Blush Beauty Room

Hi, I’m Catherine and I’m addicted to eyelash extensions. I’ve been all over the Twin Cities in search of the perfect set that looks natural and has longevity and after last week’s appointment will look no further than Jorie at Blush.
Typically my lashes tend to fall completely out after 2 weeks — I think because I’m a contact wearer and have to mess with my eyes more than normal. Jorie swore hers would last 3, and so far they’re proving to!
Appointments were 2 weeks out when I tried to book my first appointment, so I make a point to schedule my next appointment way in advance now.
Besides the quality of her work, I had a lovely time chatting with Jorie. Such an interesting and warm person! I’m glad to have found her!

Jori and Kelly did my and my bridesmaid’s makeup for my wedding. They did a phenomenal job! We had to get 6 girls done in only two hours and they ended ahead of schedule. The make up looked amazing, even after 10 hours of being outside, dancing, sweating and crying. They also were able to travel to my house the morning of the wedding which made the day so easy. I highly highly recommend them for weddings or any special events. or just for fun!

Amazing.
I’ll be honest, I never had my make-​up professionally done before, but WOW — this place was awesome. Decided to make this appointment for my engagement photo shoot that was last night, and am so happy I went here! Super chill atmosphere — my artist was not rushed or frenzied whatsoever. She made the few tweaks I asked for at the end, and had awesome suggestions throughout the appointment. I had found a photo of a smokey bronzed eye, which was the look I was going for, and my artist chick nailed it. Thanks Blush!

This is THE place to go for makeup. I had my makeup done for my engagement photos and couldn’t be more pleased. My appointment started late (2:10ish as opposed to the 2 PM appointment time), but it wasn’t even a big deal. It took them about 30 minutes and that was with eyelashes. Seriously perfect. My makeup looked gorge and my fiancé and photographer loved it (of course I did as well!). They are so cheap too! $ 40 before tax and tip ($ 10 for lashes & $ 30 for the makeup application) which is way cheaper than anyone else I know of. I got my makeup done at Aveda for a friends wedding and it was twice the price plus my fake eyelashes started falling out the same day. Not with Blush. the makeup is lasting beautifully and no eyelashes falling out. I will also be going back to buy the jewelry from there (SO awesome!). If I have my wedding in MN I am going to come here for makeup. Highly recommended!!! And I am super picky so you know it’s good. ;))

I have attempted to purchase beauty products from this store twice now. The first time, they were unfortunately out of stock on all the bare minerals products I use. I was headed out on a trip so I needed the items that day.
I attempted again to visit Blush, however, I found the store closed 20 minutes earlier than posted (I admit that Google Maps has flaws, but this time it was right). The entrance door also clearly posted 7 pm as their closing time, as does the stores voicemail message.
I’m sure the people & products (when available) are great, but this store has proven to be too inconvenient to purchase my beauty products.

These two ladies are rock star artists!!! For an unbelievable make up experience– they carry some of the best brands in the industry and their wealth of knowledge is spectacular. If you want to look fab for that evening out on the town– look no further than Blush Beauty Room. You will be sooooooooooo happy you did.

The girls at Blush did my make-​up for my wedding. After a very very bad experience at my test run at a different place I was super apprehensive. They were amazing! My make-​up looked perfect in all of my pictures. They are the best! They listened to all my concerns and did exactly what I wanted. It was perfect! They also did my mom’s make-​up — we were both thrilled!!! Love love love this place!!!

Need to look your best for an event without spending a fortune? Come here. Need real-​talk makeup advice from women just as likely to recommend $ 3 eyeliner as they are top-​of-​the-​line foundation? You’ve found your place. Need a pair of earrings to finish your look? Yeah, they have those too. Basically, just visit Blush as soon as possible.
I came to Blush to have my makeup done before a friend’s wedding (you know… treat yoself) because it came recommended by a hair stylist friend of mine, and because their makeup application is priced at $ 30 for 30 minutes ($ 10 more for eyelash application), which is much lower than other places like Juut or M.A.C. The space itself is really welcoming, with lots of natural light, comfy furniture, and magazines (and complimentary chocolates!) to peruse on the coffee table. Blush is run by two female veterans of Bare Escentuals who ventured out on their own — oh hey, girl power — these ladies know the makeup business well, and it shows.
As a makeup novice (seriously…I do mine in less than 5 minutes, with the same products I’ve been using since high school), I was preparing myself for a condescending attitude and being pressured to purchase expensive stuff I wouldn’t even remember how to use. I was so wrong! There was absolutely no sales pressure; only explanations of which products were being used and why. I was really impressed by the business philosophy — during the application, I asked what kind of eyeliner was being used. The response? «e.l.f. You know, the stuff you can get at Target for $ 3». Used right alongside Bare Minerals products and other brands that cost significantly more. Their justification? Invest in products that are worth it, like a good foundation and long-​wearing lipstick, and save those $$ on things that you’re going to have fun and play around with, only to wipe it off and start over again.
I left feeling like I’d gotten my money’s worth, and then some. I was made up but not overly so, and I got so many compliments on my look. I plan to return soon for a skin care tutorial and to purchase additional products. And probably some earrings. And maybe some fake eyelashes. This could be a problem.

What a fun evening! I went there with three girlfriends for a ladies night to get a mini facial and make-​up application with some tips for later and loved it so much I left with all new make-​up and some fun accessories! They gave us delicious complimentary beverages and were fun and professional. I recommend them to anyone looking for an enjoyable, relaxing evening that also leaves you with new ideas to dress your face up sassy for a night out!

My girlfriends and I went here to get masks and makeup done. There were three beautiful ladies there to help us as we enjoyed some wine and chocolate. We started with the masks, washed them off and then started on makeup applications. I love that you can pick any look you want, and each of us chose something different. And we each looked amazing! We left the shop with cards telling us what we were wearing and some other ideas for eye makeup applications. The shop of makeup, jewelry, scarves and other merchandise is also a nice touch and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back with my makeup bag so they can help me use it to the fullest and let me know what I’m missing! I should also mention that they gave me a hair tip that I’ve already used twice and love it!

What a wonderful day my friends and I had at Blush! We did the two-​hour party, which entailed a bottle of bubbly, candy, face masks and make-​up application. It was like a slumber party, but during the day and with booze. Fantastic! We had the place to ourselves and really enjoyed talking to Jori and Kelly, browsing their products, and getting dolled up. Everyone was really happy with their look, but the experience was really the best part.
They have some great products for sale too. I bought some jewelry and a headband, but Jori also made me a custom body scrub that I am in love with. My friends walked away with some great skin care products and make-​up at a very reasonable price.
If you are just looking for a professional make-​up application, this place would be great. If you are looking for a really fun way to hang with your girlfriends and get some make-​up tips, this place is awesome!

Ok I wish I could give Blush Beauty Room more than 5 stars. I recently worked with them on a Prom shoot, and I cannot say enough about these talented ladies. As a photographer, I’ve worked with several makeup artists over the years, and these girls are top notch! I have not retouched the skin on any of the photos I took at this shoot, because their makeup was flawless.
I love the way the shop is decorated — so clean and bright with girly chandeliers and details throughout. They use several different makeup brands, including Bare Minerals which I just love.
Jori and Kelly are both fun personable girls and in my opinion need to have their own reality show bc I’ve seen their quirky goofy sides and I love it. You’ll definitely have a great time getting your makeup done with your girlfriends at Blush with these two.
I’ll be recommending these gals to all of my Senior photo clients :)

These ladies took my birthday outing from great to fantastic.
We had purchased a Livingsocial deal and were excited to see what it entailed. We were greeted with champagne and some Hershey’s chocolates and the ladies took the time to explain who they were, how they get started in the business and what services they would be providing to us. We started with some masks and they encouraged us to look through the look books for inspiration or anything that we liked. All five members of our group had different skin tones and goals for their make-​up and everyone of us very much enjoyed the end result. The makeup held up all night (even though some extensive dancing). Everything about our visit was professional and fun!

I called for an appointment for a makeup and eyelash application the day before I needed it, and they accommodated me. I will say upfront that I am quite particular about most things, especially make up! When I arrived, I found the salon/​shop to be very cute and comfortable. They were very busy and I waited 15 minutes for my appointment and felt that the application was a bit rushed. Kelly was extremely nice, personable and professional. We discussed the look I wanted, and I felt she understood, but there were a couple of issues that she didn’t really have time to correct completely. My brows were done unevenly; she quickly corrected them but I had to re-​do them at home. She also used an eye shadow that was nearly the opposite of what we had discussed. She went over it quickly with another color, which didn’t correct it. I almost liked the individual lash application but they were also uneven, and I should have had more lashes applied – it looked strange. We had also discussed my oily skin and I had shine-​through very quickly.
I really liked the lip stain she applied and wanted to purchase it, but they did not have it available for sale. I debated giving Blush Beauty Room either 2 or 3 stars and decided to go with 3 because the make up application was okay (I didn’t wash all of it off at home), and I think I would have been happier with the service if we had more time together. It seemed they were overbooked and if they had not been, the experience would have been much better. I should note that when I called for a next-​day appointment, there was no mention of squeezing me in between appointments. I would go back if enough time was allowed. Another positive note: I bought a ring that I absolutely love and it was a steal at $ 15!

Jori and the girls are FANTASTIC. I brought in a group of 10 ladies on our annual weekend. They made us all look beautiful. All of us had the biggest smiles on our faces for the rest of the night. The shop is beautiful, the champagne delicious and it felt more like getting our make up done by friends. All of the artists were professional but so nice, and easy to talk to. They took the time to find out what we wanted and then delivered! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a confidence boost!

I went to Blush to have my makeup done for my engagement photos and I could not have been happier with the end result. Jori was a blast to work with and got me in and out in 30 minutes. The staff uses the Bare Minerals line but trust me ladies, they know how to work with it! I’ve used BM at home before and was never able to build up to the flawless finish promised by the commercials. Jori worked her magic and achieved and amazing full-​coverage, natural look that lasted the entire day. I will absolutely be hiring Jori and her team for my entire bridal party for our wedding.

i was looking for an affordable place to get my makeup done as I was traveling home for a special occasion. I read about Blush Beauty Room online and after seeing their prices I was sold, plus the location is very convenient. They were very accommodating in working around my schedule as i was traveling home and had limited time. Jori did an excellent job with my makeup, I even went to see her again last month when I was home for a wedding. This place is great and I wish we had more places like this in NYC (believe it or not we dont and not for this great of a price). Jori takes her time and makes sure everything is to your liking. Also a nice bonus, they sell jewelry and saved me a trip trying to find a pair of earrings last minute. Will keep coming here everytime I’m in MN!

I had a terrific experience at Blush Beauty Room. I was having headshots done and the photographer recommended I get my makeup done. I had learned about Blush through their ad/​coupon in the Uptown Quarterly. I was quite nervous because although I feel confident with my daily makeup routine, I had no experience doing makeup that holds up under the bright lights of photography. Kelly made me feel very comfortable and assured me she knew what she was doing. When she was done, I was definitely wearing more makeup with a different overall look than I was used to, but I quelled my fears and headed down to the photography studio. Not only did the photographer compliment me on how great my makeup was, but the photos turned out spectacularly! I highly recommend trusting the experts at Blush Beauty Room.

Blush Beauty Room is a girly haven in the hustle and bustle of the city. Beautiful décor, fun accessories, and a place to play with make up and other beauty bobbles… at an affordable price.
Blush carries a few select product lines that give a range of options without the daunting task of choosing between a plethora of options. Beginners to skin care and make up will be equally as happy as veteran beauty lovers. Jory and her team are extremely knowledgeable about their products, listened to my issues and concerns, and found the perfect mix of products to meet my needs and stay in my budget.
Make up applications are a mere $ 25 – totally affordable for a date night, wedding, etc. AND no pressure to buy anything, though I challenge you not to want to take a few things home.
You can also get a skin treatment for $ 10 done right in the store – a peel or mask to try before your purchase or that maybe you don’t think you’ll use enough to justify the $ 60 for the bottle but still want to give your skin a little extra care, particularly in these harsh winter months.
Stop in and enjoy a few minutes of pampering and lounging.
