She was incredible! Erica was hired on a recommendation of a good friend of mine. Her magical work was done in record time and she was wonderful applying makeup to our 9 year old (who looked so grown up I couldn't stand it 😀). Highly recommend!!

Erica delivered for me amazingly! Erica’s booking process is very easy and professional. She showed up to my bridal suite on time and prepared. Erica immediately created a mood of calmness and serenity. The entire time she gathered enough details to give me a flawless look (I had no clue what I wanted). The finished result was an excellent romantic glam look, that made my groom say “wow” when he saw me, AND I still looked like me. Erica gave me one of my fondest memories of my wedding day. Also, as you can probably tell… She is an amazing woman, has a wonderful personality and an infectious smile and laugh.

Erica is such a beautiful person. I’m so glad she was able to do my makeup.
I don’t even know where to start. Erica greets you with a smile and her presence is everything. I was very comfortable with Erica. She explained everything to me as she was doing my makeup and carried on a great conversation. It was so relaxing.
Erica knew what I wanted without me telling her . She is a true artist. I felt so beautiful and transformed on my wedding day. Everyone loved my makeup and my wedding pictures look fabulous thanks to Erica.

Where to start with Erica?! My wedding party was incredibly diverse in ethnicity and taste in the way by which they like their makeup, and Erica was seamlessly able to make everyone not only look beautiful - but feel beautiful! She brought amazing energy to a beautiful day, and I could not have imaged by wedding day without her. 10/10 would highly recommend hiring her for any moment in life when you are looking for perfect glam.

You would be seriously SO lucky to get to work with Erica!!! I could not imagine my beautiful (but stressful) day without her. As a bride there are just so many things to worry about and you want to be perfect.. if you go with Erica, you will not have to worry about your makeup that is for sure. She made me feel so beyond beautiful and was such a fun spirit to have in the room while we were getting ready. You're the best Erica and thank you for being amazing!!!

I have never cared to or ever have written a review for someone but I just have to with Erica! In the past, I have had some bad experience with getting my makeup done and it caused me to lose trust in anyone doing my makeup. I was just about to declare that I was going to do my own makeup for my wedding... but then I found Erica. She is just a burst of energy and joy! After I had my trial run with her I fell in love with my makeup! She did a great job at executing my desired look. She matched my color perfectly and made sure the color was just dark enough to where I still looked great and to where I was not washed out in photos. Her name "Eyes by Erica" is perfect because my eyes were ON POINT! Everything was on point! I felt so beautiful and she definitely made me feel beautiful. We developed a great connection on our trail so it made it all that more special when she did my wedding makeup. If I ever need to get my makeup done again for a special event, she will be the only person I go to! I highly recommend Erica!

Erica came highly recommended by someone who used her services prior. I'm so grateful for the suggestion and that I chose Erica to do my make-up, as well as my bridesmaids, for the wedding. She is a talented make-up artist. She was thorough, professional, and was awesome with time management. I felt stunning when my look was completed. All my bridesmaids loved Erica and her work as well. I would absolutely recommend Erica to any future bride looking for a make-up artist.

Erica was absolutely amazing! Even my dad, who knows nothing about makeup complimented her work. She makes your make up natural with a nice glam pop.

Erica is wonderful! She is engaging, talented, and fun. She feels like a friend after only 3 times spent together and I am so thankful she was my make up artist! She did my makeup for my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and my makeup, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law's make up for my wedding. She is always on time and prepared and knew how to make everyone look and feel their best.

Erica is bomb.com. I contacted a TON of makeup artists and am so glad I hired Erica. She is not only amazing at makeup but has the best vibrant personality. At first I was worried that she would do all the makeup by herself bc other artists were bringing entourages to help with makeup, but she assured me that she could get it all done. She was quick to get my bridal party and family's faces done. EVERYONE (even my picky mother in law) were so happy with how she did their makeup. I plan on using Erica for all my future makeup needs. Book her now before she fills up!

Erica is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly skilled and so efficient with her time. I had 6 bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and me all get are make up done with plenty of time to spare. I couldn't believe how quickly she moved. She put fake eyelashes on me the best I've ever seen. Everything about my make up was completely perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Plus she is just an awesome person that will make you completely relaxed on your big day! I highly recommend Erica. She will defiantly make you feel and look your best.

Man, where do I start!? When she told me she could do bridal makeup on 25 min I was skeptical.... Then when the trial came I
Was blown away! My lashes even stayed on an extra week. The Bachelorette pictures were gorgeous. The makeup looks airbrushed to perfection! Plus she is such a seeetjeart and really had my best intentions at heart. Can’t wait to use again...now I need my handsome new husband to take me somewhere fancy... 😉

I write to review the single most amazing make up artist in the WORLD. Erica is, by far, beyond fantastic. The wedding makeup she did for me was red carpet quality, I cant tell you the number of compliments I received that day and evening. I looked flawless the entire time. Erica is not a "make-up artist"...she is a true artist. even I was stunned at how I looked for my wedding, Erica also did my makeup for my engagement photos....again simply flawless. If you are looking for the number one makeup artist in the DFW area, you simply can not do any better than Erica. I look forward to Erica doing my makeup for my anniversary party next year. Simply put, they don't come any better than Eyes By Erica. Absolutely love her work and I can not recommend her highly enough. I wish there were 10 stars because she deserves them and so many more.

Erica does amazing work! I typically wear minimal makeup and she did an amazing job of elevating a natural look! We spent an hour together during my trial going through all the things we thought worked and didn't and she came up with a perfect makeup palette and application for me! You will not be disappointed, plus her energy is exactly what you need to keep you laughing on your big day!

No review can justify how amazing Erica is! As a woman who doesn’t wear makeup often, Erica walked me through every step with patience. She’s so personable, friendly and just down right awesome! I had a wedding party of 12 bridesmaids and she did everyone including myself with time to spare! No one complained, she had everyone laughing. With Erica I felt stress free the whole entire experience from my Bridal Shower to the day of my wedding! I wish I could give her 1000 stars. I will be using her for any invite moving forward! And will be recommending her to everyone!

Erica is amazing!!!
Such a fun personality to have around and VERY talented, professional and knowledgeable! I was also impressed with how quickly she’s able to perform her makeup services- which is helpful when you have several ladies getting makeup done on your big day. Each of my girls looked STUNNING, including my mom who never likes getting makeup done— and yes, she ended up loving her look! I had several people compliment not just my makeup- but my entire bridal party. If you want to look good on your wedding, you need Erica!

If you want amazing makeup for your big day, you HAVE to get Eyes by Erica! My makeup turned out exactly how I wanted and it looked great after a hot, Texas night, full of dancing.
The night before the wedding, I had to let Erica know that the hotel didn't book my room and we would be getting ready at another place. She was so accommodating, showed up promptly, and fully prepared. Not only is Erica an amazing makeup artist, she had the bridal party laughing and having a great time! Her personality and positive energy are exactly what you want when preparing for the "best day ever." One of my bridesmaids even asked Erica if she had time to do her makeup after she saw how great everyone else's looked.

Erica was so professional and understood what I and my bridesmaids needed. She knew the perfect colors to go with the country theme and accented each of the girls specific qualities that made each one so unique. She littlerally created a show piece while not plastering 10 lbs of makeup on.she truly has a gift. She was also prompt and efficient and also has a great sense of humor. An outstanding job, I can’t thank you enough!!!

Erica was the best professional and patient make-up artist any bride could ever dream of. She kept me, my mom, and four bridesmaids very comfortable and well entertained with her amazing high energy...she is just beaming with great talents, which made my special day even more memorable. Erica knows that I would not trust anyone's make-up skills but hers because of her superior expertise!!! She will over deliver and never disappoint :-) Our make-up was RAVISHING!
Overall, Erica is truly extremely passionate about her work, and will definitely ensure that your wedding make-up experience will be one that's never forgotten!

Erica is AMAZING!!! She was recommended to me by my sister in law’s boss the same day I found her on The Knot. She responds quickly and is super sweet and professional. She did my makeup today 3/10/18 for my engagement photos and will be doing the entire bridal party makeup for the wedding. I’ve been to sleep and woke up and my makeup is
still FLAWLESS.....that’s how awesome she is! She really make you feel like you’re family and her passion shows in her work.
UPDATE: Erica really is the best!!! The bridal party, the mothers, everyone including myself looked absolutely beautiful! She spent the day with us getting us ready and it was as if she was apart of the family. Everyone just loved talking to her and was amazed at how beautiful we all looked. Please do not hesitate to book Erica! You will not regret choosing her!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Erica is THE BEST makeup artist I have ever had. I cried/bawled three different times during the day, wiping my eyes/face on a hankerchief, and my makeup looked FLAWLESS all the way through to our final picture getting into our car at 11:30pm. She connected with my MIL, my mother, and all my girls and made them feel special while they were getting their makeup done. She made my day relaxing and gave me some downtime away from the craziness while it was just her and I doing makeup. She is a beautiful spirit who you jsut love to be around. I cannot recommend Erica enough. I will request her services for future events.

One of my bridesmaids said "Erica really knows how to accentuate our best features" and I 110% agree!

Let me begin by saying that before I met Erica, I have NEVER had my makeup done professionally and felt good about it and didn't fix it after. Not at prom, not at the MAC counter, definitely not at ANY of my friends' weddings, and not at any of the 3 other bridal trials I did before meeting Erica. My standards were HIGH, clearly.
Ya'll I was giddy after Erica finished working her magic at our trial, I've never felt better about how my makeup made me look and immediately booked my wedding with her. She took the time to ask me questions, observe how I did my makeup and actually figure out what looked best on my face. Also she is one of the most fun people ever to be around and cracks me up! All my bridesmaids loved her and how they looked on my wedding day. Erica is seriously amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. Next time I have somewhere fancy to be, I'm calling her!

Even though I was cutting it very close to the deadline with booking my MUA, I am so glad I found someone who was able to do an excellent job. She asked me lots of questions about the look I was going for, was knowledgeable and helped me make important decisions about every aspect of my look. Erica was very prompt on the day of the wedding and even calmed my nerves. I got so many compliments. I would definitely recommend her to any other brides or bridal party!
