Never looked more beautiful on my wedding day!

Doris is an outstanding makeup artist! She exceeded my expectations in doing my makeup for my wedding. She selected colors that were very flattering to me and made me look years younger. She is very meticulous and exacting. She takes great pride in her work. She also did an updo that was flatter with my flower hair piece. She gave me makeup advice in general as well (I told her that I also book a makeup lesson with her). Doris is very personable, calming to my nerves and made sure that I look the best that I can for my wedding day. I would use her again for other special events and recommend her to friends and family. She's tops in her field and has done makeup for celebrities. Take a look at her website for her credentials - it's very impressive! You won't go wrong having Doris do your makeup so that you can look and feel beautiful and be confident in the makeup that will be part of your perfect day!

A True Fairy Godmother – Thank You, Doris!

I was traveling across the country for my son’s wedding and found Doris through Thumbtack. Being 3,000 miles away with no local referrals, I took a chance—and I’m so glad I did. From our first conversation, Doris was professional, warm, and incredibly responsive. I sent her photos of myself and what I was hoping for, and on the big day, she came to my hotel and worked her magic.

When she handed me the mirror, I was blown away. I looked elegant, radiant, and truly beautiful—something I don’t say lightly. Throughout the wedding, strangers came up to tell me how stunning I looked. My hair and makeup held perfectly through tears, hugs, and dancing. Doris made me feel like Cinderella for a day, and I can’t thank her enough. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. Doris is a gem!
