From the moment I walked into Emily's studio, I felt completely at peace. There is something about her presence that is calm, focused, and intentional. I immediately trusted her, and that trust was more than deserved. During our trial, we explored five completely different looks. She approached each one with such precision and artistry. On pageant day, she did not just do my makeup. She transformed me. She knew exactly how to accentuate my features while still allowing me to look like the most elevated version of myself. My eyes have never looked that defined or luminous. The way she understands color and blending is on another level. Every shade melts seamlessly into the next. It is true artistry. She works beautifully under pressure. Pageant mornings are intense and emotional, yet she remained composed and meticulous the entire time. Her hair skills are just as extraordinary as her makeup skills. She can truly bring any vision to life. As an Eastern Asian woman, I especially appreciate how deeply she understands our features. She enhances instead of masking. She brings out your beauty rather than covering it. I did not have to edit a single photo. The makeup looked flawless in real life, on camera, and on stage under harsh lighting. I received compliments all night, even from my very hard to impress Asian family. And honestly, I attribute so much of my confidence and even my victory as Miss Los Angeles Chinatown 2026 to Emily. She did not just glam me. She elevated me. She made me feel powerful. If you are looking for someone who delivers technical excellence, emotional intelligence, and true artistry all at once, Emily is it. I would trust her with any milestone in my life. read more

I reached out to Emily about doing my makeup for my baby shower, as I'm getting tired quickly these days. I met with her at her studio which was a very tidy, professional setting with great lighting and tons of makeup products. Her tools were all laid out ahead of time, with clean fluffy brushes and all her makeup products organized just a step away. She took her time and was quite thorough with every step of the makeup, starting with the consultation and inspiration. I opted for a shimmery, pearly look to match my theme and dress. Emily was able to match my color perfectly and made me look airbrushed which was amazing. I found her to be very responsive and amenable when I asked to focus on certain areas like contouring my jawline or adding more blush. We found the perfect eyelashes and she really emphasized my eyes, which looked so much bigger after she did her magic. I found myself looking over the products she used and I was happy to see lots of brands I personally used and recognized on top of luxury brands. I loved how my makeup came out at the end of the 1.5 hour appt, and would happily go to her again for future events. At the end, she asked if there was anything I wanted to add or change and I didn't need anything else done- she did my makeup exactly the way I wanted. She's an excellent artist local to me that I would highly recommend! read more

I worked with Emily who did both my hair and make-up for my wedding. I initially had no ideas on what I wanted and what suited me. I described to her the general idea of what I wanted and she gave me feedback on what would suit me more during the make-up trial and what I needed to prepare before the wedding day. Like the style I wanted was long Hollywood wavy curls, she suggested but certain type of extensions and what I needed to hydrate my face as much as I could before the wedding. The day of the wedding she took time and effort to adhere to the Korean make-up style with the fuller lashes as I wanted. She gave great photo types on how to keep my hair and make-up last for the entirety of the wedding. Super satisfied with the end result and will definitely recommend her to my friends/ family and will go back to her for future special occasions. read more

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! From our very first conversation, she was warm, professional, and truly listened to what I was envisioning. On the wedding day, she worked with such a gentle touch and made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. She only uses high-end quality products and VERY CLEAN which was perfect for my sensitive skin. My hair and makeup looked flawless in person and photographed beautifully all night long. Emily is truly an expert in her work. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She's knew exactly how to highlight my features in a way that still felt natural and like myself, just elevated. Beyond her talent, she has such a calming presence, which was a blessing during all the wedding day nerves. She is worth every penny and more.

She will absolutely be my go-to recommendation for friends and family getting married! read more

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Emily for my bridal makeup and hair styling. From the moment I first saw her work online, I was already deeply impressed. And guess what, the actual results surpassed my expectations. My family and friends all commented on how stunning my eye makeup and hair looked. Additionally, I rented my wedding dress from Emily's studio. There was an extensive selection ranging from Western to traditional Chinese styles. I chose a Western off-the-shoulder dress that was beautifully crafted and had a luxurious feel. I am truly lucky to have Emily done everything for me on this special day. 遇到Emily真的是一件很幸運的事情，從一開始租婚紗試婚紗的過程，Emily就提供了很多幫助和意見，工作室裡有很多很多的婚紗種類可以選擇，中式和西式的婚紗都有，婚紗非常有質感。再到後面結婚當天Emily一大早就幫忙我做妝髮，眼妝整體妝造還有髮型都非常好看，真的超級推薦Emily! read more

First off, I want to say I only wish I had found Emily earlier. I already had signed a contract for my wedding day but wanted to get my makeup done for my Korean paebaek tea ceremony, as well as my Chinese tea ceremony which we decided to do on a different day as to not overwhelm ourselves. I was looking on Yelp for a local makeup and hair stylist when I came across E Sweet. I was specifically looking for a makeup artist that made me look natural while covering up my dark bags under my eyes. No crazy dramatic eye shadow or contouring. Just enhance what I already have. Scrolling through her photos, I loved the before and after transformation. Everyone still looked like themselves except prettier. But what sold me was the pictures of the intricate hairstyles for the Chinese Tea Ceremonies. It's one thing to know how to do a pretty hairstyle, it's another to know what looks good with a traditional Chinese qipao or kwun kwa. I was so happy with the results, I wished I had booked her for my wedding as well! The first time, I brought my favorite lashes that she was able to use on me. The second time, I forgot. But she used what she had and layered them so well that it looked better than my faves. When my roommate saw me, she told me it's the best makeup look I've ever gotten done. And she's known me for a long time. I would have to agree. She was super easy to work with. She was professional, friendly, skilled and efficient with the allotted time frame. She also rents kwun Kwas! She's definitely worth every penny. read more

Emily is truly an amazing and talented make-up artist!! I had a great bridal trial session and the wedding day result was even better. She has great attention to detail and is easy to work with. Most communication was convenient as it occurred via text and response time was always quick. She uses all high quality products and I know this because my make up lasted all day with minimal touch-up despite me having oily skin. Overall, I received many compliments on both my hair and make-up throughout the wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do Asian-style bridal hair and make up! I also booked sessions for my mother and MIL and their session was done by Holly. Since Holly speaks Cantonese, the moms were very comfortable with her. Although I personally did not interact with her too much, I was happy with the result and so were my mom and MIL read more

I think that I got really lucky to find Emily to do my makeup and hair on my wedding day! Not only Emily is very talented and professional, she's also very patient with her clients.

She would also give me advice for the hair, accessories and such. I will definitely go to Emily again in the future if I need someone to do my makeup on important occasions or photoshoots! read more

This review is written on behalf of my wife. My wife was able to have a hair/make up session with Emily through a photo package with Owen Jiang Photography. Emily was very punctual and made sure that my wife's hair and make up were done in a timely manner. She was able to travel to us so that we did not have to drive too far away. My wife was very happy with her hair and makeup. Emily went beyond my wife's expectation :) The make up and hair turned out great for the photo shoot at the park! read more

Long overdue review! I want to thank Emily and her team to make my wedding so perfectly beautiful! I got so many compliments at the wedding, as well as my mom, my mother in law, and all bridesmaids' makeup and hair, everyone was so pleased with their look! When I first reached out to Emily, I did not know what type of makeup I like. Emily asked me to show her my wedding dress, asked me few questions, and started putting on light makeup, gradually adding more to show me the difference. She was patient, detailed, and professional. Throughout the entire time I felt comfortable working with Emily. She's also good at observing client's personality so she know what type of makeup will be suitable for the client. I would totally recommend Emily to all my friends! Thank you again, Emily! For making my big day so perfect! read more

I had a hard time looking for a makeup artist to do my wedding make up. I mostly saw dramatic makeup looks but I wanted something more natural. When I saw photos of Emily's work I knew I wanted to book with her. During my trial hair and makeup I wasn't very prepared and didn't have a specific look to show her but she was able to make suggestions based on my dress style. I also had a dress change for the reception and Emily was able to create a second look. On the day of my wedding Emily did a great job. She did hair and makeup for me and of all my bridesmaids, which we all really liked and got lots of compliments on. The makeup didn't feel heavy but lasted all day. Not to mention she was so helpful during our wedding party photos and assisting where she could which was so sweet of her. You can tell she is also really attentive to detail and a perfectionist. In the middle of taking photos the groom tried to rub off some lipstick that transferred from my lips to his lips to my forehead and Emily rushed over to check that he didn't rub off my makeup and give me a touch up, hah! I'm really glad I booked with her and would highly recommend her to others! read more

Makeup...was one of those things that I dreaded getting done. I had a lot of anxiety surrounding my looks and how I was going to photograph on my wedding day. Most makeup styles that had been done to me at this point were very dramatic and heavy western style makeup that I honestly never looked very good in. In comes Emily! As a result of my never liking makeup, I did not really have any idea of what look I wanted for my wedding. Emily was able to do 2 looks during my makeup trial and even fixed it at the end so I could go out on a date night with my now-husband (AHHH! It feels surreal to say that). The makeup felt light and looked natural but lasted all throughout the night. She was very efficient and worked quickly with her assistant to get all 12 (including flower girls and MOB/MOG) done on the day of the wedding according to the schedule. You won't go wrong with her! read more

Emily and her associate Maggie were amazing the day of our wedding. They showed up on time and were flawless about getting everyone's hair and makeup done. Emily really takes the time during your trial to get down the look you want for your wedding day. She is very detailed and meticulous and understands that it's an important day. Emily is communicative and will answer any questions you have. She's an extremely talented hair and make up artist and after going through a trial with another artist prior, I can say she is very good at what she does. We are so happy we ended up with Emily for our big day and received so many compliments day of and on our pictures! read more

Emily is so great at doing makeup and hair. She did my and my mom's makeup and hair for my October backyard wedding, and everyone commented on how great we looked. I didn't do a makeup trial with her, yet she intuitively knew what would look good on me. She is professional, uses good products, and arrived at my house on time. For reference, I have shoulder length hair with bangs. I provided hair extensions, and she knew exactly how to work with the extensions and my bangs. My mom has short hair and she does a great job with short hair as well. Furthermore, when I told Emily that I was having all guests and vendors get tested for Covid before coming to the wedding, she did it immediately, no questions asked. I cannot recommend her enough. She is SO talented. read more

E Sweet Makeup Studio - Hair and makeup done by Emily :) - Makeup Artists Near Me - Walnut , California

Emily did makeup and hair for me for my wedding. We did trial about three months before our wedding for our engagement photos. Emily was super patient and sweet and tried different things on me and let me choose what I like. She is very professional and gave recommendations for skincare. Our moms didn't want to get up super early on wedding day for makeup and hair. Emily was accommodating and got another makeup/hair artist to do the moms' makeup/hair on wedding day so we can all start a little later. I asked Emily literally two days before the wedding if I can add her following and she said yes. Emily did my makeup and hair at my house and then met us at our venue for touch ups. She also helped our grandma with her hair. She was like half of a coordinator/bridesmaid. I had three different dresses and Emily helped me change into each one and then helped me retouch makeup/hair/put on veil. She was also there for our tea ceremony and helped us with what to do. She is so sweet and gentle and does a good job so my makeup isn't caked on. I highly recommend her! read more

I had my makeup done by Emily for my engagement/pre-wedding photo shooting. Emily did an amazing job. I was worried about my pimples and my not too long hair. Emily is very experienced. She can tell what kind of makeup I like and solved my worries very quickly with her professional skills. I was very satisfied with my makeup that day. Even my fiancé loved my makeup very much as well. Emily化妆真的超厉害。她非常有经验，感觉她能读懂你的内心，稍微一点交流她就能get到你想要的妆容并且帮你画出来。非常推荐。 read more

Emily was amazing with my maternity photoshoot makeup and hair! She was always responsive during scheduling, arrived at my house on time and managed to get me ready for my shoot in time looking completely transformed :) She was clearly a perfectionist - she adjusted my double eyelid tapes probably 3-4 times on each eye just to make sure they're comfortable and perfectly positioned, and she really delivered the look I had in mind. Thanks to her I felt confident in the photo session despite having gained quite some maternity weight! I look forward to working with her again in my future family portraits :) read more

Emily is soo talented! I am willing to drive to her studio from south OC just to get hair and makeup done by her. As an Asian, I've gone to so many makeup artists that don't make me look or feel beautiful. They often make my eyes look smaller/more almond shaped or use colors that don't complement my olive skin tone. Evens Asian makeup artists!! But Emily does such a beautiful job. Her studio is bright and welcoming, and she uses high quality products that last all day/night. For my hair, she used this volumizing tool that I made my hair look sexy, so of course I found it and bought it online XD And Emily knows how to accentuate my best features with makeup. I've gone to her for the past couple of years to get dolled up for my family holiday photo shoots, and I feel so beautiful and the photos turn out fantastic. I still look like me, but like the super flawless version. :) Thank you, Emily!! I appreciate you!! read more

Emily is hands down sooo talented. She brought a partner named Claire to assist her and she did a wonderful job too. My entire bridal party, my mom and my girlfriends who came to my wedding were all raving about how amazing my makeup and hair looked, and the guests also raved about how good my bridal party looked. I had wedding planning stress and broke out too, but she covered it all up so well and made me feel so beautiful despite my skin mishap. I asked her for a messy wave hair look and she did it perfectly. She was very professional and so accommodating throughout my entire wedding and she kept making sure I was touched up after eating or taking rounds of photos, and everyone saw how sweet and caring she was to me. After, she sent me photos she took of me and I was even blown away by how good she is at taking photos! Lol. I highly recommend her, and if you're on the fence about doing a "second look" for additional pricing, I would advise going for it since it's your one time wedding, because if I hadnt done that I wouldn't have had her touching me up all night and I am sooo happy I decided to since she kept me looking fabulous until the end! So happy I found Emily by chance for my wedding! read more
