    Elizabeth Root will make you look and feel more beautiful then you can believe!!! I was lucky enough to book her services for my wedding in May 2022. After a disastrous makeup trial with another artist I started to look for another option when I was referred to Elizabeth, and I am SO happy I was sent her way! From 5 minutes into our trial--when I couldn't even SEE her work yet--I just KNEW I was in excellent hands and I didn't have any doubt she was making me look really good (I was right, I was speechless when she gave me the mirror to check out my final look, I literally asked her "I CAN LOOK LIKE THIS? THAT'S ME???"). Jump ahead to my wedding day months later, and right before she started my makeup I told her I wanted to make some changes and have a little fun and told her my vision and she was smiling, nodding along in understanding and had no hesitation "I love it, let's do it, let's have fun". I fully trusted her to make my face look flawless and she not only supported and cheered on my wanting to try something more bold, she suggested some accents that really made the whole look! As she was working, my bridesmaids would come and look at my face and all I would see is smiles, dropped jaws, wide-eyes all followed by "Holy. Shit." "AMAZING." "You look UNREAL!" and after I finally got to see for myself I felt downright giddy. My now-husband was pretty dazzled when I got to the end of the aisle and stood across from him, and I really just felt like a dream. She made me truly look and FEEL more beautiful than I've ever felt or looked, and her work was both subtle as well as richly eccentric and creative. I don't wear a lot of makeup, and didn't want to look like my face was painted in heavy glam, and Elizabeth struck the most perfect balance of a natural look with playful details. My mom never wears makeup, and has hated it and wiped it off every single time she gets it done professionally - every. single. time. But not with Elizabeth. My mom's makeup was perfect, fresh-faced with her facial features perfectly enhanced; she looked beautiful and more importantly she loved how she looked. I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough, and on top of her masterful makeup artistry and undeniable talent, she is so lovely, funny, perfectly candid, and made getting ready really fun and made me feel so great about myself. She has a very apparent respect for her canvas (our faces) and understands the nuances of working with the most variable canvas and pallets, and it's clear as soon her brushes touch your face. I can't wait for my next excuse to have my makeup done, I know she'll make me look like total perfection! If you get the chance to hire Elizabeth, don't hesitate, she is next level special! Thank you so much again, you're the best!!!

    I found Elizabeth on Yelp and was immediately drawn to her work. I could tell from photos that she specializes in enhancing your natural beauty. This was especially important to me for my wedding - I wanted to look like myself. I have gotten my makeup done previously as a bridesmaid by other makeup artists and I always find myself wiping off the makeup after the ceremony and photos. For some reason, I always come out looking fake - overly emphasized lips, intense eyes, etc. I always feel uncomfortable because I don't look like myself. It is the complete opposite when you work with Elizabeth! You will feel confident and beautiful! I reached out to Elizabeth and she was very responsive. She was available on my wedding date, which I was extremely excited about. We also set-up a makeup trial a couple weeks before my wedding. My makeup trial with Elizabeth was so fun. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. She is also super knowledgeable and open to any comments or adjustments that you may have. She really cares and wants you to have the perfect makeup on your big day. Leading up to my wedding day, Elizabeth was super communicative. She provided me and my bridesmaids with a bunch of tips to prepare our skin for makeup and also tips on how to make it last throughout the day. I got married during COVID-19 and she also had tips on how to adjust to wearing masks with our makeup. Elizabeth arrived on my wedding day on time and prepared with all makeup and tools needed. She completed my makeup, as well as 8 other bridesmaids, on time and all with exceptional quality. She brought a secondary makeup artist to help with 2 of my bridesmaids and her assistant was great as well, having a similar makeup style to Elizabeth. I could have not asked for a better makeup artist on my big day. My photos speak for themselves! My wedding planner asked me if I had "hired my bridal party because everyone was so beautiful" and I honestly owe it all to Elizabeth's amazing work!! If you're looking for a makeup artist who will enhance your natural beauty, make you feel confident in your skin, and who will make you glow all day, do not hesitate to book Elizabeth!!!

    I hired Liz as my makeup artist for my destination wedding in San Diego for my wedding party and I. She was communicative, prompt and collaborated well with my hair stylist for scheduling our individual time slots. I liked that she was easy going and conversational, which helped ground me on an otherwise hectic day. She also helped me choose a makeup look that suited me well and still looked flawless more than 8 hours later! I was so pleased with her work that I hired her again to do my makeup for additional wedding photos that we took offsite a few days after the wedding. Liz helped make my wedding day run seamlessly and I give my highest recommendations for her services!

    Elizabeth made me feel like a princess! We booked her for my bridal MU and my bridesmaid's. I told her my biggest concern was my T-section which tends to get oily and mascara tends to smear on top of my cheeks. I prefer make-up that is light, or more natural and some of my bridesmaid prefers more dramatic make-up. Elizabeth listened to all our concerns and gave us all what we wanted--showing her versatility. On top of that, the make-up lasted all night! I didn't need to do touch ups! even after i shed some tears during my vows. it's crazy how talented she is. I highly recommend her!

    Elizabeth Root was an absolute joy to work with to do my wedding makeup! From the moment I messaged Elizabeth, I knew she would be a perfect fit for my wedding day beauty dreams! We met for a trial which was helpful to discuss my vision and get to meet her before the wedding. 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. She also was so efficient at communicating leading up to the wedding and made a great schedule for day of. She executed my vision of a soft glam look where I still definitely looked like myself but just my best version. Definitely my favorite makeup I've ever had done. My bridesmaids and Mom all looked stunning and they worked on all of them in a timely fashion, but listened to their feedback and ideas. My makeup stayed perfect through the night of dancing and through any tears shed! I hope to work with her again for any time I need professional makeup done. Thank you so much Elizabeth!

    Covid bride here! We were engaged back in 2019, and makeup was one of the first vendors I searched for! After asking around, Lizzy was recommended by two friends. Lizzy felt like one of your girlfriends from the very start. She was so chill, while being professional and very informative. Lizzy stuck with us through date and location changes, and never made me feel stressed throughout the process. I had a blast doing my makeup trial! She made me feel very comfortable and was quick to listen to my thoughts as well. On the big day, everyone had such a blast with Lizzy! She made the experience so memorable for all of us with her bright personality and calm presence. My mom had never had her makeup done professionally, so she was a bit nervous. Lizzy took the time to talk with my mom and help her feel comfortable...and she looked stunning. Lizzy highlights your natural beauty and has a light hand, which was exactly what we were all looking for. Thank you Lizzy for sharing your talent with us!

    Elizabeth is truly a beautiful person with a kind heart and an authentic talent with makeup. My husband and I had a small intimate Summer wedding on a Thursday. Elizabeth made the females in my family feel beautiful with her magic brushes. She performed make up on 4 Filipino Ladies & 1 Greek Woman. Leading up to the wedding, I was not exactly the best communicator. I was too swamped at work and waited to the last detail to send communication over to Elizabeth regarding our skin complexions and such. Elizabeth assured me she "has me covered." She was punctual in arrival and came equipped will all the essentials for my families array of skin complexions. In addition, we always look forward to the pretty lashes to brighten up our eyes. Comparing Elizabeth's work to prior makeup artists I worked with is that Elizabeth's product is natural. She can explain it better than I can. We appreciated the product that she used because it lasted fresh from morning till night time as if time did not go by. I was concerned, we needed her to stay to perform touch ups and she assured us, our makeup will last and it definitely did! My Dad always told my sisters and I, "Simplicity is true beauty." Elizabeth's makeup on my face was light and felt as though I was not wearing any. I do sweat a lot and was worried my makeup would drip off my face...and as always, Elizabeth assured me to not worry "she has me covered." She did a phenomenal job and was a pleasure to work with... even my little nieces were mesmerized watching an artist at her finest. Please don't hesitate and just book her for any of your major events.

    Elizabeth's work for my mom and me on my wedding day. My mom didnt want to get her makeup done. I forced her. and She ended up loving it.

    Elizabeth is BEYOND talented. We hired Elizabeth for my wedding in November. All siz of my bridesmaids wanted to get their makeup done by her because they saw how beautiful her work was. Normally when bridal parties get their makeup done I am used to half the girls washing their face and starting over and the other half touching up what was done....not with elizabeth! Every girl LOVED their makeup and could not have been happier. She executed exactly what each girl wanted in the most natural and beautiful ways. On top of that she has the most easy going, professional and kind spirit. I was so happy with her work that I even hired her for a photoshoot and she was incredible for that as well. Thank you Elizabeth! You are amazing!

    I am a professional makeup artist contracted by this company, and I can tell you these folks…read moregenuinely have been abysmal to deal with from an employee standpoint and I'm not sure what that says about them as a company, but I would NOT trust your credit card number with them. They pay us via their own online payroll system and we have to login to to transfer our funds to a bank account or Paypal. After working a few jobs with them, my account was hacked and someone was able to login, add a new transfer method and transfer my wages to their account within 4 minutes of my being notified of a "new login". I saw it immediately as I was on my computer when it happened, and changed the password, but it was too late. They had transferred funds to a Paypal account that was named with my last name, so it's obvious that there was some kind of data breach in their system that allowed for someone to strategize this and did this either to track their transfers or simply to fly under the radar and not be noticed. I didn't share my password or login with anyone, nor did I have any other login attempts or hacks on any other account so it's obviously stemmed from wherever this data is being stored. This also obviously was someone that knew their system well enough to be able to do this so quickly in spite of their website backend being a little strange to navigate. After completely ignoring multiple emails, their controller finally responded. I was shocked at the lack of seriousness in the company's response. I could not imagine why any company would not take seriously that their data is so not secure, that their employees wages are straight up getting stolen. Who runs their company that way? When I finally did get a response, the controller was not only NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT apologetic or empathetic for ACTUAL WAGES from hours of SKILLED WORK getting stolen from THEIR lack of security in THEIR unfortunate excuse for a payroll system, but when asked what the company was willing to do to rectify or assure me that I was safe to continue working and this would not happen again, she simply responded by denying that this has ever happened before and saying there was nothing she could do. I was floored. Any company that handles their employees and their online security this way has no ethics (at best) and can absolutely not be trusted, especially with your data and credit card info.

Due to my hairstylist's sudden emergency I was stuck with extensions in my hair and no way to straighten my own hair. I looked on Yelp to see what is nearby that I could drive to, and low and behold I found beGlammed and couldn't believe San Diego finally had a mobile glam squad. I got online and had an appointment booked in less than 2 minutes. Chanel arrived at my home, on time, and with a dazzling smile and YEARS of experience under her belt. An hour later she left and then I had a dazzling smile on my face because my hair looked amazing. beGlammed you just found yourself a customer that is going to have a lot of fun with your experts.

    I chose Brittany based off her reviews and I am SO GLAD I did! I am not a huge makeup enthusiast so…read moreI was looking for an expert who was versatile, could do natural glam, a soft and romantic look, and most importantly had good vibes. Brittany exceeded my expectations. She was responsive, kind, calming, affordable, and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. I did the trial run (no regrets) and Brittany came to my home. We went over makeup options, different hair options, and veil placement options. She asked lots of questions to make sure I was comfortable with everything, her skincare prep was fabulous and my makeup looked great! She spent the time to go over each step and customized my look based on my feedback. She's a true natural and was able to take my confusing feedback and turn it into exactly what I was envisioning. On the wedding day, Brittany was such a calm and happy presence in the room. My whole family loved her. We changed a few things we had gone over at the trial, and she remembered everything! Even things I had forgotten mentioning. That meant a lot to me. Brittany truly cares about her clients and it's clear she takes her job seriously. Most people in the wedding industry just treat you like another number but Brittany was the only person in the whole process who treated me like me. Brittany also did my 13 year old's hair and makeup for the wedding. I was worried about her looking too mature but Brittany did her makeup so perfectly, it just highlighted her features in such a soft, natural way... I was honestly speechless. I'm an anxious worrier but I never had to give a second thought to my hair/makeup/veil. Brittany added body glow and left behind a little touch up kit that had everything I needed. She even helped my mom with her makeup and lashes and squeezed in a friend who needed last minute hair and makeup services. My hair and makeup lasted all night, looked fabulous, and I felt like a star. I would hire Brittany again in a heartbeat to do anything makeup or hair related. She is truly an expert in her craft and her passion shows. In all the crazy hecticness of the wedding world - Brittany was the one of my favorite parts.

    Very accommodating, pleasant, and did a beautiful job! Makeup looked great all night.read more

I'm so happy I did! From beginning to end she listened to what I wanted and used products that suited my skin type. She mentioned each step and how it will work for me. She was extremely kind and made sure my Maid of Honor was welcomed and comfortable during the trial.

My wedding day came and she was there on time with an additional artist to accommodate the time I needed to be done. Again beautiful work! My mom loved her makeup! Kimm made it fun and all the bridesmaids loved her! When I sat down I knew I was in great hands. The previous day I made my own touch up bag to use during the wedding because I was afraid my makeup wouldn't last during photos and the ceremony but I'm being completely honest I DID NOT HAVE TO USE IT ONCE. Her makeup lasted from begging to end on my wedding and I cried multiple times! I received so many compliments! Thank you again Kimm! You will forever be my Makeup Artist!
