Amazing makeup artist and knows how to do Asian makeup

Theresa is an amazing makeup artist. She literally was a portrait painter in a prior career, so whoever is lucky enough to have her do their makeup will not regret it. I called the usual recommended makeup artists around here and they blew me off because I didn’t fit their cookie cutter mold and didn’t have a mega bridal party that would max their profits. I needed someone that can do Asian makeup which is scarce around here. I was so fortunate to have found Theresa. Theresa sees each customer as a unique person and customizes the makeup to enhance our features. She also can help with a beauty regimen. On top of all her services and talent, she is kind and cares about her clients. She gave me and my bridal party confidence on my wedding day. We received so many compliments. Don’t forget to tip her well. We need to support small and kind businesses like Theresa’s.

Professional, caring, attentive

Theresa did my makeup for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. It was important to me that I look "natural" as I'm not someone who typically wears much makeup at all and she took great care to make sure she and I were on the same page and that the makeup turned out how I wanted. It held up all day long and still looked as good by midnight as it did that morning. She also did the makeup for my mom and mother in law and they couldn't have looked better!

Amazing MUA!

Theresa is amazing! She took the time to really get to know exactly how I wanted to look and even worked with me when I changed my mind. In the end my makeup turned out better than I could have imagined. Her expertise made it a stress-free experience. I would recommend her to anyone!

Beautifully natural style

Theresa Burden is a make up artist extraordinaire. To be honest, I was nervous about the makeup. I don’t wear much in my day-to-day, and so I didn’t want it so caked on that Josh wouldn’t even recognize me as I walked down the aisle. But Theresa was a makeup genius. She has a style that was natural and that made me feel both a little glamorous and a lot, well... me! And that was exactly what I was looking for. Oh, and let me tell you: she went way above and beyond the call of duty, and was wonderfully committed to making my tan lines disappear. Not only is she talented, but she also has a sweet and calming presence... a helpful trait when you’re literally in people’s faces on the biggest day of their lives!

Theresa was amazing!

My makeup was flawless for the entire day.

Theresa was AMAZING! She was meticulous and prompt in every communication. She made me feel extremely comfortable during the trial and at-ease on the day-of. Theresa worked with me to accommodate my being out-of-state when it came to scheduling a trial as well. I also loved that she talked me through skincare in the months leading up to the wedding. Each of my bridesmaids also had their skin treated (moisturize, exfoliate, hot towel, etc.) on the morning of the wedding -- which made the early morning wake up just a bit better!

If you are looking for a stylist who is organized, prepared, and a perfectionist when it comes to your final look, Theresa is absolutely the MUA to hire. I loved working with her.

Amazing wedding make up

Theresa does amazing work! she's truly an artist. I'm obsessed with my wedding makeup, it was so beautiful but i still looked like myself. It was so . natural, literally everything i asked for and better than I could have imagined. Theresa is also so professional, kind, easy to work with, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend over and over again. I danced all night long and my make up still looked amazing at the bed of the night.

Theresa Rocked Out

Theresa is so talented and has an amazing personality! I am so thankful that she did makeup for my bridal party, my mom, and me. Theresa made sure that despite the bridesmaids having similar makeup looks, that they were all unique enough for their personalities to shine through. Spending my wedding morning with Theresa was so chill and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. I highly recommend Theresa to any bride of any color because she is not only talented, but professional and kind. Also, as an FYI, my bridal party was made up of mostly brown girls and Theresa did a phenomenal job with all of our skin tones.

Couldn’t recommend Theresa enough!!

I don’t even know where to begin. She is a true artist and gives 100% every time. She is organized beyond belief, extremely professional, and constantly makes sure you feel comfortable and beautiful. And wow I don’t think I’ve ever looked as good as I did on my wedding and that’s a huge nod to Theresa. And all my bridesmaids looked gorgeous! She truly loves doing make up and puts so much thought and care into every detail. She’s a dream!

Your makeup will look amazing!

I’m a mature woman who no longer knows how to apply my makeup. Because I was hosting a rehearsal dinner and attending the wedding the following day, I knew I needed help. I found Theresa on the internet and was very nervous since I had never had my makeup done by a professional artist. When I drove up to Theresa’s studio she was outside waiting for me and immediately put me at ease. Theresa is attentive, a true professional, enthusiastic, and an experienced makeup artist. She took before and after pictures which showed me her amazing ability. My step-daughters never compliment me, however when they saw my makeup they said, “Your makeup looks amazing!” I recommend if you need to look your very best you should contact Theresa. You will be in excellent hands!

Highly recommend!

Theresa did such a great job— she listened to exactly what I wanted and the end result was still “me.” Plus she was a pleasure to chat with and stayed right on schedule on our big day. She did makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, and my mom, and everyone looked gorgeous. Thank you so much for making this bride feel beautiful!
