If you are looking for that perfect glam glow look, look no further! I was very "lucky" to have stumbled across Lucky's work and just fell in love with her work. I found her through Instagram and realized she had the perfect wedding look I was looking for. Soft, glam, romantic, not overly caked on is the makeup look I wanted for my wedding. I did my makeup trial with Lucky and couldn't be any happier. You know that feeling when you just absolutely love your makeup and you can't get over it? This was how I felt. On top of it all, Lucky is down to earth and very sweet. She pays attention to your needs and your critics and just knows how to work the Lucky magic. I can't wait to book her again for an upcoming event. I promise you, you won't regret! read more

I had the most amazing experience working with Lucky and Stephanie. They made the entire process easy and enjoyable. I attended my girlfriend's wedding and was blown away with how beautiful she looked. I knew that I had to get Lucky and Stephanie for my big day. I was extremely fortunate to have them glam me up for both my Cambodian and Western ceremonies. To be honest, I was a little nervous about our make up trial because I knew it was going to take a few hours and spending this amount of time with two strangers might be a little awkward BUT I was so wrong. We chatted the entire time like old friends! For my Cambodian Ceremony, the girls showed up promptly at 5AM and worked their magic. I had a beautiful updo and my make up was perfect. The girls came back around 2PM and got me ready for the Western Ceremony. Stephanie gave me perfect romantic waves and Lucky worked her magic again and transformed my make up for the evening. I loved everything about my look. Lucky even gave me a touch up that included a full Mac lipstick, blotting sheets, and bobby pins. If you're still looking for a glam team, you can stop searching. No one compares to this duo team :) I will definitely go to Lucky and Stephanie for any future events. read more

I got my makeup done for an event because I'd be taking a lot of pictures. I think there can be a misconception with doing makeup "for pictures" because in person it can look a little crazy. The soft glam that Lucky does looks bomb in pictures AND in person! Getting my makeup done by Lucky was such a treat. She made sure my skin was pampered and prepped before she started which makes such a difference in application. I told her about my concern with having hooded eyelids which can make applying eyeshadow a bit of a challenge. Lucky made sure that I was happy with the shape she created. She asked to see pictures of how I normally do my eyebrows to make sure she got that right too - insisting that I let her know if anything needed to be tweaked. I also got body bronzing for this special occasion. Never had any kind of bronzer/tanning experience but it was so nice to be glowy all over! So happy with the results, thank you Lucky!!! read more

I didn't want to wash my hair and face for both my engagement and wedding session. THAT is how amazing Lucky and her team is. I am so glad I invested a little more for my hair and make up. Lucky and her team were very professional, talented and easy-going. I originally was trying to book a make up trail with a different vendor that I was really unsure with hair and make up (Cambodian outfit vendor that come with hair and make up package) but she wasn't available the day that I needed her. In desperation, I looked through yelp and came across Lucky profile, I was hesitate so I didn't email her right away and then through out the week I came across her social media multiple times. It was a sign! So I finally emailed her and she replied back swiftly, and we schedule for my engagement session. Lucky is very professional! very patient, and extremely talented. She took her time with my hair and make up that day to make sure everything was perfect, for my engagement shoot. There was no question around it, I had to book Lucky for my wedding day. So I did. :) read more

Lucky and her team are absolutely AMAZING!!! When I originally starting looking for a wedding makeup artist, I wanted someone who knew how to do makeup for Asians since I, along with all my bridesmaids, are Asian. Before our trial, she had me send her a photo of an example of the look I was going for, focusing on every little detail. She also had me send her a photo of my "going out look" so that she had an idea of what I was comfortable with. This was just one way she went above and beyond. Stephanie is her main hairstylist who was so sweet as well! I couldn't pinpoint how I wanted to do my hair for a few months. I kept changing my mind and sent her different photos of ideas. She was so patient and helped me figure out the look I was wanted & one I was comfortable with. On my wedding day, my hair was PERFECT! Couldn't be happier, she definitely nailed it! All my bridesmaids loved Lucky and her team also. They did a great job enhancing everyone's look from our normal day-to-day look without making us look like a completely different person. My husband even loved my look and complimented me multiple times that day! All in all, hair and makeup were beyond my expectations. The last thing you need on your wedding day is to hate your makeup and/or hair and Lucky does an excellent job making sure you're happy & comfortable with the entire look. Following my wedding, I ended up asking Lucky to come over for makeup lessons on how to do an everyday look & a going out look. (Hubby was obviously 100% on board with this.) She was so organized during the session and even gave me a little sample bag to keep! Before she left, she prepared notes for me, wrote down all the makeup I used during our lesson and noted where to apply it. I've been so impressed with her professionalism since day one. SO happy I found her, Lucky and her team are seriously the BEST! I definitely recommend her to everyone! read more

Lucky and Stephanie (her frequent hair partner) were absolutely wonderful professionals who did my hair and makeup for our engagement photo shoot. I found Lucky on Yelp, fell in love with her work on her website and Instagram account, then reached out. She was very responsive to my emails and is very organized. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, she helped me balance my daily look with a softer engagement glam. I love how the look turned out. I appreciate her timeliness with communication and that they came to my apartment for the appointment. My makeup lasted the whole day, and I was sad to wash it off at the end of the night. read more

I hired Lucky to do my wedding make up and I am so glad I did! She did such an amazing job. I've never felt prettier. She did my make up, as well as my bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law. She figured out exactly what to do for each girl's face/skin type and really customized the make up to flatter each person. Definitely not just average wedding make up. Everyone ended up looking like they could be models. She also recommended another girl she works with for hair- Steph. Thank god steph was also available for my wedding date- I literally couldn't have found a better hair stylist if I had tried. Steph is a genius and a perfectionist, like Lucky. Together, they just nailed it. Everyone was so happy with how they looked. And as an added bonus, they are some of the sweetest girls and are so calm and flexible. If you're looking for the best, don't look any further... you can't do better than these two. read more

I hired Lucky for my engagement photos and wedding and could not be happier with her work. Lucky's talent in bringing out the very best of you is truly unbeatable. I asked for natural, long-lasting, and beautiful makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, my mother, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law for my wedding - and Lucky delivered beyond my wildest expectations. Our faces were perfectly airbrushed and our makeup needed little to no touch-ups all day. All of my girls looked fantastic in my wedding pictures and video and I felt my most beautiful ever thanks to Lucky's talented eyes and hands. She is definitely an artist. One of my bridesmaids, who is herself a licensed makeup artist, was so pleased with Lucky's handiwork that she also hired Lucky for her own engagement and wedding photos the following year. Lucky isn't just professional and talented, she is kind and very upbeat--even at 6am at the start of a very long day for her. Looking for picture perfect beauty for your special day? Look no further. Lucky is your girl, without a doubt. read more

Lucky & Steph are such the dream team (Lucky for make-up & Steph for hair). They definitely created beautiful looks for me and my girls on my wedding day! For me personally, I'm very particular about my make-up and hair and Lucky & Steph were so patient, attentive, and were able to give me the look that I wanted! They're very talented and know how to achieve what you're looking for because they communicate very well and are open to feedback, and actually welcome it because they want to get it right. Besides their work, they are just so sweet & down-to-earth gals. We literally could talk about anything and everything. Felt so comfortable around them. The next time I need to get dolled up, I will definitely be hitting them up! I would love to work with them again. read more

Lucky is an amazing makeup artist. She has done makeup for my bridal party and for my maternity shoot. She is very attentive to your needs. She will makes sure you get the look you want for the event your going to. Having Pinterest photos of the look will definitely help a lot too! Her partner in crime, Hair by Stephanie is also amazing. Overall, I love getting my hair and makeup done with both of them because it's always party...definitely when it doesn't hurt when there's a little bubbly to enjoy there also. read more

If you get the opportunity to ever need your makeup professionally done, look no further than Lucky. I followed her work for quite some time on social media and was pretty confident I could trust her to make me look beautiful on my big day. I reached out to Lucky via email and she responded happily and promptly. Few exchange back and forth in email, we met in person for coffee and knew she was my gal! Her charisma, love for makeup, extensive skill and background, as well as getting to know her on a personal level and her making sure she not only knew about me, but my wedding party had me sold. She asked so many details when we first met and even told me about her holistic skin care secrets - I felt like we were long lost friends. From meeting to the day before my wedding, Lucky kept all lines of communication open and never made me feel like I was bothering her. She checked up on me periodically too to ensure wedding planning was going smoothly for me - who else does that!? Let me mention that I booked her and her super awesome sidekick Stephanie for both hair and makeup for the wedding and trial. For the trial, she was prompt and took her time to make sure she delivered on the look I had envisioned. Day of the wedding, she and entourage were also prompt and took care of my bridal party and family. Everyone was stunning! I can't recommend Lucky enough. Her work speaks for itself but meeting her in person, you will feel that she is the right choice. read more

Planning a wedding is already so stressful, what more when trying to find your perfect glam team for your big day. My friend recommended Lucky and Stephanie for hair and make up. I emailed them and right away we set up a meeting. For my trial, they came to my house (on time) lol and we got to work. Lucky helped me so much in deciding how my make up should be done. I showed her pictures of make up styles and BAM! She was sooooo on point. I also showed Stephanie pictures of what I wanted and she was so patient with me and we finally decided how to do my hair and it turned out perfect. I loved their work so much, that not only did I book them for my engagement photos and wedding, I also booked them for my bridal shower. They are so sweet, patient, and very professional. My bridesmaids loved their work as well. Book them! You will definitely won't have any regrets! read more

Lucky and her hair stylist, Stephanie, are the ultimate dream team!!! They are amazing at what they do and are so pleasant to be around. I met Lucky through mutual friends and after following her work for a few years, I always considered her for my "big day". However, after my best friend hired her for her wedding, that consideration turned into a definite 'hell yes'! Lucky and Stephanie spent about 5 hours prepping us the morning of and it was non-stop good vibes. My friends and I adore them! Fast forward to my wedding day: I was a little stressed out the morning of because things were running late. Lucky and Steph must have picked up on to how stressed I was and the few little things I still had to take care of, so in an effort to give me more time, they found a way to change up the schedule last minute so I can get my hair and makeup done at the same time. When they were done with their magic - my goodness - I was so happy that I felt some of the stress melt off my shoulders already! My makeup and hair was exactly how I imagined it would be. I felt beautiful! Might I also mention that day was very hot (yeah, lucky me), but they gave me a touch-up kit that helped me with all the sweat (and the tears, lol)! After they finished and cleaned up, they handed me a very sweet wedding card. I don't know if they do this for everyone since I've known them a while, but that small, sweet gesture meant so much to me! If you have any hesitation on hiring Lucky and Steph, DON'T! You will not be disappointed! They do whatever they can to make you feel happy and special. Thank you again, Lucky and Steph!! I wish you both nothing but the best!!! read more

As a Wedding Photographer who has had the honor to work with Lucky on several occasions, I can't rave enough about her and her hair stylist partner Stephanie. I literally refer them to all of my brides if they are looking for a makeup and hair stylist for numerous reasons: 1. The make up and hair always looks freaking stunning, especially in photographs which is very important. Brides literally walk out of the makeup chair looking like golden goddesses or Victoria Secret Models. Perhaps because Lucky and Steph do this professionally, full time, on actual models for commercial shoots as well. 2. Lucky can work on any skin tone and is not limited to skin colors and matching faces to the body. As a photographer, I unfortunately see some makeup artists make brides faces super white compared to their bodies, and it doesn't photograph well, especially with flash photography. But not Lucky! She knows how to match your face to skin tone and makes it airbrushed and absolutely flawless for photos. 3. Lucky is aware of time when it comes to a wedding day. When I show up to the bride's room, Lucky is usually finishing up and getting the bridesmaids and bride ready to go for pictures. I appreciate this truly because this doesn't limit our time with images! Lucky is also such a sweet, kind lady who will listen to all your request and make you look drop dead gorgeous on your wedding day or event. Hire Lucky now! Go!!! Look no further. read more

I was very impressed with my wedding day makeup that Lucky provided. She made me feel so relaxed during the chaos of the day! Incredibly patient and detail oriented. The makeup work was beautiful for each of the various styles requested by my bridesmaids. She made everything very easy and convenient, and left me with a little bag of touch up essentials. I would highly recommend Lucky and her services! read more

Disclaimer: This review is for services in October 2015 :) I was lucky (get it hehehe) enough to be able to book Lucky for my October reception. Even though I am not fortunate enough to have a west coast zip code, she was able to fit me in while she was vacationing on the east coast just in time for my reception. Lucky really helped calm my nerves; not only was there the whole wedding reception details that I had to worry about, but I was also anxious about my makeup as I don't really get glamed up on the regular. Since we had to communicate mostly via emails and texts, I sent her a few looks and she was able to pinpoint exactly what it was in each picture what I liked about them in order to give me a full look and I did have a lot on my want list: nice, classic, timeless makeup, glowing look, all the while hiding any blemishes and redness without looking like a cartoon or someone other than me. What we ended up with was a perfect glowing look as I didn't want to look "too made up". Although she is not a hair stylist, she also did my hair (and it stayed up the entire night and during the after party too!) I felt absolutely beautiful on my day and my friends even complimented her work saying my makeup was on fleek! I was floored because my name and "on fleek" have never been used together in a sentence before!! Lucky also did my grandmother's and my BIL's girlfriends makeup. After she was done, they just sat there, admiring their reflections in the mirror. We just couldn't believe the magic she was able to create for us, everyone looked and felt so beautiful and amazing. This might be a cliche thing to say, but when you feel confident, you will radiate that and everyone around you will see. Well, that night, the 3 of us did just that! Another thing about Lucky besides her awesome makeup skills is her demeanor. During the makeup session, there was chaos all around us; people trying to get ready; coordinators on the phone figuring out where decorations and boxes were; catering issues. It really was a bit frazzling; but Lucky stayed her course and remained really calm. She helped create this pocket of zen-ness that really just allowed me to be in the moment before the party began. This, I think is so important for the bride to be because seriously, that day that you have been planning for months/years will go by in a blink of an eye and you can get so caught up in everything that you don't actually enjoy your day. read more

I mean, just look at their portfolio! Lucky and team exceeded my expectations for my wedding. The makeup and hair was beautiful on all of my girls and it lasted all night, even throughout all the crying. They really made sure my vision came to life and were all so fun to work with! I wish they could do my hair and makeup every day- they're such a dream team! I had no hesitations booking them. If you enjoy food, the bachelor, dogs.. You'll have endless laughs with them! Thank you, Lucky and Steph!! read more

Lucky and Steph did my HMUA for our civil wedding. They are both very nice and they ask what you what make up and hair you like beforehand.

Lucky and her team are very professional! Lucky's team did my makeup and hair for one of my best friend's wedding. I was skeptical at first about getting my makeup done because I have Asian eyes and sometimes it doesn't come out right in pictures. She was able to do my makeup exactly how I do my makeup and then some! Also, the product she uses are high quality and I did not get any break outs. I was so happy with the results. I recommend Lucky and her team! I am definitely going to book my makeup and hair when I get married. :) read more

I cannot thank Lucky enough for how beautiful she made me look on my wedding day. From our trial to the day of she made everything so easy, convenient and flawless. Every single one of my bridesmaids could not stop talking about how beautiful they felt and looked. Our makeup lasted throughout the whole evening and I didn't even do ONE touch up the entire day. Not only is she affordable but her kindness and customer service makes her even more amazing and I could not image my wedding day with her and Steph. Thank you so much lucky for making my day perfect. I will 100% use her in the future and have also sent many future brides her way! read more

I could not have been happier with my makeup and hair by Lucky! My sister hired her for her wedding. Lucky and her team were professional, detailed, and did amazing makeup and hair. I have been in many weddings and this was the first time I was actually more than satisfied with my hair and makeup. I was sweaty and crying throughout the wedding festivities and my makeup stayed on perfectly. My hair felt secure and never came out while I was jumping and dancing through the night.

I hired Lucky for my engagement photos and wedding after my brother in law who has worked with her before at a previous wedding recommended her to me. Can I just say, best makeup artist out there, and Stephanie, her hair stylist, was amazing too! Not only did they make me look beautiful for both occasions but they both made me feel special. Their customer service was impeccable. To top it all off, they drove all the way from Long Beach, Ca to Orcutt, Ca for my big day to do my make up and hair. Did I mention that it is a 4 hour drive! It seriously can't get much better than that. I will definitely be hiring them again! If you are looking for a make up artist and hair stylist but are scared of getting let down, please do yourself a favor and call Lucky. You won't be disappointed! read more

I contacted Lucky a few months before my wedding and like any other bride, I had my options open. I reached out to three other MAU and Lucky was the first to respond, she was very professional and informed me of her prices per bride and bridesmaids (which are pretty great, for the AMAZING work Lucky and Stephanie do) BTW, Stephanie is the hairstylist! So already she had my attention, I no longer had to look for someone to do my hair!! A Brides dream come true (less work). So the next step was to meet these two ladies, I was a bit nervous but when they arrived to my house I already knew it would all be OK. They were very friendly and helpful when it came to choosing a style. I asked Lucky to Create a simple natural look, i don't wear much make up, so i was a bit scared my face was going to look like a piece of cake... but it didn't!! Lucky did a fantastic job and the best thing was that this was just the trial so I knew on my wedding day it would look even better. In regards to my hair, I had an idea of what I wanted but Stephanie reassured me of my style and did it!! It looked great! It was an updo, and with updos the hardest part is to hold it up... but it lasted all day and so did the make up. The day of the wedding, went so smooth.. Lucky and Stephanie arrived on time and got all the girls and myself ready in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend both of these lovely ladies!! read more

Lucky is incredible! Not only is she super professional, easy to work with, efficient with time but she brings that little extra: her amazingly like-able personality and passion for what she does shines through. Although myself and my team have only had the pleasure to work with her once, she definitely stood out from the hundreds of other vendors we've worked with. You will be extremely happy with Lucky! - Elmer, tnkphoto read more

Can I give Lucky more than 5 stars? Seriously, she's like a MAGICIAN!! She did my makeup for my bridal shower and my wedding and it was FLAWLESS! Anyone who knows me knows that I HATE having my picture taken. I'm so awkwardly unphotogenic. But Lucky made me feel beautiful and all the pictures turned out so well! She exceeded all of my expectations. Seriously had no idea that it was even possible for my skin to look that smooth. I wish I could have her do my makeup every day for the rest of my life. She's also super sweet and funny. She did my trial makeup at my friend's house and my friends all adored her. My mother who is also super hard to please could not stop complimenting my makeup! Seriously best decision ever. Check out her gorgeous Instagram if you need more proof of how amazing she is! read more

Ok so I'm using my husband's Yelp account because it's just easier. First off, this review is loooong overdue, I got married about 1.5 years ago. Secondly, you'd be lucky to have Lucky glam you up! I don't want to make this too long, but I just want to tell you that she's so patient and kind throughout the process. I had an emergency on my trial date and she was so kind to reschedule to do my trial for my engagement picture photo shoot! When my bridesmaids and I were getting ready for the big day, we were having a grand time as if we've been friends for years. Made my day that much more special. She also covered my giant tattoos on my back and also a medium tattoo on my friend! You can find the pic on her Instagram! I'm very happy with my decision to go with Lucky and you will be too! Ladies, it's all about your dress, hair, and makeup so don't settle! read more

Lucky and her hairstylist, Stephanie, are the absolute DREAM TEAM! Not only are they talented and professional, but they're two of the sweetest ladies you'll ever meet. I'm ridiculously picky about hair and makeup and ended up having two trials, and not once did I sense any frustration with Lucky. If anything, she sensed my unhappiness with the first look and pushed for us to have a second. Now that is excellent customer service! I'd also like to mention how I was an absolute mess when I read hubby's card (think Kim K. ugly cry), and this was right after I had just gotten my makeup done, lol. Lucky fixed me right back up and you couldn't tell that I had been crying at all. My makeup lasted well into the evening (and I sweat A LOT!) and I felt beautiful all day. :) Any qualms you have about hiring a makeup artist will be put to rest when you hire Lucky. We're counting down the days til the next girl in our group gets married so we can rendezvous with Lucky and Stephanie again! lol! read more

Lucky is AWESOME!!! As a husband who strives to make sure his wife is happy, Lucky made the job easy! As many may already know, weddings can be a stressful event. My wife happens to be very particular about her makeup and its proper application. After Lucky's trial with my wife, I heard nothing but glowing compliments about her. I was so relieved to hear this and I am thrilled that my wife was so ecstatic to have booked her for our special day. Lucky is talented, professional, fun and easy-going. I want to put you other viewers reading this review at ease with this different perspective. Thank you again Lucky for making my wife look amazing and so beautiful on her special wedding day! read more

Lucky is by far the most amazing and talented makeup artist! I hired for my wedding (back in March) and she went above and beyond all my expectations! I have my bridesmaid to thank for finding her thru Instagram and I was impressed by all her posts that I knew I had to have a trial with her. She was so nice from the start and willing to accommodate my trial for when I was flying into Los Angeles because I don't live in that area. She opened up her schedule and made it happen, even drive over to my friend's house to where I was staying and do my trial there. Her and Stephanie (hair stylist) work together and really make you feel absolutely beautiful! All my bridesmaids were beyond pleased with their makeup and hair! She treated me and made me feel like a queen, having a spa treatment, before my wedding. She used eye patches, a lip treatment, she went above and beyond. My one bridezilla moment was when I started overthinking the hair style I picked and two days before my wedding, they were willing to accommodate their schedule- Stephanie met up with me again to do another trial, she did both options I wanted and I was able to decide. You can tell that Lucky truly cares about making a bride feel special. She also accommodated my request to add more people last minute for makeup. Oh and the makeup and hair lasted all day! My pictures came absolutely perfect and it's all thanks to her! You will not regret hiring her for your big day! read more
