Lorena and her team were absolutely amazing! I had bridesmaids with varying hair textures and she was able to accommodate and make everyone look and feel beautiful! Not to mention, they were so much fun! They brought a great energy to start off my wedding day and I cannot recommend her enough!
I am delighted to offer my highest recommendation for the exceptionally talented makeup artist, Lorena Soto, whose artistry graced my wedding day and that of my entire bridal party. From the moment she began her work, it was evident that her skill and passion for her craft were unparalleled. Under her expert hands, I felt not only stunning but truly radiant, a sentiment echoed by the multitude of compliments I received throughout the day.
The true testament to Lorena's mastery lies in the timeless elegance captured in my wedding photos, where every detail of her work shone with perfection. Beyond her technical proficiency, Lorena possesses a rare ability to understand and enhance her clients' natural beauty, ensuring a look that is both flawless and uniquely tailored to each individual.
With utmost confidence, I affirm that Lorena Soto is not merely a makeup artist but a true artist in every sense of the word. Should I ever require makeup services again, whether for another special occasion or a simple touch of glamour, Lorena will unquestionably be my first choice.
Lorena and Hannah made our entire hair/makeup experience the best it can be. They are knowledgable, down to experiment, caring, fun individuals. They are an amazing team, as well. For two brides who wanted something a little more colorful and a lot more sparkly than the average bridal look, nothing was too crazy or wild for them. My wife and I felt heard, seen, and absolutely amazing with our final wedding looks. Our bridal parties were also extremely pleased with their looks and overall experience. Getting ready with Lorena and Hannah was an unforgettable experience!

Lorena was a a god sent on my special day. She communicated and checked in with me the whole time. If I was concerned she listened and addressed my concerns. I have never felt more beautiful and confident. Will definitely be recommending her to any friends and family.

Oh my goodness, Amy, I am so grateful for you and honored to receive such beautiful words by you! Thank you so so much for putting your trust in me. I’m so happy we got to work together!!
Lorena is an absolute fairy godmother! She really listened to what I wanted and made sure to check in with me throughout the whole process. I have never felt more beautiful or special. Will definitely be recommending her to all of my friends.
I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who could do my eyeliner right.. but this lovely queen did it PERFECT. My makeup anddd hair was on point and lasted so long without any touch ups! Highly encourage you to book!

Thank you so much! I’m so so glad I could get you glammed up and get your eyeliner perfect for YOU. You deserve to feel absolutely beautiful!
Lorena was a fantastic hair and makeup artist for my wedding! I don't typically wear makeup, and Lorena was super helpful in making my vision come true for our special day. The HMU trial was super helpful to connect and chat about what I was looking for. She was flexible as I continued to figure out what I wanted to do (veil/no veil, hair down/half up). On the day of, she and Kim did the HMU for myself, maid of honor and mothers. They were support and caring for each person's individual needs, and did a wonderful job. Highly recommend!
Claire did my wedding hair and was such a pleasure to work with. She was easy to talk to and was so focused on making sure my hair was perfect. Such a great experience and my hair was gorgeous!!
Lorena is an absolute gem! Her work is gorgeous and she is so wonderful to work with. She has such a talent for what she does and she was able to make my vision for my hair come to life. I highly recommend her for any hair and makeup needs!
Absolutely loved working with Lorena and Kim for my wedding. They were so sweet, professional and ready to make everyone beautiful! I highly recommend Lorena for both hair and makeup
Lorena completely saved and made our wedding day possible! My wife and I had to change our plans due to COVID-19 and decided to elope on a small island just the two of us. Lorena made both of us feel beautiful, confident, and gave us our dream wedding looks. She is so kind, full of laughter, and just fun to be around! It was great to have her there on our day and I'm so incredibly thankful for all of her support.
Lorena also did a make-up/hair trial with us that made us feel special and so cared for! It's clear that she puts her heart into everything she does and we feel lucky to call her friend now.
We're definitely booking Lorena for our in-person celebration next year and for any other occasion we can think of!
I absolutely love Lorena! Not only is she super professional and responsive she is the sweetest. I had a hard time getting responses from other vendors or if I did it was super generic and all about the cost. She responded right away and really took the time to understand what I was looking for and wanted. We all feel vulnerable when we are putting our appearance in someone else’s hands. Lorena makes sure you are comfortable and satisfied with the service she provides. I won’t go to anyone else but Lorena from now on :)

Thank you so much for putting your trust in me Kim! I'm so honored to have been there for you and I'm so happy you loved the outcome! You are such a treasure!
Lorena is amazing! She is super responsive when you reach out to her, and is so sweet! She is super attentive to what the bride wants! One of my favorite things is that she messaged me the night before to wish me a good nights sleep and confirm that she would see me the next day!

Nicole, you were a GEM to work with! I loved hanging with you, your mom and bridal party! (And your sweet doggie Annie at your trial!!) Thank you for your sweet review, I appreciate it so much!
Lorena was absolutely amazing! She made me feel very comfortable and was very professional for my wedding. She is reliable and was helpful in how to take care of my skin leading up to the days of my wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure I looked amazing for my big day and took into consideration everything I asked for! She was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend her for any event!

Lidia, you were such a sweetheart to work with! I loved hanging with you and being there for you on your special day! Thank you for such kind words — I hope to see you again soon!
I was incredibly impressed with Lorena and her work. She was so lovely to coordinate with, she was communicative and went above and beyond to make the day special. She instantly made me feel comfortable and was so sweet.I LOVED the makeup, she absolutely nailed the looks! There were numerous glitches in the scheduling day-of and she rolled with everything and somehow was able to accommodate and still have everyone looking and feeling amazing. I can't recommend her enough!
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2019
Aww, thank you so much Claire! You are so kind and your words truly reflect the reasons why I do what I do! Thank you!!
Lorena helped me come up with a makeup plan for my elopement in Iceland. She taught me how to apply my makeup for two different looks and it turned out perfect. She taught me about all the differences in the makeups she was using and what would be best for the weather and all the different variables involved. I can't say enough good things about Lorena and her professionalism and knowledge.
Response from the Vendor on 02/25/2019
Thank you for your review! I’m so glad I could assist you with your makeup visions. You executed them perfectly (as I knew you would) and your photos turned out BEAUTIFUL!
Lorena was phenomenal! Her professionalism and warm personality made it such a joy to work with! She really listened to what I wanted...I am very particular when it comes to my own makeup and I was a bit skeptical about having my makeup done at first, but I’m so glad I did! She did a great job! Thank you Lorena!
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2019
Thank you so much for your review! I’m glad I could make you feel comfortable and give you the look you desired. You’re amazing to work with!
Lorena was a complete joy to work with! From the initial meeting to discuss details, bridal makeup consultation, emailing back and forth during the planning process, all the way through my wedding day - Lorena was SO sweet, professional, informative, flexible, knowledgeable, and skilled at what she does! I really didn't have a vision going in to my wedding day makeup, but Lorena took the little bit I gave her and went with it and I couldn't have felt more beautiful on my wedding day! I was so impressed that my makeup didn't need touched up all day/night long, even with encountering rain and dancing all night long. Lorena also did the make up of several of my bridesmaids and my mother-in-law and she made each and every one of us feel so comfortable and gorgeous in our own skin!

ould help you complete your vision for your wedding day look.
She is honestly just the best person to talk to. She cared a lot about my request and she always gave me options, so that she can achieve the best look for me. She is so funny and when I met her it was like we were friends already; a very comfortable setting. Her work on my face had way exceeded my expectations and I would definitely go to her for any future makeup appointments.

I’m so glad we got to meet and can’t wait to see you for your next occasion! You are so kind and so I funny too, I love how we instantly could connect and crack up together! Thank you for your sweet review of me and I hope to see you soon!
Lorena is so creative and professional. She listens to your vision and really makes it come to life. She was punctual and kept in constant communication to ease any sort of anxiety around the day. (She even handled my mom so you know it’s good!)

Samantha, you are so sweet! I loved your theme - anything Disney, and you got me! I’m glad I was able to be able to help you stay relaxed and enjoyed working on your mom and chatting with her.
Talented and professional, flexible, sweet, and fun to work with. Did our whole wedding party and everyone looked amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2018
Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved hanging out with you and all the girls!
I only wish that i would have known about Lorena when i got married! I recently was a bridesmaid in a wedding and she was hired by the bride to do her makeup and anyone else who wanted to have theirs done. I’m not what they would call gifted in the application of makeup so anytime there is someone else who can do it, i don’t hesitate! Lorena was so much fun! I almost felt like she was one of our friends helping us get ready instead of a complete stranger. She did a absolutely beautiful job on the bride. And while i don’t know what her consultation was like with the bride, i really felt like she heard me as a bridesmaid (my flaws, likes and dislikes) and made me feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt! On top of that, i never had to reapply makeup the whole night! (And let me tell you, I’m a big dancer ;) ) anyways, i really loved her work, attitude and overall presence during the day. I will not think twice before recommending her to another friend!!!

Beauty is my passion! From the first time I was ever asked to do makeup, I dreamed of what it would be like to make it my career. Years later, I was working for a variety of occasions and decided to make it my full-time job as a makeup artist specializing in weddings! I have such a special place in my heart for weddings and I love being a part of such a magical day. I'm honored to be one of the people that gets you to relax, have fun and, most importantly, feel beautiful for a day you’re going to remember for the rest of your life. If I'm not working, I'm spending time with my son!
