trial and booked on reviews and off of her work on Instagram. Liz was incredible! So kind and accommodating. We were in a beautiful and peaceful environment and she made us feel so comfortable. Both mine and my mothers makeup looked incredible! She took into account my makeup inspiration pictures and tweaked to my personal preference such as how I prefer certain colors. Beautiful, incredible work. She really made me pop in all of my pictures. If you are eloping or in need of makeup for an event but are out of town and are unable to do a trial, DO IT! I cannot recommend her enough!!

I cannot recommend Liz enough, she’s amazing! I don’t wear full makeup often, but I knew I needed to for our wedding day. I was so concerned with how “heavy” the makeup would feel ...
(which has been a common experience when I’ve been in other weddings) - and Liz’s experience and technique did not disappoint!! My makeup could not have felt more breathable and look absolutely stunning for our wedding day. Her professionalism and ability to make everyone look and feel their very best is beyond what I could have imagined. Liz is so kind and respectful - even when day-of drama inevitably occurred I felt that I had another friend in the room while she was doing my makeup and consoling me on the situation. Also, we went with an additional artist to fit our timeline, and Liz couldn’t have picked a better second artist that also was super nice, professional, and great at her craft. Thank you Liz for such a wonderful bridal experience! :)

ould tell from the time that my mom and I met her to do our trials just how much she cares about her clients and how passionate she is about making you feel beautiful and bringing your vision to life. Both Liz and Rikki did an incredible job with the makeup of all 9 of us girls on the big day. They were both absolute sweethearts and made everyone feel so well heard with what they wanted for their look, and everyone felt very relaxed and at ease in their chairs. They made getting ready so stress-free while also keeping us right on track with where we needed to be scheduling-wise. Despite plenty of happy tears, the makeup also held up so well and was fantastic for photos and videos all day and night. If you are thinking about booking Liz for your wedding, do it! I know I am so, so happy we did!

matched. She did NINE women on my wedding day and she bonded with each and every one of us while elevating our faces to absolute perfection. She even offered to take some of my bridesmaids to our venue because our van was hi-jacked by the groomsmen! Lol! All-around amazing and I couldn't imagine not having her part of our day. She deserves way more than five stars🤍

faces. My mother was absolutely glowing. She did more natural looks but also turned up the glam for those of us who wanted it. They all looked beautiful. She was so easy going and super responsive to feedback from my party. She was so flexible with changing things too depending on the person's wants. Not to mention the fact that we just had so much fun with her. My whole party loved working with her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, talented makeup artist.

At the time I wasn’t even engaged, but I knew as soon as I was, she was my first contact! The whole process was a breeze, from the consult, to my trial run, and then the day of! Having never even seen the rest of my bridal party until wedding day I can honestly say you’d have thought she’d been doing our makeup for years. Not only are our completions, skin textures and styles totally different but so is our taste, and she was easily able to give us all our own look while also making us look like we belonged together! Honestly, we all looked the best we ever have. I can not say enough great things about her! Punctual, laid back but professional, and just overall a great vibe. She was the perfect choice for my day, and anyone who works with her is lucky to do so! 10/10 would recommend to anyone. & will absolutely be using her for any future events!

We did a split ceremony and reception, and while she wasn’t able to do my makeup for the reception she did a session teaching me what to do and I use her expertise and practical help even now in applying my everyday makeup. She is professional, punctual, personal and polished from start to finish. I could not say enough good things about working with her!
