This was hands down the best makeup experience I’ve ever had. I had to book relatively last minute due to a cancelation of my first make up artist so I didn’t have time for a trial.
My makeup turned out amazing and was exactly what I wanted for my big day!
If there is more than 5 stars I’ll give Sarah more than 5 stars. Sarah exceeded my expectations!!! She’s awesome, professional. I wanted a fresh look on my wedding day and that’s what she did. My bridesmaids were also satisfied with their make up. My make up lasted the whole night. I did not need a retouch. For me, she can do all the type of skin. Her work if diverse! Sarah, i’ll book you again if ever I have an event in NorCal. We love you!!❤️
Sarah was the absolute best make up artist I could’ve asked for! Her professionalism and dedication to making sure everything was perfect for me and my wedding party was next level. Every single person in my wedding g party walked away obsessed with their make up and I feel like that is so rare! My mother in law was worried about make up on older skin as well, and said she rarely has her make up done well without it looking cakey, and she LOVED it.
I felt absolutely beautiful and my makeup was more perfect than I could’ve imagined!
Any questions?
Sarah was amazing!! She did such a beautiful job on me and my bridesmaids. My makeup was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I imagined. She really listened to what I wanted and made my dreams a reality. Her style is absolutely beautiful and she was able to give my bridesmaids the looks they wanted too. Sarah is also easy to talk to and just a kind and enjoyable person to be around, which is exactly what you want for someone you spend hours with on your wedding day! She is flexible, very reliable, and a great communicator. She really focused on attention to detail and made sure I had the look I wanted. My wedding ended up being outdoors only in 105 degrees, we were all sweating but all of our makeup lasted through the whole day!! I’m so glad I hired her, you cannot go wrong with her!! Thanks to her I felt beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you Sarah!!
Sarah was incredible. When we did our trial, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted so she was patient as she tried different things in me. She took all my feedback to heart and really understood my coloring and offered suggestions so it didn’t take long to figure out the perfect look. She did the makeup for my bridesmaids as well and everyone looked amazing. She highlighted their natural beauty and everyone looked perfect in photos and in person which is a hard balance to achieve. All the makeup went together but matched each girls personality and coloring. I hope to have more formal events in the future to be able to hire Sarah for! I’ve already recommended her to my friends who are getting married.
Sarah is absolutely amazing. Her knowledge with makeup not only made my bridal makeup come out amazing but my sisters, my mom, my mother in law, and my younger cousins makeup look outstanding. She was amazing to work with and was the sweetest person. I would highly recommend her for makeup for any kind of occasion. It will last all day and through so much crying.
Sarah is the most amazing makeup artist I’ve ever worked with!!! I’ve used several others for various events in the past and none of them come close. I live in Colorado but we had our wedding in in my husband’s hometown in Northern California. I was definitely anxious since my trial was the day before my wedding and you just never really know what you’re going to get. I showed Sarah some inspo pics of soft glam looks and she nailed it - there was not a single thing I asked to change. And when I say that the make up lasts, I mean it lasts!!! We had an outdoor wedding and it was almost 100 degrees and my makeup still looked flawless in our reception send off pictures. Sarah was great at communicating leading up to the wedding, arrived early to start set up for the rehearsal and wedding, and made sure everyone was happy with their look. I can’t give enough compliments - you must hire her for your next special event!
I don’t even know where to start with this review, other than Sarah absolutely surpassed my expectations of a makeup artist for our big day. She truly took the time to listen to my thoughts and ideas about the look I was going for, as well as gave extremely helpful tips and insight into how to pull off the perfect glam for the day. Not only did she take the time to listen to me, but was also very considerate of my family and bridesmaids who were wanting their makeup done. From our first trial together to the weeks leading up to the big day to the actual day, she was very responsive, professional, kind, and just an absolute pleasure to work with! I would hire her again and again and again and was beyond thrilled with her level of expertise. If you’re reading this.. don’t hesitate! Book Sarah and she will help make your day of dreams become a reality. Thank you Sarah. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sarah was amazing! We had a lot of people so she showed up at 6am to get all of us ready. My make up lasted all night long, and even looked perfect when I woke up the next morning! Highly recommend her!!!
It’s hard to sum up how amazing Sarah was as my wedding makeup artist. She was thoughtful, professional and her talent was on full display. My makeup had my feeling beautiful and the most importantly like myself, only amplified. All of my bridesmaids were blown away with how great of a job she did in on every single one of them. If you’re lucky enough to be able to book her, you and your entire squad will be taken care of! She was flexible with our crazy day of schedule and kept her cool the whole time, exactly what you need on such a big day. I can’t thank her enough.
Sarah was amazing, she was so willing to share the products she used and even sent us links to we could purchase ourselves! She has such a calming presence and it was an honour to be a customer of hers for the day. Thank you Sarah! 💕
Sarah is the best hands down! Everyone I know recently engaged I recommend her too. Not only is she amazingly talented but she is so easy to work with and accommodating. I had to change my date 3 times due to Covid, and she made it so easy. She even helped me figure out all the timing and schedule leading up to the day.
She takes her time on all the girls, making sure everyone looks flawless.
Book with Sarah for your wedding and you won’t regret it!
Sarah is beyond amazing. Her work is amazing and I would not have changed a thing about my wedding makeup! Not only does she do incredible makeup, she also is amazingly accommodating, professional, organized, pleasant to work with, and personable. Sarah went above and beyond to make our day amazing. She meshed so well with everyone in our wedding party, and was able to stick to a timeline perfectly. She was even willing to show up incredibly early to make sure our whole party had ample time to get ready and not be rushed. I would recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone.
If there was an option to leave more than 5 stars I would. Sarah is amazing! From beginning to end she was professional, organized, prompt, flexible, and accommodating. I had booked a trial with Sarah during the pandemic and she took all the proper precautions to make sure the session felt safe. I loved how she did my make up and it was a no brainer that I needed her the day of my wedding.
Unfortunately due to Covid, we had to split our wedding into a two part production. The Ceremony in August 2020 and reception in August 2021. Without any hesitation, Sarah booked me for both dates and made an already extremely stressful situation just a little bit less stressful. For that I’m soo appreciative! During the process I was unsure how many of my bridesmaids would feel comfortable enough when the time came to get their make up done. Thankfully Sarah has plenty of experience under her belt and without a definite headcount until days before, she still managed to keep us all on time!
If you can’t tell by now, there’s really not enough I can say about how amazing she is at what she does. Make up for a bride is important, and I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed with Sarah’s work!
Due to the corona virus I needed to change my venue a few times. Even with all the changes Sarah was so patient, polite and professional! One of the most important factors for a bride is to feel beautiful on her wedding day and I definitely felt that way on mine thanks to Sarah :) Thank you again!
Sarah was AMAZING. I was having some major skin issues and was very apprehensive about my skin looking good. Well, she made me feel so beautiful. She is a true artist and absolute professional. So easy to work with and has a great personality. I can say enough positive things about her and her skills. I've never felt beautiful and confident in my life.

Congratulations! Thank you for your kind words!! I had such a good time working with you and I'm so happy that you liked your makeup. I wish you many happy years with your new husband :)
I am so happy I decided to hire Sarah for my wedding day makeup! She was very professional and helpful throughout the planning process, and did an amazing job on makeup for me, my mom, and my bridesmaids. The trial (two months before my wedding day) went very smoothly and I left the appointment feeling very confident in my choice to hire her. I told her I wanted a polished look that didn't feel overdone, showed her some photos for inspiration, and she brought my desired look to life. I felt completely at ease on my wedding day and trusted that she would do an equally great job with everyone else's makeup. She did not disappoint! I highly recommend hiring Sarah for wedding day makeup. Thank you, Sarah!
I had given up on finding a makeup artist for my wedding day but then I found Sarah. When I reached out she responded quickly and I was able to book her my wedding. Sarah offered a trial (which for some reason a lot of MUA DONT do...) which was so easy. On my wedding day, which was in Big Sur, Sarah was on time and made sure to communicate her ETA, timeline, etc.
Sarah understood my vision for my makeup. I have sensitive skin and Sarah had great products that didn’t cause me to breakout. Additionally, on my wedding day, I had some minor breakouts but Sarah was able to make my skin look SO GOOD.
I loved working with Sarah not only because she is an incredibly talented makeup artist, but she is also a great person. My mom and my bridesmaids adored her and her work. I highly recommend hiring her!
Sarah was amazing from the start! We talked soon after I asked about services, and we set up a time to do my trial makeup! During our trial we tried two different looks each were so beautiful! she listened to my needs and wants and we decided on a final look for my wedding day! Sarah also did my mom's makeup and my bridesmaids makeup, they all looked fantastic! Sarah is so sweet and I'm so glad she was my makeup artist!! Thank you Sarah!!!
Sarah is the best! I was recommended to her by a family friend, and I'm so thankful she was able to do my bridal makeup! Although the initial trial didn't hold up from tears, she was SO quick to make sure I came back so she could fix it. It turned out absolutely perfect! I felt like the most beautiful bride on my big day!! She also did my two girls, mom and Nana's makeup and they all turned out perfect! I would highly recommend Sarah!! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Thank you so much for choosing my services for your special day. I'm so happy that you were able to come back on your trial day so we could reinforce your makeup to be all waterproof :) Congratulations and cheers to many wonderful married years...

Can I give 10 stars? About two months before my wedding I realized that the makeup artist I had was not going to work, I was freaking out but somehow found my way to Sarah. She was able to accommodate my crazy schedule and get me in for a trial right away. She worked with me to figure out what I wanted, and what would look best on me. My bridal look was stunning, I was blown away! It was the best version of myself I could be. Done up enough to feel glamorous but not overdone where my partner didn’t recognize me. I was sold! Knew I’d feel great on my wedding day... and I sure did! I also have to mention that I had been really sick the night prior, so I had redness, and bags, and dark circles... all the issues. Sarah hide them flawlessly, and brought me back to life! In addition to her clear talent, she is kind, patient and so professional. I’ll have to find a way to use her again, just to look that great once more, maybe a trash the dress shoot!
After having several makeup trials, I was SO ecstatic to find Sarah. She was able to put into my bridal makeup exactly what I had described and wanted. My makeup on the day of my wedding was perfect and I felt so beautiful and natural. She also did all of my bridesmaids makeup which turned out wonderful as well! Sarah was very professional and super easy to work with. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

I'm so happy you found me too! You and your bridal party were so fun to work with and you all looked gorgeous! Cheers to you and your new husband :)
Beauty on the Glo was the best makeup artist I've ever had and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! Sarah is incredibly organized and helped me map out the timeline for the day of. I highly recommend the makeup trial as well. Sarah did a trial for myself and my mom and we both knew that she had to do our makeup on the day of the wedding! Thank you so much for making all of us look so fabulous on the best day of my life!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019
Thank you so much for choosing my services for your perfect day. You were such a beautiful bride and I loved glamming you and your bridal party! The pleasure was all mine :)
Sarah is the best! She made me feel beautiful and natural and was able to get me and my bridesmaids done with plenty of time before photos without having to wake up at the crack of dawn which is always a plus on your wedding day :)
The quality of products she uses is outstanding. It was HOT on my wedding day (97 degrees) and my makeup lasted all day and night with no touch ups needed. If I were to get married again I would definitely use Sarah again!
Sarah was truly the best ever! Throughout the entire process from trial to wedding day, she was so encouraging, helpful, and responsive. She made me feel so cared about and special on my wedding day and really brought a sense of calmness amidst the craziness of the day. The morning spent in the hotel/bridal suite getting ready are some of my favorite from that day. My mom and mother in law were a little hesitant about wearing more makeup than they are used to, but she made them feel so comfortable and look BEAUTIFUL. Also she made me and my girls look AMAZING. She uses quality products so you look great all day and all night. Can't stop looking at the pictures. Wish I could get my makeup done by Sarah every day!!!
I had a nightmare a few months before my wedding. It was the day of ... and I hadn’t hired a makeup artist! That morning I opened The Knot app and searched for someone in my area. Sarah’s business showed up. She was quick to respond and was patient while I figured out what I was doing and what I wanted. I scheduled a trial run for my mother and I. Sarah was very easy to work with! It was a nice relaxing application process. The result was amazing! Exactly what I asked for. I wanted a neutral look but I wanted it to be glam enough to be wedding makeup. On the other hand, my mom didn’t know what she wanted, so they figured it out together. I had an early wedding and Sarah (the lovely woman that she is) came over at 5:45am. She was quick, professional, and talented! I’m so glad I hired her to do my makeup. I highly recommend her!
Sarah did my makeup for my engagement photoshoot and I felt so beautiful thanks to her. My skin was flawless. It was so hot on the day of our photoshoot and my makeup stayed on and did not crease. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she did a perfect job at recreating the makeup look. She is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Sarah for your wedding makeup. I can't wait for her to be there on my wedding day.
Sarah was an incredible vendor to work with for my wedding day. She is so kind, friendly, and quick to respond. We did an initial call where she allowed me to get to know her, was up front with details, willing to allow as many questions as I needed.. I knew on that call that Sarah was someone I could trust to do her best to make me feel beautiful. And holy cow, I was right. Her work was absolutely stunning and exactly what I wanted! Plus, it held up PERFECTLY. At 2am when we finally went to get ready for bed after the best day, it still looked like it did when she finished applying it hours earlier. Thank you, Sarah, for listening to me and making me feel so beautiful. I would work with you for any and all events!

Desi,
The pleasure was all mine. Thank you for trusting me with your makeup needs on your special day; especially considering we did your trial only 4 days prior to your wedding! I feel like I've known you for a long time; you were so sweet to...
work with and you made such a beautiful bride. Congratulations on becoming a Mrs.! I am truly lucky to have been chosen as your makeup artist for your magical day!
Thank you!
Sarah
Sarah was AMAZING! She was very patient and listened to everything I wanted. She gave great feedback and was very responsive! I was unable to do a trial run because I was eloping in CA, but Sarah made it work! She texted me beforehand and made sure I was comfortable going into the big day. She made everyone in my party feel beyond gorgeous, and she really added to the day. I am so happy I found Sarah to be a part of the day. She really made it special, and she made me feel and look so great.
I also love following her instagram. She posts great makeup reviews!
I was recommended to Sarah by a mutual friend after having a disastrous trial 2 months before my wedding. She was quick to respond and happy to set up a trial with me. She took the time to listen to what I liked and disliked about my previous make up artist. Within a couple hours all my worries melted away! She make me look like a refined version of myself and I could not wait to have her take care of me and my bridal party on my special day!
When the wedding day came she was on time and all set up for our arrival. She took her time with each of my bridesmaids and my mom while making sure we were running on schedule. Everyone was so happy with their makeup and I felt like the best version of myself.
My makeup lasted all night through tears and sweating up a storm on the dance floor.
I hope I have a special occasion soon to get glammed up by Sarah again or even find an excuse to just hang out again!!
Don’t hesitate anymore- her prices are competitive and you will not regret booking her!
Thank you Sarah!!!!

Thank you so much for this amazing review. Your wedding was picture perfect and I had so much fun with you and your tribe! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day, it was truly magical. Congratulations and I can't...
wait to see what the next chapter in your love story will be ;)
Thank you!

Sarah absolutely made our day! She's energetic, fun, accommodating, graceful under pressure, just the best! I recommend her for any event and will be bugging her to come put my lashes on next time ;)
Much love!
Response from the Vendor on 05/07/2019
Thank you so much for your kind words. I had so much fun getting you and your bridesmaids ready; you guys were a blast! I'm here anytime you need lashes :) Can't wait until the next time!
Sarah did my wedding make up and it looked wonderful. I didn't have to tell her what I wanted, she just knew what would look nice. She can enhance your own natural beauty without making you look overly made up. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a nice makeover.
Sarah has been my go to girl since I got married. She’s done my make up for baby showers, family portraits and countless other events. I can show her a picture to replicate, or describe what I’m wearing and every single time my make up turns out even more beautiful then I expected. She’s extremely sweet and has talent beyond belief. Her make up and supplies are always exceptionally clean. There’s no one else I would even consider if I needed my make up to be perfect! She truly is the best!

Thank you so much Renee! From the day I did your wedding makeup, it has been amazing getting to know you and seeing your family grow. I can't wait until your next special occasion, so I can do your makeup and we can catch up :).
Sarah is amazing! I got married on July 21st 2018 and I felt beautiful! She traveled to me for both a trial run and the day of my wedding! She was always on time and did an amazing job! She did a great job making sure everyone was done on time and made sure we felt beautiful! I would highly recommend Sarah for your big day!

Kaitlyn,
I LOVED working with you and your family. From the minute that we did your trial until the very last little makeup detail on your wedding day, I completely vibed with you and saw your vision for your formal evening wedding! I am so gra...
teful to have been able to get you ready on your wedding day and what makes it even better is that you had a great experience with my services. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to deliver these kind words in your review of my services :)
I cannot rave enough about the amazing makeup job Sarah did for our daughter’s wedding. It was VERY important to have everything perfect. Sarah went over and above our expectations. She met with us before the wedding for a bridal trial run. Amazing! Then on the day of the wedding Sarah did the most amazing job for my daughter and I. She showed up on time & finished our makeup on time. Most important, my daughter’s makeup looked stunning & she felt absolutely beautiful. We all did thanks to Sarah.
Beauty on the Glo was amazing!!! I had a few trial runs with other makeup artists and at some beauty counters in the mall and nothing compared to how naturally she enhanced my features with highlighting and contouring! Seriously magic!!!! I wanted all my girls to look and feel as fabulous as I did after my trial so I booked Sarah for myself and bridesmaids as their thank you gift for being apart of my special day. Thank you Sarah for everything!!!
Choosing Beauty on the Glo was by far the most important part of planning for my big day. Sarah took all the worry away from myself, mom, grandma, and all my bridesmaids that day by having us all ready and on schedule. She did a full face trial run for me in advance that put me at ease for the big day.... which led to all my bridesmaids wanting their makeup done by her for the wedding as well. Getting ready In my bridal suit was one of my most precious memories... a room filled with the most important and loved woman in my life. Muisic playing, champagne toasts and of course some dancing all while Sarah worked her magic and got 9 of us ready for the aisle, on time, calm, and feeling our best! My skin looked flawless, lashes were completely comfortable, my lips and eyebrows were perfect (I’m super picky) and Sarah’s fun vibes gelled right in making my memories of the day forever special. Several friends of mine at my wedding and in my bridal party have used Beauty on the Glo after such an amazing experience and seeing her work!!! Highly recommend to all!!!!!

Thank you for your review Stephanie, but more importantly, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. It was truly magical!
My experience with Beauty on the Glo was actually my first wedding make up experience and it was a great one to say the least! Sarah was super kind and very willing to listen to each person's wishes. My mom (mother of the groom) was unsure about getting her make up done as she isn't one to wear make up at all and she was very concerned that the faux lashes would cause her contacts issues. Sarah was incredible and made sure my mom felt comfortable by talking through each step she was doing. At the end of the day, all of the bridesmaids looked great, and our make up did not crack and lasted through the night. I would highly recommend Beauty on the Glo if you are looking for a quality experience that leaves you feeling beautiful!
Response from the Vendor on 02/12/2019
Callie, you and your mom were so fun to work with! I am so happy that I was able to give you a great first experience! Your mom was also the sweetest person. We had the sweetest moment talking about our kids, specifically your brother (since he...
was the one getting married) and my son. I could just tell that you are such a close knit family and it was amazing getting to know you ladies! Thank you for letting me glam you and thank you for your amazing review of my services :)

All of my experiences with such lines as LORAC, MAC, BareMinerals, and NYX shaped and molded me into the artist I am today.
It wasn't until I got married and had my 3rd child that I decided to do wedding makeup full time. I LOVE being part of the wedding day magic and can't wait to sprinkle a little of my makeup magic on you. Xoxo, Sarah
