Ana was amazing. She was punctual and our makeup looked fabulous. It stayed on for 12 hours without any touching up!

Ana was spectacular! I rarely wear makeup, so my husband was concerned when I wanted to hire a makeup artist. He was worried that I was going to look too "done up." But he said that when I walked down the aisle I looked gorgeous but still like myself.

Ana provided makeup services for me, my mother, my sister and two bridesmaids in under 2.5 hours in the early morning and it lasted throughout the day's events (and we had a lot of tears of joy). She is very professional and very talented. And of all the trials that I had, she was the only one who really seemed to listen to what I wanted while still providing her professional expertise (a lot of other places kept making me look over-the-top despite my repeatedly telling them that I wanted a natural look for a daytime wedding). With Ana, the makeup totally made me look fantastic, while still natural and understated.

Ana was talented, prompt, professional, and friendly. I live in Seattle and my wedding was in Virginia so I was left to find all my vendors online and hope they were reliable and skilled. I definately lucked out with Ana and would recommend her to anyone in need of a makeup artist...especially one who can travel to the ceremony/reception site. It made the day much less stressful to have my vendors come to me. Thanks Ana!

Ana did such a wonderful job of making myself, the bridesmaids as well as my mom look their best for the wedding. I got so so many compliments on my makeup and how it looked so natural and I really felt she helped me look my best on my wedding day. Ana was great with giving me suggestions and explaining which looks would enchance my features, and she was prompt with being there at the requested time. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you for doing such a great job :)

Ana did a great job on my makeup, and the makeup of one of my bridesmaids. She was on time, and took her time, but finished with plenty of time to spare. My makeup stayed flawless (loved the airbrush foundation) from the time I had it done (10am) until the end of the reception (11pm). She even brought an assistant even though there were only 2 of us being done. I'd definitely recommend Ana and her team.

Ana was a delight to work with! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day as did all of my bridesmaids. I was interested in a very natural look for my wedding, which she gave me. I never felt like I had too much makeup caked on, but still felt beautiful. Ana brings an assistant with her on the wedding day and they work together quickly and efficiently to get all the girls done in time. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to look and feel fabulous on their big day!

Ana was wonderful to work with. She was very patient during out trial and tried out many variations of what I thought I wanted for my wedding makeup. Both at the trial and on wedding day she took her time, but still kept within my timeline/time constraints. Ana was on time for wedding day, and kept us right on our timeline. During the wedding planning, Ana was very responsive and flexible with my requests. Everything I wanted was accomodated and addressed very quickly. I really appreciate Ana's services and help throughout and on wedding day. I would highly recommend Ana to any bride!

She was awesome and I really really recomend her for any future brides (or anyone who wants professional make-up)! Thank you for everything Ana!

Ana was wonderful to work with. She is such a nice person and makes you feel very comfortable. Her make-up trials are inexpensive and she even did my mothers for free and gave us both the fake lashes included in the trial! The make up was better then I even hoped for and looked great in the pictures. I was concerned about my face looking oily because it was a hot day and we were outside for the ceremony but she made sure that did not happen. She is affordable, easy to reach and was early the day of the wedding. Also, I did not book her for my bridesmaids but they liked the fake eyelashes and she was kind enough to stay around extra to add on lashes for the girls. Ana is just great and I highly recommend her.

Ana did an amazing job on the makeup for my wedding party. She was easily able to accomodate myself plus 7 other women. She brought along an assistant to make sure that everything moved along efficiently and she was able to come to the hotel that I was at, and do everyone's makeup there, for no additional cost. My mom and I both had trials with Ana and loved them. All the girls in my wedding party loved their makeup. Ana suggested that we try false eyelashes. None of us had ever worn them before, but I am so glad that they did. Ana used eyelashes that looked natural and each girl and the pictures came out amazing! Ana was also able to do makeup for my 88 year old grandmother that looked amazing. It meant so much to see my grandmother look so beautiful again. It was very hot and humid waiting in the church and my makeup stayed perfect all night! I am so pleased with the job that Ana did and I would definitely recommend her!

Ana was great! After the trial, I went home and decided that I wanted her to make some changes to my look for the wedding day. I e-mailed her and she was happy to make the changes I wanted. On my wedding day, my make-up was absolutely perfect! Just what I wanted. She was on time and finished on time as well. Just a wonderful person to work with and so cheerful. I would highly recommend Ana. Having her come to your site relieves TONS of stress off the bride.

Ana was fabulous to work with - she did a fantastic job at both the trial and on my wedding day. My makeup looked fabulous and stayed on all day. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and fun! I usually don't wear a lot of makeup and she did a great job of making me still look like "me" - but better! I highly recommend her services for any event.
