I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible work done by Alyssa and her team on my wedding day (Oct 2023).
From the trial, to the actual wedding day, Alyssa displayed an...
incredible level of artistry and skill. She really took the time to understand my vision and preferences, while also offering valuable insights and suggestions that complemented my features. The result was a makeup look that was not only glamorous, but very much me! I felt like a real life doll and my make-up lasted the entire day and night!
Beyond her exceptional skill, Alyssa is so fun to work with. She has a calm and friendly demeanor that put me at ease during the pre-wedding preparations. Her commitment to ensuring I was happy with the final result added to the overall positive experience I had on my special day. Any bride would be lucky to work with her!

ns to the style that I am looking for, gives her professional input for my skin type, and always delivers flawlessly.
Alyssa was my angle in disguise <3
After a devastating loss of a child, my now husband and I decided to still proceed with getting married. I was having a very hard time thinking ...
of all the details. My brother found Alyssa for my makeup. Not only was she available at last minute request, she showed up and made me and my mom look amazing. She was calm which helped me stay relaxed and at the same time full of empathy for what we just went through. 4 months later we decided to have 'trash the dress' session and Alyssa did my makeup exactly how it was on my wedding day. To this day everyone who looks at our pictures can tell which ones were done the day of wedding and which were done 4 months later. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone who is looking for top makeup artist.
Alyssa came highly recommended and after using her for our Save The Date photoshoot I could see why! After our initial meeting she was booked for our big day! She made me feel so b...
eautiful the day of. I’m not one for lots of makeup so I was fearful of looking over done and not myself but she got it all right. She is extremely sweet, professional and punctual (which is key to a smooth big day). I would absolutely recommend her to my family and friends.

esmaids. Including one who wore makeup for the first time! All my bridesmaids loved their looks! She was on time, did an incredible job and made getting ready so much fun.

off positive vibes and also did everyone's makeup perfectly tailored to the person. I am pretty particular about my makeup and she was able to create a wedding look that I loved. Wedding prep can be stressful and frenzied but having Alyssa there who has been doing this for so long was helpful and she made it a fun glam session.

o get everyone done WAY before her deadline of 1pm. The makeup lasted all day and not much touchups were needed because it was perfection! None of the ladies looked caked-on or showed that they had makeup. We already got pictures back from our photographer, and each girl looks FLAWLESS! Alyssa came to our hotel for make up and was there even earlier then we had asked her. She's punctual, professional, and truly an artist with a brush. Definitely will be using her again in the near future for any of my female families' needs. Thanks love!!
