Absolutely Magic!

Nancy is an absolute gem! Her makeup skills are exceptional and she is VERY knowledgeable. She was responsive and professional all while being personable throughout the whole process. She really listened when I provided look and feel, as well as my concerns with my sensitive skin, and dark and puffy under eye circles. And WOW, I could not have been happier with my results. I felt my most beautiful and confident self the day of, and my make up last all day and night. I would gladly recommend and hire Nancy again for another occasion.

Choose Nancy to make you feel MORE beautiful - she is AMAZING!!!

If you’re having a challenge finding the right makeup artist, don’t skip over Nancy!!!! It’s obvious that your makeup and final look is critical to your wedding day or event where you’re the star of the show.

I have always coveted the natural glow and have not been one to use a lot of makeup, so this was a tough search for me. Most makeup artists I inquired with stated I had to commit to a contract and deposit prior to any kind of trial, which was frustrating as this service is not cheap! Nancy was receptive to getting me in for a trail, and almost immediately as I was anxious to lock this service in. Not only was she quick to respond, accommodating with my requests and genuinely kind, but she was incredibly knowledgeable with my makeup sensitivity, encouraged what look would best enhance my facial features and she is talented beyond belief.

I had a trial a week prior where I left feeling like a doll. I left Nancy’s trial feeling simply beautiful, and knew she was a perfect fit for my wedding day. Not only did she make me feel gorgeous on my big day, but my bridesmaids and mother in law have not stopped raving about how great she was! So grateful for your talent and contribution to making my wedding day so wonderful, Nancy. Thank you!!!

Glowing and beautiful! Even after a long day!

I can’t even begin to describe how incredible Nancy & Lindsey were in beautifying up my bridesmaids, MIL, Mom, and I. After years of experience they really knew what they were doing on the day of. I had a make up trial with Nancy done about four months before my wedding day and my indecisiveness made me a bit worried about how it’s end up looking on the actual day if im being honest. Nancy was so patient and so reassuring that even when I had to change up my trial look a couple of times, she didn’t even blink an eye. She has so much product knowledge and knows how to make adjustments based on what you’re working with and also have recommendations for products you use at home that she has in her kit.

On the day-of, her and her 2nd artist Lindsey, were on time and ready to rock in a matter of minutes. I felt like the most beautiful person on my special day. Glowy, glam makeup for a magical day! All of my bridesmaids loved how their make up turned out and quote “felt like princesses” lol 😂 my mom and my MIL really loved theirs too!

All looks did not budge throughout the entire night. I reapplied with my own lipstick a couple of times, but that’s about it. I may or may not have also fallen asleep with a full face of makeup and STILL LOOKED GOOD THE NEXT MORNING. That stage setting spray Nancy has is *chefs kiss*!

All in all would recommend to every bride!!

Bridal Make Up

Nancy did my bridal make up October 2021 and that of my wedding party. She is very talented and amazing at her craft. I went with the airbrushed make up and it looked amazing all night long. Nancy is very patient, sweet and professional. She takes the time to understand your needs. At one point all my ladies were scattered getting something and Nancy was the one to help me into my dress! I strongly recommend her, she will definitely be my go to Make Up Artist for any event.

Best makeup artist ever!

Nancy was an absolute dream to work with. She has an amazing eye for makeup, and she listens to exactly what you want and makes it come to life. I booked a trial with Nancy, for my wedding, and after the trial I immediately knew I wanted her to do my makeup for my big day. My makeup was exactly what I asked her to do, a light pink romantic look that wasn’t overly done or caked on. My makeup felt fresh, I barely felt like I was wearing any, and I looked/felt amazing all day! I felt very confident in how I looked thanks to Nancy. The makeup lasted, through the day and night, and the eyelashes she used are amazing. My bridesmaids and my mom were all extremely happy with it as well! I seriously cannot give her enough praise.
Not only does she do an amazing job with makeup, she has a bubbly and vibrant personality that puts you at ease immediately and an approachable attitude!
I will 100% be hiring Nancy again to do my makeup for other big events in my life.

Amazing make up artist!

Nancy did an amazing job on my makeup for my big day. She arrived early to set up for our schedule and made sure to finish all my bridesmaids and my make-up and touch-ups right on time. We did not have to worry about being late for our first look. My bridesmaids and I were so happy with how our makeup looked throughout the day. Even throughout crying through vows and through the day, my makeup stayed on point. Nancy also made the experience fun and helped make some TikToks while getting ready! I truly enjoyed working with Nancy and the other makeup artist she brought to complete the makeup for the day. Both of them were very professional and did our makeup exactly how we wanted. Nancy was easy to talk to and get along with and I would definitely use her services again in the future! For future brides looking to get their makeup done in San Diego, Nancy will do an amazing job and will make you look and feel like a queen!

She’s the best!

I had my ceremony and reception on different days and Nancy did my makeup for both days. I had a clear vision for both events and she nailed it both of them! She was so professional through the whole process. She was so sweet and made the day super fun the day of!
I would highly recommend her for your event. She makes awesome TikTok’s too!

The Best Wedding Makeup Artist!

I wholeheartedly recommend Nancy for anyone's makeup artist on their special day. She is so absolutely sweet and welcoming, even with all of my questions and indecisiveness with what final look I wanted. I've never had an issue with communications with her throughout the wedding planning process (you'll find out how some vendors will take forever to contact you back or never will). She's the only person I'll ever have confidence with to work on my thick hooded small eyes as well. She did my makeup trial, my makeup for my engagement session, and an eye makeup trial (because I couldn't decide what colors I wanted on my eyes and if I wanted to do false lashes or eyelash extensions... see what she had to deal with?) prior to the wedding.

On the actual wedding day, she was on time and ready to work and I didn't have to worry about her timeliness. All of my girls wanted different looks (natural to full glam), and she and her assistant makeup artist killed each look. A couple days before the wedding, I was so determined to squeeze this new super dark blackhead on my cheek -> turned out to be a new mole and I made a big scratch on my face trying to cut it out haha. Nancy did a fantastic job covering up that scar along with my other imperfections I was insecure about. I was so stressed about the wedding that I got sick (not COVID) and I definitely looked how I felt, but she still made me look AMAZING. Plus, she kept giving me morale support throughout the morning getting ready, which I greatly appreciated. I don't think I'm normally a good-looking person, but I look back constantly at my wedding photos because I looked SO good, all because of Nancy and her magic. I 100% believe choosing Nancy to do my wedding makeup was one of the best choices I made for the wedding and I can't wait to find more excuses for her to do my makeup again :). Thank you so much, Nancy!
