Having my makeup done by Ms. Raya was an amazing experience. She came to my hotel and had all of the necessary equipment needed to do her work. She was thorough and asked me every step of the way how I wanted something or if I had a preference for something else. She was friendly, Lindy, and even gave recommendations to my sister and I regarding some possible places to visit in Houston! As a licensed esthetician and a former employee of Ulta, she even gave me recommendations for skin care products that would my oily/combination skin be in its best form. If you’re out in LA, Miami, or the Houston area, I would definitely think about booking Ms. Raya! I would absolutely work with her again! Thank you again🥰

Raya is truly phenomenal- professional, talented, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her work speaks for itself, delivering a flawless result. I highly recommend booking her; you will not be disappointed. In addition to her artistry, she is a licensed esthetician with extensive skincare expertise, which really shows in the quality and care she brings to her work.

Raya and her team were punctual on our special day. They came with full set up equipment. They stayed all day with me and my girls from 8am to 7pm with last minute requests from all of us! I wished I had them longer but I knew they were extremely exhausted! I am sorry!
The makeup was so extreme that our face recognition on our phones did not recognize our faces so make sure you have a pin code on your phones also! The makeup for our photos came out great! Me and the girls are not used to all the makeup but understand why. Thank you so much for everything! If I could post more pictures I would but Thumbtack won’t allow it! Boo!!!!
