I'm so grateful to Brie for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! My makeup and hair were everything I hoped for -- elegant, flawless, and long-lasting. She truly listened to what I wanted and brought my inspo to life perfectly. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her calm and friendly energy made the morning feel so relaxed and enjoyable. I got so many compliments, and I felt amazing all day. Highly recommend to any bride!!! read more

Let me first say -- HOLY SH*T is she good!! Brie did makeup for my wedding on Sunday 9/2/12. Seriously... A-MA-ZING!! I found Brie through a network of friends and friends-of-friends, and am so happy to have met her. Not one moment went by where I felt unheard as a bride, or uncertain of her ability to do makeup or do what I wanted. I didnt know how to put in words what I was looking for, but with my attempt to explain it, she got it spot on!! Brie made me feel sooo comfortable, and really connected on more than a bride-vendor relationship---I felt like we were old friends, and I only met her this year!! Her professionalism and attention to detail was amazing, and everyone who had her do their makeup looked phenomenal. Any time I need my makeup done, there is no doubt who I will call. Wedding, Prom, Birthday, Just because... whatever the occasion, you need to go to Brie!! You won't regret it!! read more

Brie Does Makeup - Makeup by Brie Leach, Photo by Jessica Lee Thomas Photography - Makeup Artists Near Me

I would give Brie a million stars if I could!!! Wedding day makeup: Wow! I felt more beautiful than I've ever felt in my entire life. She is a genius when it comes to makeup. She understands face shape, eye shape, nose shape, lip shape- she understand it all and knows how to make everything look the absolute best that it possibly can. My eyes are a hazel-ish color and she made them POP with the eyeliner and eye shadows she used. She used the airbrush makeup on me and my skin looked flawless all night! I didn't even need any touch ups! :) Hair: Brie did an amazing job on my hair. I showed her some photos of what I wanted and she nailed it!! I got some clip-in extensions for the day of the wedding and she knew exactly where to place them so that they went unnoticed. Customer service: Brie is such a cool and laid back person. She always made me feel like I was the most important person to her. :) when I went to her house for my makeup trial she offered me tea & beverages while I was there. On my wedding day, she was on time and came with such a fun & excited attitude. She enjoyed some champagne with me & my bridal party and we all had a blast! Thank you so much, Brie for being so sweet & so much fun! I would recommend Brie to anybody that wants to look and feel amazing. She is a genius with hair & makeup and on top of it all, she's fun to be around!! I've included some photos of my wedding day. read more

My wedding was two years ago, on Nov. 15th, 2015. I had found Brie online, but hit it off with her immediately as we found out we had both attended the same art college and had mutual friends and acquaintances there. I loved how she took her artistic training with her in her work as a makeup artist! The day of my wedding, Brie had just gotten back from HER OWN wedding in Hawaii the night before. But there she was, bright and early Friday morning at like 7am, to get started on my hair and makeup, as well as my mom's hair and makeup, and one of the bridemaid's makeup. She listened to everything I asked of her, and I've never felt more beautiful. I've always been so so thankful for her to be there right after getting back from her own wedding. That takes dedication and a love for what you do, both things Brie has spades! read more

I have to say that although Brie does excellent makeup, her customer service and business management skills are severely lacking. I first contacted her in July asking if she was available for my wedding date in June, which she quickly responded "yes" to (especially since it was so far in advance). We went back and forth in emails for the next few weeks finalizing the number of services I needed and location, with me saying I would like to make my deposit to reserve her for the date. A couple weeks passed by in August, with her saying she was out of town and would get back to me shortly- totally understandable. I touched base again (now in September) when I didn't hear from her, again asking about the deposit/formalities/etc. Brie then messaged me to say that she has to cancel on me, because she got a better offer for that same date with a higher number of services. *Mind you, I needed 3 services, plus paying her travel fee* If way back in July she had told me that she had a minimum number of services needed (not listed anywhere on her website), then I either could have worked with that and upped my services OR not wasted 2 months of my time and just booked someone else. She offered in our last email to send me referrals for other makeup artists she knew, which I replied back saying that: although I was very disappointed, Yes, I needed that. It's now been nearly 2 weeks and I haven't heard back. That's just a terrible way to conduct your business... **Correction: 9 days, not nearly 2 weeks. read more

I booked Brie to do hair and make-up for my wedding this past May. I feel like my review for Brie needs to be two fold, and I will review her based on two aspects. The first aspect is talent and results. For this, I give Brie a solid 5 stars. I selected Brie based on pictures on Yelp and her website. Most other make-up artists feature (in my opinion) pretty gaudy styles and just use way too much make up in general. I wanted something subtle and natural looking, but still beautiful. At the trial, I brought some pictures of the hair and make-up styles I was looking for, and she worked with me to get the styles just right in preparation for the big day. Brie definitely understood and was able to successfully implement the look I was going for. On the day of the wedding, she traveled to the house my family and I were staying at to do make up for myself and my party. The results of Brie's work were awesome. She does a wonderful job; my hair and make-up were beautiful and turned out just how I wanted. Brie is definitely very talented at what she does, and you will not regret the results if you decide to go with her. The second aspect is customer service and attitude. For this, I must give a lesser amount of stars, hence the four star review; if I were reviewing on this aspect alone I would probably go with 3. Brie is generally friendly enough, but her customer service skills can be lacking and I do not get the feeling that she enjoys her work. To give a couple examples, when we showed up on time for the trial at her house, we weren't sure which house was hers, so we tried calling and texting and got no answer. We waited outside for awhile until Brie checked her phone and finally came out to meet us. Second, when I had questions about how early she wanted to start doing make-up on the day of, her responses, to me, seemed overly harsh. I simply asked for clarification and explanation on need for the early start time, and received what seemed to me a defensive answer that made me feel like I was pretty unreasonable for even asking. I'm generally a "go-with-the-flow" kind of customer and I know I'm not a difficult person to work with, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I have a few questions on your process (that isn't cheap). If you can tell me why, you are the professional, and I will go with your process; I just want a little information! Lastly... on the day of, while she was doing my make-up, my photographer was there taking getting ready photos. She seemed annoyed at this and even told him to back off and stop taking pictures and to do them later, because "she knows what brides want". I was kind of taken aback by this. She never asked me about it and just made an assumption that she knew what I wanted in that regard. I would have rather had the photographer take his pictures, however he saw fit. In summary, overall, while I docked a star for customer service, I would still recommend Brie for wedding make-up and hair. Although I was not overly impressed with her attitude in some instances, in the end, the results are what matters the most, and you will not be disappointed with Brie's finished work. read more

Brie of Beach Fox is hands down my favorite hair/makeup artist. She's done my makeup and hair for many shoots and events. My favorite part about her is that the makeup looks so good on camera AND in person, so she's great both for shoots and events. I'm super particular about my makeup and hair, so it takes a lot for me to recommend someone. I refer Brie over and over again in hopes we keep getting to work together ;). Also- crazy bonus that her products are organic. I can't believe the chemicals I've found are in regular products, and love that Brie has taken the time and expense to find good products that work so well, last a long time, and are still organic. Obviously, I recommend Brie 100%! Book her!!! read more

Brie has been such a truly amazing resource for getting all dolled up! She did my make up way back when.... I got Married in 2010. She did my makeup for my rehearsal night and wedding day. Both occasions were a total hit and unique to what I was wearing and how I felt! Now, I use her for fun to get my makeup done for events.

There were 5 bridesmaids, including me~ Not only does she know what she is doing, she is clean, professional and really easy to talk with. She knows coloring, she knows style and she most of all knows how to make you feel beautiful. A true gem and I would highly recommend her to any and everyone I know! read more

Wedding Date: 4/6/2013 I couldn't be ANY more pleased with my decision to hire Brie for our destination wedding in Laguna Beach!

My research consisted of viewing the listed vendors' websites, photo portfolios & client reviews... Brie made the top of my list in all aspects. I was further impressed by her professionalism & responsiveness in handling my MANY questions along the way. The fact that she is talented in both Makeup AND Hair was also a plus! She is a PRO and a true artist, enhancing the beautiful features of my mom and two bridesmaids with Airbrush foundation, quality makeup and beautiful hair!

Brie Does Makeup - Makeup Artists Near Me

Brie is amazing!! She did hair + makeup for me, my mother, mother-in-law and 2 bridesmaids. She was extremely professional but also personable and relatable. Her talent is out of this world- everyone was so pleased with both their hair + makeup and we all got so many compliments! She is open to any challenge + was able to do exactly what we wanted + even more! She was great at communicating throughout the whole process. As a bride she took all the pressure off of making sure everyone was happy with their hair + makeup. I was waiting to have my bridal party open their gifts until the photographer/videographers were there, but I knew they would cry + at this point most of their makeup was done and of course I was nervous it would get messed up, but the high quality makeup Brie uses did not allow this to happen, and she was able to touch up anything that needed it! I was nervous about spending too much money on hair/makeup, but Brie is very reasonably priced and worth every single cent! She really eased all of my concerns as a bride and was just truly fabulous in all ways possible! I would highly recommend Brie to anyone needing hair + makeup!! read more

Brie recently did makeup for my wedding and for a bunch of my friends. I felt so beautiful and she did such a fantastic job. The makeup she did for myself and my friends brought out each person perfectly. She was very intuitive in creating a look for each person that felt like the best version of themselves, but where they still looked like themselves. We have been all joking that we need Brie to follow us around so we can always look that good. She was also very prompt and just really easy to work with and lovely to be around on my big day. Was so happy she was available and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Brie for making my wedding day so special. Beyond appreciate it. read more

My make-up was just stunning I almost didn't recognize myself, but it was so natural. Thank you Brie for making my night extra special.

Went to her website, emailed my information and what I was needing (hair and makeup done for two for a wedding). Heard back the next day from Brie saying if this wasn't for a wedding (I think she meant people in a wedding) that we would need to be flexible on time because it is likely she would get booked for a wedding, but at the moment she didn't have a deposit from anyone for the day i requested. I responded the same day asking what time she was thinking. I didn't hear back from her so I followed up 4 days later and asked if she received my email... Here we are a week after my follow up and i still haven't heard back. The impression I got was if it's not for a wedding, it's not worth her time... which is fine. But a response would have been nice so I could book someone else sooner. read more

I lovvvvedddd Brie. She and one assistant did hair/makeup or both for 5 girls and they rocked it. I did the trial with Brie for my bridal hair and makeup and the make up was FLAWLESS. Then we hired her to do it for some of the bridesmaids and the mothers as well and she stayed with us for most of the day. She helped fix all the makeup through out the day and was so easy going. She and I discussed hair and after the trial we knew we wanted something a little different day off for my personal hair style. When she did the hair style day of it was EXACTLY what I wanted. IT was so amazing to have her there and she felt like one of the girls! She was fun, light hearted and got along well with all the women in my bridal party. We even took a break together and decided to lay down on the floor before doing my hair and makeup. I love people who can just take a breather with you and make an event fun! On top of all that she made me look gorgeous and I got rave reviews all night. ALSO my other vendors (photographer and planners) loved working with her. WIN WIN WIN read more
