Claudia did an amazing job for my wedding this fall. I LOVED my makeup and all my bridesmaids really loved theirs as well. She was also very friendly and easy to work with. I would...
definitely recommend her !
claudia made me WANT to have my picture taken. i felt beautiful, special, and amazing. just the way a bride wants to feel on her wedding day. i'm a classic make up artist's nightma...
re (never wear it), and she was wonderful. and, the products she used were amazing. it didn't feel like i was wearing make up and i looked like me, only better. brilliant work! my husband keeps asking me to do my lashes like claudia did (i'm going to have to learn to add to them, i see!)! thank you claudia! (also. some logistics - c did my best lady's, my MIL's and my mom's makeup. all with care and beauty, and well within the time line we'd mapped out. none of us felt rushed or late. we all looked as serene and happy as our makeup application session was).
Claudia came recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Claudia is very personable and I felt like we were old friends. She listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectation...

I would totally recommend Claudia. She is very professional, reliable and very nice too. I used her as a make up and hair artist for TV shoot (For the A&E) network and I looked gre...
at on camera. She really knows what she is doing and made it very personal so I got the look I wanted. I wanted to look polished and professional but not fake and she did a wonderful job. She knew how to do it so my make up and hair held up all day, under the the lights from the TV cameras. No sweat showed. ( I was sweating!) No shine at all. It was amazing and I really needed her in a clutch moment and she totally came through for me. I looked fab on TV! Plus she gave me some lessons and I learned a lot too. You won't be sorry, she is the best!
I had the pleasure to collaborate with Claudia on a beauty photoshoot recently and I can no be more pleased with the results. Claudia did an amazing make-up job on my model, and wa...
s such fun to work with. Her easy going personality and professionalism made it a great experience. I sent her examples of what I wanted and she did not disapoint!
Claudia was spectacular! She was on time, so calming and so professional. My trial prior to my wedding was great as she was receptive to exactly what I wanted and also lent her exp...
ertise as to what may look great. On my wedding day, the time was tight and she did 6 bridesmaids and myself with time to spare! The airbrush and eyelashes were incredible! We all looked amazing! Friends and family are still complimenting me on our make-up. I was so pleased with the way I looked! So natural, but so elegant. One of my friends has already used Claudia for her wedding, and she looked stunning! I can't wait to have another occasion to have Claudia do my make-up! Thank you Thank you Claudia!
As a wedding present to my husband, I decided to do a boudoir shoot and found a great special by Katherine Henry Boudoir (www.katherinehenryboudoir.com) which teamed with a make-up...
/hair person. In a serendipitous turn of events, her regular make-up person had a conflict the night of my shoot, so Claudia subbed in. Warm, friendly, and very professional, Claudia transformed me from a tired, slightly stressed out bride, to a sexy, smoky-eyed vixen with lusciously tousled hair - ready for a photo shoot guaranteed to knock my groom's socks off! The make-up was fantastic - LOVE airbrush foundation - and I ended up looking spectacular in the pictures. So much so, that I tried to book her for my wedding day despite having a make-up artist already booked. Unfortunately she was booked :( I HIGHLY recommend Claudia! She will not only make you look fabulous on your big day, but her wonderful personality and calming demeanor will also make you FEEL serene as well.
Claudia did an amazing job on my make-up for my wedding! She did my make-up, my bridal party of four, and my mother's. Everyone looked fabulous and flawless! I got airbrush and ev...
eryone else got regular make-up. Claudia was very professional, easy to work with (she is there to please you!), and friendly. I have no regrets, highly recommended!
I recently did a boudior shoot with Katherine Henry Boudior (http://katherinehenryboudoir.com/blog/) and Claudia did my makeup. I was nervous at first since I've never really had ...
airbrush makeup done. Claudia was amazing! I couldn't believe how unbelievable my makeup looked and how well it photographed. I wish I had known about her for my wedding! Now I'm trying to think of excuses to get my makeup airbrushed, just so I can have her do it again.
Claudia did the make up and hair for my boudior shoot.

m so glad she did! Claudia was so easy to work with and knew exactly what to do. She was able to key in on my style by asking only a few questions. I felt beautiful and sexy; and ready for my shoot! The same day, I attended a rehearsal dinner for my husband's friend and went straight there after my shoot; hair and make up still in tact. I received so many compliments on how I looked; it was so flattering! I'm so happy that I was able to connect with Claudia and would recommend her to anyone!
Claudia did an AMAZING job! I got in touch with her a few months before the wedding and arranged a trial, which she did at her home and for a very reasonable price. She did a great...
job listening to what I liked and didn't like, and then made really good recommendations for me based on her experience. The trial went wonderfully, as did the wedding day. She showed up right on time, was very calm and organized. She did makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and another friend, all of whom were very happy with her work. I highly recommend her!

out each person's best qualities. She made everyone look really beautiful. Plus she is very relaxed. It was great having a calm person during the hectic getting ready portion of the day. I would definitely recommend Claudia.
As a wedding photographer, I want my brides to have the best of the best for their wedding day and that's why Claudia is always on the top of my list when suggesting a glam squad!
...
Whether I'm working with Claudia on a boudoir shoot or on a wedding day, her brides come to me camera ready and looking and feeling their absolute best. Her makeup application is flawless, long lasting, radiant and natural looking too.
But beyond the incredible artistry, Claudia herself is an absolute gem of a person. She is one of the most kind, genuine and calming wedding professionals I've had the pleasure to work with time and time again. Claudia is absolutely the go-to makeup artist and will always be one of the first names I mention to my brides for a flawless face and fabulous experience.
Claudia is the perfect make-up artist for your wedding day. I booked her for my wedding the day after I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding, it was a no brainer. I didn't have to...
search any longer! She is so professional and incredible at what she does. You will not have a worry in the world.
My makeup was flawless all day! - even in the July heat on the Cape. I got the regular application (not spray) and it felt like I had nothing on my face! Make-up was very natural with a kick! LOVED the eyelashes!! definite MUST ;)!!
My mother, mother in law and all of my bridesmaids looked gorgeous!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CLAUDIA FOR YOUR MAKE UP ARTIST!!!!
I hired Claudia to do my makup as well as my bridal party for my wedding this past May. I searched on The Knot for a vendor who did air brush makeup and was so pleasantly surprise...
d by Claudia. Not only is she professional but she is down-to-earth and extremely friendly. I never thought my makeup could look better than what I was picturing. She knows how to work with each person's face and bring out their best qualities. I highly recommend Claudia and look forward to using her services again for my next event!
I have worked with Claudia for several years before using her for my own engagement shoot and wedding. I coached and danced on a dance team for Boston pro indoor lacrosse that pla...
yed in the Garden and also danced with the dance team for the pro outdoor lacrosse. Claudia and her team provided high quality make-up services for 18 girls in a time-sensitive environment for our annual photo-shoots. She did a great job, stuck to the tight timeline and the girls were really happy with their make-up. I am Asian and have worked with many make-up artists before and it can be hard to find someone that can do a good job with the eyes while keeping a natural but dressy look. I absolutely loved my make-up for the engagement shoot, I still love it when I look back at the photos. The day of the wedding was great and Claudia is always professional. There are never any worries with her, she is so relaxed, listens to what you want and her energy is positive and wonderful to have on your special day. I consider Claudia a great friend and want to go back for a make-up lesson, I can never make my make-up look as good as when she does it!
Claudia was a huge part of my big day last February. She showed up early and ready to go on a beautiful winter day. Claudia came overly prepared to complete 10 people's make up, w...
hich she completed in time for us to relax before my wedding. Claudia and Karla were able to do my make up, my 7 bridesmaids make up, my mother's make up as well as my mother in law's. Everyone of us were so happy with our results. After my own wedding, several of my friends chose to have her as their make up artist. I highly recommend Claudia as a make up artist. She is calm,reassuring and can look at anyone and know exactly what they need. Claudia is a true artist and she is extremely talented at what she does!
Claudia was such a wonderful addition to our wedding vendors. She is so down to earth and really spent the time to get to know me and my personality before even starting. She cam...
e to my house and spent a good 30 minutes going through my wedding ideas, photos, jewelry and vision. She is incredibly creative and I loved how collaborative she was with me. My bridesmaids all have very different styles and personalities which she competely showcased while maintaining a cohesive polished look. She was professional, on-time and a real joy to work with!
Claudia is awesome! I had a trial with her before my wedding, and myself and all my bridesmaids used her on my wedding day and everyone looked absolutely stunning!! It was importan...
t to me to have someone I trusted and who would be a calming presence for me on my wedding day since I get so nervous with the attention on me (and since I was the bride it was a problem haha) When meeting her and having my trial I knew there was no one else I wanted to do my make-up. Think of how much you pay for photos...and as the bride you're in most of them! I absolutely LOVED how my make-up came out, and my husband kept saying how much he loved how I had my make-up. 5 stars all the way!! I can't wait for more of my friends to get engaged so I can recommend Claudia to them!
Not only is Claudia a kind, warm-hearted person, but she is an INCREDIBLE make-up artist. We arranged for a trial prior to booking, where she helped me create a color palate and l...
ook that was perfect for my skin tone, the style of my dress, and really suited my own personal style. She was attentive to my needs and made sure that I left her studio 100% comfortable and confident with my make-up. I went to a party later that evening and my make-up lasted through the entire event WITHOUT needing any touch-ups!
She was timely and professional on the wedding day, and was a calming presence as I was jittery with nerves. Claudia brought lipstick, which I requested to touch up throughout the day-- but I did not need it! I had an outdoor wedding in August, and my make-up lasted through heat, tears, hugs, and dancing all night long. It was incredible.
I highly recommend Claudia for any bride-- she will do a spectacular job!
Claudia was absolutely amazing!! She made me, my bridesmaids, and my mother look our absolute best on my wedding day!! Claudia knows what she's doing and will go as bold or as natu...
ral as you want. She's a perfectionist and did not stop until she had every one of us looking perfect! She is also a pleasure to spend a day with!! She's so nice and funny and fun to talk to! She got engaged the night before my wedding and it was SO FUN to share that experience with her!!! Of course she didn't say a word about it until I noticed her ring (which wasn't on her finger at our last meeting!) She didn't want to tell us because she didn't want to "take away from my day!" How sweet of a thought, right?! Of course my girls and I wanted to hear the whole story and felt like we were all celebrating together! I couldn't have chosen a more skilled and sweet makeup artist! Love her!!
Claudia is an amazing makeup artist and to top it off, she is such a good person and so easy to talk to! I had two makeup trials with Claudia so that I could try out some differen...
t looks prior to my wedding, and both trials were absolutely stunning. On my wedding day, Claudia arrived early and got to work right away. My makeup lasted from 10:30 am straight through to my wedding after party at midnight! And the bet part is, I looked like me, just with a little enhancement. Claudia is a pro at taking your natural beauty and adding a little here and there to make you absolutely stunning. She never overdoes it. I even requested natural looking fake lashes and she gave me just that. I would hire Claudia for my makeup every single day if I could, she's that good!
I can not say enough good things about Claudia and her work. She was on time, professional, reasonably priced, accommodating, a calming presence, a good listener and, most importan...
tly, a fabulous makeup artist! I was initially skeptical of getting my makeup done, but when I saw her handiwork at a friend's wedding, I was sold. She does a great job of creating a look that works for you, which, in my case, meant making me look naturally enhanced. My husband was adamant that I not be too done up, but he had no idea that I was wearing foundation and fake eyelashes! Were I to do it all over again, I would hire Claudia again in an instant!
Pale skin + PMS acne the whole week before the wedding. It's a scary thought- I'm against tanning, but I wanted to be able to look back on my wedding pictures and look like myself....
I also tend to run a little on the vampy side for special occasions, so I was worried about toning down my look enough for my noon wedding in a catholic church.
Then came Claudia... She made me breathe a little easier. I knew she was perfect when she made me look like Gene Tierney during my trial (and who wouldn't want that?).
She was on time, super sweet, patient with my mother and her twitchy eyes (even put false eyelashes on her for the first time) and was just all in all an absolute pleasure to work with. If you want to feel comfortable in your own skin and be able to look back on your wedding photographs to recognize yourself (just with a little more bam pow & super foxy), hire Claudia. You'll be really happy that you did.
Claudia did the make-up for me, my Mom, my matron of honor and grandmother for my wedding in November 2011. I have always hated the way I look in pictures and was very nervous abo...
ut how I was going to look on my wedding day. Claudia did an amazing job on all of us - everyone loved her! She listened to me, she showed me what would look best on me, but also matched the spirit of my wedding and the fall colors of the season. Not only that, but Claudia is a very lovely person and a great calming influence on such a hectic day. I can't recommend her highly enough! I felt truly beautiful.
Claudia is truly an artist. She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. After my makeup trial, I had a hard time washing my face after -- not because it wouldn't come ...
off, but I really didn't want to take it off because she did such a beautiful job!
On my wedding day, she replicated the trial look and also did my mom's makeup. The makeup photographed so well and held up throughout the night. I looked like myself, but extra glamorous, with a bright red lip and dark black lashes.
I would recommend Claudia without hesitation and would hire her again should the occasion arise! In addition to doing beautiful work, she is a lovely person and was a pleasure to work with.
From the moment Claudia walked into the room on my wedding day, a sense of calm took over. She was so cool and collected throughout the day and made each of the girls in my bridal ...
party and myself feel totally at ease.
Claudia is great at varying the makeup style based on each person's preference. She doesn't just slap the same color and look on every person. She listened to each girl's typical makeup application and took it from there. Every single one of us was so happy with the results. Each girl received compliments on their makeup on my wedding day.
Make sure you have her do the falsh eyelashes - they don't look crazy, but just make your eyes pop - she does a fantastic job with these!
Claudia is a total professional, while also being personal and warm. It feels like your best friend is applying your makeup!
Claudia did my wedding makeup and for my 4 bridesmaids and mother. She did an amazing job. We did a trial beforehand, and she gave me some great suggestions - I love the way that...
she focuses on making you look like just a more gorgeous version of yourself. Very natural. The best part is that the makeup lasted all day long - even through crying! She is so incredibly professional, and just a pleasure all around to work with. Her prices are very reasonable and she has some really great experience. I couldn't recommend her higher!
Claudia Moriel is completely amazing. Not only is she a complete sweetheart, she is a fabulous makeup artist. Claudia traveled from Boston all the way up to Kingfield, Maine for ...
our 9.10.11 wedding. Claudia was there right on time to begin working her magic on me and my ladies. Claudia's touch is so soft and light, it helped calm me down on my wedding day! Claudia does not have her own agenda...she listens to what her clients want and she delivers. She made me and my girls look like the absolute best versions of ourselves. I truly could not recommend Claudia enough!!!
Claudia was amazing! I had heard so many wonderful things before the wedding day from the bride and I was so excited to have her do my makeup. Claudia was so intuitive and really h...
ad a great understanding of what look would suit each girl perfectly. I was so happy with the way my makeup came out. Usually, I dont wear a lot of makeup and she made sure to keep it light and natural and I couldn't have been happier with the way it came out
Claudia did my makeup for my wedding a few weeks ago. She also did my bridesmaids' and my mom's makeup. I read reviews about Claudia on www.weddingchannel.com and decided to book...
a trial with her. She instantly made me feel extremely comfortable and beautiful. The makeup she did for me on my big day was elegant and flawless. It wasn't only the way she did my makeup that I loved, but her presence made me feel relaxed and at ease (which was wonderful as I got ready for the biggest day of my life). I would absolutely recommend Claudia for any occassion where professional makeup is needed!
I met Claudia for my makeup trial in May 2011 and was absolutely thrilled with how wonderful she was! She was very easy to communicate with, she listened to everything I asked in r...
egard to my makeup, and she had such a great vibe, which made me positive I wanted her a part of my special day! My bridesmaids were so happy with how their makeup turned out and I was of course as well. Claudia is super talented with makeup, but also has a great presence which made me feel at ease during my wedding day jitters. She is an artist with the makeup brush, but just as importantly, she is a perfect addition to any bride's wedding day. I am going to be happy to refer any of my friends to Claudia for their wedding day!
Claudia is amazing! I was so excited to have my makeup done when I was the Matron of Honor at my friend's wedding. I didn't have any clear ideas in mind so I told Claudia to do wha...
t she thought would work. Well, she did an amazing job. I was so happy with how I looked and I felt great all day. The whole bridal party looked just as polished in the last photo of the night as the first one. Our makeup never altered from how Claudia applied it. I'm still getting compliments on it when friends look at the photos. Claudia has a great personality and is so calming in the craziness right before a wedding, I recommend her to everyone!
I first visited a local make up artist in CT to do a trial. I told her that I wanted a natural look and explained that I typically don't wear a lot of make up. She did my make up a...
nd when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked. The whole ride home, looking in the mirror, I was uncomfortable and my face itched. I didn't even look like myself. A friend told me about Claudia, and I was thrilled! She was not only one of the nicest people that I have ever met, she listened to me! After telling her that I like the natural look, she made my make up dreams come true!! I couldn't believe the flawless, yet natural look that I had and the pictures were stunning. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Claudia is a real gem and an asset to the make up industry! She really knows how to accentuate your true beauty.
This is a review for Claudia who did the makeup for my friend Jorlinis who got married.
It was refreshing to work with someone who knows all skin tones. My friend who got marri...
ed is from Columbia and I am African American.
There were many different types of skin tones in the wedding party and she had colors for everyone!
I'm always frustrated when I go get my makeup done for events and the 'makeup artists' don't know how to makeup different complexions so when Claudia said the following I laughed. "Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get so I always bring colors for ALL people."
On top of all that my skin is very oily and makeup doesn't last on me very long. She had this great mattifying gel that helped my makeup last for hrs and hrs. That's a big deal during the summer humid months.
I would highly recommend her for anyone's wedding in the future!!!
I wanted to leave a review because Claudia did such a good job at doing my now wife's makeup. My wife doesn't wear a lot of makeup and I'm not used to seeing with a lot on. I was...
worried about her looking over done with hair and makeup. But Claudia found a way to strike a complete balance between having her look like herself and still looking elegant enough for the day.
Claudia is a true artist. I was very nervous about having my make-up done for my wedding, as I typically don't wear much and really wanted to appear natural. Claudia was extremel...
y understanding, and during our trial, she spent a lot of time designing an overall look and experimenting with a variety of products until I was comfortable. Over the next few months, I communicated with her regarding some questions, and she was incredibly responsive, patient, and professional. On the wedding day, Claudia brought a wonderfully calming energy and made the entire wedding party look absolutely stunning. She used minimal make-up to enhance my gorgeous bridesmaids' natural beauty, and everyone looked absolutely ravishing. I felt like I was barely wearing anything (which is what I wanted!!), but looked exactly how I had imagined I wanted to on my Big Day. Claudia is so talented and I was honored that she was willing to create my look for my wedding. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone. She's the BEST!!
Claudia was quite a find. Just like all the reviews here, I was very happy with her services. I told her what I was looking for - a natural look, since I don't wear any makeup on ...
a daily basis. But I also wanted to look like a bride. She made me look amazing, but not overly done. I had so many compliments on my looks, and best of all, she promised me that my makeup would hold up in the humidity, and it did. I cannot say enough great things about her. On top of it, she has a warm personality, and it's so easy to take to her. It was a no-brainer for me as soon as she did my trial. I knew she was the one. I highly recommend Claudia.
Claudia is absolutely amazing! My makeup came out exactly how I wanted! Highly recommended!
Claudia is excellent. She made me look and fel like a princess!!! She is so super talented. She did my makeup for 2 events for my wedding and the second day, which was the wedding ...
day, i looked so tired in the morning and wondered how anyone could me look good. But she did! She is so professional, punctual, and passionate about her work. Can't say enough about how good she is.
I loved working with Maricruz for my wedding. She is very talented, professional and hardworking and also has an easy going personality and is very calm.. the best combination to ...
make a bride feel beautiful and ready for the big day!
I wanted my makeup to look both elegant and natural and Maricruz absolutely accomplished this goal. I felt great and the wedding pictures look amazing!
She also did makeup for my bridesmaids and mother and did an amazing job on hairstyling for several of them too!
Thank you! Deborah

Claudia did a spectacular job with makeup for everyone in my bridal party (4 bridesmaids, my aunt, mother, and myself). Everyone looked very natural and beautiful. She was really a...
ccomodating, coming to our hotel to apply makeup, and then accompanying us to the wedding venue for a final touchup. She even helped coordinate our arrival with the groom so that we would not see each other before the ceremony. Most importantly, she was a very calming presence during the pre-ceremony chaos. I would highly recommend her to anyone for their special day.
Claudia was amazing to work with. She was recommended by my trusted photographer who had worked with her on previous wedding and she was a great fit.
She is clearly a skilled ar...
tist, doing the makeup for both of my bridesmaids as well as the mothers of the bride and groom, and my own makeup as the bride. She was able to give us all natural looks, that focused on enhancing everyone's features.
She was also great to have around on the day of the wedding. She answered all of our questions, and gave us helpful tips for the future as well! Not only did she have a calming personality, but she even stayed to help me get into my wedding dress!
I would highly recommend Claudia to any bride.
I know Maricruz for more than five years and Claudia for more than two, and every time i need somebody to deliver for weddings I call them, I am a hairdresser in Beverly Farms, and...
Claudia with her beautiful work as a makeup artist and Maricruz with her amazing hair styles always leave clients more than satisfied.
There aren't enough words to say what an Amazing experience it was to work with Claudia! Talented. Articulate. Therapeutic. Patient.
Claudia made my wedding day! My mother and ...
the mother in law really were pleased as well. We had high expectations and even they were exceeded!
Thank you Claudia!
Claudia Moriel took impeccable care of my bride and her bridal party on our wedding day! Her work was fantastic and truly top notch and I have the pictures to prove it! More than ...
this though, Claudia has a very calming and nurturing presence that we really welcomed on our special day. She went far beyond our expectations, often solving problems on the fly and resolving our concerns so we could relax and enjoy the day. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her team. Looking back, I know that she played an instrumental role in making the day a lot less stressful than it could have been!
Claudia has artists eyes and hands, but more importantly has an intuitive heart. She saw how I did my own makeup and designed a look for me that was true to my understated persona...
l style while at the same time making me look the part: pretty, happy bride. I have also seen Claudia pull out all the stops for a friend of mine who was going for the classic Hollywood-movie-star-for-a-day look. She was gorgeous in the style of Grace Kelly. Claudia made red lipstick look classy and festive--not overdone. And my favorite part about Claudia lipstick in particular is it lasts! I don't know what she uses, but I didn't need to reapply lipstick at all during the reception. Amazing. I reccomend her 1000%!!!
Claudia has been working with my clients for years. Her gentle approach, professional attitude and pure talent for make up design is why I Love her. Thank you Claudia for keeping t...

I felt very lucky to have Claudia Moriel design the makeup for me on my wedding. I'm not someone who usually wears a lot of makeup, so it was important for me to strike a balance b...
etween a kind of stunning "movie-star" visage and the natural look I usually sport.
Claudia listened to all of my ideas and thoughts, and then struck that balance perfectly on the day of my wedding. More than that, Claudia takes a whole-body approach to the beauty that she creates for brides. She wanted me to be calm and comfortable, and her wonderful demeanor helped make that possible. My Matron of Honor and my mom also worked with Claudia, and all had the same positive experience.
We we would recommend Claudia without hesitation!
