absolutely gorgeous job

Elena did an absolutely gorgeous job on my wedding makeup. When I met her for my trial, she looked at some of my inspiration photos, asked questions about my dress and the wedding, and crafted an amazing look based on my ideas and her own expertise on what would suit me (and the overall vibe of my wedding) best. When the big day rolled around, she came prepared, on time and ready to do makeup for myself, my sister, my aunt and my friend. She finished everybody on schedule, all the while chatting with us and having fun. Getting ready rooms can be stressful but this one was so chill, due in large part to Elena exuding a capable air and just being cool to hang out with, and receptive to what each of us wanted. Elena impressed me with the gorgeous, dramatic eye makeup for my friend who loves a bold look, and she also made my elderly aunt look and feel beautiful as well. And I loved the vintage inspired look she created for me—it was just want I wanted (with the perfect amount of lashes that looked striking but not unnatural, something I appreciated in my photos). Very importantly, we all looked polished and special but still like ourselves, our best selves, which is key. My makeup stayed on point from noon until I got back to my hotel at midnight, too (and she provides you with a touch up which is so helpful). As someone who retouches wedding photos for a living, I can tell you that my skin didn’t need much post production work largely because the makeup was applied so well. Being creative, on time, friendly, able to think on their feet and delivering long wearing looks that were unique to our personalities are just a few things that make me positive it was the right call hiring Elena for my wedding. I would absolutely call again for any upcoming events I may have in the future.

absolutely inspiration

Elena recently did my hair & makeup for my wedding. She is such a fun person and it felt natural to have her in the room with us while my bridal party was getting ready. She made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! My wedding party & I partied all night and my makeup & hair still looked flawless the following morning(20+ hours later!). She also did my bridesmaid's hair & even helped them with their flower crowns & lashes. I didn't really know exactly what I wanted for my hair/makeup, so I just showed her some photos for inspiration and she was able to use her artistic eye to come up with something perfect for me! I would 100% recommend Elena!!

Thank you to Elena for the amazing job she did on my makeup for my vow renewal. I received many compliments on my makeup and looked better than I did on my actual wedding day. Thanks for the added convenience of coming directly to room and accommodating my last minute request. Elena is the best!!!!

fabulous fantastic work

Elena did my makeup for a friend's wedding recently, and I got so many compliments that I got in touch with her to tell me the makeup she used on me and help me learn to apply it through a video chat! She is fantastic to work with and really did a great job on my makeup - it looked natural and it lasted throughout a long, rainy wedding day. I would highly recommend Elena to anyone who wants to look and feel fabulous!!

She exceeded my expectations

I am so glad I chose Elena to do my prom makeup. I loved the soft looking eye look you created. I wanted black smoky makeup but I was worried that it will look heavy. But you exceeded my expectations! I love the final look! Thank you Elena 😘🌹🌹🌹

Elena is an incredible makeup artist. I had an important interview and she made me look neat, competent, and confident. She was encouraging and supportive throughout the whole process. She also helped me with makeup lessons. Her wealth of knowledge, coupled with amazing skill and patience, I am loving putting on makeup every day. She prepares you to look gorgeous, inside and out. I recommend her to everyone! She will make you the most beautiful and confident version of yourself!

extremely professional

I used Elena during a recent vacation. My best friend and I wanted to get our makeup done before a night out, and Elena was recommended to us by a friend who used her services previously.

Booking her was easy and she was very receptive to what we wanted. She was extremely professional and sanitary with her products too. She did exactly what we wanted for our hair and makeup. I had saved a few photos to show her, and what she did looked even better! She really has immense talent with makeup and I felt so pretty all night. She was super sweet and friendly too.
If you're looking to hire a makeup artist, you really cannot go wrong with Elena .

INSANELY talented makeup artist

Elena - while an obviously INSANELY talented makeup artist and hair stylist - also has to be one of the sweetest, most genuine, supportive, diligent individuals in the industry. I hired Elena for my wedding makeup/hair and can honestly say she made my wedding day the best day of my life. She is punctual, charming, talented as hell and will always make your preferences the priority with flawless execution. She is above and beyond the rest. To look any further would be a serious lapse in judgement. I have no words for how grateful I am for her immense talent, kind heart and beautiful soul inside and out. 6/5 stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 ❤️❤️
