Beauty by Elizabeth Root

wanted an artist that specialized in natural make up looks. I was nervous because I don’t really get my make up done and lot and I also have rosacea. When I had my trial with Elizabeth, I was immediately relieved and excited because she absolutely smashed it. She asked me a lot of questions my personal preferences and made me look absolutely beautiful. On the day of my wedding, I couldn’t have asked for a better energy from her. She did my 5 bridesmaids make up as well as my own and we looked so beautiful. I got compliments all evening about how well my make up lasted as well as how glowing I was. She brought this positive attitude and meshed so well with our group that it seemed like she was just one of our friends. I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth for any event and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future for events. Thank you, Elizabeth!!

ing party. I would highly recommend Elizabeth for your wedding!

lot of makeup normally and wanted to feel like an elevated version of myself. The calm energy she brought the morning of really helped to set the mood for the day - one of my bridesmaids said it was the most relaxed getting ready rooms she had ever been part of. She is also just so likable and easy to talk to, it felt like she was a just a normal friend hanging out with us lol. Elizabeth was also great with the moms, who both had more particular tastes about their makeup preferences. Everyone felt beautiful and the makeup lasted all night. In my opinion, Elizabeth is THE makeup artist in San Diego that you should be crossing your fingers is available for your wedding day.

l trial to the big day, Elizabeth was so kind, calming, & communicative. Thanks to Elizabeth, I felt so beautiful on my wedding day while still having a natural look & feeling very comfortable & confident. I couldn't recommend her enough!

as looking for. I booked her for both my engagement shoot and wedding and every time I was in her chair I felt like my best self! She was the most amazing energy and everyone who had their makeup done loved it! She is such a pro and worked with my other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. I could not recommend her more.

e body dysmorphia and often can't look at myself without thinking I look hideous. On that day she truly made me feel like I looked like a beautiful garden fairy queen! Every one looked so gorgeous and she was so kind and so much fun to be around. It lasted all night and she is definitely a god send anda true makeup savior. Thank you so much for all that you did for me on my wedding day to make me feel beautiful Kristin Shelley (Mair)👰🙏❤️

rfect. Not only was it flawless, but it lasted all night long through hours of happy tears and dancing. My bridesmaids' makeup was also amazing. I'm so grateful for her artistry and experience, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect wedding day look.

searched through a ton of different makeup vendors, but felt like most of their makeup was too much coverage for me. I found Elizabeth's instagram and I instantly LOVED the looks she showed on her page! I booked a trial run with her and she did such a great job!! I looked glowing and radiant, but still natural! The day of the wedding I brought a special shade of shimmer eyeshadow for her to incorporate into my look and she did it flawlessly! Plus she wasn't even phased when I asked to use my Dr. Pepper chapstick instead of lipstick (Sorry, it didn't really smell like Dr. Pepper anymore, ha!) Thank you Elizabeth for being so down-to-earth and easy going! You did such an amazing job on me, my mom, and my sister!!

ome so-so (and some worse) experiences having my makeup done and never felt like myself at those events, so I knew it was really important to like the way I looked and felt for my wedding day. I’m beyond happy to say that the makeup and vibes that Elizabeth brought to the wedding day were perfect. We had an early start to get everyone done and ready for photos, and we ran perfectly on time and no one was stressed. She also has bomb playlists for getting ready if you don’t want to make your own :) everyone was so glowy and beautiful and kept remarking on how good they felt. My maid of honor had a huge gash down her entire shin from a hiking accident the day before the wedding, and Elizabeth helped with making it look covered up - who knew we would need help with that, but so glad she was there to support! We had a big enough group and a short time frame to warrant a second makeup artist to help, and Elizabeth picked the best makeup artist that complemented her style. Everyone’s makeup lasted through the day and night (and through a surprise hour long rainstorm at our fully outdoor venue). I’ve now down makeup lessons with her after the wedding because I want to look like my wedding day self at home too. Cannot recommend Elizabeth enough!!!

absolutely AMAZING and I cannot recommend her enough! I struggled with finding a makeup artist, because I don't know much about makeup and I really wanted someone who could capture my vibe (which is more natural), but still make me feel more elevated and beautiful for my special day. I heard about Elizabeth through a friend (who also had an amazing experience), and I was so grateful that I found her. Elizabeth is extremely professional. I had to reschedule about 3 different times for our trial, because I was in the midst of transitioning jobs and I did not have a set schedule. She was so gracious with me in finding a time that worked out. She was so easy to communicate with -- timely, clear, and super helpful! Elizabeth is an incredibly talented artist! I wanted a soft but elevated look, and she completely captured my vision. I looked and felt like me, AND I felt more elegant and beautiful with her amazing makeup. She can definitely do any look you are going for, and she was so good at listening to my very specific wants and needs. I really appreciated her attention to detail and her versatility. Elizabeth is seriously the kindest and calmest person! On your big day, you want to be as stress-free as you can. Hiring Elizabeth was such a win, because her calm presence totally helped the vibes as we all got ready in the morning. Side note: we had a minor cake fiasco, and Elizabeth helped give advice on how to make things work! It's great having people there who have so much wedding experience that they just have insight and advice for all the wedding things. Altogether, I completely recommend hiring Elizabeth for your wedding. I treated my bridesmaids (and my two-year-old niece) to getting their makeup done by her, and everyone felt so special and had a wonderful experience with her. Thank you Elizabeth!

lking with Elizabeth, she would be perfect to help me look beautiful on my big day while keeping a very natural look. Right from the start, Elizabeth was very responsive and highly communicative, and her website is great. I was living out of town, so she squeezed me in for a trial a few days before my wedding in SD. I rarely wear makeup and was nervous I wouldn't look like myself, but the trial was perfect! With just one inspo photo I had, she nailed it! She provided helpful tips for everyone ahead of my wedding day and was easy to work with when locking in timelines and schedules. Come wedding day, Elizabeth exceeded everyone's expectations! All my bridesmaids and my mom loved their makeup and felt so beautiful while looking like their natural selves as well. Despite the chaos of everyone getting ready, Elizabeth brought her calm and fun energy and was very time efficient. She listened and delivered what everyone wanted and made us all feel absolutely beautiful. Even though I am not used to wearing a lot of makeup, I felt comfortable all day and night. I highly, highly recommend Elizabeth!

ught of getting making professionally done was daunting. Because of this, I was seeking a makeup artist who really excelled at the "natural" look and it was important to me that I didn't feel like I was covered in a full face of makeup. Elizabeth checked all of those boxes and more! She is a natural-look extraordinaire! I felt light, I felt natural, and most importantly she helped me feel extra beautiful on my wedding day. I had a wedding on a Saturday and I did pay the minimum booking fee for 6 people, despite only having 4 people (including myself) to do makeup for. It was worth every single penny, and I would have paid that minimum just for myself for the opportunity to have Elizabeth do my makeup. I was also able to schedule my trial session the day of my engagement photos which worked out really well. Elizabeth is also the epitome of cool, calm, and collected (extra emphasis on the cool). Take my advice: stop your MUA search here and book Elizabeth ASAP!!

ned to what I wanted, and I felt natural, beautiful and like myself walking down the aisle. I didn't want a natural, effortless makeup look - and she did just that. Elizabeth was so helpful with small things even when she was done with my makeup, like providing a pin so my veil wouldn't fall. I would highly recommend Elizabeth, she's the best!

ortable and understood when it came to our visions. I did the makeup trial with her ahead of time which I definitely recommend. On my wedding day I have never felt more beautiful! Elizabeth really knows how to highlight your beauty while still making you look completely natural and like yourself. I could not recommend her more.

y whenever I had a question and made me feel and look beautiful! Highly recommend having her as your makeup artist for your next special event!

r talent is unmatched. After tons of searching, I found her, and she was available to help me, last minute, with my engagement photoshoot makeup. She came to my little apartment with her set up, she handled my hyper golden doodle with grace, and the look she gave me made me feel radiant and gave me confidence. Our photos were at sunset on the beach, and she gave me a perfect, natural, golden-hour glow. She took the time to do individual lashes. I had never had them before, and they were the perfect boost without being too much. On the morning of our wedding, she showed up early to set up. She was patient and helped me take care of the space in my mother-in-law's house to make sure it stayed clean. She elevated everyone’s natural beauty in a unique way. Everyone felt no pressure with Elizabeth, enjoyed their time with her, and thought their makeup was beautiful, not too heavy, and it lasted all night for all of us. She did individual lashes for everyone in my 6-person group. Everyone was happy and there was nothing for me to worry about thanks to Elizabeth. She even made my little flower girl feel special and let her sit in the makeup chair and gave her a little look. She felt like a princess. For my makeup, she remembered my engagement shoot look and gave me the same beautiful glow but elevated it to my dream bridal look. She was also very generous with her time and made sure we had a lunch plan and then gave us time to eat before she did our final touch-ups—a game changer that I was not expecting but greatly appreciated.

time I contacted her, I felt at ease with leaving one of the most important aspects of my wedding day in her hands (make-up). She is so calming and easy to work with, she is super professional and answered all my questions and handled all my concerns with ease. On the wedding day itself, Elizabeth showed up a little early as to be sure no one felt rushed. She had this calming aura about her even amidst the hectic schedule of the pre-wedding getting ready timeline. She is also a true artist and expert in her field and took extra special care not only on my make-up, but also my mom's, my MIL, and my grandmother in law. All of us loved our make up so much and everyone had nothing but positive things to say! I was concerned about having too much make-up or not looking like myself, but all concerns melted away at my trial. My wedding day makeup couldn't have looked better nor more natural and perfect for me! I truly felt so beautiful and I can't thank Elizabeth enough! Look no further if you are looking for a make-up artist who wants to enhance your natural beauty and takes their time and pays special attention to every client! I can't recommend her enough!

ism and strong communication, I enjoyed working with her throughout the entire process (she's also a lovely person in general!). She was extremely responsive when it came to scheduling a makeup trial and helping plan out the schedule for the day of the wedding; you can tell that she's done this many times before which made me feel at ease :). During both the makeup trial and the wedding day, she did a great job of taking my photo inspirations and ideas into crafting a beautiful wedding look. Elizabeth is known for creating makeup looks that enhance your natural beauty and she definitely helped bring that to life. Leading up to the wedding, she also sent helpful tips on how to best prepare for the wedding (e.g. hydration and skincare prep). If you are considering her for a wedding or any event in general, I would highly recommend her (I would love to work with her again if an occasion comes up!)

f freckles, that can tend to get completely covered with some basic makeup. I really didn't want them covered for my wedding, so it's a bit of a tricky challenge for me (a non-professional at makeup) to even fulfill on the daily. Elizabeth used the light coverage that I was asking for, but enhanced my natural beauty, making me most feel like myself on my wedding day. I couldn't be more thankful. Thank you Elizabeth!!

ith me. Take helped my vision come to life and I felt so confident on my wedding day.

happy! I didn’t have to worry about anything at all and had so much confidence in my makeup looking good all night. Elizabeth is calm cool and collected and the perfect to have around during the morning of a crazy day! Overall, I absolutely loved my bridal makeup and loved working with Elizabeth!

and that reflects in her work. All of our looks stayed on throughout the evening and photographed beautifully. Thank you for helping make the day so memorable!

es and facial features and she made us all look amazing! Our makeup lasted all day, though the evening and many hours of photos. She got us done on time and we were ready to head to the venue with time to spare! Even better is that our makeup felt weightless and comfortable as it lasted all day. Book her! You won't regret it!

up done in the past professionally I have looked like someone other than myself. Elizabeth did the exact opposite! She listened that I wanted a natural look and to look back on my wedding photos and recognize the person in the picture -- and she absolutely delivered! All of my bridesmaids loved their looks as well. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth delivered! I loved my natural look and all my gals were SO stoked on their makeup. The photos came out amazing as well. Thank you!!

ed it up, told her exactly what I wanted without even showing a picture and y'all she NAILED IT! I seriously can't express how happy I was, my makeup was literally perfect, lasted the WHOLE night, and I'm talking through ceremony tears, and reception dance-sweat lol! I also want to praise her for one of my girls! One of my bridesmaids has darker skin, and she hates getting her makeup done because they always go very orange with her. We reached out to Elizabeth beforehand, she sent us photos, put my girl at complete ease, and on the day she looked freaking beautiful. She was so happy with her makeup! Elizabeth is also very easy to communicate with! This is SO important when picking a vendor! If I ever have any events in the future, definitely going back to her, loved her so much!

way! From the trial to the wedding day, she made me feel so comfortable and knew what to use on my darker skin tone. She even gave me some tips on makeup tutorials so I could learn a few things :) Book asap!!

everything I wanted while also making me look picture perfect! My mother who was a professional makeup artist for 25 years agrees! Liz did her make up as well and she was so happy! All of the ladies in my wedding were thrilled and they all had different styles and color palettes. Besides her amazing work Liz is a necessity wedding day her warm kind personality will fill the room just want you want on your big day! I can't recommend her enough Also go for a trial it is a must ;)

Elizabeth had finished with me, I felt more beautiful and radiant than I ever had before. My mom, who had just finished chemo and didn't have much in the way of eyelashes or eyebrows, was also very pleased! After Elizabeth had finished her makeup, she told me, "Elizabeth is a miracle worker!" Not only were we happy with our makeup, but Elizabeth was very pleasant to work with and we enjoyed her company the morning of the wedding!

ht on schedule and everyone looked and felt so beautiful! She’s great at the natural look. I couldn’t be happier with my wedding makeup!! Recommending her to everyone!!!

dding. She was flexible when it came to scheduling a trial and wanted genuine feedback on what I liked and didn't like. She is so kind and genuinely friendly, it felt like I had known her for ages. On the day of my wedding, she showed up early and set up. I had some family members get their make up done, and she stayed true to what they wanted and everyone commented on how fabulous she was. My make up was STUNNING and lasted all evening without needing any touchups or blotting. I will be hiring her again for all future make up needs because I loved her so much!

al, but enhanced look for my wedding day and she executed just that. Not only did the makeup last all day and night, but I felt and looked like myself. Elizabeth is a true professional artist and has the eye for enhancing your natural features. Her calming demeanor also makes you feel so at ease, and was much appreciated on the day of. She was very organized and on top of things planning wise, early to arrive, kept everyone on track, and was such good energy for the getting ready experience. The bridal trial in Point Loma overlooking Sunset Cliffs was just an added bonus to top it all off. If you are looking for an enhanced look, seamless coordination, & soothing vibes, Elizabeth is your girl!

makeup artist who was able to do a natural look that still made me look like me. At the trial I was blown away by how perfectly she executed what I was looking for and it was overall the most relaxing and fun experience. On the day off Elizabeth really set the tone for the day and made all 8 of us feel calm and beautiful! My bridesmaids now want to hire her for their wedding and that is truly the best feeling. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone, you won’t regret it!

ing Elizabeth to do my own makeup for my wedding in Vegas. She has such a gift for making brides look flawless while still looking like themselves. I am super picky about my makeup and want a full coverage while still looking natural, and I knew she would crush that for me. She can also draw a cat eye sharp enough to kill a man. :)

ur gal. The only other time I have gotten my makeup done was for prom and I felt like a caked on clown. I was so nervous about doing professional makeup again for my wedding. Elizabeth is incredibly easy to talk to. She brings the calmest, most laid back vibe (which is exactly what you’ll need on your wedding day). She listened to all my feedback after our trial, and made me feel incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. I was speechless. The moms and my girls all loved their makeup as well! Elizabeth was originally recommended to me by a friend who had used her for her wedding. Come to find out, my esthetician was also a bridesmaid in a wedding she did, and when an esthetician sings high praises of a makeup artist, you know it’s good! Elizabeth is a true artist and is so, so sweet.

new exactly who to go to! She is amazing to work with throughout the whole process - booking to the day of. She is such a pleasure to work with, but I cannot tell you enough how positive and valuable it is to have her with your bridal crew as you get ready. She provides such peace and light to the room, no matter who is in it. I felt calm, cool, and collected while getting ready on my wedding day, largely due to Elizabeth's comfortable nature. I can't thank Elizabeth enough for what she's done and I will now need to make up excuses to get my make up done professionally, since my wedding day has passed!

makeup looks are flawless and so beautiful. She is so easy going and kind which is exactly who you want helping you on your big day. I 100% recommend hiring her!!

ugh the happy tears and sweaty dancing! If your looking for an incredible makeup artist she is your go-to girl!

ing with Lizzy. She is so laid back and fun, but simultaneously kept us totally on track schedule wise. She set an amazing tone for our morning and has the best energy! I wear a ton of makeup, especially eyeliner, every day. I wanted to do something similar for my wedding- a lot of makeup but make my skin look natural but with a ton of eyeliner. She absolutely nailed it. My makeup was flawless and lasted through our after party until 3 am. My mom and bridesmaids almost never wear makeup. She worked with everyone’s natural features to make them look like an elevated version of themselves. She is able to do the most amazing natural glam- no caking on makeup here to let everyone’s natural beauty shine through. Cannot recommend Lizzy enough- she truly is the best!!!

HE BEST. As soon as I had my wedding date, she was the very first vendor that I booked. She's extremely talented. I have always felt so beautiful but also still completely myself when she's done my makeup. I don't wear much makeup normally, and I love a more natural look (but still a bit glam and special). Elizabeth nailed it for me and my whole wedding party. Also, she's so chill and sweet. She brought the BEST energy to the morning of the wedding. And she kept us on schedule. We even made it to the venue a bit early. If you're looking for a stellar makeup artist, LOOK NO MORE. Also, she did my makeup for our engagement session at the beach, and we ended up in the ocean. My makeup still looked great after swimming in the waves.

ing our makeup done by Elizabeth. She is kind, calm, has great energy, and knows what she's doing! I have been scarred in the past by makeup artists doing too much and then I did not recognize myself. Not Elizabeth! She took note of my reference photos and worked with my palate. I felt totally myself with her makeup and beautiful!

I knew I loved what she did and I didn’t even bother doing additional research. She’s the best at wedding makeup that is enough for photos but still looks natural at the same time - exactly what I wanted! Besides doing gorgeous makeup she’s a wonderful, calming, kind soul that adds good vibes to your getting ready hangout. Thank you Elizabeth!

keup trial with Elizabeth, and while I was confident in her talent, you still get nervous when they go to give you the mirror to see the final look! I’ve had bad experiences in the past where I look in the mirror and go “who is that??”. When Elizabeth held up the mirror, I teared up, because it was exactly what I wanted. She not only nailed the makeup look I wanted (color, style, etc) but I looked like ME. Me…but elevated and glowing! The makeup on the day was was no exception. Everyone looked absolutely incredible, natural, and radiant. We all felt gorgeous. I felt so confident, and it lasted ALL NIGHT. Even after some hard dancing and sweating. Elizabeth is also so sweet, and a calm presence. She a gem, and made us all look amazing.

day-even in 80 degree heat! She was so kind and brought such a calm and reassuring vibe on my wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough!
