Cynthia is amazing! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! Her style is more towards a natural look, which was ideal for me, but made me feel so glamorous as well. She provides las...
hes free of charge. Overall, she's incredibly talented, and just a really fun person to work with.
Cynthia is AMAZING! I don't wear makeup on a normal basis and she made me look like a beautiful bride version of myself without making me look too made up. She also did makeup fo...
r my 74 year old mother - who she had never met - and my Mom looked stunning. My practice appt made me so comfortable with the process and no changes were needed to her initial look. She was on time, funny, and finished all three of us in under 2 hours. I was provided with an emergency kit to take with me (that I didn't need because her makeup is so perfect) but had eyelash glue, lipstick, foundation, etc. Affordable, super friendly, professional, just amazing. I can't recommend her enough. LOVED HER!
Amazing! Cynthia is so much fun and so professional. She is very personable and just all around nice. She did my makeup, my MOH and MOB's makeup. She applied mine around 9:30 A.M.a...
nd it lasted until 2 A.M.! We were very satisfied with her services. She chose the appropriate colors for us and listened to any concerns or ideas we had. The makeup did not feel caked on or heavy. I will definitely use her in the future for special occasions. Thank you so much, Cynthia, for sharing in my special day. You are wonderful!
Cynthia not only made me look stunning on my wedding day but is so fun to chat with while she works. She made me feel comfortable even though I don't wear makeup regularly. She a...
lso did make-up for my mother and my mother-in-law. They both thought she was great and loved how gorgeous they were!
I don't wear much makeup and so I'm normally very weary of someone else doing my makeup. However, I have to say I wish she could do my makeup everyday. She takes the less is more...
approach (which I personally love) and really understands how to enhance your features. I would HIGHLY recommend her. She did an entire wedding party, two mothers, and the bride in a very timely manner. Everyone looked so amazing and natural!
Cynthia is professional, fun, and awesome at what she does. I am so glad she was a part of the big day. The whole bridal party had a great time getting ready thanks largely in pa...
rt to Cynthia's outgoing and fun personality. The makeup was stunning and lasted all day!
Cynthia did my makeup for my engagement photos as a trial run and I got so many compliments! Even my husband (who is oblivious most days) said, "You're eyelashes look really nice t...
oday." She also did my wedding makeup and I loved the natural enhancements she gave me for my outdoor June wedding. Nothing too major or dramatic, totally my style - she talked with me about the look I was going for and gave me just that: soft, natural, romantic. AND to top it off she's a total sweetheart. Like playing dressup with your girlfriend. Love her!!
Cynthia was referred to me by my wedding planner (Chelle of Revel & Bloom) and I could not be more happy she put us in touch! I honestly didn't know what to expect when I went in f...
or my trial but from the second we met I knew she was a good fit. When it comes to makeup I am a little bit clueless and I don't wear heavy makeup on a daily basis so I wasn't sure how to communicate what I wanted for my big day. Cynthia asked me questions regarding my wedding and my style in order to gather what kind of makeup to put on me and then just did what she does best. It was perfect! I felt glamorous without feeling unnatural. The products she used were of the highest quality and I think that makes a huge difference. Cynthia did my mother and sisters makeup as well and she was able to make all of us look fabulous despite being completely different ages, skin types, ect. I think the other thing that I truly loved was that she was so funny and personable as well. She felt more like a close friend in the room that day but she still remained professional at all times. I would recommend her to any bride, she truly is the best Denver has to offer!
Cynthia did an amazing job with my makeup as well as with my bridesmaids and mothers. I was referred to her by a friend who I thought had amazing makeup and I was not disappointed....
Cynthia is so nice and makes you feel so comfortable while she's putting on the makeup and the results were stunning. I literally felt like a princess from a fairy tale. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needed makeup done for any reason. I know she could do it and make anyone look more beautiful. Her price was extremely reasonable and she was able to come to my house to do it, which was very convenient. She also gave me a touch-up kit, but I didn't need it! It lasted through the night without any flaws.
Cynthia did my makeup as well as all 7 of my bridesmaids and both mothers. Everyone loved her! She is so fun to be around, always making everyone laugh and feel totally comfortable...
along the way. The makeup was flawless and everyone looked stunning throughout the entire night. What I loved most is she did everyone's makeup according to their personal style while still highlighting their individual features and also staying in the concept I had imagined. Hard to do! My mother-in-law even got lashes put on and they looked completely natural and lovely. My incredible planner turned me on to Cynthia, really urging me to use her and I'm grateful. I will come back to her for all formal events.
Cynthia is so incredibly talented! She was recommended to me by my wedding planner and I am so glad that she knew someone. I knew that I would not be able to do my makeup myself,...
but I wasn't really interested in going to a department store in hopes I'd find someone good. Before the wedding, Cynthia set up a make up trial so she could see which products would be best. I left the trial day feeling like a million bucks, but it was nothing to how great I looked day-of. Cynthia came to my mother's house and did the whole bridal party's make up and everyone looked great...including my mom who swore she could never wear eye shadow. My makeup lasted the whole day. In fact, the mother of the groom loved the make up so much that she slept in it so she'd look good for brunch the next day! I can't describe how great Cynthia is and how awesome of a person she is. She is extremely friendly, listens to what you want, and really knows her stuff!
I took a makeup lesson from Cynthia after getting a new job - and wanting to look more professional. After that great experience, she has been my go-to person for everything makeup...
. She's really fun to be around, so it's always comfortable sitting in her chair while she's working on you. I don't wear a lot of makeup, and for my wedding, I didn't have any preferences, other than not wanting to look over done. She always takes one look at me, and then does exactly the right thing, even when i wasn't sure what that was before she started. On my wedding day, she also did makeup for my mom (who hates having people touch her face) and my 14 year old niece (who was nervous because she'd never had her makeup done before). Both loved the experience and looked beautiful and age appropriate. Cynthia had my mom relaxed and feeling great, and my niece laughing and joking in just a few minutes...Exactly what this bride needed on her wedding day. :) Thanks Cynthia!
Cynthia did my makeup for my wedding on September 1, 2013. It was so flawless! I had her do full foundation, some contouring, a smokey eye, and a natural lip. She uses really nice ...
products and uses a variety of brands. My makeup stayed on all day (even with the excess of happy crying!). When she finished, all my bridesmaids looked at me and started calling me Ashley Greene! I certainly felt like a movie star and with my make up I looked the part too! I am glad that I hired Cynthia to do my make up. She made it a worry and stress free part of getting ready! I definitely felt pampered.
I was super lucky that Cynthia was recommended to me - she was the first makeup artist I did a trial with and then the only because I thought she was so great! She was super fun to...
be around, very laid back and easy going. She listened to what I wanted and did exactly that - I didn't give her too many guidelines because I figured she knew more about makeup than I did, and I loved the way I looked on my wedding day. I looked completely like myself, with not too much or not too little makeup, and it looked fantastic in the pictures. My bridesmaids looked beautiful and loved her too! I would recommend Cynthia to anyone!!
I absolutely loved working with Cynthia! She made me feel absolutely beautiful, and didn't have me in too much makeup. It was amazing to see the "finished product" on my special d...
ay, and to realize how much natural beauty I have! I have and will continue to recommend Cynthia to every bride I meet, as well as to any woman who wants to learn about the fine art of applying makeup. Cynthia worked so well with all of my bridal party and everyone just loved her! One thing my groom was worried about was me not looking like the woman he fell in love with, and that definitely did NOT happen. Cynthia is absolutely amazing and is so passionate about her job. Again, I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for either make-up application advice or for any special occasion.
Cynthia was an AWESOME choice for my wedding day makeup. I wanted something natural, but still look glamorous for our big day. She not only was very professional, but her personali...
ty is amazing - fun, funny and reassuring on such a crazy day. She's also able to travel in and around the Denver metro/Boulder area, so came right to us at the hotel. Cynthia also made up all my bridesmaids and each one of them was thrilled with the results.
Cynthia is simply the best! She did my wedding makeup (along with every event up to it)and it was perfection! She has a crafty way of making you look beautiful and natural, even ...
from the bad camera angle. I would highly recommend Cynthia to anyone and everyone! Although there are no more weddings in my family, I will still find excuses to go see her!!!!
Cynthia was great. She does more of a natural look, which is my style, and all the girls looked beautiful. She really brought out the natural beauty of all of us in the wedding p...
arty. Cynthia was very reasonably priced and a great, super friendly person to work with.
We recently used Cynthia for my wedding. She came over to my parents house and did makeup for 4 bridesmaids, 2 moms and myself in one afternoon! She is so fun to be around, it's ju...
st like having another girlfriend with you while you get ready for your big day. The best thing about her style is that you really look and feel like yourself, just pretty-fied a bit! I didn't want to feel the makeup on my face or have my groom be creeped about my the amount of goop on me and it wasn't like that a lot. If you like a natural look, Cynthia is your gal! I'm sure she can do other looks equally as well but I think her go to approach to wedding makeup is perfect. Her price also includes false lashes and a touch up kit! All the girls loved her, loved the lashes and they look fantastic in photos. You also get to have a trial with her before your big day so you can make sure you like the look! I would highly recommend Cynthia to make you feel relaxed, pampered and gorgeous!
Cynthia is amazing! Not only did my make-up look great, she was very responsive throughout the whole process, setting up a trial, finalizing the day of schedule etc. She did my ma...
keup as well as all my bridesmaids, and they all loved her. She is really good at listening to what you want, for example I was scared of the fake eyelashes, so she worked with me to make sure I was comfortable. We all looked great, but not overdone. She is also really easy talk to, and made the "getting ready" even more fun!
Cynthia is amazing! She did the make-up for my sister's wedding a few years ago and she was my only choice for my wedding this past summer. Her prices are reasonable and her work...
is extraordinary. She spends time with you during the trial to make sure that you get exactly the look you want. She was willing to come to me on my wedding day which made me feel very comfortable and stress-free!
She is awesome!
I first had my makeup done by Cynthia for my friend's wedding, and was deeply impressed by her enthusiasm, kindness, and talent. I booked her for my summer wedding, and her attenti...
on to detail, and unfailing concentration made me look my best for my wedding. She was fun, and made me feel at ease during a very stressful time. I would recommend her to anyone for any occasion, she was truly a pleasure to work with.
There are four people that I couldn't have had my dream wedding without: my groom, my photographer, my officiant and my make-up gal, Cynthia!
She is amazingly talented, put me ri...
ght at ease from the first time we talked, has great vision and is just so much fun! I mean she really knows her stuff, but never makes you feel intimidated. She has done my make-up on a few occasionas now, and I have looked beautiful everytime. I was so glad to have her with me on my wedding day (some of my favorite pics were the "getting ready" ones with Cynthia) and love that she was able to come up to the ceremony site. I really can't say enough good things about her!
I used Cynthia for my recent wedding and I couldn't have asked for anything better! She did quite a few bridesmaids and both Moms, some who waited until the day of to ask Cynthia i...
s she could squeeze them in and she was super flexible. She is very personable, someone you wouldn't mind hanging out with on your wedding day. She kept everyone relaxed and I got a lot of compliments on our make-up. You have to hire Cynthia if you are getting married!
Cynthia is amazing! She did makeup for me, my 5 bridesmaids, and our moms, at a much more reasonable price than other makeup artist I had contacted! She was on time and we didn't f...
eel rushed. She has a great sense of humor and is super fun to work with. Everyone looked and felt amazing! Cynthia has a way of making you camera ready without being overdone. Cynthia rocks!!
In preparing for my wedding this summer, I had apprehension about having my makeup done. I contacted Cynthia to schedule my wedding makeup and have a consultation. She was so detai...
led and organized that she sent me a survey to complete prior to my consultation to ensure she was knowledgeable of prefered look; this immediately made me feel comfortable! Cynthia was extremely knowledgeable and made me look incrediable for the big day. Her attention to detail is unprecedented, is patient in meeting your vision, and she truly cares about making your day a memorable experience for you and your bridal party. Cynthia is on the top of my recommendation list and there is simply no one in Denver that can compare!
Cynthia is absolutly fantastic!!! Not only was she a delight to work with, she is also a very talanted make up artist. She did my make up for my wedding along with my bridesmaids...
and my mother. Everyone LOVED what she did and felt beautiful. I loved loved working with Cynthia and would absolutly recommend her over anyone else!
Right when I got engaged a few of my friends told me to hurry up and contact the Cynthia (the Makeup Guru) because she is in high demand and her schedule fills up fast! Well they w...
ere right, Cynthia was already booked for my wedding day and reception day (two different days). However she offered to do a lesson session where she did my make up and I LOVED it. After the lesson she sent me an email with ALL the details of what I need to do my own makeup. I was worried I have never had someone do my makeup that I liked and I am pretty picky. I was pleasantly surprised!
Cynthia is absolutely amazing at her job. I was recommended to her by my now sister-in-law who hired Cynthia for her wedding 2 years ago. We both decided on Cynthia based on the ...
information we gathered on a handful of other make-up artists who are known for bridal work. Not only are her prices extremely competitive but her look book is second to none. I recommend getting your trial done early in the day when you have something planned for later because I cannot tell you how many compliments I got that evening. As for the day of my wedding Cynthia again impressed me with her punctuality and of course her personality. She helped to calm my nerves with her awesome sense of humor and worked perfectly with my hair stylist. She also made my mother look and feel beautiful after losing her hair to chemo treatments earlier that week. my entire bridal party was floored with how good they looked, and I was more than impressed with what I looked like as well. Cynthia really just makes your natural beauty shine through. I will recommend Cynthia to anyone who mentions their upcoming wedding and hope that I have another event soon that can warrant professional makeup so I can see her again!
My wedding day was perfect and Cynthia was a big part of that! I was very worried about my male up because there was no way I was going to do it myself but I had heard horror stori...
es. I contacted Cynthia and I was immediately at ease. She's professional, prompt and very honest. When we met for my make up trial, I was blown away. I wanted to look like a better version of myself and that's exactly what she did!! I had absolutely no stress the day of the wedding as I knew she was so reliable and easy to work with. She arrived on time and stuck to the tight schedule perfectly. I had countless compliments on my make up and I can't thank her enough!!! She's the absolute best and I would recommend her to everyone!
I got Cynthia's information as a referral from my hairdresser and from the first email I knew this was a no brainer. She made the entire process very easy which is wonderful when ...
trying to keep all of the moving parts of a wedding organized. I don't wear a lot of make-up and she designed my look accordingly, I looked like a better version of myself - ha! But seriously, she kept it very natural but if I would have wanted a deeper look she would have done. Not only that but she was a pure pleasure to work with, I enjoyed my practice as well as the day of, she was quick but didn't make me feel like I didn't get my time. She also did my mother's make-up and she looked great. Post the wedding I got in touch for a personal situation and she was so responsive and helpful! I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! Thanks Cynthia!!!
Cynthia, the Denver Makeup Guru, is the best! She's super knowledgeable and very talented. I had a makeup artist lined up as well as a backup person and they both fell through; th...
is ended up being a God-send because then my wedding planner recommended Denver Makeup Guru and I am BEYOND pleased with her services. Not only does she provide beautiful makeup at a reasonable price, but she tailors the makeup to whatever you want (the no makeup look, super glamorous, etc.). My bridesmaids, mother, and I all had our makeup done by Cynthia and I'm so glad we did. We looked beautiful and we felt it too and I think that really shows through in the wedding photos. I like makeup and am pretty good at doing my own but doing makeup for photography is so different and Cynthia really knows her stuff.
I had Cynthia (the Denver Makeup Guru) do my and my bridesmaid's makeup for my wedding. Everyone looked fantastic, and it was super easy! She kept the makeup looking classy and fre...
sh. I would absolutely use her for other occasions!

She made me, and my bridesmaids, look awesome by accentuating our natural features. I did not feel like a cakey mess, but rather I felt like her services made me feel gorgeous by b...
ringing out natural beauty. Her prices were incredibly reasonable, and she was SO fun! We had a blast with her and our hair stylist. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Cynthia is absolutely amazing! She is extremely friendly and professional and her work is fabulous! Everyone was thrilled with her work.
I HIGHTLY recommed Cynthia!
My girlfriend discovered the gem that is Cynthia a few years ago. Since then, three friends have gotten married and all of us have been lucky enough to have her do the makeup for t...
he bride, bridesmaids, mother-of-the bride, friends of the bride.... you get the picture! She has done an amazing job every time. In our group, we have some girls who go for the dramatic, very made-up look and others who are just looking for a more polished 'natural'. Cynthia can do it all, gives great personalized tips on products to get and to avoid, and is just a fun awesome lady to include in pre-party preparation! We have had a fabulous time with her every time, and I have made some great new addittions to my daily makeup bag based on her recommendations.
I couldn't have asked for a better person to do my make-up for my wedding! Cynthia knew exactly what I wanted. She's also so easy to talk to and easy going. Honestly, I couldn't...
have asked for anything more and was thrilled with the results I received!
And Cynthia was not only excellent at doing mine and my maid of honor's makeup, but she was also fun! She was great about making sure she didn't spill the beans. She is very person...
able and I don't wear a ton of makeup and I loved her because she just made me look natural with the colors she used. My pictures turned out amazing and when my maid of honor got married 5 months later, she used Cynthia too. I would recommend Denver Makeup Guru to any bride - Cynthia's quality and pricing can't be beat!
I was so sick of seeing $300 + for bridal make-up and trials I wanted to vomit, not to mention the dollar signs I saw after I added in my bridesmaids and moms so they could get the...
ir makeup done. I had nearly accepted defeat, BUT then in walked in Cynthia, fun, witty, and damn good at what she does. She is beyond genuine and such a good spirit to have around on your wedding day! I can’t say enough good things about this woman.
She’s relaxed, rolled with changes during the day, she waited for my photographer to arrive to finish my make-up, so I could have some of those coveted “getting ready” photos, she is an absolute doll…listen to her and trust what she says, she knows what she’s doing.
Her prices and services are out of this world…you know how they say “you get what you pay for?” With Cynthia, you get way more than what you pay for, plus she is just a cool person :-)
Cynthia was great! Not only did we look fabulous (she did makeup for my bridesmaids too), she fit right in with the crew while we were getting ready and helped us have a lot of la...
ughs. I had never had my makeup done so did not know what to expect, and I couldn't be more pleased!
Cynthia did my makeup for my wedding, as well as my mom and two bridesmaids. We all were so happy. I was amazed at how I looked like myself, just amped up by 1000. She squashed my ...
fears of lip color and foundation. I wish she could do my makeup every day :) I happily refer her to brides.
Cynthia is AMAZING! She not only has epic talent, but she is so fun to work with. I have used several different make-up artists in the Denver area and she is by far the best. She's...
professional, punctual and she made me look flawless! Her incredible talent and amazing sense of humor make her the complete package! I will definitely be using her again!
Cynthia is wonderful- her prices are reasonable, she's totally flexible, and she makes everyone look and feel beautiful. I made appointments for two bridesmaids and me. After eve...
ryone saw her work, two additional bridemaids and my mother wanted their make-up done. Cynthia fit everyone in and kept everyone calm. She knows how to make you look great, while maintaining a natural look so you feel like yourself on your wedding day. Highly recommended!
I can't say enough great things about Cynthia! She made everyone in my bridal party, including the mothers, feel incredibly taken care of. The ladies looked flawless the whole day....
I have never felt so beautiful. We all loved the addition of the eyelashes! Oo la la! I would recommend her for any special occasion. Thanks a million, Cynthia!
The Denver Makeup Guru, Cynthia, is hands-down the best makeup artist in Denver. Not only does she do stunningly beautiful work for a reasonable price, but she is also kind, funny,...
accessible and honest. I enlisted Cynthia's brilliance for my best friend's wedding as well as my own wedding earlier this year, and have subsequently recommended her to many brides-to-be. Those that have used her for makeup on their special days report the same praise and satisfaction. Now I find every excuse I can to have my makeup done with her! Cynthia is amazing, you wont' be disappointed!
Denver Makeup Guru is the best option for wedding and event make up. She was such a delight to work with- so professional, so refined, and so very talented! She uses the best pro...
ducts and really understands what YOU need to look fabulous! I would recommend her for any event! I will use her again and again.
Cynthia was so wonderful, I couldn't be happier I hired her to do my makeup. She is sweet, fun, and put everyone at ease. But most importantly she is an amazing makeup artist. I...
loved how she did my makeup on the day! She also did some of my bridesmaids and they looked wonderful. On top of that, she did my mom's makeup, who can sometimes be a little bit of a handful. Not only did my mom's makeup look great, but Cynthia was wonderful in working with my mom's anxiety and making her feel better. I would recommend Cynthia to anyone!
I had tried one other make-up artist before Cynthia, and the result was painted-lady-meets-old-age-home-circus, so I was a bit wary of make-up artists. Cynthia was amazing! She ...
was delightful to work with, so responsive and really listened to what I wanted. She cares so much about making her brides and bridal parties feel beautiful, and it shows in her results. My make-up was subtle but glamorous, fresh, glowing, and romantic. And even better, it stayed put the ENTIRE night, through rain and dancing. She made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law look and feel just beautiful. Plus the pictures look flawless! I can't recommend enough! You'd be crazy not to hire her!
