Best MUA I could ask for!

Raven was an absolute pleasure to work with. I don’t normally wear much makeup, and she created a look that perfectly elevated my natural features while still feeling completely like me. I looked beautiful, and when I see photos from the day, I still see myself — just the best version of me.

Raven also did hair and makeup for our sisters and moms, and she brought two other artists to round out her team. They were all incredible — full of good energy, laughter, and calm. The morning felt joyful and relaxed, and I didn’t feel a single ounce of stress once I sat in her chair.

On top of her talent, Raven was professional and organized. My coordinator commented on how great her communication was, and my photographer was impressed with how punctual and efficient she and her team were. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Sent from Heaven

Raven Reed has always gone above and beyond to make me feel as beautiful as I am. The best part of an experience with Raven and her team would be they are so genuine and dedicated. She really cares about her all of her clients and that’s very hard to find.

The BEST in the Bay

Raven was an absolutely ANGEL to work with. On time, professional, sweet as pie. She has been the only person Ive let touch my face and brows for years, so naturally I only wanted her for my wedding.

She made me feel beautiful in my own skin. I didnt feel “cakey” and the products she used were quality. I gave her a vision and she brought it to life. For the quality I received, she was SO reasonably priced. If I had to do it all again, theres nothing Id change. Shes had her work published and been recognized in numerous magazines for all the right reasons - you absolutely want her on your big day!

Raven is a queen

My bridal party and I are very low key and don't wear a ton of make-up usually. Raven's aesthetic perfectly matched ours - keeping a natural but enhanced looked for our special occasion. She was excellent at communicating and also has a sweet, calming energy that is perfect for wedding day jitters. She is the absolute best.

Raven is the absolute best!!

I have never felt more beautiful than when Raven did my hair and makeup for my wedding. Due to covid, we had to postpone by one year and then change the venue. Raven was so flexible and easy to work with! She was so helpful and kind throughout the wedding planning process. She has the kindest demeanor, and helped me feel calm and relaxed while getting ready for my wedding. My makeup stayed on (and I cried a lot during the ceremony!), while still looking natural. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Raven did the makeup for my wedding last month for me and my bridal party, and she did an amazing job! She is extremely talented and definitely understands how to enhance your features and apply makeup that lasts and photographs well. From the first time I contacted her, I knew I was in good hands as she was extremely responsive, professional, and fun to talk to. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable. I am so happy to have been able to work with Raven and would recommend her for all brides because she will definitely make you look your best!

Avoid at all costs!

Makeup artist didn’t take any notes during my trial and did the wrong look on my wedding day. We were an hour behind schedule since I asked her to fix my look to what we had at the trial. Later in the day she changed my look, again, without my consent. What is the point of a trial if the makeup artist does their own thing? A wedding is not the day to go off script and try new things.
