You got the winners right here!

Portia and Amber were so awesome! They did hair and makeup for myself, my mom and my bridesmaids. They make such a great team, they’re so nice and were very attentive and patient. My bridesmaids and I got along so well with them it was like having friends do our hair and makeup. Highly recommend them!!

Loved my hair and makeup

Portia and Amber were great! Fair pricing, very responsive, and they were both so fun. I did a hair and makeup trial before my wedding and they listened to anything I wanted to change. My hair and makeup came out great the day of and lasted all night. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely Perfect!

Portia and Amber are amazing! My entire bridal party looked stunning! My bridal makeup came out better than I could have imagined. It was very natural and did not look cakey at all. It sat well also and lasted the entire night. I felt and looked so beautiful. I would recommend Portia and Amber to anyone for their hair or makeup needs.

Best experience she was the best

I honestly could not have asked for a better makeup artist on my wedding day. From the very beginning, she truly listened to everything I wanted and made me feel completely understood. I had a specific vision in mind, and she didn’t just meet it she absolutely nailed it.
She paid attention to every little detail, made me feel so comfortable, and brought such a calm, positive energy to the whole experience. My makeup lasted all day and night, looked flawless in person and in photos, and still felt like me just elevated.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, listens, and delivers beyond expectations, she is it. I’m so grateful she was part of such a special day!

Natural, Comfortable and Stress Free

Amber and Portia were amazing on my wedding day. They made me feel so comfortable and were really easy to communicate with. They also accommodated my schedule for the trial, which I really appreciated.

I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup, but I loved the airbrushed feel, Portia made it look natural while still making me feel elevated and confident. They both listened to my feedback and made adjustments so I felt completely like myself.

They also made my family feel comfortable, which meant a lot to me since getting ready with my mom and sisters was one of my favorite parts of the day.

My hair and makeup lasted all day and night, no touchups done in the photos. I would definitely recommend them to any bride!

Hire AP Beauty! Portia is the best!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Portia for my wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I already had someone doing my hair, so Portia was my makeup artist. From our first interaction, her communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring—making the entire process seamless. On the day of the wedding, she arrived right on time, fully prepared, and brought such a calm, friendly energy that instantly put me at ease. She was great with listening to feedback and my mom was also pleased with her makeup look. Her professionalism and warmth made the experience so enjoyable, and her talent speaks for itself. She created a beautifully natural look that made me and my wedding party feel like the best version of ourselves. It was also 117 degrees out in Palm Springs and my makeup stayed put through the night. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Perfect wedding day makeup

I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, and on my wedding day I wanted to look very much like "me," but, you know, better. I also didn't want to spend tons and tons of money. I'm really glad I found Portia to do makeup for me and three of my bridesmaids. People told me all day how pretty I looked and I kept saying, "Thanks, it's the makeup!" All of us felt so pretty. She was also very communicative through the whole booking and trial process and was very flexible about changing a few things about my look between the trial and the event. Highly recommend!

Perfection!!

If you want one less thing to stress about as a bride look no further than AP Beauty. Portia was a godsend in the makeup department. Not only did she make my mom, aunt and MOH look gorgeous, she made my makeup a dream come true. I went into the day not entirely sure what I wanted with just a few inspo pictures and Portia made that come to life and more. My makeup stayed all day long. I sweat like crazy when I’m nervous and Portia’s makeup look didn’t budge. Myself and my mom (who knows my skin) were beyond impressed. I would recommend AP beauty for any makeup look you need.
