    Great Team to Work With!

    Crystal, Angela, and their team were amazing to work with! Me and my bridal party had a lot of requests for our hair and makeup, and they were super accommodating and did all they could to meet our needs and wants. They were so kind about it all too! They were truly efficient as well and so encouraging about any insecurities I felt. It was a nerve wracking wedding morning and I really appreciated how professional, efficient, and sweet they were. I knew from the moment I did my bridal trial with Crystal that I could trust them to take care of me on my wedding day. I felt beautiful and got many compliments on my wedding day! I highly recommend you book them to do your hair and makeup for any event!

    Angela is an artist!

    Angela was phenomenal to work with and she was so caring and responsive from day 1. I was so comfortable with Angela during the trial that I didn't feel intimidated at all! She focused on what I wanted (natural makeup that would accentuate my eyes and a side bun). I really felt listened to and I also left a lot to her expertise, especially since I have oily skin. Based on my feedback from the trial, I went back for my engagement shoot and we agreed on an airbrush foundation and she adjusted the false eyelashes so that my tear ducts wouldn't wet the glue. I wore the makeup all day and at the beach, and my face still felt refreshed! Needless to say everything was perfect on the wedding day. Angela and her team were wonderful to work with, and Angela was the calming presence I needed! I also borrowed from her the most gorgeous hairpiece that was the perfect, final touch for my hair. I can't tell you how many compliments I received on the hairpiece alone! I truly felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and the best part was that I didn't have to worry about my makeup running or my hair becoming undone! I 100% recommend Beauty in Motion.

    Angel is the BEST!

    Angel was my HMUA for my wedding 8/24/19 and she was AMAZING! At first I had booked Angela last year, but she let me know she wasn't able to be my HMUA a few months prior to my wedding due to health reasons. I was initially bummed since I had my trial in March 2019 and I am not from socal, so I had to do my trial again with Angel the day before my wedding. It worked out though, since we had a tea ceremony the day before, so I was able to get a feel for what worked and what didn't by the next day. She tweaked certain things from the photos she had taken the day before and we both agreed. She did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup; I was sweating at a photoshoot since it was 90F+ outside and same with the ceremony, but I didn't have to touch up AT ALL! I didn't even think that was possible. My MIL also had her hair and makeup done by Angel and she was very impressed. I would highly recommend Angel!! I love their style at BIMS and Angel said Angela tends to be more natural, Crystal more glam, and she's somewhere in the middle.

    Best Natural Hair and Makeup Artist

    Crystal is AH-MAY-ZING. I first went to her for my engagement session. In our first meeting, she asked me what look I was going for. I told her that I wanted a very natural look, someone that my then-fiancé can still recognize. I've heard too many horror stories of guys marrying someone that totally looks different. Crystal did such a great job that I knew I had to book her for my big day as well. I highly recommend a hair trial because we had to try different styles to fit my petite face (don't always trust Pinterest).

    On the day of my wedding, her team was able to quickly set up in our hotel room. They all did such a great job with my bridesmaids, groomswoman, and I, everyone looked so beautiful! One of my bridesmaids told me that out of the four times she's been a bride, her hair and makeup turned out the best with BIMS.

    Overall, this company is very professional. I researched many makeup artists in the SGV area and BIMS prices were the most reasonable, especially since you get to work with the owners and not just a senior or lead artist. One major plus is that Crystal gave me advice on skincare and makeup. I am still using the products that she recommended. I must say that my wedding photographer, Donna Lam's photography style matches BIMS style very well. I recommend booking both together. I would definitely come back to Crystal if I want to take any more professional photos in the future.

    Personable AND Professional!

    I had the pleasure of having Angela to do my engagement photo make up and hair. While make up was on point, the now-husband even commented on how beautiful my hairstyle was on that day. I booked with her again for my wedding day make up and hair as well as Crystal to do my bridesmaids'. One thing that sets BIM apart is their focus on enhancing your features rather than changing you into someone you are not. My bridesmaids and I appreciated Angela and Crystal for listening to our inputs and being flexible with our requests. They are not only professional in the way they take their time to perfect every detail, they also have a way to make you feel very comfortable as if you are their old friends. I appreciate working with these vendors who are truly passionate about their work!

    Wedding Makeup

    BIM was referred to me by a friend to do my wedding make up. At the time I was doing research on different makeup artists but luckily I have met Angela a few times in my life. I’ve seen her work on my friends on their wedding days and the quality work shows through. Each bride have always looked natural, not over done and the make up lasts through out the day. I did the trial and wasn’t disappointed, a lot of care was taken to understand what I wanted and what their professional recommendations are. I’m don’t wear a lot of makeup so I didn’t have too much input but Angela took the lead which was what I wanted.

    On my wedding, Angela and her team came on time and finished my bridesmaids and I according to schedule. I loved my makeup even more, highly recommend getting airbrushed, the makeup looked flawless. The makeup and hair lasted through out the night. Thanks BIM, it was a pleasure working with you.

    So blessed to have BIM!!

    Beauty in Motion provided excellent customer service since day one when I contacted them all the way until my BIG day. Angela was my MUA and she's soooo caring, professional and super easy to work with. I had total of 4 different dresses (including my wedding gown) on my wedding and she did a perfect job for each of my look, matching with all my dresses. I was so blessed to have her and her team on my big day. I got a loooott of compliments not just for my makeup and hairstyles, but also for my mom's, mother-in-law's and all my bridesmaids'. Especially, my mother-in-law was so happy because she said Angela made her look so young!! *hint hint for all the future brides to please your mother in law on your big day!! Lol highly recommend Angela and her team!!

    Angela & Crystal are an amazing sister team tackling all of my beauty needs.

    Crystal did my microblading and made it a comfortable, painless procedure. She was very attentive and took the time to make sure my eyebrows were even and was a good fit for me. I got so many compliments afterwards on my eyebrows. It was my first time doing microblading and I did the ombre powder look and loved it!

    Angela did my bridal and bridal party make up for my wedding day. She also did it for my mom. Given our different face shapes and skin types, Angela was able to find a look for each individual person that looked great for them. She also did our hair and made it look very glamorous and gorgeous. If you have any photos to create a certain look, Angela will be able to replicate it very accurately!

    Everyone was happy and radiating with their hair and make up. I got positive feedback on my make up and my hair. Angela even loaned a beautiful golden hair piece that I placed a deposit for. When returning it, I got my deposit it and it just added an extra layer of glamorous to my special day.

    Both ladies provide great customer service and made it so easy to communicate via texting with! I wouldn't go anywhere else for my beauty needs and highly recommend them for hair, make up, and microblading!

    If you're lucky enough to book Angela and her team, DO IT. She's an absolute genius in creating a gorgeous look based on what you want, even if you only have a general ideal. She was a total professional, extremely fun to be around, and truly talented at her work. I HIGHLY recommend!

    Angela took care of me for both of my engagement session and on my wedding and I couldn't be happier than that! She was always on time and make up always finished as expected so we were never in a rush. Make up trial is highly recommended because you cannot expect the make up artist would know exactly what you want without trying it on, especially if you are picky! I am pretty picky about my eyes' make up (For example, I like my eyes to look longer instead of rounder) and Angela got a much better understanding on how I wanted to do it after the trial - and everything turned out to be amazing on my wedding! Love her :)

    This review is a slightly overdue but I felt it was important to provide it nonetheless. I used Beauty in Motion for my May 2016 wedding. Angela and Crystal provided hair and makeup services for a total of 10 of my gals including bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, moms and myself (the bride). Prior to my wedding day I had a trial session that went very well. I am glad I did one and would highly recommend future brides to have one as well. It makes the day of run a bit smoother since everything has been pre worked out. On wedding day, the team came to my home where they arrived on time and ready to work. In my opinion, their work is effortless and classic. Crystal and Angela were great to work with from start to finish. Work with them - you will be very pleased!

    Angela did my makeup trial and engagement shoot. She is also doing my makeup/hair for my wedding day. I loved my makeup both times. She listened to every detail and request and worked with me until I was absolutely happy with my look. I highly recommend Beauty in Motion Studio to anybody.

    I ABSOLUTELY ADORE CRYSTAL!!! My wedding was this past weekend and Crystal and her team did such an amazing job!!! Crystal did my makeup and hair and her team (two wonderful ladies) did my bridesmaids.

    Bridal Trial:
    I was really amazed at the attentive-ness that Crystal showed, and it was only the bridal trial! Compared to the trial and the actual wedding day, the amount of time Crystal spent on me was the same! During the trial she made absolutely sure it was perfect and that I liked it. I had two hair styles, up-do and down-do. She knew I was mainly concerned with my eyes (i have small tiny asian eyes) and she spent alot of time on my eyes to make sure it popped! Overall the trial was a huge success.

    Wedding day:
    They drove to the location where I was getting ready at. The first 35 miles is free, but I think mine overall was a little over but Crystal didnt even try to nickle and dime me :) her team was on time and ready to go immediately. I kept asking Crystal if she wanted any food or drink, but she only just wanted to focus on me! Yes it did take all morning from 8:30AM-12:00PM but it was so fun chatting here and there with Crystal and her team that I did not even notice what time it was. All of a sudden I was done! I had so much compliments and my friends and family could not believe that was me! I really recommend the air brush, I also tried it during the trial as well. It is a bit extra but it is sooo worth it. I am the type of person that gets sweaty really easily. The airbrush held up so well through my sweat, just make sure you dab and not wipe! Not to mention Crystal gave me a little kit at the end to help with touch ups in between. A blotting sheet to help with my sweating, lip gloss, and extra bobby pins and a lip brush.

    Overall, BIMS is soooo awesome! I really recommend them! Not to mention my maid of honor was sooo impressed with them she has also booked them for engagement session, bridal trial, bridal hair and bridesmaids hair.

    BIM was the first vendor I met and I immediately decided to use BIM after talking to Angela during our consultation. Angela is really really sweet. She gave really good suggestions and ideas when I showed her the the make up and hair style I'm looking for.

    I got married on 10/10/15 and it was extremely hot that day. My makeup kept on without ANY problems through the day and I was very impressed and happy. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup that day.

    Also I got a huge pimple a few days before the wedding (I also broke out a week before my engagement photo shot, too. Yeah..go figure...)and I was really upset and worried. After Angela did the makeup, I can hardly see the pimple. It was covered up very naturally without looking heavy or caky.

    I would highly recommend Angela and her team for any bride-to-be out there and you will not be disappointed.

    Loved loved loved working with Beauty In Motion! They were always quick to reply to my emails and their rates were exactly what I was looking for. I hired them as the beauty team for my bridesmaids, flower girl and moms and I couldn't have been happier with how everything worked out. My flower girl brought a Frozen Braid Book and showed them the "Anna" braid she wanted ... they completely nailed it - ribbon and all. I would absolutely recommend them for any bride/bridal party.

    Angela and Crystal were an amazing team to work with. They did my makeup along with my matron of honor, and mother's. They were always responsive and understood exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day. The makeup trial and wedding day went smoothly and they even finished before schedule! Hiring them was a very easy decision and one less thing to stress about since they were on time, responsive, and very friendly. I can't recommend them enough!

    Crystal did an amazing job with my hair and makeup. My wedding day was super hot and of course i cried. My hair and make up were flawless. I was pleased with their services. Everyone in my bridal party looked amazing!!! Whenever, I need hair and make up I will definitely go back to them. Not only do they do a great job their prices are so reasonable.

    There is nothing to do but rave and praise Beauty in Motion and their team. I went in and had my hair and makeup done for my engagement photos (booked them solely on their reviews) and by the end of the appointment had secured them for my wedding 5 months away. They are amazing at what they do. They make you look like yourself, but 100 times better. All my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup on the day, and I could not have been happier myself. I felt beautiful and confident, which is all you can ask for. Plus, my hair and makeup lasted the entire day up until our wedding ended at 1 am.

    If I have any special event in the future, I may just have to use it as an excuse to return to them and feel wonderful again!

    I am so thankful to have had Angela and her amazing team for my wedding day hair and make up! They are all such talented and sweet ladies!! Their wedding package is really the best in the industry. I would recommend Beauty in Motion Studios to other brides looking for a top notch Make up & Hair artist. Thanks to Angela, everyone said I looked amazing on my wedding day :)
    Angela is one of the most responsive vendors that I had worked with for my special day, as well as being professional.
    She will even let the beautiful bride borrow some of her beautiful jewelry and a veil for their special day.
    Thank you Angela, your team is amazing! :)

    Angela was amazing from Beauty in Motion. She was always very quick to respond to my emails with exactly the information I needed.

    I hired Angela to do my hair and makeup for the wedding day, and she also did my makeup for my engagement photos. Through the whole process she was very attentive and friendly.

    For the day of the wedding, she brought in a team to help with the hair and makeup of my 5 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls. They showed up a little earlier than expected, which was so nice, and the whole team was friendly and willing to answer questions about the hair and makeup process.

    Angela and her team definitely helped make the morning go smoothly.

    Worked with Angela and her team for day of wedding makeup, comprise of my make up and hair, my bridesmaid's make up & hair and my sister in law hair. The make up and hair was very fitting. Everyone loved it, it was young and fresh, the makeup was not dull had the dewy look. Price was reasonable for what we wanted, trial was very productive and the final day Angela and team showed up on time and was very professional. They are very open to what you want and very responsive whether email, text or phone.

    Crystal and her team did an AMAZING job on my and my wedding party's hair and makeup. From the initial consultation with Crystal and Angela, to my engagement shoot, to my hair/makeup trial, and lastly my wedding day, Crystal was fantastic. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell she really cares for her job and customers. I didn't have too much of a preference on how I wanted my hair/makeup completed for my engagement shoot. I had complete trust in Crystal and she did a fabulous job on my engagement shoot look. During my hair/makeup trial, I showed her a couple of looks that I liked and she did her magic and was able to come up with a fabulous look. On my wedding day, her and her team arrived on time at our bridal suite and was able to complete my, my 4 bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law's makeup/hair - (7 people total) - in a span of 4 hours! I couldn't have asked for better service! My bridesmaids looked wonderful (each having their own personally chosen looks) and I got a lot of compliments on my hair and makeup. Crystal also came during my reception to change up my make up for my second dress. I, unfortunately, was running about an hour late due to photographs with my guest tables, and left poor Crystal waiting for me for about an hour. But when I went back to finally change into my second dress, Crystal was so sweet and patient with me. She was very professional throughout the few months I have met with her. You can always email her and she responds really quickly. She is very easy to talk to and I felt completely trusting in her knowledge and skills. I couldn't have asked for a better hair & makeup artist!!!

    My experience with Angela has been very positive. Angela, the makeup artist, was very responsive to my emails as well as my questions. She was also very flexible: I had changes to my venue as well as my dress. These changes affected the way I would wear my hair and makeup. Angela was able to accommodate for these changes with no problem.

    On the day of the wedding, I received lots of compliments on my hairdo from guests as well as took many photos with the photographer on the hair. I am so pleased with Angela's professionalism, responsiveness and quality of work, that I will continue to use Beauty in Motion to do my hair, makeup and facials for future events.

    I would definitely recommend using Beauty in Motion for your wedding.
