Adriana Fontes | Makeup & Skin

Not only is Adriana extremely kind, but she truly is the best at what she does. I've had my makeup done twice now for both of my sisters' weddings and have nothing but amazing things to say. I'll show her a picture or give her a certain color scheme and within 20 minutes my eye makeup is absolutely stunning. I have major dark bags beneath my eyes and after she was finished I remember looking in the mirror wishing I could be, even a fraction, as good as she is. I can only hope that I get a chance to have my makeup done by her in the future.

Adriana did my makeup recently for my sister's wedding. She also did my makeup for my wedding in 2013. Her work is beautiful and you can tell that she genuinely loves what she does. She is always professional and personable at the same time. I never have to stress about my make up whenever she does it. Thank you Adriana!

Adriana is a beautiful, sweet and extremely talented makeup artist. She did my makeup for my rehearsal dinner and my wedding, and was able to create two distinctive and gorgeous looks that people raved about. She also did my bridesmaids make-up and they were so thrilled with the outcome. Everyone looked and felt beautiful. Not only that, but I got the "Pamper Us Gorgeous" package, and Adriana stayed with us for a few hours so I was able to get touch-ups before and after the ceremony as were my girls. The makeup was so great, we really only needed lip gloss! She was also just an extra set of hands, and went over and beyond her scope of duty just to make sure that we were well taken care of. She is a true professional, and just a lovely person! I will surely use her again should I need any professional make-up services. And if not, I will make up a reason! She was able to customize the looks and at the end of the day, and even the next morning (eek, yes I slept in it!), my makeup was on point! Thanks Adriana!

I recently used Adriana's services for my engagement photos and wedding day. For both occasions I felt BEAUTIFUL, and received many compliments on how my make up looked (in person as well as in photos). Adriana was so professional, prepared, and thorough for both make up sessions- her confidence helped make me feel ready to be the most beautiful bride I could be (and her professional opinions for my bridal look helped me take risks with my make up that turned out to be stunning)! She was willing to meet with me multiple times, fly out of state, and even give me free make up products for touch ups in (all to ensure my big days would be perfect). I cannot imagine how stressful my wedding would have been if I had attempted my own make up; her make up skills resulted in a stress free work of art that I can now enjoy forever when I look back on footage of my wedding day. Adriana will remain a lifelong friend - and I recommend her services to anyone in need of an affordable and talented make up artist!

Adriana did a FABULOUS job on makeup application for myself, my four bridesmaids, and mothers of the bride and groom. I chose a package which included touch-ups beyond the last person's application, and I'm so glad I did! Adriana accompanied my bridal party and myself as we took photos, and she was extremely helpful in ensuring everyone's hair and makeup was perfectly in place. I had MULTIPLE bridesmaids comment on how fantastic she was, and I personally felt amazing as well. My makeup was one of my favorite parts of the entire day and truly made me feel beautiful, confident, and ready for such a special day! Thank you, Adriana!

I recently had a makeup trial and I absolutely loved the work. My makeup was simple, elegant and soft. My lashes were unbelievable!

I could not say enough good things about Adriana! She was so professional. All the make up she did looked so beautiful. It did not look fake or like too much, it was so perfect. Not only did she come out to our venue and do the make up right there but she made us all feel so comfortable with her. ALSO, she followed us out to pictures and helped SO much with our before pictures touching me up in between! I was beyond happy with her service.

I am not sure if words can truly express how great I think Adriana is. She exceeded my expectations in every way going above and beyond for me as well as my Bridal party. I have had the pleasure of working with Adriana on two separate occasions now. I was first introduced to Adriana when I was a Bridesmaid in my sis in-law’s wedding, she did such an incredible job with my sister and her Bridal party, I knew we just had to work with her when it came time for my girls and I at my wedding that was scheduled a few months later. From our very first meeting, I felt so comfortable with her and I just knew she would be amazing! Adriana is such a sweet, talented & beautiful makeup artist who I would highly recommend to anyone in need of getting “beautified” for any special occasion! Her makeup products are incredible with a long lasting (12 hour) all day wear! During the initial make-up trial, she really listens to you and wants to know what you envision for the special day. She then incorporates your favorite looks with her professional options and the result is perfection! I can honestly admit that I do not have one bad thing to comment on after working with Adriana. On the day of my wedding, she showed up early and smiling with excitement. Her charismatic personality and caring nature instantly eased my nerves. Her passion for what she does is truly admirable. Not only did she help calm me down as I was freaking out all morning and slowly turning into a stage five “Bridezilla” (after a few glitches with my hair stylist arriving 2+ hours late), she helped ease my nerves and calm the entire situation. She made all of my Bridesmaids and my Mama feel welcomed and look absolutely fabulous and flawless! One of my girls who had originally opted out of getting her makeup done professionally saw how incredible we all looked and at the very last minute wanted her makeup done as well! Adriana didn’t miss a beat, totally went with it and squeezed her in no problem. She was pretty much a godsend that morning and I couldn’t have dreamed of working with anyone else on one of the most important days of my life. She is absolutely wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you SO MUCH Adriana for helping us get beautified and look our best! You are amazing and I only wish you were around to help do my makeup every day! Just kidding! Ha Ha…no I’m not… xo xo – Bridezilla (stage 5) Alyssia A. Neill

Adriana was absolutely fantastic on every level with regards to skill as well as professionalism. I am very particular about how I like my makeup done and have never had my makeup done exactly the way I've wanted by another professional. However, Adriana was very adamant on delivering the picture I had of myself on my wedding day down to the last detail. My makeup was flawless and lasted beautifully all day without the need to touch-up half way through the evening. Thank you for making me feel like a princess on my special day Adriana! You are makeup artist gold* :)

Between this year and last year I will have been in 7 weddings and also had one of my own so I've had a lot of experience with different make-up artists in the Phoenix area. I hired Adriana for my wedding after reviewing a lot of different vendors on multiple wedding websites. When I went in for my test run I was hooked! The make-up was beautiful and she has such a great personality that is much needed on a brides big day! Day of she was great about delegating who she needed first and how much time she needed so I didn't have to worry about anything. Many of the weddings I have been in my make-up came off pretty quick and needed touch ups throughout the night. I never had to worry about that on my wedding day! It even looked great when I woke up the next day and never had any skin irritation at all (my skin is very sensitive) especially when I forget to take my make-up off at night. All in all she was a great price, great attitude and worth every penny. I recommend her to all my friends getting married this year! Hope this helps all your brides! =)

Adriana did an outstanding job on mine and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding on June 21st, 2014. I encountered every bride's worst nightmare and had quite a bit of redness from stress breakouts the day of my wedding. She made me feel so beautiful. Also, I just got my wedding pictures back this week and it looks like I have perfectly flawless skin. Not only is Adriana extremely talented, but she is so nice and made getting ready so much fun. By the end of our preparation and after Adriana had finished and left, all my bridesmaids and I talked about how it felt like we were missing the fifth bridesmaid--she fit right into our group! I would recommend Adriana to anyone!

Adriana is absolutely amazing!! I have to say that she is a dear friend of mine and I when I found out I was getting married I could not wait for her to be the one to do my makeup. I always admired all of the pictures of her wedding makeup and it was finally my turn! Although we are friends Adriana was extremely professional with the makeup process. We scheduled a consultation, discussed all of the great ideas we had, and she took detailed notes so that she was all set for the wedding. She took her time to make sure everything was how I wanted it to be. She was very meticulous and proficient during the consultation with lots of smiles. Even after the consultation, I wore my makeup out to dinner because it looked flawless and beautiful. I received many compliments about my makeup that night which got me even more excited about my actual wedding day :) When the wedding day finally arrived Adriana blew my expectations out of the water. She did my makeup, which I loved, as well as my mother and sister's makeup, which looked amazing! She loves to make women feel beautiful especially on their wedding day and that, I did!! I could not have asked for anything better. As she was busy doing all of the makeup she still managed to help me remain calm by laughing together. Laughing is good for the soul. To top it off she did my makeup and so much more while being five months pregnant! Who does that?? Adriana was a trooper. A true professional with a passion for what she loves. She truly is the best at what she does! Thank you for everything, Adriana!

Adriana is AMAZING!! She was so thorough and professional throughout the entire process. At my trial session my eyes were unfortunately sensitive and watery and she went out of her way to setup a second session to ensure everything was perfect and that I was 100% comfortable with how my wedding makeup would turn out (even though I already was). On the wedding day she was prompt and prepared, she put everyone at ease and was very patient with everyone - most importantly she was so much fun to have there with us!! My makeup turned out just as I'd hoped and I felt SO beautiful that day! She also did several bridesmaids and Mother's makeup and everyone loved it! And at the end of the night, (despite lots of sweat and tears that day) our makeup was still perfect! I can't say enough great things about Adriana and the whole experience with her - I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist!

My wedding makeup was done by Adriana Fontes Christensen. She did full makeup on myself, my maid of honor, and my mother. She also put false eyelashes on my 7 bridesmaids. She came to the hair salon that we were all at beginning at 10am, and worked for hours to make everyone look the part! She completed a trial-run with my makeup for the rehearsal dinner, to ensure I was happy with the makeup before the wedding. She tried over 5 different lip colors and stains until we found the perfect match for the look I was going for! Adriana also helped to create a schedule for the morning of my wedding, organize which girls would get their makeup done in which order. Adriana used my Facebook photos to get an idea of what type of makeup I typically wear, which helped to make sure I didn't feel uncomfortable with too much of a certain makeup aspect, or to little of another. Overall, this was hands-down the best experience with makeup I have ever had. I would highly recommend Adriana Fontes makeup for any bride!

Adriana is amazing! She will make you feel stunning on your wedding day. Not only does she do amazing work, but she is such a wonderful person, and is all about the bride. So lucky to have her apart of my special day :)

Perfection, trendy, expert, flawless, and professional are all words to describe Adriana and her work. She did the makeup for my wedding. This included five bridesmaids and mother of the groom. She took all of our natural beauty and enhanced it in a “naturally dramatic” way. Adriana picked lipsticks that were all out of our normal comfort zone, and we all agreed she was spot on. The makeup also lasted all day! My wedding pictures looked amazing and this was because of Adriana. On top of the amazing transformation Adriana also was one of the girls. She instantly fit in, and made my special day even better because she was there. Thank you Adriana!!

Adriana is absolutely wonderful! I needed to have 2 bridal trials because my allergies were making my makeup smudge too much. This was Adriana's idea because she could not be satisfied until I was 100% happy with the look. On the wedding day she took her time to ensure every girl's (6 of us!) looked flawless. We all had different looks from very simple to high glam. She is very versatile and skilled in creating a look that suits you. Also, she went above and beyond to make sure that my needs were met and that the day was about me. She is an unbelievable makeup artist, but also an amazing person! I would highly recommend using Adriana's services.

Adriana is an amazing make up artist. I'm sure that goes without saying, considering her ratings on the knot, but she truly is. Not only did she make my girls and I look like supermodels, but she was so patient and nice with my mother (who is beyond difficult to deal with). Adriana went above and beyond when doing my mother's make up and it really showed what a true professional she is. Additionally, Adriana's makeup applications come with false eyelash application, which adds an extra pop to the overall look. Overall, I don't think I've ever looked as pretty as I did the day of my wedding, thanks to Adriana. Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding! Although you will really have to book in advance, she books up early from what I understand. Thank you so much Adriana!!!

Adriana is the BEST! She made me and my wedding party look and feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Adriana definitely goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. I would recommend her to anyone needing a makeup artist. One of my bridesmaids was so impressed, that she is also using Adriana for her big day!

Adriana was simply amazing. She made me feel at easy during the run through appointment and listened to everything I hade to say. On the day of my wedding she arrived on time and made me feel gorgeous. I would highly recommend Adriana to any bride to be!

Well my review is super late, but I had to come on here and give Adriana some much deserved praise. I got married in January, and one of the hardest things to figure out was who I was going to have do my makeup. I am very into makeup, and I love everything about it. Therefore, I am quite particular about how my makeup looks. I will admit; part of the reason I was so apprehensive about finding a makeup artist, is that I didn't think I would be happy with the results, as I love the way I do my makeup. I had a few trial runs with different artists, and I was getting more and more worried about the big day, because I didn't feel comfortable with any of them. However, one of my bridesmaids sent me Adriana's info, and I was blown away by the pictures of her previous clients' makeup. They were exquisite! I set up a trial with Adriana, and everything was set in stone after I saw what she can do. She is absolutely amazing!!! I chose the full pampering package for myself and my bridesmaids, which meant she was there to do all of our makeup, and then she did touch ups throughout the next couple hours. It was fantastic. I felt so comfortable with Adriana, and she knew exactly what I wanted, even when I had a hard time explaining everything I was envisioning. I had tons of people compliment me on how great everyone's makeup looked, and I know my bridesmaids were equally ecstatic about how their makeup looked. Without a doubt, Adriana most definitely helped make the wedding day stress free & relaxing for me, because I had the utmost confidence in her skills. I cannot say enough that Adriana is absolutely AMAZING!!! :)

I booked her for my wedding and she did such an amazing job. I would recommend her to anyone!

Adriana was amazing. Her make up skills are out of this world, and her personality lights up the room. Her prices are great, she comes to you if needed at no additional cost, and she supplies you with things you wouldn't think of for after the wedding so you look flawless every second! Loved her and her work so much that I plan to meet her at her studio to be color matched for the product line she used on me during the wedding.

Adriana is a true professional and I would recommend her services to any bride. Her pricing was completely reasonable and even though my wedding was a smaller job, she never treated me like she had any other clients. The day of the wedding, she did great with all of my nieces crowding her space while she worked. And I felt nothing less than beautiful. If I have any other events in Phoenix, I definitely would ask her to do my makeup again.

“Stunning”, “phenomenal”, “beautiful” are all words you want to hear on your big day. And I felt just that, I felt like a princess on my wedding day thanks to Adriana! From the moment I met with her at my trial, she made me feel so at ease with her bright smile and warm personality. The make-up she uses lasted well into the night. She even supplies you with make-up to touch up throughout the night. She was on time, professional, and listened carefully when I told her the look I envisioned for my wedding day. And she delivered exactly that -- a natural, yet elegant look! All of my bridesmaids also had their make-up done by her. They all looked stunning as well! I cannot say enough good things about Adriana and the quality of service you will receive when you book her!

Adriana did my maid of honor's along with my makeup for my wedding. I was SO HAPPY with the way it turned out. My maid of honor was ecstatic with her results as well. Adriana even adjusted my eye makeup when I decided I wanted to go heavier. She is so incredibly sweet and talented at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I could not have felt more beautiful for one of the most special and important days of my life.

Adriana was exactly what I hoped for my wedding day. She was so professional, talented, and has a great personality. She made the whole experience calming and comfortable. We had 2 moms, 3 bridesmaids and myself all getting makeup applications and she made everyone look amazing. I have never seen myself so gorgeous. The compliments were endless. She even gave me a lipstick for touch ups and my girls a lipgloss. Everything about Adriana was well worth the cost. For all my special events from this day forth I will call Adriana. I couldn't have asked for more from a makeup artist.

Adriana did the makeup for me and my bridesmaids. She made the experience very fun and relaxing. While staying with the soft theme of our outdoor wedding, she was able to individualize the makeup for each of the girl’s personalities. Everyone was extremely happy with how they looked, and the makeup continued to look amazing far into the night. We were very lucky to have Adriana making us beautiful for such a wonderful day.

Adriana did a beautiful job for my wedding! She did my make up, along with my 3 bridesmaids and mom. She did a trial run (which is included in her packages) a few months before the wedding, which helped me figure out the style I wanted. Her calm and peaceful demeanor was just what I needed for the big day! I got lots of compliments on how natural and elegant my make up was. I already recommended her to another bride and will continue to do so! Thanks SO much Adriana!

Adriana is absolutely fantastic! She not only has the gift of knowing how to customize each makeup application perfectly to any client, she also knows how to keep the bride calm and happy. She has such a sweet demeanor, she is the perfect person to spend time with on your wedding day! I, unfortunately, had a pretty bad breakout the night before the wedding due to stress and Adriana worked her magic to make my skin look fantastic. She is a wonderful person and I look forward to working with her in the future!

Adriana was the best money spent on my wedding day!! She pampered me the whole day and followed me around while my photos were taking place making sure my makeup was flawless and fresh! She was a true professional and it looked so natural! My husband loved it and I got tons of compliments on how I looked! thank you Adriana for pampering me on my wedding day!

Adriana is a lovely, kind person, and extremely professional. I prefer a classic, natural look, and found a picture of what I had envisioned so she could use that as a basis for the wedding day. My wedding makeup was perfect and exactly what I had hoped for, and lasted throughout the day. Adriana was a joy to work with; I highly recommend her.

This girl is simply amazing!! She came out to my house for my trial makeup- very easy to chat with, answered all of my makeup questions. She traveled to my venue and did an amazing job making me into a blushing bride! Prices are reasonable. LOVE LOVE LOVE her!

All I can say about Adriana is that she was AMAZING!! I can't believe how beautiful she made my sisters and I look. She was very professional and sweet. If you are looking for a makeup artist...stop here. Adriana is your girl!!

Adriana was great to work with from the very beginning! I normally don't wear a lot of makeup and wanted to look natural on my wedding day, and she paid close attention to that during my trial run and on the actual day. My bridesmaids and Mom looked gorgeous and I'm so happy I chose to work with Adriana for my wedding =)

Adriana was amazing! From the first trial run to meeting me at Sephora to find the perfect lipstick, she was everything and more that I could have hoped to find in a make-up artist! She really listened to what I wanted and I could not have been more pleased with the results! My make-up lasted all night and made me feel just as beautiful on the outside as I felt on the inside on that special day!

Adriana is amazing! She came to my house for the makeup trial and really took the time to understand the makeup look I wanted, while offering her professional opinions. She did the makeup for me, my mother, and my maid of honor and everyone commented on how natural and beautiful our makeup was. My other bridesmaids really wished they had opted to have Adriana do their makeup as well! I recently received my pictures and they are beautiful. Adriana is professional, yet laid-back. She made me feel comfortable as well as my bridal party on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Adriana, particularly if you are worried about looking clown-like, or overly made up on your wedding day. If I could have Adriana do my makeup every day, I would :-)

Adriana made up all the women in my wedding party...she even brought little lip glosses for the flower girls. She listened to what all of us liked and helped to polish our preferred looks. She made us all feel special. The makeup stayed in place all night allowing us to keep looking beautiful in our photos.
