Tara did such an amazing job on my bridal makeup and hair!!! I don't think I could have been happier with the way it turned out. I even asked her to do my eye shadow completely different than what we did in the trial and I was so nervous but it really turned out better than I even imagined. Tara and her team were a lot of fun to have in the bridal suite while getting ready! She is one of the only makeup artists that would come to me on-site without needing a minimum of 5 people. I am really happy with everything and will recommend Tara to all brides in the downriver area!!!

Tara is a flippin rockstar!!! She knew everything I was describing and was so confident when I showed her multiple pictures of different hair and makeup. It’s nerve racking letting someone control how you look on your wedding but wow she %100 delivered! From my trial to the big day she just made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt!! Whether you want natural or more glam she will hook you up and you will be forever grateful like I am!! Don’t hesitate and book her for all your beauty needs ASAP she will make you a knock out!! Thank you Tara from the bottom of my heart!! Xoxo Chelsea Lewis

Tara did my hair and makeup for my wedding, she did exactly what I asked her to do, and totally nailed the look I was going for! She also managed to do a beautiful updo on my 6 year old niece who doesn't stop moving!

Honestly, I couldn't have been more pleased with Tara at Motor City Cosmetics. From booking the appointments, to listening to what I wanted and doing it exactly! You get quality, professional work. Tara did 7 people for my wedding AND me(the bride). She scheduled it perfectly, and stayed on schedule all day long. Not only did she cater to our cosmetic needs, she made our bridal party feel welcomed and special, which was so important to me. She also did eye lash extensions for me the day before the wedding, which looked INCREDIBLE! I received compliments on them for weeks. Basically, she's an incredibly talented make up artist, with good pricing and excellent professionalism. If you haven't booked her yet, you should!

Tara is amazing, I have only positive things to say about her and her work. I had the pleasure of her doing my hair and makeup when I was maid of honor at my best friends wedding. I was getting married 3 months later and still hadn't booked someone for makeup. I had done 3 trials and was completely disappointed. After Tara did my makeup I knew I found my girl! I personally don't wear a lot of makeup so I wanted someone who would be able to highlight my natural beauty without making it seem like I was wearing a ton of makeup... she did it perfect! Not only did she give me the exact look I wanted, my makeup lasted all night. She completed my makeup by 10am (I had an early ceremony) and it still looked flawless by 3am... and I didn't do any reapplying! Tara also has a positive and fun personality which is very important on your wedding day!

Tara at Motor City Cosmetics did my makeup and my bridal party's makeup at my wedding last October. I wanted a natural but glamorous look. Tara accentuated all of our best qualities with her beautiful work and all the girls had just the right look for them. They all felt they looked their best and not overly done up. I loved my look. I love makeup and love a naturally glamorous look and Tara definitely delivered! All our makeup lasted the very long day and I personally received so many compliments about my makeup on my special day. I felt beautiful and owe my look to Tara at Motor City Cosmetics. A great choice for any special event!
