Makeup by Tara Matos

From the start, Tara was super responsive when planning our meetings and answering any questions I had about the process. She did a full makeup trial 3 months before my wedding where she let me see all three of my looks, which made me feel confident in being styled by her for the wedding itself. I have acne-prone skin and Tara took time to understand my concerns and tailor the looks so I felt beautiful in my own skin. I felt like myself, since the makeup was not caked on or overly glam, but it still had an elevated look. Tara also took time to understand where all the Indian jewelry fit into the look.

During the weekend itself, Tara was a calming presence and our makeup sessions were an escape from the chaos of the whole weekend. We formed a great connection and I felt just as comfortable chatting with her as I did being in silence and recuperating from the weekend’s events. She even let me take a nap while doing my make up before the reception.

The best way to put it is that I felt like a princess when I was with Tara, and I could not recommend her more for any bride’s makeup needs.

I have nothing but great things to say about Tara. The process was easy, she was knowledgeable, reliable, on time, a good personality to work with, good communication, and even when it came to last minute changes she just rocked it. Super happy with how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding look and my bridesmaids hair. I have the cutest little snippet that shows my hair and makeup so well but it doesn’t let me post anything but regular pictures. Still waiting for my photographers pictures back so this is all I have to show for now!

Tara did an absolutely perfect job on both my trial and wedding day hair & makeup. She worked with me in terms of what I was looking for by listening to my vision while offering professional advice regarding looks and potential items to purchase to help achieve my ideal look. She made me feel truly beautiful, a rare occurrence, on my wedding day. I requested a second artist who was also wonderful. While Tara did the makeup for the rest of the bridal party and my hair & makeup, Sienna did everyone else's hair. Based on timing, Sienna was even available and willing to curl the flower girl's hair despite not booking it previously. Everyone in my bridal party had their natural beauty enhanced through the wonderful work of this team. Based on other vendors I initially looked at, Tara provided an excellent value for a great price. She was kind, easy to communicate with, and professional without being too stuffy. I would highly recommend getting glam done by Tara!

Tara is a gifted artist. She is professional, responsive, prompt and a sweetheart on top of it all!

Her professionalism and kindness is above and beyond. She has great attention to detial, and makes sure you feel absolutely beautiful!

We were very fortunate to have been able to book Tara for my daughter’s wedding. She outdid herself. She really listened to and executed the looks we wanted. I personally loved that she helped me feel calm, relaxed, and pampered. Being the first vendor that we encountered in the morning, she actually helped set the tone for the rest of the day to be an amazing celebration. I would definitely book Tara for any other event that comes my way.

I’ve always done my own makeup, but I wanted to relax and enjoy the morning of my wedding without the extra stress. I was a bit nervous about finding a hair and makeup artist who could bring my bridal vision to life. But then I found Tara, and she absolutely exceeded all my expectations!

The only thing that surpasses Tara’s professionalism is her kind heart. My husband’s grandmother has Parkinson’s disease and couldn’t attend our wedding, so I wanted to include her in a special way. Tara was more than happy to help—she came to our home for my makeup trial so my husband’s grandmother could be part of the experience, and she even ended the session by doing her makeup too! From that moment, I knew I had chosen the perfect person for my special day.

The morning of my wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. My entire wedding party looked absolutely stunning thanks to Tara’s talented makeup team—Yashira, Monica, Yadira, and Krystle—and I had never felt more beautiful. By the end of the day, Tara felt like family, and I will forever cherish this incredible experience, all thanks to her.

Tara is amazing her yesira and the rest of the ladies were the true artist for hair and makeup at my daughter's wedding they made everything go smoothly each of the girls chose how they wanted their makeup and hair and they all came out gorgeous Tara worked on my daughter and my daughter and she knew exactly what my daughter wanted and gave it to her. My daughter looked like an angel she was a gorgeous bride. I was very precise of how I wanted my hair and makeup to look and let me tell you Tara nailed it. They moved worked carefully and took their time and we were still on schedule with 12 girls three moms and the bride. They were professional courteous lovely women who just made the day that much more perfect thank Tara all the other ladies for helping my daughter's dream come true

I had Tara and her team for my double wedding day. My husband and I had two ceremonies & I only had time for 1 look. Tara worked with me to create a gorgeous look that would work for both. My hair is pin straight and she had my curls lasting all day long.

Tara & her team were so positive and cheerful especially for a 4 am start time with a big group. She and her girls were kindly able to accommodate me, 9 bridesmaids, a flower girl, and 3 family members. I would highly recommend Tara and her team to any bride 🤍🩵

Tara makes you feel instantly comfortable and at ease. She brought such a fun relaxing energy to the day- she made it feel so smooth. And the hair and makeup was phenomenal. It lasted all night. She is very responsive and truly wants you to be as happy as possible. She is professional and just an all around wonderful woman to work with!
