Makeup by Nancy

gave her a few ideas of looks I liked, but ultimately let her decide what would look best with my skin tone --and I felt absolutely gorgeous every time. I highly recommend Nancy for your big day.. She is so sweet and really fun to work with. My little sister is getting married in a few weeks and I am SO excited to have Nancy do my makeup again!

s first client back from quarantine and she practiced all safety measures! She was in a mask, splash screen face cover, and wore new gloves in between doing my moms, sister, and my makeup. She had separate brush sets for each of us. She also washed her hands in between doing each of our makeup. Nancy also asked us to wear masks while she worked on our eye makeup. When she moved onto our face we then took the mask off. Nancy was very professional and helped us feel by practicing all safety guidelines. For my makeup trial I scheduled with Nancy on the same day as my engagement photoshoot. I absolutely loved the way my makeup turned out. My skin looked flawless and my eyeshadow was so beautiful. Days leading up to my wedding I was worried due to regulations that I wouldn’t be able to have my makeup done professionally. Thankfully restrictions lifted and Nancy was able to do my makeup. My wedding day makeup completed my look. I felt like the beautiful bride I’ve always dreamt of being :) My mom and my sisters makeup was so beautiful as well! I highly recommend Nancy!

e! On the wedding day, I showed her a few pictures but ultimately told her to do her thing (since she’s amazing), and it couldn’t have turned out better!!! She made me feel like a true bride! I wish I lived in Cali to use her all the time! She’s definitely worth your investment.

y booked my wedding around her availability. Nancy made me feel and look like the most beautiful bride in the world. She’s very professional, attention to detail and her customer service is always amazing. Not only was I very pleased with my outcome but my bridesmaids were amazed with their make up as well, which made me really happy to know that everyone was so satisfied with her work. The last thing you need on your wedding day is not feeling pretty and trust me that’s the last thing you will feel with Nancy services, so without hesitation please book my girl Nancy for wedding or non wedding services. She truly is the best makeup artist. Thank you Nancy

chair. Nancy is so professional but she also connected with everyone on a personal level, it was such a wonderful start to the day. I felt so special and beautiful on my day. I highly recommend Nancy she is so kind, professional and talented!!!

ancy and I am so so glad I did. From the initial communication, working with Nancy was a breeze. On our trial day she was so sweet and knowledgeable and did a great job helping me reach the look I wanted. I decided after our trial to go a completely different route with our look and Nancy was eager to help me make adjustments as needed to go for a completely different style and was so accommodating with everything leading up to the big day. On my wedding day Nancy and her assistant had a total of 9 women to perform magic on and they knocked it out of the park on every single one! One of my bridesmaids has been in like 100 weddings (seriously there could be a movie about this social butterfly and her bridesmaid experience) and said that without a shadow of a doubt it was the best makeup job she’s ever had. And me? This picky overthinking bride felt incredible. She not only met but far exceeded my expectations for my wedding day look and she was SO much fun to have around while she did it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nancy to literally anyone. I am already finding excuses to book her to do my makeup again. Seriously, book her. You won’t regret it.

myself I had a certain look I wanted to achieve since I am someone who rarely wears makeup. I used the #sandiegoweddingmakeup hashtag, and came across Nancy's Instagram. I searched through the many photos, and I loved what I saw. I noticed that her work was multi-dimensional, and she had the talent to achieve a variety of looks. If I remember correctly, I booked her fairly last minute for our engagement session. The booking process was easy with her, and I really enjoyed the time getting to know her. It is so important to vibe with your wedding vendors because you spend the most important day with them. She listened to me as I explained the variety of things I did and did not like, showed her photos, and she checked in with me throughout the entire process to see if what we were doing was too much, too little, etc. We went for a brown smokey eye matte look for my engagement photos, and I loved it. It looked gorgeous in the photos, and I was so appreciative. Fast forward to my bridal shower, I wanted to get my makeup done for the bridal shower, and because I was doing photos with my (then) fiance, and pup. I wanted something different than last time, and wanted to do a little more sparkle for eyeshadow. She remembered what I did and did not like from our last session, and we accomplished a different look, and I loved it. I knew that was going to be the look for our wedding. I received so many compliments from family and friends at my bridal shower that my makeup made me still look like me, which is so important. On our wedding day, Nancy was simply wonderful. I enjoyed her presence, and having her there was like having an old friend there for your big day. She did a wonderful job on all of my bridesmaids, and family members. She and her assistant listened to what everyone wanted, and everyone looked amazing. She re-created the look from our last session together, and I absolutely loved my wedding day makeup. It was the most beautiful I have ever felt. If you want someone who is professional, courteous, kind, talented, listens, and has a personality that makes you feel like you are with one of your friends, then Nancy is your girl. Thank you Nancy for everything. I am truly so appreciative of you, and your talent!

ire wedding party was so impressed with her level of skill.. Our makeup could have lasted till the next morning!! She is so incredibly sweet, fun to talk to, and so comfortable to sit with. She eased my peace of mind before walking down the aisle and for that I am grateful. If you are looking for a top notch MUA that exceeds all expectations, Nancy is your girl!

s just a pure joy to be around. She far exceeded my expectations and she did make up for my sister, my three bridesmaids, and myself. We were on time the entire way and we had fun chatting and listening to music with her. Nancy, thank you for making my feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day. I will be using Nancy as my go to make up artist for any special occasion and will be referring her to everyone I know.

n I have made. Nancy did my bridesmaids and my mom's makeup. She is on time, professional and SUCH a joy to be around. She is easy going and will work hard to create your wedding day look. Nancy made me feel so beautiful the day of my wedding. My makeup lasted ALL night long. I have oily skin and was afraid it would wear off. NOPE! Not with Nancy's expertise. I am of asian descent and I was afraid of other people doing my makeup just because my eyelids are hard to put eye shadow on because of their shape. Nancy can literally do anyone's makeup no mater what shape, color or size and will make you feel beautiful. One of my bridesmaids told me she hasn't felt this beautiful in a long time! I wanted to cry because of how perfect my makeup was! I cannot thank Nancy enough.

She did an incredible job and the makeup was so beautiful. She was so sweet and added to the day. She also really made my sister feel special as maid-of-honor giving her a little extra. Makeup was still on at the end of the night and looking gorgeous for all photos. I would highly recommend her for any occasion. Thank you Nancy!

day of my wedding she came to my house and did my makeup and some of my bridesmaids as well. All of the girls loved it as well. I kept getting so many compliments from our guests on my makeup. I really do recommend her, she’s amazing at what she does!

ortant but is so fun to talk with and really made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend!!!

overheard her talking with the bridesmaids and making sure they had the perfect look they wanted. Once it was my turn, I said "glam it up!" I showed her some photos I liked, she smiled and said she had the perfect look in mind for me. Once I saw the final image I was in complete awe! I looked and felt like a princess! We received so many compliments - all thanks to Nancy. If you are in the San Diego, you have to check out Makeup by Nancy.

After telling her this, she was so incredibly sweet, and emphasized that her overall goal was to make sure that I didn't only feel pretty on my wedding day, but more importantly that I felt comfortable. So we did another trial, with suggestions from her that ended up aligning more with my everyday-makeup look rather than over-the-top wedding day looks, and she NAILED IT!! I was blown away with how gorgeous she made me look, and more importantly feel, on my big day, and am so thankful to her for putting in the time and effort to make me feel that way. She did my mom and sister's makeup, and they both looked amazing, especially my mom, who looked STUNNING! For San Diego wedding day makeup, Nancy is absolutely the way to go!! Thanks for everything Nancy!!

was so excited that she was even available on my big day. I knew I was in good hands and had one less thing to stress about. She listened to my ideas of what type of look I was going for and did a great job making me look natural with makeup. My skin looked absolutely FLAWLESS. She is a true professional with great taste and style. Nancy even helped my mom with her eyelashes! I received many compliments and my sister loved my makeup so much she used Nancy for her engament photos and bridal shower. Nancy is a must and you will not be disappointed.

ryone has been more than happy!

smaids look and feel beautiful. She has the magic touch. Her attention to detail brought out my best features, so I felt extra pretty that day. And it shows in all the wedding pictures. I highly recommend Nancy!

our natural beauty without looking over done. I'm very particular on how my eye makeup is done and she knew exactly what to do, she seriously made me look stunning...like I said I got compliments the whole night. All I know is that I'm SO thankful I found her, now anytime I go out I will be calling her to do my makeup. Thank you Nancy, your the best, and thank you for being on time too!!

I did on that special day. She was expert in her application, clean and gave me exactly what I wanted. I have no doubt that she is an artist with a brush, strokes of genius and beauty. You will not regret using her.
