The best team!

I can't help but express my excitement! The makeup completely blew me away! I'm not usually one to wear makeup, but she made me look so naturally beautiful while also making me feel like the most stunning woman on the planet! And the hair, oh my goodness! I got extensions for a more princess-like look and it was absolutely stunning! If you want the best, look no further!
En verdad no pude haber echo mejor elección en mi estilista y maquillista son las mejores ! 100 recomendadas!

The Perfect Experience

Transparent pricing, so you knew exactly what you where paying for and the value of the service and products.
Amazing application! I'm a crier and everything stayed on beautifully
on both younger skin and mature! the application was so beautiful that one of my aunts told me she didn't feel this beautiful since her own wedding day over 20 years ago
surprisingly fast for both set up and getting through our large group and making sure to give everyone the care and attention they deserved to make they feel as beautiful as i did and as i saw them.
we emailed ahead that we might have a few more people for hair and makeup and they made sure they had enough staff
truly a dream to work with, everyone was so nice and fun! upbeat and excited about the day as well!

Great experience for wedding beauty!

I recommend working with Luminous Beauty for your wedding beauty needs! I worked with Thadd for makeup and Esther for hair, both for myself and several of my attendants, and they were both amazing! I was happy with my hair and makeup, as was everyone else! Esther and Thadd were very fun to chat with the day of, and made the process very comfortable. Communication with Luminous Beauty was super easy and transparent. They are a great choice for beauty needs!

Beauty Accomplished!

I hired Luminous Beauty to do hair and make-up for myself (bride) and my maid of honor.  I wasn’t expecting to also have such a lovely memorable experience.  The booking and payment process was smooth and professional. The day of we worked with Suzanne who is truly a master of her craft. She was kind enough to accodate a last minute add on person too. Suzanne came to us and did everything on site.  She made each of us feel at ease and we had wonderful conversations with her.  I struggle with body issues and Susanne made me feel beautiful not just because she had done a fabulous job on my hair and make-up, but also because she sees each person’s inner beauty.  Suzanne made it easy to just relax and take pleasure in the experience and this helped set the tone for the rest of the day.  Our entire wedding was magical and Luinous beauty added a sprinkle of that magic.

So Happy with My Choice!

★★★★★

From our very first appointment, Luminous Beauty set the tone for an amazing wedding experience. I did their Wedding Skin Prep beforehand, and it truly cleared my acne—my makeup went on flawlessly and held all day through every hug and happy tear. [I’ll absolutely be keeping up with my facials and skincare routine so I can keep glowing like I did on my wedding day.]

They also worked total magic on my fine hair, creating volume that made it look thick, soft, and beautifully dreamy. I felt confident, radiant, and completely myself—just elevated in the best way. Highly recommend.

They perfectly match your vision!

I found Luminous Beauty through being a bridesmaid in a wedding they did and they are just fantastic at what they do. I love how personable the entire experience was! They were so helpful with making sure my makeup and hair was exactly how I wanted it. It made the wedding day that much easier leaving my hair and makeup to experienced professionals.

Wonderful to work with!

Not only was Betsey so easy to work with, but she was very professional. The quality of their work far exceeds the price they charge, so Luminous Beauty is completely worth it. Also, Betsey does make up for Grinkie Girls boudoir photoshoots, which is a perfect gift for any groom!

Luminous Beauty - 10/10

We found Betsey honestly pretty late in our wedding journey. To our luck because we were getting married on a Thursday, her team was available to support us. I cannot say how grateful we were to have Luminous Beauty for our wedding. Our wedding party was cared for, there was lots of candid laughter, and as someone who does not wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis, Betsey really listened to what I was hoping for and delivered beyond my expectations. The day of the wedding I asked for a few things differently from our trial run and she was more than willing to adjust and I felt so confident and so did my wife. These two queer women give Luminous Beauty 10/10

One Happy Officiant

Betsey was an absolute life-saver when plans to work with a different makeup artist fell through last minute. As the wedding officiant, I knew I had to look fabulous since I’d be in the background of a ton of photos, so I panicked! Thanking my lucky stars that I came across Luminous Beauty’s page. Betsey was so responsive, kind, and made me feel like a VIP. My makeup was beautifully done and exactly what I wanted, and it was still looking just as good over 16 hours later when I took it off that night. 100/10 experience! THANK YOU BETSEY AND LUMINOUS BEAUTY!

Absolutely recommend!

Betsey is a fantastic makeup artist! She did my makeup as exactly as I was envisioning it to look like on my wedding day! She also created a wonderful experience for myself and my family and was really flexible when it came to having them there with me. She and the person who did my hair were incredibly efficient and I felt my best! My hair stayed for 3 days!! I would highly recommend Betsey and Luminous Beauty for your big day!
