Cori has made all my glamour dreams come true! She was set to do my wedding makeup and a week before we did a trial for Disneyland's Dapper Day. Both days I felt like a queen! On my wedding day, like most brides, I felt really stressed, but her personality and stories kept me calm. When the wedding coordinator came in to tell me that there was a serious problem with the florist, Cori stepped up and started making boutonnières...who does that?!? Only the best makeup artist on the planet!! I wish I could give her even more stars! read more

If you're on the fence about booking Cori, let me stop you and say BOOK HER ASAP! Oh my word I can't even tell you how amazing of an experience it was working with Cori. Not only is she an incredibly skilled makeup artist but she will have your back from the moment you book her till you walk down the aisle. I reached out to her several times via text with random questions leading up to the wedding day and she was always happy to help and offer assistance in any way. I had a poor experience with another artist which led me to find Cori and I'm so thankful I found her. After doing a trial with Cori and seeing her skill, I knew she was the one. I also appreciated that she took her time with the makeup application and showed me several options for lashes to make sure I liked the look. To top that she also is so much fun to work with and be around, exactly the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding day! Having trustworthy and reliable vendors WILL make or break your wedding day. Believe me. Cori is your girl, book her asap before she books up! She's like the cool big sister you always wanted! Can't wait to work with her again. Thank you Cori for making me feel like the most beautiful bride! read more

Cori was amazing!!!! She showed up on time for my wedding day, knew exactly what I wanted (even though I never did a trial and was a nervous wreck) lol! BUT she did not disappoint and it was less than 30 mins tops. I legit looked like I walked off a magazine cover! I wanted a soft look and she nailed it! Thank you Cori! read more

Cori Stephenson - Makeup Artist - Makeup Artists Near Me

What can I say about Cori that hasn't already been said?! I am so thankful that Cori was part of my amazing team of wedding pros. She is professional, has the best attitude (and the best stories - just ask her!), and can make you look flawless on one of the most important and memorable days of your life. I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with Cori on three occasions, as she did my makeup for my engagement shoot, and for my two wedding receptions this year. She is so incredibly talented - she somehow just knows what will look good on you if you have no clue, but at the same time, is also open and flexible if you feel like you want a specific look. I received so many compliments on my makeup and she made me feel so confident and beautiful! She also did my mom's makeup for both receptions and my mom loved it so much she SLEPT in her makeup because she didn't want to take it off! She's never had her makeup professionally done before and was hesitant at first, but Cori made her feel extremely comfortable and in the end, she loved it! My wedding is over, but I'm itching to find a reason I need my makeup done, just so I can book Cori again! If you're on the fence - BOOK HER NOW! You will not regret it! read more

Cori Stephenson - Makeup Artist - Makeup Artists Near Me

As a person who grew up in the inland empire-- I am honest about the fact that I trust 0 make up artists in the IE. The harsh colors, the MAC worship, the cakey foundation... I used to insist my friends hit up a San Diego or LA make up artist for any weddings or special events because I'm a good friend and I want them to look nice. I'm so lucky I found Cori. She is the only person in the 909/951 and LA area I trust. My friends are also lucky I found her -- she's our friend group and family go-to person. She makes us look amazing. The best part about Cori is that she is an amazing human being. She's real, honest and so personable. My only regret is not finding her sooner. This weekend I watched her work her magic on two of my most beautiful friends. She did her thing and made them each look amazing in their own different way. I immediately regretted not getting to the IE a day earlier to get my make up done for the event. I cant wait for her to do our make up for my best friends baby shower in January. Being glammed up by her was one of the things I missed most during the pandemic. read more

Look no further - book Cori NOW! After the stress of anything wedding related this year, I chose Cori to do my wedding makeup without even a trial. Cori will not only make you look absolutely flawless on your special day, but her energy is infectious and kept me calm and smiling the whole way through. She even helped zip me up in my dress! She arrived even earlier than we discussed to set up. Even with the location's dim lighting, she was well prepared with her own lighting and chair. I was expecting immediate makeup application, but she took the time to thoroughly prep my face with a lip scrub, moisturizer, etc. There were a lot of hiccups during the setup of my wedding, but makeup + hair was definitely not one of them. She was perfect and I will be booking her for any event I have in the future! read more

This is long overdue - I would chose Cori as my MUA and hairstylist ten times over again!! I came across Cori after being seriously dissatissfied with previous make up trails. I was starting to feel hopeless. She came fully prepared for our trial and blew my socks off, I knew she was my girl. Fast forward to wedding morning - of all the wedding advice I recieved, no one told me to make sure you vibe with your vendors personality because they're who you spend the most time with leading up to the alter (yes, even if you have a huge bridal party). Cori felt like one of my best girlfriends - she brought humor, emotional support and exceptional talent to wedding day. I look back at my wedding photos and feel beautifully MYSELF. Just a glammed up bridal version. Cori, I can't thank you enough. You're a beautiful soul, this world needs more of you. read more

Cori has done my makeup twice now and I could never go to anyone else! The first time was for my sister-in-laws wedding in 2015 and the second for my wedding in September 2018. Cori is the most personable and and skilled MUA you could ask for! She listens to you and gladly accepts inspiration photos of what styles you like. We did a makeup trial prior to the wedding to discuss and execute the overall "look" I wanted for the wedding. She took her time and explained what products she was using every step of the way. She did exactly what I wanted and I wore the makeup all day to get a feel for how it would be on the wedding day. It felt so light and comfortable on and did not come off when I touched it. My aunt was in disbelief and also touched my face to see the proof was in the pudding! On the wedding day, she even helped in keeping me relaxed by reminding me to take deep breaths in and out. After my makeup was all finished she gave me the mirror to see, which was such a fun reveal! I was going for a soft sun-kissed look and Cori executed that exactly! The makeup lasted ALL night (from 3pm-midnight). Cori even gave me a little swag bag with a gloss, tissues and tic-tacs to bring with me to the ceremony! I had 4 women who were also getting their makeup done and Cori was so kind to fit in one extra person! So she had done 5 of us in total and she finished all of our makeup with time to spare. She even touched up my now husband who had some blemishes. I cannot recommend Cori enough for your makeup needs! She is so skilled at what she does and uses the best quality makeup. She will make you picture perfect for any occasion. read more

If you are looking for a MUA book Cori now, like right now. I cried when I saw how beautiful she made me look and feel.

So again I will say go book Cori now. read more

Cori was great! I was lucky enough to find her and keep her into 2021 after our 2020 wedding was postponed. She has such a great personality and made me feel like I had known her for years. She and her team were on time for my bridal party on wedding day and did a great job with everyone! I would hire her again in the event I need another hair and makeup (given I hardly wear any normally) day. :) read more

Cori Stephenson - Makeup Artist - Makeup done by Cori - Makeup Artists Near Me

Cori Stephenson is not a make up artist she is a make up GODDESS!!! The things that she can do is amazing! She did my make up for my bridal shower and my wedding and I could not be happier with the results!!!! I was breaking out pretty bad during both occasions and she managed to hide all of that and still manage to have the make up feel light and airy. I hate the feeling of caked on make up so this was such a relief! She told me that she will be sure it will last all night and more. She was right.. I slept in it the wedding night (whoops) and it still looked amazing the next day on the way to the honeymoon. Her personality is amazing too. She is fun and sweet! I would highly recommend her! read more

I LOVE HER!!! I got married the beginning of October and she did my makeup, my mom's, sisters and two of my bridesmaids. I got crazy lucky being able to book her so short notice and what a job. My mom was so stoked saying she felt so beautiful. My sister who never wears foundation looked flawless. And my other 2 bridesmaids looked stunning as well. All of our makeup flowed together so well but at the same time mirrored our personalities. Thank you again, Cori!!! read more
