Hire Olivia and her team, you won’t regret it! Olivia made me feel so beautiful for my wedding and all my girls looked flawless! Olivia was the sweetest most genuine person, and she made our getting ready experience so much fun! Portland was having a once every few years snow/ice storm and Olivia drove to get one of her artists to make sure the whole team made it and that things went perfectly, grateful doesn’t cover her going above and beyond to ensure everything happened as planned. On top of being amazing, Olivia was great with communication and answered all my questions. Thank you, Olivia, for everything - I’ll be thinking up ways to hire her again to glam me up!
Olivia Hawthorne and her team were absolutely incredible!!! So easy to work with, and they really took their time to ensure my bridesmaids and I felt beautiful. Everyone looked GORGEOUS and they stayed gorgeous all night!! My whole day was a dream, and I would hire Olivia’s team again in a heartbeat. Thank you all again so much for all your gorgeous work!!!
To preface, I am not a "make up enthusiast". My daily routine consists of bare minerals powder and mascara because that's all I ever really learned how to do.
So, when it came time to decide what I wanted to look like on my wedding day, I was stuck. I knew I wanted lighter/brighter/more natural but didn't want it to seem like I rolled out of bed, did my usual routine, and walked down the aisle. I reached out to Olivia Hawthorne Beauty after looking through her portfolio. While all the brides seemed different, what I loved about the varying looks was that each one brought out the incredible NATURAL features of the brides.
After some initial questions, I booked Olivia and her team without even looking at other artists. And I recommend it 100% to any other brides out there in the same boat I was.
Olivia was extremely organized and friendly. I was worried about looking silly walking in to a hair and make up trial with absolutely zero clue for what I wanted but they took my inspiration and pinterest ideas and brought them to life. My Mimi came to my trial with me and she felt included and welcomed as well.
Kyla, the hair stylist, was warm and friendly and understood my "beachy waves/curls" idea to a tee. When the trial hair do was a bit to "princess" for my liking, Olivia and Kyla took notes and the style for the day of the wedding was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Kyle also did the hair for my mom and 4 bridesmaids. My mom did a stunning up do and it looked effortless - not crusty and "worked" like you see on some of those Four Wedding shows. As for the bridesmaids, we had all different hair types and lengths and each one came out looking 1) gorgeous but 2) individuals. I never wanted my bridesmaids to be "copy and pastes" and Kyla completely understood that.
As for the make up, I can't say enough good things about Olivia. She worked with my extremely sensitive skin (cholinergic urticaria) and latex allergy and made me feel like a movie star on my wedding day. She arrived promptly in the morning and did an absolute incredible job with all of my bridesmaids. We never felt rushed and each member of my bridal party felt like a million bucks. Even my mom, whose about as learned in the make up ways as I am, couldn't believe what Olivia was able to make happen.
All of our hair and make up stayed perfect throughout the wedding day and not once did I feel like the hair was falling out or make up falling off. And this is coming from someone who did multple shot skis and danced 2+ hours (including the full blown "Shout" from Animal House" at her wedding.
Please please please reach out to Olivia and her team! She works wonders and I am so grateful for what she did for me and my girls on my special day.
I would recommend Olivia and her team with out hesitation for hair and makeup on your wedding day! The trial was seamless and Olivia nailed exactly what I envisioned on the trial and my wedding day. Kyla did my hair and was able to replicate my inspiration images perfectly. They both were so fun and delightful to get ready with in the morning and brought a sense of calm and ease.
I don’t even have the words to express my gratitude for this amazingly talented, professional, kind hearted woman. Olivia so graciously did my makeup for my wedding and I felt so beautiful. Olivia’s attention to detail and years of experience were made evident onMy wedding day but then also after viewing my pictures. Unlike so many makeup artists, Olivia simply accentuates your beautiful features so you still look like yourself just with more glowing happiness and confidence. She is responsive, patient, punctual, and makes you feel like her best friend. I’m so thankful to have had a day where there were a million things to worry about but my makeup was not one! Whether you have an event or a wedding, take a breath and allow yourself to stress no more. Hire Olivia Hawthorne and know that whatever the event, you are going to look and feel like a goddess.
Olivia, Kyla, and Tiffany were my hair & makeup dream-team! I felt SO beautiful, and my girls were GORGEOUS. They do amazing work and are efficient and organized. We were even done ahead of schedule. They were so accommodating, even changing the start time to an earlier time at my request, despite having another wedding before mine. They executed the vision for my hair and makeup & that of my bridesmaids with ease. They are such sweet people and put you at ease. We were having a great time getting ready for the wedding and it was like having an extension of your friend group there. My trial with Olivia and Kyla was great and they made me feel so confident that I would feel as beautiful as I hoped on my wedding day. I can't say enough about their professionalism, skills, creativity, flexibility, and kindness. Don't miss out on the opportunity to have these girls make you feel your best for your wedding day. <3
I could go on and on!
Not only did I simply enjoy having Tiffany *around* the morning of my wedding, she made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt by an order of magnitude. I walked out of the dressing room feeling so ready and it's a credit to Tiffany's careful and subtle touch. As someone who usually doesn't feel at ease in front of the camera, all day long I felt totally confident and comfortable.
On top of being skilled and understanding of what I wanted, she was also just a really reassuring and positive presence in the room. Also: trial was great, Tiffany was totally flexible when I changed my mind about my hair after the fact, and Olivia is a sweetheart. One of the many reasons I wish I could do it all again!
I had my wedding in July and Olivia was perfect! The makeup and hair was beautiful and she even redid the hair trial when I changed my mind about the hairstyle. She brought another stylist to help with the volume of my hair (my hair is heavy and is hard to keep volume). I loved her and I would highly recommend her to everyone! I wish I could get married again so Olivia could do my hair and makeup again!
WORKING WITH OLIVIA WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I MADE! Olivia is so incredibly talented and made me feel exceptionally beautiful on my wedding day. She listened to me throughout the entire process and created a soft, natural make-up look while also ensuring I got to feel like Lauren 2.0! Did I mention I had a small tan-line on my back that had been there for 6 months? Olivia made it GO AWAY with the magic of makeup (something not even a spray tan was able to take care of). She also brought with her a team of knowledgeable hair stylists that helped me and my sister feel picture perfect. We had to look no further than Olivia for all our beauty needs! If I were a celebrity millionaire Olivia would lead my glam squad! I would recommend her 100%, without hesitation!
Olivia is AWESOME. I hired her to do my wedding makeup and after looking at my Pinterest board she immediately understood my vision and did exactly what I was dreaming of. She is able to create a look that is both glam, but also naturally beautiful at the same time so it doesn't look over-the-top. She is super sweet, friendly, organized, and professional. Olivia did me and my bridesmaids makeup and we have literally never looked better. So glad I booked Olivia!!
Olivia is INCREDIBLE!! Looking for hair and makeup vendors was not something I was super excited about doing. I don't wear that much makeup, I didn't know what questions to ask or how to describe what I wanted. But then I met Olivia and all of my worries disappeared. I had so much fun at my consultation! She looked at my inspiration pictures and just knew what to do. I appreciated her describing the process as she went along and why she was doing things certain ways. The day of the wedding went wonderfully. I had six people getting their makeup done with me (Olive brought a second artist who was also amazing) and we stayed on schedule and everyone looked absolutely stunning. Olivia and Cori were so much fun to have in our bridal suite while we were all getting ready; it felt like they were part of our crew and not just random people there doing a job. I could not have been happier with how my makeup turned out. It was exactly what I wanted and lasted all day and night. Amazing experience.
