Crazy talented and genuinely the best friend you need by your side on your wedding day!

Gabrielle’s makeup is flawless, she is amazing at what she does. Not only is she so talented but she is the most genuine and beautiful soul. Having her in the room is like having a safe place and a little cheerleader in your corner. So thankful to have worked with her!!

Gabrielle is amazing!

If you are looking for a makeup artist, look no further! I contacted Garbreille after I had a negative experience with a make up company that I previously used. Gabrielle has a bubbly personality and made me feel so special and gorgeous.The photos posted are my first session with her. I can’t wait to see my makeup on my wedding day and will post an update! Gabrielle also does microblading and micro shading eyebrows. She was able to correct my brows from a previous artist and did an amazing job. Check out her instagram page! If you have any doubt, just give her a try! You won't be disappointed 💕

Super Sweet. Gabrielle is a master blender when it come to matching all skin types, tones, and minor scars. Very efficient, quick and thorough. Elle Beaute Events is the only make up artist I refer to all of my Brides.
