Melissa was amazing throughout the entire booking process and communication of my needs for makeup and hair. She was extremely kind and so fun to work with. Not to mention she did an amazing job with my makeup for both of my events. Highly recommend!

Michelle was incredible! She did both my daughters and my makeup focusing on our eyes! Wow was I shocked at the beautiful transformation she did on me! I'm 67 years old and needed a natural but striking look and Michelle pulled this off to the highest degree! Not only is she a true professional who listens to what you want her to achieve , but she's also a genuine sweet and patient individual! Her beautiful artistry was an incredible value too! Both my daughter and I highly recommend her!! Thank you so much Michelle for making us look and feel great for the wedding we attended!!

Details: Wedding • 65 or older • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • 1 person • My home, venue, etc.

This was the greatest 8th birthday party ever! The girls all loved their face paint, and my 12 year old son got a custom baby yoda on his forehead that danced with his eyebrows! The girls all took photos with their moms, and my daughters want to frame theirs! Thank you for making this such a memorable birthday!!!
