I can’t recommend Elena enough! She was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. I sent her a few inspiration photos for both myself and my friend, and she completely nailed the looks—flawless execution and amazing attention to detail. Beyond her phenomenal talent, Elena has the kind of warm, fun personality that instantly puts you at ease. We had such a great time chatting during the session that I was genuinely sad when it was over—we could’ve hung out all day! Her pricing is super reasonable, she is prompt, and the communication is easy! If you’re looking for a talented makeup artist who’s also an absolute joy to be around, Elena is your girl!

Elena was here early just as we have planned and she kept in touch with us since days before to ensure I tell her all my needs. She is light on the touch which is important to me since I like when they don’t lean over too much. She made the most perfect waves and the make up was the color matching tones I wanted. Plus the extra retouch gift bag which was amazing. Overall a soothing experience in an exhilarating moment in my life. She made me feel at ease all the time.

Elena did an amazing job for my graduation glam! Her professionalism was evident by making sure I was comfortable with the make up before proceeding further which was very important for me! I received many compliments for my look, and was very impressed. Thank you Elena! I will definitely work with her in the future again!

Elena was incredible! She was so easy to work with and was able to both create a specific look that my friend was looking for and do a beautiful makeup application for me with the freedom of choosing the look! She is fun and so creative. We both felt beautiful and her recommendation for Lucy to do our hair was amazing! I will absolutely book her again!

I chose Elena because of her experience with color eyeshadow. This was the inspiration I initially chose. She did explain to me why blending blue is actually the hardest to blend . I do wish there was a little bit more purple on top. But if there wasn’t blue on bottom, I guess that would make it harder to have purple on top? I was a little bit short on time since the photographer was going to be there shortly. I gave myself a 90 minute window, and I think that 2 hour window would have been better. She did show up at 7:30 in the morning. Overall, I was very happy with the color pop and received a lot of compliments from the people who saw the makeup in person. She did offer me to go make up for touches, but I declined even though I should have accepted some lipstick. She had me do a contract and a $30 security deposit. Nice to talk to her :) Would definitely recommend her!
