Raven was the makeup artist at my wedding a few weeks ago for myself, four bridesmaids and my mom and I couldn't have asked for a better mua!! She not only helped each of us look like the most beautiful versions of ourselves, she was so sweet and fun to work with! I did a bridal trial with her a few months back and I'm so glad that I did, Raven knew exactly which products worked best for my skin and my makeup still looked stunning over 12 hours after being applied. It photographed beautifully as did my bridesmaid's and mothers's makeup, we were all so happy! I highly recommend Raven for any makeup needs you have! read more

I hired Raven for our February 2017 wedding to be the makeup artist for our very large bridal party - 14 people in total! Raven was incredibly organized and helped coordinate two extra artists and a schedule to make sure everyone was done in time for photos, no small feat! I was so pleased with my bridal look - we'd met the month before for a trial and worked out our plan together - and thought that everyone ended up looking great. We had a wide range of styles/requests as well, and she handled everything from full glam to special occasion natural. Raven and her assistants were early, professional, and got us all ready to go with time to spare! I would definitely recommend Raven's services, and would also use her again for another big event! Thank you Raven!! read more

Raven was a pleasure to work with. Quick to respond, easy scheduling, on time, and her work is honestly top notch. She listened to what I wanted and I was beyond impressed with her work. Normally I would tweak a little here and there to make it exactly what I wanted, but I didn't touch my makeup at all. I was so bummed to wash it off at the end of the day. To top it off she is such a kind soul. I will use her again and again! read more

Raven is the best! I am 50 years old and I was getting married (again ) and I really wanted to get my make up professional done. Initially, I was referred to another make up artist by a friend. I made an appt for a trial run with the "other" make up artist and I told her what I wanted. She had used the spray make up and kept adding more and more makeup to my face. I looked like a corpse. Seriously. The makeup accented my wrinkles (hey I'm 50) and I looked horrible. I came home and washed it all off and wasted $175.00. Then my friend and I came here to Yelp to read reviews and find another make up artist for my wedding. We found Raven and hit the jack pot! I immediately contacted her and she quickly responded. I told her what I needed. That I'm 50 and I wanted to look natural. I didn't want tons of make up, but I wanted to look like a beautiful bride. She told me ways she could apply the makeup and not accent my wrinkles or make me look overdone for my age. I went with her and I also paid for my mother and grown daughter to get their make up done on my wedding day. I didn't have time to do a trial run and I just had to trust that she would do an excellent job on the day of my wedding. I also told her I needed to have my hair done and she referred me to an awesome hair stylist who would also come over with her. The morning of my wedding she came right on time, brought all her make up, a chair, and she actually brought all the supplies and makeup as if I was in a studio. She first did my mother's make up who is 71 years old. My mother looked stunning!! She gently encouraged her to to place false eyes lashes on, and the difference it made was AMAZING. She then did my 25 year old daughter's make up, and she looked absolutely beautiful! Then it was my turn. She quietly went to work on me and worked her magic. When she gave me a mirror to see myself at the end, I looked INCREDIBLE! I looked beautiful. I looked like a bride! Raven did 3 generations of women's makeup and made us all look radiant and gorgeous!! The make up stayed on all day and my daughter left her make up on till the next day, and it still looked perfect. I looked beautiful in all the pictures taken on my wedding day. I can't thank Raven enough for all she did for us. She is so talented and she is also so sweet and has a great personality. I can highly recommend her to anyone of all ages. After all, she made three women between the ages of 25 to 71 look exquisite! read more

Raven is such a sweetheart and was a pleasure to work with. I'm so happy I hired her for my wedding because I knew I was in good hands. She truly is passionate about what she does and pays close attention to detail.

I would definitely recommend Raven to my friends and family. She's the best! Thank you Raven! read more

Raven is the real deal! I'm a boudoir photographer and I've always been very particular about the hair and makeup artist I work with for my clients. Our shoots are super high end and we want someone not only talented but professional on all levels. Raven is both and more. She communicates with the client the moment they walk in. She asks about allergies and ensures that the client gets the look they're going for. She gives recommendations and is always willing to tweak anything to make the client and (me) happy. Her work is truly so beautiful! Raven is a certified makeup artist so she also knows the importance of hygiene. This was key for me when I was looking for a new stylist last year. I'm so lucky to have found a super talented, reliable, honest/ethical individual to work with. Love you Raven! read more

This review is long overdue. Raven is the best ! My wedding was this past November 19. It was really difficult to find Raven, I looked high and low for a quality Makeup artist for my special day and came a cross Raven's profile. Had contacted several others but Raven really caught my attention the minute we first exchanged emails. She was professional and extremely helpful working with what I wanted. I was not able to schedule a makeup-trial due to my busy school, job schedule but Raven didn't let that get in the way. The day of my wedding she set aside additional time just for me to make sure we both had a clear idea of what I was looking for, I was extremely amazed how professional, clean and sweet Raven is. The fact that she took the time to fix one stubborn eyelash over and over again due to my watery eyes was a plus. She made it her goal to make those eyelashes last because she knew I would be crying. Lol She truly is the best at what she does! Thanks Raven, it was a pleasure and you made a long time customer out of me. read more

I found Raven on Instagram when I was looking for a makeup artist for myself and my bridesmaids. From our very first interaction, Raven was nothing but kind and professional. At my bridal trial, she blew me away. I thought I had never looked so beautiful! On my wedding day, not only did she do an amazing job with myself and my bridesmaids but she gracefully handled also doing the mom's, grandmother's and friends of mine's makeup as well! She is beautiful inside and out and will make you feel that way as well. It's too bad that there are only 5 stars on here because Raven deserves more, she's that great :) Book her if you want amazing getting ready experience and if you want to look incredible! read more

Raven is sooooo fantastic! On top of being the biggest sweetheart ever her talent blows me away! I followed her on Instagram for several months before booking her to do my own makeup for my 30th birthday party.

I was so very happy with the results! Thank you Raven for making me feel so beautiful! Your time and dedication to your craft really shine through your work! I continue to follow her on social media and I'm amazed at all the beautiful brides she does! I'm so looking forward to booking Raven again for my next event! read more

Wow! Let me preface by saying, each time I have gotten my makeup done in the past, I'm nervous & feel like a control freak. Knowing Raven's expert reputation for everything glamorous, when I sat down in her chair for my anniversary photoshoot - all of that went away. I knew I could immediately trust her vision. The end result was truly stunning. She is such a natural talent & knows the right way to bring out individual beauty. When I put my dress on & the whole look came together, I literally have never felt more beautiful. The makeup was full coverage, yet not cakey or heavy, and the eyes were dramatic & romantic without being overdone. She contoured my cheeks for the first time & I wish I could do it everyday! I felt like such a babe & will 100% book her again for events in the future & refer her to my friends! read more

First of all, thank you Raven for being absolutely wonderful to work with. You created the image and beauty that every bride dreams of. I will be honest, I do not know a thing about makeup. I had only has my makeup done a few times prior, and those don't even compare to Ravens work. After seeing all of Ravens positive reviews and looking at her website, I immediately reached out. Within minutes of my inquiry I received a response and she is so sweet. I knew at this moment that she was going to be great to work with. We spoke about my vision of having a natural look on my wedding day. I scheduled my trail and was in awe when I took my first look in the mirror. She reminds clients that we are already so beautiful to begin with and this is just a little extra shine ;) My wedding day was such a dream, feeling so beautiful. I would highly recommend Raven for make up. She also works with a wonderful team to assist on wedding day with hair and makeup. All my girls loved everything! Thanks again Raven! read more

So happy with my makeup done by Raven! I was in a friends wedding and as a new mom who doesn't have much time to put makeup on often, I decided to treat myself and get mine done. I got so many compliments on my makeup and it lasted all night even after dancing all night in the So Cal summer heat. I would highly recommend Raven. She took the time to listen and get a feel for what kind of skin I have and what look I was wanting. read more

Raven is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly talented and easy to work with. She was actually "assigned" to me for a photoshoot I did and I just let her do her thing without much guidance, and I was so pleasantly surprised with the outcome! It turned out better than I thought makeup could turn out. She had great communication about what I wanted and she made sure that I was 100% happy and comfortable with it at the end. I've even reached out to her since, and she's been very response and approachable. I really can't say enough about her! I'm saving her card for future events and wedding recommendations for people I know. read more

Raven did my makeup for my COVID backyard wedding and she did such an amazing job. I had a hard time visualizing what I wanted for my makeup since everything was different than I originally planned with our postponed wedding. Raven was able to somehow figure out exactly what I wanted and she did it beautifully. I couldn't have been happier. She was sweet, professional, clean, and an overall great experience. I will absolutely use her again and recommend her to everyone!! read more

Raven is an absolute dream. I was unintentionally a pain in the ass about makeup. I thought I wanted something, we did a trial, I didn't like how it looked (because of my face, not her skills). So, we did a second trail and it was absolutely amazing. Then day of, I panicked again, switched it up and she rolled with it, and then KILLED IT! Each and every time, she just absolutely went above and beyond. She made all my bridesmaids all look incredible, they seriously looked like super models. For each one, she thoughtfully asked them what they wanted, if they had pictures for inspiration, then just went to town and each one was flawless. She did something different for all of them and brought out their natural beauty, all while being pretty much the sweetest, nicest person on planet earth. She was just the best all around. You'd be a dummy not to hire Raven! She's professional, kind, talented, and her pricing is competitive. Truly, you cannot go wrong hiring her. You'll look the best you've ever looked and you'll be showered in compliments the entire time. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. read more

This queen deserves a 10 star review!!!!!!!! I used Raven as my makeup artist for wedding in February. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! This wasn't the first time (I've used her for many weddings/events I have attended in the past) but man was it the BEST! Raven is not only extremely talented, (Like more talent in her pinky finger than in me and my friends combined ) but she's got a beautiful soul. You can't help be be peaceful and calm around her. This was such an added bonus on probably one of the most intense days of your life! We didn't do a trial ( no need. I KNEW she would slay) and she knocked my bridal look out of the park! My girls were also felt the most beautiful ever! Our makeup looked FLAWLESS well into the night full of some serious dance moves. Raven is such a professional. From the moment of contact she is always prompt, thorough, and efficient. Do yourself a huge favor and book her for your next event, especially your wedding! I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!!!!!! read more

Raven did my makeup for my wedding, along with my mom's, grandmother's, and 5 of my bridesmaids'. She blew all of us away with her skill, creativity, and sweetness. Among that big group, we had so many different skin types, eye shapes, and styles wanted, but Raven managed to exceed EVERY single one of their expectations. I had raved about her after my trial, so it was priceless seeing each one of them look in the mirror and have their jaws hit the floor (I just wanted to say "I told you so!!"). On top of the fact that she absolutely rocks at what she does, she was SO sweet, flexible, and positive. She finds the beauty in each of her clients and just brings more attention to it. We will all be using Raven for future events, and we cannot wait to see her again! read more
