I get my make up done every so often. its a luxury that some people don't believe in, but trust me, its worth it. if you had to attend a special event and you wanted to look your best, would you want to stress out about your make up? NO! it'll stress you out and in the end, your skin and make up wouldn't mesh together and you end up looking like a hot mess anyway! and what if there's photos being taken? i'm sure the last thing you would want to think about is if your foundation shade is matched perfectly. or if the foundation you're wearing is going to make your face chalk-white with the rest of your body perfectly tanned, because of course... the tan is something that people think is more important than make up. anyway, as someone who gets their make up done more than the average human being thats my age, i can say with confidence that if you're with Romina, you're in good hands. She takes direction very well and if you don't think that you can describe what it is that you want, bring a photo. she is extremely patient but she's also very swift and quick. She really does bring out the natural beauty with minimal make up, but don't worry... she can do the smoky eye and more daring looks as well. read more

Romina Murillo Makeup Artistry - Before and after. - Makeup Artists Near Me

Fantastic! One word that describes Romina not only as a person but as a makeup artist. She is classy, kind, warm, and her talent goes over and beyond. Romina was one of the makeup artist the day of my wedding and focused on the mother of the bride and the future mother in law (that isn't a makeup wearer). Both women felt beautiful and smiled all day, not just because their children were getting married but because Romina brought out their glow! read more

She's the best! Loved her! She did my make up for my wedding and it was great! She is so nice and friendly! She has a lot of experience and she has really good technique read more

I had the pleasure of working with Romina for my rehearsal dinner. She did my make up and one of my bridesmaids and it was beautiful! Perfect for the occasion and lasted for the whole evening. She is also wonderful to work with and so sweet! I highly recommend her! read more

Romina is such a wonderful soul, I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend my wedding morning with her! Just her presence was calming! But enough of that, her makeup artistry is perfect. She uses top of line luxury products and takes her time to ensure everything is applied properly and evenly. My makeup stayed for 12 hours, and then some (no really - couldn't get the gorgeous eye lashes off for days!). I am so grateful that I booked Romina, she truly was so lovely and talented! read more

Romina Murillo Makeup Artistry - engagement session makeup by Romina! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Romina worked her magic for my engagement photo shoot in Santa Barbara this past March. She was flexible with scheduling as I figured out the best date for the photo shoot, and she was very nice from the beginning. She also helped me connect with Lucy (great hair stylist) and I met them the day of at the salon--on a Sunday! Romina asked what look I was going for, and I gave her full creative freedom. She has tons of experience, and definitely knows what she's doing. I loved the look she came up with! My photos turned out great! Thank you, Romina! I'll definitely contact you for any future makeup needs. It was a pleasure meeting you; you're the sweetest! Ps. We listened to 80s pop/love songs throughout the appointment. It was bliss :) read more

Romina did a beautiful job with my engagement photo make up. She was very accommodating with my schedule as I had to last minute change the location of the photo shoot. I didn't want too heavy of make up as I wanted to look like myself, but also wanted the glam look for the photos. She did a wonderful job with applying just the right amount of make up and still look natural. She also used individual false lashes so that it did not look too dramatic. Belle, who did my hair, gave me beautiful curls that lasted throughout the whole shoot. They were both so fun to chit chat with as they did my hair and make up. I highly recommend Romina and Belle! read more

Romina is Santa Barbara's best kept beauty secret and a make-up miracle worker. My wedding was at a vineyard in Los Olivos, and I couldn't find anyone to do my make-up at a reasonable price nearby. I am so grateful that my wedding coordinator recommended Romina. I had trouble reaching her at first, but I finally scheduled a complimentary trial with her and loved her from the beginning. Her warm personality helped calm my nerves on my wedding day and her technical skills made me feel absolutely beautiful. Her rates are reasonable and her work is exceptional. My make-up was the one thing I didn't have to worry about on my wedding day. It lasted all day and night without any mishaps and I looked like the most beautiful version of myself. She kept it fresh and natural as I requested, and I received a number of compliments from guests. I would have paid her more than double what she charged. She's really that good. I highly recommend Romina for any special event make-up needs. read more

Romina Murillo Makeup Artistry - Bridal make-up by Romina Murillo. Photo by Lovers of Love. - Makeup Artists Near Me

I was lucky enough to find Romina to do my makeup for our destination wedding in Santa Barbara. I was super nervous because I don't wear make up other than mascara, I didn't want to look like a different person. Luckily Romina made me feel comfortable & I loved my makeup. She made my make up natural yet picture ready. She went the extra mile when helping my sister out with the final touches on my dress support and did touch ups at the venue after our ceremony, guess she knew I would cry . I highly recommend her. read more

Romina Murillo Makeup Artistry - Makeup Artists Near Me

I was in a wedding this past weekend and the bride treated us to a make up artist. Romina was great! Did all of our make up true to our personalities. We all looked great and the bride looked stunning. I believe she works at the Trish McEvoy counter at saks so you have to find her that way and she does do house calls. read more

Romina did my wedding makeup and also my mother's and mother-in-law's makeup. She did fantastic jobs and all three ladies were so happy and looked beautiful! She focuses a lot on bringing out your natural beauty. We all really appreciate for her approach, because we like simple look, and usually wear minimal make up. We all looked great, but not like being different people that our guest will not recognize us anymore. Not only Romina does great work, she is such an professional. She is on time, calm and focused. Really, for your big day, you really do not want to worry about an extra thing (there are already too many things to worry about!). Romina is a perfect person to have in such occasion... After she finished my mothers' make-ups, she did mine, and I asked her to do the individual eye-lashes application. Wow, these things take time and are so tricky!! But Romina was so focused and so calm, professional, and my eyes looked so natural and beautiful...I felt so beautiful! The make up also lasted for whole evening even though I cried so much. I do not know what her magic is...but whatever it is, she really does it right!!! In addition to that, she charged me nothing to do 2 (yes, 2) try-outs. She was so nice to spare her time to listen to me, and I did not feel like I need to compromise anything. (it was a great experience after being charged $$$ by a hairstylist for the tryouts that I liked nothing about it) I was so happy that I had Romina for my wedding. Cannot thank her enough!! read more

I was fortunate enough to have Romina do my makeup for my wedding in May 2019 could not have been happier with my experience. From the moment we first spoke over the phone, I felt like I could trust her and she understood the look I was going for (natural look with some glow for an outdoor Ojai wedding). We did a trial a few months before the wedding and I was amazed at her skill and the quality of the products she works with. On my wedding day she came to my hotel and replicated the trial exactly. She also did my mom's makeup, and she was equally impressed. Romina then stayed with us through the first look and did a touch up before family photos. My makeup stayed put the entire night (even through laughter and happy tears!) Romina made me feel confident and beautiful and I highly recommend her any wedding or special event makeup needs! read more

Romina Murillo is a lovely person. She is so enthusiastic and willing to be helpful. She uses the highest quality cosmetics and is known for creating a very natural look. Her brides look glowing and beautiful. As a Santa Barbara wedding officiant, I can only say great things about Romina's artistry. read more

Romina provided the makeup for our daughter's wedding. She did a magnificent job providing age and color appropriate looks for the bridal party as well as the mothers of the bride and groom. She was very patient working through the trial runs and completely unflappable on the day. Extremely personable and with a very calming approach to her work she was a complete joy to work with. I would highly recommend her services! read more

Romina is an outstanding makeup artist. I usually do not wear a lot of makeup, so I told her that I didn't even know enough to be able to tell her what I wanted; instead, I showed her a few styles on Pinterest that I liked and I told her about my wedding dress and the overall theme. From that information, she did the most beautiful and fitting vintage-style makeup. I got lots of compliments--even from my photographer!--and I never gave my makeup another thought! read more

Romina did my make up for my wedding (along with my mom's and sister's) and did such a fantastic job! She truly made us all look like our best selves. She was also very reliable, showed up on time, and was fun to have around while we were all getting ready. I just can't say enough great things about Romina! read more

Romina was absolutely amazing! She did both my wedding make up and my mother's. I asked for a natural look, and she knocked it out of the park. I was SO happy with it, and it couldn't have been more on point for what I wanted. Wish she could do my make up every single day!! My mother also looked absolutely natural and beautiful. Would seek her out again, and again, and again!!! read more

Romina was my makeup artist for my wedding on June 6. My original makeup artist had a scheduling conflict, and Romina stepped up only 2 weeks before my wedding to make herself available for my big day. She even offered to do a makeup trial the day before the wedding just so I felt at ease. She did a spectacular job and was very mindful of what I asked for. I felt so pretty as a result of her hard work, attention to detail, and raw talent for makeup. I highly recommend Romina for any special event you may be needing your makeup done for. read more
