lani and I can honestly say that her services were the MOST calming part of my wedding day. Leilani is knowledgeable, kind, and very delicate. She takes her time and makes sure that you are 100% happy with the outcome. If you look at any of the photos on her website, you’ll see that she is across the board talented. There is absolutely NOTHING that I would change about my makeup on my wedding day! Thank you, Leilani! <3
Leilani was an absolute dream to work with! She is so communicative - I never had to follow up with her, she was always on top of it.
Her presence was super calming on the day of...
- we were never in a rush. She asked each of my bridal party what they wanted for their makeup, and everyone LOVED what she did. We had no issues whatsoever with anything needing to be touched up. And, when the lipstick I bought turned out to be way too red for my vibe, she had a brand new lipstick at the ready for me that was the perfect color.
My entire wedding party agreed, Leilani was the BEST vendor I had for the entire wedding. Highly recommend booking!

so beautiful while providing a natural feel! She also did some of the girls in my wedding party and they complimented on how she is the best they've ever had when its come to getting their makeup done! She is very personable and definitely adjusts her talents to your needs!
Leilani was awesome! I used her for my wedding on 6/17/2017 and was so happy that I did. She used her amazing skills to make myself and the rest of my bridesmaids look beautiful!...

Leilani was a wonderful and crucial part of my wedding day!! There is a lot to be said for a woman who is talented enough to make her clients feel 100% at home and ready for their ...
big day. Leilani was gracious, accommodating, and receptive to my comments. There was not one point in time when I didn't feel like she had my happiness and confidence at the center of her attention the entire time! Including getting me all dolled up and presentable, her and her assistant helped get my group (10 total) ready to go and made up on schedule, with plenty of time for photos, and looking their absolute best. I had a very loose "theme" as well and let my bridesmaids do most of the talking for their makeup. It was wonderful to be able to trust Leilani to create a cohesive look while also encouraging that my bridesmaids should also feel comfortable in their own skin! She took all the stress off me, and it was a wonderful morning very lacking in disaster and full of beautiful memories :) THANK YOU, Leilani for sharing my day with me!!
Leilani did an incredible job with my makeup on my wedding day!! I wanted to maintain an enhanced, natural look and she pulled it off perfectly! I received so many compliments!...
! She also was really fun and was great to hang out with while getting ready for my wedding day! I highly recommend Leilani! She is awesome!
Leilani was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is in the makeup industry. I knew she had to have some skills to get a referral by a pro. From when I reached out to her and t...
hrough my wedding day Leilani was professional and fun to interact with. She was very responsive and even asked for some photos to gave her an idea of my weeding inspiration. At my trial, she gave me a look that was flawless and timeless.
The morning of my wedding Leilani was on time, fresh and ready to be part of my day. She is gregarious, fun, light and added a positive energy to our morning. We loved having her around. I looked incredible and the rest of my wedding party looked amazing and elegant. I was so calm all morning because I knew I was in such great hands. Our makeup looked great all night long with hardly a touchup. I can’t recommend Leilani enough, she is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does.
Leilani was the highlight for getting ready for our wedding! She was as accommodating as she is talented. She did make up for myself, my bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid and both...
mothers. The age range was 10 to 60+ and everyone loved their makeup and looked so beautiful! All of us had very different make up styles, skin types and requests and she was able to do it all. On top of that, we had to switch locations of where we were getting ready right as she had started and she took it in stride and still had us ready in time! If you are picky about a certain look (I asked for natural, but better) Leilani is your girl and is why I recommend her to any bride-to-be I meet! I would give her 10 stars if I could!
Leilani was amazing! Not only did she totally understand what I wanted, but she nailed the look perfectly -- I'm not usually one to wear any eye makeup, and I never felt uncomforta...
ble or unlike myself! My bridesmaids all loved their makeup too, and looked completely natural and glowy. Leilani was also super sweet and it was so easy to chat with her throughout the morning. She also arrived exactly on time and finished early, even after adjusting a bridesmaid's makeup a few times. Overall, I would recommend Leilani 100% and couldn't be happier with the results!
