City Lights Makeup & Hair

e had a single complaint, and no one changed anything about their look (no touch ups at all which is CRAZY). The best part was that even in the Florida heat our makeup stayed on all night!!!! I have a lot of important events coming up and I am DEFINITELY booking Paula’s services again.

how each artist interacts on their socials also. I booked a trial with one of her girls in Chicago, before I even went to the trial, I received an invoice for my trial (I already put down a deposit), on the invoice I was also being charged for travel even though I was travelling to the artist for my trial. 1) I’m not paying anything further until I receive my service 2) I shouldn’t have been charged for travel. When I inquired about it, it took TWO WEEKS to get a response, after I reached out for the 3rd time. I was never in contact with Paula- the owner. It was always her assistant who then gave the excuse that her phone was stolen. You’re running an entire business, you went without a phone for two weeks? Even then, you don’t have a tablet, laptop, desktop, ANY other source of communication via email?? While I liked my make up a lot, it WAS done in a fairly dark salon so when I stepped outside it wasn’t totally the right color for my skin. But it was a trial and that’s what trials are for so I don’t fault the artist AT ALL for any of this. She did a great job, very welcoming, friendly, and communicative. But because of what I dealt with leading up to the trial, I chose not to book my wedding day with them. In an already stressful time, I don’t need to worry about Paula and her assistant forgetting to communicate with me. Or charging me incorrectly.

pretty much read my mind and my hair and makeup looked amazing. I received compliments the whole night and I was just a guest! I felt as beautiful as I did on my own wedding day! I highly recommend her hair and makeup services to anyone wanting to look and feel their best for any occasion! To Paula- great work and thank you!!

ateful that she introduced me to Jerilyn! She will definitely be my main makeup artist from here on out!

ould decide what I wanted to do on my big day. When the big day arrived she was on time and did a great job not only on my sister, but also on my mom and my mother-in-law. Paula also gave me a list of the products she used on me. I would definetly recommend Paula for all of your make-up needs.

s, contract, and even handouts with how to ensure I would have the best possible experience. What a great first impression. Paula arrived to our location on-time and brought all professional items with her - including this light that would guarantee application was done correctly no matter the light source of the location. We talked a bit about what look I wanted for the maternity session and Paula’s style. (I highly recommend you take a look at her portfolio of work - it is amazing!) I loved my look - both makeup and hair. Honestly, I felt flawless and my picture proofs show this. I know people go back and forth between "just doing their own makeup" or paying for a professional to do it. I can’t stress enough that paying a professional is worth every cent. Not only do you look amazing, but you also get a unique opportunity to learn from a professional what looks best on you applied where. Without a doubt, I highly recommend City Lights Makeup Artistry for your next special occasion - you will look like your best you!

lasted all day, and so did my bridesmaids. It was the first time my mom had professional make up done, so she was really nervous. After it was done, she told me she had never felt prettier! I would highly recommend using Paula for any make up needs!

ing the bridal preview for free, because even that was pricey

-thanks!!
