I hired Sammi for a photoshoot. It went really well. She put my client at ease and did a beautiful job on her makeup. She was on time, well organized, and very personable. Will definitely use her again!

On the day of my event, I was so nervous!! Sammi not only made me feel the most gorgeous I have ever felt, she kept me calm. I loved every minute of my experience with her. She answered all my questions I had concerning the products. And was very professional always keeping everything clean & sanitized. Also she seriously contours like no other! I never knew I could look so fierce! It's amazing what she can do with her makeup brushes. Definitely will be booking her again. Thank you so much again!

I just want to say how professional Sammi is. I met her while browsing at the MAC counter and not only was she an expert at my complexion but she was super nice. It's very rare to find an artist with Mac who doesn't have a stuck up attitude! While assisting me she was in the process of doing a makeover and the end project amazed me!!!!!! The only thing I can think of at the moment was holy $!#8 I have to hire her for my sister's wedding. She was time conscious and the outcome for 6 beautiful bridesmaids and a bride was a tearing jerking memory. I will use her for every event I have from now on! You will not be let down if you hire her and i say that with confident.

Sammi was very professional and helpful in applying my makeup for a girl's night out party. I absolutely loved her work with contouring and highlighting. She was easy to communicate with and valued my opinion. I would definitely recommend her!
