RAVE was amazing, I didn’t have a trial with him (due to tight schedule) and he was still able to give me the desired look soft natural eyes with bold lip. RAVE was professional with his communication and I’d highly recommend RAVE as he’s highly knowledgeable about makeup and his technique is amazing. I DIDNT NEED A TOUCHUP THE ENTIRE NIGHT! (Literally, after the reception we went out for after party and my makeup still looked spot on and I was dancing the entire night)

Ruben was awesome! He came RIGHT on time.. was super organized and beat my face for the GAWDS! Not to mention he was nice and easy to talk to!! It was grad day for me and my makeup lasted through 90 degree weather and 11 hours of events! What I liked is that my makeup was soft and pretty and not super cakey... my look easily transferred from day to night. I would def recommend him to others AND book him again!! The pics im posting are hours apart from whn he first finished my makeup to a couple hours out and about. Ladies (or gentlemen) you will not be dissapointed!
Details: Special occasion • 26 - 44 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • Smoky eyes • 1 person • Under $100 • I travel to the makeup artist

Ruben was amazing and so professional! He was extremely patient with me and so accommodating with my time in leading up family pictures before my brother’s wedding ceremony. He made it work as a professional he is and I LOVED the work he put into my makeup and the turnaround. I was extremely happy and also enjoyed our conversations about our family backgrounds. Thank you Ruben! The results was a success and I would whole heartedly recommend you anytime I am in town for a family event. It was a pleasure. Take care and I hope you got the chance to enjoy the vacation that you deserved. 💜

I hired Ruben to surprise my friend with makeup services for her bridal shower. He was flexible to travel within the DMV, reasonable priced, and provided exceptional makeup services! Ruben was so personable and professional which enhanced the experience. Her makeup looked absolutely stunning! And we look forward to hiring him again for future makeup services.
