Bridal makeup

Candace is amazing!! She did my makeup for my wedding and she did an amazing job!! She arrived on time, worked efficiently and was very professional. I had a hard time finding a makeup artist because I was the only one having my makeup done. Many artists did not want to come and do makeup for just one person, but Candace had no problem with that. We did a makeup trial a few months before the wedding and Candace was so wonderful and easy to work with. I am an older bride at age 55 and my makeup looked so natural and beautiful. I received many compliments on it and it lasted all day and night, even through hours of dancing! Candace was amazing and I would highly recommend her for any makeup needs anyone may have.

Candace is amazing!

I was going back and forth with whether or not to get my makeup done for my daughter’s wedding 11/1/25. I had many recommendations for Candace and given everything we had to set up for my daughter’s wedding I decided to treat myself.
I don’t wear a lot of makeup on the daily so I was a bit hesitant to have my makeup done. From the first contact with Candace I could tell she knew what she was doing. I had many questions leading up to the day and Candace never made me feel like a bother. She took her time with me and answered all my questions. The day of the wedding Candace was welcoming (and gorgeous!). She involved me in every decision and asked my input on the makeup. She makes sure she gets you exactly what you want. When she was done I couldn’t believe it. I felt so beautiful!!!
I even sent her a message the day after the wedding to thank her again and let her know how beautiful she made me feel.
If you’re on the fence about whether or not to have your makeup done for any event don’t even hesitate to book with Candace. You won’t be sorry.

Amazing make up artist!

Candace was awesome to work with from initial contact to make up trial to wedding day. The price of her services were super reasonable, she was very responsive and immediately made any changes as needed, and on the day of the wedding, made sure I was completely happy with how I looked. On top of that, for the trial and the wedding day, the make up stayed SO well and never got looked greasy despite the humidity and my naturally oily skin and I didn't need to touch it up. This was a first for me, so I was very impressed. I highly recommend!!

Perfect Glam Team for Our Wedding

We are so grateful to have worked with Candace (and Raquel!) for our wedding day. From start to finish, Candace was professional, calm, and incredibly talented. We wanted a timeless, soft glam look for our bridal party, and they absolutely delivered - every bridesmaid and both of our moms looked radiant and felt like the best versions of themselves. Beyond the flawless artistry, Candace and Raquel brought such a warm and supportive presence, which made the getting-ready experience even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to trust with such an important part of the day.

Everyone was soooo happy with their looks! My bridal makeup was exactly what I was looking for!

I'm so glad I found Candace to do our makeup for my bridesmaids and myself on my wedding day! She was extremely professional and responsive to any questions that we had. She did an amazing job on all of our looks. She took all requests professionally, even when I asked for some adjustments from my makeup trial! My makeup on wedding day was exactly what I wanted! She did an incredible job!
