Monique Powers Beauty Boutique

modating, and super bubbly! She was a much needed comfort during one of life's most stressful events. At my request, Monique did a great job applying individual eyelash extensions - a 2 hour, yet peaceful process. She even showed up early and stayed late on the day of my wedding in order to transform me into a gorgeous bride on my special day. I received so many compliments from family and friends and my wedding photos were absolutely amazing! To be honest, I feel like I'm a regular looking girl - with Monique's attention to detail and extraordinary level of skill I was transformed! My husband, during out first-look even cried when he saw me! He was absolutely shocked and stunned at how gorgeous I looked. I'd recommend Monique to anyone who is looking for an elegant, and glamorous look for a great price. Trust me you'll receive plenty of compliments and accolades.

tural" as possible. My husband (fiancé at the time) does not like me to wear make-up and he was adamant that I not look super "made-up" on our wedding day. "I want you to look like you," was his comment. I explained this to Monique, who by the way is a great listener, and she understood perfectly. On my wedding day, Monique came to my house and set up shop right in our dining area. She did my mother’s face first (who also never wear's make-up). My mom loved her finished look: Natural yet glamorous. I was next. Admittedly, I was a little anxious but when she finished, my make-up was beautiful, natural and flawless; and it lasted the entire day and night! Most importantly, my husband was overwhelmed by how beautiful I looked. And the pictures looked great! I HIGHLY recommend Monique and would refer her in a heartbeat!

questions and even had two of her wonderful stylists, Shana Taylor and Jessica Berrios, drive all the way to Pasadena on a Saturday morning to get myself and my best friend ready for my big day. I was so impressed with their work, I had to write a review ( which in all honesty, I hardly ever do.) Even though Monique herself was already booked for that day and couldn't do my makeup for me, she left my friend and I in very good hands. I highly recommend this boutique for anyone looking for a bit of glam for their special occasion. I'd give this review more than 5 stars if I could!

ooked or felt more beautiful than when Monique gets ahold of my face. She can do it all...airbrushing, brow shaping, lash extensions...you name it! What I especially love about Monique is that she actually listens to me and achieves the look I desire, as opposed to just doing whatever she wants. She is a true professional. Whenever I need to look my best, I know that Monique is just a phone call away.

nd I would highly recommend her services.

excellent work! My tattoo couldn't be seen at all and matched my skin tone perfectly. It didn't rub off and stayed on all day. My hair was perfect! I provided a picture of how I wanted my wedding hair. Not only was it matched perfectly, it came out looking even better than the picture I brought in. My hair also lasted all day. I loved working with Monique and her staff. They were so friendly and welcoming and I ginuinely enjoyed their company- they're such a pleasure. It felt more like hanging with friends. I felt the price was totally reasonable and the services provided were stellar!

as it! She flew to the Bahamas (at a personally difficult time for her) and did an amazing job on me and my bridesmaids. She is the absolute best! Thank you Monique!

rom the moment of application until I took it off that night. Monique and her assistant also provided makeup for my bridesmaids and my mother. Everyone loved their makeup. I was amazed by how she and her assistant did not provide cookie cutter service. She truly individualized the process for each individual. I would recommend Monique to ANY bride who wants exemplary service and a stunning look on her wedding day.

perfectionist. She is amazing -- truly an artist. She and her team did hair and make-up for me and 9 others on the day of my wedding. She stayed on schedule and did an amazing job. I never worried once about my make-up during the entire wedding. I don't think I ever even had to do any touch-ups. Definitely book her for your hair and make-up, but don't forget about everything else she does as well.

e truly listens and cares for her clients. She was punctual, easy to work with, and her makeup lasted all night long. She truly made my daughters special night, extra special with her amazing talent.

her chair with a biggggg smile on your face. She is veryyyyyyyyy patient and absolutely pleasant to deal with. As for the quality of the makeup, I tend to sweat from my face, but her makeup lasted all night long through all the dancing and sweating!! till I finally took it off with a makeup remover at 4:00am! And above all, almost everyone at the wedding commented on how good my makeup looks and how it had wonderfully lasted.

she is a true artist and expert at what she does. I could not have dreamed of a better result. To this day people are still complementing me on how beautiful I was. She is worth every penny, if you are contemplating her services don't hesitate, you will NOT be disappointed.

a few changes and I told her. On my wedding day, I just can't believe how Monique put together what my husband and I liked. My guests and friends just love my hair and make up. It is really amazing. I'm glad I chose Monique out of all the other stylists out there who will charge a lot but their work is very typical.

hair and makeup. Monique was such a sense of calm the day of my wedding and I am thankful that she and Jazmine were a part of my special day. My makeup and hair lasted the entire day and night. She helped make our day more beautiful than we ever imagined. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her for other events.

ked in all my photographs. What was even more amazing is that it stayed on all day and through the evening reception. She arrived on the wedding day earlier than expected and worked quickly and efficiently on my hair and makeup, so much so that I arrived 15 minutes early to the church! As well as being highly skilled at what she does, Monique is very personable and puts you at ease. I very highly recommend Monique’s hair and makeup. I have not come across a better makeup artist.

of fun to be around. In the months leading up to the wedding, I visited her for facials and eyebrow shaping as well which was great. The most relaxing facial I've ever had.

to help me accomplish the look I wanted for my big day. From the first moment of contact -- her prompt reply to my inquiry -- it was clear to me that Monique is a consummate professional. During our trial session, she was attentive, patient, and focused on making sure that I was happy with the look we achieved together. I loved what we did so much that I asked her to help me with my engagement shoot as well. Not only was she extremely responsive to my questions before the wedding, she arrived in enough time to allow us to pull the look together in a relaxed, un-hurried atmosphere. Monique is simply a lovely and engaging person to be around. You can tell that she loves her work and genuinely wants her clients to look and feel amazing. I was completely comfortable and at ease the entire time. The final verdict on the looks she pulled together for my engagement and wedding shoots? Absolute perfection! The comments and feedback I received from my husband, family, and friends when they saw me (and my photos) were *overwhelmingly* positive. I don't think I've ever looked so good. ;) Monique does BEAUTIFUL work and I'm so thrilled that I was lucky enough to have her help on my big day. THANK YOU, Monique!!

knew I could. Having had previous bad experiences with getting my makeup professionally done at other salons, and looking like a cheap drag queen after these experiences, I was naturally worried about my wedding makeup. Monique was somehow able to cover up all of my flaws, made me look natural and elegant, and made my pictures turn out so beautiful. In addition to the above, I had a morning wedding, and Monique arrived to my hotel 20 minutes earlier than our scheduled appointment time. I love timeliness! I would recommend Monique to any bride-to-be and am so thankful I found her. -L

really enjoyed having our makeup done by you. We felt so beautiful :) I am happy you were able to do our makeup, due to the high demand of your service. Once again, thank you Ms. Monique for making my wedding that much special! - Ladies, this woman is a genius when it comes to makeup! She just knows how to capture your true beauty! My wedding photos look amazing thanks to my makeup. And plus, this makeup last all night, I couldn't believe it! Monique is a makeup Guru!! Thank you, Desiree

at I was able to sweat and cry and nothing happened to it. I could not have asked for anything more. Monique is amazing and I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed. She came on time to my hotel with everything including here own comfortable chair (so you feel like a movie star).

de me feel really comfortable at both my make-up trial, so much so that I hired her for my wedding too! I actually live in Syracuse, NY so I was nervous about having to find someone so far away (that I didn't know) to do my make-up. I examined her work online and basically took a chance. I couldn't have been happier and she did a fantastic job. For celebrity style treatment and look, search no further! I felt like a princess and can say it was well worth the investment!!

I LOVED the makeup Monique did for me and it came out beautifully in the photos as well. Not to mention that Monique arrived early to downtown LA, with a smile on her face and ready to go. Thank you Monique for helping me look beautiful on my big day and for a great experience. 5 stars!

has a kind, calming personality, and she's extremely professional. In addition my makeup lasted all day (even through a few tears), and my pictures and video are beautiful! Thanks Monique :)

ing for - radiant! I made the last minute decision to use a make up artist for my wedding but it was the best decision ever. She was very accommodating with our schedules and the fluctuation of time. She took her time and made me feel very relaxed during the whole process. I also had her do my bridesmaids, who also were glowing. They were completely enamored with the look that Monique had given them. As I am looking over my wedding pictures, I am still stunned how great my make up looks through out the evening, even after an unexpected October rainstorm. I highly recommend her for any special event that you may have coming up!

ique is VERY professional and flexible. She always arrives 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment and brings everything that she needs in 3 compact cases. Additionally, she takes the time to apply and reapply until everything is perfect. She is very open to feedback as her number one priority is just for YOU to feel the most beauitful and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Our wedding photos are PERFECT. The makeup that she applied at 8 AM on my wedding day looks flawless even at 3 AM when all of the festivities ended. I cannot compliment Monique and her services enough...she definitely has a regular customer for life and a recommender to everyone that I know. Thanks Monique for everything!

grapher was enamored by Monique's make-up application. She's professional, she's efficient and reliable. 9/23/12*

feel 100% confident that they would deliver the results I was hoping for. I have struggled with my complexion for years and it has been a battle of breakouts which have left some marks to show. It was my greatest desire to have beautiful, flawless skin on my wedding day and the most important part was the ability for it to last throughout the ceremony and reception. A friend of mine who was recently married recommended Monique. I searched out her user friendly website and was impressed by the beauty tranformations on her site. I immediately called to book an appointment for a trial make up applicaton. I left her studio amazed at her technique. Her results are what any bride could want. Make up that brings forth natural beauty and...flawless coverage that doesn't look cakey or heavy. She is patient, kind and personable while her professionalism truly shows. Looking back at pictures from my wedding day, I am pleased with the results she delivered. I couldn't ask for anyting more. I don't think many brides could say that. THANK YOU, Monique!!! I look forward to seeing you again for future events!

owers. Monique was already booked so I had the pleasure of working with Bianca. From the moment I met Bianca she made me feel very comfortable. I completely fell in love with her and her work from the moment I met her at my trial. I am a mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss kind of girl, so I was really concerned about looking like I was wearing a lot of make-up. I told Bianca that I wanted to look like myself but prettier, and that is exactly what she did. I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day. Highly recommended!

experience of all my vendors!

sh my makeup lasted the hole night

t follow up with me. I'm so low maintenance but understand that I need to step it up on my wedding day. I believe in natural beauty so I wanted to look like me and not like someone someone else.I wanted to feel comfortable in my skin and look like a better version of me. Immediately I connected with Monique. She has a warm and inviting spirit. I knew I wanted someone who was happy go lucky like me. Her talent is of an Artist. She listens to your needs and calms any worries you might have. I had no idea what I would look like at the end of my preview and to put it simply WOW! Is this really me? I'm not the girly girl and Monique created the look I could only dream of. My makep and hair just got better throughout the day. I was sad to wash it off. It was like defacing the Mona Lisa. If money was no object I would hire Monique to do my makeup everyday. I hope this review puts that Bride that is like me at ease. A simple girl looking for her Fairygod Makep Artist. Thank you Monique. I'm happy I found you.

ons. my mom also got make up done and was worried about her wrinkles being enhanced.. Monique knew exactly what she was doing for both of us. also, i dont normally wear much makeup she made me looks flawless without looking overdone... really took my breath away. photographed well too. i can't say enough about her...

it right. I usually get professional makeup done for parties and other special occasions but never like this. On the wedding day, she arrived early with a smile and attitude that put me at ease amidst the pre-wedding chaos. My makeup was flawless...I felt more beautiful than I've ever felt, my husband and most our guest couldn't stop me how beautiful I looked. We partied till 1:30AM and my make was still perfect at the end of the day. I would recommend Monique to anyone. she's definitely the make up queen.

ding, She's extremely professional with a great personality. I sent an email inquiring if she was available the day of my wedding. She called me back the very same day to say that she was available. When she did the preview makeup session, she asked me the look that I wanted. I only told her that I wanted a natural look, something not too heavy and to do whatever she thought looked best. My makeup turned out fantastic. All my friends who saw it said I looked fantastic ! Monique is also a master at airbrush makeup. I have pretty oily skin and was concerned about my makeup not lasting the whole day. It was a pretty warm day(in the 80's) the day of my wedding and my makeup lasted all day ! Everyone said I looked beautiful and like I looked I'd stepped out of a page of a magazine. She really helped make my day perfect and I'm going to have her do my makeup again soon for another upcoming photo shoot soon

you’ve known her your whole life. I received so many compliments on my makeup the day of my wedding. I chose to have my makeup airbrushed and I looked flawless. The makeup lasted from the time she applied it until my wedding was over; it even lasted through the crying and dancing up until 1am. Monique also shapes my eyebrows, which I never trust anyone with, but she knows what she is doing. Monique's an amazing artist; she has been truly blessed with a special gift!

require a person or service minimum. I was not disappointed at all and I loved how flawless she made my skin look without making my skin look like it was covered in concealer. She made my eyes pop with liner and extended lashes and after she completed the look she asked me if I had any changes. I appreciated her flexibility and vision for my wedding day. Her work is truly gorgeous - check out her facebook page. She is also very professional and very responsive. I have heard horror stories of flaky makeup artists and was thrilled that she wasn't one of them. I would highly recommend her! Her costs seemed a little high at $200 for day of makeup but I knew that going in and I believe that price is not tremendously higher than other makeup artists that I talked to.

shed early, and was such a calming influence on an otherwise crazy and hectic day. Book her now - she will make you look GORGEOUS!!
