Pick Russell, he's it ✨️

Russell was amazing in every way possible! He is such a kind, and funny guy who made the entire bride/make up experience wonderful and light! He has so much energy and kept us laughing all day!

He listened to what I wanted and did exactly as I dreamed! His prices were extremely appropriate considering how great he is, how professional he is AND how popular he is!

I loved his team as well! All of them were so sweet and personable, just like him!

He made sure I had a wonderful, seemless experience, including trial day and day of! He accommodated for schedule changes and made sure I felt like my day was super important.

I would highly recommend him and his amazing team. If you want to feel heard and feel beautiful on your special day, hire Russell. He'll be a friend for life too! 🤍
