Blushtan Palm Beach

cable makeup that lasted all day/night. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

s actually pretty difficult. I was willing to try freelancers straight out of beauty school, but the few I got in contact with had no understanding of why certain types of makeup should not be used with flash photography and finally I was at my breaking point. I found April through a coworker of my mother, and although her prices were about twice as high as industry average in the area, I decided that proper makeup was important enough for me to do a trial and made the trip. April is excellent. The girl knows her stuff. I watched her put maybe five different neutral-ish colors on her brush at once in order to create the exact shades she wanted and wow, it came out perfect. I described what I was looking for and she nailed. She was super nice and professional, and also very careful about cleaning and cross-contamination which is a huge thing for me. It was so great to see her so conscientious. We didn't quite get the right lip color on the trial day after 3-4 tries but she was super patient and we nailed it the day of. On the actual day, she came in right on time and got right to work. None of my bridesmaids are comfortable with makeup and after asking them what their normal routine is, she made everything so beautifully subtle that they all loved it. My photos came out great because everyone looks like the most beautiful version of themselves. We all chose regular foundation instead of airbrushing because it was too expensive, but none of us had any issue with smearing. Everything stayed on all night, through sweat, tears, etc. If you are willing to put forth the extra money for quality, I would absolutely recommend April. It's very obvious that makeup is her passion and she is truly an artist.

recommend doing the trial for the engagement shoot btw. Anyway, I booked her for the wedding too and I think she did an amazing job on my 4 bridesmaids and me.

to bring the professionalism and eye for style I needed. Morgan and April helped me to complete my look. Morgan managed to take my not-so-long hair and give me a french twist hair style that looked just lovely. Morgan and April also did hair and makeup for my mother who is 80 and this was one of her best looks ever!

t April attentively listened to my needs and my makeup looks perfect in all of my photos! I HIGHLY recommend her to any bride that wants flawless makeup on her wedding day!

arty my friends and I loved her makeup it was phenomenal..I highly recommend her for any event.

ific even with my freckles. My wedding was the end of July and had a torrential downpour at the end of the day and my make up never budged!!!!

tinct for what works with face shapes and features, but is also 100% interested in achieving the exact look you want. She will spend as much time as you desire on the trial. and she is SO patient! She also did a phenomenal job on my bridesmaids all with very different coloring and features--no trial needed! Everyone's face just looked gorgeous and everyone's make up stayed all day and night. I had my makeup airbrushed and she matched my skintone perfectly and the airbrush was WELL worth the extra charge--it lasted into the night and the next morning. I couldn't not have been happier with April's work and highly recommend her services. She does a fantastic job and is a pleasure to work with!

ake Rakella home so I can look fabulous everyday !!! Looking forward to my next wedding in December and to use her services once again !!! 5 stars aren't enough to rate this beautiful and talented girl !!

ere brilliant and I truly felt beautiful! The make up stayed on all night and looked fresh all evening as when it was first applied. They did a wonderful job and I would definitely use this company again!

ord time - but I never once felt rushed) & I felt stunning after seeing the results. So stunning that I will be hiring Rakella again "just because" I want to feel fabulous :) She will definitely be my go to for my special events or a night out. Trust me - you will not be sorry if you hire her! On a side note, she was always responsive to my text/calls and on day of appointment, she arrived early (99% of people get lost coming to our apartment) and came fully prepared. Very professional. HIGHLY recommend.

ing my best for the day. I would recommend them to any and everyone.

ional and knowledgable (you can tell these gals have done this before). Everything went smooth and my hair and makeup looked amazing I felt like a princess :))) I highly recommend!

did! I was blown away because she first worked with me because I didn't want a "heavy" makeup look. She explained what she would do to both my hair/makeup and it was exactly how she promised. I truly loved both my hair and makeup and received so many compliments throughout the night! I am definitely using her again and referring her as well!! She was so sweet and professional, great experience...all around!!

ime I received that many complements!! The pictures came out amazing too... I looked and felt beautiful. She was very detailed and made sure to give me everything I asked for... I wanted big glam waves/curls and you bet I got them! I brought a picture of the color/style of makeup I wanted and I came out looking like a doll :) She knew how to time everything properly to make sure I was 100% satisfied... Rachael is a perfectionist for sure! Extremely friendly person and very efficient with her work... definitely gets an A++!

own hair/makeup, but figured I needed some expert styling this time. Rachael did barrel curls which ended up in sexy shiny beach waves which lasted all night without frizz even with the humidity. The makeup was smokey eyes with nude lips and great contouring on cheeks etc. Let's just say I walked in the party single and ended up having too many men to choose from :p.

events after and she was able to get every look I wanted! I would easily recommend her to anyone for any event- wedding or just a night out on the town!

a pre-consultation over the phone, which included her asking me to collect pictures of make up looks and hairdos that I would like before we even started. So, on my appointment day, she had everything ready for all the looks I wanted to try. On appointment day, we narrowed it down to 2 looks. She was very helpful in helping me decide what would be the best and more comfortable look for me. She based this decision by asking lots of questions about my regular skin care and make up routine. Furthermore, she gave me tips on how to maintain the look throughout my evening and even how to replicate the look another day on my own. Although she was very thorough, the actual appointment didn't take all that long from start to finish . Which is fantastic because sometimes I fall asleep when I get my hair & make up done. Sinful, I know. I was beyond excited with the outcome. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her. I look forward to working with her Again & Again! Thank You!
