    Summer Is Amazing

    After much consideration and looking at different makeup and hair artists, hiring Summer and her team, was the best decision I made. She is so talented but more than that, she went above and beyond what a "typical" makeup artist does. I have never felt so pampered and beautiful as I did on my wedding day. The look on my grooms face as I walked down the asile is exactly what I had been dreaming of. Summer stayed longer than she was supposed to just to make sure that everyone was perfect and we all felt her "special" touch throughout my wedding day. I would recommened her to anyone getting married especially if you want to be pampered on your wedding day.

    Summer and Dawn are AMAZING. I've never been one to love getting my hair and makeup done and 100% of the time have always ended up fixing or redoing my look. On the day of my wedding, I didn't fix one thing. I had a trial-run a few months before my wedding and strongly recommend taking the time to do one. It's worth every penny. On the day of my wedding, after sharing my post trial-run notes with Summer, she took my look into her hands and gave me exactly what I wanted without me being able to articulate it or needing to show her inspiration photos. My makeup was better than anything I could have ever imagined. Letting go and trusting her seemed scary but I am so happy I did because it turned out incredible. She seriously knows what she's doing. My makeup and hair also lasted all night with minimal to no touchups! Most importantly, Summer is awesome. She is so easy to work with and truly understands how stressful the big day is. She was there for me throughout the process and my hair/makeup was one thing I knew I would not need to stress over. My entire bridal party was so happy overall and I am eternally grateful to Summer and Dawn for making my big day amazing!

    Alina,
    First of all, thank you for taking the time to write this! It means the world to me. It was an honor to share in your Wedding Day! You were absolutely breathtaking and I wish I could have seen the look on Taylor's face when he saw you for the first time.

    Thank you for trusting me with your look. I know first hand how scary that can be. You were a dream to work with and I wish you all the happiness as you embark on this new and amazing chapter in your life. If you ever need anything... you know where to find me! XOXOX And don't forget to send me pictures.

    Summer was amazing!! She did my makeup as well as 4 of my bridesmaids and my mom. She made me feel so beautiful and all of my bridesmaids/Mom loved their makeup as well. She was very efficient with timing on the day of and made me feel very calm and relaxed like we had all the time in the world! Highly recommend!

    Summer is absolutely amazing and does beautiful work!!! After my first conversation with Summer I knew she had to do my makeup for my wedding. For my bridal makeup I wanted a natural look but still wanted to look like I had my makeup done, she exceeded my expectations! My wedding party and family LOVED their makeup and still talk about how great and fun she was to hangout with. Summer helped make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, she is truly an artist. I am so lucky that she was part of my special day!

    Summer is absolutely amazing! She is such a sweetheart & so incredibly talented. She was able to customize beautiful looks for each of my girls on my big day. She was flexible and so helpful with my super stressed out mom! She kept her cool & made sure we were all taken care of. Thanks to Summer and Dawn, I felt like a princess. 100% would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thanks ladies!

    I found Summer on WW, and little did I know I would be blessed with finding an amazing friend in doing so. Not only did Summer make me FEEL like I was the most beautiful woman ever, but she literally DID it. Her work is incredible. Her level of service is so few far between. I HIGHLY recommend her over anything and everyone else, ever. Do yourself this special favor for your special day, and get Summer. <3

    I am beyond happy with Make Me Up Summer.....I went to her with a very vague idea of how I wanted my hair/makeup for the big day. Summer was patient, asked me questions and guided me in the right direction. My hair and makeup looked great the whole day/night, not to mention hours of dancing. My Mom and bridesmaids got their hair/makeup done as well and not one complaint, everyone looked fabulous. My pictures look amazing, I mention this because Summer suggested I go a bit darker with my makeup so it shows better in pictures. I was hesitant at first but she kept it natural and it really made a difference in the pictures. Thank you Summer & Alisha!

    Summer and her team are the absolute BEST! She provided hair and make-up services for a total of five women on the morning of my wedding and made all of us look absolutely gorgeous. She truly listens to what each individual wants for their specific look and is a total blast to be around, too. My girls and I felt like we had a friend with us that morning, and not just another "wedding vendor". She's also very affordable and willing to work with you to meet your budget and payment needs.

    Check out the "Before and After" pictures that she posts to her Instagram account. They speak for themselves and are the best example you can ask for of Summer's fantastic work! I will absolutely be using Make Me Up Summer for all of my future hair/make-up needs and will be recommending her to everyone I know.

    Amazing. I felt so beautiful on my special day with my makeup done by Summer. Every detail was perfect. She also did my hair and it was exactly what I had pictured. My photos came out so pretty; hair and makeup just flawless. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is!

    Hiring Summer was one of the very best decisions I made in all of my wedding planning. She is an amazing artist, but also a really fun person to have around while getting ready on wedding day. I seriously wish I could have her make me up every single day.

    Summer did an amazing job for our wedding and I am so extremely happy I had her for my makeup and hair. I had heard about Summer from a few San Diego girls on the WW forums and I knew I didn't even have to look at any other makeup artists, I loved her work and knew I could trust her to make me look beautiful on my wedding day. About a year before my wedding my husband and I were in California (we live in Hawaii) and decided last minute to get engagement pictures taken on our trip. I contacted Summer for the first time that week and asked if she could do a trial for my makeup before the engagement pictures and she immediately got back to me and made room in her schedule only a few days in advance and it was perfect! She did a great job, the only thing I wasn't fond of was the false eyelashes...just isn't for everyone. She really listened to my wishes and for the wedding day she did a perfect look (without eyelashes). I know very little about makeup so I had no idea what to tell her or how to guide her in what I wanted, but the end result was beautiful. We also used her hair stylist and on my hair trial I liked the look but there was something that I just wanted different but couldn't figure out what it was. On my wedding day, the hair stylist changed it up a little and I was in love! She did a beautiful job and was very fast. They both arrived early which I really appreciated after hearing so many horror stories of missing picture time because the makeup artist or hair stylist wasn't on time. They also did makeup and hair on my mom and a couple of my bridesmaids and they looked beautiful! I would stop looking now once you find Summer, she's the best and worth every penny!

    I've worked with Summer before as a photographer, so of course when it came time to have my own makeup done for my new branding photos I knew I had to use her. I've seen how beautiful my clients look after their time with her, and how great they FELT, which translates into radiant confidence on camera. And let me say, it was seriously such a great experience! Summer is so talented and fun to work with, and I felt amazing! I always recommend that my clients get their makeup professionally done because I know as a photographer that it makes a HUGE difference visually, and now I will recommend it even more highly because I know on a personal level how confident it makes you feel!

    Summer was incredible to work with and made it so easy for me to not have to worry about anything during the planning processes. On my wedding day, she made me up beautifully, but also made sure I felt like myself. I greatly appreciated her professionalism and responsiveness…I knew everything was being taken care of by her. What I love most about Summer is her passion for the art of make-up. She knew exactly when something wasn't working for my bridesmaids and kept at it until everyone was looking and feeling their best. Book her early…it's a no brainer!

    Summer is hands down one of the most talented individuals I have ever worked with! Not only is she professional, but is also SO MUCH FUN to be around! From the moment I met her on my make-up consultation, I knew she was the perfect make-up artist for me. She was patient and understanding, but also knew how to offer her insight and expertise to help fulfill your overall vision. She made sure to ask all the right questions and made me feel comfortable that she had everything under control. She also handles direction very well and will do whatever it takes to meet and exceed your expectations. After an amazing consultation, I knew I could trust Summer to make me the best version of myself, and feel natural and confident on my wedding day. On the day of my wedding, she went above and beyond for my mom, my bridesmaids and I. More importantly, she made the experience FUN and I was so calm and happy while getting ready! When she finished (right on time-no delays at all- which is amazing), I couldn't stop smiling. I never felt more beautiful on my wedding day, and it was largely due to the wonderful work done by Summer. I cannot thank her enough and recommend her to all future brides!

    Summer is a true artist! Looking through her before and after pictures, it is obvious that she is very skilled. However, having your own hair and makeup done is a different thing… She was able to achieve exactly the look I wanted. She is easy going as well, and made me feel right at home as she was doing her work. In fact, I was a little late, and she brushed right over it and just got to work. She went above and beyond my expectations, and because her afternoon was free, she even came to the photo shoot with us. I have three teenage daughters, and even they were beyond impressed with the amazing job Summer did. I would highly recommend her for any important event you have coming up!

    If only I had a Summer in my life every day! What a kind, generous, TALENTED professional she is - truly a great presence on my wedding day and such a skilled artist. Advice for when you hire Summer: let her do her thing! I was an NBA dancer for years and always did my own makeup, so of course I thought I knew exactly what I wanted and just needed someone to execute it. To her credit, Summer did what I asked during my first trial. But of course since I'm not the pro and had no business calling the shots (and even shooting down her suggestions! Cringe!), I wasn't thrilled with our first trial results. This only seemed to inspire her to get it right, and boy did she - once I shut up and let her work her magic! We did another trial the week of the wedding and she nailed it, then came back on the wedding day and made my mom, sisters and me feel so pretty. She also went above and beyond in the months leading up to the wedding, helping my mom source an at-home airbrush makeup kit, texting me suggestions and offering her counsel when I was agonizing over pivotal, life-or-death decisions like whether to get eyelash extensions. She's also just a great person: as the wedding party was running around like crazy at our house trying to load into the limo to get to the venue, my dad ran past the kitchen and did a double-take because Summer was in there cleaning up! She's just the best. I'm only sorry I don't actually live in SD because not only is her traditional makeup business awesome, she is also a crazy talented costume/special effects makeup artist and I'm dying to sit in her chair for Halloween. But of course weddings take special personal skills in addition to technical expertise, and she shines in both areas!

    I cannot recommend Summer enough!!! I found her by chance on this website and it was the best blessing I could have received! I can honestly say Summer made my day as well as my mom's and bridesmaids!! Everyone absolutely loved her! She does amazing work!!! We all looked so beautiful. She was totally flexible with all the challenges that came up during the day; she did not add to the stress at all, but in fact helped fix most of it! It was amazing to have a wonderful and talented person! My friends and myself are very picky when it comes to our make-up, and I don't have one negative thing to say about our whole experience with Summer! Thank you so much for making us beautiful and adding to the joy of our day!

    Summer is an amazing make-up artist and I'm still impressed when looking at my wedding pictures a year later with how great I looked. The makeup lasted all day and felt completely natural, exactly what I wanted. We emailed and texted before the wedding on lipstick and blush colors because it's challenging to find natural looks with my skin tone but Summer found a solution. I had so much confidence walking down the aisle knowing that I looked flawless and had her to thank for it. My bridesmaids and maid-of-honor had no complaints as well. I highly recommend Summer to all brides-to-be.

    I absolutely love Summer! She is so talented, fantastic and was so fun to work with. She made me and all my girls feel and look so beautiful on wedding day. She goes above and beyond to make sure you look beautiful on your special day. I absolutely can't recommend her enough and know that I will be calling her whenever I need to look beautiful.

    Summer is amazing!

    Summer was flexible in working with me on a time crunch, she was immediately responsive to my every need, and tailored the service to what was best for me. Summer is not only incredibly professional doing an excellent job with makeup but is also very kind and warm hearted. She made me feel beautiful and supported through her warmhearted kindness. Summer is an incredible makeup artist and an even better person. I was very pleased with my makeup, thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with Summer, and would absolutely reccomend her to anyone!

    Amazing! I am a photographer, and she did makeup for a wedding we photographed. Her work is amazing! Not only is she such an amazing make up artist, she is so friendly and makes everyone feel so comfortable. Being a photographer, it is hard to find great make up artists that help us out and know what we need and she was great! She was so helpful to us, and the bride and the rest of the girls looked flawless! I can't wait to work with her on future shoots and weddings.

    Summer did my makeup for my wedding as well as all of my bridesmaids and mother in law. She did amazing airbrush makeup that felt so light and airy. My photos came out flawless and I couldn't be any happier. I was referred to her by another bride and it was the best referral. I tried another makeup artist that did airbrush and it was nothing special. I can honestly say, after Summer did my makeup, I felt like a beautiful bride. That's definitely what you want to feel like on your wedding day. you want something that pops and really makes you feel special. And that was definitely achieved!
