    Claire is Amazing!

    Claire is wonderful!  She did a beautiful job on my bridal and my bridesmaids makeup! For the trial she came to my house, which made it super easy on me in the middle of the wedding planning stress. She understood my vision and was very committed to making sure that I completely happy.  We tried a couple different lip colors during the trial and she checked in a couple days later to make sure that it stayed well all day. Her calming personality was perfect on the morning of the wedding day

    The best natural glam!

    Claire made me feel like a queen during my wedding! She has truly mastered the elevated natural glam and I never felt like I had too much makeup on or didn't look like myself. She was a great calming presence during the day and everyone who got their makeup done came back feeling gorgeous and relaxed. She kept to schedule and everything went so smoothly. I would highly recommend Claire!

    Amazing Makeup Artist

    Claire was the best makeup artist! She was so organized and finished everyone’s makeup for the wedding right on schedule. She was so sweet and all of my brides maids loved her. My mom also couldn’t stop raving about everyone’s makeup. She made us all feel very confident and beautiful. Her makeup was flawless and lasted throughout the whole day with no issues. She even gave the bride a touch up kit. I would definitely use Claire again for any makeup needs in the future.

    Best makeup artist in San Diego!

    Cannot say enough great things about Claire! We hired her to do our wedding makeup for our 3-11-22 wedding at La Valencia in La Jolla and the results were amazing! Claire was kind, responsive, and on time (finished ahead of schedule). None of us wanted anything too over the top and Claire did a great job of making us feel beautiful while still comfortable. Look no further for an amazing makeup artist!

    Beyond Talented Makeup Artist

    Claire is the best makeup artist I have ever had! Claire did my makeup for my engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She is extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and insanely talented! I had a large bridal party and she tailored everyone's makeup to their preference and everyone looked beautiful!

    Claire has a gift for bringing out everyone's natural beauty that will make you feel and look amazing. A huge bonus to working with Claire is she is so friendly and genuinely a great person to be around.

    I am looking forward to working with Claire for all future makeup needs!

    Beyond amazing

    Claire did my make up for my wedding in October and I am beyond blown away by how great she was! She is very talented! She was caring, kind, and helped make my wedding day less stressful. She listened to what I was looking for as well as make helpful suggestions which helped make me feel and look gorgeous on my wedding day! If Im ever in San Diego for another special occasion I’ll definitely be using her!

    Incredibly Talented & Sweet- Claire is a MUST for your wedding!

    I had never had my makeup professionally done and was SO worried about looking too done-up. Claire listened and adapted to exactly what I wanted. She was so wonderful to work with. Patient, kind, encouraging...she made me feel like a princess on my wedding day and I couldn't be happier with how my makeup turned out! She also did my mom (who was so nervous to also get her makeup done for the first time) and had just a tasteful approach to doing different ages, skin tones, etc. Claire came to our house for both my trial and the wedding day and was early both times. I trusted her implicitly with myself, my mom and my bridesmaids!

    I can't say until good things about Claire and her assistant Lucky on the big day. They both were so incredibly cool, sweet and fun to be around- and on top of that, they do amazing work! Claire was an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment she responded to my inquiry via email- she made the time to do a trial on her way home from another wedding pretty far away from her house and spent the time needed to understand my vision for the big day and get to know me personally- even after having spent the entire day at a wedding right before.

    When they arrived at the hotel for the wedding, I've never felt more at ease- they both started working on the girls immediately and really took the time to understand how they wanted to look on the wedding day. They worked with many different complexions and everyone's makeup (both regular foundation and air brush) looked flawless.

    Claire is THE BEST- I really can't express how much I appreciated her ability to do an amazing job on makeup, as well as her incredible personality which just made the entire makeup process so fun. I highly recommend her for all your wedding makeup needs, and beyond, whether your in Los Angeles, Malibu, San Diego, etc. she will make it work and it's SO worth it!! As a bride, it meant more than I can express in words to have somebody working on one of the most important parts of the day and feel 100% confident the entire time. Thanks Claire!!!

    Claire is fantastic! She did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding day and I could not have asked for a better artist! I don't normally wear much more than mascara so I had no idea what I even wanted. She was able to take my natural coloring and features and make them look amazing! Every one of the 8 girls LOVED their makeup also. It's tough to please that many ladies at once! She was professional, on-time, and a blast to have around during the get-wedding-ready process! My wedding day was the best I ever looked thanks to Claire!

    Claire is AMAZING to work with!

    Working with Claire was a dream and I cannot praise her enough for her work and just overall vibe. I planned my wedding from out of state and searched online for recommendations and reviews for hair and makeup artists. A lot of the people I reached out to just emailed me a pricing list, but I found it really important to have a phone conversation about what I wanted and also to get a sense of personality. After all, they’re basically an extension of your bridal party that day since you’re with them for several hours in the morning of your wedding! After my first chat with Claire I knew I wanted to work with her and her pricing was well within the same range of the other quotes I was getting.

    I wear makeup everyday, but I’m a very never-worn-fake-eyelashes-before kind of plain Jane. I didn’t want to look overdone on my wedding day to the point where my husband didn’t recognize me and she totally got that. I did a couple trials for hair and make up with Claire and KC and we made changes along the way. They were so easy to talk to and get along with it and everyone looked and felt beautiful on our wedding day. Even my mom, who was dead set against having her makeup done, was soooo excited how it turned out. Subtle yet elegant and enough to hold for the full (very warm) day. She looked and felt absolutely beautiful, which made me feel amazing. My advice for brides that don’t wear a ton of makeup is to speak up. Claire totally listens to what you want and you can tell she really loves what she does. She’s the sweetest person and you’ll be so excited, lucky and overall thrilled to work with her!

    Lucky to have had Claire share in our day

    I am so thankful that I found Claire to do the hair and makeup services. Claire was responsive, sweet, and accommodating. She was transparent with all of her pricing and services from the start. She is beyond talented with her makeup skills as my bridesmaids helped me find her just from the photos of her work. At the trial, she was super professional. She took photos and notes, and forwarded it to make sure we were on the same page. I also wanted to add that she did great with our Asian eye shapes!! Claire was so accommodating about all of the changes I threw at her up until less than a week before the wedding. She is so sweet and her and her team, KC and Megan, made all of the girls feel comfortable reassuring us that we were in good hands on the wedding day. I had a huge bridal party with 12 of us getting our hair and/or makeup done, including our mothers, which made me nervous about timing for the day. However, we were ahead of schedule at one point! We ended with plenty of time for photos with our photographer. I am so glad Claire and her team spent the morning with us and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants a worry free experience!

    Makeup Artist

    Claire is the most amazing makeup artist, not only is her talent unreal, but she also has a way of making you feel at ease on what can be a very stressful day. She is so sweet and cares so much about how you truly feel on the most special day of your life. I can not recommend Claire more, hire her, you will be so glad you did!

    10/10 would definitely recommend!!! You won't regret it :)

    I was lucky to find Claire when I was a bridesmaid! I loved how well she understood what I wanted, and her prices were very reasonable for my own budget. I was already engaged at the time and immediately requested her for my wedding too! She also came to my apartment the day of my engagement photoshoot to do my wedding trial, which was also perfect! I don't ever wear more than some eyeshadow and mascara, so having my makeup done is pretty foreign to me. Claire did a great job explaining everything and made the whole process easy and comfortable. I loved my all matte, natural look! Overall very happy with my choice of makeup artist and I'm going to insist that all 6 of my unmarried bridesmaids consider her for their future weddings! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!! You won't regret it :)

    The best makeup artist!

    Claire has done my makeup for a wedding in the past, and as I started planning my own wedding I knew I wanted her to do my makeup. She is such a pleasure to work with, and she was so accommodating during the whole process. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup day to day, I often feel uncomfortable when I have it done but Claire made me feel beautiful at my wedding, and it lasted the entire day. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Absalute Pleasure!

    Working with Clair Alyse Makeup was an absalute pleasure. I was so impressed by the quality of Clair’s products how organized she was. Right away I felt I was with a professional. Clair has such a calm and professional presence. I loved how she effortlessly went from two different color pallets and styles. Not only is Clair’s makeup stunning but looks natural at the same time. Thank you Clair Alyse Makeup!

    Claire is a dream! She made me feel absolutely gorgeous for my big day and is so incredibly talented. She did makeup for my mom, sister and aunts also and they adored her just as much. She is so easy to work with and really knows how to accentuate everyone's unique features and beauty. I'd recommend her over and over again. :)

    Claire and her assistant did the most amazing job on mine and my bridesmaid makeup for my wedding in November!! It was exactly what I wanted. Everyone looked so natural and had a beautiful glow. My bridesmaids loved her so much one of them booked Claire for her own wedding.

    Not only did Claire do the best job, she was beyond sweet and accommodating. I was in a little bit of a panic while getting my makeup done (my wedding dress was somehow missing and no one knew where it was :/) and Claire kept me on track and focused. She helped me not completely start to freak out.

    I would recommend her to anyone!!

    I absolutely loved working with Claire on my big day! She came highly recommended from one of my bridesmaids and I knew from the moment I saw her work that she would be perfect. She is so thoughtful and sweet, and drove all the way up to me in Orange County for both my trial and my wedding day! She alone did myself, my six bridesmaids, and my mom on the big day and was totally on-time, professional, and fun and absolutely everyone just glowed! I am so excited to be seeing Claire again this year for my bridesmaid’s wedding and to get all glammed up. Thank you so much for making me feel and look my best on my big day, I couldn’t have had a more perfect beauty team!

    Claire and her team did an amazing job for my November wedding! She made me look fabulous, fresh faced (I got zero sleep the night before!) and gorgeous for my wedding day! She also did the make-up for my bridesmaids and each of them looked stunning- which is especially impressive since each girl has a completely different look/complexion. My mother, who never wears any make-up, also got her make-up done. She looked and felt like a million bucks! Her smile couldn’t have been brighter. Not only is Claire extremely talented but she is a genuinely nice person. I was very nervous on my wedding day and she was kind enough to notice and keep me as calm as she could. I can’t recommend her enough!

    I was so lucky to have Claire. Everyone including myself loved and still comment on my makeup. My MOH wishes you did her makeup for her wedding day. She did not like hers and loved what you did. My mom feels the same way too. So many people have had bad experiences with makeup so that is why I only had a few signup and they were nervous. Well, they ended up being the lucky ones because the girls who did not signup regretted it and were fighting for your time. My MOH attends a lot of fancy events and saved your information. I can't wait to use you again and once I get pregnant and book my shower, I am booking you. I cannot thank you enough. XXOO, Client for life :)

    Claire is amazing and such a talented makeup artist! Throughout the entire process she was absolutely wonderful to work with - talented, professional, responsive, and easy-going! Claire did my wedding trial, engagement shoot, and wedding day makeup for me, my mom and two bridesmaids. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day she was able to nail the look I was envisioning and I was so happy with the final results. Thank you, Claire for making me look and feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day!!

    Claire is amazing! She is thoughtful and has such a warm heart. Claire is open-minded and listens to her clients. She will also talk through looks that may work best for your event. Claire is diligent in her work and makes sure the makeup she uses is safe for your skin type. I appreciate how she takes into consideration skin tone and has everything a wedding party would need. I highly recommend Claire Alyse Makeup! I received so many compliments. I don't wear a lot of makeup and Claire did a phenomenal job of giving me a natural, glowing, bridal look! One of the best makeup artist in the Carlsbad, San Diego area.
