From the moment we reached out to Blushed by Brink, they were quick, helpful, and responsive in all of our communications. The team proved to be incredibly thorough and timely in their work, ensuring our wedding day beauty look was exactly what we envisioned. They brought a fun, positive energy on the day of the wedding that was so appreciated - they were flexible with our timeline and truly helped make the experience stress-free. Blushed by Brink's attention to detail and commitment to their craft is unparalleled, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend this talented team of beauty professionals!
These ladies are awesome! Professional, very responsive, and listened to exactly what we wanted to give us our dream hair and makeup! And they were able to accommodate everyone in our 2 bride party. All of our looks stayed throughout the day and night, through crying and dancing. We’re so happy we booked them! Thank you again Tarah and Madison!
Blushed by Brink was incredible from start to finish! Tarah was extremely communicative, kind, accommodating, and intentional. They set clear expectations and outlines for our wedding and my trial. Madison and Tarah were incredible makeup artists. They listened to exactly what we wanted for HMU for the day. They were professional, fun, caring, talented, communicative and timely. Highly highly recommend for all HMU needs!
Tarah and the blushedbybrink team were amazing! They were super communicative, professional and talented. They made our wedding day experience more fun and laid back (she even had wellness checks to make sure we were drinking water/eating food!). The hair and makeup stayed the entire night for all of us and had everyone feeling so so beautiful. I loved working with this vendor and would highly recommend this team!
Blushedbybrink did a great job for my and my wife's hair and makeup on the big day. We loved the results and were really happy with how we both looked. Tarah did my trial and make up. She really listened to what I wanted and made me look great. I would hire them again!
Tarah and her team at blushed by brink were truly what dreams are made of! I could not have been happier.
From booking to my trial to the day of Tarah was responsive, easy to communicate with, punctual, and overall a pleasure to work with. The actual hair and make up was to die for and couldn't have been more perfect. Blushed by brink knows how to make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself and I am so grateful to have had her on my team for our big day!
Tarah and her team are awesome! She did a great job with my preview, and she and Nina were really expeditious and organized the day of the event. I felt like I looked like myself but with that extra little confidence to enjoy my big day. I would definitely recommend Tarah in my highest terms!
Flawless Makeup Artists - Friendly, Flexible, and Fantastic!
I can't recommend them enough! The team brought incredible flexibility, friendliness, and skill to my wedding day. Kim and Stevie made the getting ready process fly by with their amazing work and positive energy. From flawless makeup to a joyful atmosphere, they made my day extra special. Highly recommend for a stress-free and beautiful experience!
I had a great experience working with Blushed by Brink for my wedding this past week. Tarah was very responsive and helpful with all of my questions when booking, and she helped me pick the package that worked best for my wedding party. Before my trial, Tarah communicated that my lead artist backed out of my wedding day, and in the same email, she let me know that she found a replacement lead artist and was personally going to serve as the second artist. I was appreciative that Tarah resolved this issue so professionally and that she found a solution before I was even aware of the problem. I loved working with Kim as my lead artist - she listened to what I envisioned, was super open to making modifications based on feedback I gave after my trial, and did such an amazing job with both my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Both Tarah and Kim also did a great job with hair/makeup for our moms and with hair for my bridesmaids, and I would highly recommend working with them for your own wedding!
Finally getting around to writing my vendor reviews after getting married in February 2023 but if you’re reading, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO HIRE BLUSHEDBYBRINK!! Tarah is an absolute sweet angel and exactly who you want on your team for the biggest day of your life. She is calm and professional, uses high quality brands, and is on top of the latest products! It’s clear that she’s very passionate about her business. I’m so glad I did my bridal preview with her because she worked with me to tweak and create the perfect glam look — completely customized to my liking. She made me feel comfortable with speaking up if I wanted a product or color adjusted, and it was all worth it because everything turned out AMAZING on my wedding day! I chose a glam look and my hair & makeup looked beautiful in photos and in person, plus it stayed put all night long! Tarah and her team also glammed up my mother and all my bridesmaids, and everyone looked absolutely stunning. See the proof for yourself on my Instagram @beverlypham!! I didn’t know it was possible to be 100% happy with how I look and I can confidently say that Tarah has done it. Thank you for being a part of my dream day!! ❤️
Tarah & Madison were the makeup artists for our April 2023 wedding- a fantastic sister duo! From communication leading up to the day to execution of my and each wedding party's hair and makeup vision, we had an amazing experience. Each person, no matter their age, style or glam level, looked like the best version of themselves. That's what I loved most about BBB's style- I still looked like me, but a glam me. They are skilled, professional, on-time, prepared, and truly listen to what you want. On top of all of that, they were just really fun and nice to be around! So important on your wedding day when you and your nearest and dearest are with them for hours.
Tarah and Annie did hair and makeup for myself and two of my bridesmaids for my May 2022 wedding. Not only did they do an amazing job on our hair and makeup, they made the morning so enjoyable with their fun and relatable personalities. They were both incredibly professional and I appreciate Tarah’s quick and friendly communication with me leading up to the day. She also was so easy to work with the day of my trial and walked me through the whole process. Being the first of my friends to get married, this was so helpful to me. I am very grateful to Tarah and BlushedByBrink for making me feel like my best self on the most important day of my life!
Tarah and the entire BlushedbyBrink team went above and beyond to make me and my bridesmaids feel our best on my wedding day. Tarah is SO personable and genuinely develops relationships with her clients, which is essential as she spends so much time with you in preparation for your big day!!! She does a stellar job of ensuring that your hair and makeup is exactly the way you have envisioned! I highly recommend entrusting your beauty service needs with BlushedbyBrink.
I’m friends with Tarah’s sister, so naturally, I just HAD to book them as my wedding MUA! I did a makeup trial and bridal preview, prior to my wedding. Tarah is such a sweetheart and bada$$ mom - we could talk for hours! I ended up doing both hair & makeup with blushedbybrink.
The entire team made me and my girls feel so comfortable and beautiful. As a bride, it can be worrisome if your bridesmaids will like they way they look day-of, and my girls could not stop raving about their hair & makeup. It was an amazing experience with blushedbybrink, and I’m looking forward to booking them for photo shoots in the future!
I’m so glad I chose blushedbybrink! both my hair and makeup exceeded my expectations. They’re were so helpful and sweet, I would strongly recommend them!!
Tarah was a fantastic make-up and hair artist for my wedding! We were planning on a relatively short time frame, and I was so lucky that she had availability on our date. Everything from first connecting with her, to the trial, to the wedding day was perfect. She did such a great job on my hair and makeup - I have never felt so beautiful!! Tarah and her team also did hair/makeup for my sister, mom, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law. They all looked and felt beautiful. It was a really fun experience, and I would definitely recommend Tarah and her team!
Honestly, I was so nervous to book a vendor I had never met from long distance and WOW was I pleasantly surprised! Tarah is amazing and she has a very well run business! She came with her own full setup with table and all and she and her employee Nina did such a fantastic job! Makeup and hair for 6 girls in a timely manner at our Airbnb, I felt like a queen! I LOVED my hair - and it looked so cool in all our pictures. And my makeup was so perfect, and different than what I was used to - and I loved it so much that I asked for the products she used so I could recreate the look and incorporate them into my daily routine! Can't say enough great things about Tarah and her crew!!!
Tarah did my engagement photo makeup and it was amazing! I had an idea of what I wanted and she made it happen and more. She checked in with me at every step of the way to make sure I liked the look. The photos went great and the look held up all day running around on the beach. Would gladly go with Tarah again 😍
I met Tarah and Madison when I was a bridesmaid in another wedding, so as soon as I got engaged I knew I had to book them immediately! Their entire team is absolutely incredible and made me, my bridesmaids and our moms all feel so beautiful! Tarah did my hair and makeup and it turned out even better than I could have imagined! I will absolutely be recommending Tarah and Madison to any of my friends getting engaged :)
The friendliest professional crew I could have ever wished to have on my team. From the moment I fell upon the BlushedByBrink site I knew they were the exact style I was looking for. I had a range of skin tones, ages and styles in bridal party and we all looked absolutely beautiful. Not made over at all. Maddy and team simple brought out our natural beauty and threw a spotlight on it! If your looking to showcase the best version of you, this is your team!
Great experience! Tarah did both my hair and makeup and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Tarah did great work on my wedding makeup & that of my bridal party, but honestly was a bit high strung. She brought stress into my special day. COVID understandably was part of my big day, but she was the only vendor that made a big deal about it. If you are a very COVID cautious bride type A personality, Tarah is an awesome vendor for you and I would absolutely recommend. If you are more of a Type B person, I would recommend you interview your potential vendors over face time to get a quick vibe check first 😊
I would hire Blushedbybrink over and over again. They were beyond AMAZING. Tarah is always quick to respond and very helpful with any questions or concerns I had throughout the whole process. We had a bridesmaid who couldn't make it to the wedding because she came down with COVID the night before and Tarah worked with us on altering the schedule. On the day of the wedding, the ladies arrived on time. Madison did my bridal hair and makeup and she did a phenomenal job. I had changed a few things after my bridal preview with her and she did exactly what I was looking for and it turned out perfect. Tarah and Stevie did the hair and makeup for the bridesmaids, mother of the bride and flower girls. Everyone was extremely satisfied with their hair and makeup. They all had different hair styles and makeup styles and they were able to accommodate everyone. While we were having our hair and makup done, Tarah, Madison and Stevie were fun to talk to and be around. They made the stressfulness of the day seem nonexistent. I would highly recommend Blushedbybrink to any bride for their wedding day. They will not disappoint you.
I loved working with Blushed by Brink on my wedding day! They did a phenomenal job on my wedding hair and makeup - I received so many compliments and felt like a princess all night. I had sample photos of what I was going for and they duplicated it even better than I could’ve imagined. I also remember being incredibly stressed the day of the event and their calm presence helped my nerves and made the morning so fun and easy. All 8 of us - myself, my bridesmaids, mother in law, and mother - loved how great our hair and makeup turned out and how fun the team was to work with. Madison and Tarah are fantastic to work with - I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
I reached out to Tarah because a friend of mine looked so naturally glamorous at her wedding that I wanted that same type of style at my wedding. From the first contact, Tarah was so helpful and provided me with tips on finding hair extensions, etc. Madison was my stylist for my big day. The trial was so perfectly what I envisioned and Madison and Tarah both made me feel so comfortable and special. On my wedding day, I threw Madison a couple of curveballs that she handled so well. One of those was the head jewelry I wanted out in my hair… WITH HAIR EXTENSIONS! She not only did it, my hair and the jewelry looked flawless all night long. My mom also loved the way she looked. We both felt gorgeous!!! Highly highly recommend Blushed by Brink for any special occasions where you want to look your best!!
Tarah was the absolute best! She was excellent at communicating and really takes the time to get to know her clients! I highly highly highly recommend her for your event. So professional and I got tons of compliments on my hair and makeup! As a bride I really appreciated how calm she made me feel the morning of my wedding and I could never thank her enough for that!
From the moment I inquired, Tarah was punctual and professional. Everything was very straight forward, and she was so helpful! Tarah did my makeup for my engagement shoot, a trial for my wedding, and hair and makeup for my wedding as well as my maid of honors makeup. My engagement shoot was during the height of COVID and I was concerned about safety, but was happy to learn that Tarah did everything she could to take all of the right precautions while still making getting my makeup done a fun and comfortable experience. Tarah is so warm and right after meeting her you feel like you have been friends for years! She is extremely talented and is great at making you look beautiful, but still like yourself-not like you are wearing a bunch of makeup, which was super important to me! I love that she keeps you involved thought-out the process asking what you like and what you don’t. She takes direction well and genuinely wants to make sure YOU feel YOUR most beautiful on your wedding day. Would recommend her 1,000X over!! Thank you for everything Tarah!
The entire Blushed by Brink team was very professional and personable and made the process of organizing hair and makeup for my bridal party so easy. We had great communication up until the big day and Tarah was very flexible and accommodating. I was able to relax and enjoy every moment without having to worry. Her team arrived on time and were very skilled and personable. Everyone in my bridal party was very impressed with how their hair and makeup turned out. I was so happy with my hair and makeup too and felt natural like I had wanted to look. Tarah was always so good at listening to my needs and finding the right colors and look that I wanted. She was also fun and easy to work with. And to top it off, her prices were very reasonable. Overall it was an exceptional experience and I highly recommend her services!
I honestly had the best experience working with blushedbybrink. Tarah was responsive and collaborative leading up to my big day, and provided a detailed schedule for me and my bridal party. On the day of, her team brought so much fun, positivity and energy. And they made all of us look STUNNING! I have never felt so beautiful, and all my bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup. Thank you blushedbybrink for helping to make the day so memorable -- thanks to you, my confidence soared through the roof.
Blushed by Brink did my wedding hair and make up along with 8 others in my wedding party! I had so many compliments on my "natural glam" look and it lasted all day and night! After being in many weddings myself, there are horror stories with make up/hair. Book with Blushed by Brink for amazing work AND peace of mind. They were responsive, reliable and organized! Tarah provided us with a schedule of who would go when and with what artist and everything was on time. My bridal party was so impressed! The girls all fit in with my bridal party and made the morning of enjoyable and so much fun!
Madison and Shadi were our team for our October 2, 2021 wedding. I can't say enough about how charming, professional and friendly they both were about each of our insecurities, particularities and concerns about looking just right for the big day. They felt like friends by the end of the day. Most importantly that offered great advice, they listened and they made us all look and feel beautiful!! Thank you so much Madison and Shadi!!
Tarah and everyone at BlushedbyBrink are simply the best! They are so professional, very responsive to emails/questions, talented, and the sweetest people to work with! Tarah was so, so helpful and supportive while we struggled through multiple postponements due to the pandemic. And when the Wedding day finally arrived it felt like she was a friend there helping to get us ready! Even before the wedding day, she was so helpful doing multiple hair/makeup previews with me until I found just the right look. I felt beautiful all night long, and I know it wouldn’t have been the same without the perfect team! If you’re on the fence, I hope this review will convince you - because this vendor is truly the best!
Tarah did my hair and makeup for my July ’21 wedding and I could not have been more happy with the services provided.
I initially picked Tarah because she had such strong communication compared to some other vendors I was speaking with. She responded clearly, promptly, and in detail to all my questions - all the time. This proved to be super helpful going though this pandemic year+ as she kept reaching out with updates and in the hectic weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure we had our plan for the big day.
I booked Tarah before having a hair and makeup trial, which I was initially hesitant to do. However, she was able to answer all my questions about the trial thoroughly and I was satisfied to go ahead. On the day of the trial, we tried one look that didn’t quite work out at first, but Tarah worked with me and made adjustments until I was happy, carefully listening to every detail about what I liked or didn’t like, and taking note of it so we got it right on the big day.
On the wedding day, Tarah and team had such a fun but calm energy and were so easy to be around. Everything went smoothly and my whole party was happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. I highly recommend Tarah’s services to anyone looking for an excellent hair and makeup artist!
I should also mention that during all services, I always felt comfortable COVID-wise. Tarah always wore a mask and took precautions to keep things clean.
Tarah is extremely talented and one of the best makeup and hair artists I have ever worked with. We used her for both our engagement pictures and for our wedding day. She was able to manage our large (very picky) bridal party, with several different requested styles, and was extremely professional and easy to work with. She suggested hair and makeup styles that she thought would go well with my dress, and for our engagement session recommended a warm color palette which I never knew would complement my skin tone so well! She uses high-quality products and has a great eye for style. I would hire her again for any event and trust her judgment completely. We would highly recommend hiring Tarah and BlushedByBrink for your event - she will make you and your girls feel beautiful and comfortable on your big day!!
I booked BlushedbyBrink for my wedding over a year ago that was supposed to be for my wedding back in May of 2020. However, with the world in a rut and weddings being pushed, after a few new dates my new March 2021 wedding finally happened. Tarah was very accommodating and had no trouble at all with all the date changes that were made. More importantly she did some amazing work on my girls and myself for the big day. The airbrush make up lasted all night and then some. I asked for a very natural neutral color and that's exactly what I got. I also changed the hairstyle that I wanted last minute as well and it turned out better than I expected for a last minute change.
Blushed by Brink is absolutely unmatched! We had the pleasure of working with Madison for our 3/13 wedding and we could not have been more impressed, elated, and more than anything grateful for her services. She is not only INCREDIBLY talented when it comes to makeup and design, but really takes the time to listen to what your vision is, and molds it into her own. She is by far the most talented makeup artist I’ve ever encountered and I cannot sing her praises loud enough. As if her skills weren’t enough to warrant a glowing review, she’s also just an absolute joy to have around, especially on such an exciting occasion such as a wedding. We are so grateful for Blushed by Brink’s services and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks, or doesn’t ask for that matter! Look no further :)
I was extremely happy with the services that blushedbybrink provided and I received so many compliments all day about my hair and make up! Tara was absolutely amazing! I’ve had a few bad experiences with hairstyles prior to seeing Tarah. My wedding was a month away and I still didn’t have a make up artist, nor a hairstylist! I was very fortunate to find blushedbybrink on theknot.com
She was so sweet from the beginning and very responsive. We were able to schedule a trial within 10 days and the part that I loved most is that she really listened to what I liked and didn’t like, what I was looking for and worked with me until we got the look I desired. The service was very covid friendly and I felt very safe around!
The day of the wedding was stressful, but Tarah and her team made the getting ready enjoyable! My hair and make up looked even better on the wedding day! It was exactly what I wanted and more and it truly was because Tarah really understood what I was looking for and added her creativity to enhance it!
I want to highly recommend Blushed by Brink to anyone in need of a hair and make-up stylist! Tarah was amazing from the start of the process through my wedding day. She is so personable, kind, and patient; you can tell she truly loves what she does. She really cares about her clients and making sure they feel beautiful and get the exact look they want.
Tarah did my hair and make-up for my engagement photos and also my wedding day. She and her team were very professional, arrived on time, and accommodated all 10 of the ladies! Every bridesmaid and mom looked amazing.
Tarah was so great to work with, even with the challenges of COVID, rescheduling our wedding twice, and pouring rain on the wedding day. She always quickly responded to my emails, reassuring me, giving me suggestions and advice to ensure everything went smoothly and looked great on the wedding day.
Having Tarah and her team there for my wedding put my mind at ease; I knew she would get the look I wanted and could relax! I cannot recommend Blushed by Brink enough and am so grateful to have had Tarah as such an important part of my engagement and wedding!
Tarah & Madison were FANTASTIC!!! They did WONDERFUL work. All of our make up and hair was beyond our expectations. They did 8 different people in my wedding party, were on time, and so friendly. Honestly, we were all nervous because I didn't even have a trial and it was beyond my wildest expectations. Everyone was commenting on our hair and make up. My wedding coordinator even asked for their contact information because they said everyone's hair and make up was so beautiful. I cannot say enough positive things about them, their work, their professionalism, and their Covid safety policies. Everything was perfect!!
From start to finish, working with Tarah & the blushed by brink team felt like family. I had my preview before the lockdown, & Tarah felt like an old friend. Tarah’s team did all of my bridal parties makeup (including my mom), and made sure everyone felt beautiful all night.
My makeup & hair were picture perfect, and stayed that way til after the wedding! While getting ready, I was having some day of anxiety and she constantly reassured me the entire time. Tarah was also very helpful when it came to communicating regarding covid/changes in schedule/flexibility being on site. If I had any friends getting married any time soon, i would definitely suggest using the blushed by brink team!
These ladies were so amazing for wedding makeup! First, they were super accommodating during these tough times with COVID-19. They wore masks and took all the safety precautions necessary, all while still making it such a fun and enjoyable experience. They did a great job following our inspo pics as well as giving their own recommendations and everyone was so happy with how their makeup came out! They were professional AND so kind and fun! I would definitely recommend Blushed by Brink to anyone looking for bridal hair and makeup!
Tarah was amazing - she did my hair & makeup for my wedding. She was extremely safe (which was important with Covid), professional, and friendly. She made me look & feel beautiful and listened to what I wanted so felt like myself. It was exactly what I wanted!
I very rarely write reviews but I wanted to write one for Blushed By Brink to let everyone know how simply AMAZING they are!! Tarah was so responsive and helpful leading up to the day of the wedding! Then, on the day of the wedding she totally nailed it. Everyone that got their hair & makeup done absolutely loved their look (which is definitely saying something for my picky family). Also, because of Covid I decided not to have a hair/ makeup trial- however they totally nailed my bridal look! I’ve never felt more beautiful. In addition to that I felt safe & comfortable with their safety precautions during times of Covid. They were also super flexible - because we had to change venues last minute. Wedding planning right now is stressful but Blushed By Brink helped make our day run so smoothly! I highly recommend using them, you won’t regret it. :)
I booked Tarah Just a few weeks before my wedding and she was Super flexible with my time and date. From the moment she arrived she had an amazing vibe and made me feel at ease. She nailed my hair and makeup vision and her pricing was very reasonable. I couldn’t be more happier with her talented work and her personality. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! 5 star service!
Tarah and Madison were wonderful! My hair style was one of my absolute favorite things about my wedding. I will probably never top that, it was amazing! Honestly though, everything they did was beautiful. They did a great job interpreting not only my inspiration pictures, but also those of my bridesmaids. Everyone was super happy and looked beautiful! The make up was not too heavy, looked great in pictures, and lasted throughout the night. On top of that, they were sweet, calm, and organized throughout the whole process which was really a blessing. I would highly recommend them.
Tarah was my hair artist for my wedding day and I was amazed at not only her work, but her personality and passion for the industry as well. There were quite a few stress factors leading up to my big day, but Tarah was so amazingly helpful that I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have found her! If you're looking for a hair stylist to make you ultra glam, I would highly recommend Tarah and her team. :)
This review is a bit odd to write considering I had to cancel my 4/18/20 wedding due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus. But I felt it absolutely necessary to make future couples aware of how amazing Madison and Tarah are at what they do!
Though my wedding has been canceled, I did get to meet Madison and have her perform my wedding makeup trial. She was so down to earth and real - having my makeup done by her felt like chatting with an old friend while getting dolled up. You can tell she cares so deeply about her craft and she worked tirelessly to make my makeup perfect. She also checked in with me the next day to see how my makeup held up and if I had any concerns, which I so appreciated.
Though I never met Tarah, corresponding with her over email was SO easy and smooth. She effectively handled a few last-minute changes I wanted to make and worked with me to make sure I felt supported every step of the way. She also responded within 24 hours every time I reached out - I never had to follow up, which is honestly so refreshing during a time where you're dealing with multiple different vendors. I also really appreciate that Blushed by Brink put their pricing and policy info directly on their website. When you're planning a wedding, small details like transparency really set vendors apart!
A quick note on the makeup itself. I am Indian and going into finding a makeup artist, I was so worried I wouldn't be able to find one who properly understood my skin tone and was able to achieve the look I wanted. I wasn't having a traditional Indian ceremony so I didn't want super heavy/dramatic makeup, but I did want a more glam look than usual natural makeup. I also usually don't wear makeup on a daily basis. Madison took a look at my Pinterest board and immediately knew what to do, even when my request was slightly outside Blushed by Brink's more natural aesthetic - and she matched my skin flawlessly with her airbrush makeup. For brides of color out there who are worried about the nuances of their skin tone, rest assured that you are in great hands with Madison and Tarah.
I could tell from first booking through to my makeup trial and beyond that these sisters care so much for their craft and for their clients. Both their work and their customer service is exceptional in every sense of the word. Though my actual celebration plans are up in the air, I will absolutely be going back to Blushed by Brink when I can.
I 100000% recommend Tarah and Madison to any bride in the Orange County or San Diego area!
Madison and Tarah are honestly the perfect duo!
Madison and Tarah did the make-up for myself and my bridal party for the day of my wedding. They both were amazing with myself and my bridal party!
Most of my bridal party (including myself) tend to go pretty light (or without) make up most of the time. Tarah and Madison were able to take that information and still allow me and the bridesmaids to feel comfortable in our own skin. The girls hair and makeup looked absolutely beautiful! The bridesmaids were definitely feeling themselves throughout the evening and were really happy with how the final look came out. My makeup honestly lasted throughout the entire evening (including my bawling at the alter) and mine and the bridesmaid's hairs looked flawless even by the end of the night. Pricewise, these ladies were right on track with what I was seeing for a lot of orange county prices. But, I think their open communication and welcoming personality and commitment to a schedule make them worth the price of their services.
Do yourself a favor and hire these two wonderful women. They were so friendly, authentic, and delivered an incredible product. It was also so much fun to include them in my party's "getting ready" morning which incorporated binge-watching Love is Blind. You ladies are beyond incredible and I am so thankful that you both were there to beautify me for my special day!
Hiring blushedbybrink for my wedding day was easily one of the best decisions I made. This sister duo is incredibly talent and brought my wedding hair visions to life! Not only that, but they are as sweet as can be, and definitely made me feel relaxed on such a high-stress day. They are super affordable and do a top notch job; I can not recommend them enough!
If I could give six stars I would!! I had the most amazing time with blushedbybrink! I met Tarah for my trial and we talked like we had been friends for years! Not only did her and Madison make me feel like the most beautiful person in the world, they took the time to get to know me and my bridesmaids! I had an 11am ceremony so these poor ladies had a 7am start time and were smiling the whole time! Their assistant Devynne was very sweet and professional, but seriously her makeup was AMAZING. I hope to have an excuse to do my makeup sometime so I can hire them again. They were seriously wonderful and everyone in my wedding party had a glowing review. You would be making a huge mistake if you didn't hire them!
Working with Tarah was probably one of my favorite parts of my entire wedding :) She was so much fun to chat with and she nailed exactly how I wanted my hair and makeup. On the day of Madison was taking care of my bridesmaids, and it was just a great experience overall. Thank you ladies!!!
Ladies, if you are looking for an AMAZING hair and makeup team - look no further. Tarah was absolutely amazing and made me look and feel beautiful for my wedding. You know those people you meet, that you just know in your heart are good people and you want to be friends with them? That’s Tarah. She’s a beautiful soul who is passionate about what she does and loves Love. ❤️❤️Thanks Tarah and blushedbybrink!
I worked with Madison to get my bridal hair and bridesmaids hair done for my wedding in October and truly she was perfect. I’m the type of person who doesn’t really get “done up” on a day to day basis so during the hair trial I wasn’t really sure what direction I wanted to go in. Madison busted out a gorgeous hairstyle that I was enamored with. Then on the actual big day it was lovely watching her give each of my bridesmaids proper time for their hair as well. She pulled a lot of artistry into it by giving them all braids, but they were all different styles of braid. My hair stayed styled all night even after rigorous dancing and I couldn’t have been happier. Full five stars!
Ladies, if you are in the So Cal area and need a beauty vendor blushedbybrink is by far the best seriously you won't be let down. Tarah and Devynne did an extraordinary job on all of us girls (12 jobs total for hair and make up) for my 1920's themed wedding. Product and instruments we're clean and sterile, and were used with high quality make up that lasted the entire evening.
Tarah and Devynne were very attentive and cared to each of the girls needs and wants, and truly executed them flawlessly. Also when researching beauty vendors I found blushedbybrink to be the most reasonable in their contractual requirements. Basically my diamond in the rough, and my day would not have been what it was without them.
thank you ladies! I can't say that enough!
A bit of background: my style is very much not "glamorous" -- I tend to go almost too natural with my daily makeup. For my wedding day though, I knew my usual style wouldn't photograph well or match my gown, but it was important that I still be able to recognize and feel like myself. If you look at samples of their work, they're totally pros when it comes to enhancing brides' natural beauty while still making them look bridal. But what really cinched the deal was how professional and easy to work with they are!
I wasn't at all decided on what hairstyles to do, but they provided some great insights and recommendations on what would work best for my personal style, hair texture, and accessories. They were very patient, answered all my questions, and I never once felt rushed, even though I know I can be pretty indecisive. The makeup trial with Tarah eased a lot of my nerves on the actual wedding day but we had already worked out my lip color, eye color, and plus, I got to know her a little better before the whirlwind of the wedding day came!
The day-of went pretty smoothly, Tarah and Madison were very easy-going and friendly with everyone there, and they did an amazing job on my three bridesmaids, the moms, and I. There were no set styles for the bridesmaids' hair and makeup outside of the bronze eyeshadow, but I trusted that Tarah and Madison would make them look gorgeous in any case. Our airbrush makeup survived our very balmy 89 degree day, and everything stayed in place for the rest of the night even despite all the dancing! I would hire them all over again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend them!
I booked with Tarah to have my make-up done for a more upscale wedding I attended as a guest last month. I don't own too much make-up, so I was a little overwhelmed at the idea of purchasing and doing it myself. I'm SO glad I booked with her. Tarah had plenty of color options and was patient to help me find a look that had me feeling glamorous, but still like myself. Plus my make-up stayed put all night. Booking and commuication was also a breeze. You can really tell she loves what she does and cares about the quality of her work...Thanks Tarah!
I am so happy I decided to go with Tarah and Madison for my wedding. You can definitely tell the sisters love and enjoy what they are doing. They made everything so easy and responded extremely quickly during our initial meeting and were available throughout the planning process whenever needed. Tarah and Madison are super efficient, kind, up-beat ladies and made the morning of my wedding extremely calming and fun- which was exactly what I needed.
Blushed by Brink worked on a total of 8 ladies for my wedding - bride, 3 BM, MOB, MOG, & SIL- I was the type of bride that gave her girls free reign. Each hair and makeup was customized to the individual's preference and they looked stunning. Even my Mom, who is not used to getting dolled up, looked and felt incredible.
As for me, I have never felt more radiant. My make-up lasted all night long and was super lightweight. It all still felt and looked like me, but with just the right amount of bridal glam! You definitely could not tell I wasn’t able to sleep at all the night before. Madison made sure to take her time and perfected every curl, twist, and braid in my hair. Not a pin came out of place throughout all the jumping, spinning, and twirling I was doing on the dance floor.
I was the maid of honor for my best friends wedding and had the best experience! Tarah is like a fairy godmother with her makeup brush! She truly made me feel like a boho mermaid with my curls and braids! She is so professional and creates a calming fun environment! Thank you blushedbybrink for making me look and feel amazing!
Tarah and Madison are one talented duo! Not only are the fun, friendly and professional, but their number 1 goal is also to make you feel beautiful. They flawlessly executed on the look I wanted as well as for the entire bridal party.
I would highly recommend Blushed by Brink for any event!
My wedding was July 27th, 2019. I had to hire vendors remotely because we had a destination wedding. Madison and Tarah were very responsive and very thorough when answering all my questions during the planning process. I had a 4 day window when I would be visiting California in the spring and they were able to schedule my trial around my travel plans. They day of the wedding was so fun. Having Madison and Aubrey there was like having more girl friends around to celebrate! We ran a little behind schedule but they worked together to make sure everyone was done in time for photos. I was a dancing machine at my wedding and ended up very sweaty, but my hair and make up looked absolutely perfect all night. I couldn't believe it! They did such a great job. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking for a talented, professional, and fun glam squad!
