The Best Experience!!

Shirin went above and beyond with my wedding day makeup! Her kind and fun-loving personality, in addition to her spectacular makeup skills, made me the happiest bride! Her twin sister, Poneh, helped out and did makeup for part of the bridal party, and they still rave about their makeup from my wedding day. I truly cannot say enough positive things about Shirin and Poneh, and highly recommend their makeup services to all brides!!

Absolute dream wedding glam!

I found Brittany through her work on Instagram - and knew she would make me feel perfect for my wedding. I had a great makeup trial with Britt in the fall for my engagement photos, but my makeup on my wedding day was literal perfection.

She was so great, such a good vibe, and she delivered the perfect soft romantic glam look for my brunch garden wedding. I'd recommend her to every bride!

The best make-up

I. Love. Brittany. She did make up for me on my wedding day plus my gals, sister and mom. When I started planning my wedding last summer, she was one of the first vendors I booked and she was even better then I could have asked for. Her work is so so good and she’s just so fun to be around. Could not recommend her more!!
