I have known Sheila for almost 10 years and she always does a FABULOUS job. I booked her and her team for my wedding and she not only made me look/feel beautiful but is professional and a pleasure to be around. Her team was punctual, kind, and talented - all of my bridesmaids and mothers looked amazing! She gave us touch-up kits and came with me to the venue to ensure I looked my best going into the ceremony.
Her team can help you determine what style of H&M works best with your dress/look, but they also take your input and preferences into account. It's a great balance of professionalism and courtesy. Run don't walk to book Sheila for your H&M!!

From the moment I met Sheila, I knew I was in good hands. Her warm and calming demeanor instantly put me at ease. When it came to my wedding day, she truly exceeded all expectations.
Sheila has an incredible talent for creating looks that are both timeless, classic and glamorous. My makeup was flawless, and it stayed perfect from the start of the day until the very end. I felt like a bride, and I received countless compliments on both my hair and my makeup.
Beyond her technical skills, Sheila is a joy to work with. She listened carefully to my vision and brought it to life. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she truly cares about making her clients feel loved and beautiful.
I wholeheartedly recommend Sheila & her team to any bride-to-be. She is not just a makeup artist; she's a dream come true! She is worth every penny and is an expert at what she does.
Thank you, Sheila, for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my special day!

I highly recommend Sheila!
Since first contacting her to ask if she could do my makeup for my wedding day, she has been incredibly helpful, supportive and friendly. She is extremely knowledgable in her field and she will always go out of her way to help and give that extra touch to her service. When doing my makeup, Shelia makes me feel calm, and I love her energy and passion. My husband’s response when he first seen me is unforgettable. He said “ now I understand why you booked our wedding around her schedule. You are always beautiful, but your hair and makeup today leave me breathless!” Yes I cried happy tears.
Shelia not only helped me on my special day but also has done both of my daughters make up on several occasions competing in pageants.
Do yourself a favor and book her for an unforgettable experience!

Sheila is the best in the business. I wish I could get her to do my hair and makeup for all special occasions! She made everyone look like a million bucks! Not only is she incredible at her job, but she's a great person! I thoroughly enjoyed every second I was in her chair! Her assistant, Dolly, is amazing as well! The other ladies that came to the house to do the bridesmaid's hair and makeup were wonderful. By the time they were done, I didn't want them to leave because they were so lovely to talk to! My makeup stayed all night! I cried the entire wedding mass, and my makeup still looked amazing! You can't find anyone better than Sheila!

Sheila is hands down the best hair and makeup artist there is. Coming from someone who has had professional glam multiple times, it doesn’t get better than Sheila. She did my makeup for my rehearsal dinner & mine and my mothers makeup for my baby shower (the baby I got pregnant with after she did my makeup the first time!!!).. just be careful, your husbands might like your makeup a little too much!
She made my mom, who doesn’t wear any makeup, feel stunning and comfortable through the whole experience. She can do it all!

Sheila did my hair and makeup last year on my wedding day as well as my mother's, and her team of extraordinary ladies did all of my bridesmaids' hair and makeup - they were a DREAM team!! Not only is Sheila exceptionally talented, she is extremely warm, genuine, kind hearted and compassionate, as are all of her girls. She has built an amazing team and Dolly was also great to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend Sheila and hope to have the pleasure to cross paths again in the future. I don't know who else would have been able to do my hair and makeup like she did with me lying down on the floor due to excruciating post surgical back pain. Thank you so much Sheila, I am forever grateful!

I have been working with Sheila several times over the last year in preparation for my destination wedding. I took both traditional and airbrush lessons from her. I had a trial with a local makeup artist in Mexico. However, I felt more confidant doing my own wedding makeup thanks to the skills Sheila taught me! She is an amazing teacher, and records everything so you can re-watch. She also did my hair and makeup for my bridal portraits in Houston. She was able to perfectly recreate my hair inspo photo. The hair and makeup were just flawless! I felt like the best version of myself, and couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. She is the absolute best!!

Sheila is truly the BEST! She has been doing my makeup for 10 years from pageants to special occasions! I came in to get my hair and makeup done for my Christmas party and little did I know I was getting ENGAGED!! She knew and of course she created the most timeless look and by far one of my favorites we have done yet! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Sheila truly kills it every time! Can’t wait for her to be apart of this journey with me. There isn’t another makeup artist I would book for my wedding day or for all the photoshoots and events to come in between!

Sheila is THE BEST. She did my hair and makeup for a friend's wedding back in 2017, and I knew I had to book her for my wedding as she was the only person who has truly made me feel pretty as a bridesmaid. Needless to say, she did that and so much more on my wedding day. I can't recommend her services enough - 10/10 without a doubt. And, the best part about booking Sheila is that you won't have to worry about micromanaging how she does your hair and makeup because you'll have zero doubt that she'll make you look stunning!

Shelia and her team were wonderful!
My daughter is very picky about her makeup and hair she was so happy with her hair and makeup for her wedding and so was I . Sheila was there before we got to the venue so professional .
Her team was the same all the bride-maid said it was the best hair and make up they ever had.
That’s saying a lot they have been in many wedding this year . If you want the best then book them.

Sheila was the first vendor my daughter booked after picking her venue. She was absolutely a dream to work with - she did my daughters makeup for her bridal portraits as well as day of wedding for the whole bridal party. One of her artists was sick day of the wedding and we had a lot of bridesmaids - you never would have known. Sheila was so professional, got us all taken care of without feeling rushed. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup. Sheila is such a sweet soul too - she makes you feel so beautiful, inside and out.

I've known about Sheila for years. She's done a ton of my friends weddings as well as my little sister's wedding. When I got engaged she was the first vendor I hired because I know she's constantly booked! I kid you not, I would have moved my wedding date in order to have her do my hair and makeup. In total she did all 11 of my bridesmaids, me (the bride), my mom and mother in law. She brought her whole crew and, of course, they killed it. These ladies don't miss a beat or mess up. They make you look like yourself and Miss America at the same time. I never felt more beautiful! She comes at the highest recommendation i could give.

Shelia did a FANTASTIC job for my sisters wedding, I was the first one of the bunch to get my hair and makeup done by Sheila at 6:30 in the morning and let me tell you it was amazing and last all day! From golf carting around the venue to living it up on the dance floor my hair and make up still looked incredible at 3am! She has such a calming voice while doing your make up and I wish she could do my make up every day. I have been in 8 weddings and by the middle of the reception I look like a hot mess but that was not the case with MakeupByShelia she makes you look beautiful and makes it last for the whole event. I will recommend Shelia to everyone in my life. All I did was show Shelia my dress and she made me feel like a queen!

I had a great time working with you and you had such a wonderful attitude waking up at 6 AM in the morning! It’s usually never fun being the first bridesmaid but you were such a joy in the morning! I only wish to have that much excitement when I wake up in the morning one day!
You looked stunning and maybe one day I’ll get to get you ready for your wedding… Congratulations on your sisters wedding

Sheila did a fantastic job not only on my hair and makeup, but her work was perfect for all of my friends and my mother-in-law. We are all quite picky, and we have very different styles. A few of us like over-the-top glam, and others love a natural look which she can accomplish while highlighting our features rather than masking our face. Hands down the best makeup artist for any bride!

This was the best decision I made for my wedding. About 8-9 months before our wedding date, I took makeup lessons with Sheila since I did my own hair and makeup for the wedding day. Not only are her products AMAZING, she truly has a gift for teaching. I applied everything I learned for bridal showers, bachelorette party, and engagement photos. Sheila provided feedback throughout the year so I could perfect my makeup for wedding day. I’m so thankful for her and I’ve never felt so confident in my ability to do my own makeup. I cannot recommend hiring Sheila enough for your wedding day or doing lessons with her prior. It was truly the best wedding investment!!

Shelia is the best of the best and is renowned in the pageant, professional dance/cheerleading, and wedding world for her hair and makeup expertise. I first had experience with her in 2015 for Houston Texans Cheerleading tryouts. I know the look she gave me was a factor in helping me make the team! Many of my friends have used her for their weddings and events. Recently, I used her for my bridal portraits and wedding day! I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale/translucent skin. I was wearing my Grandmother’s wedding dress (and my mother wore it also) which was designed and worn in 1949 after Queen Elizabeth’s wedding gown. I also was wearing the original beaded head piece that my grandmother wore. I wanted a classic, elegant, regal look and Shelia went above and beyond my vision. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day. She was able to contort my 80-year-old headpiece to fit perfectly on my head while managing to put ample extensions in my hair for the princess look. She also did my sisters’ and mothers’ H&M for a great package deal which allowed me to relax and trust that they would all have their hair and makeup done perfectly. Your wedding is only one day, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to make your look perfect except for her!

Sheila was amazing at my wedding! She took my ideas for my hair and makeup and made them 10 times better. I felt so beautiful! And I will never forget the look on my husband’s face when he first saw me walking up the aisle to him. He literally looked at me and said, “Oh Wow!”. And it’s not just her artistry, it’s her knowledge and natural leadership. She gave me the best advice and was so kind and sincere. She is truly one in a million. If you get a chance to work with her take it! You won’t regret it!

Sheila is HANDS DOWN the Queen of hair and makeup!!!!!!! Don’t even think twice about any other makeup artist for your special event. I went to SIX trials and left so unhappy every single time. Sheila has the skills to give you anything from a soft and natural look, to full on GLAM (which was the look I was going for) she’s so easy to talk to and a pro at her craft. It’s very hard to find someone who’s both an amazing makeup artist, and has an amazing personality. Sheila has both!!!! I couldn’t be happier with the way my hair and makeup came out for my bridals and I kept getting compliments all day/night!!!!

Hiring MakeupBySheila and her team for my bridals and wedding day was the best decision I’ve made. Myself, my bridal party and the mothers looked absolutely flawless the entire night. Everyone felt so beautiful after Sheila and her team worked their magic. My hair and makeup did not budge the entire night even after dancing the night away! I will now be booking Sheila for any event or family photos I have because I felt so pretty when she was done with me! If you are questioning wether to hire Sheila and her team or not, just do it!! You will not regret it.

Sheila is a miracle worker! I hired her for a virtual makeup lesson so I'd be able to do my own for my wedding. She taught me so much about makeup and was a wonderful teacher!
On my wedding morning I woke up to a horrible allergic reaction and my entire face was broken out in hives. Luckily Sheila already had taught me how to cover redness with her makeup. HER MAKEUP AND LESSON SAVED MY DAY! My makeup turned out wonderful and no one could tell! SO glad I got a lesson from her and now I'm hooked on her makeup too! Hurry and book her for your next big event bc you won't regret it!

Using Makeup by Sheila was one of the best choices I made when planning my wedding! Her and her team were absolutely amazing and made me and my girls feel so beautiful. I used Sheila for my engagement photos, bridals, and my wedding and she never disappointed! Not only is she so talented, but she was so sweet and genuine. If you are shopping around for make up artists, just stop and use Sheila! You will be so glad you did! Thank you Sheila! You’re the best!

If you’re reading this, then you’re most likely thinking about hiring Makeup by Sheila & I’m here to tell you that you 1000% NEED TO!!!! I hired Sheila to do HMU for my wedding in February 2021 & I have absolutely no regrets or complaints. I already knew how amazing Sheila & her team is from my brother’s wedding & to me, hair & makeup was extremely important for my wedding day so, out of all our wedding vendors, Makeup by Sheila was the easiest decision!! Sheila & her assistants are beyond amazing at what they do & they are seriously so sweet and so fun to work with – including Dolly, she helped me with everything up until wedding day & was always so patient, so sweet & so easy to communicate with! All my bridesmaids had only makeup done by Sheila’s team & they all absolutely loved it! MOB, MOG, & both of our grandmas had both H&MU services by Sheila/her team & they all looked at least 15 yrs younger!! When Sheila finished my HMU, I kept telling her “I love it so much!! I want to marry myself!!!” Lol but seriously, even after crying all afternoon & dancing all evening, we all still looked flawless – our hair never fell & our makeup literally never streaked/smeared! I highly recommend Makeup by Sheila!!! <3

When I began wedding planning over two years ago, Sheila was my first call to check for availability. I’d worked with Sheila many times before for pageants, and I knew that she would turn my dream look into a reality on my special day... but the truth is... she did so much more than that. Not only did Sheila make me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, but her kindness and hospitable demeanor helped calm my butterfly’s and brought even more joy to the best day of my life. I’ll never feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and I have Sheila to thank for that. If you have a vision for your day and want to ensure that you hire an artist with years of experience, a high-standard of professionalism, a kind heart and unmet talent, I HIGHLY recommend Makeup by Sheila 🤍

I had the honor of a makeup lesson with Sheila in Dec 2020 and had the best time! She taught me how to paint my face to take best advantage of my face shape, cheekbones, and unique angles, etc. Her warmth and sunny disposition make you feel immediately at ease! The lesson includes ALL makeup, a face chart and video instructions so you can practice re-creating the look! I’ve loved getting to paint my own face Sheila-style! :)

Sheila did absolutely amazing on my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures and engagement party. She is so sweet to work with and even was sharing tips for makeup for my specific facial features. I am grateful for her artistry and knowledge, my pictures are beautiful! Her work definitely exceeded my expectations, not only did I look flawless for my pictures in the first part of the day (my appointment was 7-9am), I still looked flawless and fresh at my party that night at 7pm! She is the best and I am so grateful, after years of watching her work online, I was able to book with her for my event!

I can't say enough good things about Sheila! There are no words that can articulate just how good she truly is!! I previously had my makeup done by Sheila when I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and have known since that moment that I wanted to use her when my wedding came. My planner asked what my "passion points" were and I responded immediately with, "Sheila!". I planned my date around her and it was the best decision I could have made. She did my makeup for my engagements, bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner and wedding and it was FLAWLESS every time! All of my bridesmaids did hair and makeup and Sheila and her team made everyone look like models! She even made the MOB and MOG look 20 years younger and had them feeling the most confident they had ever felt. Hands down the best in the business! I couldn't have asked for a better artist/person to share this experience with. I will continue to use Sheila for any future life events!

It was such a fun bridal party! thank you for trusting me to be a part of all of your activities for your wedding and I loved creating all those different looks for you! of course my favorite was the big huge GLAM ponytail... for your rehearsals... by the way now everybody keeps showing me that picture telling me that they want that ponytail :)!
I look forward to working with you guys in the future again. Again thank you so much for letting me be a part of such a special day in your life. Sheila

Sheila is amazing!! She did my make up for my bridal portraits & my wedding and did such an amazing job!! I don’t wear make up and was scared to at first, but Sheila made me look so gorgeous and comfortable during the entire process. 😭❤️ She has a lot of patience and I would recommend her anytime!! Thank you Sheila for not making me feel like a kid wearing make up! You made me looks like a gorgeous bride! ❤️

Sheila is absolutely the best makeup artist in Houston! I knew I wanted Sheila to do my wedding makeup. I have been following her work for years and love her work! I am so thankful that she was able to get me in at a time slot that usually is super busy for her. Everyone complimented how good I looked all night! The makeup and hair stayed in place for my September outdoor wedding In the Houston heat which says a lot. I will definitely be back perhaps for a lesson or two.

WOW!! I had Sheila do my makeup for a trail run for my wedding and I felt absolutely gorgeous. My airbrushed makeup was perfect and lasted all day and night, my hair was beautifully curled, and Sheila managed to make me beautiful in under 2hr. She is so professional, punctual, honest and knows EXACTLY what she is doing!! I have hired her and her team for my wedding in May and after all my bridesmaids had seen my makeup EVERY one of them has decided to do both MUAH! Thank you for everything , I can’t wait to feel like a queen on my actual wedding day!!💖

The BEST makeup artist I've ever used. Me and my bridal party got so many compliments at my wedding this past weekend (9/5/20). Sheila was amazing to work with through the entire process. She made everyone of us girls feel absolutely stunning, I've literally never felt so pretty in my life. She is so kind and understanding. I would 10 out of 10 recommend Sheila every time.

Sheila is an absolute rockstar! Before I decided on a wedding date I emailed to confirm she was available!
Makeup By Sheila is 100% worth it if you want to look and feel like a queen on your wedding day. She can work magic by making you look and feel so glamorous yet you still feel like yourself and don’t feel like you have a lot of makeup on. I had an outdoor wedding (in humid Texas) and was on the dance floor the entire night and my makeup was still perfect at the end of the night! Easy to work with and the only person I recommend to all my friends becoming brides!

Wow !! What an amazing review. I had so much fun hanging out with you guys for the wedding...

Hands down the best! Sheila did my hair and makeup for my engagements, bridals and the big day. I think my favorite part was watching my mom and mother in law become transformed into goddesses....seriously! They still to this day talk about how beautiful they felt! She is an absolute professional and worth every penny, if you are nervous about splurging, take that leap. I would do it all over again to have her turn me into the bride I had always dreamed of being. Thank you Sheila for being so sweet and being a part of my wedding day!

If you want to look like an absolute GODDESS for your wedding or any other kind of photoshoot or event, you HAVE to get your makeup and hair done with Sheila. She's the best around!! Just a few before and after pictures form her Instagram completely convinced me that I had to have her for my wedding, regardless of the price. She's amazing at what she does and so patient and kind while doing it! Cannot praise her enough!

Sheila is truly the best! She was one of the first vendors I booked when planning my wedding and I would do it all over again! She made my mom, my bridesmaids, and I feel beyond beautiful and she was so much fun to be around as we got dressed! She stuck around and perfected us all right before the ceremony, and I STILL have people talking about not only my makeup, but my hair as well! She is truly so talented at both hair and makeup, and took the stress of “getting ready” out of the day! Couldn’t have asked for more from her!
