I couldn't have imagined a more amazing team of hair and makeup artists. Not only was I able to say what I did or didn't like before Dorothy started on me, but she also let me be a...
part of the makeup process by picking the different colors as we went along. Even though when we were finished with my hair and makeup, I decided I didn't like the lipstick I had chosen, Dorothy was kind enough to change it for me without being rude or offended by my decision. This is truly the best MUA I could ever recommend.
I got my makeup done by Aleya for our engagement pictures, and she was awesome! She showed up right on time and made me feel beautiful. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, but she ...
helped and explained everything (I don't know much about makeup). Our pictures turned out great; i looked flawless! I will definitely be using Your Makeup Expert for my wedding day.
We used Dorothy's hair/makeup services for both my bridal portraits and the wedding day. Dorothy is great! She really loves what she does and it shows with her great attitude.

I'll start with my bridals...we showed up at her studio which is adorable decorated and quaint. I was hesitant but she convinced me that airbrush makeup would look best for pictures. She was right...my skin looked flawless! I have pretty clear skin already, but it was just beautiful for the portraits. She did my hair exactly how I asked and it stayed intact from 9am-9pm- ALL DAY! I knew that day that we had made the right decision by hiring Dorothy for hair & makeup...I felt gorgeous.
I offered my (9) bridesmaids and the in-laws the opportunity to hire Dorothy for their hair or makeup (or both) since she was already going to be there on the wedding day for my mother and me. We had about 10 girls and mothers use her and Elise for hair and makeup services that day. It was a blast! We all hung out in my mother-in-law's hotel suite with mimosas all day while everyone got beautified! A few of the girls weren't 100% satisfied with their hair because they felt she didn't use enough bobby pins or that their curls weren't "Kardashian" enough. My hair (curls) became flat right after the ceremony which wasn't good, but I'm not sure if that was due to the Houston humidity or not enough hair spray. Regardless, everyone looked perfect and I felt like a glamorous rock star! That's how a bride should feel on her big day!
I definitely think makeup is their strong suit, but I'd recommend them to any bride-to-be and her maids anytime. Plus, Dorothy was a TV star ;)
Jeanni did my makeup for my son's wedding. She did a fantastic job and made me feel so relaxed. If I have another formal event to attend in the future, I will definitely use her ...
services.
I had YME do my hair and makeup, my bridesmaids hair, my mother's and grandmother's hair on my wedding day.
First of all...Dorothy is amazing. It was so nice to work with her an...
d she really knows exactly what she is doing. I have extremely thin hair and have to wear clip in extensions...she made my hair look so perfect in the trial run we had. Her relaxed and laid back attitude calmed me down so much as i figured my hair wouldn't look as nice as I wanted it to on my wedding day....she went above and beyond my expectations.
I had to make last minute changes and changes to the contract about a week before the wedding...Dorothy was not only super patient, but really accommodating as well! She quoted getting to the hotel with another artist at about 12:45pm the day of the wedding and was right on time! I cannot remember the other artists name, but she was amazing as well. Her and Dorothy got through all 6 of my bridesmaids in no time, took amazing care of my grandmother and mother..the other artist handled all the little hair touch ups for the girls as they asked her while Dorothy worked on me...so patient, it was incredible!
Dorothy did a PERFECT job on my makeup. Everything was flawless. Even my photographer asked me who did my makeup and commented on how perfect it was...in my opinion, it's really saying something when a professional photographer makes a comment about a makeup job, but that is just me.
if you want to look gorgeous on your day, this is who you want to trust with your face and hair....ALSO-when i was at her studio, she has pictures of before and after tattoo coverup pictures...she did something for a girl who had a whole back piece (dark colors-blacks, blues, reds)...the after picture looked as though there had never been anything there in the first place, totally amazing. So if you have tattoos that you want covered at your wedding, Dorothy's got you :)
Your Makeup Expert was an absolute delight to work with. I did my trial, bridal and wedding day services with YME, including moms, and all my bridesmaids makeup and hair. They perf...
ectly executed my visions and made me a beautiful bride. Dorothy and her team were always in a good mood, smiling, and having a good time while being focused, on-time and listening to exactly what I wanted. They were always timely, organized and compared to what other companies charge, a big bang for your buck. Believe me, I research and called MANY vendors to get pricing. I couldn’t have been more pleased with YME. She made me look like me, just a really awesome version of me. Nothing too over the top and fake…just the way I wanted it! I HIGHLY recommend YME to brides looking for a wonderful group of women to work with. Thank you for everything!!
Amazing makeup and hair for myself and all 10 of my bridesmaids!!
My makeup was perfect!!!!! did an amazing job.. Everybody look so stunning
I was terrified to have my make-up done by someone else because I am sooo picky about how my eyes look. I am pleased to say that I was super satisfied w/ how I looked. Dorthy was...
fantastic, so fun! And she really listened to what I preferred/wanted and is truly an artist!
Dorothy was amazing at our daughters wedding. She and one other professional handled 15 bridesmaids, mothers, aunts and Bride with perfection. Everyone looked beautiful and felt ...
beautiful. She was a true asset to our daughters wedding and we would highly recommend her to any bride. Not to mention so fun!
Dorothy, Elise and the crew did my hair and makeup, along with the hair and makeup of my 8 bridesmaids, mother, and grandmother-in-law. They started at 6 am (noon wedding) and wer...
e extremely professional, and everything was perfect. I could not have been happier, and every bride knows that the "look" is the most important part of the day! Thank you, Dorothy, Elise and gals!!!
Elise with Your Makeup Expert was awesome! She made me feel right at ease and helped me figure out exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day! And I looked great! Thank you so ...
much!
I was lucky enough to book w/Dorothy only a couple weeks in advance (after my stylist had a conflicting time). Lindsay was available and absolutely talented. I did a practice run w...
ith her and she listened to my requests to have a "natural" look the day of the wedding. Wedding day arrived and she rocked out my mom's, mom-in-law's, and my hair and makeup in a tight timeframe. We all looked and felt glamorous but still looked like ourselves. I highly recommend Your Makeup Expert!
Dorothy did an amazing job for my wedding day. My make-up and hair from 2:00 PM still looked amazing at 2:00 AM, even after dancing for 6 hours! Thanks for making my wedding day wo...
nderful!!!
My daughter, the Bride, decided to have her wedding in our backyard, in late August. Ugh! We wanted to have a beautiful wedding, but cutting corners on anything that we could. My...
daughter then suggested that we get the spray on foundation (Humidity Proof) she said, I had my doubts but told her I would check pricing. It seemed pretty pricey for makup. I checked several places, Dorothy's price was a little more than the rest, but once I talked to her and saw that she was listening to all of my concerns, and answered them all, I knew she was the one I wanted. The contract was signed and the down payment was made. She arrived right on time, very professional, yet very friendly and comfortable to be around. She would then go to work, WOW what a beautiful job she did on my daughter and I. She told me there is a difference between someone who applies makeup and "A Makeup Artist" and now I am convinced. Looked very natural yet elegant. Makeup stayed on through the whole evening. WORTH EVERY PENNEY.
Dorothy did the make up for my wedding and she was amazing!!! She is the best by far!!! I have tried a lot of other make up artists and they don't compare.
Dorothy was really easy to work with and the girls that came and did our hair and makeup were awesome! They fit right in with me and my bridesmaids and we had a great time getting ...
ready. AND all of my girls, and myself, LOVED their hair and makeup. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks again ladies!
Dorothy did an amazing job on my hair and makeup, and she was super cool, which was an added plus. I got so many compliments on my appearance the night of my wedding, and a couple...
of people asked for the name and number of my hair and makeup artist. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Dorothy from YME to any other brides who want to feel beautiful on their wedding day!
I actually found this company on the internet. Their wesite has shown beautiful pictures so I thought they would offer quality work. I called, set the appointment and crossed my ...
fingers.
I didn't do the trial run so I was still a bit nervous on my wedding day. Tonya showed up promptly!! This was extremely important to me. She basically was asking me about things that I liked, colors that I like to wear, etc. I was still nervous sitting in the chair, hoping and praying!!
She turned me to that mirror and I was floored. OMG!! I was BEAUTIFUL!! She made me beautiful!! And I genuinely thank her for that. My makeup was flawless and perfect!! I will definitely refer future business to this company!
Elise did my make up for my bridals and did a great job, but was not available for my wedding. Dorothy mad sure that she was available to to my wedding day make up. It turned out a...
mazing. Dorothy did an amazing job. I am so glad that I picked them to do my make up. They are all so sweet and very caring. They will work with you on the look you are trying to achieve. I loved them!
I had Elise (sp) do my makeup for my engagements, bridals, & wedding day. She was so sweet! She made sure that I felt comfortable with my makeup before I walked out the door....
We did some different looks for each session too. I would use them again and I definitely recommend them.
YME was a fabulous hair and make-up artist. I used her services for a trial-run, in which she patiently showed me different options, my bridal portraits and for the day of my weddi...
ng. For the day-of wedding, she also did my daughter's hair. My daughter loved the attention and flowers that she suggested we use in her hair.
I got tons of compliments and the pictures turned out great!
Dorothy was great and the day of my wedding she made me look absolutely beautiful! She was very sweet and enjoyable to talk to. She put me right at ease the day of my wedding. She ...
also did my bridesmaids hair and they looked fantastic. I am very pleased that I went with YME!
I have lived in crosby, tx for my whole life and getting married there was no problem but when me and my b-maids started looking for make up artist everyone seemed to be in houston...
or farther or just unreasonable. My b-mainds paid to have my make up done as a present. I liked Dorthory and her place in highlands was uber girlie! I could not believe that just a town over was a make up artist! She listened to what everyone liked and disliked and we all looked tottally beautiful. Only reason I gave her four stars was because she was late after the contract said if any of us girls were than she charged for that. May be i should have got $50 off lol! If you live in baytown, crosby, highlands or somewhere small check her out.
