Claire is Amazing!

Claire is wonderful!  She did a beautiful job on my bridal and my bridesmaids makeup! For the trial she came to my house, which made it super easy on me in the middle of the wedding planning stress. She understood my vision and was very committed to making sure that I completely happy.  We tried a couple different lip colors during the trial and she checked in a couple days later to make sure that it stayed well all day. Her calming personality was perfect on the morning of the wedding day

The best natural glam!

Claire made me feel like a queen during my wedding! She has truly mastered the elevated natural glam and I never felt like I had too much makeup on or didn't look like myself. She was a great calming presence during the day and everyone who got their makeup done came back feeling gorgeous and relaxed. She kept to schedule and everything went so smoothly. I would highly recommend Claire!

Amazing Makeup Artist

Claire was the best makeup artist! She was so organized and finished everyone’s makeup for the wedding right on schedule. She was so sweet and all of my brides maids loved her. My mom also couldn’t stop raving about everyone’s makeup. She made us all feel very confident and beautiful. Her makeup was flawless and lasted throughout the whole day with no issues. She even gave the bride a touch up kit. I would definitely use Claire again for any makeup needs in the future.

Best makeup artist in San Diego!

Cannot say enough great things about Claire! We hired her to do our wedding makeup for our 3-11-22 wedding at La Valencia in La Jolla and the results were amazing! Claire was kind, responsive, and on time (finished ahead of schedule). None of us wanted anything too over the top and Claire did a great job of making us feel beautiful while still comfortable. Look no further for an amazing makeup artist!

Beyond Talented Makeup Artist

Claire is the best makeup artist I have ever had! Claire did my makeup for my engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She is extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and insanely talented! I had a large bridal party and she tailored everyone's makeup to their preference and everyone looked beautiful!

Claire has a gift for bringing out everyone's natural beauty that will make you feel and look amazing. A huge bonus to working with Claire is she is so friendly and genuinely a great person to be around.

I am looking forward to working with Claire for all future makeup needs!

Claire is AMAZING to work with!

Working with Claire was a dream and I cannot praise her enough for her work and just overall vibe. I planned my wedding from out of state and searched online for recommendations and reviews for hair and makeup artists. A lot of the people I reached out to just emailed me a pricing list, but I found it really important to have a phone conversation about what I wanted and also to get a sense of personality. After all, they’re basically an extension of your bridal party that day since you’re with them for several hours in the morning of your wedding! After my first chat with Claire I knew I wanted to work with her and her pricing was well within the same range of the other quotes I was getting.

I wear makeup everyday, but I’m a very never-worn-fake-eyelashes-before kind of plain Jane. I didn’t want to look overdone on my wedding day to the point where my husband didn’t recognize me and she totally got that. I did a couple trials for hair and make up with Claire and KC and we made changes along the way. They were so easy to talk to and get along with it and everyone looked and felt beautiful on our wedding day. Even my mom, who was dead set against having her makeup done, was soooo excited how it turned out. Subtle yet elegant and enough to hold for the full (very warm) day. She looked and felt absolutely beautiful, which made me feel amazing. My advice for brides that don’t wear a ton of makeup is to speak up. Claire totally listens to what you want and you can tell she really loves what she does. She’s the sweetest person and you’ll be so excited, lucky and overall thrilled to work with her!

Lucky to have had Claire share in our day

I am so thankful that I found Claire to do the hair and makeup services. Claire was responsive, sweet, and accommodating. She was transparent with all of her pricing and services from the start. She is beyond talented with her makeup skills as my bridesmaids helped me find her just from the photos of her work. At the trial, she was super professional. She took photos and notes, and forwarded it to make sure we were on the same page. I also wanted to add that she did great with our Asian eye shapes!! Claire was so accommodating about all of the changes I threw at her up until less than a week before the wedding. She is so sweet and her and her team, KC and Megan, made all of the girls feel comfortable reassuring us that we were in good hands on the wedding day. I had a huge bridal party with 12 of us getting our hair and/or makeup done, including our mothers, which made me nervous about timing for the day. However, we were ahead of schedule at one point! We ended with plenty of time for photos with our photographer. I am so glad Claire and her team spent the morning with us and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants a worry free experience!

Makeup Artist

Claire is the most amazing makeup artist, not only is her talent unreal, but she also has a way of making you feel at ease on what can be a very stressful day. She is so sweet and cares so much about how you truly feel on the most special day of your life. I can not recommend Claire more, hire her, you will be so glad you did!

If Im ever in San Diego for another special occasion I’ll definitely be using her!

10/10 would definitely recommend!!! You won't regret it :)

I was lucky to find Claire when I was a bridesmaid! I loved how well she understood what I wanted, and her prices were very reasonable for my own budget. I was already engaged at the time and immediately requested her for my wedding too! She also came to my apartment the day of my engagement photoshoot to do my wedding trial, which was also perfect! I don't ever wear more than some eyeshadow and mascara, so having my makeup done is pretty foreign to me. Claire did a great job explaining everything and made the whole process easy and comfortable. I loved my all matte, natural look! Overall very happy with my choice of makeup artist and I'm going to insist that all 6 of my unmarried bridesmaids consider her for their future weddings! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!! You won't regret it :)
