Makeup by Tara Matos

and kind. Would absolutely recommend. 10/10❤️

ng. They also answered my questions and were accommodating when I wanted to make changes after the trial. I am so glad I had both these women as a part of my wedding!

d and that this review informs someone’s decision. Tara did a great job on my trial makeup. However on the day of my wedding she did something completely different that looked awful. She put giant caterpillar lashes on me even though I expressed to her at my trial I didn’t want them. The day of my wedding when I asked her why she put different ones on when they were not the same as my trial she told me my eye could ‘handle it.’ They immediately started coming off after about an hour and a half. They were awful. She also told me she was going to brighten my lid up a bit with gold then proceeded to just do a totally different eye. I know she’s a talented makeup artist but she just genuinely just didn’t seem interested in trying to recreate a nice look I was comfortable with on my wedding day. She was late finishing up and finished my hair and make up approximately 15 minutes before I was supposed to leave and accordingly there was no time to fix anything. My hair was just bad. While I think, as I said above, that she has the ability to be a good makeup artist, she simply is not a hairstylist. My hair was so bad I pulled it out before I walked down the aisle. When I told her afterwards that I was unhappy with it she told me the style I picked (a simple low bun) was matronly and dated. This is the same style that when I suggested it she loved and said she could easily recreate. Had Tara been professional when I expressed my concerns to her after the wedding I would at least feel a little better. But instead she told me that I should have hired a wedding planner and never even bothered to suggest refunding something as simple as the tip I gave her. Very very disappointing experience overall. Truly colored my feelings about the way I looked on my wedding day in a very negative way.

you Tara and team!!

nd make it look great. Her make-up skills are really good and she does an amazing job working with different skin types. She does a good job on mature skin, greasy skin, and dry skin and her and her team are able to match skin tones really well. My mom and bridesmaids looked so good and we loved how friendly and knowledgeable Tara and her team were. We loved Tara and highly recommend!!

orever grateful for Tara for making the experience so effortless!

o look and feel amazing I would recommend Tara and her team 150%

day! When I went for the trial I was absolutely blown away! I never felt more beautiful!!! After that, I had no worries about my hair and makeup for the wedding because I knew she would take care of me! My wedding hair and makeup were somehow EVEN BETTER than the trial and both stayed on ALL NIGHT!!! Tara is so talented and if you want perfect hair and makeup on the most important day of your life, Tara is your girl! <3 Tara brought the best energy with her that morning and helped calm all of my nerves! Not only did she kill the hair and makeup job but she also had great playlists of songs to listen to, she made sure to keep closing the curtains when my girls would accidentally walk through and forget to close them, and she was just amazing to chat with! Every girl that got their hair and makeup done that day looked and felt stunning and we got tons of compliments! I cannot thank her enough for making me and my girls feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day! <3

is naturally curly and I wanted something different. She helped me pull off the look I was going for and I couldn't be any more thankful for all her help. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone who radiates positive vibes and is a master at her craft!

my bun did not move an inch! My makeup stayed perfectly and was gorgeous. My father in law said out of all of our vendors/venue he was most impressed by whoever did my makeup! What a compliment to Tara :)

BETTER." And she was RIGHT! Each of my bridesmaids looked more beautiful than I could have dreamed, and Tara achieved something so important to me, which was making us each look red-carpet gorgeous while still looking like ourselves. Every makeup look was carefully curated and planned according to each person's unique coloring and facial structure. In addition to her incredible abilities, Tara also was extremely reliable and responsive, reasonable about pricing and timing, and created an atmosphere of relaxation and humor in the bridal suite, consistently putting everyone at ease. The makeup looked great all the way until 2am - without requiring touch ups!! I truly cannot imagine any artist outperforming what Tara delivered for me on my wedding day. It's so important to feel confident, beautiful, and authentic as a bride, and I can't put a price on how effectively Tara delivered that experience for me. THANK YOU TARA!!!

I’m a bit of a control freak and don’t wear much make up, so I was a little worried about getting my make up done and it being too much. But Monica made me look exactly how I wanted. I looked so natural, summery, light and dewey. It was perfect. All my bridesmaids looked beautiful and i swear my mom looked 10 years younger. Monica is a master!!! And for my hair, I wanted a very specific style, a very textured low, messy, loose bun. Priscilla did just that. It looked exactly like the photos. I was beyond impressed and got SO many compliments on my hair and makeup!! I cannot recommend Tara Matos and her team enough!!

gotten so many compliments on my makeup and hair and I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day! 20 stars for her. You won't be dissapointed.

ay. I was most impressed with my outcome. I’m 65 and honestly felt like Cinderella at the ball Thank you Tara

iated her willingness to travel, her attention to detail, and her expertise with adjusting to my makeup needs!

ponded quickly and listened to all of my requests and concerns during our trial (which was fantastic!). We had a tight wedding day schedule (8 hair/makeups done by 11am), but Tara and her team made it work and everyone looked great! Also, I think it’s important to note that my bridal group was very diverse, and Tara and her team did an excellent job on everybody’s different skin and hair types. I cannot recommend Tara enough.

w they wanted their makeup and their individual styles. We all looked AMAZING. She had the best energy and we all had a great time all day.

t. Not to mention, Tara and her assistant were so fun to hang out with while we were getting ready. I have fine/thin hair and opted to wear it down - I was so sweaty during my outdoor ceremony and I can tell you my hair and makeup did not budge at all! I was looking for a glammed up natural look and gave Tara very little direction - and she managed to execute it perfectly! I would absolutely recommend Tara to anyone (she travels too)!
