Monica Hayes Makeup

Monica was so talented and did an AMAZING job with my wedding makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and mother/mother in law. She is a joy to work with and was great at communicating. Absolutely wonderful results and person to work with.

Monica is an amazing talent and so incredibly sweet an amazing to work with. She is super responsive, and my mom and I had the best time hanging out with her and getting to know her during the trial. Everyone in our wedding party was thrilled with their makeup- her products are premium, which is apparent as soon as she opens her makeup case. Our hairdresser got Covid and had to cancel the day before our wedding- the hairdresser's secretary said she was looking for a replacement, but we were in a panic. My mom called Monica to see if she knew anyone, and she was already coordinating with the salon that cancelled and reaching out to her contacts in to help find a replacement. Everything worked out for the best, but I was so touched that she was on our team and did that for us. Monica is a great addition to any bridal suite getting-ready time and did looks for my wedding that ranged from natural to fuller coverage depending on what people asked for- she even generously gave us small containers of products to reapply throughout the day. I highly recommend Monica!

I found Monica on The Knot and am so glad that I did. Let me just say that she is a top notch professional who communicates clearly with you from start to finish, follows up between your appointments, and even after you are married! We setup a bridal makeup trial about a month prior to my elopement. Monica made me feel so special and listened to my concerns again, even though they were communicated prior to our first appointment. Being an older bride, while wanting to look fabulous for my day, I did not want to look like I was trying to be younger as well as having a lot of white hair (salt-n-pepper) and had concerns about makeup "transferring" into the white. She understood my concerns, wants and we talked a little bit more at the trial about eyes, blush, lips - everything. All I can is WOW! My makeup at both my trial and day of my elopement were AMAZING!! The color matching to my varied colored skin (freckles and redness) and uneven pigmentation on my neck were my biggest concerns. Monica hit a homerun and exceeded my expectations completely. My best friend who accompanied to my appointment could not believe the transformation and the naturalness of my makeup on the day of the trial. Living in Florida, you have to deal with heat and humidity and my makeup lasted all day without any problem. The airbrushed foundation felt weightless as if I had on NO MAKEUP. About two weeks after my trial, Monica followed up to touch base to see if there was anything I might want to change for the day of the elopement. There was not and she continued to check in and confirm my appointment the day before the wedding. My makeup was flawless the day we got married and I am blessed and lucky to have found such a professional makeup artist. The reviews I read were spot on and can't thank her enough for making me look fabulous on my special day! Book Monica - it will be the smartest decision you can make before your wedding and one you will not have to worry about. I only wish she lived closer to my home in Orlando, because I would book her for special occasions without hesitation. I highly recommend her services!

Monica’s work is amazing! I hired her as my makeup artist for my wedding. She made me look so beautiful 🥰 She enhanced my features with a very natural look. I would highly recommend Monica for any of your makeup beauty needs ❤️

Monica did an absolutely stunning job with my wedding make-up! I wanted a classic, pin-up look and Monica was able to deliver exactly that - she was able to make me look and feel elegant for the occasion while still feeling like myself. And what's more is she was incredibly personable and so great to work with! She really put me at ease with both her personality and her knowledge of make-up application. Any questions I had, she was there to answer, address, and tweak anything that was needed to accommodate the look that I wanted. It was a true joy having her to work with on the most important day of my life!

Monica did amazing with my wedding makeup. She was kind and professional and calmed me down when I had so much going on around me. I will use her for other events. I never felt so beautiful in my life!

Monica was just perfect! And I didn’t have to think about a thing. She did beautiful, natural makeup that looked great, and she was insanely responsive to boot!

I found Monica on a vendor list from my wedding coordinator. I contacted Monica back in May of this year to do a trial run for our engagement pictures at Driftwood Beach, Georgia. She was very quick to respond and came right to my condo at Villas By The Sea Resort. She uses quality airbrush makeup as well as primers, eye shadow, lipstick, etc. Right after the trial run I knew instantly that I wanted her to do my makeup for our wedding this month (09/19/2020). Monica was super helpful and responsive before, during and after our big day. She always stayed on top of things and made sure I had everything I wanted for our big day. She did my makeup and 4 of my bridesmaids makeup the day of our wedding. She took everything I asked her to do and created the exact look I wanted for my big day. She asked each bridesmaid as well what they wanted and made them look as beautiful as myself. Monica is very patient and kind. I absolutely recommend using her for trial run makeup, wedding makeup and all other makeup services she has to offer. She was fantastic and made me feel honestly the most beautiful I’ve ever felt with makeup on. Monica, again, thank you so much again for everything. 😊

Monica was fantastic! She was so professional and talented. She made me feel at ease during a usual stressful time of wedding planning. She really brought out my best features and the makeup stayed put through sweat, wind, and humidity! I would definitely recommend Monica to anyone wanting to look their best on a special day.

Monica is my go to girl! She does amazing work. She has done my wedding and pregnancy photo shoot makeup, which came out flawlessly. She really gets to know you and your style. Thank you for being you.

Monica was amazing to work with! She did my makeup for my wedding, and I had gone to see her for a trial 4 months before the big day. The day-of looked EXACTLY like my finished look from my trial. Really amazing! I got so many compliments, and am so happy I got the chance to work with such a lovely and talented make-up artist. If you are looking for someone that's flexible, and does a fantastic job with a natural look (but can glam it up if you want), this is your woman!

Want a natural look with a classic finish? Monica is your girl. We had the joy of working with Monica for our wedding. She did the makeup for our girls ranging in ages from 11-26 for our wedding and she did my bridal make-up as well. She did a flawless job and made everyone feel so comfortable with her down to earth ways. She was a delight to communicate with through the planning process (I live out of town), was prompt, conscientious, prepared, and ultimately-really fun. I was nervous about having make-up done for my wedding because I really wanted to “look like me”, but a more “finished” version-next level, yet natural. Monica gets this! It’s her look too! You will not be disappointed with Monica’s services.

Monica was such a pleasure to have as my make up artist for my wedding day! My wedding was out of state, so she was very accommodating with scheduling my trial. She listened to my likes and requests after the trial, and on the wedding day went over everything prior which made me feel at ease knowing she remembered what I liked. My make up was absolutely beautiful. Looking back at the wedding photos I felt so pretty, but also looked like myself, freckles and all. Monica also did make up for some of my family, who were all super happy with how they looked as well. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Amazing! So sweet and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to do my wedding makeup!

Monica is fantastic! In addition to being an incredibly skilled make up artist, she is also an excellent listener. I don't normally wear a lot of make up, and one of my biggest apprehensions about my wedding day was not looking like myself. I've had some bad experiences having make up professionally done in the past. Monica listened to what I wanted and I could not have been more pleased with the look she designed. I looked like myself, only better!!! I was sure that my oily skin would need constant touch-ups but she listened to that as well and picked great products that looked fresh throughout a very hot and humid ceremony and then a night of dancing. She did a great job with my bridesmaids as well. Throughout the whole day she was calm, competent, flexible, and super professional. I HIGHLY recommend her to any brides looking for a good listener with great skills.

THE BEST!!! Look no further- Monica is absolutely amazing! Her makeup is impeccable and she makes sure it’s exactly what you want. She is incredible at wedding makeup (& at eye lash extensions) 😍😍

Monica Hayes came highly recommended by my best friend's sister who used her for her wedding day makeup. I, too used Monica's services for my wedding day and she did a fantastic job! She was prompt, always on time, listened to my concerns and answered my questions and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day.

Monica and her assistant were wonderful to work with for my wedding day! They showed up early to allow plenty of time for set-up and got right to work on the moms. Monica listened to each client, getting their likes and dislikes for color and style, and asked for input from myself (the bride) an other wedding party members. Monica personally did my makeup and made me look STUNNING! I seriously loved my wedding makeup and would suggest Monica to anyone.

It was definitely hard planning for the wedding from so far away, but Monica put me at ease and was a breeze to work with throughout! It was a pleasure to have her with us day-of - I was a bundle of nerves, but she had a very chill energy, which helped tremendously. I really appreciated that she took my rather vague directions and guidelines, and made me look truly stunning! I don’t wear make-up very often, and I was worried about feeling like I had make-up caked on - which is how I usually feel when I wear it. With what Monica did, though, I didn’t feel like I was wearing make-up at all; I felt very comfortable, and beautiful. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and she even finished up with all of us ahead of schedule - which allowed me to get some amazing bridal portraits with my photographer that I otherwise might not have gotten.

I found Monica when I asked a neighborhood network page who they would recommend for bridal makeup. She was quickly recommended, and lived up to the hype! Monica is truly professional but a warm person who is so kind and easy to work with. She was exactly correct with how much time she needed to complete my entire bridal party. She was punctual and easy to work with for scheduling. I am a makeup lover, and she was more than willing to listen to my preferences and use anything I wanted to use. I would definitely recommend Monica for your wedding or other event! Her airbrush was flawless and every bridesmaid love it! When I saw my reflection in the mirror when she was finished, I legitimately teared up. It was exactly what I had wanted.

Monica came to my home on my wedding day to do my makeup along with my moms and my Maid of honor's. My mom has never had her makeup professionally done before but the second she sat down with Monica she felt right at home. She made my mom love her makeup that she is still talking about it today. My MOH has posted several times about being obsessed with Monicas work and what a talent she is. She does amazingly beautiful work on me and everyone else in my party. She is fun to be around and makes you feel extremely comfortable. She's a great person and I would recommend using her for any event.

Monica did a beautiful job with women of different ages & coloring. She was immediately responsive to all my questions, arrived on time, finished on time & came well prepared. I highly recommend Monica for any make up needs!!

Oh my word!! Monica is the best!! She is professional, very quick to respond, so accommodating, kind, and oh SO SKILLED. She made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom look absolutely stunning. She gave us the beautiful, natural looks we were dreaming of. I would recommend her to everyone. Worth every penny!! ❤️

Monica did my mother and I’s makeup for my wedding. We are both very natural and never wear makeup, so we were a tad scared going in. She really took time during our trial to listen to what we wanted and made both of us look perfect! She was perfectly on time and kept on schedule and fulfilled all of our hopes. Would 100% recommend her for wedding makeup or any occasion! She made me look and feel like a movie star!!!

Monica was GREAT! She understood what I wanted and she did just that. She created a very relaxing and easy going environment, which was just what I needed on my wedding day. I would 100% recommend Monica no matter what the occasion might be!

From the moment Monica arrived at my parents house on my wedding day she was happy, polite, and professional! Monica is a very neat makeup artist and very organized with her materials. Before the big day, Monica created a schedule to coordinate makeup application with hair appointments. Monica was very good with her time management! She was so pleasant to work with all day. Not to mention all the bridesmaids looked AMAZING! Monica highlights natural beauty and is wonderful at choosing flattering color shades for people. (She even covered up my friends scar on her arm!) I highly recommend Monica Hayes Makeup!

Monica is the best!! She is truly talented, caring and easy going. Monica did a fantastic job on my wedding day. My look was natural and beautiful and held up magnificently in the Florida, July heat. It was perfect :). I highly recommend Monica for your wedding or any day you want to feel extra special and beautiful. Thank you Monica!

Monica is seriously the best!! Monica has done my makeup in the past for a photo-shoot, and I knew she was the one for my wedding makeup! Monica did my makeup and 9 other members in our wedding party. I can't say enough wonderful thing about Monica and her skills. We all got lots of compliments on our makeup. Monica is punctual, professional, laid back, and so talented! I know I will use her again in the future.

Due to an unexpected death in the family by my original person at the Beauty Bar, Monica was recruited at the very last minute - on Valentine's Day no less. She was excellent. For a upper middle aged woman, I was concerned about makeup being too heavy or trendy. I had no need for worry. Her artistry was perfectly age appropriate and beautiful.

I cannot say enough good things about Monica!! She is the absolute best. I had almost everyone at my wedding tell me how good my makeup looked, very natural and classic, which is exactly what I wanted! She did my trial and then asked for any notes after I wore it all day and took pictures. I sent her a few notes and we talked something’s out and by the day of the wedding we had a great plan! She was so professional and on time! If you want to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day call Monica!!!

So, Monica is just thee best! Not only was she quick to respond to me in my time of need (my previous MUA fell through) but she was a breeze to coordinate with. Monica is *extremely talented*, very laid back, & pays great attention to detail + really cares about achieving the look you want (whether you go full on glam or just want a natural, fresh face, like me). I'm actually glad my first MUA didn't work out because Monica was just the perfect fit for me & my girls! Highly recommend her, ladies!

Monica was wonderful to work with! She did a great job on my wedding makeup and was always very professional. The women in my bridal party and I absolutely loved our looks! We all wanted different styles -- from subtle to dramatic -- and she nailed each one. My Mother and Grandmother (who opted from the beginning not to have their makeup done) even said, after seeing our looks, that if they'd known what a great job she did, they would have booked appointments as well. Monica always communicated promptly, followed up with me before the wedding, and arrived right on time to our suite on the wedding day. My wedding was just a small ceremony, but Monica made me and everyone involved feel very special. I would recommend Monica to anyone looking for a great makeup artist!

Monica did my makeup for my wedding. She was great, really easy going, and great to work with. I loved that she did not have a problem adding or changing something that didn't work for me. She is very kind and she brought a nice calm vibe to the getting-ready process. I would highly recommend her for your special day.

Monica did my makeup for my engagement shoot and I absolutely loved it!! She even came to my house several weeks prior to let me try out airbrush vs. liquid foundation and also did my eye makeup so that I could get an idea of what it would look like. I loved the final work on the day of the shoot. My makeup looked flawless and perfect. She was also very flexible when we had to make last minute changes for the original shoot day due to weather. She was very friendly and professional. Her prices are also very reasonable! I highly recommend her!

Monica did my makeup as well as most of my bridesmaids. We all looked fabulous! I gave her a general idea of what I wanted as well as being open to suggestions by her. Her service was professional and amazing!! I would definitely recommend her to others.
