Five stars is not enough!! I was looking for a very natural look for my Lord of the Rings Inspired Wedding, with a touch of Ever After glitter and Old Hollywood Glam, and Jacqueline pulled the entire look off, and then some! Not only did she create an incredibly complex braid I had my heart set on, she (with her talented team of assistants) also made me, my 7 (!) other bridesmaids, and my mom, look just glorious and glowing. When, unfortunately, Covid-19 caused some last minute changes to our plans, Jacqueline and her team were so flexible and accommodating. From the trial to the last minute before the ceremony, I cannot recommend Beauty Reawakened Enough!
- Claire, Bridal Client
“Wow. Jacqueline not only made my vision come to life, she was a major support leading up to -- and on -- the wedding day. From our initial meeting, Jacqueline instantly made me feel comfortable. After only one hour, I felt like we had known each other for years!
Jacqueline was incredibly collaborative. When we weren't meeting face-to-face, we were swapping ideas on the Pinterest board she set up for me. And when I had an unexpected allergic reaction to a product, she came to the rescue and we drafted up an alternate game plan for the big day.
On the wedding day itself, Jacqueline and her team made me and my bridesmaids feel so at ease. From wiping up the tears that flowed, to putting flowers in my hair, Jacqueline rocked it all. One of her assistants even helped my bridesman tie his bow tie! And when scheduling didn't allow for a "getting ready" photo with the bridal squad, Jacqueline quickly whipped out her camera and came to the rescue. It's a perfect memory that I know my bridal party and I will cherish forever.
My day wouldn't have been so memorable and so successful without Jacqueline. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to feel calm, collected, and completely (naturally) beautiful.”
- Emily, Bridal Client
“Wow, Jacqueline is next level! I couldn’t have asked for a more expert stylist and make-up extraordinaire! Not to mention I’m so IN LOVE with her epic natural products. Seriously she’s changing the world and I’d would choose her services any day. I especially love how easy she was to talk to, and her presence during the photoshoot really made me feel valued as a client. I highly recommend her services.”
—Zahara Devi, Personal Branding Client
“I feel so empowered after our session today...I've never felt that *good* after a beauty thing. I love the concept that we don't need to change ourselves!”
- Samantha, Makeup Lesson Client
“Jacqueline (with an assistant) did makeup and hair for 7 women on our wedding day. She was a great, calm energy that was really nice to have around on what can be a hectic day. My hair and makeup looked even better than at our trial session. I loved the makeup - my sister said it looked still like me, but just extra glow-ey. The makeup also looked phenomenal in photos - my husband just told me that his coworker said I looked like a supermodel in our wedding photos!”
- Lisa, Bridal Client
"As a photographer Jacqueline is my go to woman for makeup and beauty services. Not only is she knowledgeable, and talented, she has a great way of connecting with my clients and making them feel at ease.
Everyone we've worked with together has been ecstatic about the makeup look, as well as the toxic free products Jacqueline uses. People don't have to worry about bad reactions to the products, which is a huge benefit to my health conscious client base.
I've been in this business for years now, and I'm so happy to say I've finally found someone I want to be a permanent fixture on my go to team."
- Heather, Photographer
"I was lucky enough to have Jacqueline Parker assist me with my make up before a photoshoot. Not only was she super skilled at intuitively getting just the right look for me, but she also knew exactly what was needed for the photographer. Not something I would have ever been able to do for myself. The fact that she uses conscious and natural products is a must for me, and it is not easy to find someone who will provide this for you. So if you are investing in photography be sure to also make that investment in a skilled make up professional.I would highly recommend Jacqueline for that or any other events where you want to look amazing!"
- Sandy. Personal Branding Client
"Jacqueline did a wonderful job doing the makeup on my wedding day for my bridesmaids, Mom and I. Despite having to travel over an hour, she was early and quickly set up so that she could start on time. We all have different skin colours and makeup preferences and she was able to accommodate them with creativity and great skill. We also loved the all-natural products that she used. We were impressed with our make-up results and received many compliments throughout the day. I found her to be friendly, flexible, very professional and a pleasure to deal with. As a result, I highly recommend Jacqueline and will request her for future events."
- Kathryn, Bridal Client
“ Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful to work with. I was continually out of town and was not too familiar with the beauty department aspect for weddings but she was always patient with me, and communicated through email quickly.
She used all natural products for my bridal makeup and it was fantastic! She completed my vision to a tee.
She is super easy going, friendly and professional. I felt comfortable with her and trusted her not only because of her good nature but her very experienced background. She was willing to travel to the Fraser valley and be there at any time, which was great and she made everything very easy and less stressful! Jacqueline was also patient with my bridesmaids (a huge feat!), as they all had different types of makeup looks they wanted, and different skin tones etc.
I am so happy with my decision to contact Jacqueline, and if I ever wanted to look my absolute best for some event in the future, I would contact her again!”
- Shanelle, Bridal Client
"Jacqueline was so amazing. Myself and a few friends were lucky enough to have her do our makeup from our Grad/Prom. We did a trial with her a few months before the actual event and the day of, she was very flexible and was able to accommodate the four of us even with other girls getting their make up done the same day. Her studio is incredibly cute and charming (with exposed brick which I love), with a comfortable waiting are and there were some delicious snacks the day of grad too. The makeup was outstanding! I brought a photo with me (after changing ideas on her a couple of times - sorry) that was taken off of Pinterest, and after she was done it look exactly the same, if not even better. She uses all organic products which was a plus for me because I have very sensitive skin to harsh chemicals from other makeup products. It looked amazing in photos, lasted the whole night, even with all the sweating from dancing, I got so many compliments on it and I was told I looked gorgeous - all because of Jacqueline! Honestly, she's so amazing and kind and for big days, I'll definitely be going back to her. (P.S. She does hair too!)"
- Demi, Grad Client
"Jacqueline was amazing! She spent over an hour teaching me how to use my own makeup to create a "wedding face" and then made suggestions for what other products I might want to buy. She is incredibly talented and patient, and I was so happy to be able to do my own makeup at my (destination) wedding! I would definitely recommend Jacqueline, and will hire her again in the future!"
- Leah, Bridal Makeup Lesson Client
"Jacqueline is a warm, knowledgeable, lovely, relaxed happy soul. She was very responsive to my requests, did some research beforehand to find a look that she thought I would be happy with, presented these suggestions to me and proceeded to work with me to give me the exact look that I wanted for my wedding day. She was flexible with my arrival time, understanding that my hair appointment ran a bit late, and worked on my makeup expertly, precisely and within my time frame. She was very calming for me in the midst of a hectic day ahead and I enjoyed my appointment with her. Her attention to detail is impeccable! I would recommend Jacqueline for makeup on your next special occasion without hesitation. She did a great job!"
- Jaquie, Bridal Client
"Jacqueline was amazing!....I really appreciated the advance questionnaire that gave a glimpse into my make up needs and expectations. It was comforting meeting Jacqueline, as she knew my insecurities, and what I thought as my beauty asset.
The process of transforming my features for our photo shoot was calming, professional and fun. Her smile, her creativity, and soothing presence were a welcoming bonus.
Jacqueline knows her stuff, and she only uses organic and top notch products that you want to use yourself for everyday. I would recommend Jacquelines' services to anyone who wants only the very best!"
- Kimberly, Bridal Client
"Jacqueline was great with my makeup! After a short conversation of what I was looking for, she knew exactly what look I was going for. As a vegan and natural product user, she was able to provide an amazing flawless and natural look that lasted all day. I even had a few wet kisses from a German shepherd and the makeup survived! I would highly recommend this service :)"
- Danielle. Photoshoot Client
"What a truly talented and extremely professional young lady. I have hired Jacqueline to do my makeup more than once, and will continue to use her and recommend her to everyone I know. She was flexible with my tight schedule, catered to my every need and really came through for me in a last minute situation! I am very hard to please and she continues to knock my socks off with her work. Thank you Jacqueline for not only being an incredible makeup artist, but also a wonderful business woman."
- Melisse, Talent Agent
"Jacqueline is an unbelievable make-up artist! I hired her to do my bridal make-up as well as makeup for 2 of my bridesmaids and my mum. She is professional, fun and extremely talented. During the trial run, she spent a ton of time trying new things with me until I was happy with the look. On the day of, she was up at the crack of dawn with me to do my make-up and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. I appreciated her calm manner, especially on a day that can often be so hectic. If you are looking for a make-up artist, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!"
- Bailey, Bridal Client
"It was nice opportunity for me. I had never worked with a makeup artist before. Jacqueline was so nice and she did perfect make up for me. Also I was worry about my skin sensitivity for cosmetics, but It was no problem for my skin. I really like her make up work. I would like to use Jacqueline next time I need a makeup artist!!"
- Tomo, Bridal Client
"This lady is truly amazing. Her services and attention to detail helped to land me in a spread in a magazine. Not only does she do an amazing job but she is intuitive, determined, and thinks outside the box. And.. to top it all off, she is a gem!"
- Shylo Sharity, Singer
"Jacqueline provided hair and makeup for a studio photo shoot, she was a photographer's dream makeup artist to work with! She was on time, friendly, and professional as she put several looks for my model throughout the day, all of which were stunning."
- Jennifer, Photographer
"Jacqueline Parker is always my first call when I need a makeup artist. She delivers amazing results and she is not only better than most makeup artists she is is also one of the fastest at the craft. I have used her for beauty makeup, special effects, and natural looking makeup, and she always does an outstanding job. Jacqueline Parker is a pro makeup artist, I highly recommend her work."
- Joel McCarthy, Director & Film Maker
“Jacqueline did my makeup for my wedding and not only was she extremely professional she was absolutely lovely and all my guests loved her. Her calm presence was a nice break amidst the pre-wedding anxiety.
My makeup held through the wedding and into my reception. I would recommend her to everyone!”
- Claudia, Bridal Client
“My niece and maid-of-honour just had their make up consultation with Jacqueline and were so impressed with this beauty service. Jacqueline has a beautiful make up studio that accommodated a group of us, and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Jacqueline's expertise and creativeness offered the perfect natural look for each woman. The bride has sensitive skin and Jacqueline was able to offer her with an organic make up option. The bride was thrilled with her make up and excited for her wedding day look. Thank you Jacqueline for taking the time with us. We had fun too.”
- Anne, Bridal Client
“I was so lucky to have Jacqueline do wedding hair and make-up for me and my bridesmaids. She asked lots of questions up front to get to know me and customize the look appropriately. She was very responsive to feedback and was able to make revisions after the trial to ensure I was happy with the final results. Jacqueline is talented, professional and her easy-going nature and warm personality were so appreciated on the morning of the big day.”
- Jillian, Bridal Client
“Jacqueline was wonderful to work with! She did the hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding and did an amazing job. She is very talented and knowledgeable. She made each of us feel beautiful inside and out! :) Time spent in her studio is so relaxing - it was a privilege to work with her. I would absolutely recommend!”
- Sonja, Bridal Client
“Jaqueline's warmth and friendliness immediately put me at ease when she did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She is still my go-to for an elegant yet natural makeup look and her one-to-one consultation taught me how to apply some styles myself. The Elate Cosmetics they carry have not triggered my psoriasis on the many occasions I've used it, for which I am most grateful.”
- Nicole, Bridal Client
“Having Jacqueline do my wedding makeup and hair was purely and truly wonderful. I got married in March, 2017 in Vancouver, B.C. and Jacqueline was a huge part of my enjoyment of my whole wedding experience. Not only did she make me look stunning (oh can I say that without sounding arrogant?!), more importantly, she made me feel calm and centered and cared for during the biggest day in my life. Jacqueline is an extremely talented make-up and hair artist. She was able to create exactly what I had envisioned for my look. Beyond that, she had excellent interpersonal skills and a light-hearted, kind way of being that makes you feel great. Choose Beauty Reawakened!!!”
- Nicole, Bridal Client
“Jacqueline, the owner of Beauty Reawakened, has been my Natural Beauty Guru for several years. Her business changed my life, and opened my eyes to a more natural way of living. She offers extensive knowledge about Toxin Free Makeup, and consistently recommends products that preform. Her creativity mixed with her professionalism have always left me feeling confident with my makeup. Along with being a talented makeup artist, Jacqueline is a beautiful person inside and out who creates a comfortable and light-hearted environment. I would recommend 10/10 for any of her services!”
- Jasmin,
“I am really happy that I chose Jacqueline to do my make up for my wedding last weekend. She is positive, friendly, and comfortable to work with - she was professional, arrived on time and finished ahead of schedule. I love that she uses all natural products, they felt light and natural on my face. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of make up I was really surprised that I didn't feel it or notice it on my face. The make up lasted the whole day - I looked the same at midnight as I did at noon! It photographed well, but didn't look heavy on my face in person. Jacqueline was open to feedback, checked in the day before with some last minute tips to prep for the big day, and provided a touch up kit with some extras (bobby pins, blotting paper, etc). Really thoughtful from the moment we met until she left that day. Overall, I am really impressed! I will for sure use Jacqueline's services again the next time I need my make up done! Thanks again.”
- Rachel, Bridal Client
“Getting my makeup done by Jacqueline was just lovely. She's very talented and was able to create the perfect natural look. I had concerns because I have very sensitive skin but none of the products that she used irritated it at all. Would highly recommend.”
- Rachelle, Bridal Client
“I love Beauty Reawakened and the woman who runs it! They're passionate, so friendly and have the best products you can access in all of Vancouver and in some cases, Canada. I know the owner truly cares and does a lot of research to bring in the very best, natural and organic products that support real beauty and graceful aging :) For all things self-care related - go here!”
- Sheleana, Rising Woman
“I hired Jacqueline to do my hair and make up for my wedding back in May. She was great to deal with from the first email and I would totally recommend her!
I waited until about a month before the wedding to decide that I wanted a hair and makeup artist, and luckily Jacqueline was able to accommodate a last minute trial, and hair and makeup for my mom and me on my wedding day.
I showed up totally unprepared for the trial and Jacqueline was patient and talked to me about different ways of doing hair and makeup. She rocked the hair on the first try, but I wasn't thrilled about the makeup. Jacqueline was not put off; instead she worked with me to try a few different things until I was 100% happy with the result.
I threw another curve ball at her a few days before the wedding by adding my grandmother's hair to her list of tasks. She was accommodating again and we just pushed the start time 30 minutes.
On the day of the wedding, we set her up at my mom's house near a noisy kitchen with my two brothers cooking and goofing around and despite the chaos, she was fantastic. The process went really smoothly and I was really impressed with the final result.
Like I said above, I would definitely recommend her to any future brides and would work with her again!”
- Deborah, Bridal Client
“Jac and her team were amazing! They made myself and my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning and true to our own unique styles. She was was prompt and stuck to a great schedule so we were never running behind. I was so thankful to find someone who was accommodating and talented.”
- Jennifer, Bridal Client
“My experiences with Jacqueline have been nothing short of awesome. Not only is she a ton of fun, she's so freaking good at what she does. I've worked with Jac a number of times - both as a creative director on shoots and as a client and I cannot recommend her enough. Working with her is always a blast and she knocks it out of the park for my clients every time. As a client, she makes me feel (and look) like a bajillion dollars and has helped me transition my entire make up bag over to all natural products that I (and my skin) are in LOVE with.”
- Azalea
“Jaqueline is one of the most knowledgeable and talented stylist I know! I first met her in 2015 when she did my hair and make-up for a professional photoshoot and quickly saw her warmness and passion for natural beauty as she holds these values to close to her. Jacqueline openly shares her vast knowledge, stays current with products, and knows what make up and products will make me look so darn good!
I continue to be impressed with how she treats everyone like a dear friend! Jaqueline will always be my first point of contact for all things beauty, even when living in a different city! Thank you for the work for you do and continuing to share your passion with the world, you truly do inspire me!”
- Trina, Photoshoot Client
“Jacqueline was wonderful to work with! I love my makeup and felt fresh and natural.”
