Very happy bride

Stephanie was amazing! Communication was always prompt and clear when booking her services for my wedding on 11/5/22. She arrived and was ready to go! Brought everything she needed including lighting and a chair. She preps the skin and under the eyes before applying any makeup. At the end she gave me a little goodie bag with makeup remover, qtips, a blotter to put in my bouquet to dab my eyes when I cried during the ceremony and my own full sized lip liner and gloss to refresh my lips throughout the night! She is extremely professional and was so sweet to me and all my bridesmaids.

Brides book GlambyAlvarez for you and your bridal party!

Stephanie was professional but at the same time made me feel like she was just a friend doing my make up! Her conversation is a stress reducer rather she knows it or not! “Drink your mimosa” lol, something she said when my nerves was getting every part of my body worked up, I still laugh thinking about that response because it was simple and needed. From the bridal trial to my actual big day Stephanie was responsive, down to earth, understanding, and hears what you say YOU want and executes it. If I could do it all over again I would book her 100x! She also worked on my bridal party and each face looked amazing!

Book stephanie please!

We had an amazing experience with Stephanie and her team! Aside from having an excellent price for service, she was flexible and amenable to having her team do 13 makeup looks in just 5 hours (bride, 9 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and flower girl!). My bridesmaids and I all had different skin types and tones—yet Stephanie, Princess, and Ashley were able to capture my exact makeup vision for all of the ladies in record time. Especially kudos to Stephanie as she was able to match my exact dark skin tone AND made my identical twin sister (who is also dark skinned) look just as beautiful as me. She also matched the tone for my fair skinned sister-in-law and tan-skinned maid of honor EXACTLY. Ashley and Princess were also exceptional—they did not have the inspiration photos available beforehand so I was worried they would not match Stephanie’s work. But I was so wrong! They took one quick look at each inspiration photo and then matched the EXACT look for my other bridesmaids and the mothers. All 13 of us were absolutely obsessed with our final looks and couldn’t have been happier with the turnout. I’ve personally never looked more beautiful in my life! I also really appreciated their flexibility and patience with the cramped space and my anxieties/tension about the day—the three artists worked quietly and quickly but would check on us and sing along with us to the music to help calm me down. They were all extremely professional and had a great read on the room. Surprisingly, none of them even took a break—they worked nonstop, standing for hours! Bonus: Stephanie also provided me with an emergency makeup touch-up kit for the day that I didn’t even need to use! My makeup stayed put for the entire 12 hours of my event! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and wish everyone everywhere would book them!

Absolutely Amazing

Stephanie is absolutely amazing. Stephanie came through the door and went straight to work. She is extremely professional and talented. The day I went to my bridal trial I knew I had made the best choice when choosing Stephanie for my wedding. She made me feel comfortable and most importantly absolutely beautiful. I will highly recommend Stephanie to everyone. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Stephanie!

Highly Reccomend

I hired Stephanie for bridal make up. We did a trial at her home. I showed her an inspo picture and she made it happen. Her make up techniques are amazing, has anyones skin looking so soft and smooth. The make up also photographs extremely well which is very important. She came to my parents house the morning of my wedding, was on time and did 8 members make up, all stunning. Highly recommend!
