Rika provided me with more than I could’ve ever dreamed of. She provided a full glam look that was elegant and classy; that didn’t look “over the top” in the slightest. Beforehand ...
she gathered background information about who I am, what my comfortability and everyday wear was, and any inspiration pictures. From there she compiled that information and gave me some ideas to look at ahead of time. Rika explained the whole process, and clarified each product and step when applying. She was constantly checking in with me on how I was doing and a feeling, which is beyond appreciated at stressful times. She made me feel like I made the make up/look beautiful and not the other way around. Her gift is more than just her trade, she is a kind, compassionate, girl boss who is going to go above and beyond to make sure your day is beyond perfect. I cannot recommend her enough to other brides out there! You won’t regret a single thing when booking with Rika.
