Verónica Gaona is a phenomenal makeup artist and I am so glad I chose her for my wedding weekend…read more She impressed me from the start with her meticulous and creative work at the trial. She listened to my preferences and gave me expert advice on how to enhance my features. On the big day, she traveled all the way from NYC to the Catskills, where my wedding was held. She arrived on time and prepared, and worked her magic on me, my mom and mother in law. She made me feel like a stunning bride with her flawless makeup. Verónica also showed her range and versatility by creating different looks for me for the other events of the weekend. She gave me a glamorous golden look with a red lip for the 1950's Italian welcome party, and a natural and cheery look for the wedding day. Verónica is not only a master of her craft, but also a lovely person to be around. She was calm, friendly, and supportive throughout the whole process. She truly went the extra mile to make me happy and confident. I can't thank her enough for making me look and feel amazing on one of the most important days of my life. If you are looking for a makeup artist who will exceed your expectations, look no further than Verónica Gaona. She is simply the best!

First things first Daisy had absolutely no problem traveling to me. In fact she arrived 15 minutes…read moreearly to set up. She asked me about my skin type and the look I was going for in order to use the correct products on my face. I also had never worn lashes prior to this but she made me feel so comfortable and confident to try them. They looked so great on me and the makeup was so beautiful. I will always go to Daisy she really knows her stuff.

I was married in May at the New York Botanical Gardens and had the pleasure of working with Daisy…read moreall day. She arrived early and after setting up all the tools and makeup a girl could dream of, she and her assistant got to work on my mom and bridesmaids. Daisy is very skilled at making everyone of all ages and ethnicities look their best and feel comfortable, including my 14 year old niece, 45 year old sister in law, 65 year old mom and all of the 20- and 30-something bridesmaids. She and her assistant worked quickly but it did not feel rushed and everyone was thrilled with their makeup. She left plenty of time to make me the center of attention and recreated the exact look that I loved during our makeup trial. Daisy then came with us to the gardens and was on site with us until the ceremony, touching us up during pictures. The makeup she chose lasted all day so we probably could have gone without the touch ups, but I wanted the comfort of having her there just in case anyone broke down crying and needed a do-over. She was so attentive, helpful and fun, it felt like having another friend there who was part of my special day. I also had a HUGE zit on my wedding day--every bride's worst nightmare--and Daisy made it COMPLETELY disappear, it was crazy. I would like to add that I did makeup trials with four other makeup artists leading up to my wedding and Daisy's technique was the most impressive to me. She listened to what I wanted, provided her expert opinion on what she thought would work with my skin tone, and was very patient with me. I loved that she layered on my look and would pause after every layer to ask how I liked the look so that I had control over how much makeup was put on. She was able to achieve the "natural, smokey eyed, contoured" look that I asked for with products that felt very light on my skin but provided the coverage I needed to cover past acne marks. She took detailed notes about the colors and techniques she used so that she could replicate it on my wedding day and I'm pretty sure she studied the notes the night before our wedding because she remembered everything perfectly. I also appreciated how communicative Daisy was during the year leading up to our wedding. She was very responsive to emails and did not mind at all when I would email her with random thoughts or pictures that I found inspiring. It felt like she was as excited about my wedding as I was, which made me even more excited! I would highly recommend Daisy for your wedding if she is available in between fashion shows!

I didn't think I would bless with amazing HMU artists for both my Hawaii and New York wedding…read morecelebrations, but I can confidently say that I was. When I came across Tatiana's Instagram page, she instantly became my top HMU choice. I even fell in love with one of the hairstyles that she posted, and I was dying to have it for my wedding reception. Sadly, her services were pricier than I had hoped. After pondering about it for a bit, I decided that it is an investment and I would have regrets if I didn't choose Tatiana. So I quickly booked her and even scheduled a HMU trial too. Through our online communications, I discovered Tatiana was very responsive, detailed, straightforward, and professional. You won't believe how many HMU artists lack some of these traits. When we met for the first time at my HMU trial in her Ktown studio, I was surprised by how funny and friendly she is in person. The trial went really well, and my decision to go with her was further validated. I liked that she constantly made sure I was happy with what she was doing instead of waiting until she was done with everything to check in with me. She was very receptive to feedback and made corrections swiftly. Whenever she had a better idea, she made it known gently. For example, she used cluster lashes on me so they're a lot more comfortable than the usual falsies. The communication didn't stop there though. After the trial, she emailed me asking for additional feedback and to see how the HMU look held up after I left her studio. I decided to ask her to change the style of my bangs and make the updo higher. Though we didn't get to test out these new asks first, she implemented the changes really well. We both loved the wedding day look more than the trial. Aside from great communication, she is also very punctual. Tatiana and her partner arrived early at my hotel even though it was already an early start. The only unfortunate event was that both my mom and sister-in-law weren't happy with their hairstyles, which were done by Tatiana's partner. I think this could've easily been solved if they listened and prepared inspo pictures in advance, so I don't think Tatiana's team is to blame. My makeup stayed pretty intact throughout my wedding reception, but a piece of hair did get loose. It wasn't a big deal though.

They were so fun, easy to work with & made us feel so comfortable. Our hair and makeup stayed perfect all day (even through tears and dancing!), and I couldn't have asked for a better team to help us get ready. Tatiana, did my hair and makeup and she is just amazing & so talented, I will definitely be using her for future events. She understood my vision and I easily trusted her. I cannot thank her and her team enough for making us all feel so beautiful--you're the best!

Samantha is the best! She was my makeup artist for my engagement photos and wedding day. She…read morelistened to each of my requests and executed my vision exactly how I asked. I received so many compliments on my engagement photos and on my wedding day. Samantha was professional and responsive to my (many) emails. We had a large group of 11 women who needed makeup done and every single person was happy and her makeup stayed on perfectly! I didn't know it was possible...but my makeup stayed fresh the whole day. Besides how great the makeup was (and it was amazing!) she was so calm the entire day. This helped everyone else in my large group stay calm as well. I am so appreciative for Samantha and her work.

The entire team of makeup artists are talented, positive, professional, and friendly - they make you feel so comfortable no matter what service you're there for. Over the years, Muah has become a staple in my beauty routine (the individual lashes have changed my LIFE and given me so much more confidence) and has been a must in all of my biggest life events - engagement photos (twice), my wedding, weddings of my friends, special events. I have never been disappointed in the quality of service, and have left each time feeling so good about myself, which is worth its weight in gold. There is honestly no one I would ever trust more to take care of my makeup needs before an event or night out. For the quality of service, the prices are unparalleled, and honestly such a deal for the area. Muah also offers transformational glam, which is an awesome service and commitment to our LGBQT+ family, as well as photography packages, makeup classes, and tanning. This is a full service spot, and one that is inclusive to such a variety of needs. The products used and sold at Muah are also incredibly high quality. The skincare is on par with brands I've spent 4x the amount on, the makeup is long lasting, incredibly affordable, and again, the highest of quality. I cannot recommend enough. Ashlee, Jess, Allison, and the rest of the team really focus on perfecting their craft, and working with each individual person who enters Muah to make sure that they feel their most beautiful. And seriously - go get the individual lashes, but be prepared to become as addicted to them as I am.

She asked me what I was thinking of and worked collaboratively with me to make sure that my make up was exactly what I wanted it to be. The girls in the shop suggested that I do the trial before an event so I could make the most of my made up face. I went to a wedding later that day and received nothing, but incredible compliments on my make up. Second time around, I returned for my shower make up. Ashlee was working a different event and wasn't able to do my makeup, instead I had Jessica. Jessica was so lovely and personable. She chatted with me the entire time and mixed colors to find the best shade for me and my skin tone. It was amazing. Then for my big day, the store was so accommodating and they were happy to travel wherever I needed them to. It was greatly appreciated that their travel time was already worked into the price. I was only expecting Ashlee and Jessica, but we also got Nicky at no extra cost! All three of them were wonderful and worked very efficiently to make sure that each of my bridesmaids, my mother, and I were all well taken care of. Ashlee was even happy to pause on her way out to help touch up my makeup after I smudged it. Highly recommend working with Muah. Their store is super cute too! And they travel with their own light, so even if you don't have a space with the correct lighting, they'll still be able to take care of you.
