Painted Daisy Aesthetic - Rockford, Illinois

I am a local photographer and have used Julie as a makeup artist for several of my sessions (boudoir in particular.) I love using Julie for these sessions because from the moment you enter the space, she exudes professionalism and makes my clients feel instantly comfortable. Julie listens attentively to every client’s vision and brings it to life flawlessly. She works diligently, uses clean products, and asks all of the right questions to ensure a flawless end result.

Julie’s attention to detail in her work is always impressive, and I can, without a doubt, count on her to skillfully enhance every client’s features without making it feel or look overdone. Everyone is always glowing and raves about the work she does!

Everyone who works with Julie, leaves her chair feeling empowered and more confident than ever before which is crucial in boudoir.
I cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking to have their boudoir makeup done or makeup for any special life event (weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, professional photos, etc.) - she truly is a gem and you will not be disappointed!

I’ve been a client of Julie’s for about a year now and seeing her is always such a treat! I’ve had facial treatments, back treatments, and have gotten a brow lift, tint, and wax! No matter what service you choose, Julie will tailor the experience to whatever your skin needs!

There are very few people I trust with my skin, and I can easily say that Julie is one of the very best. Julie is without a doubt the most knowledgeable, professional, and kind esthetician in Rockford and the surrounding areas. I know that every time I see her, I leave each visit with more knowledge and understanding about my skin and what it needs.

You can expect a variety of high-quality products, wonderful techniques, hospitality, and a tranquil, beautiful space. I can always count on Julie to help my skin feel refreshed, radiant, and truly revitalized.

I highly recommend Julie to anyone seeking an indulgent and effective skincare experience. Her passion, skill, and attention to detail shine through, providing a truly personalized and unforgettable service. I am already looking forward to seeing her again soon!

I've been working with Painted Daisy Aesthetic personally and professionally for years. I first started seeing Julie for a brow tint and wax. Every time she has touched my brows it has been pain-free and they look incredible for weeks and weeks. I was immediately hooked by the quality of her work and her calming, and personable demeanor.

This led me to book makeup sessions with her - she even did my wedding makeup. I looked like a glam version of myself, not like how some makeup artists cake it on. It was perfect. She listened to the product types that I like to use and customized them for my needs.

In my professional life I have been a production manager for video sets. I've used many makeup artists on set but Julie, yet again, outshone all of them. She made the talent feel at-ease and the makeup was perfect - especially under all of the harsh lighting.

Most recently I was having a major blemish outbreak. I booked a facial for the first time with Julie. She had been great for all of the other services that I've tried, I was sure that the facial would be life changing. And it was. Her space is relaxing, she puts you at ease. She took the time to talk through the science of skincare and why my skin was freaking out. Julie gave me a sustainable routine that fit within my daily schedule and utilized some products that I already had at home. After the facial I felt euphoric. I've never had a facial that was that relaxing! And the best part - my skin has transformed from blemish-ridden to clear and glassy.

I look forward to booking Painted Daisy Aesthetic for many, many years to come!

Julie is one of the sweetest, most helpful, and talented aestheticians in Rockford. I have been a client of Julie's since 2018, where she helped me with skincare and choosing the right makeup for my skin. When I have had skin issues, she is the first person I call because she knows my skin so well. I not only tell my friends to go to her but all of my brides who I photograph as well. Each client of mine has walked away not only happy with their makeup but happy in their heart because Julie pours so much love into her clients. You can tell she loves her job and that this was something she was born to do.

Truly the best makeup artist and aesthetician a human could have!

Oh man, I wish I lived closer just so my face could feel so great every week. Got a facial, eyebrows, and lashes done and not only was it so very relaxing but I couldn’t stop touching my cheeks (I know, I know I’m not supposed to) but I couldn’t help myself. Julie is a knowledgeable and a calming presence. I’ve already purchased experiences as gifts. Cannot wait to return. 💙
