Minkus Makeup

well as maid of honor makeup and we got compliments all night, especially on my hair!! Samantha worked with me to get the bridal look I wanted which included some of my own products, and was also able to create a makeup look for my maid of honor on the fly that complimented her skin tones beautifully! I would definitely recommend her services for both hair and makeup!

up for my big day! Samantha also did hair and make up for some of my bridal party and they all felt beautiful and confident; especially my mother who hasnt worn make up in 15 years. Samantha has a very calm yet assertive energy that helps get things done and to ease a somewhat anxious bride from crying minutes away from walking down the aisle! I definitely recommend hiring Samantha for your special day or event!

ith so much going on day-of, Sami was a total rock. I highly recommend her!

she did! She made me feel absolutely beautiful in my wedding day!

e was always on time and ready to go.

her until the final makeup application in my bridal party. Sammi showed up early to my venue to make sure she was set up and ready to go right on time! She is fast and efficient with her makeup application and extremely professional. You will not have to worry about a thing if you decide to hire Sammi for your special day!

cing what I wanted for the bridesmaids with what made them comfortable and confident, and she did a beautiful job. Everyone was very happy! I would highly recommend her.

e passion for her work is exactly what makes her the perfect hair and makeup professional for special events. I had the pleasure of having Samantha do my hair and makeup on my wedding day this past weekend. She not only showed up on time and with a great knowledge from the trial I had with her back in June, but she truly took what direction I was going for in terms of my look and made it even better than I thought it could be! All I heard all night was how beautiful I look and also my hair and makeup truly did stay together all night - even with dancing, crying, and laughing! Her team was also very professional and sweet with my bridesmaids who also got their hair and makeup done. What a treat to have had Samantha be a part of our special day!! I can't wait to look back on photos.

her throughout my wedding hair/makeup process was one of the best parts of my wedding. Sam was always professional - she promptly responded to all requests, organized a day-of schedule to keep us on track and communicated with me throughout the whole process. We worked together to find inspiration online and via Pinterest. I’m not someone who normally wears a lot of makeup so I went into my trial not knowing exactly what I wanted. So Sam helped suggest ideas, show me pictures, and experiment with different styles until I found something I liked. I felt like I was just hanging out and putting on makeup with a girlfriend. She made me feel supported and comfortable - she was open to feedback and kept trying different things until I arrived at the look I loved! I enjoyed the makeup at my trial so much that I also used Sam for my bachelorette party. She went total night-out glam and made me feel so sexy! This shows her versatility - she's able to create various looks and all are equally amazing. On my wedding day, she was extremely efficient and punctual. She showed up to my hotel 30 minutes early to set up all the makeup supplies. Then, we relocated to my venue where she did all the hair. She brought an assistant to help and did the hair and makeup for me, my six bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law. Everyone raved about their makeup! Her airbrushing was lighter and more natural looking than other makeup artists I’ve used before. She was able to take ideas from all nine of us and make us look unique, but also part of the same wedding party. Besides being an amazing makeup artist, she is also fabulous at doing hair! She managed to whip up the perfect updo in under 30 minutes. I plan on recommending Sam to everyone I know! Working with her was one of the best parts of my whole wedding experience. She was able to take my vision and turn it in to something better than I could’ve imagined.

ce and knowledgable about hair and makeup. I would recommend her to anyone that is getting married!

the schedule, and Samantha had no issue with them at all. She is so personable and did just a fantastic job giving every girl the exact look she wanted, and gave us such a relaxed atmosphere to get ready in! I could not imagine my wedding day being as wonderful without Samantha. She is definitely one of my favorite vendors for the day.

her to anyone!

e different looks and hairstyles for each of my events, and she completely nailed all of them and delivered exactly what I wanted! Besides being an amazing artist, Sami is extremely easy to work with. All while being professional, she is friendly and easy to talk to. She fits in perfectly with any bridal party which makes getting ready even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Minkus Makeup and will be using Sami for any special events in the future!

her communications with me. She is also very intuitive. From the very beginning, she reassured me by conveying the confidence and enthusiasm I needed to see to know that she would do the job right. Before I even set up my appointment, Samantha had my complete trust. She is very knowledgeable and has an impeccable eye for color and shade. Any special requests I made were acknowledged and accommodated quickly. Even the lesson was tailored to me so the application would feel more natural. Looking at pictures, I can't believe that is me! Let me say one thing- lashes. Long have I longed for lashes. Now I will likely never take them off. Lol. Samantha, you have made me a believer! I love what you did for me. The makeup is beautiful! It matches my skin tone perfectly. I not only look natural. I feel comfortable, glowy, and beautiful. Now I have all the tools I need to duplicate this look on my own. I am also looking forward to experimenting with makeup more. I never knew makeup could be so much fun :) Thank you, Samantha!

ith Sami made the day of feel effortless, and I was more than pleased with the end result. I was amazed by the makeup she was able to provide for the rest of my party, even without a trial session. I would highly recommend Sami to anyone in need of a makeup artist. She has a creative outlook and artistic eye that she is able to apply individually to each of her client needs.

he was affordable and easy to work with on the back and and is great about communication.Everyone complimented my makeup the entire night. I also appreciate that she was cool and let my bridesmaid and I ramble on about geeky things without being weirded out, lol. She also shared some of her FX work, and we were greatly impressed. Given the opportunity, i would definitely use her again.

something light so I could still feel and look like myself- Samantha did a wonderful job taking that into consideration, and made me feel beautiful for my wedding day!

to my home and making my house feel like a makeup studio. It lasted all day, came out amazing for photos and I felt beautiful. She is so great with contouring and making a flawless look. No matter the skin tone or texture it came out great!!! Love her to pieces!!!

. I highly recommend her and promise you will be thankful you used such a lovely artist on your big day.

eup was natural yet stunning, her work made me the most beautiful version of myself. She is able to do any look you want and make each girl feel and look their best. Not only is she great at what she does but she is super fun, kind, and makes the entire experience enjoyable. She became a special part of my wedding day.
