Thank you so much to Stephanie, Mel and team for the amazing service for my wedding. We all looked amazing and you kept us looking amazing all night. Super professional and overall wonderful conversation and service. Thank you!!
We had an amazing experience with Stephanie and her team! Aside from having an excellent price for service, she was flexible and amenable to having her team do 13 makeup looks in just 5 hours (bride, 9 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and flower girl!). My bridesmaids and I all had different skin types and tones—yet Stephanie, Princess, and Ashley were able to capture my exact makeup vision for all of the ladies in record time. Especially kudos to Stephanie as she was able to match my exact dark skin tone AND made my identical twin sister (who is also dark skinned) look just as beautiful as me. She also matched the tone for my fair skinned sister-in-law and tan-skinned maid of honor EXACTLY. Ashley and Princess were also exceptional—they did not have the inspiration photos available beforehand so I was worried they would not match Stephanie’s work. But I was so wrong! They took one quick look at each inspiration photo and then matched the EXACT look for my other bridesmaids and the mothers. All 13 of us were absolutely obsessed with our final looks and couldn’t have been happier with the turnout. I’ve personally never looked more beautiful in my life! I also really appreciated their flexibility and patience with the cramped space and my anxieties/tension about the day—the three artists worked quietly and quickly but would check on us and sing along with us to the music to help calm me down. They were all extremely professional and had a great read on the room. Surprisingly, none of them even took a break—they worked nonstop, standing for hours! Bonus: Stephanie also provided me with an emergency makeup touch-up kit for the day that I didn’t even need to use! My makeup stayed put for the entire 12 hours of my event! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and wish everyone everywhere would book them!
I hired Stephanie for bridal make up. We did a trial at her home. I showed her an inspo picture and she made it happen. Her make up techniques are amazing, has anyones skin looking so soft and smooth. The make up also photographs extremely well which is very important. She came to my parents house the morning of my wedding, was on time and did 8 members make up, all stunning. Highly recommend!
I have booked Stephanie for past events and she has never disappointed me thus far. Stephanie is very professional and exerts all qualities as an MUA.I knew she would be the perfect person to make my bride look vision come to life!! She exceeded my expectations and was very accommodating as well with all my bridesmaids . If anyone were to need a MUA I would recommend her as my first choice. Stephanie always come very prepared for all shades of skin tone. She knows what products work well with your type of skin and makes you look flawless. If it’s one thing you don’t have to question it’s Stephanie glamming you up and making you feel like the princess you are.
I have been using Stephanie for makeup since I met her back in 2018 for a wedding I was in that she was doing. Stephanie's love and passion for make up not only shows in her work but also in her professionalism and sweet personality. Sitting in her chair is one of my favorite things to do. I trust her to always bring my vision to life with extra! I have never once been disappointed in any of my appointments with her! She also knows other stylist for your wedding needs like hair and has the connections to slay any bridal party size! I would recommend Stephanie over and over again for your makeup needs especially for the biggest day of your life!!!
