Makeup by Shelby

ed flawlessly *all day*. Our pictures are stunning and I've never felt so beautiful in my entire life. Words can't express how much it meant knowing that my makeup wasn't melting off, and gave me an incredible amount of confidence throughout the 12+ hour wedding day. I also highly recommend getting a makeup trial. Yes, you have to pay for it, but it's 1000% worth it, especially once you see how skilled she is. She truly cares about bridal makeup and it shows. Shelby was an absolute professional and punctual, and very communicative. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone getting married.

d she is. When I was planning for my original wedding for 10/10/20, I reached out to Shelby (WELL in advance) but sadly she was already booked. Fast forward to peak covid, we made the decision to postpone the wedding to 10/23/21 and the only vendor that wasn't able to accommodate our new date was the MUA I previously hired. I immediately reached out to Shelby for the 2nd time, hopeful that she'd be available for the new date, and she was! I knew it was meant to be so I hired her on the spot before doing my trial. I was an out of town bride so we ended up doing a trial a few months later when I was visiting for the weekend and she made all of my wedding makeup dreams come true. I'm a makeup lover and wanted FULL GLAM for the big day and Shelby delivered 1000%! On top of her extremely talented makeup skills, she is incredibly sweet, has the best energy/so fun to be with and we hit it off instantly. I even decided to do a 2nd trial/glam sesh when I was in town again a couple months before the wedding, just because! Shelby recently opened up her own makeup glam bar/studio Toniq, and we decided to use the studio to get ready on wedding day. It was literally a dream! Toniq is THE most fabulous studio ever and I still can't even believe we had such an amazing location to get ready. We had 9 girls total for both makeup & hair and more than enough space for all of us to glam, and set up breakfast and drinks. Shelby is incredibly accommodating - provided ice, drink coolers, and even surprised us all with babe rosè (which of course we had to use in our getting ready photoshoot)! When we arrived, she already had the music playing and the mood was set for the best glam day ever. Again, it was literally a dream! If you are getting married in San Diego and have the option to get ready at Toniq, I absolutely recommend it. Our getting ready photos are better than I ever imagined and look like they belong in a bridal magazine! Shelby - thank you for everything! Postponing our wedding was challenging, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I'll be forever thankful & grateful to have had you as our MUA. There are simply not enough words to express my gratitude, but I'm so happy I had the chance to work with you and now have so many amazing photos and videos to relive all of the best moments getting glammed with my girls for the big day. These memories will last a lifetime and you truly made me feel like the most beautiful bride (not to mention, my makeup lasted ALL day & night - through A LOT of tears, and endless dancing)! My entire bridal party felt the same about their makeup and we all just love and adore you!

e up trial with her and she great! She was not afraid of feedback as well! She made me so comfortable to be honest in any changes I wanted. On my wedding day she helped me feel so relaxed when doing my hair and make up. She's super chill and easy to talk to. She also helped to do my mom and sister's hair and make up, she did amazing. Look no further and book shelby !

ing her just because she is super glam and I wasn't sure we would have much in common. But I quickly discovered that she is a super sweet, down to Earth, girls' girl whom I felt immediately comfortable with! From the first moments of my trial I knew that she was someone I would love to have in my bridal suite on my big day. Shelby did my make up for the initial trial, my engagement shoot and then my wedding. The process was super fun and collaborative. Shelby is a great listener and awesome at pinpointing exactly what you like, don't like, aren't sure about, etc. and then executing. As I already mentioned briefly, Shelby is a true girls' girl and was such a fun addition to the bridal suite. It's so important to have the right people around you on that day and Shelby's energy was such a fun and positive addition! Shelby made me look and feel like a million bucks and I know my bridesmaids all felt the same! Everyone was glowing and looked incredible! Our make up remained stunning til the party ended at 1 AM and probably would have looked amazing even the next day had I not washed my face. Shelby's assistant Heather also did such a beautiful job on all 3 moms in the wedding which was the one thing I was concerned about since they were all of different ages and mature skin can look cakey with too much make up. Heather didn't weigh down their skin at all, they all looked glowy and beautiful! Shelby is super responsive and professional. She answered all my random questions as I texted her in the months leading up to the wedding and never made me feel like a nuisance. She is truly a joy to work with. I have never felt so glamorous, sexy, confident as I did on my wedding day and I owe a lot of that to Shelby!
