Super Communicative and Excellent Work!

Elizabeth was by far my most communicative vendor, which, for an over thinker like me is perfect. She was open to feedback after I was unsure of my trial look, and ended up completely giving me what I asked for on the big day. She was also just really fun to talk to! I chose her because she can do glam in a way where you still look like yourself. Unlike a lot of her clients, I wear glam a lot, and she was still able to give me exactly the style I wanted. Totally recommend!

10/10 Experience - Elizabeth Root

I worked with Elizabeth for my August wedding in Coronado and she exceeded all my expectations. She came as a recommendation from my wedding planner, Jill Hudgins, because I really wanted an artist that specialized in natural make up looks. I was nervous because I don’t really get my make up done and lot and I also have rosacea. When I had my trial with Elizabeth, I was immediately relieved and excited because she absolutely smashed it. She asked me a lot of questions my personal preferences and made me look absolutely beautiful.

On the day of my wedding, I couldn’t have asked for a better energy from her. She did my 5 bridesmaids make up as well as my own and we looked so beautiful. I got compliments all evening about how well my make up lasted as well as how glowing I was. She brought this positive attitude and meshed so well with our group that it seemed like she was just one of our friends.

I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth for any event and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future for events. Thank you, Elizabeth!!

Natural, elevated makeup!

Elizabeth is just a gem of a human and a makeup artist. I had been eyeing her work for a while - she is so versatile and can nail any styles, skin tones, etc. I wanted a more natural, but enhanced look for my wedding day and she executed just that. Not only did the makeup last all day and night, but I felt and looked like myself. Elizabeth is a true professional artist and has the eye for enhancing your natural features. Her calming demeanor also makes you feel so at ease, and was much appreciated on the day of. She was very organized and on top of things planning wise, early to arrive, kept everyone on track, and was such good energy for the getting ready experience. The bridal trial in Point Loma overlooking Sunset Cliffs was just an added bonus to top it all off. If you are looking for an enhanced look, seamless coordination, & soothing vibes, Elizabeth is your girl!

Incredibly Special and Authentic

Picking makeup for my wedding was very stressful for me because I did not want to look "glam" or overdone. I have been a bridesmaid many times and never felt like my best self or even just myself when I looked in the mirror so I was especially nervous to feel unlike me on my own wedding day. I even considered just down my own make-up..

A friend forwarded me Lizzie's contact after I had a bad experience with a HMU trial elsewhere. I kept using the keyword "natural" and that is the opposite of what I was seeing in my searches. I saw Lizzie's portfolio and immediately reached out. I felt so lucky that she was free for my wedding at a very last minutes notice. Her portfolio looked so authentic AND like she understood how to enhance without being overdone. True talent that's honestly hard to come by in the wedding HMU industry.

I did not do a trial with Lizzie because I booked her only a few weeks before and I really felt like from our communication she understood what I wanted. When I met her on my wedding morning, I just knew her energy was right for me.

Lizzie is so authentic, a natural beauty herself and so so extremely talented. She understands skincare and makeup and also she really listens to what your concerns are. Her work shows that she is both truly talented at makeup and just an amazing person!!

SO If you want to feel special AND authentically YOU on your wedding day, you'd be lucky to have Lizzie available to book!

Bridal makeup that feels NATURAL and GORGEOUS

To be totally honest, I knew I wanted Elizabeth to do my wedding makeup before I even met my husband! She did the makeup for my sister-in-law's wedding and my sister's and she is THE BEST. As soon as I had my wedding date, she was the very first vendor that I booked. She's extremely talented. I have always felt so beautiful but also still completely myself when she's done my makeup. I don't wear much makeup normally, and I love a more natural look (but still a bit glam and special). Elizabeth nailed it for me and my whole wedding party. Also, she's so chill and sweet. She brought the BEST energy to the morning of the wedding. And she kept us on schedule. We even made it to the venue a bit early. If you're looking for a stellar makeup artist, LOOK NO MORE.

Also, she did my makeup for our engagement session at the beach, and we ended up in the ocean. My makeup still looked great after swimming in the waves.

Gorgeous natural wedding makeup done by the kindest person!

Elizabeth was SUCH a wonderful individual to add to our dream team of vendors. She was one of the first vendors booked because she had done my makeup at my best friend’s wedding so I knew I loved what she did and I didn’t even bother doing additional research. She’s the best at wedding makeup that is enough for photos but still looks natural at the same time - exactly what I wanted! Besides doing gorgeous makeup she’s a wonderful, calming, kind soul that adds good vibes to your getting ready hangout. Thank you Elizabeth!

Exactly what I wanted!

I knew Elizabeth was the artist for me after she did my sister in laws makeup for her wedding. We all described the style as “still you, but elevated and glowing!”. I went to my makeup trial with Elizabeth, and while I was confident in her talent, you still get nervous when they go to give you the mirror to see the final look! I’ve had bad experiences in the past where I look in the mirror and go “who is that??”. When Elizabeth held up the mirror, I teared up, because it was exactly what I wanted. She not only nailed the makeup look I wanted (color, style, etc) but I looked like ME. Me…but elevated and glowing! The makeup on the day was was no exception. Everyone looked absolutely incredible, natural, and radiant. We all felt gorgeous. I felt so confident, and it lasted ALL NIGHT. Even after some hard dancing and sweating.
Elizabeth is also so sweet, and a calm presence. She a gem, and made us all look amazing.

Beautiful & Natural Makeup!

Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! She made me and my bridal party all feel beautiful while still looking like ourselves. Our makeup looked amazing and lasted through the entire day-even in 80 degree heat! She was so kind and brought such a calm and reassuring vibe on my wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough!

Amazing Makeup Artist!

I hired Liz as my makeup artist for my destination wedding in San Diego for my wedding party and I. She was communicative, prompt and collaborated well with my hair stylist for scheduling our individual time slots. I liked that she was easy going and conversational, which helped ground me on an otherwise hectic day. She also helped me choose a makeup look that suited me well and still looked flawless more than 8 hours later!

I was so pleased with her work that I hired her again to do my makeup for additional wedding photos that we took offsite a few days after the wedding.

Liz helped make my wedding day run seamlessly and I give my highest recommendations for her services!
