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 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!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I had an incredible experience with Elena! She did an amazing job on my makeup, which lasted all day. Not only is she a sweetheart, but she was also very flexible and managed to fit me in last minute for my photoshoot. Her workspace was immaculate, with all makeup sterile and clean, which made me feel completely safe.
Finding her location was easy, and her prices are a steal for the quality of work she provides. She knew exactly what I needed and nailed the look perfectly, despite me being very picky about my makeup. To top it off, she even gave me a complimentary lip gloss!
I highly recommend Elena for anyone looking for a professional and talented makeup artist. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my look.
Note: Additionally, it is important to note that service providers on this platform incur fees regardless of whether their services are utilized. Previously, I was unaware of this and would often reach out to multiple providers to see who would respond first. Therefore, I advise considering this when making inquiries. :)
