Malia is someone I will forever be amazed by and grateful to! She accommodated me on such a short deadline with my wedding taking place less than a month later. She was super prompt with her responses, and when she finished my trial, I was sold right then and there! She promptly sent me the contract and was right there on my wedding daY, timeline ready, and getting all of my bridal party done! She is extremely talented, I had so many of the guests compliment my make up the entire day. She is so sweet and personable, and I would recommend her to everyone !! Thank you Malia for making me feel even more beautiful on my special day !! read more

I booked Malia for each of my three wedding events and I was extremely pleased and happy with the results! She did not leave until me and my family were satisfied (even if it meant she had to be late to her own family event right afterwards). She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my big day. I absolutely loved how hygienic and organized she was as well and she took the best precautions in these unprecedented times to make sure we were all safe and being protected. I absolutely loved working with her and cannot wait to work with her in the future! read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I scheduled a trial with Malia, had to wait 45 mins outside her place before getting the trail. After the wait when I started discussing my desired look and preferences which she chose to ignore. I was told to "imagine my look with done eyebrows" because she didn't wanna waste time doing my eyebrows! I came home, made a long list of things I didn't want her to repeat for actual wedding look. If I wanted my look imagined in my head I didn't need to waste $100 just for trial. Anyways, she had already sent me a contract before getting my trial makeup, I told her I won't be signing the contract until after the trail. After 30 mins of coming back from the trial, I got a new contract from her with changed quote now from $500 got changed to $550. I asked her why am I paying $50 extra? To which she lied to me. She basically changed the written contract as per her needs. I still booked her thinking her reviews are good and she has really good pics on IG. How bad could she be? Huge mistake!!! Moving forward to the worst part, when I contacted her 2-3 days before the wedding informing her I will have to cancel her for the wedding because I may have come in contact with a person who is showing symptoms similar to corona. If that person comes out to be positive, we will have to cancel the weeding or think of an alternative. All I was trying to do was to protect myself, her other clients and Malia as she has new born baby at home where she does makeup. But, when I informed her, she told me I owe her full amount or I can get makeup done. She basically wanted to still work on my makeup ignoring all health and wellness guidelines. She literally said no problem at all and invited me over saying I can come to the makeup appointment. "I should be fine as I am not showing signs and am young". Anyways, I decided to not go to her, no matter what the results came back to. In short, will never ever recommend her to anyone. read more

Worst makeup experience. Texture and pores were gigantic. I should have done my own makeup. My makeup for other days was done by other makeup artists and I had so many compliments. The day malia did my makeup I looked like a monster. Extremely outdated, Halloween looking full of texture makeup read more

I was looking for an MUA for my wedding and came across Malia. She was one of the only makeup artists that was not only responsive but most importantly she was sweet!! She squeezed me into her busy schedule last minute which I appreciated. I'm a very picky person but I trusted Malia and she exceeded my expectations. I've never felt so beautiful! I received so many compliments on my makeup and the pictures she took of my makeup were stunning. I teared up!! She made my dream come to life. I will definitely be using her for future events and would recommend her to anyone. Worth every penny. Thank you Malia!! read more

Malia is phenomenal!!! She did my trial and I was impressed. However, when she did my actual makeup for my wedding, I was speechless. She is very calm, listens to her clients and understands well their needs. She is also so sweet and friendly. My makeup was gorgeous and it lasted for more than 12 hours. She is awesome and highly recommend her. You might think she is a little bit pricey but trust me it's so worth it!!! Highly recommend her! read more

I have done my makeup several times with Malia in the last 3 years, and recently done my hair with her as well. Malia is incredibly talented and the best in the game in the DMV! She listens to her client and will give you the look you are wanting to achieve.

Her experience and knowledge shows and is obvious through her work. read more

You are truly very talented. read more

Malia got back to me right away after I had left a voicemail on her cell. She also moved up the time of one of her regular clients in order to accommodate me because I had an early morning event. Her studio is in her home, but it's absolutely so chic and professional. She is flexible about a look you want her to create or with you giving her free reign. I gave her free reign and my look came out GORGEOUS. Yes the makeup she does is heavy, but what's the point of paying for a makeup artist for a natural look? Anyways it's all about preference. The makeup she does is NOT outdated by any means. She does excellent contouring and beautiful eye shadows. She even created a lip color perfectly suited to my skin tone and outfit. You can see her work on Facebook. I'm sure if you asked she could also do something more natural or simple looking but where's the fun in that? read more

I wish there was a way to give a business ZERO stars because Malia's Makeup Artistry sure deserves it! Let me tell you why. My sister booked Malia to do her wedding makeup months before her wedding day. Malia was in full agreement and told my sister to contact her for a trial session as the wedding date got closer. When my sister contacted Malia to set up an appointment for her trial, Malia's memory had failed her! Oh no, someone please get her a neurologist asap! She had conveniently "forgotten" her agreement with my sister because she had booked another bride on the same date. Why would she book another bride when my sister had booked her months in advance? I will tell you why -- this other bride had a larger wedding party, which meant more money for Malia...which is kind of necessary since she needs a neurologist for her newfound dementia. :) At any rate, Malia said that my sister needed to "work" with her and that she would do her makeup at 12pm. The wedding was scheduled to start at 7pm. Why on earth would my sister want her makeup done 7 hours before her wedding?! Needless to say, my sister cancelled altogether, which is what Malia was pushing her to do. Pat yourself on the back, Malia. You were quite successful in causing unnecessary panic by pulling your unprofessional move weeks before my sister's wedding. However, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that my sister found a much better makeup artist who actually knows what she's doing! :) Okay, so after I heard how ridiculous Malia is, I did some digging and found her Facebook page. All I can say is CAKED ON like woah. If you want to look like a CLOWN, then Malia is your gal. She is so over-the-top and does not understand what "natural beauty" means. What a blessing in disguise! I am so glad she didn't turn my sister into a clown on her very special day. Since I didn't have the pleasure of giving Malia a piece of my mind, I decided to yelp about it. I figured YOU should know what you're getting yourself into. If you want a professional, reliable, talented makeup artist on your special day, then Malia is NOT the person for you!! read more

Because of some unfortunate events with a previous make up artist I had booked for my wedding, I ended up contacting Malia just three days prior to my event. She scheduled a make up trial for me that same night of me calling her and she went above and beyond with her make up skills. Rest assured, I walked away from my make up trial so happy and relieved that I had gone with Malia at the last minute. She is open to your ideas and changes but also gives her input (which I adore about her). She has such a sweet soul and she's so fun. I'm so glad I went with Malia as this whole experience with her as been worry free and stress free!! Everyone loved my make up and complimented me all night! read more
