Effortlessly talented!

Sydney was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. She has an incredibly calming personality, which pairs perfectly with an anxious bride! My wedding day makeup was more incredible than I could have ever imagined and perfectly aligned with what I told her I wanted. My bridesmaids also mentioned that they have never had anybody do their makeup as well as Sydney did. Everyone looked stunning but also very natural! We will definitely be working with Sydney in the future :)

No need to look any further 💌

I cannot thank Sydney enough for the incredible job she did with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. From the moment I had my trail, to my wedding day picture, I was in good hands. She truly listened to my vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. My hair was perfectly styled, and my makeup was flawless—it lasted all day, despite the tears and dancing! Sydney’s friendly and funny demeanor put me at ease, and she made the whole experience so enjoyable. I felt so confident and radiant, and I owe it all to her amazing talent. If you’re looking for someone who will make you look and feel beautiful on your special day, I highly recommend Sydney!

I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than I did on my wedding day and that is all thanks to Sydney!

I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than I did on my wedding day and that is all thanks to Sydney! From inquiry, to our makeup and hair trial, to wedding day, every part of my experience with Sydney was amazing. I felt like she perfectly understood my vision for what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like even better than I did. She is extremely knowledgeable about her craft and it shows in everything she does. She perfectly match my hair extensions & told me what to order without me having to sit in front of her!! And not only is she extremely talented, but her personality is the exact kind of personality you need in the room with you while you are getting ready on your wedding day. She is so fun yet calm and assuring. My bridesmaids also adored her and their makeup looked absolutely perfect! There is no one else I'd recommend to take care of you on your wedding day. Sydney is IT!!

Great Preparation

Sydney was fantastic. I highly recommend trialing hair and makeup looks before the event, especially if you aren't used to wearing them. I'll be the first to tell you that I am not a hair expert. During the hair trialing process, Sydney recommended I switch up my shampoo/conditioner to remove my excess oil, and I felt the difference after a few washes. I feel like this guidance leading up to the wedding helped mentally prepare me to pivot when my hair was still too slick to hold the updo I'd had in mind on my wedding day. Hair/makeup are the first vendors you see on wedding day, and having Sydney in the bridal suite with us was like having another friend in there to talk us up and calm us down. In addition to being a skilled artist, she's super friendly and easy to work with.

The best MUA and human!

Sydney is such a genuine soul that felt like a long lost friend from the moment I met her. She brings all the fun, positive energy which was so great to have around during the whirlwind stress of a wedding day. She did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and we were all just stunning. Our makeup held up after hours of happy tears and dancing. She is responsive, reliable, respectful, and fairly priced.

If you need makeup for a wedding, event, or special occasion, you can trust Sydney will make you feel seen, heard, and comfortable while she works her magic and turns you into a goddess.
