I come highly recommended!
"I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful make up and hair you gave me during my photo shoot with Jeff [Mosier].
My last two sessions before Jeff were a little traumatizing and I felt like the stylist just didn't get me. Your gentle hand and intuition led to a make-up that looks like me on my very best day. And I can't thank you enough. My agent and managers love the shots and I am so proud to send them out into the world. I so, so appreciate it and can't wait to recommend your services to anyone who asks!" --Meghan Jones, actor, April 2015 "Fantastic fantastic fantastic amazing fantastic !!

"Makeup artist Jody Formica never had a nano-second-using sponsor cosmetics to get gals all glammy. Taking about 30-40 minutes per-we were so impressed how each subtle dab of something-yielded results…whether making blue eyes bluer---or sculpting cheekbones on those with kinda flat faces."

"I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much I am liking the colors you put together for me. You are talented, and I appreciated you listening so well to what I was hoping to create--a very simple, fresh, bright, and easy-to-apply daily look. Now, I get very excited to put on my makeup in the mornings because the colors you gave me make my outside feel more aligned with my inside. And that just feels right!"

"Jody was recommended by a mutual friend who had worked with her before and I hired her to do my make-up for a business photo shoot. All the way from our first contact until the day of appointment, she was very professional and reliable. In fact, she went out of her way to help me find a photographer and then took the time to make me look my best self, carefully considering the purpose of my shoot and accentuating my natural features. She did a beautiful job! My make-up lasted the whole day and I am thrilled with the result captured on camera. I warmly recommend Jody for anyone who is looking for a gifted make-up professional."
-Martina Mangelsdorf, Founder & Managing Director of Gaia Insights, November 2012
"A huge thank you for all of your help on Sunday. Your makeup was extraordinary. I have never had better makeup applied, ever. It not only looked amazing, but it lasted the entire night, even after dancing for an hour and a half and sweated on the dance floor, I still looked great. You truly are an artist in every sense of the word. I have every intention of having you do my makeup many times over in the future. I also need to thank you for going above and beyond for me on Sunday. From helping my sister-in-law to zipping up my mother, were an extraordinary help to all of us."
-Kira Senders, bride August 2012
"I have hired Jody for a wide variety of projects and am always impressed by her professionalism and beautiful make-up work. She worked with me on an indie film, an award-winning webseries where she handled makeup for a cast of 9 women by herself, a client testimonial video for one of New York's top DJs, as well as full body makeup for a publicity shoot for a rock musical. On a personal note, she did my make-up for my wedding (as well as my bridesmaids and family) and we all looked beautiful and felt confident -- and we looked wonderful both on the day of and in the photos. She can handle any challenge, from beauty makeup to special effects, and any face from young to old. She listens closely to a client's needs and creates flawless looks with her creativity and attention to detail. "
-Uma Incrocci, writer, actor, bride, June 2012

"Jody is an amazingly talented make up artist. She is detail oriented, professional, and passionate about her work. I witnessed Jody's work at two weddings, then again on the set of a web series I directed. In all cases Jody took great care of her subjects, she was always on time and she was always ready to go. On set she was right there to touch up the actors between takes. All the actors adored her, too. Jody would be an asset to any project or event.”
-Erica Jensen, writer, director & casting associate, 2010

I have seen her bridal make-up and it brings out the best of the bride and her party-- in fact, I've hired her to do my wedding!"
-Uma Incrocci, actor & writer, 2010
