Highly Recommend!!!

I've had the pleasure of having Maria do my makeup several times for multiple occasions over the years, and I always receive compliments.
Maria uses high-quality makeup from top brands.

What I appreciate most, is that she always makes the experience about you and always makes sure my makeup compliments my features.

Maria is accommodating, knowledgeable and extremely professional. She really goes the extra mile and I'm always happy with her work.
Thanks, Maria! See you again soon.

Absolutely prefect!

Working with Maria was a dream, from my trial to the big day. She listened and understood exactly the style of makeup I was looking for. All planning and coordination went smoothly and professionally. Maria arrived on time and her calm, confidant demeanor helped make the stressful early morning a pleasure. My makeup came out perfectly and lasted the entire day. It was comfortable and natural-looking. Maria also did my Mom and sister's makeup and they looked beautiful, as well. I highly recommend A Soft Touch by Maria for any makeup needs!
