Marie and the Luna Bella Beauty team were an absolute dream come true for my wedding day preparations. Marie and her assistant PD are skilled and talented makeup and hair artists, and they made me, my mother, and my best friends/bridesmaids feel so beautiful and loved on my wedding day this past Saturday in San Diego. They were super professional, punctual, and so much fun to hang out with for the hours of makeup and hair prep before the wedding. We all loved our hair and makeup, and it stayed perfect throughout the entire night, even after we got off the dance floor! We received so many compliments throughout the entire night too! I really appreciate all the personalized details they put into each girl's hair and makeup, and I especially appreciate them for being so accommodating to also fix my cousin's makeup as well - she absolutely loved her look and it means so much to me that you were able to help her at the last minute. They also did makeup for my husband (the groom), and it looked so natural and his skin looked flawless for all the photos. Thank you Marie and Luna Bella Beauty team for your artistry and for being a part of our special day! I give my highest recommendations for your hair and makeup styling services! read more

I hired Marie to do my wedding hair and makeup and only have the most positive things to say!! We did a trial a few months in advance which was helpful so on wedding day, Marie had no questions and knew exactly what I wanted. She was so easy to talk to, and it was a delight to spend my wedding morning with her. We had 7 people getting hair and makeup done, and I didn't want us to have to start too early, so she brought along two other artists, PD and Cherry, who were just as amazing. I cannot recommend Marie enough! read more

Where do I even begin? Marie is an absolute DREAM to work with and I'm beyond happy that my wedding day began with her. I had my preview session in December of last year and I wanted something natural looking and she achieved that no problem. She was so fun to talk to during the two hours that it took to do the preview session that I was really excited to see her again on my wedding day. On the day of the wedding, she arrived a bit early to get set up with the additional makeup artist and she had a really nice schedule set up for us since we had multiple people that needed hair and make up done. The 3 bridesmaids and the groom were really happy with their results and as for me, I could not be happier! We went a little bit more dramatic with the eyes and did some combed out waves. Her makeup holds up so well that I could lay face down on the ground after a long photoshoot session and it did not budge. Everyone looked super glammed up! Marie and her assistant are so incredibly talented. I wish I lived in SoCal just so I could work with her again! She's great at communicating through email and text, she's super helpful with answering all my questions and concerns, and she's just such a fun person to be around. I highly recommend working with her for anyones wedding day! I miss her already. read more

Luna Bella Beauty - Marie doing hair and makeup on my sister! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Where do I even begin with reviewing Marie? First off, I think I found her work when I was going down an instagram rabbit hole trying to find a HMUA for my wedding. She had great reviews and seem to be the vibe I was going for. I specifically wanted someone who was comfortable and great at doing makeup on an Asian/Filipina face. I had her do my hair and make up for my engagement photo session and then another makeup trial 2 months before the wedding. Marie was so patient throughout this whole process and really helped refine my look to what I wanted - very natural glam. I don't wear a lot of makeup in general and I didn't want to feel like I was uncomfortable or looked to unliked myself. By the wedding day, she absolutely NAILED my look. My hair was exactly how I wanted it with soft curls (that surprisingly lasted the whole night!!) and my makeup was very natural and just accented my natural features. Marie and her assistant Cherry were timely, so professional, and SO FUN to work with. Also her prices are fair and reasonable. Every time I've met with Marie, I have felt so comfortable throughout my sessions and I think that is so important on a day like your wedding. I had a restless night before the wedding day and despite the early start, Marie and Cherry kept the whole morning calm and cool (even when I had a bridesmaid last minute want to add on makeup). We were able to do this because we were AHEAD of schedule!! Amazing, I know...because wedding HMU is always known to run overtime. She and her team did an outstanding job and I would recommend her over and over again as a HMUA. Marie, you are the absolute best! read more

Luna Bella Beauty - Wedding Hair - Makeup Artists Near Me

We were looking to do a mini civil ceremony, and I am beyond grateful that I found Marie. Our budget was low, so I was really looking for bridal hair and makeup only. As someone who has very little experience with hair and makeup, I was overwhelmed when looking at all the different styles. Since I had no budget for a trial session, I was also worried I would end up not liking the style of the artist I chose. When Marie stepped in on the day of our ceremony, there was something about her professionalism and confidence that completely eased my mind. She understood exactly what I wanted just through a photo I showed her, and she nailed it. I absolutely loved my makeup! And she didn't layer too much because I specifically requested lighter makeup. For hair, I also showed her a photo. I would have been content if she just matched it, but she customized it to fit my makeup, my face shape, and my overall style. It was a gorgeous low bun that fit perfectly with my hair accessories. Marie was also very fun to have around. The whole time, she was very focused and even have tips to my bridesmaid. We made a last minute request for her to do my bridesmaids' hairs, and she was very accommodating, all the while making sure we were on schedule. Love love LOVE Marie! She is lovely to have around. Even though we were only having a small civil ceremony, she made me feel like a priority (something I struggled with personally). I definitely recommend her services! read more

Marie is so talented, sweet, and kind I had Marie's hair and makeup service for myself (bride), my 2 moms, and sister in law - she made each one of us look absolutely beautiful she even has a small makeup/touch up kit that she gives to you for the wedding day! So detailed and thoughtful all my guests said the makeup looked so natural and beautiful! I would recommend Marie to everyone if I could! 10/10! read more

Luna Bella Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me

Very disappointed with the customer service.. I used Marie's email form two weeks before my planned work event (11/18). Three days later she replied (11/21) with pricing and I replied to her 2 days later (11/23) (her email states availability is secured for 48 hour period) confirming I wanted to book with her and asking how I could send a deposit. A week goes by, and on 11/30 I follow up asking if she had the chance to read my email from 11/23. I also left a voicemail on her phone asking where we were at at 5pm cali time. On 12/1 at noon she replied to my email saying it must have gone to her junk and she's booked out. She supplied me with a few artists who are also all booked out. I'm just disappointed now that it's a day before my event and likely will not be able to get my makeup done professionally. I work out of state so I do like to look extra nice the one time a year I see everyone. Her work is beautiful if you can get out of junk mail. :) read more

What can I say about Marie that hasn't already been said?! She was friendly, very professional, and I loved the full glam look she gave me on my wedding day. I recommend doing your makeup trial well in advance so you can figure out the look you're fully going for. Marie was really patient while I was trying to figure all that out and I felt great on the big day. She is awesome and so talented. Thanks Marie! read more

Marie did hair and make up for me, my mom, and my maid of honor for my wedding day! Everyone looked amazing. She was so easy to work with, very kind. She made my wedding morning so relaxing/stress-free, and she stayed right on schedule! I loved my look- I didn't know my hair could have that much volume! Highly recommend booking her read more

Let me tell you about my girl Marie!! Ugh I feel like we instantly connected when she walked in my door. She's so sweet and takes her time, she never once made me feel rushed or in a hurry. She first did my make up and hair for my boudoir session and then again for my elopement and each time exceeded my expectations! I love her and her work, she's amazing and I can't wait until my next function to book her again read more

I had a great experience working with Marie and her team for our wedding for my hair and make-up. I first met Marie at our hair/make-up trial session which I used for my engagement photo shoot. Personally, I've always had poor experiences getting my make-up done by someone else, but Marie has the expertise and experience working with Asian faces/eyes and helped me look and feel beautiful both on my trial day and on the wedding day. The make-up and hair style really lasted throughout the day too, nothing smudged. She gives you a small kit of extra make-up and setting powder in case you need it later throughout the day. My bridesmaids and family were also very happy with their make-up and hairstyles, and Marie/PD executed exactly what they wanted. Marie is personable and easy to talk to as well, and if you want to make any adjustments or changes, she's more than happy to do that for you. I would definitely rebook with Marie in the future, and highly recommend her for wedding make-up/hair! read more

Marie worked on my hair and her assistant did my makeup! Both members of the team were super sweet, professional, and easy to work with! They listened to what I wanted and made it happen. I was really happy with the outcome and felt so beautiful after! The makeup was soft and natural, just how I like it! I've had friends hire her for their engagement photos and loved her work! I'd also definitely book her for when I get married! read more

Marie is my go to MUA when it comes to my brand photoshoots! Her makeup is fresh and always gets my glow up on point! The way that her makeup looks on my photoshoots are perfect to highlight my features. In the past, it was tough to find someone that can do makeup for my asian eyes, then I found Marie who knows how to work with my face! If you need a MUA for photoshoots, weddings, special events...I highly recommend her! read more

Marie is not only an incredibly talented and skilled makeup artist, but she's also a really awesome person! After my makeup trial at her place, I discovered my car wouldn't start. Instead of leaving me to fend for myself, Marie invited me in while I waited for the tow truck, offered to drive me to grab dinner, tried to help diagnose my car problem, and stayed with me until AAA showed up at nearly 10PM (all on a work night). She didn't have to do any of that, but I was truly grateful for her kindness. With minimal direction (i'm pretty indecisive), Marie was able to transform my normally drab hair and makeupless face into a work of art that I'm still surprised I could look like that. Since I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, I didn't want the overdone, caked on look, but I also wanted to look special for my wedding. The makeup job she did perfectly accentuated my features and her updo style was so well placed, that I probably could've done a Crossfit workout and still had my hair stay. The makeup and product she uses are so light and comfortable, I barely realized I was wearing any makeup at all, until I looked at myself in the mirror. Our wedding ceremony started at 10AM, which meant a really early start time including 5 bridesmaids and 2 moms. I was worried we wouldn't make it in time, and also didn't want my girls to have to wake up TOO early. Marie expertly dictated the schedule to start at 5AM, and got all 8 people completed with her team of 2, within 3.5 hours and with time to spare. Her and her team were completely professional, efficient and friendly. In a normally hectic environment on our wedding morning, I felt completely at ease. She even gave me a cute touch up kit, which I totally needed later in the day. Thank you Marie! read more

Luna Bella Beauty - Hair and Makeup Trial - Makeup Artists Near Me

If I could give Marie 10 stars, I would!!! She made everything so easy from the first time I sent her an email. First off, she is extremely professional and quick to respond to your emails. Brides, I know this is extremely important when you're looking for a vendor! Being able to count on Marie to respond quickly saved me some stress because I was able to get answers quickly. Secondly, she is super sweet and flexible! I kept changing my mind about having my mom get her hair/makeup done and Marie was always willing to accommodate. She is also so easy to talk to And lastly, Marie makes you look absolutely wonderful on your wedding day!!! I didn't do a consultation at all and still loved exactly how my look turned out! We spoke thru email and I sent her pics of some styles I liked, and then confirmed the style that I wanted when I met her on my wedding day. Marie was good with communicating that what she had in mind for me was in fact the look I was going for. All my bridesmaids were happy with how their makeup and hair turned out and I kept getting so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I would def recommend Marie to anyone who's looking for a professional hair and makeup artist :) read more

To sum it all up, Marie was the perfect makeup artist and hairstylist!! LOVED her work!! Marie did my hair and makeup for a wedding I was a bridesmaid for this past weekend. She was so professional and showed up exactly at 6am as stated. I briefly told her an idea of how I wanted my hair and makeup and she produced exactly what I wanted. I don't wear alot of makeup so I wanted a natural look. I loved how light the makeup felt on my face especially since I've had experiences in the past with other artists where it felt caked on. She did such a great job and definitely made me feel beautiful! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the day! No retouch was needed either. I definitely recommend Marie for any occasion. I know I will be booking her for future events! read more

She did a great job doing my makeup for the makeup trial! It looked amazing however she failed to follow through with her contract. After signing a contract and feeling relieved to have booked a vendor over 5 months in advance for my wedding, almost 3 months later she emails me saying that she can no longer fulfill her contract as she had an amazing opportunity come up for her to travel for. I am sure any bride would be as shocked as I was that she would back out of her contract over a job that came up later and that was better. This caused a lot of stress with finding a new vendor and while she did an amazing job with the makeup her lack of professionalism shows that she can not be trusted to follow through with a commitment. She did offer a backup artist and a free trial with the new artist, however she did not offer a discount for the inconvenience. Extremely disappointing experience. read more

Marie is a wizard when it comes to makeup! She did wedding makeup for myself, the mothers, and the bridesmaids so quickly and efficiently. Marie is so bubbly and interested in not only makeup, but you as a client, that sitting in her chair never got awkward or boring. The preview went very smooth and she really listened to every request I had, showing me throughout the way to make sure she was hitting all the points I wanted. The wedding day was exactly the same and I didn't have to worry about my makeup AT ALL. No smudging, no melting off, no fading. She is such a professional and a genuinely kind and caring person that I can't recommend her enough! read more

I always hire Marie for all my beauty shoots! She is very detailed. For close up shots I have to have the makeup perfect and she gives me perfect! I've also recommended her for a few friends that were getting married and she made the whole bridal party look absolutely stunning. She's amazing at what she does and has the sweetest soul! read more

I cannot enough great things about Marie. She was very sweet, but most important for anyone who is looking at this review, she was a true professional. I hired Marie to do hair and makeup for 9 women, including myself, for my wedding. When I was first exchanging emails/texts/phone calls to see her rates, etc. she was very quick to respond and very helpful explaining her work. She also did a trial run with me, taking many pictures, and talking about what I wanted, but she was also great taking an idea like "romantic" and running with it. As a bride, you don't want any stress at all on the big day, and Marie was very calming. She was on time and right on schedule for all the girls. And after every girl, she had them go check their hair and makeup to make sure everyone was happy. She also made sure she scheduled touch ups and made a to-go bag for me. And drumroll please: Her prices were by far the best prices of anyone around! I would definitely book Marie for my next event and you should too! Thanks Marie for such amazing work! read more

Marie is awesome! She responded to my emails right away and gave me instructions about my hair before she came. I emailed her photos of how I wanted my hair and make up and she did amazing! She did airbrush make up on me and it was FLAWLESS. Everyone complimented my hair & especially my makeup. I wasn't able to do a trial with her cuz I literally booked her a couple days before my wedding, but she still did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know. She also gave me a touch up kit which definitely came in handy. Marie is THE best!! read more

Marie and her team did such an amazing job for my wedding! From the preview to the day of, she was very professional, very friendly, and very good at what she does. Every girl looked amazing and she really worked with me to find the best look for me! Thank you Marie and team! read more

Marie is a wonderful make-up artist and hairstylist. I met her through a mutual friend and found out that she did hair and make-up. She was the make-up artist and hair stylist for my best friends wedding. Everything came out beautifully. Highly recommend for weddings! read more

Marie is absolutely amazing. If you're a bride searching for that perfect hair/makeup artist, here is all you really need to know: Communication: very responsive, respectful, & honest Pricing: competitive for the area, but with Marie you get what you paid for and MORE. She'll make you look and feel like a million bucks Timing: she is fast. I had 7 bridesmaids, my mom, and my MIL (10 services total including myself) and my ceremony started at 12:00pm sharp. Other artists around the area quoted me with a start time of 12am, 2am - Marie and her assistant started on my group at 5am. They were on time, organized, and efficient! We still had plenty of time to spare for group pics, a first prayer w/ the groom, breathing time, etc. Skill: THE BEST. She uses quality products and her eye for blending colors is amazing. She matched my skin tone perfectly, along with everyone else in my party. We looked flawless. She is a magician with that airbrush of hers! She is a fantastic hair artist as well. My hair is long/sleek and doesn't hold curls well - after my trial, my hair stayed put ALL day and I even slept in it to make sure and was able to wear it to work that next day! On the day of, she made me look even better than I had remembered from the trial. Hair/Makeup lasted the entire day throughout all the tears, dancing, running around, etc. She is great with direction and tweaking things here and there (for me it was eyeliner thickness, brow intensity, and my hair poof height) to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. Note: Marie can work on any face, but I was also looking for someone who can work with asian eyes specifically. I don't know how she did it, but all of the shadow blending on my lid looked great and you could even see it with my eyes open! This is a big deal! She's also a huge Harry Potter fan like me and if that isn't a huge plus, I don't know what is :) Simply put, Marie brings out a woman's inner beauty which is what I loved most. I didn't want to look back at my pictures and not recognize myself. I am so, so happy I went with her. If you're reading this, you at least owe it to yourself to start a conversation with her and see where it goes. You won't regret it! read more

What Marie does is magical! To make a woman feel utterly beautiful is no small thing and I am eternally grateful that my Google-search led me to her! JACKPOT! On top of this, she is very efficient in her responses and always very gracious. As the recent mother-of-the-groom, I was looking for a make-up artist/hairstylist that would elevate my ordinary look to extraordinary for this most special day. Upon meeting her, I knew I placed my trust in the hands of an expert. Marie exceeded my expectations in every way. Beyond the delighted look on my husband's face when he first saw me, the surprised joy on the faces of my grown children to see "mom" this way, the many compliments I received, and the fact that my short, but now up in a french-twist, hair stayed in place as we danced into the night, *was simply how beautiful I felt*. Every woman deserves to feel this way, and I am abundantly grateful to Marie for making this girl's wish come true. Thank you, Marie, for making the world more beautiful with your talent. read more

I have this theory. If a hair/makeup artist has impeccable hair/makeup, then you can trust that person to transform you into a more beautiful version of yourself. Amirite? Marie Tran always looks gorgeous and definitely has that skill!! No joke. I'm a complete dummy when it comes to doing my own hair and applying makeup. It's so sad. So when I started planning my wedding in 2010, I knew I had to find someone awesome. My maid of honor and I totally bonded with Marie when we went in for my trial session. I looked like death when I arrived, being super stressed from wedding planning. But Marie put me at ease right away and made the session super relaxing and fun! She's so chill and funny. I showed her a couple hair photos and told her I wanted a natural look for the wedding day. She took everything I said, made some recommendations and worked her magic! I could barely believe when she was done. The makeup felt so light , my hair looked amazing and I looked so pretty! She also talked me into getting hair extensions to complete my desired look for the big day. Best investment ever! Marie arrived early on my wedding day and was able to more than replicate what she did in the trial session. She worked swiftly to turn me into a beautiful bride. I have never been so vain in my life - I could NOT stop staring at myself in the mirror haha. I was beyond happy with the results and people kept complimenting how I looked all night and for weeks after. I've recommended her to any newly engaged person I have came across and will continue to do so. Marie has also made me up on two other occasions (I can't stay away!) - my maternity photo shoot and baby shower. Being pregnant and huge, I wasn't feeling very hot and on both of these days, she did her thang. The transformation never ceases to amaze me. Make sure to request airbrush make-up when you book her for anything - it's a game changer! Extremely light and airy! Marie will always be my go-to girl for hair and make-up needs. I trust her and you should too! read more

Ok. So you know the movie 27 dresses? Yeah, that was my life but without the man at the end. Still waiting on that (tapping my foot). Let's just say I've had my fair share of participating in weddings. All kidding aside, BFF was getting married and we threw down on the online searches for something fabulous and reasonably priced. Long story short, I went with BFF to get her trial done and right away we were big fans of Marie. She had a friendly vibe and was such a pleasure to talk to. As MOH, Marie ended up doing my makeup for the wedding as well. I didn't have a clue of how I wanted my makeup except that I wanted to look hot. She knew right away that the smokey dark eye look was right up my alley. On a day-to-day, I don't rock heavy makeup so I definitely require something pretty but natural enough where I don't look like I have a second mask on. Ladies, I know you feel me on this but when Marie puts the falsies on, I don't feel like ripping them off at the end of the night. Sometimes I forget i have them on when she puts them on. How do you do it woman? She's done my makeup a couple of times and I dream of the day she can use the airbrush on me again. My skin looked like I drank water for three days straight. Ah-mazing. I am such the biggest fan of Marie, I recommended her for another wedding and will recommend her for as long as humanly possible. I think i've decided for every life changing event in my life that requires me to look hot, Marie will be a a major contributor. She's so great and easy to work with. Book her. Book her now. You won't regret it. read more

Luna Bella Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me

If you don't feel like reading the entire review then just read this: I am obsessed. As a bride who was organizing her wedding from across the country (in NY) - I was really nervous about choosing a hair/makeup artist because I knew I wouldn't have the time to have a trial session done. I wrote e-mails and contacted at least 20 makeup and hair artists for pricing, photo samples, and general communication - it was REALLY important to me that the company/stylist I went with made me feel really comfortable and answered my 329320831 questions with patience and kindness. You can't imagine how many of these stylists answer in a way that makes you feel like they are forced to answer your questions, but wish they didn't have to. As an excited bride (and a perfectionist) - that's the last thing you want at before even signing a contract! Marie was given as a recommendation from a friend/wedding planner -- the first thing was that she responds to EVERY e-mail with a smile and REALLY quickly (which I loved.) I immediately felt safe and comfortable and knew she would take care of my bridesmaids and my mom - who I was really worried about and wanted to make sure she felt amazing on my wedding day. I had questions from being in other bridal parties about her methods and she was really patient and answered all of my questions through the months professionally and kindly - I was so appreciative of that =) On the wedding day, her and her assistant arrived promptly in the morning and immediately went about setting up their tools. Everything went smoothly - the timeline was longer than we allotted, I would say about 1.5 hour per bridesmaids rather than the 1 hour on the schedule and 2 hours is suffice for the bride. I also had some last minute "hair only" additions of close friends, who Marie was really flexible with adding in! My hair and makeup - was SO on point... I can't even begin to gush. I still didn't really have a great idea of what I wanted on the day of the wedding, and after looking at my dress together - we decided on a bun with texture. I was really worried about having "prom hair" on my wedding day - I wanted to look natural -- she did exactly that. For my makeup, I sent a few photos in advance but after seeing her sample photos in the beginning - I really didn't have a worry about that at all :) I would say that the only one con I had about the experience was her assistant... she wasn't really friendly and didn't say much the entire morning -- also the curls that she was doing on my bridesmaids all fell out while the ones for my bridesmaids who were worked on by Marie were perfect. So not sure what the difference there was, but my bridesmaids didn't seem bothered by it other than their curls falling out - just something I noticed! Would highly recommend Marie - I was SO SO SO picky about each and every vendor. I wanted high end work and skill and Marie completely delivered on that. I couldn't have been happier. You know... you spend all this money on a videographer and photographer but if at the end of the day you don't like your hair/makeup, the money you spent on that goes to waste because you hate the way you look. Marie made ALL OF THAT completely worth it and I can't help but stare, sometimes, at her work because it just blew me away :) read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would!! Marie did my wedding makeup and hair, as well as makeup+hair for 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and various family members who wanted last minute touch-ups. Marie and her assistant were very kind, attentive, and patient with all the ladies. And every single lady that had makeup/hair done by Marie or her assistant turned out lovely! I can't tell you how happy I was with my wedding look as well!!! To top it off, Marie has a great personality and is a pleasure to work with. I also appreciate her professionalism with prompt emails, receipts, etc. Definitely contact Marie for any hair or makeup services! read more

Marie is absolutely amazing. I got married in January and she made me and my bridesmaids so beautiful. She did my engagement shoot, my korean ceremony makeup and my wedding day makeup...I'm particular on my makeup because I feel as though my face can't handle too much makeup, but she did exactly how I envisioned my "look" with little example and direction. Also I have 6 girls in my bridal party and a mother in law and mother. We all did our makeup before our ceremony which we had to be at by 2pm. So it was a 5am start time...Her partner for the day was amazing as well and delivered the same results to my girls. So glad I went with Luna Bella. I didn't have to worry about a thing as she was reliable and so easy to talk to. Thank you Marie for all you have done for our wedding! read more

I feel awful that it's taken me so long to write this review...especially since Marie is AMAZING and SO freaking talented!! She did my hair for my rehearsal dinner then did my hair/makeup (with assistant) as well as my bridal party for my wedding. I couldn't decide on how to do my hair and basically changed my mind the day before (from half-up to all-down) and she created the perfect hairstyle for me. I have problems with my hair keeping curls, but her wavy curls stayed put the entire day (especially with super windy conditions) and throughout the night! Her makeup is flawless and natural looking (not too heavy). Considering I had quite a big bridal party + my mom, she and her assistant stayed right on schedule! Her prices really can't be beat (we contacted a lot of people) for the HIGH quality of her services. She is super professional, quickly responsive to questions/concerns, and flexible. She is also just flat out awesome and easy to talk to, which was particularly nice considering how nervous I was the morning of the wedding (because I was still working on my vows!). I highly, highly recommend Luna Bella for any makeup/hair needs. You will not be disappointed. read more

I am in LOVE with Marie. She is professional, funny, punctual, and most important of all, an absolute perfectionist when it comes to her area of expertise: makeup! I always turn to Marie to do my makeup for any special occasions (weddings, birthdays, showers, fun night out, and the list goes on), and she never fails to amaze me every single time. Marie is patient and listens to what kind of look I want to achieve for each occasion, and of course, provides recommendation as to what looks good on me or whatnot. Her application technique is flawless and her contouring is amazing! Marie is very easy to work with, efficient, and her pricing is also very reasonable, which is very rare to find in OC. I am so glad that I have a go-to person who can beautify me at the comfort of my own home. Try Marie and you will not be disappointed! read more

After having a very disappointing trial with another hair/makeup artist, I was very nervous about having another trial. I have also been a bridesmaid several times and have always been unsatisfied with the professional makeup look. I guess you can say that I am very, very picky when it comes to my makeup! I ended up finding Marie just a few weeks before my wedding and had an amazing trial with her!! She was extremely patient, listened to my likes and dislikes, and in the end achieved the perfect look. I ended up booking Marie for my wedding hair/makeup and she did an amazing job! Another plus is that she will come to you for both your trial and wedding day. I will be going to Marie again for future special occasion hair/makeup! read more

I am glad that I happened to find Marie on yelp. I hired Marie to do my hair and makeup for my maternity photo session. She came right on time, and got started right away. Since my photo session was later in the afternoon, Marie made sure my curls would last. And it lasted all through the night! I really like her makeup techniques. She did a natural application for me, and the eyeshadow is amazing. It was also the first time that I got airbrushing. Looking forward to booking with her for future occasions! Thanks Marie! read more

Marie Tran is a makeup goddess. Before her, I had a trial with a 15 year experience MUA in Temecula and was left absolutely disappointed as it was worse than my own personal makeup application. I personally love bolder looks and once I saw Marie's gorgeous purple hair and her vibrant Instagram, I knew she was the one. She gave me the most romantic updo that was perfect for my venue and the flawless pop of color makeup style I was looking for. To quote my dad "I didn't know you could look more beautiful than you already do" lol. I had her do both my mom and mother in law hair and makeup too and it was gorgeous. Both my mom and I have oily skin and her airbrush makeup and the updo lasted from morning till night and I was definitely hitting the dance floor hard :) She also provides groom touchup and hairstyling too and my gave my husband on fleek eyebrows on the wedding day. Marie definitely listens to what you want and is very accommodating with your requests. She is very clear and transparent with her pricing and services, which is what I like a lot in a vendor. Plus her skills are definitely impressive and is overall very pleasant and responsive throughout the entire time. Her prices are reasonable in comparison with other vendors but her skills are definitely top notch! I am so happy I went with her and highly recommend her. read more

Marie is very sweet and easy to work with. She listens to your ideas but has years of experience if you're not sure what style you are looking for. If you are looking for a makeup/hair stylist who is versatile, she would be a great fit! She is familiar with many different makeup application styles as well as hairstyles. She is also very personable and easy going. She works very efficiently and was able to do my hair and makeup, as well as makeup for two of my bridesmaid. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a stylist who is fun, reliable, and does great hair and makeup! read more

Marie and her team were amazing! I went without a preview session and didn't provide much direction, and was more than happy with what she did. I don't usually wear makeup and I don't do much with my hair, so I was a little hesitant at first, but she reassured me that it would look good for the photos, and I think it did! Her team (Marie and two assistants) was really efficient, and did hair and makeup for myself, six bridesmaids, and six sisters/moms/aunties in under 6 hours. We had a range of ages and skin/hair types, and all came out looking really great. Plus the team was really friendly and it was fun to have them be a part of the day! read more
