Client Love Notes
Georgie
From the moment I first contacted her, I knew I had made the right choice. Her professionalism and responsiveness put me at ease right away, and she truly took the time to understand my vision for my wedding day makeup. I was looking for a natural, timeless look that would enhance my features without feeling overdone, and she absolutely nailed it. On the morning of my wedding, her calm and soothing demeanor was a godsend.

Emily
I don't normally wear a ton of make up and didn't want to look different than my usual self, but Elizabeth made me look like me but glowy and elevated. She is the QUEEN at natural make up so if that is your vibe you need to hire her.

Elizabeth was very responsive and highly communicative. I rarely wear makeup and was nervous I wouldn't look like myself, but the trial was perfect! With just one inspo photo I had, she nailed it! She provided helpful tips for everyone ahead of my wedding day and was easy to work with when locking in timelines and schedules. Come wedding day, Elizabeth exceeded everyone's expectations! Despite the chaos of everyone getting ready, Elizabeth brought her calm and fun energy and was very time efficient.

During the trial, It was like chatting with a longtime friend and I had no worries that I was in great hands! She has a very calming, warm energy too which was perfect day of wedding.
Definitely my favorite makeup I’ve ever had done. My makeup stayed perfect through the night of dancing and through any tears shed!

Do you have some makeup concerns? Let me put you at ease.
Have you had a bad makeup experience in the past?
Don’t worry. I have a light hand and I listen. I always start light if you aren’t specific about what you want. It’s always easier to add or adjust from there.
Have a makeup look you love but don’t know how to apply yourself?
Leave it to a professional. I love helping you get that look customized to your coloring and features.
Does your makeup come off half way through the day/?
I have countless reviews that say my techniques lasted through rain, sweat tears and wild dance parties.
Do you want to still feel like you?
I’ll make sure you still look like you, well you on your best day!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a minimum to book?
I have a minimum of 6 full face services plus a preview/trial appt. or cost thereof to book Saturdays and 5 full face services plus a preview/trial appt. or cost thereof to book Fridays or Sundays. All other weekdays I have no minimum. If you have less people I can stay longer for touchups instead. Remember even if you don't have a bridal party, your friends/family would love to get ready with you.
What type of makeup do you use?
I use many many brands and am always looking for the best in each product category. I always keep in mind how it will photograph and that it will be rain proof/sweat proof/cry proof/dance proof ;) Some of my most commonly used brands are Charlotte Tilbury, Nars, Dior and Makeup by Mario.
Where do you do trial/preview? When should I do this appointment?
I do the preview appointment in Point Loma on my parent’s front deck with an ocean view of Sunset Cliffs and great natural light. I am happy to come to you if you prefer for a travel fee. The appointment is typically an hour.
I have done preview appointments before and after booking, A year out and up to the week of the wedding. It is your choice. Preview appointments are Monday through Thursday 9 -5 unless you are coming from out of town or simply can't for work reasons. I am booked up most weekends and try to protect any free time for my family. I appreciate your understanding.
Do you use airbrush?
I don't do airbrush for a few reasons..
It looks and feels heavier and thicker than my techniques/products.
It can start to crack and separate later in the day.
It has a different base than regular foundation and tears can erase a streak through it that is very difficult to fix with regular makeup.
If you have any hairs or texture on your face it can make them standout.
The makeup and techniques I use photograph just as well and last just as long if not longer.
I have many reviews from brides and clients saying their makeup lasted all night through sweaty dance parties and tears.
I have had many brides that had trials before me with airbrush and didn't like it so they came to me and were much happier with my work.
Do you do hair as well?
I do not do hair but I have a wonderful referral list of top hair stylists I work with often. I would love to help connect you!
