Totally a couple years late to write this! BUT I still remember it like it was yesterday. This woman not only was professional but also SAVED my wedding day photos. I got a sunburn the day before and she came to the rescue to telling me how to get it gone quicker! Amazing makeup artist! Sweet and kind! Very knowledgeable about makeup and will ask for your opinion!

Ivelina is an amazing artist and does killer hair as well as make up. I can’t speak highly enough of her skills or how enjoyable it was to sit and chat with her! I booked Ivelina three days before my micro wedding and she was immediately responsive and worked everything out with me within one day. On the day of, she arrived exactly on time and was so flexible to allow me to finish a few tasks up and even read my husband’s letter in between doing hair and makeup. Ivelina sets a great mood while she works with fun music, and despite saying she mostly does hair down she flawlessly executed the bridal updo I had been envisioning. My makeup was stunning—perfectly highlighted all of my features without overshadowing me or being unrecognizable. I will absolutely be hiring Ivelina for the delayed reception. Thank you for making me feel like a goddess!!

Ivelina was wonderful — from her responsiveness to her listening skills and punctuality. She did makeup and hair for my daughter and me for a very special occasion, and was so delightful to hang out with and made us both feel so beautiful. And we looked spectacular!

Ivelina is a very sweet, kind, professional young lady! I've never worked with a make-up artist before and contacting someone I didn't know through Thumbtack was different for me. Ivelina was responsive from beginning till the day she did my hair and makeup. Ivelina took her time to listen to me in regards to how I wanted my hair and makeup done. She suggested a few products that she was very knowledgable in, so I took her up on her idea and went with it. I LOVED my final look. We were on our way to take our engagement photos afterwards and my photographer complimented my hair and makeup. Also, the photos came out just beautiful! Ivelina had taken before and after photos of my makeup. I kindly asked her to not post my photos on her portfolio or on her social media site or show any of her clients my final look. Ivelina showed great concern and support and said she wouldn't do that. I really appreciated how Ivelina respected my wishes. Thank you Ivelina. I will be sure to nudge you for any future events.
