I did a lot of research before booking a hair and makeup team for my wedding needs because wedding makeup is not something you want to play around with. I am so happy that Holly was recommended by my wedding planner. She is a true artist! You can tell how much she loves makeup because she really understands what products work best for your skin type and tone which was important to me because I have more sensitive skin. I used her for my engagements, bridal shoot and wedding day and I'm so glad I made that decision. She can do it all and make you look flawless without looking overdone. I highly recommend her to any girl that wants a stress-free wedding day!
Holly is a fantastic makeup artist! She did a phenomenal job with not just my bridal makeup but also my mom and sister's. I usually don't wear a ton of makeup so I've always feared that getting makeup professionally done would be too "caked on" but that was definitely not the case with Holly. I still felt like myself, but way more glamorous, which is exactly how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. She's also very friendly, easy going and professional. Thank you, Holly!
I loved Holly!!! She made it possible for me to have no stress while getting ready. We had met before and did a trial of the look I was going for. Holly took pictures and remembered small things that I wanted to adjust which made it feel personalized. I would definitely recommend her!
Holly is truly amazing! Her work was perfect for my wedding day. She transformed my entire wedding party into a glamorous group of ladies. She is incredibly professional and pays critical attention to detail. She spent so much time on each person to ensure everything was perfect. She listened to each request, and then executed it flawlessly. Not only is she a talented makeup artist, she is a wonderful human being. She was so kind to everyone and she quickly become a part of our family. I have no hesitation in recommending Holly for your wedding day!
I want whoever is reading my review to know that I understand how important it is to find a professional who you can trust and rely on and is most importantly good at what they do. After having Holly do my make-up for my bridal, boudoir, wedding, and putting cover-up on my husband so his dark circles wouldn't show, she is the one you want. She is a professional in her craft, sweet as can be, kind, quine and gentle. Any worries I had when it came to my make-up quickly disappeared thanks to Holly. Here's a few reasons as to why:
1.) When my husband and I read our vows to each other during our first look we cried. Our make-up was still pristine as though we didn't cry like no one's business.
2.) We love to dance so it was no surprise that we sweated up a storm after dancing for 3+ hours underneath the Austin sky still didn't have to touch up our make-up.
3.) I took my bridal photo's outside during the summer heat in Austin. Never had to fix it.
4.) She was so gentle when applying make-up. I knew my little flower girl would be good in Holly's hands.
5.) My husband's groomsmen and our family never even noticed he had cover-up on for his dark circles. They were shocked and still don't believe us to this day.
6.) I have acne (face, neck, arms, back) and she made me put all those supermodels/celebrities to shame with how beautiful I looked.
7.) Make-up never felt pancakey. Still felt light and breathable which is good when you have acne because no one likes breakouts.
8.) Holly is open-minded on trying different looks and altering things(ex: more mascara, lighter shade on lips, more contour). It was fun testing different make-up styles with her.
9.) Truly listened to me and helped me when I was struggling on what look I wanted, and there were a lot of ideas.
10.) My mom gets uncomfortable and her eye's water when people put mascara on her. Holly had no qualms when I asked if my mom could put the mascara on herself.
Holly is a gem that can help you shine on your wedding day.
Holly was amazing to work with. I did my bridal portraits on the same day as the trial and myself and my photographer were blown away with how amazing the makeup looked on camera. I was an out of town bride and Holly even recommended other vendors such as the florist and the wedding planner to me. She really does work with the best vendors in Austin. The wedding day was seamless and her team was equally amazing and so nice and funny. Just call her!!
Holly was wonderful and very easy to work with. All of us looked great. I wish I had her everyday to do my makeup!!!
I am just blown away still with how amazing Holly and her team were. I wanted a company that would make all my girls & me feel like a million bucks and they did just that. My wedding party was on the higher side, being 11 BMs, and they came in and just wowed everyone. My girls and I have been in numerous weddings and everyone single one of them said this was the best hair and makeup they have ever had. They TRULY are the best and I couldn't be more happy!
I was a little bit desperate to find a hair and make up person when someone recommended Holly to me. I am so thankful that they did! My trial was perfect. Lauren & Brooke were so fun and complimentary, they made me feel beautiful and styled my hair more beautifully than I ever imagined (I'm a curly girl and very picky about how people style it). I called my fiance and we had a date night, I felt so lovely.
On my wedding date they were early, brought all of the correct supplies, and were quick but handled everything we threw at them professionally (lots of people wanted extra things that they accomodated without an issue- my Mom wanted makeup, my cousin got her hair in an up-do). I was so pleased with how my hair and makeup turned out, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I felt like a princess. It looked just like the trial! And best of all my hair and make up held up ALL night, despite hot and sweaty conditions and dancing and eating.
If you need hair and make up for any occasion, DO book these ladies. You will not be sorry!
Holly did my make up for a photo shoot. everything looks so natural and it came out great in the pictures. Holly is also an aesthetician so she really addressed the issues with my skin before she applied my make up.
i've had my make up done many times, and this is by far my best experience. I will definitely recommend Holly to others and go back to her for any make up needs. Thank you Holly!
Holly is fantastic!!! We were crunched for time and she made everyone look gorgeous and flawless without making anyone feel rushed. She even finished with time to spare! Her personality is so sweet and personable. She made each of us feel beautiful and special!
I never liked how I looked after getting my makeup professionally done, before Holly! She made me feel so unbelievably BEAUTIFUL. My husband wants me to hire her to do random parties and stuff from now on because of how great I looked on our wedding day. All my bridesmaids loved how their makeup looked too. One even is considering hiring her and flying her out for her wedding. If you’re considering Holly, look no further! She’s your makeup artist.
Holly was amazing, attentive and hit the nail on the head when it came to figuring out both of my makeup looks. She's sweet and has a relaxing sense about her that really helped on such a big anxious day. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Holly did my makeup for a friend’s wedding and she was so amazing I literally want to fly her across the country for my own wedding! She totally understood exactly what I wanted without any direction. Also, the makeup stayed on better than I’ve ever had makeup stay on before. She is truly an artist! She also did the bride’s makeup (I was MOH) and the bride kept saying all night “I can’t get over how amazing my makeup is!”
Working with Holly was a wonderful experience. She was able to work with very little direction and create a look that made me look flawless! EVERYONE was amazed at how beautiful my makeup looked and couldn't wait for her to do their makeup. Holly is just all around talented. She is also a wardrobe stylist and can help you style your final look, down to the jewelry you choose and your shoes. You really do feel like she is there to make you look the absolute best you can!
Holly is an amazingly talented makeup artist, and she did a flawless job on my wedding makeup and on my wedding party's makeup. Everyone looked fantastic and she was able to do a range of looks to please everyone, and I couldn't have been happier. Everyone commented how beautiful my wedding party looked and it was because of Holly! Our photos came out phenomenal because they makeup was toned perfectly to capture the best of everyone.
I got married on a very hot day at the end of summer, and everyone's makeup withheld the heat even through our sweat. Holly made our whole experience fun and she was a joy to work with. I loved how my makeup looked in my trial and on my wedding day. I usually wear a normal amount of makeup everyday, and my wedding makeup was important to me that it was flawless. It looked better than I could have wished for. Thank you Holly for an amazing experience and being part of my wedding day!
I was an out of town guest for a July wedding and wanted someone to apply my makeup. Holly Walseth and her team were very professional and so talented. All the bridal gals and moms were gorgeous and Holly's sweet and calm personality is perfect for the managed chaos before the "I does".
Holly is absolutely amazing! She is a true artist and knows how to give each person an unique look that fits their style. I had a wonderful experience with her. Holly was always on time, in fact she was always at least 15 minutes early to each of our appointments. She worked with me on changing our times around to fit all my girls in for the wedding. I never had to worry about contact, she always contacted me with updates and/or confirming our dates and times. My makeup looked so gorgeous every time! I went with a more glam look for my wedding. However, I had many bridesmaids that go for a more natural look and she killed all of it. She can literally do it all and wants to make sure you love the look you are getting. Best of all she has a great personality! She loves what she is doing and is a great person to have on your team for your big day or any other fun event!
Holly did the most GORGEOUS bridal makeup for a close friend's wedding back in 2017, and when I got engaged, she was one of the first vendors I chose! Holly is an incredible makeup artist--she was great at capturing my vision for how I wanted to look on my wedding day, and I loved that I still looked like me (just, a much more done up version of me!). Beyond being a fantastic makeup artist, Holly was such an laid-back and easy person to work with. Please don’t hesitate to let her help you find a hairstylist as well. She truly does know and work with the best beauty vendors in Austin.
Working with Holly and her team was awesome! She made me and my ladies look gorgeous and the makeup and hair lasted all throughout the night. You can tell that she really loves what she does and she is super cute and easy to work with. I have worked with a lot of other makeup artists and not been happy with their work but that was not the case with Holly and her team. Just book her!
Holly who was a perfect fit. As with most wedding day's, the day was a bit chaotic and I was super anxious because we were running behind schedule. Holly showed up to the event with a great attitude, big smile, and true excitement for her work. Her easy-going personality had a wonderful calming effect and immediately put me at ease. She's super talented and created the looks for both my daughter and I with very little guidance. I showed her pictures of the event space, my dress, and within minutes she had a vision for what our makeup should look like. I received TONS of compliments throughout the night and the pictures turned out fabulous. The makeup looked just as good at 3pm as it did at midnight. Holly had created a custom color lipstick for me which I kept close by for touch-ups which was much appreciated. I would happily recommend Holly to friends and family and would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I could not have asked for a better make up artist. I had a 7:30 am arrival and she was on time to the minute! Her artistry with make up it a true gift and she made me look angelic. She listens and understood exactly what my vision was. She is fun, professional and calm and brought a team with her with that same level of skill and profession. She knows what is classy and cool! I also want to say, do not hesitate to let her recommend a hair stylist! She knows the best of the best for that. Thank you Holly and Erica Gray (hair)!! Holly you rock and every bride deserves makeup as amazing as you gave me on my very special day!
Holly was the best makeup artist I think I've ever worked with. As someone who does not wear much makeup on a daily basis, I was concerned I would look overdone on my wedding day. That was not the case at all! She listened to my concerns (having had bad experiences in the past) and the outcome was perfect. I had nothing to worry about. She matched colors beautifully, it was flawless. Every bridesmaid was beautiful as well! She was a dream to work with and, if I ever need makeup done again I would absolutely go back to her.
Holly did a fantastic job at our wedding. I tried out a few other make-up artists, but she was definitely the best. I put very little make-up on day to day, so I didn't want to look like a different person on my wedding day and Holly really nailed it. Others may say they can do 'natural', but you end up looking ridiculous. Thankfully, I had Holly and the makeup looked great in person and in photos. She's versatile and takes in your input. Fabulous job.
Holly is amazing!! I had no idea what I wanted for my wedding makeup and just asked her to do something 'soft'. I didn't look the whole time she was working on my makeup but something about her let me know that she knew exactly what she was doing - I trusted her completely. When I looked in the mirror I was SO happy.. It was exactly what I wanted and had not done a great job communicating. I so appreciate that she made me really glow on my wedding day. She was excellent for all of my wedding party as well!
Holly was a fabulous part of making our wedding day so special. She showed up on location early and had such a calming demeanor to her all day. Holly has expertise in knowing what make-up will photograph well and last the night away and truly listens to exactly what you want. So glad she made our prep time seamless, easy and fun.
I am not someone that wears makeup everyday, or even most days. But on my wedding day I wanted to feel like the most beautiful woman in the room, and like it or not, makeup was necessary to make that happen.
Often times, women who have a more "natural" look feel clownish when wearing the amount of makeup necessary to withstand the bright lights of multiple camera lenses. I wanted to avoid this at all costs.
I don't think I could have picked a better makeup artist than Holly. She understood my vision and made me look stunning, while still looking very much like me. I would recommend Holly to anyone.
Where do I begin?! From the very first email with her until our final consultation, my mom and I were just floored by the professionalism, options, and flexibility Holly had to offer. She worked within our budget too! She went above and beyond creating the perfect wedding look. It was more than I could have ever wanted and imagined! She went out of her way to find the perfect lip color for me too! When the hair stylist fell through, she swooped in and found someone even better to take her place! She did an amazing job helping me create and bring the vision for my wedding look to life!
Holly was very professional, great communication. She understood and executed the look I was wanting. The make up was beautifully done and it turned out amazing in the photography. Wonderful experience.
