Definitely a no. She was an awful MUA to work with, talked crap about other clients and MUA's the entire time. Money wasted and just an experience with a miserable person. She was supposed to do my friends makeup for her wedding and canceled last munure to do a bigger event. read more

Lindsay Ambrosio is the absolute BEST! She did my makeup and the makeup for my girls for my wedding and everyone looked absolutely marvelous. She takes the time to talk to you to find out what look you want and she then takes the time to give. you what you want, talking you through the entire process, so my makeup was more glam and my girls all wanted more subtle and we all got exactly what we wanted. One of my daughters has very sensitive skin and after wearing eyeshadow, she almost always ends up with puffy eyes. Lindsay worked with her and the next day, there were NO PUFFY eyes! What a wonderful job and a memorable time we shared with Lindsay on my special day. read more

Lindsay did my wedding make-up, and I felt beautiful! Even after a few tears were shed, my make-up stayed put. I was a little concerned about wearing fake lashes because I never had worn them before, but I didn't even notice they were on. My make-up was elegant yet natural at the same time. I looked like me, only better! Whether you know the exact MAC eyeshadow shade you want or are completely clueless, Lindsay will create the perfect look for you. I wish I could afford to have her do my make-up everyday. Lindsay is very friendly and passionate about her work. Make sure to request a little smear of the lipstick she uses if you are getting make-up done for an event that lasts longer than an hour. My lipstick was completely off before the reception even started. read more

Lindsay is absolutely amazing at makeup -- for whatever occasion you may need her! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding last year where she did everyone's makeup, and I was amazed not only by her ability to make us all look like the perfect versions of ourselves, but also her ability to listen to what everyone liked/wanted, and to adapt it to what would also look good on every type of face. She is an absolute professional at what she does, but also fun to be around (which matters if you're going to spend half the day with someone on your wedding day). She was literally the 1st person I contacted once I booked my wedding venue/date -- where she did the makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and both moms this last weekend. Everyone looked absolutely amazing, and also perfect for the occasion (since I know she also does things like modeling shoots with much more glam makeup). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lindsay for any special occasion you may have! read more

Lindsay Ambrosio knows her makeup! She is knowledgable on products and even holds seminars to help Women understand how to wear makeup. I too worked around her and she supports all local makeup artists. She is always booked with weddings and events and she has even worked for Playboy(which sorry Catherine but Playboy is classy not trashy) Obviously you know when a makeup artist is amazing when people are booking her for any and all events. I'm happy that Denver has a reliable Makeup artist that doesn't over charge you and helps you understand how to wear every day makeup! Keep up the beautiful work you do Lindsay! read more

Lindsay's work is wonderful! She did my makeup for my wedding and I looked just as incredible at the end of the night as I did for my first look photos! My MOH also had Lindsay do her makeup as well as my mom. Doing makeup on a couple of 30 year olds with good skin is one thing, but she made my 56 year old mom look FANTASTIC! My mom was super happy and confident, which is what any bride would want for her mom on her wedding day! Thanks so much, Lindsay! read more

Do not look anywhere else! Lindsay is your girl, for whatever beautifying you may need, you WILL NOT go wrong with her. I had my bridal makeup done, and I couldn't have been happier. I have terrible skin, and was so worried I wouldn't look my best on my wedding day because of it. She made my skin look FLAWLESS. I can truly say she made a huge impact on my mood, and confidence on my wedding day. She made my day. She is absolutely amazing at what she does- and nobody else compares. It's well worth the money. Highly recommend her! I felt like we have known each other for years when we first met, very friendly and personable! Love her. read more

I booked her at the very last minute for a fitness completion that I did and had no clue who she was or anything, just blindly booked her because she was one of the few make up artists who had a decent time slot available. I had no clue what to expect, but she did one hell of an incredible job. She knows exactly what she's doing and is very talented. However, with that said, it's not like she's the only MUA who is good at what she does; Her personality completely reflects that. If you can get over that or don't mind it, then I would highly recommend her. You're paying for her services, not to be her friend. Her price was around the same as everyone else's also, ~$80. read more

Lindsay did my makeup for my wedding this summer and also most of my 9 bridesmaids. I had bad experiences at other makeup trials and was worried I wasn't going to be able to get the look I was going after - until I met Lindsay. She spent a lot of time with me in our trial to make sure I really liked everything she was doing. She made me look flawless on the day of my wedding and did such a great job that a few of my bridesmaids who weren't originally getting their makeup done asked to squeeze in day-of (thank goodness we had lots of time!) She does a fabulous job, is super fun to talk to and made sure my makeup would last the whole day (stained lips and an incredibly water proof sealer for my face - no joke, the water was beading off my face when I tried to take my makeup off that night, it's that good!) read more

Gosh I have known Lindsey for 4 years...as she began doing my makeup for special events in the MAC store in Cherry Creek. She has now been my go-to girl for any occssion, whether it be for a wedding, a black tie gala, crazy Lady Gaga makeup for Halloween, or advice on how to blend eye shadows into a masterpiece! She not only makes you look AMAZING! She takes the time to teach you how to create similar looks for yourself on the go or at home! Worht every penny every time! read more

Lindsay is AMAZING!!! I am so happy that I booked her for my wedding. She did my makeup as well as the rest of my bridal party and she made all of us look breathtaking. Also, the makeup did not move all day or night and photographed absolutely gorgeous! Her assistant did a beautiful job as well and both just have such great personalities which made for a fun time! I would and will recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is the best! :) read more

Lindsay did my makeup for my wedding and I have never looked better. I emailed her a few photos I liked and together we picked what we liked best. I had people I've known my whole life look at me in awe and tell me how beautiful I looked. Not only did I look amazing, the makeup lasted from 9am till the very end of my day at midnight. Also, I had my hair done at my stylist's first thing in the morning and was so full of nerves as I came to the venue where I was to meet Lindsay for makeup. She had me sit in her chair and in no time I was more relaxed than I had been all morning. She has amazing talent and a wonderful disposition. I will definitely call her as soon as I have anything important to attend. Lindsay was also very professional in all her correspondence, time tables, and expectations, hers and mine. I couldn't have asked for anyone better on such an important day of my life. Thanks Lindsay! read more

So let me make something very clear... I have known Lindsay Ambrosio for approximately 3-4yrs now.. I started getting my makeup done by her when I worked at Diamond Cabaret... Lindsay was the makeup artist and hairstylist there for I think 7-9yrs, somewhere around that time period. Lindsay had absolutely no problem practing esthetics on strippers without a valid license from the state of Colorado. When she received her actual license in 2011 she won the Denver A-List as best makeup artist. And then her fathead started to kick in. She competed in Vegas competitions, did lots of magazine work(including Playboy.. how trashy), lots of "models" makeup for photoshoots(I put models in quotations cause its ridiculous how many ladies pay photpgraphers for pictures and then call themselves a model when they havent landed one paying photoshoot), and tv appearances. Now this is the Gods honest truth, Lindsay is extremely talented and very gifted at doing makeup, she is creative, and quite the perfectionist. And that's where's everything I have nice to say about her ends. Sure she's talented, but is she the only talented person in Denver , CO practicing makeup? No. But she sure thinks that way. She is the biggest shit talker about every other makeup artist in the state. Countless and countless times getting my makeup done by her... And 95% of those appointments she would talk smack about a bunch of makeup artists in the area that she deemed not worthy of being a makeup artist, down to their actual makeup kits, she has nothing nice to say about any MUAs. Why? Good question. My guess is she is extremely threatened by all the upcoming talent in the Denver area. So threatened that recently she reported a handful of girls studying in school to be estheticians, and a handful of girls that are just talented and practicing makeup as a hobby, or for tips and a chance to expand their own portfolio. Now lets jump back to me working at Diamond Cabaret for approx 2 years, before she received her own licensing. She had been charging for wedding makeup, photography makeup, event makeup, stripper makeup... You name it, she did it, and as her full time job for many years of course she is going to have a menu of her rates. So... Why didn't she call her own name in with the dozens of other girls she called in this past sprig/summer. Is it me or is that not a complete contradiction. "Hi my name is Lindsay Schneider Ambrosio, and I want to be a snitch and report a dozen girls for not practicing makeup according to Colorado State Laws, just like I did for over 5 years before I went to esthetics school myself and recived my license"... Now that would have been a more accurate phonecall. Half of those girls like I said are actually in school or are enrolled to start school. Now going back to her fathead... Obviously this woman is completely full of herself, thinks her shit doesn't stink... And thinks she is the only makeup professional in Denver that should be respected. My advice to her is to go move to someplace like LA, Vegas, NY, or Miami... Where the competition is actually real. Hello! We are in the Rocky Mountains in Denver where no nationally published magazine has headquarters, where movies aren't filmed, and where a runway show consist of each model wearing one outfit and walking down Suite 200's tiny ass runway. In other words modeling in Denver is not taken very seriously. Now I only say this from experience. Sure I live in Denver CO myself.. And since I left Diamond Cabaret, I have been perusing my modeling dreams for almost two years now. My modeling work in the past year has brought me to LA, Vegas, and Miami.... where the modeling work is taken a such more of a serious level then in Denver. Here is a direct quote from Lindsay's makeup website: *In the state of Colorado it is manditory to have a license in esthetics to practice makeup. A licensed esthetician is a skin care professional who has graduated from a state licensed training program. When shopping around for an artist please keep this in mind.* Again,contradicting what you did for over 5 years.. Illegally charging women for makeup applications?? To sum up my extremely long but hopeful helpful review.. take your money elsewhere to other just as talented MUAs in Denver, that actually have respect for one another. Save yourself from a 30min-hour makeup application where you will just hear an extremely threatened and jealous women feel better about herself by DISRESPECTING almost every other MUA in the state of Colorado. Take a look at all the Denver A-List nominations this year, there are 49 other makeup artists listed on there that deserve your business and respect a whole heck of a lot more then Lindsay Ambrosio of Makeup Madame does. **Plus her rates are way high, not very affordable for everyone.** read more

Lindsay is amazing!! I wanted to go full on glam for myself and my bridesmaids on our wedding day, and Lindsay was recommended to me without hesitation by my bodybuilding coach. One look at her portfolio and I knew I wanted to hire her! I came to my trial with a few loose ideas of what I liked and didn't like (which probably all conflicted and made 0 sense) but Lindsay was amazing and spent a long time talking through and trying different options until we got the perfect look (which ended up being pretty different than what I thought I had wanted in the beginning). That's the secret to a really amazing artist - they know what you really want better than you do and can help you find it. Come the wedding day Lindsay was a total pro. She hauled hundreds of pounds of equipment all the way to Breckenridge, got set up with no issues or drama, and made an incredibly fun morning for us ladies. I can't tell you how many of my bridesmaids have told me they've never liked their makeup as much as they did that day, or that Lindsay helped them find their "perfect brow" or "how to contour their face shape finally". I can't wait for another excuse to work with Lindsay, she's the best! read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Lindsay, hands down! I have known Lindsay for the past 8 years. Not only is she a wonderful person and friend, but she is extremely talented and professional! Most recently, she did my makeup for my engagement photo shoot. She was so warm and welcoming and listened to what I wanted. During our time together, she continued keeping me updated on what she was doing, ensuring I was getting exactly what I had envisioned. My makeup was flawless! I literally almost started crying. Never have I looked more beautiful! The makeup she used on my skin was a perfect match. My eyes were smoky, with beautiful lashes. She did everything with ease and I felt so comfortable. She was sure to ask me how much blush I wanted, what color lipstick I would like, etc. She wanted to make sure that I was happy! And I sure was! My fiancé was floored when he say me. I was still myself, but just a prettier, more glam version. I can't wait to see the pictures. We met up with family after our photo session and everyone raved! I have already booked Lindsay for my May 2015 wedding. I literally contacted her immediately after I had set a wedding date to ensure she was available! And when she said "yes", I was ecstatic! I knew I couldn't have anyone else on my most special day! She is super talented, knowledgeable, punctual, fun, open-minded, creative and has such great, positive energy about her. I know that I can count on her - not only to show up on time and "bring it" but I know she will do the most amazing job. She's the only MUA that I would recommend! read more

I happend to stumble upon Lindsays website about a week before my wedding. I called her and she was booked that day but after seeing her work on her website I knew I would not be happy with anyone else, so I offered to pay her above her rate and go to her at 8am- my wedding was at 4. She agreed and I was a little worried that my makeup would not last that long but she assured me it would. My makeup did not come off untill I washed it off- at 4am! I could not believe how awesome she did my makeup- she is a true professional with all her own brushes and makeup, and she was a blast to be with. I still had running around to do that day, so I told her to give some business cards in case anyone asked who did my makeup and within an hour of leaving her I had already given out at least five cards just from people at the store. I also had to go get my hair done, and everyone at the salon was coming over to me and saying how amazing my makeup was and how they had never seen makeup look so beautiful and perfect before. The ladies at the salon who did makeup themselves even said there was no way they could do it as good as Lindsay did, and they all got a card from me. Every single person at my wedding was telling me how gorgeous my makeup was, and my photographer and the lady who runs the reception hall both asked for Lindsays card so they could pass her info along. People were truly floored at how my makeup was- they kept telling me over and over how beautiful/amazing/ awesome etc. it was. I had gone to three different "makeup artists" before Lindsay, and just the trial alone was almost as much as what Lindsay charges, and they could not compete with her skills if their life depended on it! You can have the prettiest dress and the best hair, but your makeup is what makes the difference. You don't want to look average on your wedding day, and you want to be the prettiest woman there - with Lindsay I guarantee you will. Lindsay could charge upwards of $400 and she is worth that- but she doesn't because she loves what she does and wants everyone to have the opportunity to look as beautiful as they can. Lindsay will make you look the best you ever have before, and isn't that what you want when you walk down the aisle? I had been with my fiance for 14 yrs when we got married, and he said his heart stopped when he saw me - I looked that good! My pictures turned out amazing because of the makeup she uses, and she knows how to apply it so that you look awesome in them. The minute you find out you are getting married you have to call her- you will be making a huge mistake if you don't have her do your makeup. I am so grateful I found her- I spent alot of money on my pictures and I look awesome in them. A little girl at my wedding kept calling me the princess- I assure you you will not find better- in Denver or possibly anywhere. read more
