    Best experience!

    Elizabeth's energy is exactly what you want (and need!) on your busy wedding day. I had done a trial with another make up artist before meeting Elizabeth and was unhappy with the results. After the trial with Elizabeth, I realized a lighter look suited me better and she was the one that recognized that and made me feel made up and pretty but still like myself. On the day of, she was on time and everything went smoothly because she is very easy to work with, organized, and a very kind and genuine individual. All of my bridesmaids loved how their look turned out and to my surprise my make up stayed in place without getting oily even through the heat, dancing, and long hours. I couldn't believe when it was all over that my face still looked freshly done! Definitely go with Elizabeth for you big day!!

    Exactly what I wanted!

    I knew Elizabeth was the artist for me after she did my sister in laws makeup for her wedding. We all described the style as “still you, but elevated and glowing!”. I went to my makeup trial with Elizabeth, and while I was confident in her talent, you still get nervous when they go to give you the mirror to see the final look! I’ve had bad experiences in the past where I look in the mirror and go “who is that??”. When Elizabeth held up the mirror, I teared up, because it was exactly what I wanted. She not only nailed the makeup look I wanted (color, style, etc) but I looked like ME. Me…but elevated and glowing! The makeup on the day was was no exception. Everyone looked absolutely incredible, natural, and radiant. We all felt gorgeous. I felt so confident, and it lasted ALL NIGHT. Even after some hard dancing and sweating.
    Elizabeth is also so sweet, and a calm presence. She a gem, and made us all look amazing.

    Incredibly Special and Authentic

    Picking makeup for my wedding was very stressful for me because I did not want to look "glam" or overdone. I have been a bridesmaid many times and never felt like my best self or even just myself when I looked in the mirror so I was especially nervous to feel unlike me on my own wedding day. I even considered just down my own make-up..

    A friend forwarded me Lizzie's contact after I had a bad experience with a HMU trial elsewhere. I kept using the keyword "natural" and that is the opposite of what I was seeing in my searches. I saw Lizzie's portfolio and immediately reached out. I felt so lucky that she was free for my wedding at a very last minutes notice. Her portfolio looked so authentic AND like she understood how to enhance without being overdone. True talent that's honestly hard to come by in the wedding HMU industry.

    I did not do a trial with Lizzie because I booked her only a few weeks before and I really felt like from our communication she understood what I wanted. When I met her on my wedding morning, I just knew her energy was right for me.

    Lizzie is so authentic, a natural beauty herself and so so extremely talented. She understands skincare and makeup and also she really listens to what your concerns are. Her work shows that she is both truly talented at makeup and just an amazing person!!

    SO If you want to feel special AND authentically YOU on your wedding day, you'd be lucky to have Lizzie available to book!

    Natural, elevated makeup!

    Elizabeth is just a gem of a human and a makeup artist. I had been eyeing her work for a while - she is so versatile and can nail any styles, skin tones, etc. I wanted a more natural, but enhanced look for my wedding day and she executed just that. Not only did the makeup last all day and night, but I felt and looked like myself. Elizabeth is a true professional artist and has the eye for enhancing your natural features. Her calming demeanor also makes you feel so at ease, and was much appreciated on the day of. She was very organized and on top of things planning wise, early to arrive, kept everyone on track, and was such good energy for the getting ready experience. The bridal trial in Point Loma overlooking Sunset Cliffs was just an added bonus to top it all off. If you are looking for an enhanced look, seamless coordination, & soothing vibes, Elizabeth is your girl!

    I have never felt more beautiful!

    I have truly never felt more beautiful in my life than on my wedding day when Elizabeth did my makeup! Elizabeth does an amazing job of highlighting natural beauty. I felt like myself but the best version! My bridesmaids all gushed about how they have never had a better makeup experience. Elizabeth is also just a lovely individual. Her calming and kind energy was exactly what i needed on my wedding morning.

    Bride/bridesmaids

    Liz had done my makeup for a couple of my friend’s weddings and I knew I wanted her to do my wedding! She is amazing! She made me feel so comfortable with the whole process, from scheduling to trial and then to wedding day. I loved my wedding makeup, I felt beautiful without feeling overdone. I highly recommend her for you wedding day.

    Beautiful & Natural Makeup!

    Elizabeth was absolutely incredible! She made me and my bridal party all feel beautiful while still looking like ourselves. Our makeup looked amazing and lasted through the entire day-even in 80 degree heat! She was so kind and brought such a calm and reassuring vibe on my wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough!

    Totally Recommend Elizabeth Root

    Elizabeth was amazing!! She did a great job with my wedding makeup and brought such great energy to the day. I really wanted a more natural look, to still feel and look like myself, and she truly nailed it. All my bridesmaids looked amazing as well. We had to reschedule multiple times because of covid, and she was so nice and flexible with me about all the unforeseen challenges... I felt so lucky to be able to work with her on my wedding day.

    Absolutely Stunning Make Up Artistry!

    Elizabeth Root was an absolute joy to work with to do my wedding makeup! From the moment I messaged Elizabeth, I knew she would be a perfect fit for my wedding day beauty dreams! We met for a trial which was helpful to discuss my vision and get to meet her before the wedding. During the trial, It was like chatting with a longtime friend and I had no worries that I was in great hands! She has a very calming, warm energy too which was perfect day of wedding. She also was so efficient at communicating leading up to the wedding and made a great schedule for day of. She executed my vision of a soft glam look where I still definitely looked like myself but just my best version. Definitely my favorite makeup I've ever had done. My bridesmaids and Mom all looked stunning and they worked on all of them in a timely fashion, but listened to their feedback and ideas. My makeup stayed perfect through the night of dancing and through any tears shed! I hope to work with her again for any time I need professional makeup done. Thank you so much Elizabeth!

    Gorgeous natural wedding makeup done by the kindest person!

    Elizabeth was SUCH a wonderful individual to add to our dream team of vendors. She was one of the first vendors booked because she had done my makeup at my best friend’s wedding so I knew I loved what she did and I didn’t even bother doing additional research. She’s the best at wedding makeup that is enough for photos but still looks natural at the same time - exactly what I wanted! Besides doing gorgeous makeup she’s a wonderful, calming, kind soul that adds good vibes to your getting ready hangout. Thank you Elizabeth!

    Bridal makeup that feels NATURAL and GORGEOUS

    To be totally honest, I knew I wanted Elizabeth to do my wedding makeup before I even met my husband! She did the makeup for my sister-in-law's wedding and my sister's and she is THE BEST. As soon as I had my wedding date, she was the very first vendor that I booked. She's extremely talented. I have always felt so beautiful but also still completely myself when she's done my makeup. I don't wear much makeup normally, and I love a more natural look (but still a bit glam and special). Elizabeth nailed it for me and my whole wedding party. Also, she's so chill and sweet. She brought the BEST energy to the morning of the wedding. And she kept us on schedule. We even made it to the venue a bit early. If you're looking for a stellar makeup artist, LOOK NO MORE.

    Also, she did my makeup for our engagement session at the beach, and we ended up in the ocean. My makeup still looked great after swimming in the waves.

    Amazing Makeup Artist!

    I hired Liz as my makeup artist for my destination wedding in San Diego for my wedding party and I. She was communicative, prompt and collaborated well with my hair stylist for scheduling our individual time slots. I liked that she was easy going and conversational, which helped ground me on an otherwise hectic day. She also helped me choose a makeup look that suited me well and still looked flawless more than 8 hours later!

    I was so pleased with her work that I hired her again to do my makeup for additional wedding photos that we took offsite a few days after the wedding.

    Liz helped make my wedding day run seamlessly and I give my highest recommendations for her services!

    Amazing Experience

    If you're thinking of booking with Elizabeth, just do it! She was by far the best decision I made when choosing a make up artist! I loved that she gave me a natural yet elevated look. My entire party and all the moms loved the way she did their make-up as well! I really appreciated Elizabeth's responsiveness and flexibility since I got married during COVID and her energy is simply unmatched! Book Elizabeth if you're looking for someone to enhance your natural beauty, you will not be disappointed!

    The best ever

    Elizabeth was an absolute blessing. I felt incredible on my wedding day and it lasted all night perfectly. First of all, she is sooo easy to communicate with and was so professional and to the point which I loved. Our trial was a relaxing experience and I left it feel energized and supported. She immediately understood what I wanted and delivered. The wedding day was seamless. All my bridesmaids and family loved their makeup. A few things that set Elizabeth apart is how she compliments everyones unique features. She really customizes her work to you and makes you feel like the best version of yourself. It is not the same look on repeat which shows how skilled she is. She truly listens and can do such a range of amazing work. Beyond the end product Elizabeth gave us, her vibe is amazing and genuine. You spend a lot of your wedding day with your MUA and she really was special to be around. I feel so grateful to have found her, truly a blessing to have her on my wedding day team! Thank you forever!

    One word-amazing

    STOP SEARCHING and pick Elizabeth!!! She did the bridal makeup for my wedding and the makeup for my bridesmaids too! Not only will you gain an amazing friend from booking Elizabeth, but wow she has TALENT too!! I first became interested in booking her after looking over her portfolios online and saw how she highlights each persons natural beauty, and knew she was the person for me and my gals! Elizabeth has the kindest heart, knows what she’s doing, is incredibly professional and responsive, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Before writing this I saw how constant she receives 5 stars, and that’s definitely something to note. Go with Elizabeth, not only will she add to your special day in making you feel that much more special in the makeup she does, but also in adding to the sweet atmosphere of such a fun and exciting day! And I just want to add, it’s been about 6 months and several of my bridesmaids STILL talk to me about how much they loved talking to Elizabeth as she did her makeup, and not to mention then getting to see the final products of her work!

    Natural and beautiful makeup

    I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough! Elizabeth first did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid and I immediately knew that I needed her magic for my own wedding. I never wear makeup, don’t know anything about makeup, and didn’t know what I wanted beyond “natural looking.” Elizabeth ran with that at my trial, and I loved it! My makeup was even better on my wedding day. Elizabeth made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident. Most importantly, I looked like MYSELF! My makeup perfectly suited me, looked flawless, and lasted my entire wedding day. Elizabeth is also highly personable and was a great addition to my bridal suite while we were all getting ready.

    The Absolute Best Makeup Artist

    If I could give Elizabeth a 6th star, I sincerely would. On your wedding day, you want to feel like yourself on your best day. Elizabeth made me feel like magic.

    Prior to the wedding, I had an absolutely delightful make-up trial where she left me feeling confident that I was in the right hands for my wedding day. She adjusted any concerns I had with the amount of makeup I wanted, since I usually tend to lean on a more natural application.

    On the day of, she arrived early and was accommodating for all my bridesmaids. When it was my turn, if any concerns came up, she assured me with a big smile that there was nothing to worry about. The work she did surpassed any high expectations I had already had. She stayed around to help with touch ups right before the ceremony.

    Elizabeth's value felt pretty much priceless to me. I highly recommend her. You will be in talented hands.

    100% the absolute best makeup artist

    Elizabeth lives up to all her glowing reviews! She's absolutely the best makeup artist I could have asked for and was a pleasure to work with. She's incredibly professional, knowledgeable, calm, sweet, and talented. She takes feedback super well and was willing to patiently work with me until I was 100% satisfied and comfortable with my look.

    I don't have a lot of experience wearing makeup so when I was searching for a makeup artist for my wedding day, I wanted someone who could make me look like myself (but better) and someone who could help me feel comfortable in makeup. I also didn't really know what I wanted at first and wanted an experienced makeup artist who could give me advice. Elizabeth did all that and more. She took all my concerns and requests into consideration and absolutely delivered on my wedding day. She made me and my bridesmaids look amazing in person (and in photos) and helped us feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day. I would 100% work with Elizabeth again!

    Elizabeth is the best!

    Elizabeth is THE BEST!!! She was the first wedding vendor I booked and I'm so beyond happy that she was available on my wedding day. Prior to my experience with Elizabeth, I've always disliked getting my makeup done because my face doesn't look great with a lot of makeup. I loved how Elizabeth specialized in natural makeup. I didn't even have to show her a reference picture and she knew exactly what to do to make my wedding makeup look absolutely perfect! The colors and makeup she chose went well with my skin tone and the theme of our wedding and I felt like myself, but a more confident version. She knew exactly how to enhance all of the right features. All of my bridesmaids looked incredible as well. In addition to her amazing makeup expertise, Elizabeth is such a wonderful person. She's so great and added so much joy to the day. Love her!

    Elizabeth Root is amazing!

    I hired Elizabeth after seeing her portfolio and just being blown away. Communication was quick and easy, and she was so flexible when I had a million changes to the way I wanted my makeup to look. I originally went for a natural look and changed my mind to a more Glam look. My makeup came out so great and I felt so beautiful! Thank you Elizabeth!

    You can ask anyone, I was looking all over IG and wedding websites for someone to do my wedding day makeup. When I can across Elizabeth’s site and IG page I was praying she had my day open and she did! I can’t recommend her highly enough, she was amazing! Very professional and my makeup lasted all day. She is a true artist.

    Best Make up Ever

    Elizabeth is magical with make up. We highly recommend Beauty by Elizabeth Root for your wedding day or special event. She is easy to work with, calm, professional, on schedule. And most of all an artist! Everyone in my wedding party was so happy with their makeup...skin tone, eyes, lashes were perfect for each of us gals. And our pictures revealed how beautiful we are and felt with Elizabeth's magic.
