She was extremely professional. She worked with each of the bridesmaids in my mom’s wedding to make sure they had to look that they wanted she made everyone feel comfortable. The bride looked stunning.!! She is truly a gem.

Wedding and special events

I cannot recommend Monica enough for wedding hair and makeup! She was punctual, professional, and truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and about her clients.

What I appreciated most is her natural approach to makeup—I still felt like myself on my wedding day and didn’t look unrecognizable, which can be hard to find with makeup artists these days. That said, she is incredibly versatile and will absolutely deliver any look you’re going for, whether it’s soft and natural or full glam. I felt beautiful, relaxed, and completely taken care of. I’m so grateful I chose her for such an important day!

Monica is magic! 💖

There aren’t enough kind words to describe Monica and the talent, professionalism and care she brings to her work. One of my bridesmaids booked Monica as a wedding gift for my big day, and what a true gift it was to work with her. Monica took the time to truly get to know me, my preferences, and what style of makeup made ME feel most beautiful. Her attention to detail is outstanding, matched only by her warmth and care for her clients as individuals. I cannot recommend Monica enough! Not only did I feel the most beautiful I ever have in my life, but I had a calm, relaxed experience, knowing I was in great hands! I can keep going on and on about how great she is, but to sum it up, BOOK HER!! You won’t regret it 💓

The perfect Makeup Artist for your perfect day

My wedding was the first time I ever considered getting my makeup done professionally, and having Monica be a part of that experience was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. I found her on Instagram and loved her work, but I didn't feel confident that I could look as incredible as some of the women she posted. I still needed a Makeup Artist and decided to take the chance.

Before my trial, Monica gave me a questionnaire with everything you could possibly think to ask a client. I was shocked at the amount of details that were in it. These were questions that I didn't even think would pertain to my makeup. When I first did my trial, Monica was so sweet. She made sure I had coffee, food, and I could listen to any type of music I wanted. She curated an experience that I wanted and was comfortable with. She walked me through every step of the way and gave me tips on how to take care of my skin to look my best. I learned so much about myself that I will be able to use for the rest of my life. (I even have more of a skincare routine)

I fell in love with the look, and Monica took pictures so that she could recreate it the day of. Monica kept in touch with me and noted the things she wanted to change, looking back. I trusted her, knowing how much passion she had behind making it perfect for my day.

The day of, she was not only early but prepared. Everything you could think of was finished and ready to go for the day. I had no stress and when I looked at myself in the mirror, every detail was perfect.

Not only was every part of my makeup perfect, but she did my SIL and MIL's makeup. Monica listened to what they wanted and their concerns. She made sure to hear them and address all questions. When their makeup was finished, they told me how good of a job she did and how everything was amazing.

Thank you Monica for being the incredible artist and person you are. My wedding wouldn't have been perfect without you.

The BEST makeup artist

Monica was an absolute JOY to work with. We worked together throughout my whole engagement and by the end she seemed more like a friend than just a makeup artist. She is kind, personable and hilarious and truly cares about making you feel and look your absolute BEST on your big day. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and she brought every vision I had for my wedding day makeup to life. Look no further!!! Monica is your girl. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

The Only Makeup Artist I Trust for Life’s Biggest Moments

I cannot recommend Monica enough! My sister originally found her, and after getting my make up done by her for my sisters wedding, I booked her for my wedding—and I’m already excited to have her again for my baby shower. What I love most is how effortlessly she understands the look I’m going for, even when I can’t fully describe it myself. I completely trusted her expertise, and she created the exact style I had envisioned but couldn’t put into words. She made my blue eyes pop in a way I’ve never seen before, and I felt so confident and beautiful all day. Not to mention the make up stayed perfectly all day/night without looking caking, greasy or runny. Beyond her talent, she is incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely calming to be around—exactly the kind of energy you want during important moments. She doesn’t just do your makeup; she makes you feel comfortable, cared for, and truly special. If you’re looking for someone who is both skilled and heartfelt in what they do, look no further. She’s absolutely amazing!

Wedding Makeup

Monica was extremely professional from our first encounter to our last. We did a makeup trial for my wedding and I immediately knew that she was going to be the artist to do my makeup for my wedding. She is so nice and made me feel so beautiful! She listened to what I was looking for in a makeup look and nailed it the first try. I would recommend her to anybody who is looking for a reliable, professional, and skilled makeup artist!

Monica does excellent bridal makeup and makes you feel so comfortable during the process too! My makeup trial with her went amazingly well and I can't wait until my wedding day to see her in action again. She's also done the makeup for some of my brides and they always look gorgeous!
