ENRIQUE | Premium Makeup + Hair Artistry

hair and makeup done ahead of time, but Enrique put me at ease immediately. A few months before our wedding, we chatted about what type of wedding we envisioned, what type of hair and skin I have, and the style I was looking to create for our day. He was very attentive with all of my crazy questions and made me feel really comfortable before I even met him. When it came to our wedding, we met the day before for my bridal consultation. I showed him photos of what I was thinking, he took a lot of time to consider what options we had, and took care in my feedback. After doing the consultation (and I LOVED the result!) he readjusted my hair and makeup so that I had a new look for the rehearsal and evening reception. It was wonderful! I had great hair and makeup for two days straight :) On my wedding morning, he made me feel completely at ease and we had a great time chatting as he got me ready to go. It was really important to me that I looked as natural as possible and he nailed it. In the end, I could not have been happier with the result. He is so professional and has a great personality. I HIGHLY recommend Enrique!

e hair for the other girls in the party was so bubbly and fun; everyone raved about their hair even my notoriously picky mother. Enrique suggested that we do the hair and makeup trial the day before so that not only were our ideas fresh in our minds, but so that way my hair and makeup was done for the rehearsal dinner. Great idea and I got to test drive the style and make tweaks the next day as needed. He was an amazing calming presence to have day of and I'm so pleased with how well my hair and makeup lasted. My hair doesn't always hold curl that well and my skin runs on the oily side - even after hours of photos & dancing I looked just as fresh as I did that morning. Cannot recommend him enough, he was great!

ch ups. which by the way no one needed. I would recommend him for any occasion you may be planning.

services at the last minute because they saw Enrique's top-notch work and just couldn't pass it up! Enrique's attention to detail ended up carrying me all the way to the isle- when he heroically delivered the veil that I forgot to put on. My hair and makeup did not budge all night long, and I felt like a gazillion bucks! Anyone would be lucky to have Enrique on their team for the big day.

ur special day then Enrique’s your guy!

I finally got in touch with him and he came home for a make up and hair trial which was so convenient for me, as I didn't have to do any running around before the wedding. He did such a great job on the wedding day. All my friends and family complimented on my hair and make up. The make up stayed all day long and didn't need any touch up during the day. He was extremely professional and I will always recommended the bride's to go with Enrique. Thank you for making my day so special.

er reviews here can tell you that Enrique is prompt, skilled, professional, and kind, but they might not tell you how patient and calming he is on what is otherwise a very stressful day. I spent about 2.5 hours in his chair and the whole time, he answered my questions, told me stories, and kept me in relaxed and good spirits leading up to the big event. The sweetest part of the day, I think, was when he was pinning flowers in my hair and asked my sister to borrow one of her hairpins to use in my hair. He heard that we had something old, new, and blue, but that we hadn't had the opportunity to collect something borrowed, so he had this beautiful idea to complete the tradition. It was really a lovely moment. I greatly appreciate the work that Enrique put into making my wedding special. To me, he was more than a vendor and I hope to have other occasions in the future that require an expert hair and makeup artist. If and when that day comes, I won't consider anyone except Enrique for the job.

through the night. My bridesmaids & moms look stunning - they all loved their look too. Enrique is professional & really knows what he's doing. You won't be disappointed either!

tly what I had envisioned it to be, my makeup was flawless and our wedding pictures were perfection! My hair and makeup withstood the heat of Cancun, Mexico in June - his work is every bit of extraordinary!

e. More importantly, Enrique had us all looking like we popped off of the pages of a bridal magazine. The bride was simply stunning!!! I would recommend Enrique to any bride/bridal party that values a truly professional, supermodel experience. Enrique is a very valuable wedding day resource. Thanks a million, Enrique! xo

s as well as my husband said how flawless my makeup and hair looked all throughout the event (which was during July in Napa and a combo outdoor/indoor). The people that know me would describe me as highly organized and buttoned up and it was such a pleasure to work with someone who is also on top of it from the initial inquiry to the hair/makeup trial to the final days leading up to the wedding to the wedding day itself. I've gotten my makeup done before by other pros and he's truly the best I've ever worked with. Additionally, I told him about my nightmare of an experience with getting my makeup done for my engagement shoot and how the makeup got so deeply in my contacts and eyes to the point where I couldn't see. He told me that he's never had that happen to a client before and that he would take extra care when using loose powders. No issues at all and my contacts and eyes were makeup free! I cannot tell you how much of a RELIEF that was as I have sensitive eyes. Furthermore, he's kind and easy to talk to. You are in such good hands with Enrique! I will hands down hire him again if I need my make-up done. Enrique - thank you again for your beautiful work!

so he could get an idea of what I was looking for, and made what I imagined in my head come to life. He was flexible with me as I had several different looks for different events, and each look was different then the previous. He was very responsive and really a very nice person. He made the whole process fun and comfortable.

itely recommend his services :)

ppoint.

QUICK. Enrique came to my house on time, set everything up and started working on my first bridesmaid. 3 words: Amazing, Efficient, Professional. Loved it! FYI: this was my 3rd time using him. Highly recommended!

e is extremely thorough, and takes his time, but he will give you exactly the look that you want. The whole time he was working on my sisters and me, my mother was looking on jealously...she finally asked him if he would do her makeup too, and he graciously agreed. My mom is still talking about the makeup job Enrique did for her. She called it a "miracle" and looked years younger! We couldn't have been happier with Enrique.

edible things to say. When I first met Enrique, I was immediately at ease as we began chatting while he set up his styling tools and equipment. He explained the process (as I had never had airbrush makeup done before) and had asked in advance for photos to use as inspiration, so I was able to relax and sit back while we chatted, laughed, and he asked occasional questions about my specific preferences on hair and makeup, to ensure that I would be happy with the final product. (He makes sure you like the end look and won't stop until it's perfect.) I took my friend's advice and had Enrique apply my makeup and airbrush for our engagement photos. I felt very natural and not like I was wearing a ton of makeup, and he miraculously made my skin tone even and complexion glow. I was very excited to use his services on our wedding day, for myself, bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, grandma AND aunt! (Even though our schedule was already booked, Enrique offered to arrive even earlier to accommodate everyone.) Enrique is not only polite and professional, but everyone loved having him in the bridal suite because he was so friendly and helpful. If the girls would ask him for something minor to be changed, he would gladly oblige. He prioritizes client satisfaction, and his services will not disappoint. He even throws in a "day-of" makeup kit to the bride for touch-ups, which I didn't even have to use because my makeup lasted all day and through the night. All of the women loved getting their hair and make-up done, and were just as amazed when everyone's makeup remained intact until the end of the night. His team was equally friendly and skilled. Enrique makes you feel like the best version of yourself, and I wish I had more events to have an excuse to call him to get my make-up done. Thank you, Enrique!

r all of my bridesmaids, mother of bride, and mother of groom on my wedding day. It is honestly the first wedding that I have been a part of (and I have been involved in many) that everyone actually truly loved their hair and makeup. No complaints from anyone! Enrique is extremely talented and I would recommend him to anyone! The makeup lasts all day and allows you to look completely flawless which you obviously want on your wedding day! Book Enrique- he is awesome!!

all the pictures. Hire him for your wedding today, Enrique is worth every penny !!!!

e, everything you would look for as a bride. I had many complements and still look at my wedding photos in awe. He transformed me to exactly what I wanted to look like. He has the best value and has an amazing team if you have a large bridal party. I had 15 people the day of my wedding for hair and makeup and every thing went so smooth, I didn't have to worry about hair and makeup and focus on other things. Enrique and his team are the stylist any bride should have for their wedding. I loved that he offers second looks with his package. Personally, I loved having a different look at the ceremony and a different one for the reception! You only get to wear your dress once, so you better make the most of it! There were no flaws at all and my makeup stayed the whole day. If you want the perfect hair and makeup, honestly you won't find it anywhere else. I found my hair and makeup stylist for life!

done such a great job the first time and did not disappoint for my own big day! He did my hair and makeup and it was exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous as well!

meeting me for 10 minutes! He was very prepared with amazing products and I loved the overall experience of having him travel to your location instead of you having to travel to the salon. I really look forward to having Enrique make me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful on the day of my wedding. I know I made the right choice!

e and did an incredible job creating a hair and makeup style that complimented my dress and gave me the glamorous looki was dreaming of! I was so pleased that my hair and makeup looked flawless for 15+ hours! On my wedding day he was so prompt and worked so hard to style myself and my bridesmaids. We were all in love with his work! He did an amazing job and all my guests could talk about was how glamorous my hair and makeup looked. He made me feel my most beautiful on my special day! He has a true talent and is so professional. I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again!

rything from start to finish. He did the makeup for 5 bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law and myself all within the time frame we discussed. Everyone loved their makeup and adored him too. I will definitely work with him again.

He was SO patient with me. :) Got married 5 days ago on 10/17 and booked Enrique almost 6 months before. Before signing a contract for the wedding, he came to do my engagement picture make-up. It was my "test" to make sure I liked his work....I didn't just like it, I LOVED it. Signed the contract for our wedding that very same day! For the official wedding trial, I shared lots of pictures of hair and makeup ideas. Enrique very politely steered me in the right direction by assuring me that some colors I wanted would be regretted in years to come...of course, I trusted him. He has an artistic eye and it is evident he KNOWS what he is talking about. :) On our wedding day, Enrique arrived bright and early with another hair artist - 6:15am to do makeup/ hair for 5 bridesmaids, an auntie, 2 flower girls and of course the bride :). Enrique is the definition of a professional. He very politely kept us on schedule for our 1pm ceremony. His attention to detail is unbelievable. My bridal makeup was perfect and completely flawless....even 12 hours later after emotional tears and tearing up the dance floor! :) If you want to look your best and work with a talented professional artist, miracle worker, and all around wonderful person - go with Brides By Enrique. looking for a FLAWLESS wedding look, Enrique is your guy! He is very prompt via text or email and answers all your questions as candidly as he can. As an accountant, I tend to be detailed and ask more than I probably need. He was SO patient with me. :) Got married 5 days ago on 10/17 and booked Enrique almost 6 months before. Before signing a contract for the wedding, he came to do my engagement picture make-up.

reception the day before my wedding, as well as my & my mother's hair and make up for the day of the wedding. With his help, I truly felt like a princess on my special day. Highly recommend Enrique!

satisfied with the Hair and Makeup. Everyone loved how I looked that day. You cannot go wrong with him. Thank you Enrique :)

love for him to do my my hair and make up again for someone else's wedding

f different skin tones and ages and everyone looked gorgeous, especially me (the bride)! Look no further, you have found your makeup and hair artist for your big day!

ough makeup for you to look AMAZING in photos, but also so you don't look crazy in person. He uses an awesome airbrush technique and with his experience, he just knows how to do everything exactly right. He did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower, bachelorette party, pre-wedding ceremony, actual wedding ceremony (actually 2 since I had an Indian wedding) and reception! He is always on time, professional, and was one of the best people to have by your side on your wedding day. He makes everything fun and comfortable, I seriously can't imagine anyone better. My makeup in photos came out so great that our wedding got featured in a magazine. I really can't say enough good things about Enrique!!

id my hair and makeup for every event. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup that week, and I felt I looked like a movie star-- all due to his amazing work! I only provided him with a few pictures of inspiration and he was able to create a unique hair and makeup look for every event that wowed all my guests and even my husband! I still looked like 'me'-- except with flawless skin and perfect hair! I can't say enough positive things about him and the caliber of his work. He is so easy to work with, always super professional and most importantly a very calming person to be around! I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thank you, Enrique, I felt beautiful at my wedding!

, and after looking at pictures of that night, I decided to change the look. The new look on my wedding day was perfect--it was exactly what I wanted! Friends and family told me later that my makeup looked amazing, and I just told them it was all Enrique. Enrique's pricing is very fair (I did my research), he's easy to work with, he brings all his own equipment (from a folding chair to hair/makeup), and most importantly, he does a fantastic job!

ntract smooth and easy. Enrique was always quick to respond to emails and questions. Enrique was easy to work with and really listened to what look I wanted for my wedding day. Wedding day went very smooth and after some helpful, valuable and professional suggestions from Enrique I was impressed and extremely happy with my final look. Enrique also did my 11 year old daughter's makeup, which turned out perfect. It was just the right amount of makeup for a kid. The icing on the cake for me was when the mother of the groom asked at the last minute if Enrique could do her hair and makeup also even though she was not scheduled in the contract. Enrique made time for her at the end with out a problem or complaint! Customer service at its best!

wanted, the look I was going for and what was mostly important for that day. He was very understanding. Of course He is an experienced guru when it comes to make up! The day of my wedding, He was very courteous to text me and remind me that everything was going to turn out amazing, and it sure did! I was extremely impressed with the skills and patience he had. He made me look like a princess, and best of all, the make up lasted through the whole day and night. No touch ups (Well only a little lip gloss re touch) I was so happy with my look! My husband said He loved the look and all my friends and family were pretty impressed as well...every single picture from the wedding was so beautiful !!! Thanks to Enrique, I felt confident, beautiful, and definitely put myself in the right hands. If you are looking for a great make up artist, look no further than with Enrique, trust me...you will love what you see in the mirror!!!

ly look forward to working with Enrique again! Thank you, Enrique!

you want on your wedding day for your hair and makeup. There are enough things to distract you on your wedding day – your hair and makeup should be the farthest thing from your mind. Lucky for me, Enrique did a FLAWLESS job. I am not a fan of heavy makeup because it tends to cake onto my face and/or makes me look like a drag queen. However, Enrique uses this airbrush foundation which made my skin look like smooth and creamy caramel. He even made a little touch up bag containing my lip color and a powder puff to absorb oil throughout the night. As for my hair, it has started to thin out in the last few years, but that was no obstacle for Enrique. He used filler for my bun (which was not noticeable), and in the end, my hair looked regal. Enrique also did the hair and makeup for my sister-in-law, sister, and two best friends –all with aplomb! And he is a sweetheart to boot. Simply put, he met all my expectations and is worth every penny (and then some)!

ir and makeup styles done for the day.) Enrique comes highly recommended!

makeup and the rest of the party looked amazing, as well. I am normally a very natural girl and don't wear any makeup. I also don't do my hair beyond blow drying it. On my wedding day, I looked absolutely glamorous but I felt absolutely comfortable with my hair style and makeup. Guests were stunned when they saw me and I still get comments about how great I looked (and multiple people asked me about who styled me). I only wish I had another event of the necessary magnitude so that I could hire Enrique again.

t professional. He was on time and full of energy on the Big Day; even though he stayed up pretty late the night before helping the bridal party prep for the next day. He managed to transform a party of five, which included my mother, grandmother, two sisters and myself. He finished on time and delivered all the way. People still rave about the way I looked on my wedding day. My hair looked absolutely perfect. It was straight out of a magazine cover. It was absolutely stunning. Enrique also transformed my two sisters. When he was done working with them, they looked like super models. My mother and grandmother had never looked so beautiful. Enrique truly went above and beyond his role. On our way to the ceremony, my sisters realized they had left their flower bouquets in their Hotel Suite, Enrique was kind enough to go out of his way, and deliver the bouquets just before the ceremony initiated. He truly saved the day. If you want hair and make up done right, hire Enrique. He went beyond our expectations. I can't say enough about him. I am extremely thrilled with his work. He truly created a memorable experience.

ue's phone number I called him I remember I was in the hospital getting ready for my surgery 10minutes before I was getting knocked out, yea I'm crazy I know but I needed someone to hire ASAP!!! So Enrique answered right away and squeezed me In his busy schedule I am so blessed. I had no time to schedule a trial and was nervous because I'm an olive skin tone and my hair doesn't hold well with curling irons and hairspray weighs my curls down from previous experience. I sent Enrique pictures of what I was looking for, my wedding theme was retro 50's and needed the curls and makeup like a pinup style!!!! Well when he showed up on my wedding day September 5th 2014 he started right away and finished on time, got the hair & makeup exactly the way I wanted it, I have never got so many compliments on my hair and makeup as much as I did on my special day. Without Enrique I wouldn't have felt amazing and beautiful everything was perfect and on top of it my hair and makeup stood the whole day!!!! He nailed it he is so sweet, caring, quick but awesome!!! And professional. I loved him & so did my mom, my mom was having a blast with him. Long story short he made me feel beautiful about myself, everyone was raving about me & my husband the man who doesn't cry in front of people cried while he was staring at me & kept saying "you look so beautiful" & I looked like me, natural not some spray painted barbie doll which made me feel so good as well. I don't like looking fake. You usually have to book people months in advance and he made himself available right away!! One more thing my cousins were all asking who did my hair & makeup at the end of the night because it still stood in place & I party like a rockstar, I said this amazing guy Enrique I just trusted him sent him pictures and he winged it, they were all jealous because on there day it fell within a few hours, I rubbed it in there face nicely flipping my hair lol!!! Thank you Enrique for doing such an amazing job!!! Definitely be using him again for future events!!! Xoxoxo Mrs. Kristie Huerta

up trial, and from the start I knew he would be awesome. He had so many different makeup brushes, I still don't know what they were all used for! He is such a nice person, and he really listened and did my hair and makeup exactly how i pictured it! I was so happy after the trial, I could finally picture what I would look like at the wedding. On the wedding day, Enrique came to the hotel and made all 5 of my bridesmaids' hair look wonderful in 5 different hairstyles. He was so nice to have with us on the crazy morning of the wedding, I know all my girls liked him as much as I did. He also did my mom's and mother in law's makeup, and they both looked beautiful! I was so happy with my hair and makeup, it looked great in the pictures and everything still looked good after some tears, humidity, and rain! I'm so glad Enrique was a part of the wedding day, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married in Chicago!!

d the mothers of the bride and groom makeup. Enrique was professional, personable and a true artist. I was wary of having my make up done, but he assured me it would look great and natural, and I was very happy with the results throughout a hot, outdoor wedding. Thank you Enrique for making us look fabulous!

ulous! He was able to accommodate changes in the number of people getting ready and when it comes to his work he was very profession. He traveled to my house and then followed us to venue to finish getting some of girls ready and to make, if needed, any last minute touch ups. Enrique, thank you so much!!!

ake sure that you look like your most naturally beautiful self. He is incredibly easy and fun to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist. I hope to work with him again in the future!

ed numerous compliments and my pictures turned out fantastic. Enrique is a perfectionist and no doubt will make you look beautiful on your wedding day or for any other elegant occasion. I would recommend using him and have had numerous girlfriends ask me for his contact info. I would advise scheduling the start time a tad earlier than necessary to ensure the bridal party is done in enough time. We started later than planned on my day, but he made up for it with the quality of service. His specialty I would say is accenting your eyes!

e did on my wedding day. I also had my sister in- law, mother in-law and mother get their hair and makeup done and they looked like 3 different people. I have shared my experience with my friends and they have booked him for their wedding. I have used Enrique's services not only for my wedding but for lots of other important ocassions. He had the patience , passion and more than anything the TALENT. I will never go to anyone else when it comes to hair and makeup.

g for me and my mom. Once again he went above and beyond. My hair and make up was amazing that I had 3 brides to be ask me for his contact info. My mother was extremely happy with his work as well (she is a hard pleaser). Overall a great person and professional!!!

great under pressure, and most of all TALENTED. One satisfied customer right here :)
