Michelle is incredible! I had two trial before the wedding and both were incredible. The 2nd was right before my bridal portraits and I loved my makeup look. I brought inspiration ...
pictures and she was so great at understanding what I wanted. I am usually hesitant to get my makeup done professionally because everytime I do, I feel that it is too heavy. Michelle heard me and made sure I felt comfortable with the amount of makeup I had on. I felt glamorous without being too much. Very thankful for everything she did to make me feel beautiful on my special day.
Michelle is amazing! Professional calm and sweet. Thank you for making us feel special and beautiful! Makeup lasted all night!!
Michelle is hands down THE BEST beauty expert I’ve ever worked with. She’s a professional and this shows in her work from start to finish. Michelle doesn’t just show up to do makeu...
p/hair, she creates an experience! She so kindly gifted me with a Bridal makeup/hair kit to get me through my wedding day/night and welcomed me to my appointment with lovely flowers which brightened my day instantly. I honestly could go on and on about the positive experience I had working with Michelle, bottom line is she truly is the best in the industry. She nailed the makeup & hair look I asked for, both were perfect, exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Michelle and hope I get to work with her again for years to come.
Michelle did a wonderful job on my makeup and the makeup of my mom, my bridesmaids and my mother in law. Thank you Michelle for making me look my best!
I'm torn on how to rate and write this review. I'll start with the positives: Michelle was very friendly, on time, and my makeup did look very beautiful.
My only concern about t...
he entire process, which I voiced, was "is this going to stay put?" Unfortunately this is where my negatives come in. An hour into photos one of my eyelashes started to fall off. When I hugged my father-in-law I left a giant imprint of makeup on his coat. The biggest letdown however was after the second line -my makeup was coming off in big splotchy patches and wasn't really fixable.
After her rate, paying for parking, and tip I spent a decent amount of money on a professional service that left me feeling really disappointed.
Michelle Cardozo is amazing! Very professional, and she also has an eye for the small details. I had tattoos that had to be covered for a particular photo shoot, and without a doub...
t Michelle was on it! I was in complete shock when I saw how well she covered them up, let’s not forget how’s quick she was able to do it as well!!
Thank you Michelle, I look forward to working with you again!!
Michelle is one of the most talented artists I have worked with and she is amazing at bridal makeup and hair. She is very professional and has an amazing kit! I would defiantly r...
ecommend her for any of your glam needs. OH, PS I love how sanitary she is. I have dealt with artists that seem to not keep up with cleanliness standards. Michelle is a professional through and through.
Michelle was a lifesaver for me. I found her after two trials that were disasters and I really was thinkingt the 'look' I wanted was unachievable. She, however, totally understood...
what I wanted and perfected the look. She did the eye I wanted exactly and my makeup lasted all night. I have already recommended her to friends that were super impressed with her at their weddings. I can't say enough about her talent as an artist. All of my bridesmaids were super happy with their makeup as well. My only regret is I didn't hire her for my hair as well because my hairstylist messed up my hair and so Michelle stayed behind to try and trouble shoot and fix it. My mom was so appreciative she was there and was impressed with her talents as well. She gave off such an awesome vibe for this special day. Michelle is super talented and professional and if you follow her work on instagram you can see she has a wide variety of looks she puts together from more dramatic to more natural. I can't wait to have another excuse to get my makeup done so I can hire her!
Michelle has been doing my makeup for two years now. She's extremely talented and I can count on her to be not only professional, but consistent. I have never gotten my makeup done...
perfectly every single time by anyone else. I always get compliments when she does it. I love that she explains the products and techniques she uses as she goes. It's gotten to the point where I don't trust anyone else with my face. If it were up to me, I'd steal her! I recommend her to everyone who asks because she makes it so easy and fun. I love that she comes to my house and has literally everything you could need for any look. You will love her!
Michelle did my makeup for my engagement photos, my wedding, and my maternity photos. And she’s doing my makeup again this weekend for my baby shower. She also did my mom and mot...
her-in-law’s makeup for the wedding. I have been 100% pleased every time. She is very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and super sweet.
