Everything turned out beautifully and held up perfectly throughout the night. I received so many compliments! Loved the vibe and sipping on some Waterloo while I was getting glammed up! The booking process was seamless, and she was super responsive whenever I had questions. It made everything stress-free and easy. I already booked my next appointment One thing to note: they do have a strict cancellation policy, but it's clearly communicated upfront. I understood that if I had to cancelled, I would still be charged for their time and the reserved slot, which is totally fair. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone professional, talented, and reliable!

My contracted hair and makeup artist decided to bail last minute 2 weeks out from my wedding date and the only person I trusted to do my makeup was Manda! She responded promptly and I owe her so much for saving the day. My mom and aunt also got their makeup done by her and they still talk about how great their makeup looked! I would also like to add that my wedding was completely outdoors and was over 100 degrees that day! My makeup stayed in place all day and night through all the sweat and happy tears! Manda was also extremely patient working with my hair stylists as well! She's very friendly, easy to talk to, and the only person I trust to ever do my makeup. Thank you so much Manda!!

Lauren is easy to work with, friendly, upbeat and professional. She takes her time and makes sure you are comfortable every step of the way.

When someone I'm not familiar with does my makeup I'm usually pretty uncomfortable because I don't know how their work will turn out. The moment I sat down in Lauren's chair she welcomed me and made me feel very comfortable! That was a huge plus for me. I let her know that I have sensitive skin, so I'm always cautious with makeup. She tended to my needs. She asked me questions about what I normally wear for foundation since I have sensitive skin she explained the products that she would use on my face and told me that if my makeup starts to feel itchy let her know, but my makeup never itched. She's so talented! The look that she did on my face she came with on the spot, like five minutes before she started my face. She was able to bring the vision she saw to life on my face through her great makeup. Throughout the time Lauren was doing my makeup we were able to converse and get to know a little more about one another. She was able to hold a conversation while creating awesome work. I'm glad that I was able to not only meet Lauren, but allow this talented young woman to create such a beautiful look on my face for the fashion show. Also, I received SO MANY wonderful compliments on my makeup that night. I was so satisfied with Lauren's work that I reached out to her last week for her to do my makeup for my photoshoot. I had no specific look in mind, as far as makeup for my photoshoot, but Lauren was able to come up with a look that I was so happy with! I enjoy working with her because she always includes the client. She asked me how did I want my makeup, what look am I going for and also showed me options to better get an idea. I appreciate that because I've worked with makeup artists before and I can tell them/ show them how I would like for my makeup to be, and when I see the finished look I am dissatisfied. Lauren listens, she takes instructions and does what you want. If she sees something that may suit you better she will not tell you that what you want doesn't look right, but give a reason and an example for what might work better for you in a polite manner. Lauren's work is consistent and great!! She's done my makeup twice so far and both times I was so proud of her work. She's seriously a professional. Thank you Lauren! I look forward to continue working with you. I am very well pleased with the quality of your work Take a look at the photos I posted from her great work. Kind Regards, Chantè

Found this person on yelp for makeup and based off previous reviews and pictures posted i decided…read moreto give it a shot for my baby shower. Honestly i was not happy with the service. I had showed an inspo of what I wanted and makeup was nothing like the picture. Normally when I get makeup done it takes artists an hr but my makeup was completed in like 30 min. It looked like she probably uses the same products on everyone as there was no variety of items. My skin looked patchey and not blended. Alla was a nice sweet person so I still paid and didn't say anything but I was not happy with my result ! I felt ugly for my baby shower. Never again will I find someone off yelp, very misleading reviews !

I checked out Gina's social media and saw that her work was not only professional, stunning and that she is a **HIGHLY RECOGNIZED** makeup artist with a large following. Gina responded quickly to all my questions about setting up a trial. She answered all my questions regarding her pricing. I told Gina that I don't really trust anyone with my face and that I've never had my makeup done before professionally. She told me that she understood and that she would take great care of me. She said she was honored that she I booked her and can trust her. She made me feel very comfortable with booking her. The day of my trial, Gina drove to me and brought her whole glam setup. Gina made me feel extra special. It was nice treating myself to a glam session. I told her that this made me feel so beautiful that I will do this every year for my birthday and will treat others to a glam session as a gift. I've never felt so beautiful in my life! Fast forward to the wedding engagement shoot- the makeup done by Gina made my skin look flawless. I was able to channel some model vibes since I felt like a different person with a huge confidence boost. I got several compliments throughout the day about my makeup which was really nice. Go and book Gina Archimede for your next glam session. You will not be disappointed. Gina is local to the East Bay but can and will travel to you!
