Lisa did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for the Marine Corps Ball. I looked everywhere to book someone and was afraid I'd have to do everything myself, but Lisa was available to come to my hotel room for on-site application! She hauled a ring light, chair for me to sit in, and an impressive selection of products for hair and skin. The finished product? A soft yet glamorous application of makeup combined with a braided updo that perfectly complimented my dress blue uniform. Lisa has an impressive resume, is fun and professional, and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. Run, don't walk! read more

Wilmington Makeup Artist - Makeup Artists Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Lisa is incredible! My best friend was going to do her own makeup, or let an amateur do it for her for her wedding. The idea of this killed me! We had been playing around on instagram looking at wedding ideas and Lisa popped up! We went to high school together, what seems like forever ago. We didn't know each other well, but she is clearly skilled, so I had to reach out! Lisa was so friendly and responsive. I was able to set up both Bridal makeup and two Bridesmaids. My bride loved her experience leading up to the wedding - her trial makeup made her so much more confident in going this route. The day of the wedding Lisa was right on time, we were not in an easy location to find. Not only did she do an amazing job on all our makeup but she took the time to listen to each of us and really hear what we were comfortable with. Lisa is such a warm and friendly person, she really made each of us feel so beautiful. None of the girls she worked on were "makeup girls", the extent of my makeup is some mascara and go most days. I would highly recommend her services! Lisa if you read this, I know I am a bit late, but you made Jana's day so special. It meant the world to all of us! read more

Lisa and her team are so kindhearted and generous with their team. I got to work with her and her team for "Purple Haze Styled Shoot" I organized as a photographer. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to do the hair and make-up amongst the chaos of organizing other elements of the photoshoot. Lisa also runs The Altarnative that specializes in customized backdrops that she was assembling while also doing hair and make-up for the two brides. I couldn't believe that she could balance being a vendor not only as a Hair and Make-Up Artist, but also a Custom Backdrop creator. Normally her father helps her assemble the backdrops, but unfortunately he was injured that weekend. I requested to have two of her gorgeous, unique backdrops that she set-up with ease. Under a time crunch, I was amazed as how calm and positive Lisa was under a lot of pressure. She is one of the kindest vendors I have ever met and hope to work with her more in the future! read more

I have been lucky enough to have had Lisa do my makeup twice in the past 6 months, and both times she has done an amazing job!! The first time was at my brothers wedding, and Lisa was doing the makeup for the bride and all the bridesmaids. I always get nervous to have my makeup done because I don't usually wear a lot and I feel like I look like a completely different person when I have a lot on. I told Lisa this before she started, and she definitely listened to my concerns. She did my eye makeup very light, she didn't cake on the face makeup, and she made it look so natural and glamorous. I didn't want to ever take it off! I felt so beautiful for my brothers big day thanks to her! Fast forward a few months, and my sister in law tags me in a post on Facebook from Lisa. She was looking for a couple to do an engagement shoot where makeup and hair were provided. Lucky for me, my boyfriend and I got engaged literally 2 weeks before! I messaged Lisa right away and she responded instantly! I was so excited she was going to be doing my makeup for my engagement pictures. Just like before (and like any time I get my makeup done) I was nervous it would be too dark or too much. Yet again, Lisa listened and made me feel like the most beautiful bride to be! She used similar colors to last time and made it so natural-looking which was exactly what I wanted! She takes her time, listens to what you want, and is so cute and easy to talk to! I am definitely going to contact her about doing makeup for my wedding once we set the date and find the venue!! Thank you Lisa!! read more

Ok this post is better late than never!! Lisa is AMAZING!!!!!! She made me and my bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful!! I first met Lisa at a bridal convention in Anaheim. I normally do not wear much makeup other than eyeliner, so I was looking for a makeup artist who can do natural yet stunning make up. I saw Lisa's booth and the pictures she had on her desk. The girls in her picture had the natural yet gorgeous look that I was going for. Right away I knew I had to book her! I had my trial session with her and her friend, Vanessa, who did my hair... WHAT A POWER DUO!!!! They made such a great team! They were sooooooo easy to work with and I couldn't be happier with the services they provided!! I strongly recommend Lisa for make up, you will not have any regrets. Lisa, thank you for making me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life!! You are the best!!!!! read more

Lisa is IT. Seriously, if you want to look amazing and feel beautiful, you have to have Lisa! I hired Lisa for my wedding in August and definitely had concerns because my face is super greasy and I have heavy eyelids that tend to make my eye makeup go everywhere! All of my bridesmaids wanted very different looks as well and Lisa came through with flying colors. Not only is she an amazing artist, she is also such a sweet person. She was so easy to work with and I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know. read more

Wilmington Makeup Artist - Makeup Artists Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Lisa and her team of talented artists are life savers! After having to break contract with the initial makeup artist that I hired due to lack of communication, I reached out to Lisa roughly 6 weeks before my wedding. She sent me the most amazing hair & makeup girls who did a trial in my home. I was sold on the look and hired them for my big day. They worked so quickly and efficiently that they were able to do full hair & makeup on me (bride), 4 bridesmaids, and 3 moms in less time than we had budgeted for! We ended up having time to pretty the flower girls also :) I looked exactly how I pictured myself on my big day, makeup stayed on all day, night, and didn't look bad the next morning either (LOL). My braided updo looked incredible and was so comfortable to wear in the summer heat. I highly recommend Lisa and her artists to take care of any hair & makeup needs! read more

Lisa did way more than I would have expected for my wedding day makeup. I wanted full coverage because I'm fair skin but also wanted to look natural and she exceeded those expectations. She comes with alllll the makeup but also knows what she needs to use for your individual face. AND she is very sweet! read more

I cannot day enough positive things about Lisa and her ability to do makeup. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Lisa prior to attending the Oscars. I did not even have to explain to Lisa what I needed. She looked at my face, looked at my dress and worked her magic. She worked in a very cluttered space, with questionable lighting (thank god she had her own lighting) and under great time constraints. Despite all that, her work was flawless. I would and will use her again, and highly suggest that you consider using her for any makeup needs you may have! read more

Where do I even begin?! Lisa did mine and my bridesmaids makeup on my wedding day and I don't think I could have made a better decision. First of all she is so patient and listens to her clients and what their usual makeup style is like, and uses amazing products as well. I truly felt like my wedding day makeup look was so "me" and exactly how I pictured it to come out like. She was so sweet to my mom and mother in law too and helped them pick their makeup looks they wanted for the day. I also felt my makeup stayed on the whole day/night through the windy and cold dinner reception I would recommend Lisa to any bride-to-be for their wedding festivities or future life events to come! She is truly a makeup professional and am so excited she will be doing the makeup for my cousin's wedding next year also read more

Lisa is seriously the BEST!! She is so talented, easy-going, and accommodating! She did the make-up for my wedding back in September 2017 (me, the bridesmaids, and the mom's). We did a trial run about a month before, and she was able to perfectly replicate a picture I found and add some really helpful suggestions. She made me feel totally comfortable during the trial run and on the big day! It was so nice having one less thing to stress about on my wedding day (Thanks Lisa!!). I would highly recommend her for any make-up needs you may have! read more

I love Lisa and her team! They are so easy to work with, amazingly sweet girls and no one seemed to bat an eye with my "do you thing we change my hair or makeup a little this way". I used them for my wedding day and she made my day go by so smoothly. The cost per girl was on-par with other artists, but I chose Lisa because she was so easy to work with. Thank you ladies!! read more

Lisa and her team were an absolute pleasure to work. I scheduled a hair trial with Vanessa and a makeup trial with Lisa and loved everything about each trial. I brought pictures to show them what I wanted and they asked me questions to help see my vision clearer and were so honest, and easy to work with. For my wedding, we had 11 women getting their hair and make up done. That morning getting ready was so fun! We laughed all morning and truly enjoyed getting ready for the big day. Each and every person was so happy with their hair and makeup. Everything looked great and complimented each of them so well. I couldn't be happier with my hair and make up turned out. It was exactly what I had at my trial and it held all night and looked great in pictures. From the experience, to the final product, Lisa and her team were absolutely amazing! read more

I've had the pleasure of teaming up with Lisa on several events from weddings to creative projects and she never ceases to amaze me! There are soooo many talented artist out there doing their thing but I have to say that Lisa has a style that truly sets her apart from the rest. In a world of makeup repetition so to speak, she keeps it ever evolving and her ability to tailor every client's special features rather than create the same carbon copy look, is what I love most about her work. read more

I am still waiting to receive my finished maternity photos, but didn't want to wait any longer to leave Lisa a review! Lisa was absolutely amazing!! She did a fantastic job on my makeup, and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Lisa is incredibly sweet and personable and was very comfortable to be around while doing my makeup (which is important to note because this photo shoot was very last minute, I booked Lisa last minute, and we did not get the chance for a makeup trail run and had never meet before she did my makeup for this shoot.) she did a phenomenal job and was a pleasure to be around. She even helped me create a soft wave with my hair as well, which was perfect for the beach maternity shoot. 10/10 would recommend, thank you Lisa! read more

When it comes to hair & makeup artistry, Lisa & her team of talented artists do it BEST!! If I could give more than a 5 star rating, I certainly would! I've had the privilege of being pampered by these ladies on several occasions over the years. Whether it's a wedding I'm attending, a bridal party I'm included in or even business headshots I'm having taken, Lisa is my go-to girl!! The extra attention to detail and personable experience I'm left with is what keeps me (and my friends/family) coming back to them.

Lisa is amazing! I booked her to do makeup for a photo shoot and she did a great job of making me look flawless without looking too made up, which is exactly what I was looking for. Not only is she super talented, on time and professional - she's also so warm and friendly that it felt like I had a friend doing my makeup instead of someone I just found online. I loved chatting it up about makeup and skincare while she worked her magic. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

I hired Lisa to do my makeup for my engagement photos and for my wedding day and was absolutely thrilled with her work! She is SO talented with makeup and I felt so beautiful. I didn't really have much of a vision for my bridal makeup so I gave her free reign over what it would look like. She has such an eye for the right colors to compliment your face, eyes, and skin tone and it turned out so great. People couldn't stop complimenting me on my makeup on my wedding day. I can't recommend Lisa enough, she is truly amazing at what she does! read more

Lisa is so sweet, accommodating, and has the ability to make her clients feel so comfortable and special. I have never felt prettier than when Lisa created my look for a Beverly Hills awards show. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, she added several of her own special touches, and it was perfection! I felt super glamorous, yet, comfortable and not overdone. I will ABSOLUTELY reach out to her if I am in need of makeup services in the future. read more

Almost a year and half ago, when I reached out to Lisa and her team, I explained to Lisa that I didn't know how to go about getting my bridesmaids setup with makeup artists and hairstylists for my wedding, let alone myself! Lisa put my mind at ease by taking the time to make sure we would all be taken care of. She communicated with me over several occasions and made sure to keep in touch prior to my wedding day. Fast forward to my wedding day, I felt beautiful, my bridesmaids looked stunning and, secretly, I wish I could go back to that joyous moment when we were all getting glammed up. Looking back at my pictures from my wedding day, I can simply say Lisa and her team nailed it! Thank you Makeup Artist 411 team for everything you did to make it happen Love you girls and all that you do. read more

I've been working with Lisa for almost ten years now and I really can't recommend her highly enough. I started out as a client and then as I built my photography business, I began hiring her for jobs. She continues to blow me away with her passion for making people look (and feel) beautiful, she cares about her clients and is quick to respond when scheduling. It's so obvious she loves what she does, and it shows in her work. Her skill set stretches from super glam/red carpet to fresh face/barely there looks, and everything in between. She is super sweet, always on time and never disappoints. read more

I am absolutely obsessed with Lisa at Makeup Artist 411!! She is so talented, sweet and a breath of fresh air. Most recently she did my Halloween makeup which was completely amazing. She listens to what and how you want to look but give her free reign and she ROCKS it!

I contacted Lisa only a month before my wedding hoping she would have availability to do my bridal party's make up.

Lisa is absolutely amazing. With very little instruction, I left my teenager with her to have her make up done for her senior portraits. The results were stunning and, most importantly, my daughter was thrilled with the look. Lisa creates a very relaxed environment, listens, and is able to produce exactly the look you are going for! One look through her Instagram page is all you need to get an idea of how talented she is! She can turn you into a cheetah at Halloween, pretty you up for date night, or help you glam up for a big event. I can't recommend her enough! Wish I could add a 6th star! read more
