recommend Brittany to any bride-to-be or anyone looking to have their make up done professionally for any occasion.”
Sarah Wyce -Bride
“I had heard about Fancy Face through a friend that strongly recommended using Brittany Gray as the makeup artist for my wedding. I was so pleased with her work and that she was able to accommodate all 6 of my bridesmaids, my mother and myself, and for a reasonable price. She was very friendly as well as professional and made excellent suggestions about what style of make up would suite everyone for the big day. All my bridesmaids said how much they loved their make up and would definitely use her again if ever needed. I would recommend Brittany to anyone in search of a makeup artist! She helped make our wedding the best day of our lives!”

Wedding – July 16th, 2011
“I had the pleasure of working with Brittany on a couple of occasions, including my wedding day. Brittany Gray is truly an artist. Her makeup application is a piece of artwork that lives on in our wedding photos. For years to come, I will be able to look back and admire Brittany’s makeup job and how it made me feel on the most important day of my life.
When looking for a makeup artist, I was looking for someone that could help me enjoy my day and also do a fantastic job for my bridal party and I. Brittany fit in like she was part of the family and worked extremely well with all the different personalities and styles; everyone was thrilled with their makeup.
Brittany not only did a fantastic job with makeup, but she was so much fun to have around on my big day, and made us all feel so calm.
For any bride that wants to look nothing less than perfect on her wedding day, or any other special day, my recommendation is to book Brittany right away, you’ll be happy you did!”

“Brittany did a fantastic job with the make up for my entire bridal party; she is a pleasure to work with. Brittany has an amazing talent at bringing out the natural features of each individual, and working with each person to create a look that suits them best.
The quality of Brittany’s work was obvious to me when at the end of the day, my make up still looked amazing… and I got married outside on the hottest day of the summer! It was truly impressive.
Thanks again Brittany!”
