I have had my makeup done so many times where I didn't care for it, so I did a lot of research before I contacted Liz. Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is such a warm person. I had one trial with her and decided to try a dramatic look. She did a gorgeous job, but I later decided I shouldn't try to go too far beyond my usual look for my wedding day. I knew that I wanted to use Liz, so I asked her if I could do a second trial to go with a more natural look. She suggested trying a different makeup and I loved it. Liz scheduled me in even during a very difficult time with her family and even came to my location. The day of the wedding, she was very professional and brought an assistant to help with all the bridesmaids. I really felt beautiful, and the makeup held up all day long without touch-ups - even in the rain! On top of being truly talented, Liz also has a very calming presence, something that is highly valued on your wedding day!

Liz was amazing! I absolutely loved my makeup for my wedding! Everyone commented on it! She also did several of my bridesmaids and even my mom who never wears makeup. She made us all feel super comfortable and she knew exactly what colors looked best on everyones skin. I have used for her other occasions as well and she will always be my go to makeup girl!

I am a hair and makeup stylist myself so you can imagine how extremely picky I was in selecting my makeup artist for my very own wedding! Liz was honestly a blessing and the very best decision i made throughout all of my wedding planning! Not only is she amazing at makeup but she is so genuine, so caring, so flexible and just overall an amazing person! If you want you and your wedding party to be absolutely stunning she should be your first choice! Thanks a million Liz!

Liz was awesome through and through. I felt as though she made me feel like a friend rather than just another client. My wedding day was perfect thanks to her services, my makeup was absolutey gorgeous as well as my bridesmaids. Liz arrived before my scheduled time which made my day easier. Overall Liz will always be one of my best memories of my wedding day.

I was fortunate enough to find vendors that I love. The one area that stressed me out the most was booking a make up artist. I do not have enough fingers to count how many make up artists I've emailed, inquired, contacted, looked at etc. Most of the make up artists I've called would tell me they are available but then then email me later on to say they've booked another wedding and their lead artists would have to do my make up instead then later on email me and say their junior artists would have to do my make up instead. Some of them offer free trials but I live in Anaheim and the free trial is all the way in the City of Industry at 3 pm (traffic) or Pasadena. I was very close to saying forget it and doing my own makeup instead. But, I tried one more time and I came across Liz's website. I knew she was different right away because she responded to me within a day. She was full of information and she kept it simple and to the point. We scheduled a free trial and when I asked her where to meet her, she said she would actually be coming to me!!!! She did my free trial and my sister in law and I had a blast. She is a character! She is funny and witty. She is a very entertaining person and I felt very comfortable sitting on the make up chair while she worked her magic. She knows make up very well! I immediately booked her and on my wedding day, she was on time and professional. Everyone loved my makeup and I had Liz to thank for all of it!

Make up by Liz is amazing. I would recommend her for any event that you want to look absolutely stunning for! She did my makeup for my engagement pictures and my wedding day, both times it looked perfect. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I got on my wedding day about my makeup and compliments when people see our pictures! She is so talented and really listens to exactly what you want. I would HIGHLY recommend make up by Liz :)
