I get my make up done every so often. its a luxury that some people don't believe in, but trust me,…read moreits worth it. if you had to attend a special event and you wanted to look your best, would you want to stress out about your make up? NO! it'll stress you out and in the end, your skin and make up wouldn't mesh together and you end up looking like a hot mess anyway! and what if there's photos being taken? i'm sure the last thing you would want to think about is if your foundation shade is matched perfectly. or if the foundation you're wearing is going to make your face chalk-white with the rest of your body perfectly tanned, because of course... the tan is something that people think is more important than make up. anyway, as someone who gets their make up done more than the average human being thats my age, i can say with confidence that if you're with Romina, you're in good hands. She takes direction very well and if you don't think that you can describe what it is that you want, bring a photo. she is extremely patient but she's also very swift and quick. She really does bring out the natural beauty with minimal make up, but don't worry... she can do the smoky eye and more daring looks as well.

Romina was one of the makeup artist the day of my wedding and focused on the mother of the bride and the future mother in law (that isn't a makeup wearer). Both women felt beautiful and smiled all day, not just because their children were getting married but because Romina brought out their glow!

This woman is an out-of-this-world make up artist…read more I have personally seen her do make up and I can't even put into words the amount of artistic talent she has at her fingertips. People have appointments set up with her MONTHS in advance and they book her without even knowing her because she has such a good reputation here in Santa Barbara.

Tomiko is the most talented artist and personable woman in the business…read more I feel so fortunate Tomiko was even available to do the makeup for my wedding day, because I know from her reputation that she is in high demand. The reasons why I chose Tomiko are simple. First, she is so warm and instantly puts anyone she is around at ease. This becomes important, because on your wedding day, you really want to be surrounded by good people that make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Secondly, Tomiko is all about highlighting a person's natural beauty. I am not used to getting my makeup done, and so many artists overdo it and make you feel like you're looking at a stranger in the mirror, but not Tomiko. Tomiko made sure I was 100% in love with my wedding makeup, and that when I walked down the aisle or saw myself in photos after the fact, I recognized myself AND felt so beautiful. Thank you Tomiko!! You are a gift to brides everywhere!!!
