Crystal-Eyez Makeup & Hair

ons where all of the reviews are positive and then when you go your experience is not great...yeah, well this is not that type of review because my experience was amazing!!! I had Lena C. as my makeup artist. I did a trial with her, the day before my wedding. Yes, you read that correctly, the trial was the day before my wedding but I had already booked her for the wedding and either way, this was a go. I went to trial and crossed my fingers that it would go well. Let me tell you, Lena did a fantastic job. She blended and highlighted and made me look like a model. I felt beautiful just walking out of the studio and on the next, day (my wedding day) she did an even better job. I felt and looked beautiful and that is what all women want on their wedding day. I wanted to be a diva and Lena helped me get there. She is just also an amazing person to talk to and that is a huge plus!! I have had my makeup done professionally several time before but never has been done so flawlessly. Lena is a rock star!! If you are reading this review, then I just made your life easier because Crystal-Eyez is definitely for you!!!! I mean, come on, their reviews speak for themselves, how can you not use them?! I am so so happy that Lena did my makeup and the makeup of my bridesmaids and my mother who also looked fabulous but not as fabulous as me:) Now that you are done reading my review, go to their website now and book them, you will be glad that you did!!!!!!!

and they should be able to personally take your payment if they are a good business. They refused to take a check or money order for my payments. I still don't know why they cannot receive a mailed payment to a business address listed on their website. I paid 3% fees on $350. I wanted airbrushed makeup for my wedding but I was discouraged from getting this service and it was suggested that I get traditional makeup. Airbrush is a service offered by this business. A woman named Bisi emailed to tell me I should get traditional makeup, as this is what was on my contract and I told her that I mentioned to her that I always wanted airbrush, regardless of what she thought and the bottom line is that Bisi should have put this on my contract instead of telling me that 80% of the photos on her site had been done with traditional makeup. Didn't I have a choice in the transaction, as I was a paying customer??? The truth finally came out, that the woman assigned to do my makeup did not know how to do airbrush. Bisi refuses to own up to the fact that her business botched my contract, which I did not receive from them until the week of my wedding because I was unable to find it online and when I reached out to the makeup artist (MUA) when she contacted me a month before my wedding, she took a while to get back to me and I ended up dealing with Bisi about this. The MUA used simple MAC makeup that I already have in my collection and her color selections were EXTREMELY limited. Her case was also FILTHY, making me think she was not very sanitary. She kept having to go wash her sponges, but we thought she would have had enough for our job, since the job was booked months prior to my wedding day. The false eyelashes that came with the service were in a filthy container and I had to remove them because one kept hanging and did not have enough adhesive. The only time I touched them was to try to put them back in place and then later to take them off because I was tired of trying to reapply what should have already been applied firmly enough to last at least for 8 hours. It was very uncomfortable and made my photos look varied because there are some with me in lashes and then others with me without lashes because I had to remove them. I didn't like this service at all. I really did want to like the business, due to the WOW factor photos listed on their website, but after corresponding with the principal of the business and actually having the service, I am not sold on this service and cannot use them again or recommend them. I used them this time solely based on older reviews from 2011 and 2012, but I guess this business is dealing with new issues in 2013, which are not making this service as good as it once was.

s provided. She did exactly what I requested and I loved my look. If I could change anything about that day it will be nothing. Crystal-Eyez is the best makeup company that Chicago has to offer and I highly reccommend them with no reservations. ( A must on that special day!!!)

I wanted and she did it flawlessly.
