Claire Alyse Makeup LLC

Working with Claire was a dream and I cannot praise her enough for her work and just overall vibe. I planned my wedding from out of state and searched online for recommendations and reviews for hair and makeup artists. A lot of the people I reached out to just emailed me a pricing list, but I found it really important to have a phone conversation about what I wanted and also to get a sense of personality. After all, they’re basically an extension of your bridal party that day since you’re with them for several hours in the morning of your wedding! After my first chat with Claire I knew I wanted to work with her and her pricing was well within the same range of the other quotes I was getting. I wear makeup everyday, but I’m a very never-worn-fake-eyelashes-before kind of plain Jane. I didn’t want to look overdone on my wedding day to the point where my husband didn’t recognize me and she totally got that. I did a couple trials for hair and make up with Claire and KC and we made changes along the way. They were so easy to talk to and get along with it and everyone looked and felt beautiful on our wedding day. Even my mom, who was dead set against having her makeup done, was soooo excited how it turned out. Subtle yet elegant and enough to hold for the full day. She looked and felt absolutely beautiful, which made me feel amazing. My advice for brides that don’t wear a ton of makeup is to speak up. Claire totally listens to what you want and you can tell she really loves what she does. She’s the sweetest person and you’ll be so excited, lucky and overall thrilled to work with her!

I LOVE CLAIRE!!! She is the type of person who will make you feel like you have been friends forever. She is so fun, warm, kind, and most importantly, a bomb-ass makeup artist! Let me tell you, we had our wedding in September, in San Diego, a time and location where I thought the weather would be chill. IT. WAS. NOT. It d was so freaking hot. We took our wedding portraits before the wedding ceremony, in the blazing hot sun, and my makeup stayed in place until the end of the night (when I took it off!). All of my friends commented that my makeup artist did an amazing job, cause I was sweatin! Thank you so so much Claire. Not only was my makeup beautiful , but just having my makeup done by you was such a wonderful experience. THANK YOU!!!

I am so thankful that I found Claire to do the hair and makeup services. Claire was responsive, sweet, and accommodating. She was transparent with all of her pricing and services from the start. She is beyond talented with her makeup skills as my bridesmaids helped me find her just from the photos of her work. At the trial, she was super professional. She took photos and notes, and forwarded it to make sure we were on the same page. I also wanted to add that she did great with our Asian eye shapes!! Claire was so accommodating about all of the changes I threw at her up until less than a week before the wedding. She is so sweet and her and her team, KC and Megan, made all of the girls feel comfortable reassuring us that we were in good hands on the wedding day. I had a huge bridal party with 12 of us getting our hair and/or makeup done, including our mothers, which made me nervous about timing for the day. However, we were ahead of schedule at one point! We ended with plenty of time for photos with our photographer. I am so glad Claire and her team spent the morning with us and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants a worry free experience!

The day after my wedding I joked to my husband that on our wedding day that was the most beautiful he will ever see me.. and it’s true ha. Claire and her team made my skin look flawless. I honestly wanted to cry when I looked in the mirror but held it together for my mascara :) Her team also did my hair and it was beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. I can’t praise Claire and her team enough. My whole bridesmaid crew looks fabulous. Thank you Claire!!!
