I met Liv when I was in my close friends wedding - she was the hired makeup artist, and I knew I had to book her for mine! After that day Liv and I kept in contact, and when it cam...
e time for my day she sure was booked and busy.
During my makeup trial she discussed every step of the process. One thing that was important to me was that my makeup was glowy and looked like skin, I didn’t want to feel like I had loads of makeup on but also wanted a timeless smoky cut crease eye look for the day - and she did just that. Something that scared me during my process of finding a makeup artist was my skin tone, being mixed with African American and Caucasian it is not always the best skin tone looks. Liv was able to get rid of the fear of mine and color matched my skin exactly without caking on any extra product to make the match.
On the day of my wedding it was so hectic but Liv helped calm me down and keep me laughing. She did my makeup and then ended up re-curling my hair because it had fallen completely from how it was curled in the morning. Liv is a talented makeup artist, amazing friend, and a very good hairstylist when she needs to be haha. I cannot give Liv enough praise for how much she did for me on my wedding day with not only being a makeup/hair artist but by easing my stress and helping me laugh and smile and live in the current moments. My experience with booking Liv was one of the easiest and I wouldn’t book anyone else for my makeup looks. She is definitely a vendor turned close friend!
Liv did my make up for my wedding day in September. Not only was she very professional, but did an amazing job on making me confident & comfortable with my wedding make up. As some...
one who doesn’t wear make up every day, I didn’t want to look “ caked “ on my wedding day. She gave me a more natural look but also made me look very elegant and amazing in pictures. My make up lasted all day, and she gave me an extra bag full of goodies to touch up my make up throughout the night. My bridesmaids also loved their make up, and she was even able to make the flower girls feel involved by adding blush and mascara for them. I definitely would recommend her for anyone’s special day! :)
liv was great to work with! she was more than helpful and was easy to talk to about any changes or tweaks i wanted to make for the day. she made us look flawless, and even provided...
us with products for touch ups throughout the night.
she was very communicative and whenever she got super busy and i was waiting for a reply, she’d let me know she had a bunch going on and would get back to me by whatever date.
and most importantly, she has experience with all skin types and tones, which was super important for me since i had girls in my party with darker complexions. she made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful!
Liv did an amazing job!! She is professional and made my bridesmaids and myself look amazing! I was nervous to wear fake lashes but Liv cut them perfectly and made sure I felt comf...
ortable. She was fun to work with and made me feel relaxed on my special day. She even supplied me with a touch up bag so I could reapply lip gloss or powder throughout the night. I would 100% recommend!
Liv is so talented! She made me & all my bridesmaids feel so beautiful

do my bridal makeup and I’d recommend her over and over again to any bride. She was professional but treated me more like a friend than a client, which was the best feeling ever. Liv is the absolute best!
