Beauty by Elizabeth Root

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!!!

t 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.

nergy, 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!

tional 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!

ent, 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.

alm and reassuring vibe on my wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough!

quality makeup and recreated the exact look I was going for. She responded to all of my messages in a timely manner, was on-time the day-of, and is just so completely sweet and easy to talk to (making what could be a very stressful morning getting 9 bridesmaids, a bride, and 3 MOBs ready into a stress-free and fun process)! I would highly recommend her if you're looking for the best!

e blowing future clients away with her skills!

ing and conversational, which helped ground me on an otherwise hectic day. She also helped me choose a makeup look that suited me well and still looked flawless more than 8 hours later! I was so pleased with her work that I hired her again to do my makeup for additional wedding photos that we took offsite a few days after the wedding. Liz helped make my wedding day run seamlessly and I give my highest recommendations for her services!

akeup, I felt beautiful without feeling overdone. I highly recommend her for you wedding day.

k asap! When my sister got engaged I recommended Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s makeup is described as natural, but what she does is really make everything pop. You just feel slightly enhanced and not like you have piles of makeup you are drowning under. Cheeks more pronounced, eyes a little brighter, skin a little glowier, and still look like you. She did the small bridal party for sisters wedding, and none of the group normally wears a lot of makeup. After each woman was done, you could tell they were shocked at how much they loved her work. She makes you feel beautiful and feel yourself. Besides being a wonderful makeup artist, she brings so much more. She's extremely professional, on time, and a great communicator. Seriously amazing!!!

k suited me better and she was the one that recognized that and made me feel made up and pretty but still like myself. On the day of, she was on time and everything went smoothly because she is very easy to work with, organized, and a very kind and genuine individual. All of my bridesmaids loved how their look turned out and to my surprise my make up stayed in place without getting oily even through the heat, dancing, and long hours. I couldn't believe when it was all over that my face still looked freshly done! Definitely go with Elizabeth for you big day!!

hey have never had a better makeup experience. Elizabeth is also just a lovely individual. Her calming and kind energy was exactly what I needed on my wedding morning.

t much better. :)

to meet her before the wedding. During the trial, It was like chatting with a longtime friend and I had no worries that I was in great hands! She has a very calming, warm energy too which was perfect day of wedding. She also was so efficient at communicating leading up to the wedding and made a great schedule for day of. She executed my vision of a soft glam look where I still definitely looked like myself but just my best version. Definitely my favorite makeup I've ever had done. My bridesmaids and Mom all looked stunning and they worked on all of them in a timely fashion, but listened to their feedback and ideas. My makeup stayed perfect through the night of dancing and through any tears shed! I hope to work with her again for any time I need professional makeup done. Thank you so much Elizabeth!

well. We had to reschedule multiple times because of covid, and she was so nice and flexible with me about all the unforeseen challenges... I felt so lucky to be able to work with her on my wedding day.

ing her after looking over her portfolios online and saw how she highlights each persons natural beauty, and knew she was the person for me and my gals! Elizabeth has the kindest heart, knows what she’s doing, is incredibly professional and responsive, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Before writing this I saw how constant she receives 5 stars, and that’s definitely something to note. Go with Elizabeth, not only will she add to your special day in making you feel that much more special in the makeup she does, but also in adding to the sweet atmosphere of such a fun and exciting day! And I just want to add, it’s been about 6 months and several of my bridesmaids STILL talk to me about how much they loved talking to Elizabeth as she did her makeup, and not to mention then getting to see the final products of her work!

rgized and supported. She immediately understood what I wanted and delivered. The wedding day was seamless. All my bridesmaids and family loved their makeup. A few things that set Elizabeth apart is how she compliments everyones unique features. She really customizes her work to you and makes you feel like the best version of yourself. It is not the same look on repeat which shows how skilled she is. She truly listens and can do such a range of amazing work. Beyond the end product Elizabeth gave us, her vibe is amazing and genuine. You spend a lot of your wedding day with your MUA and she really was special to be around. I feel so grateful to have found her, truly a blessing to have her on my wedding day team! Thank you forever!

and set up in advance. Not only did she make everyone look amazing and accomodate what everyone was looking for, she was such a great energy to have in the getting ready room. Highly recommend you work with Elizabeth. I am sure she can do many different styles, but if you are specifically looking for natural, glowy, my skin but better vibes she is the gal for you.

eyond “natural looking.” Elizabeth ran with that at my trial, and I loved it! My makeup was even better on my wedding day. Elizabeth made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident. Most importantly, I looked like MYSELF! My makeup perfectly suited me, looked flawless, and lasted my entire wedding day. Elizabeth is also highly personable and was a great addition to my bridal suite while we were all getting ready.

uty… Lizzy nailed this look!! We did my trial for our engagement photos, which I loved how the makeup turned out. However, I did for my wedding decide I wanted a little more eye lashes, so my eyes would pop and she added just the right amount of individual lashes. The makeup lasted all night long and looked great till the end! 10 out of 10 recommend her to others and will use her again in the future!

left me feeling confident that I was in the right hands for my wedding day. On the day of, she arrived early and was accommodating for all my bridesmaids. Any concerns that came up, she assured me with a big smile that there was nothing to worry about. She even stayed around to help with touch ups right before the ceremony. Elizabeth's value felt pretty much priceless to me. I highly recommend her, you'll be in talented hands.

fect in photos. She also adjusted based on each girl's preferences (some of my bridesmaids wanted very minimal makeup, while others wanted the full glam look.) Thank you Elizabeth!

my mind to a more Glam look. My makeup came out so great and I felt so beautiful! Thank you Elizabeth!

ile being professional and very informative. Lizzy stuck with us through date and location changes, and never made me feel stressed throughout the process. I had a blast doing my makeup trial! She made me feel very comfortable and was quick to listen to my thoughts as well. On the big day, everyone had such a blast with Lizzy! She made the experience so memorable for all of us with her bright personality and calm presence. My mom had never had her makeup done professionally, so she was a bit nervous. Lizzy took the time to talk with my mom and help her feel comfortable...and she looked stunning. Lizzy highlights your natural beauty and has a light hand, which was exactly what we were all looking for. Thank you Lizzy for sharing your talent with us!

l and was willing to patiently work with me until I was 100% satisfied and comfortable with my look. I don't have a lot of experience wearing makeup so when I was searching for a makeup artist for my wedding day, I wanted someone who could make me look like myself (but better) and someone who could help me feel comfortable in makeup. I also didn't really know what I wanted at first and wanted an experienced makeup artist who could give me advice. Elizabeth did all that and more. She took all my concerns and requests into consideration and absolutely delivered on my wedding day. She made me and my bridesmaids look amazing in person (and in photos) and helped us feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day. I would 100% work with Elizabeth again!

about how amazing she made them look. Anyone who has had their makeup done in a wedding knows that it’s not common that all the bridesmaids love their makeup. Highly recommend hiring Elizabeth. You will be so glad you did!

great with a lot of makeup. I loved how Elizabeth specialized in natural makeup. I didn't even have to show her a reference picture and she knew exactly what to do to make my wedding makeup look absolutely perfect! The colors and makeup she chose went well with my skin tone and the theme of our wedding and I felt like myself, but a more confident version. She knew exactly how to enhance all of the right features. All of my bridesmaids looked incredible as well. In addition to her amazing makeup expertise, Elizabeth is such a wonderful person. She's so great and added so much joy to the day. Love her!

e and lasted the whole day! I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed!

d she is so sweet and easy to chat with. You will not be disappointed if you hire Elizabeth :)

liked and realized, they were all quite different. She helped me narrow down exactly what I was looking for. On the wedding day she was so amazing for both me, my bridesmaids and the moms. I would 10/10 recommend her, she did exactly what I had envisioned and was so easy to work with!!!

tor and did so much to make the whole day, with all my bridesmaids and me getting our makeup done, run super smooth. She was so kind and easy to work with! Definitely recommend working with her!

glammed enough and my husband raved about how beautiful my makeup was while still looking like myself.

tist as well. She's amazing!

le to execute the look I was going for easily. She has expansive makeup skills, she was able to do more natural makeup on my bridesmaid who doesn't wear a lot of makeup as well as doing a bolder look on me, while making it look like I wasn't wearing a lot of makeup. She has a nice calming presence and made everyone feel comfortable and able to have fun on the wedding day!

all my friends and hope to use her again in the future for a nice event. She’s the best!

it was extremely difficult to get to (I kid you not there were 7 pages of instructions). Elizabeth didn’t miss a beat, despite the unpaved roads, and three locked gates, she showed up on time and immediately set to work. She not only did a great job on each person’s make up, but made every person who sat in her chair feel at ease. Elizabeth’s years of experience of working with a variety of skin tones, coupled with her high level of attention to detail, made me as a biracial bride look and feel absolutely radiant. My best advice to others -- don’t hesitate and book immediately, Elizabeth is a skilled artist and therefore her calendar fills up fast.

e, but she listens to exactly what you're looking for and does an incredible job. On top of it all, Elizabeth has a great energy. Hopefully I have another excuse to book her someday in the future! :)

make-up as well! I really appreciated Elizabeth's responsiveness and flexibility since I got married during COVID and her energy is simply unmatched! Book Elizabeth if you're looking for someone to enhance your natural beauty, you will not be disappointed!

y to chat with, and she made me feel 100% comfortable to ask her to tweak anything about the look at the end. I could not be more thrilled with how it turned out! And it still looked just as amazing by the end of the day as it did when she finished.

y makeup done previously as a bridesmaid by other makeup artists and I always find myself wiping off the makeup after the ceremony and photos. For some reason, I always come out looking fake - overly emphasized lips, intense eyes, etc. I always feel uncomfortable because I don't look like myself. It is the complete opposite when you work with Elizabeth! You will feel confident and beautiful! I reached out to Elizabeth and she was very responsive. She was available on my wedding date, which I was extremely excited about. We also set-up a makeup trial a couple weeks before my wedding. My makeup trial with Elizabeth was so fun. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. She is also super knowledgeable and open to any comments or adjustments that you may have. She really cares and wants you to have the perfect makeup on your big day. Leading up to my wedding day, Elizabeth was super communicative. She provided me and my bridesmaids with a bunch of tips to prepare our skin for makeup and also tips on how to make it last throughout the day. I got married during COVID-19 and she also had tips on how to adjust to wearing masks with our makeup. Elizabeth arrived on my wedding day on time and prepared with all makeup and tools needed. She completed my makeup, as well as 8 other bridesmaids, on time and all with exceptional quality. She brought a secondary makeup artist to help with 2 of my bridesmaids and her assistant was great as well, having a similar makeup style to Elizabeth. I could have not asked for a better makeup artist on my big day. My wedding planner asked me if I had "hired my bridal party because everyone was so beautiful" and I honestly owe it all to Elizabeth's amazing work!! If you're looking for a makeup artist who will enhance your natural beauty, make you feel confident in your skin, and who will make you glow all day, do not hesitate to book Elizabeth!!!

exactly what I wanted for my wedding make up. I felt beautiful and still looked like myself. Elizabeth and Lindsay also did my mom and my 10 bridesmaids' make up. I heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone and they all looked so beautiful! I know myself and my bridal party will be recommending Elizabeth to anyone looking for a make up artist!

. She made me feel so incredibly beautiful! I love that I was able to have a natural, yet, elevated look. I will be using Elizabeth again in the future for any makeup needs. She was super warm and fun to have around on my big day as well. You will be sooooo happy if you book her!

cial occasion. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and, as my husband complimented, I still looked like me. She is as lovely and she is talented and will make you feel completely at ease.

Elizabeth Root. You will beautiful and happy

e AND made the 6 hour drive to Big Sur from San Diego! I am not much of a makeup person, but she absolutely did the most perfect job for me. It was both natural/beachy while also having a gorgeous dramatic touch - the photos were insane!!! She also did a fabulous job on my sister, best friend, mother, and 2 little step daughters/flower girls <3 Elizabeth has really positive energy, a gorgeous smile, and is easy to talk to. All the girls loved her. Highly recommend!!!

rials was challenging since I live in LA and got married in San Diego. Elizabeth was so accomodating in finding time for our trial and even was able to meet me halfway where she happened to be working another wedding. For the trial, I had saved makeup ideas on my pinterest which she mimicked so accurately while also making it work for me and my skin/coloring. On the day of the wedding, she was right on time and was such a calming, warm presence throughout the morning. I don't think any of my bridesmaids asked for any changes to their look, everyone was so happy with Elizabeth's work. She also made sure to make time for touchups for everyone. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone wanting to look natural and like the most beautiful version of themselves on their wedding day!!

akeup trial, she was super personable and listened to my concerns. I showed her my dress and she was familiar with the venue and the vibe we were going with. I told her that I don't wear much makeup to begin with and my biggest concern was that I wanted to still "look like me". She did a great job creating a natural look while still creating a look that was fitting for a wedding. My fiancé and I had a date night to test out the makeup and gave Elizabeth the feedback on how the makeup lasted or things to change for the day of. On the day of, she arrived a early which was awesome. She gave kept the natural look for all of the ladies in my bridal party - they looked gorgeous and it lasted all day long, especially in the San Diego heat. I was concerned that I might have some issues the day of with the heat and my makeup staying throughout the day and night, but by the end of the night, everything was still perfectly in place, in a good way. I highly recommend Elizabeth for their special day!!! Thanks again Elizabeth for everything, I really appreciate it :)

too much makeup. She knew just the right styling for each of my bridesmaids and mothers, and made everyone so happy with her work. In addition, Elizabeth is a kind and happy presence and a delight to have join you on your wedding day! I recommend her wholeheartedly to any bride who wants a beautiful natural look!

beth’s contact information. I reached out to Elizabeth and received a return email. We booked, and then waited the 9 months or so for the wedding date to arrive. Elizabeth arrived on time, got set up and we were ready to roll. She has a very low key personality, which when working with brides and the wedding party is a must! Elizabeth did makeup for 5 women with ages in 5 different decades, and we all loved the results! It’s not easy to please a 20 something woman and a 70 something woman, but Elizabeth did. We all looked like the absolute best versions of ourselves, without looking made up. Elizabeth is AMAZING!

s for hours. Elizabeth is beyond talented and the absolute best at what she does. I danced my face off at my wedding and never had to re apply! She is professional and organized and an absolute gem of a human being. I will use her for years to come! THANK YOU!!

excited to have her do mine. She did makeup for myself, bridesmaids, mom and mother in law. She glammed everyone up to their liking. She really takes the time to listen to everyone and makes sure everyone is happy. She just did such a wonderful job! Elizabeth is a must hire for your wedding day :)

or a makeup artist who would make me look like my best self and not make it look like I had a ton of makeup caked on. I absolutely loved how she did my makeup and I felt confident and beautiful all night, even after a few tears. She also did the makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, and sister. None of them really wear makeup so they were nervous, but they loved what Elizabeth did. My mother-in-law was told at the wedding that she was "glowing". Elizabeth may be slightly more expensive than some other makeup artists out there, but she's worth every penny. Just do it.

d to what it is that I was looking for. I came across her page here on The Knot and I loved how effortlessly natural she was able to do make-up. This is what I wanted for my big day because I don't regularly wear too much make-up. I have freckles and I wanted to play them up instead of take them away. She nailed it and beyond. I felt like the prettiest girl alive at our wedding. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!

r final results. She has a calming, easy-going, friendly personality which is so helpful with nerves on wedding day. Thank you again, Elizabeth!

ook she was gave me and all my bridesmaids on my wedding day! I received so many compliments and was so happy how everything turned out. Elizabeth is flexible as well and totally was willing to modify our schedule when I forgot to add on of my bridesmaids. She was so efficient and ended up being able to complete 9 perfect looks! Thank you so much Elizabeth for everything! I would 10/10 recommend her for her amazing work! :)

oved her work as well. I would recommend her 100x over.

WRONG WITH HER! She was able to do my make-up and 6 other ladies within the timeframe given including doing touch ups before she left. She individualized all the make-up according to all of our preferences and made each of us feel uniquely beautiful! My wedding reception lasted for approx 8hr and I had my make-up on for 12+ hrs and IT NEVER CAME OFF! I looked as beautiful and done up at the end of the night as I did in the morning and that was after hours of dancing, sweating, dabbing my face with napkins, dress changes, and fooooood! She is absolutely amazing as a make-up artist and just incredibly sweet and kind as a person. I've already recommended her to tons of family/friends and will continue to do so because her work speaks for itself!

did the makeup for myself and all my bridesmaids for our wedding and everyone looked amazing. She was able to connect with everyone instantly and made our morning so relaxing and fun. Elizabeth made sure that our timeline that morning ran smoothly and that everyone got their makeup done on time without being rushed at all. We all felt so pampered and her positive energy set the tone for the whole day to follow. I'm so glad I found Elizabeth and couldn't recommend her enough. If you're even considering having your makeup done for your wedding or other professional photos, just do a trial with Elizabeth and you'll understand why she's so incredible within the first minute of meeting her.

ng I could have asked for and more! She instantly got what I was going for, and made me feel so calm and sure about the whole day. We had a trial where I showed her pictures and she took those and made it unique to me. Day of I looked even better than I did at the trial! Not to mention she was calm, collected, on time and so easy to be in touch with leading up to and the day of. All of my bridesmaids also felt confident and looked stunning ! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a natural look, but one that is elevated, chic, and classy.

er in law were nervous to have full makeup done since they typically don’t wear much. They were both blown away with how fantastic they looked. They still felt like themselves and looked beautiful! I myself wanted to make a few tweaks after my trial and she nailed it. I felt so beautiful and wish my makeup could look the way it did for my wedding every day! I can not recommend her enough. If you are considering elizabeth just do yourself a favor and book her! You will not regret it!!!

of my wedding she was early, set up quickly and made everyone look flawless. Our makeup lasted the entire evening without having to do touch-ups. I am so happy to have been able to work with Elizabeth and would book her again in a heartbeat.

concerns, and is soo sweet and laid back. I feel so fortunate that Elizabeth was able to makeup for me and my girls on my big day. Her work is incredibly beautiful and natural, and she created the exact look I wanted. She brings the good vibes and skill that every bride needs on her wedding day!

y compliments the day of and still do when sharing my photos. My friends also had their makeup done and they requested a more dramatic eye and she did wonders. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

artists are concerned, Elizabeth is it. I highly highly recommend using Elizabeth.

sense of humor as well that is a joy to work with.

or my wedding day. I wanted to look natural, effortless but also still looked like I still had something on! Elizabeth’s style was so perfect for me as she builds your look with you and walks you through everything. The trail was so fun and easy which made everything on the day of that much better. Lastly, all my bridesmaids were so happy with their outcome along with both MOB + MOG. I am so glad I went with her and my day was absolutely perfect! Xo

elight to have with us while we were getting ready. She was fun, organized, efficient, and reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend her!

s. I was blown away by the results. I felt that I looked like myself, but a little bit better :) She ran ahead of schedule and the entire day was a dream. She has such a relaxed personality and it keeps the room light and the focus on the ladies hanging out. She was very easy to work with in booking and payment. Highly recommend!!

ike I was caked in makeup until I was unrecognizable!) Elizabeth's natural style made my skin look dewy and luminous, and my eyes stand out. I looked like a radiant version of myself! The makeup looked great in person and in photographs. Elizabeth is such a talented artist--I cannot praise her skill highly enough. In addition to her talent, Elizabeth is also SUPER FUN to be around. My bridesmaids and I had a great time chatting and laughing with her! It was like she was one of the girls. None of my bridal party had anything in particular in mind for their makeup, so all were happy for Elizabeth to work her magic--and she produced spectacular results on all of us, including bridesmaids and mothers. She was very professional and accommodating, working together with the hair stylist to get everyone ready in good time. Seriously, look no further for your bridal makeup! Elizabeth is the best.
