    Wedding Review!

    I cannot recommend Tricia enough! I immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her. I felt like Tricia really listened to what I wanted and was able to nail the elevated natural look. I really wanted to feel like myself on my wedding day and Tricia helped me accomplish this seamlessly! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

    Incredible experience

    Not only was Tricia incredibly communicative and well prepared ahead of our big day but she also made things so easy and seamless day of! I had a big group of 8 people plus myself getting makeup done for my wedding and she gave each person the same attention to detail and incredible work as she did to the me, the bride! If I lived in Costa Rica, Tricia would be my go to for any event - couldn’t recommend her services more!

    Incredible experience for our wedding!

    Tricia was the perfect choice for our wedding makeup for nine girls! She is so kind, intentional, and thoughtful. She truly made us feel so comfortable and beautiful with a relaxed, natural look completely catered to each of us. My family is Korean and it's not easy to find amazing makeup artists who understand our skin tones and Tricia did an amazing job! Her makeup also lasted through the entire night without any touch ups. Thank you so much again, would highly recommend to anyone!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Thank you Gloria! I loved meeting you and working with your group. I'm so happy we were able to find that sweet spot between feeling overly made up and feeling like a dolled up version of yourself. The end result -- you were radiant!!

    So wonderful!

    I am so happy that Tricia was available for my wedding day! She is unbelievably talented and her make-up skills are what I would expect with a celebrity MUA! I have never felt so beautiful, as I did on my wedding day. My make-up was perfect, and lasted throughout the entire evening. Everyone who had their make-up done that day, looked amazing. ( I had never seen my mom & MIL look so gorgeous!). Not only will you have the best MUA if you book her, but you are going to feel like one of your good friends is with you. She is an absolute gem of a person, with the most beautiful and kind soul! Being a destination wedding, not a lot of my girlfriends were able to make it. But having Tricia as my MUA made me feel like I had one of my good friends in the room with me that day. She’s easy to talk to, funny, and has a wonderful energy/presence about her. If you are lucky enough to book her for your special day, I can promise you that you will not be disappointed.

    These kind words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you SO much. I am so over the top happy to know that my presense added this much meaning to your incredible day!! I am honored. Thank you!

    Thank you Tricia!

    Tricia did my makeup for my wedding in August. I am not local or familiar with the Tamarindo area but I found Tricia online after seeing awesome reviews. She responded quickly and answered any questions I had. She is very organized and even made sure we did a trial when I arrived to Costa Rica prior to the wedding. I had the best experience with her! She works efficiently and everyone’s makeup looked beautiful. I highly recommend if you want a beautiful natural look on your wedding day!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Aw Gabby, thank you so much for this review. You and your group were amazing to work with. I loved being a part of your day!

    Thank you Tricial!

    Tricia was the absolutely perfect makeup artist for my wedding day. She was a pleasure to meet and her kindness and gentle approach made me feel at ease. I was blown away and how the wedding day makeup turned out! It truly was perfect. I was worried about two things; wearing too much makeup and/or sweating it all off. Neither were an issue on a humid, sweaty day and I received comments throughout the night how my makeup still looked great and Tricia knew the perfect amount to apply. I am so thankful to have had a wonderful makeup artist like Tricia, and I am so glad she was available for my wedding day to make it that much more special.

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Thank you Laura! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your day and to spend those special hours getting you ready with you and your mom and sister. Thank you!!!

    MUA of my dreams!

    Tricia absolutely exceeded my expectations. She listened and executed exactly what I wanted, but was also able to identify and enhance my natural features in a way that made for the perfect bridal look. I was so incredibly happy with my wedding day makeup!!! I loved every one of my bridesmaid's looks and they loved them too! Not only is Tricia incredibly talented, but she brought an ease and calmness to the wedding morning that helped me relax and really enjoy the special moments. I truly can't recommend her enough!

    Alix Alix Alix. What a lovely wedding you had and you my dear, where an absolute 12 on a scale of 1 to 10! :). I loved doing your make-up and helping you shine!

    Makeup was Exceptional!

    Tricia was a referral from my photographer who was shooting our wedding at Cala Luna in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Tricia is definitely an expert! We initially did a trial day a few days before my wedding. She was so personable and very professional! My make up for my special day was beautiful and natural and also stayed wonderfully during the humid weather. It was my first time wearing false eye lashes and they were so natural and comfortable. They even lasted for 5 days after my wedding, sleeping, sweating, swimming and everything. I loved them so much I ordered them to have when I returned to Florida! She is amazing and a very sweet person. If you want the best, you'll have the best with Tricia!!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Awwww Shawn, thank you so much for this sweet review :) It makes my heart happy that you felt as beautiful as you looked! And so happy the rain and clouds parted and the sun shined down on you two at the end!! Cheers!

    All I could have hoped for!

    I could not have been happier with Tricia! I planned my wedding in Costa Rica from Texas and did not have the ability to do any trial runs for my make-up. I hoped for the best and Tricia did not disappoint! She was responsive in her communication from the time I booked her, she came prepared and understood the look I wanted. My make-up was FLAWLESS! On top of being amazing at her craft, Tricia is so sweet, I really felt like I got to know her in the little time we had together and she made my wedding day that much more special! 100% recommend!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderfully sweet feedback! I had such a great time with you and your family! And the photos of you all, I have no words. Thank you so much for letting me share your day with you.

    Just the Best!

    I had sixteen months to plan my wedding and Tricia was one of the first two vendors I knew I wanted to hire, the other being my photographer. We chose Costa Rica for our destination wedding without having been there before, and we never had the chance to visit before our wedding weekend. Tricia was extremely responsive and her portfolio of work gave me so much confidence in booking her. Meeting her in person was just as amazing--Tricia has such an amazing personality and I am so grateful to have hired her for my wedding day.

    As someone that wears makeup maybe once a year, I was especially worried about makeup. I wasn't sure I could find someone in Costa Rica that knew how to work with my monolids, but Tricia absolutely knocked it out of the park. It was also insanely humid the day of our wedding, and her makeup somehow lasted all night despite the fact that I was literally dripping sweat at some point. She knows exactly what she's doing and the results were incredible.

    Hire Tricia--she is literally the best.

    Thank you Shani. It was a pleasure to be a part of your day. You were an absolutely stunning bride and I loved your make-up!!! The photos are just incredible!

    Five years in the making!

    I was a COVID bride. Tricia treated me like the most important client from the beginning until the very end. It was so exciting finally meeting after planning, cancelling a week before the original wedding date, and planning all over again. She made me feel so special, heard and gorgeous! I highly recommend her for your event!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Mindy, thank you for this lovely review. It's hard to believe how much time passed from our first conversation until the actual wedding day. What an "adventure"! :) Thank you for the opportunity to be part of your day!!

    Amazing work

    Tricia was absolutely amazing. She really listens to what you want and makes it come to life. I had a hard time choosing my makeup artist for my big day and I am so glad I chose Tricia. She is so fun and so talented. My brides maids were all very happy with her work and had amazing things to say about her. If you are looking for someone who will respond quickly, make the experience fun and bring your vision to life, Tricia is your girl.

    Thank you Ema. I had such a nice time chatting with each of your girls and helping everyone get dolled up. Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your wedding day!

    The best makeup artist!

    We used Tricia as our makeup artist for our Tamarindo wedding in January of 2023. She is the best!! She is very professional and made us all feel so beautiful! The quality of her makeup is fantastic - it lasted all day on the beach and through multiple rounds of happy tears. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    I really appreciate your kind words and love to hear that the make-up stayed put!! That's always the goal. :) Thank you so much for including me in your special day.

    Favorite makeup I've ever had done—Tricia is amazing!!

    Tricia was so amazing to work with from start to finish. She's super professional and everyone LOVED their makeup. I worked with her the day before my wedding for a makeup trial too that I wore to our welcome event. I was so in love with my makeup on my wedding day, she brought my Pinterest board to life completely and nailed the beachy bronze look I wanted. The best part was that even in 95 degrees and high wind, my makeup still looked perfect at the end of the night! Even my friends were commenting on how fresh and flawless it still looked after dancing and sweating all night. I'd 100% recommend Tricia and Maravilla Make-Up to anyone wanting to look and feel their best on their big day!!

    Lindsey, thanks for leaving such a kind review. I loved helping you bring your wedding look to life! The photos are absolutely incredible -- you were truly a beautiful, glowing bride! Thanks again.

    Couldn't have asked for more!

    Getting married in Costa Rica was the easiest decision my husband and I could have made... but despite how sure we were in our decision, the responsibility of choosing vendors abroad was a LOT of pressure! To know that you are going to like your makeup by simply seeing pictures or communicating online seems like a tall order... yet, after reading the reviews of the brides who have come before me and communicating with Tricia a bit, I KNEW I made the right choice. Once the day for my trial came along, I was even more at ease. She applied with a light touch yet made my face totally come to life! When my BIG DAY came along, I was even MORE at ease... again... as she was so pleasant to my bridal party, helped calm nerves, and got everyone done in a timely fashion. My bridal party loved the experience, and I couldn't have asked for more in a makeup artist.

    Thank you Hailey!! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your day and get you all dolled up. :) What a knock-out group of women!

    Tricia was the best!

    Tricia was so great to work with! With our wedding being a destination wedding we were unable to come in early to do a trial run. Tricia made it so easy in doing my make up trial the day before so I had my make up all done for our welcome dinner. As someone who does not wear much make up she made me feel so beautiful but still very much myself.

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Thank you Christine!! It was a treat to spend the afternoon with you all. I am so glad that you felt as beautiful as you looked!!

    Amazing Experienxe

    Tricia did my bridal makeup and makeup for 6 of my bridesmaids. We did a trial the day before for my rehearsal dinner and then adjusted it a bit on the day of the wedding and it turned out amazing. I loved how she brought her own makeup chair to set up as she did our makeup in my hotel room. She even squeezed in my mom who decided she wanted lashes and her eyebrows filled in at the last minute. The makeup held up all night even in the heat and humidity of Tamarindo. I got so many compliments on my bridal look and was so happy with the results. Thanks Tricia!

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    It was SO fun working with you and your girls. I definitely enjoyed a lot of laughs with you all!! I'm so happy to hear that the make-up had you looking gorgeous all night long! Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your wedding day celebration! :)

    Tricia was amazing!

    Tricia did a fabulous job on my wedding day make up! She is super talented and made sure we all felt comfortable and happy with how we looked. She also did an amazing job on the makeup for my friends and my mom and aunt. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and was a highlight of our wedding day. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone getting married in Costa Rica!

    Hands down best makeup artist and person!!

    Wow. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this woman is! Booking Tricia online from the states was a little scary you never know what you’re going to get. She was very responsive and omg so organized, she made me feel at ease. I finally got to meet her the day before my wedding for a trial she listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly that.
    The day of the wedding it poured on us and my make up stayed in place and still loved amazing.

    She is an artist and she was a delight to be around. If I could rate her higher than 5 stars I work. Thank you Tricia.

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Awwwww Mandy, thank you so much for this lovely feedback!! You girls were SO much fun and I really treasured getting to spend this time with you all. It's was so sweet to witness such true sisterhood/friendship and get to be a part of your celebration! Thank you.

    Incredible Makeup Experience with Tricia and Her Assistant!

    Tricia and her assistant were absolutely amazing! I was really adamant about a "no-makeup" makeup look that would still photography well and Tricia 100% delivered!! One of my friends who had her makeup done by Tricia's assistant even mentioned that she was better than her makeup artist for her wedding date stateside! I would absolutely recommend Tricia and her team to anyone in CR that is looking for bridal makeup!!

    Thank you for leaving this review. I'm so glad we were able to work together to find the look that made you feel your most radiant. Thank you again for choosing me to be a part of your day. :)

    We loved Tricia so much!!

    Where do I even begin?! Tricia went above and beyond! From our trial day to wedding day I clicked with her on so many levels! From her calm and sweet disposition to her versatility and understanding when working with different personalities and styles she was perfect! Coming all the way from California to have our wedding in Costa Rica I was really nervous when selecting vendors, but I hit the nail on the head with this one! The makeup even stayed on during a two hour dance party in a heavy rainstorm! Thank you again Tricia!

    Amazing experience!!!

    Tricia was so great! I was worried about my makeup staying fresh at my outdoor wedding but it was GREAT! I didn't have to touch anything up and I got so many compliments. It stayed through the entire night. My make up was exactly what I wanted and I'm so incredibly grateful. 10/10 would recommend.

    Maravilla Make-Up's reply:

    Thank you Crystal! This review of my work makes me so happy! I love hearing that you looked gorgeous all night long! Cheers to you both. Can't wait to see some photos :)

    Great Services!

    Tricia was so fun to work with! She made the whole experience fun and we had some great laughs!

    She did an amazing job on myself and my bridesmaids!

    Wonderful experience!

    Tricia was wonderful to work with for our destination wedding in Tamarindo. We coordinated via email beforehand where she asked for photos and inspiration, and she came to our hotel to do a trial the day before where we got to make some changes so I was super happy with the look! She came back to our hotel the next day to help all my girls and did a beautiful job with all of them!! She is so friendly and great to work with, it was fun having her there as we got ready. My makeup stayed perfect the whole night :) Definitely recommend Tricia for all your makeup needs!

    Tricia is the best!

    Working with Tricia was fantastic! She was kinda, attentive, and flexible. She understood exactly the look and I was craving and was open to pivots & feedback in real time. She was professional and personable at the same time. My day would have not been as perfect without her help!
