I looked beautiful, and when I see photos from the day, I still see myself -- just the best version of me. Raven also did hair and makeup for our sisters and moms, and she brought two other artists to round out her team. They were all incredible -- full of good energy, laughter, and calm. The morning felt joyful and relaxed, and I didn't feel a single ounce of stress once I sat in her chair. On top of her talent, Raven was professional and organized. My coordinator commented on how great her communication was, and my photographer was impressed with how punctual and efficient she and her team were. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We loved her so much, my matron of honor considered flying her out to do our makeup for the reception we were having in California later that year. (Then the reality of the cost set in.) Luckily, fate led me to Vanessa Artistry / Beauty Mark Ink. Vanessa came to my house with everything ready to go--makeup, lighting and everything needed to glam us up. She was a professional perfectionist, ensuring me and my gals looked and felt our very best. We are a bunch of middle-aged women; youth was not on our side, but this pro did wonders for us! I'll admit, I was a little nervous wondering if anyone was going to be able to live up to the wonderful artist who did our makeup back in May, but my fear was for not. Vanessa was wonderful! A true artist!

This review for my August 2017 wedding is long overdue! What…read moreamazing service! From beginning to end, I had a great experience with Andrea and Vanessa. I thoroughly did my research and contacted about 15 hair and makeup artists and had a methodical spreadsheet approach on cost, what each business offered, and if they had airbrush makeup, since my friends who have gotten married before highly recommended it. Keep in mind, I am not really into makeup on a day to day basis, and I have a headful of frizzy curls that I can't manage on a daily basis. I was also nervous about my face being too overdone or not looking like myself. Vanessa and Andrea were quick to respond to emails from day one. They were flexible in dates for my hair & makeup trial, and were able to accommodate me in the bedroom of my 1 bedroom condo. I loved the way the trial went- the airbrush makeup looked flawless and my hair was awesome! PRO TIP: Schedule your hair & makeup THE SAME DAY as when you go wedding dress shopping- it REALLY helps put the entire look together and visualize how everything will look on your wedding day. MAKE SURE to add buffer time from your hair & make up appointment to getting to your dress appointment. After the trial, I wrote them notes about what I did and didn't like afterwards, and they easily accommodated me. They recommended for a fuller look that I get extensions, and Andrea came by my house once again to make sure she ordered the right color. Vanessa went into a lot of detail as to what was included in the VIP service, which is what I ended up investing in. That includes them coming to the venue and doing a touch up. Fast forward to the wedding day- they arrived on time, and they really helped set the tone of the entire day. They were mellow, easy to get along with, and my bridesmaids, mother in law and sister in law all felt at ease with them. 2 of my bridesmaids also had curly hair, and they looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL with their hair and makeup done. Everyone looked gorgeous and at the sametime, themselves. ONE MORE PRO TIP: In addition to how much Vanessa estimates for your hair & makeup, add in an extra half hour on top of that to put your dress, shoes, and jewelry on when putting your wedding timeline together. With all the hecticness, that extra half hour really was needed! I am so glad I invested in the VIP service- Vanessa and Andrea had set up in the Japanese Tea House which I had rented extra at the Piedmont Community Hall. It was a perfect setup for them. Before and after the ceremony they were on standby to touch up makeup. After shedding a few tears, this was much needed! It set up me up for my makeup & hair to last the entire night. Andrea even got off some sticky glitter that mysteriously appeared on my husband- lol! The hair and makeup was a true investment, and to be quite honest, more than I had budgeted to spend. But when I look back at my wedding pictures and videography, I am SO glad I chose Beauty Mark. I felt so beautiful and flawless on one of the biggest days of my life, which is so important on your wedding day! I would happily recommend them to any bride. They truly added to my amazing day.
