Linh's fabulous and I'd highly recommend you to reach out to her for her services. Not only does she take the time to listen, but she also gives suggestions along the way without pushing you to feel one way or another.
I had shared inspiration pics with her prior and she took the time to re-confirm my decision before proceeding. Not once did I feel like she didn't respect my opinion. She was personable and friendly and my makeup turned out great and lasted all day without any issues. I'm grateful for Linh for her time and experience!

I highly recommend Linh Artistry for wedding make up or any special occasion. She did my makeup trial for my engagement photo shoot and my wedding day. She was very professional and personable throughout the process and communicated very well. She was prompt with email communications. During the actual time she was applying make up, she engaged me by asking what look I was going for so she could figure out what I wanted and would also tell me what she thought would look good and worked with me so we could create the look I wanted. I trusted her judgement. She did it!
I was going for the soft glamour look and she nailed it! (the hair, the make up...the entire look!). So many of my friends commented how they loved both my engagement photos on display and thought my MUA did a great job and of course on my wedding day I received so many compliments. My sister and I appreciated her skill even more after looking at the wedding photos later. I thought she did a good job on the make up trial and thought she did fantastic on my wedding day. Looking at the photos, I could see as a MUA she understands the layers of make- up appropriate for just sitting for photographs that differ for viewing in person/and photography. She really knows how to use make-up to accentuate your natural beauty. (particularly as an Asian woman I was impressed that she could bring out features with her make-up artistry -for instance making my nasal bridge more prominent in photos). She takes feedback well on the trial and incorporates that on the wedding day.
I wore false eye-lashes (which isn't often, so initially I could feel them. but they were not particularly heavy. For the wedding day I went for something a bit subtler and lighter but you could still see them. The lashes stayed on all evening and the next day even so she did a good job gluing them on. (I removed them after),
For my hair, she had a good idea of how tight to make my curls so they would look soft and loose depending on the time until being photographed which differed for the trial/engagement shoot and my actual wedding day. The curls were soft and lasted the entire wedding into the night. They didn't go flat and I didn't feel my hair was plastered with hair spray. I ended up using hair extensions for the wedding. Although she did not work with that during the trial she really did an amazing job folding it in so it looked natural. She did exactly what I had wanted. I absolutely loved my hair the day of the wedding.
Overall, the make up quality was very good as it lasted over 10 hours. I didn't really need a touch up in the evening for the reception. The make up was suitable for my skin type (which is dry and oily in some areas). I didn't have any reactions after (my face is pretty sensitive) .
The morning of the wedding, she arrived on time. She did my mother's make up and my sister's make up and then my make-up and hair. We did not feel rushed and she stayed on schedule. She is flexible- can travel to your home or you can go to her studio. Overall, I think Linh did an amazing job! She will bring out and highlight your beauty. You will look beautiful! Best decision ever- as these photos will last my lifetime. I greatly appreciated her services. She knows her craft and is highly skilled.

Thank you for such detailed review, Yen. It truly means the world to me to hear about your...
experience with me. I absolutely had a blast getting to to know you and your family.
I am so glad you went with my advice and added on hair extensions. They really made a difference in length and fullness which really shows in all of your photos.

My bridal party and I loved Linh and her assistants! Throughout the process, Linh was very responsive, flexible, and knowledgable. I very much appreciated the hair and makeup trial so I could adjust to exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I cannot praise her and her team highly enough!

Linh is incredibly responsive, flexible and professional. She's been in the business for over 15 years and it shows. This was my first time ever doing hair and makeup and she was incredibly organized, which made me feel really at ease. She sent me calendar invites, skin prep instructions and was available over text to chat about inspiration for makeup and answer my questions. On the day of my wedding she arrived on time and was an incredibly calming presence. She constantly checked in on me and offered suggestions when I wasn't sure what I wanted. And when she realized how much hair I had (which was a lot) she rushed to finish it all on time. The results were amazing! I am so excited to get the profesisonal photos back.

I highly recommend Lihn for your hair and makeup on your wedding day. She is highly professional and knowledgeable. Lihn was my hair and makeup artist this past July for my wedding. My hair and makeup lasted the whole night even though it was very hot (90+ degrees in Livermore, CA that day). My makeup looked so natural. I don't normally wear any makeup and I had never gotten my makeup done professionally before, and so I was very apprehensive about getting my makeup done. Linh is very personable and friendly and she made me feel comfortable with the process. I had a trial about two months before the wedding and I was really glad I had that opportunity since it gave me time afterwards to explore different options and experiment with different colors, etc. On my wedding day, Linh arrived on time and she really listened to me and worked with me to achieve the look that I wanted. I was so pleased and I felt like I wasn't wearing any makeup at all and felt like my authentic self. Linh also did an updo for my 16 year old daughter and bridesmaid. It was a very classic look that also lasted the whole night.

Absolutely made me feel gorgeous on my big day. Communication was amazing, and she was so gentle and took her time in the best of ways. I never felt like my makeup was heavy or too much, and it lasted all day in a July wedding. My hair never cooperates, and despite a ton of sweating, nothing moved, and only my baby hairs started to lose their style. Highly recommend!

I've just had my makeup trial with Linh, and she was very efficient in wanting to know what your style is and helping to elevate you into a beautiful bride look! Make up stayed on all day after a day at the beach for pictures, and hair was still beautiful after 7 hours! Makes me feel confident about the day of!

Linh is so talented and organized! She made me feel beautiful for my wedding. My makeup lasted all day and I didn't have to worry about how I looked in pictures. She was on time and planned out all the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, that's one less thing to stress about!

Honestly the best MUA! I've used her on multiple occasions. Helped me navigate my big day with scheduling that I didn't even have to think about. Make-up stayed on all night! Linh is such a pleasure to work with.

A friend of mine referred me to Linh Artisty since Linh did her makeup for her wedding. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was to hire Linh Artistry for hair and makeup for me and my bridal party!! They were early, showed up with smiles on their faces (even though we started at 4am), and their personalities shined! We loved getting to know each artist as they were very genuine, especially Linh. I chose a soft glam with Hollywood waves and Linh nailed it! Thank you, Linh, for your help!!!
