Best makeup artist you could ask for!

Cynthia is absolutely amazing and left me feeling and looking my absolute best on my wedding day. I’m so grateful for Cynthia, she was very professional, had such a warm personality, and ensured that me and my bridesmaids got what we wanted to look our absolute best. I hired Cynthia for my wedding day and it was the best decision that I made. She definitely makes sure you feel good with her work and always make sure that you’re comfortable. I have already recommended her to other friends getting married and they have booked her! 10/10 recommend her for your event.

Amazing Bridal Hair & Makeup!

Cynthia did an incredible job with our bridal makeup! She stepped in on a short timeline and made the entire process feel effortless from the start. She arrived on time, fully prepared, and brought such a calm, professional presence that immediately put everyone at ease. Her talent truly speaks for itself. Our makeup looked flawless, elegant, and photographed beautifully throughout the day. She paid attention to every detail and made sure we all felt confident and beautiful. Cynthia is the definition of a true professional, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride looking for someone talented, reliable, and wonderful to work with.

Wedding Hair and Makeup Magic!

Cynthia and Heather were the best wedding hair and makeup team that I have ever worked with! I’ve been in 6+ weddings for friends, and never was a team so organized, on time, and kind.

To: Cynthia and Heather,

My hair and makeup was beyond perfect! All my guests said I was glowing! The makeup was a perfect elevated bridal glam, and the highlights really made my eyes show up in photos, without looking like I had tons of makeup on. Cynthia really brought out my best features and managed to match my newly tanned skin tone color perfectly. The makeup and hair lasted ALL day, in spite of all the sweat and beach night air. And my hair?! It was exactly what I wanted 👩‍🍳💋😍🤩 Heather somehow managed to set curls that endured the beach front night air 6+ hours!

Truly you two were a highlight of my wedding and helped me turn my frown upside down. Thank you thank you, for going the extra mile and 6 flights of stairs and atrocious parking!

To top it all off, in the scheme of wedding hair and makeup pricing was on point! Other places would charge bride $800 day of hair makeup and trial and all said and done I paid about half! Very affordable, and their personalities, energy and execution of my exact requests was amazing!

October Wedding

I had a total of 10 people getting their makeup done for my wedding-Cynthia was AMAZING! She went me a timeline and and invoice in a timely manner, answered any questions I had and was just all around great! The morning of my wedding she showed up on time with another amazing MUA, Miguel. Who was also just as amazing! Overall great experience, would definitely recommend! :)

Gorgeous!!

Thank you SO much for doing such an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding. It lasted all day and through the night looking gorgeous. I only needed to touch my lips once or twice! I also appreciated you keeping me calm during the morning with your funny stories and jokes. I had soft glam and I didn’t feel like it was too much makeup. The photos turned out gorgeous as well. Thank you again!!

She will be my go to for makeup

Hired her for my daughter’s quinceañera and we absolutely loved it. It was a group of us and everyone felt beautiful. We scheduled a trial and she worked with my teen daughter because she is very picky about her makeup. The makeup was exactly what we wanted and it lasted all day/night even in 100 degree weather. The day of her and her assistant arrived on time and her set up is clean and professional. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing artist

I can't recommend Cynthia enough. The quality of her work is outstanding my skin looked radiant and the makeup felt light yet provided amazing coverage. It photographed beautifully and most importantly it held up perfectly throughout hours of celebration. Her calm demeanor and professionalism were also a huge asset on a busy day. Absolutely thrilled with results
