Nothing Short of Amazing!
If you want a natural look that will last all night - she’s your new go to!!! I cannot thank her enough - I look forward to booking her again in the future.
An amazing makeup professional, an amazing person!
Once we were able to meet for the trial, I immediately felt relaxed and calm by her presence (and this was about two weeks before the wedding). She listened to me, knew the look I wanted, and also knew what worked best for my complexion, etc. She had music playing, and was very thoughtful and intentional in everything she did. My MOH was with me (my sister) and she fell in love with her, too. I loved the trial makeup and received a ton of compliments— Maria managed to make me look both glam and natural at the same time, which I have not found too easy in a makeup artist.
Maria was also extremely accommodating in ways no other artist was. She had no issue doing the makeup for nearly my entire party, and quickly hired another (amazing) artist for the wedding. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she could charge much more and she gives great deals if you want to buy any of the makeup. My bridesmaids were thrilled when I told them the cost AND that she was willing to come to the venue the morning of the wedding to help me and all of us get ready.
The morning of my wedding was a bit chaotic, and I so appreciated/ needed the calming vibes of Maria! She brought her music with me, helped me calm down, and her kindness and joy radiated! She did an excellent job with all of the bridal party, and took so much time with me to make sure i looked perfect for the day. I felt so beautiful and looked so beautiful in her hands.
I HIGHLY recommend Maria for any occasion / especially a wedding, which can feel so high-stakes!! I look forward to having another event in which I need to do my makeup just to hang out with her again and have another chance to look both glamorous and natural. Thank you so much!☺️
Fast, professional & did an excellent job
