I messaged Roya last minute to see if she can do my graduation photoshoot makeup and luckily she…read morewas available! Roya immediately responded which I appreciated because it was so last minute and I needed to find someone and I'm glad I found Roya. First, when I say Roya has everything, she has EVERYTHING. From skincare to prep your skin, to makeup, to brushes, to etc. which was nice because I forgot my foundation but she had the makeup foundation I use and color! Phew, I was saved. I showed Roya what I was wearing and what I don't want and I let her do the rest. After all, she is a makeup artist and she knows what is best therefore I trusted her and she did not disappoint. Roya is great at enhancing your beauty and making sure your face is not all caked up. The hardest part for me with makeup is putting falsies on since my eyes are sensitive and I tear up but she let me know that she is great at it and I won't feel it or tear up and guess what?! I didn't!!! I was so shocked and amazed!!! Overall I fell in love with my makeup, Roya is wonderful and definitely someone I will return back to for doing my makeup! I am so excited for another event so she can do my makeup. My makeup lasted my whole photoshoot and throughout the night! Thank you roya!

I had Michelle as my makeup artist for my wedding last month (May 2026) and I absolutely loved how…read moremy makeup turned out! I felt so beautiful and confident and it truly allowed me to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest. Most importantly, I still felt like "me" while I was all glammed up and that truly made all the difference. She also did my mom and my mother-in-law's makeup and they both looked beautiful! Before I found Michelle, I did one bridal makeup trial with someone else that went... horribly. It was my first time having my makeup professional done and I was shocked at how bad it was for the cost. After that experience I almost gave up hope and considered doing my own makeup on my wedding day. Several months later, I decided to look into makeup artists again and found Michelle on instagram (@michellevalentine_beauty) and I am so happy I did. Through my process of trialing two different makeup artists, I can fully recognize how talented Michelle is at what she does. Makeup, especially bridal makeup, is extremely difficult. Everyone has such unique facial features and different personal preferences on how they like different parts of their makeup done. You also want the makeup to be heavy enough to show up in photos and last the whole day, but not look crazy and cakey in person. Michelle was able to strike the perfect balance of all of these things, and was very receptive to all of my feedback on what I wanted, no matter how minor the detail was. Apart from the makeup, Michelle is a very kind and genuine person who is easy to talk to. The makeup takes ~2-3 hours so having a makeup artist you get along with is definitely a bonus. She also did a color analysis for me during my trial which was super thorough and insightful, and even covered what fabrics would look good on me. In terms of cost, Michelle's prices were comparable to the first MUA I trialed and based on my research, she is on the more affordable side for the Bay Area. In terms of scheduling, my wedding was on a Friday during busy season (May) and I booked her 5 months in advance (in December). For the trial, her weekends were booked solid so I had to do it on a weekday, so definitely try to book far in advance for a weekend spot. The trial is so important though so I would not recommend skipping it! Michelle also offers hair services but I had already booked my hairstylist a few months before I found her so I did not end up getting my hair done by her, however she has demonstrated ability in different hairstyles if you look at her instagram! In summary, Michelle is an extremely talented and kind makeup artist that will ensure you look and feel your best on your wedding day! Rest assured you'll be in good hands :)

I scheduled a hair and makeup trial with her a bit before my wedding, which took place in her lovely home studio. Michelle was patient and receptive to my vision, taking time to get my makeup exactly how I liked it and experimenting with different lash looks. When it came time for my wedding, I made a last minute change on how I wanted to do my hair. Michelle was flexible and had left buffer time in the schedule so that we didn't need to be rushed. She gave me advice on what hairstyle might suit my face better. I absolutely loved how my hair and makeup turned out - it photographed beautifully and stayed put the whole night. Michelle has a talent for creating natural looks that complement your natural tones. Her assistants, Ti and Dan Tam, were also amazing and helped my bridesmaids, mom, and husband's mother get their hair and makeup done. It was many of their first time getting makeup/hair done professionally, and Michelle and her team helped make everyone feel comfortable. Thank you so much Michelle!
