    The Best Makeup Artist

    ZZ beauty is seriously amazing! Not only did she do exactly what I asked for, but she also made changes from my trial to make sure everything was perfect on the big day. From my makeup trial, Izzy gave me recommendations to help with breakouts and my skin overall. And let me tell you, my bridesmaids looked flawless too! The best part? Our makeup lasted all day, even through the tears, rain and sweat. I can't recommend her enough! If you want a makeup artist who's easy to contact, listens to your requests, and delivers stunning results, she's the one. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

    Great experience

    I found Izzy through a Facebook search. After reviewing her work I knew I wanted her to be apart of my day. After exchanging a few emails we had my date locked in! Izzy offered a trail for the bridal package I picked. She took her time, very personable and was just awesome to be around! She came on location for myself and 2 bridesmaids. She made us all look and feel so beautiful. I highly recommend!! Would book again for anything!

    Wedding Makeup

    I don’t even know where to start!! Izzy is such an amazing person all around. She’s kind, sweet, hardworking, and honestly the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. Izzy was so easy to work with I showed her my inspiration pictures and she went above and beyond! I was obsessed with my trial makeup it boosted my confidence for my wedding and when the big day came she KILL IT!! I was in shock! I got so many compliments all night long it really made me feel so special. It lasted all day even with me crying like crazy and into the next day because I didn’t take it off 🫠 I will forever be grateful for having her do my makeup on the best day of my life and won’t go to anyone else ever! Thank you so much Izzy 🫶🏽

    Amazing Makeup Artist

    I had the pleasure of working with Izzy for my 10/14/23 wedding. She was professional, personable and so talented! She kept everything running on schedule and left everyone with a touch up kit (which we didn't need because everything stayed all night!) If you are looking for a multi-cultural makeup artist who uses products suitable for sensitive skin, she is a perfect match! Everyone looked so beautiful and the makeup lasted throughout the night (even through tears, dancing, and a rainstorm).

    Izzy is amazing!!

    After meeting Izzy and seeing her beautiful work at my best friend’s wedding, Izzy was the first vendor I made sure to hire for my wedding this past October. She is so talented at her job, and really knows what she’s doing. My makeup lasted all day and night through happy tears and sweaty dancing. I will forever recommend Izzy to my friends and family for future makeup needs!

    Izzy is the best!

    Izzy came recommended to me by my hair stylist when I was at a loss of where to go. I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for or needed, but from the moment I started talking to Izzy, she guided me through everything. I even threw her a curveball and changed my wedding dress (and wedding dress color) in between my trial and wedding date, and she rolled with it and came back with the most gorgeous look day of my wedding. She’s communicative, flexible, kind, and comfortable to be around. She made me feel so relaxed on my wedding day and made me look and feel my best. I can’t recommend her enough!

    Phenomenal

    Izzy was INCREDIBLE to work with and made me feel so amazing and beautiful both for my trial and wedding day! I sent her inspiration pictures and we talked about my areas on insecurity. During my trial, she explained everything she did and why, which taught me a lot about both makeup and skincare. She turned my areas of insecurity into things of the past and highlighted my favorite features.

    I typically don't wear a lot of makeup and my goal was to look natural, but to also be the most beautiful version of me that my husband would ever see. Izzy delivered and then some to say the least!

    On my wedding day Izzy remained on schedule while single-handedly making 8 women look and feel gorgeous. She also made herself available for touch-ups both at the getting-ready site and venue. I can't recommend Izzy and ZZ Beauty enough for PHENOMENAL results and professionalism from start to finish!

    Absolutely perfect

    Izzy is the absolute best! My makeup was flawless, she does exactly what you ask, explains everything she is doing, and is so communicative. My biggest fear is my face looking dry and my makeup not lasting the entire day and she could not have done better with the airbrush. I did not touch up my makeup the entire day and never had a dry appearance, she truly saved me after having a bad experience with my first makeup artist and booking her last minute.

    Izzy is amazing!

    Izzy is absolutely amazing! She is excellent at what she does and is so personable! Every girl she did make up for at my wedding loved the outcome and interacting with her, which in my past experiences with other makeup artists is not always the case. She really takes her time and makes sure you are in love with your look. If you need a make up artist for anything, Izzy is your girl!

    1000000000/10 stars!

    If Icould put more stars I would!! Izzy made my entire experience from start to wedding day absolutely flawless. Not only is she an extremely talented artist, but she's personable and kind. She helped me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day in a way I wasn't sure was possible. All night I got comments from guests and vendors on how beautiful my makeup was. I would never work with another makeup artist again!

    Izzy is the absolute best

    I first met Izzy as a MUA for my friend's wedding - she was so kind and funny on top of her amazing work. I never felt more beautiful and knew I needed to hire her for my wedding. Izzy is my go-to, to recommend to friends and family and I couldn't have been happier with my wedding. I really appreciate her work ethic and craft and the above and beyond she does - how many MUA do you know that also focus on skincare? Ultimately, if you hire Izzy you won't regret it.

    100/10– Hire Her!

    Stop scouring the internet— you found the absolute best make-up artist! Hire her immediately, ZZ Beauty books up fast!

    As a gay, multicultural couple, we needed an experienced artist with the ability to work with several types of skin tones.

    Izzy blew us away! She seamlessly worked with 6 ladies of completely different skin tones without any problem. Our make-up looked flawless and lasted all night! Every single person loved their look, which is simply so rare.

    Working with LGBTQ+ friendly vendors is extremely important to us. As an LGBTQ+ artist, Izzy made us all feel accepted.

    My wife and I have worked with countless make-up artists over the years. Izzy’s talent, flexibility, and fun vibes put her at the top. Without a doubt, the best make-up artist in Pittsburgh and beyond.

    Greatly looking forward to working with her again soon!

    A Marvelous MUA

    I had a marvelous experience working with Izzy at ZZ Beauty for my wedding this summer and would highly recommend her for anyone out there looking for a MUA (especially for a wedding or other big event)!

    As a POC bride, I was really wary of finding makeup (and hair) stylists who were experienced with my skin tone, features, and hair texture. The ladies in my bridal party also had a broad range of skin tones so it was very important to me to find someone with the right knowledge to celebrate our natural looks. Izzy, along with her assistant Karma, nailed it and everyone looked stunning on the big day.

    A couple days before my wedding I thought I spotted the beginning of a breakout right in the middle of my forehead. I texted Izzy, freaking out, and she replied right away with helpful suggestions and really kind and compassionate reassurances. She reminded me that my inner glow is the true beauty (and that makeup can do wonders to hide any blemishes!). Thankfully all was well on the big day, but I will never forget how Izzy calmed me down and was there for me when the stress got real.

    From the start, Izzy was really easy to communicate with and flexible in everything from setting up my trial to working out the wedding timeline. She listened to all my concerns and knew exactly how to address them so my makeup laid flawlessly all day long. She was always sure to check in on how I was doing throughout the makeup application to ensure everything looked and felt right on me. My wedding makeup turned out truly stunning and exactly how I had hoped. The style was perfect and it stayed fresh through all 12 hours of smiling for photos !

    Don’t hesitate and book Izzy right away. She is a talented makeup artist, clear communicator, and is there for you at every step. Thanks Izzy ❤️

    Now that’s a BEAT!

    Izzy was phenomenal! She was professional, on time, and personable. Her execution was flawless. She did my makeup for my best friend’s wedding and did not disappoint. She is extremely talented and flawlessly maneuvered through a lineup of several different complexions without missing a beat. It’s not often you can find a makeup artist that can do all skin types! Her skill is unmatched. I will be booking with her for other major events in the future.

    Izzy was amazing! She did a great job on each person, was timely and efficient, and made the whole process fun. I even had a problem with my spray tan that she was able to fix perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to look flawless on their big day!

    Wedding make up looked perfect

    Izzy was Fantastic! She was kind and very flexible. She did a trial for myself and my mom. She did my hair and make up for my wedding shower. She made sure my make up for my trial was softer and different than my wedding. She travels and is easy to work with. She gives her professional opinion on what she believes will look amazing, but will always makes sure you feel comfortable with what you look like. She explains everything she’s doing. My make up for my face wedding looked amazing and held up all night. Though my wedding is over, anytime I need make up needs, I will be contacting Izzy. I absolutely recommend.

    Good Vibes and Great Makeup

    I only have amazing things to say about Izzy. I fell in love with her makeup and her instagram bride photos, but I chose her for the vibes! Izzy is funny and sarcastic and laid back. A few things (unrelated to makeup) went wrong on my wedding day but she kept me laughing and relaxed. When I saw my makeup I had to stop mysself from crying before I ruined her *masterpiece*. She did exactly what I wanted - made me look just like myself but beautifully elevated. If she is not booked, book her! She is worth the money and more. Also, if you have a large bridal party, she (and her assistant) perfectly coordinated 15 people's makeup on the day of my wedding without losing steam.

    Wedding guest makeup

    Very professional easy process. Great value and appreciate detailed contract very clear terms for payment. Have had issues with another make up artist but Izzy was great on time and what a great look she achieved for me. Received a ton of compliments.

    Great multicultural artist

    Hired Izzy to help me do a benefit event. The event was completely voluntary and the money raised was to be donated to help a friend with cancer receive medical treatment funds. Izzy showed up on time, prepared, and with a great attitude. She did mini consults, makeovers, and even face paint for the kids. Everyone was very pleased with her work and she was very polite and mindful of the time she took with the children so they wouldn’t get too antsy. She really did great with the crowd and I will definitely be booking her for more events!

    Five Stars Across the Board!!!

    I got married in September of 2021 and I have been hiring Izzy for the last 3 years to do my make up for different events, and her waxing services. So it was a no brainer to hire her for my bachelorette party and my ceremony/reception make up! My glam on my bachelorette night was nothing less than stunning!!!

    She provided informative and professional suggestions for my wedding day during our trial. We together found a look that I loved and she made me even more excited for my special day! Because my wedding was outdoors, she did offer an additional service of staying during the ceremony and for the reception to touch me up after all of my crying during our vows. She was such a positive energy to have on that day and it is something I will forever cherish because she helped to make me feel so beautiful!! Also, my photographer couldn’t believe how well her work photographed.
    She also provided waxing services for my honeymoon! I had never gotten a full Brazilian before, she was great at keeping me relaxed and her focus was sooo skilled it was over before I knew it! I couldn’t believe it.

    I can assure you on your many many preparations for your big day… choosing to hire Izzy MUA is a decision you won’t regret. Thank you so much Izzy for everything!

    ZZ beauty's reply:

    Thank you so much it was great to work with you !! I was honored to be a part of such a big day for you. You made a beautiful bride Mrs Cruz !

    Book Izzy ASAP!

    When I was getting married, I was on the hunt for a makeup artist. I had reached out to artists that were recommended to me. Literally no one messaged me back. One day I decided to search a hashtag on Instagram, and I came across Izzy’s page. I had no idea who she was, but from what I could see her in pictures, her work looked amazing! I reached out to her and the rest is history! Izzy is all around the best make up artist that I’ve ever worked with. First and foremost, she does amazing work! I’ve never felt more beautiful than I felt on my wedding day. She worked with me and listened to my ideas and concerns and just made me look like a more polished version of myself. In addition to her make up skills, she is all around so professional. Iz was pregnant during the time I was getting married. She lined up a backup makeup artist to do my wedding makeup in case she wasn’t able to make it. She even arranged a trial makeup session with the backup artist so I’d feel comfortable on my wedding day, regardless of who was doing my make up! (I am proud to say Izzy was able to do it and then had her beautiful baby three days later)!! Also, Izzy was always punctual and communicated with me the whole time. From start to finish, working with Izzy was a breeze. Not only is she professional, but she is extremely down to earth and just has an overall calm vibe to her - which was so appreciated since I was an anxious bride! She did make up for myself, all of my bridesmaid, my mom, and my MIL. One of my bridesmaids like her work so much, she booked Izzy for her own wedding! Do yourself a favor and reach out to Izzy. She’s the real deal!!

    She's all talk. She collected money from the bride for the entire bridal party up front and then also charged each party member cash! She cheated everyone out of money and double collected. When approached, she lied until the bride gave up and when I approached her, she blocked my messages.

    ZZ beauty's reply:

    Aparna, you were not a part of the consultation nor the agreement or planning process with the bride. Me and the bride had a verbal agreement about pricing and she left on her wedding without paying me the remainder due. The party was also an hour and a half late to their scheduled time. You were late to your scheduled time as well. The bride had assumed her deposit was her total and that was absolutely not what we agreed to. You were blocked because you were continuously harassing me over false allegations and still continue to do so. However working with you has taught me a great lesson in business. Which is to never trust a verbal agreement. So going forward I have created a typed contract and terms of agreements so that there can be no “confusion” on anyones behalf. I’m sad to see you are still so passionately angry over false Information and that you stand so firm against an independent artist. I hope peace can find you one day and you can let go of such petty behavior.
