Essence is the best! I come to Vegas yearly for my birthday, and decided to get my makeup done for a pool party. I googled local MUA’s and found Essence on Thumbtack. Her reviews were great and so were the pictures of her clients. She was so sweet, friendly, fast, professional and great energy! I loved my makeup. I got so many compliments and I will definitely use her again when I’m in Vegas and need my makeup done!
Details: Birthday party • 26 - 44 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • 1 person • My home, venue, etc.

Great experience. She is versatile and provides exactly what you want. She did the makeup for my wedding. Not only did she beautifully do my makeup, she executed my sisters’ and mother’s makeup excellently.

This is my second experience and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Very attentive, approachable and she made me feel very comfortable. My make up look turned out great!
