I cannot say enough amazing things about Monique! She is truly such a beautiful soul -- so patient, kind, and genuine. Her work is absolutely stunning, and what I love most is that it somehow keeps getting better with every new client she takes on. You can tell she is constantly growing and perfecting her craft. I find myself going back to her again and again because she genuinely engages with her clients. It doesn't matter if you're a a high profile client or not -- she treats everyone with the same care, respect, and attention. She's not fake, she's honest, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what she does. Being in her chair always feels comfortable and real, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for both talent and authenticity. read more

I recently took a 1:1 Eye Shadow class with Monique and had an amazing experience! She was incredibly kind, humble, and genuinely attentive throughout the session. She took the time to understand my comfort level and skill set, and adjusted her teaching to meet me exactly where I was. I appreciated how patient and encouraging she was, creating a space where I felt completely comfortable asking questions and trying new techniques. Her guidance was clear, and she explained things in a way that was easy to follow. No question was a stupid question. By the end of the 1:1 I felt more confident and comfortable with new techniques as well as working with powders and creams. If you're looking to improve your skills as a professional or an individual, I highly recommend you taking this class with Monique, you won't regret it, 100000/10! read more

Monique Carrillo - 1:1 Eyeshadow Class - Makeup Artists Near Me

Firstly Monique is a wonderful person. She is super easy to talk to, relatable, and understands exactly what you want. She did such an amazing job I felt so beautiful ALLL day throughout my wedding day!! She is probably the best vendor I booked for my special day. I can't explain how satisfied I am with her work. Honestly I would even call her a lifesaver. When it comes to pictures, I feel self conscious and not the prettiest. But her work made me feel confident. I literally smiled throughout my whole day. I received sooooo compliments!!!!! Monique, thank you for all the beautiful hard work you put into your profession!!!! You are a wonderful person and I wish you all beautiful things and lots of happiness and love through your life!!! I am 1000% coming back as a customer, recommending you, and if whoever I recommended can't budget, I'll do the honors!! Love you Monique!!! read more

Wedding Makeup Perfection! I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with this makeup artist! From the initial trial to the big day, she was incredibly warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. She took the time to listen to my vision and completely nailed the look I was going for--elegant, radiant, and timeless. Not only did my makeup photograph beautifully, but it also lasted through happy tears, hugs, and hours of dancing without needing a single touch-up. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also kind, reliable, and an absolute joy to be around, do yourself a favor and book them. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day, and I owe that to her read more

If you're deeper skin and contemplating a spray tan--stop scrolling. BOOM: Monique is IT. I didn't know it was possible to level up my melanin like this! Monique gave me the most gorgeous golden glow--so even, radiant, and natural-looking, I truly looked sun-kissed in the best way. No orange, no streaks, just pure, buttery bronze perfection. She knows how to work with deeper complexions (which is rare and so appreciated), and her attention to detail is next level. I left feeling confident, luminous, and ready to stunt on my vacation. If you've been on the fence--this is your sign. Monique's the artist you didn't know your glow-up routine needed. read more

Well Monique has done it again. Her services are always over top tier. Every single time. I got another spray tan and my daughter got her makeup done for her senior pictures. She came to my studio and was able to tackle both services and was even so kind and patient while I grabbed my daughter from her hair appt and brought her back in order to do her makeup. My daughter is 17 and she's a super natural girl Monique not only executed her look she (my daughter) loved the look so much she wore it the entire day and evening and for her that's new. I have to say Monique's vibe is always the same friendly and bubbly. My daughter is a shy girl and she's felt absolutely comfortable throughout the service. I absolutely adore Monique sometimes you meet people who totally align with you and she's definitely in alignment with us . If I could give her 100 stars I would. We look forward to continue working with her read more

Absolutely obsessed with the way Monique did my bridal makeup. As someone who doesn't really wear makeup, I wasn't too sure what I wanted, I showed her a picture of what I kind of wanted and she did her thing! It felt so light & looked amazing all night long! read more

This being my first time getting my makeup professionally done I don't think i'll ever think of anyone else to do my makeup besides Monique. I've been following her on IG for YEARS seeing her growth and how her makeup clients look like bombshells every time she posts after receiving my own experience with her i will never be the same. She exceeded my expectations and with this being our first time meeting it felt like I was just meeting up with an old friend, she's super sweet and so down to earth, i had an early appointment but the overall vibe and just conversation alone and the tone she sets i felt wide awake just with how comfortable she made me feel. After this i've raved about her nonstop when family and friends asked me about my birthday photoshoot and i even told her that same day how i felt so bad for removing it cause i wanted to practically sleep in it and go out later that night I can go on and on about my experience but this is something i will definitely be treating myself to just like i do with my nails/hair. Book your appointment and you will definitely be coming back! Thanks again love read more

This review long overdue, almost a month late, mainly because I am so bad at time-management not because this experience wasn't memorable. I had such an amazing makeup trial for my upcoming wedding and couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful and confident I felt afterward! From the moment I walked in, Monique was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to what I wanted. She really listened to my vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. My makeup looked absolutely stunning--full coverage, extravagant, and still very much me! I had a full day of errands and then a family event at the end of the night and my make-up lasted the entire day, which gave me total peace of mind moving forward. I'm genuinely a quiet person and Monique kept the conversation going so effortlessly, I felt so at ease! On top of her talent, she made the entire experience fun, calming, and stress-free. If you're considering booking her, don't hesitate. I'm so grateful I found her and cannot recommend her enough. Worth every star and then some! read more

I met Monique over a year ago when she did my graduation photo makeup. From the start I loved her vibe!! She is the sweetest ever. She did exactly what I asked for and even fixed whatever I asked her to fix. She's so skillful at her craft and knows how to work with every face/eye shape. For context she used to be a MUA instructor at a beauty school. So she's very knowledgeable. I love her to death! She has done every single special occasion makeup for me. From grad photos, grad party, quince makeup, to my own baby shower makeup, etc. What I love too is that she & I have become more than just MUA & client. I feel as if we have become very close friends. My family even knows her already lol. I cannot wait to hire her for future milestones. Long story short, just book her! You won't regret it I promise read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I got my makeup done by Monique in the summer for a wedding. I got my makeup done several hours before the wedding, traveled to the destination, even got stuck in a packed hot elevator AND it was an outdoors wedding and my makeup stayed in tact all night! I received many compliments and was completely in love with my look! Just what I asked for and flawless! I would recommend her and will be coming back when needed. PLUS, she is so so sweet, cool and made me feel comfortable like I've known her forever. read more

Where do I even begin , oh yes 7 years ago ! I first met Monique back in 2016 , she did my graduation and prom makeup. When I tell you I have been in love and swear by her work since day 1 , I mean it. My makeup always lasts ALL day & I never fail to get compliments. She always completely understands what I want and is extremely gentle & knowledgeable when it comes to doing makeup on eyelash extensions (which a lot of MUA's will not protect your lashes when doing your makeup). Fast forward to now , she's done my gender reveal, baby shower, civil wedding, and mommy & me + family photoshoot makeup. Every important milestone , she is there . I've seen Monique grow in her career and herself through the past years. I appreciate you so much Monique , thank you for being their every step of the way & I can't wait for more glams with you . Love you Monique read more
