She…read moreliterally makes you feel so beautiful and pulls out your natural features through her makeup artistry. As a Filipino, and my bridesmaids being Vietnamese and Filipino, I had original hesitation in booking a makeup artist bc they never get my face shade correct! It's always too light. But Emily was perfect. She did both my trial makeup for engagement photos and 6 bridesmaids/1 bride for the day-of wedding makeup and all my bridesmaids were very happy with her as well. They were actually pleasantly surprised they liked their makeup! It's nice that travel is complimentary if your wedding location is within 15 miles of her. Wedding makeup can get pricy so make sure you research and look at examples to see if their artistry fits your personality and style. I'm fortunate I found Emily for me!

I got referred by a coworker to Emily and I'm extremely grateful for having her do my makeup. My…read morefirst impressions of Emily was she was sweet, accommodating, and I felt very comfortable being around her. For some reason, I normally get nervous getting my makeup done. I got my makeup done for a wedding. I came a little unprepared, but I let her know that I'd like a fresh, natural look, and a smokey eye. The makeup she used felt so nice and light on. She worked fast and had time to give me tips on doing my own makeup as well. I'm very happy with how my makeup turned out even though I'm not use to having a darker smokey eye. I trusted her and I left a happy camper. Also, my makeup lasted all day (8am-1am). How amazing is that? The makeup literally looked flawless throughout the day. The only thing I would change for next time is to ask for better coverage on my scars and to bring a pic of how I usually do my brows. Overall, I'll be hiring Emily for my future events.

THIS girl... THIS girl right here... TURNED ME INTO A HOT CHICK! Lol…read more Everyone at my party (and constant strangers at the bar we were at) was freaking out all night. I watched so many people look for me and not realize I was right by them because they didn't even recognize me hahahah. Which is EXACTLY what I wanted! To top that off though, and what really made me want to write a review, was Kandice's professionalism and her desire to please. Everything from her email signature stating what her email/office hours are, to taking credit card info upfront online, to having an away message when she was on a short vacation... Extremely respectable. It's so easy to trust someone that takes pride in their business, has proper grammar/capitalization, etc. Not all that easy to find in SD. As far as her "desire to please"... She was SO accommodating. The exact opposite of snooty which kept shocking me from a young female that likes makeup in Southern CA haha. Heck, when I mentioned that I would be late because parking was hard to find, she even offered to walk downstairs to come meet me and show me where to park. And that's just one example. :) If I ever get married I would be LUCKY to have her as my right-hand!

As a wedding photographer, she is at the top of my list when I send my clients referrals! Do you want to feel like the best, most beautiful and authentic version of yourself on your big day? Then Lindsey is a must hire. She makes everyone feel safe, and heard. She has done my makeup many times and I felt glam but natural. When my sister in law was looking for someone I knew right away who we were going to call. She can hit whatever style you are going for, this girl has worked in the upper echelon, celebrities and in the fashion industry, so truly she has the ability to create and execute any style. Cannot recommend her more!

Lindsey is contagiously positive and a realist at the same time and so flipping supportive. She was also great at giving gentle, honest opinions throughout and listening to what I wanted/my vision of the makeup. I did not realize that I was hiring not only a makeup artist but an immediate bestie for my wedding days! Lindsey did my makeup so beautifully. I wanted something natural, but not too natural. I wanted to look and feel like a queen, and Lindsey did just that. There were many moments during both wedding days when things were chaotic, stressful, and not going as planned. Lindsey was there for all of those moments, including the tears, and she was so unbelievably supportive and then would fix my makeup that I had cried away lol. Lindsey brings such warm, healing, and positive energy. I am SO grateful I chose her. She is worth every penny...AND MORE. I would pay literally any price to have her do my makeup again. She did a lovely job with my makeup and giving life advice. Idk how i would have made it through my wedding weekend without her. I completely recommend!! Do yourself a favor and book her!!! :)

Chantal is the most gentle and caring makeup artist I have ever had the pleasure of working with…read more We made all my arrangements virtually because I live further away, and she invested time to let me interview her, talk about my skin concerns, and she advised me on foundation and makeup shades via picture and FaceTime and those matches were better than any MUA that has matched me in-person. She gave me two very unique looks for my sister-in-laws wedding; one hot look for the rehearsal dinner and one princess look for the wedding. She also dressed my two daughters with age appropriate make-up. She's no longer my MUA, I consider her a friend because how easy it was to fall in love with her gentle disposition and pure love to see her clients happy. I have also requested online makeup tutoring from her so I can continue to use the makeup she recommended for me and finally wear it with confidence. Thanks.

Initially when we spoke she was very upfront with her pricing which I appreciated and felt was reasonable. Of course we did the trial which she was kind enough to coordinate with my engagement shoot. She nailed the look I was going for on the first try and my engagement session went on without a hitch. Flash forward to my wedding and Alexis continued with her streak of amazingness. She created a perfect timeline that flowed well with our diy wedding/crazy morning and when things popped up unexpectedly she was flexible. Not only was I happy but all my bridesmaids and family kept telling me what a great job she had done on their makeup as well. All in all, Alexis is a true professional with great talent. If you're unsure if you should book her, don't hesitate. She's such a sweetheart and she definitely takes her job seriously.

Mila was amazing from start to finish. She was professional, talented, kind, and made everyone feel so comfortable and beautiful.

We received so many compliments on our makeup throughout the day! My bridesmaids and I were so happy with how everything turned out, and Mila played such a special part in making my wedding day even more memorable.

She is incredibly talented and truly uses your face as a canvas, enhancing your best features while still making you feel like yourself. My makeup was absolutely flawless, photographed beautifully in natural light, and stayed perfectly in place all night long without feeling heavy. Not only is she a master of her craft, but her warm and soothing personality made the entire prep process so much fun! She was incredibly professional, arrived on time, and knew exactly how to tailor a high-glam look to suit my personal style and face shape. The dimension she created with the eyeshadow and contour was breathtaking, and the makeup looked just as stunning in person as it did in the final photos. She is an absolute perfectionist in the best way possible! Additionally Mila nailed my updo perfectly! Her artistic vision for beautification is sensationally stunning! Thank you Mila for providing an exceptional experience I've ever had. Several guests at the wedding thought I was a "beauty queen! I've never had that compliment from strangers.

Whatever you receive at your trial, multiply by 100000 because her talent, expertise, and skill will BLOW YOU AWAY on wedding day. I looked in that mirror and was taken aback by how incredible her technique and attention to detail are. She is by far, hands down, the most talented MUA I have ever seen. The Instagram pictures and videos do not even do her work justice. Some key highlights: My makeup lasted through 85+ degree weather and crazy humidity from 11 AM to 2 AM (THE NEXT DAY) without a single touch up. The makeup ATE even with flash hours after dancing (and sweating) ALL night. Every single person who saw me complimented my makeup and said it was the perfect amount of glam while still feeling and looking like me. BOOK HER NOW before reading the rest of this review!!! MOST importantly, there is something so special about Kyla that is hard to put into words. Her energy is infectious, and she brings incredible vibes to every room she is in. She makes everyone feel so included and beautiful, regardless if they chose to get their makeup done or not. My sister (MOH) loved Kyla SO much, that she already booked Kyla for her wedding in NYC next year. We cannot wait to celebrate with Kyla again!! And I am so grateful and excited to look and feel as pretty as I did this year, one more time, for my sister's wedding!!!!!

From my initial makeup trial, I immediately felt at ease and so confident in her work. Chatting with Kyla felt like talking to an old friend -- her warm, bubbly personality and professionalism shined throughout the entire weekend! She brought the positive energy and hype vibes even at 5:30am! Through all my nerves and anxiety over the big day, she brought a sense of calm and fun! Kyla genuinely listened to my concerns, any insecurities, and made me feel effortlessly beautiful for my welcome night and traditional Indian wedding ceremony! I absolutely love how Kyla has experience working with women of all different shades, tones, and ages. Her expertise was truly evident! I also had my mom who is in her 70s, and my cousin receive glam (they both rarely wear makeup) and they were beyond pleased and felt beautiful! I was glowing the whole day and felt like a gorgeous bride! The bridal glam I went with was the perfect blend of a softer approach with a touch emphasizing my darker features, eyes, and the most stunning blush placement and longevity. Her artistry truly balanced and highlighted my features so beautifully. Kyla is a queen -- the absolute best & you won't be disappointed!
