Russell and his team were amazing!! They were on time, friendly, and easy to work with. Russell is such a people person and keeps everyone laughing all morning long! From the trial to wedding day, Russell was incredibly responsive to what I wanted my makeup to look like. My makeup on wedding day was STUNNING!! It lasted all night and I received so many compliments, which is truly all a bride could ask for!!

Russell came highly recommend to me by my wonderful and talented bridal hair stylist Katie McGee. Knowing her talent and her standards, I had no doubt that Russell was going to be exceptional. It was when Russell told me 'my goal is to enhance your natural beauty' that I knew I wanted him to be my 'makeup man' for my wedding. I had a vision to look like my natural self so this comment just resonated with me. I was soon to find out that I struck gold with Russell.

I began working with Nicole to book my trial and makeup services for myself, my bridesmaids, MOB and MOG. She was so responsive, flexible and professional, especially with my ever changing requests. Russell then took over with scheduling and communication and continued to stay so responsive, organized, and professional as he put so much energy into learning about me and my vision.

Fast forward to my trial, lets just say it was one great experience. Russell explained EVERYTHING to me... what he was doing, the reason for the way he was doing things, the reason for the colors he was picking. He also educated me on makeup application and skin care so that I could enhance my own day-to-day routine (which needed a tune-up). Russell also made my trial so personable and I felt like part of his family the second I walked in with his warm welcome. Russell made it obvious my face wasn't just another palate for the day. Russell took his time to get to know me as a whole person and then moved on to learning my vision for my makeup. Lets just say I left my trial that day speechless because my makeup has never looked so good. The icing on the cake; I was just an enhanced version of myself.

Between my trial and wedding day, Russell continued communication and check-ins which showed me the preparation and energy he was putting in to make my special day even more special.

Wedding day came and so did Russell's birthday. Yes everyone, Russell gave up HIS special day for me - what an absolute honor! Russell and one of his team members Hitomi truly enhanced the beauty of all 10 of us ladies. Even with 10 ladies, they completed everyone's makeup timely and we never felt rushed. Russell also brought SO much energy, enthusiasm, and just added so much fun to the morning.

Now lets talk about how our makeup not only stayed on, but looked fresh and flawless ALL day long. I even got pictures in the rain, we all broke more than just a small sweat on the dance floor, and the makeup.... looked flawless all....night..... long! And let me note how light the makeup felt that you even forgot you had makeup on!

Not only does Russell have such an amazing talent, but it is so obvious he is so passionate, dedicated, and loves what he does. He cares about each and every one of his clients as a person, and takes the time to make for a personable experience. It is so obvious that Russell is also such a family guy which spoke even more volume to me about his amazing personality.

I truly thank Russell for making me feel like a beautiful version of myself, he is truly exceptional.

I first met Russell when I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding in 2019 and knew when the time came for my own wedding, he was who I wanted to work with! Not only does he do amazing work (that you will never want to wash off), he and his team are professional, punctual, and will ensure the morning of you wedding day runs seamlessly!
