Fave MUA!!

Lucas has been my favorite makeup artist to date. For a girl who does not wear too much face makeup, Lucas made me comfortable and truly delivered on an elevated, but natural glam look. Nonetheless, he is warm, personable, and fun to get ready with. My sister & crew were all very happy with their looks.

Best decision!

I'm so happy that I chose to work with Lucas for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding!!! Not only does he do flawless makeup, but he also has the best energy and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. He particularly saved the day when I was still recovering from a bad facial prior to my rehearsal dinner...his calming attitude and amazing makeup skills were just what I needed! 10/10 recommend!

Beyond Beautiful Bridal Glam

Lucas is absolutely a dream to work with. I am typically a no-makeup person and wanted to look and feel like myself on my wedding day. Not only did Lucas deliver the world's best glam that made me feel so beyond beautiful, he was fun, kind, and full of suggestions and advice that made the day even better. Several of my family members got their make-up done by him, and every single one was obsessed with the outcome. Lucas was timely, communicative, responsible, generous, and a true delight. I cannot sing his praises enough. Run don't walk to book him!

Lucas is the best of the best.

Lucas was truly spectacular to work with. He was by FAR my favorite vendor of the 10+ vendors I had to hire for our wedding. I hired Lucas after I had a terrible trial with my makeup artist and needed to find someone with just a few months notice - and it was one of the best decisions I made related to my wedding. In addition to his gorgeous natural makeup style, he brought such incredible energy to my wedding day. He has a calming, fun, positive vibe that put me so at ease throughout my wedding day. He goes above and beyond to problem solve throughout the day - he fixed my hair when my hairstylist left, brought me champagne after we signed our ketubah, took tons of amazing photos and videos of us, and even entertained my nieces while we got ready. Anyone would be so lucky to work with him!!

Incredible!

Lucas was absolutely amazing as my wedding makeup artist! He had such great energy on the day of the wedding, making everyone feel comfortable and listened to. He perfectly executed each person’s makeup exactly how they wanted it, and not a single person had to adjust or touch up their look—a huge feat with my group of friends and family! Everyone felt so beautiful. Lucas was efficient, talented, and just all-around incredible. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Best Experience Ever

I was very nervous to choose a make up artist for my wedding because I don’t wear make up regularly. However, I knew I wanted help looking a little extra polished for my wedding photos, etc. I booked Lucas from a friend’s recommendation based on her rave review and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met Lucas at my trial, I was immediately put at ease. He is SO nice and personable, asked great questions to really get to the crux of what I wanted, and gave me tons of opportunities to review his work and make sure I felt comfortable. He was responsive and clear in all his communications, and I ADORED having him with me on my wedding day. As an anxious bride, it was so comforting to have Lucas there to touch up my look if I started to cry. He was so kind and honestly I’m searching for reasons I need to use a make up artist in the future so I can work with him again!

Lucas is the BEST

Lucas is literally the best. The work he does is perfection, and he’s so patient and the kindest human. Lucas treated me like a queen all day for my wedding. I will be having Lucas give me a tutorial for how I can do my own makeup (which he also offers!)!!! Thank you Lucas

Wedding 9.1.24

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lucas for my wedding, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I made.

From our first consultation, he made me feel completely at ease and truly listened to my vision.

What stood out the most was his warm personality and professionalism. It felt more like hanging out with a friend/family member than a typical appointment.

On the big day, I was blown away by the final look! I’ve never felt so confident and beautiful. The makeup was flawless and lasted all day, even through hours of dancing. Lucas has a remarkable talent for enhancing natural beauty while making sure you feel like the best version of yourself.

If you’re looking for a talented makeup artist who genuinely cares about their clients, Lucas is your guy!

Lucas, thank you for helping to make my wedding day unforgettable! I hope to work with you again soon.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
