Valentina is truly one of a kind! She's not only incredibly talented but also so kind, attentive, and professional. She instantly understood the look I wanted and brought it to life even better than I imagined. My makeup was flawless -- soft, glowing, and still looked perfect hours later. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she makes the whole experience relaxing and fun. You can really tell she loves what she does and takes pride in every brush stroke. Whether it's for a special event or just to feel beautiful, I wouldn't trust anyone else read more

I am not one to wear makeup, but needed it for an extra special occasion. What can I possibly add to the discussion that hasn't been said. Valentina is a master in her craft. She took her time and constantly checked in with me to see if I liked my makeup. With every new step, Valentina made suggestions for me. Throughout, she honored all my requests and addressed any concern. I was genuinely concerned about how long my makeup would last. My event was from morning until night and it needed to stay on. I never received so many compliments about my makeup. Some people hadn't even recognized me at first glance. I am so so so happy with what Valentina did for me. I hope she gets tons of recognition for her work because she deserves it. read more

I don't know where to begin! Valentina is amazing at what she does! Her talent and passion for makeup really shines, you gotta book her to see what I mean! You can tell by her application, technique and management. I needed my makeup done for my hub's cousin's wedding. Valentina to the rescue! My phone camera doesn't do any justice to her work, but so glad I got to grab these photos from our session. She was so patient with me, a true professional. Thanks Val, till next time! Chasing 2 kids, nursing 1, the heat, commute to the venue, waiting at the reception. My makeup was able to withstand all that, and lasted throughout the whole night. Not needing any touchup, even my lipstick too! PS. The makeup that she uses are all my dream brands if only I applied makeup everyday. I'm Asian, Val really catered to my skin and features. So thankful and glad I found her on Yelp! read more

Valentina MUA - Makeup Artists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My twin sister introduced me to Val in 2015 when Val did our makeup for an all day wedding (10am-2am) on a super super hot day!! Our makeup looked flawless for the entirety of it. I still remember how stunned I was by it. So when I got married in 2018, I didn't ever consider anyone else but Val to do my makeup. Val is amazing at what she does and is calming. It's so important to like who you're working with that day as you get ready with your bridesmaids. Hire someone with good energy AND talent (like Val). She did all 7 of us on a day full of time constraints, deadlines and chaos and handled it with grace! Again... I am blown away by you Val! Thank you so much and cannot wait for the next event :) And also... thank you for recommending Arax for hair. You two are a dream team!! read more

I met Val in 2015 by chance and feel like the luckiest person for it! Flash forward to 2018, I was the maid of honor at my twin sister's wedding and had the responsibility of planning make up and hair. I picked Val to do not only me and the bridesmaids, but my twin, the bride, and had 100% confidence that our make up would look amazing. Not only did my sister and all the bridesmaids look beautiful, but Val exceeded our expectations! Val is competent, a skilled artist, a caring soul, and amazing under pressure.

I came across Valentina on IG while doing some research for wedding makeup/hair. She responded to me as soon as I contacted her. I LOVED how responsive she was unlike other vendors/artists.

Valentina checked in with me several times before the wedding, showed up on time at 6am and took care of 7 of my girls and finished on time! All the ladies' hair and makeup looked amazing and they got many compliments at the wedding! Thank you!! read more

I recently met Valentina and am so glad I did. She is one of those special people that walk into your life and make you feel like your life was basically non-existent without her. Valentina has done my makeup several times and has pulled through for me every single time. Some make up artists make you feel like you're a bother, or they don't really connect with you. Val is completely different. She is so in tune with her clients and I speak from personal experience. While she does my makeup, I go off like a chatterbox and she listens and continues to do her work flawlessly without getting distracted (lol). She is a warm loving person, very genuine, and the queen of make up. She is unbelievably precise and makes sure that you are satisfied. If you're not (which is doubtful) she goes the extra mile to make sure that you are happy. All in all, there is no one like her. I will be making another appointment with her very soon. Thanks so much sweetness! read more

Thank you so much Valentina! read more

I was recently referred to Valentina to get my makeup done for a Christening and at first I was a little hesitant because she was someone new but from the moment I met her and the amazing job she did on my face, I was so glad I took a chance and went to her. She made me feel at ease and did such an amazing job with my makeup! Her skills were amazing and she made me feel beautiful without being "over done". She was such a sweetheart that I cant wait until I have another event so that I can go back to her. read more
