She was on time and very professional with a fun personality! My makeup also lasted 12 hours with out being touched up once and I got so many compliments on it! read more

Making Faces By Janice - great makeup by Janice! and It lasted all 12 hours with out being touched up once. - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Diego, California

Janice is awesome! When I posted on Facebook looking for a make-up artist for my wedding , Janice was one of the first recommendations. She responded quickly and professionally to my request for pricing information and her prices/portfolio spoke for themselves. I booked her right away! Come the day of my wedding, she managed to do the make-up for myself and 9 other ladies in the wedding party and everyone truly looked gorgeous and we stuck to our timeline (which with 10 girls, is kind of a miracle!) She was super patient and accommodating to some difficult family members and everyone was so thrilled with their make-up when they left I couldn't have asked for anything better! I would/have recommended her to friends and family who are getting married because she rocks! Thanks so much for everything! read more

Making Faces By Janice - Flawless Beauty Makeover! - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Diego, California

As someone whose beauty routine involves concealer and chapstick, I had high expectations to find a makeup artist to really glam me up for my wedding day! Janice delivered above and beyond feeling gorgeous on such an important day. Not only that, she made each one of my girls look absolutely beautiful. My make-up stayed put through happy tears, dancing, and well into the night. I have truly never felt so unbelievably beautiful, and Janice played a huge part in that. The trial really helped me to realize what I liked and what I wanted to change, and Janice was extremely receptive to doing what I wanted. Will definitely use her again! read more

I am writing this review to hopefully spare anyone from going through what I did. I had been referred to Janice for my wedding and engagement makeup, I met with her twice to do a practice and confirm all of the details for my wedding. About 10 days before my wedding date I reached out to see if I could add my mom, so there would be 6 total ladies for wedding makeup. And after leaving a message and texting I never heard back from her. I tried emailing her just in case she had lost her phone or something, but never got a response. She left me stuck 10 days before my wedding having to scramble to find someone else! I am in the beauty industry, and while I understand things happen, to just disappear, after I paid for a practice, was so unprofessional! I had to find another makeup artist and pay for a second practice. Luckily I found Emily, who saved my butt and was able to do all of my bridesmaids and my mom last minute. I highly recommend her!! Sadly I know things happen but here it is 3 months after my wedding and Janice never had the decency to reach out and apologize or offer any explanation. Having your makeup person disappear 10 days before the wedding is awful! Do not use her unless you are willing to take that risk. read more

I have been going to Janice for makeup since she practiced and explored looks for me and our other friends in high school for homecoming and prom. Even then, I knew I could sit there, not say a word and then look in the mirror for a flawless finished product. She gained my trust as an artist over a decade ago. Since, I've used her for my engagement photos, wedding activities, and my wedding day (even a few times for fun in between)! People stop in their tracks when they see her work on me. She is insanely talented and I will continue to send people her way to experience the best makeup artistry you will ever see! read more

There aren't words to describe how beautiful Janice made me look on my wedding day. I found Janice on IG because I was in need of a makeup artist one month before my wedding due to my makeup artist canceling at the last min. I was so stressed out but what a blessing in disguise that ended up being. I live in the greater Los Angeles area and drove to San Diego for my trial, I absolutely love it!!!! The day of the wedding Janice showed up on time and ready to doll is up! I had 9 bridesmaids, my mother, my aunt and my mother in law. She started at 630am! YES! 630am. We were all ready by 230pm looking stunning!! Our makeup lasted all night and our pictures looked beautiful. I had a few bridesmaids who were also engaged at the time so this served as a bridal trial for the girls, they as well fell in love with her work. Since my wedding August 2014 Janice has done my friends Jennifer, Kimberly, Vanessa, and soon my friend Korin's wedding. Janice is our girl! I highly recommend her for any special event you have coming up. She has a beautiful personality, she's professional and I can't wait to get my makeup done again March 2016 for The Coombs Wedding! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. She was a no show ON MY WEDDING DAY (back in January). I still haven't heard from her....neither has my hairdresser who has done several weddings with her and referred me to her. Still haven't been able to get my deposit back. Just horrible. read more

Janice is a great makeup artist! I booked her for my wedding and she did an amazing job, my bridal party were all very pleased with her work.

When I started planning my wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted to do my makeup. Luckily Janice was available for my wedding date! Now, I am the type of person who is very particular when it comes to my make up, so I wasn't just going to let anyone do my wedding makeup. Janice always does beautiful work; she is truly talented in what she does. It was relieving to know that my makeup would be perfect for pictures on my wedding day. She not only did my makeup, but my mom's and bridesmaids, as well. Thank you, Janice, for making me beautiful for my wedding day (and for all of my wedding pictures that are now on my walls at home!). read more

Janice is an amazing makeup artist, she has personally done my makeup for my engagement photos and my bridal shower. Being African American, I find it hard for makeup artist to match my complexion perfectly, however Janice accomplished that and much more, giving me a flawless look. Her work is very detailed and she takes her time each time. I was so impressed with her work that I referred her to two of my friends, who she also did an amazing job for. I would highly recommend Janice for any occasion! read more

To say Janice is UH-mazing is an Understatement. I've worked with her as another makeup artist on countless amount of weddings and events. She is never late.. Meaning early. Always prepared. Everything sanitized, your choice of lashes and her cute bubbly self just waiting to glam you up! I always refer her to my clients I can't take whenever I'm booked or bring her on whenever I can. I've been in the industry 10 years and it's hard to find the true gems. Janice is definitely one and you will NOT be sorry! She is fun to be around, super professional and you'll be looking in the mirror non stop because you look that flawless. Brows, lips and eyes!!! read more

Janice was a recommendations by my Day of Coordinator= Monica Haleh with Create Events. I contacted Janice the week before our engagement shoot, as the previous makeup artist that I had booked canceled last minute. It turned out to be the best thing to happen! Janice was thankfully available and was so responsive! I was so happy with how she did my makeup for our engagement pictures, I literally booked her for our wedding the week after our engagement shoot. To me, hair and makeup are such an essential part of a bride's big day and Janice exceeded every expectation I had. My bridal party LOVED how they looked, we seriously felt like a million bucks! And as corny as it may sound I felt like a princess on my wedding day and it is all thanks to Janice for highlighting my features, while still making me look natural and myself! (I didn't want to scare my groom away!) Janice is so talented, so easy to work with and was so nice to have apart of my big day! One other thing to note is how well my makeup stayed ALL day and night, even when it was 105 degrees outside! I only reapplied lip gloss throughout the night. Janice is amazing!!! read more

As the mother of the bride I was excited for the special day. Janice first of all did not return messages to the coordinator until the day before the wedding, was late arriving and finished doing the makeup late. I explained that I wear little makeup and prefer to go minimal. She never addressed fine wrinkles around my mouth, no base eye moisturizer. Layer after layer after layer of make up applied to my eyelids and cheeks that caked into wrinkles. Even my daughter looked at me and said it was too much. My son started laughing when I walked into the hotel room! I went back and told her it was too much and the thick black eyeliner also had to go. She did not remove any of it and applied many more layers to cover it up. I was brought to tears. Too late to peal it all off and just apply my own usual tinted sunscreen. I dont think she knows how to apply makeup on older women. My daughter's was better fortunately. I've never left a bad review but I want to warn other mothers of the bride...be careful who your daughter chooses and watch in a mirror as makeup is being applied or you may yell out in fright when she hands you the small mirror when she's finally done! you may end up looking like a zombie! read more
