Rosa was very easy to work with, from the trial to the day of my wedding! She was very flexible with me as we were figuring out vendors early on and was able to help connect me to ...
a hairstylist! She fit right in with my family. I would highly recommend her for any event!
I would 100% recommend Rosa to any bride. My sister found her for her wedding in 2019 and I knew at that point I would use her too. She is so professional and knowledgeable. She ar...
rived 15 minutes early and had everything set up and ready for our start time of 9am. She knew I was a little anxious about timing and I requested an assistant about a month before and she was able to pull that off. The assistant helped prep everyone’s skin and did a few make up looks. I had Rosa do airbrush but she does offer traditional as well. I added eyelashes to all girls too. Rosa made my 93yo grandma feel included with light make up and making her not feel too overdone. check out her instagram for looks she has done! @makeup_by_rosaa
Rosa was the perfect makeup artist for my big day! She made myself and all my bridesmaids feel comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend Rosa!
Rosa is the best! I did a hair and makeup trial at her house two months before the big day and I told her what I did not like. She delivered exactly what I wanted on my wedding day...
! I absolutely loved the hair I’ve always dreamed for my wedding and the makeup definitely brightened me up! The communication with her was top notch. One single biggest concern of mine when it comes to wedding vendors is communication, even bigger than their ability to do their job. The impact of lack of communication on your mental wellbeing is nothing you need in prepping a wedding. Rosa absolutely took that stress away. Her products were great, leaving me feeling comfortable throughout the evening. She also left me a touch up packet that was very detail oriented. I would recommend her to all the brides to be!
Rosa was wonderful!! I was so please with the natural looking makeup for our big day! I loved that she was able to recommend someone she works with regularly for hair (Melody), who...
was also amazing!! Everything was flawless, priced well, and flexible for all of the wedding party!
I had 12 people to get ready that morning. Only 9 got makeup and 10 got hair out of the 12, but her and melody were flexible to let them do only one or both services. I was able to add a makeup assistant last minute who was also wonderful and helped up stay on time! I could not have asked for a better glam team for the big day!
Friendly, punctual and professional. She did an awesome job providing makeup service for all models that were present.
Rosa was such a delight to work with during my wedding season. We did my first bridal trial and I (not having enough sense for what I actually wanted, no fault of hers!) requested ...
another trial. Both were incredible, but Rosa truly captured what I pieced together. My make-up looked fresh for the entire wedding day (~12 hours). My two trials and bridal make-up day of were some of the most soothing moments I had during the planning season. She is kind, so personable, and truly cares about her work and art. I would hire Rosa again without any hesitation. Thank you again, Rosa! :)
Rosa was absolutely incredible! She was timely, had the best attitude which made everyone feel comfortable, she was creative, flexible, and she knew what looked amazing on everyon...
e. I come from a bilingual family and some of my guests did not speak English. They were still able to get their dream look because she is JUST THAT GOOD. Rosa uses products of the upmost quality and my makeup lasted my entire night. She made me look so natural and enhanced my features-- the makeup felt light and my look was everything I wanted. I cannot recommend her enough. I have multiple friends who have been asking to book her because of the quality of her work. 100/10 recommend (yes, 100)!!!
We hired Rosa for our wedding to do mine and my bridal party's makeup. She was amazing!! From the start, she was super responsive and organized. She worked with me and was really f...
lexible when it came to booking my bridal trial. She showed up on time, was professional, and her work is amazing! Me and my girls all felt so beautiful and the makeup wore great ALL day (10+ hours). None of us had any issues with eyelashes coming loose or makeup wearing off. We all felt so comfortable!! I would definitely recommend Rosa to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their big day!
Rosa was incredible! She listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, and made sure not to overdue it for those who were naturally light makeup wearers. She was fun to hang around...
with all day and my bridal party absolutely adored her. Thank you Rosa for a wonderful day!
Rosa was an absolutely godsend. I was looking for airbrush , but she does offer both. I am a naturally oily face person so I was truly stressing about my makeup and pictures. She ...
took every step to make sure that I wouldn’t be oily with setting my makeup in several different stages. My husband at the alter during our first kiss gave me a huge hug after smearing my whole face across his coat and only a little of my makeup came off and it still looked amazing for the photos after. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a true artist in her field. 💕
I am so happy that I booked Rosa to do me and my bridal party's makeup on my wedding day! She is so talented and did such a wonderful job really listening to what everyone was look...
ing for and making us all feel so beautiful. Plus, Rosa is just such a lovely person and so much fun to work with - I can't wait for another opportunity to work with her in the future!
I had the opportunity to meet Rosa through multiple recommendations. I can happily say that she’s the best of the best! She’s very professional, and her work is just ART! I highly ...
recommend her, she did the make up for myself (bride), bridesmaids, MOB and we were all pleased with the final results! You won’t regret it, plus she makes the experience very enjoyable.
Rosa did an amazing job for both mine and my brothers wedding. Everyone complimented my makeup and she was so sweet. I plan to use her for any big event I have!
Rosa did my makeup for my wedding, and she was amazing! She was organized, responsive over email, super sweet, and most importantly a skilled MUA. I don't wear really any makeup da...
y-to-day, and when we did the trial, I didn't love the results. But it was NOT her fault at all; her application/technique was wonderful! I just had no clue what I wanted and gave her inspo photos of looks that I ended up not liking on me, didn't feel like myself. I sent her several changes that I wanted for the wedding day (more of a "no makeup" look), and she did everything I asked, and I LOVED my wedding day makeup! It lasted all day and night, through photos outside in the heat, crying at my ceremony, eating, and dancing. My bridesmaids also looked fantastic in their makeup! I highly highly recommend Rosa to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their special event.
Completely understood my idea and what I wanted to look like. Super, super clean and punctual. Everything in her kit looks super neat and organized, amazing quality products.
Her w...
ork is flawless, I felt super pretty and really liked my makeup. Lasted for a really long time (and crying too)
Rosa was perfect for my bridal party makeup!
She showed up on time, asked each and every sister, maid, and mom what types of makeup styles they liked, if the had any allergies, and...
adjusted anything anyone wanted changed (more eyeliner, darker lip, etc). Everyone looked BEAUTIFUL!
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, friendly, works in a timely fashion, as well as professional, Rosa is the makeup artist for your special event! I don’t plan to get married again (haha), but I’d recommend Rosa to any and all of my girlfriends who want to look and feel their best for their wedding!
Makeupbyrosa is nothing short of amazing. I worked with her for my friends PrettyinPink photoshoot and she was amazing! Kind, funny, punctual, flexible and understanding…I mean wha...
t more can you ask for? You can tell she loves what she does and is very skilled. I’d highly recommend. I hope to work with her again sometime soon.
Rosa is the BEST! I’ve never felt so confident in makeup! Her airbrushed work made me look flawless on my wedding day. She is fast to respond to emails and answered all my question...
s. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Rosa is absolutely phenomenal and has my highest recommendation! She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding (plus the hair and makeup of my mother, aunt, and grandmother!) Her ...
skills are quick and flawless, which made the process incredibly smooth and easy. Additionally, she went above and beyond to customize the experience so that our looks would reflect our individuality and preferences. The part that was the icing on top of the cake was simply Rosa's lovely and down-to-Earth personality that helped calm the nerves that we all have on our big day! I cannot be thankful enough for her for playing such an integral role in helping me feel beautiful and radiant at my wedding!
Ladies, either you want to look like an ethereal goddess or a badass queen for your wedding, Rosa's got you covered.
My bridesmaids and I all had a really great experience workin...
g with Rosa. Some of them and I are Asian, and we are used to the softer makeup look (that you can see on kpop/kdrama stars, for example) and Rosa nailed it right on. She also did bolder looks for my bridesmaids who preferred that - overall, everybody was really happy with their makeup. I cried a lot on my wedding (the vows, the toasts, the old friends, lol) and the makeup stayed on too! Also, the hair she did for me was incredible and I didn't want to take it off at the end of the day. You would not regret working with her!
