Tracy was FANTASTIC - So chill to be around, excellent at hair and really affordable. She met us at…read morethe hotel where my two bridesmaids and I were watching the World Cup while getting ready for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. She started on a bridesmaid's hair first, then moved onto me (the other bridesmaid did not get her hair done). We looked great. One of the challenges with me is that I was a laid back bride and was not able to give a real concrete description of what I wanted. I had some general ideas of what I liked; something natural (no extensions), and something vintage (think Ingrid Bergman from the 40s) was really all the direction I gave her. Other challenges include having fine, curly hair that barely meets my shoulders. We had no trial run due to my busy schedule. And what she came up with on the spot was perfect. I couldn't be happier. (FYI - I did my own make up later on that day. if I can figure out how to post pictures, I will.)

Tracy was my makeup artist for my wedding in May 2009 and she did both mine and my mom's make up…read moreand hair for the special occassion. She also did the makeup for the bridal portrait. I chose Tracy over other makeup artists I had interviewed because she was open minded, creative and takes your concerns very seriously. She also works very well under pressure. My skin tone is yellowish since I am Chinese and I had always dreaded the brown eye makeup because the red makes me look like I have my eye punched. For my wedding, I wanted something colorful or very flattering of course. I love purple, gray, dark moss eye shadows and Tracy suggested purple to match my flowers. The other makeup artist simple refused to entertain the idea of non-brown eye shadow! I also wanted a ponytail like hair do instead of a big bun on top of my head. Tracy didn't even bat an eye lash and went at it during my trail session. My hair is very fine and straight. She curled with hot rollers and did her magic with some spray and made my borning straight hair into a modern pony tail with body and some delightful curls. The makeup and hair lasted all day and I called the next day to formally book her. On the wedding day, we were running a little bit behind because of various reasons that were not out of ordinary. My wedding planner (whom I will never recommend to anyone) was very rude to her. Asking her to hurry up. We were really not that late. I was not sure what the big deal was. Tracy ignored the rudeness and kept on going. She did my mom's makeup and hair first. It was a wonderful transformation. My mom is not used to hair or makeup at all. She is always very bare minimal. The hiccup was my mom's hair. It is chin length and permed. Instead of doing the total MOM hair do of making the perm more puffy. Tracy made it into an elegant updo!!!!! I LOVED IT. Mom was skeptical until all of her friends told her how good it looked. My mom's makeup was also understated but highlighted her features: eyes and cheekbones. My mom looked years younger! Tracy did my hair and makeup just like the trail run. She put on my veil and stayed throughtout the photo session before the ceremony to touch up my makeup. (there was a huge drama with a storm that the planner was not prepared for and Tracy sat there with me as a friend to calm me down!) I never had this many compliments. I guess people are supposed to compliment you on your wedding day. But I think they meant it. My makeup and hair lasted from 3pm to 3am! I have after party pictures to prove it! You really cannot get any better than Tracy who would come to you, do both hair and makeup, put up with your mom, wedding planner, and be a friend while touching up your makeup.

Not only is her work stunning, but she is an exceptional person. The salt to the earth. Her work is very natural. As a bride, she did my test run, my bridal portraits, my rehearsal dinner makeup (and 4 of my friends) and my wedding day makeup. In addition to doing my makeup on my wedding day, she did everyone else in my bridal parties makeup, as well. All of my bridesmaids were THRILLED with their makeup during the wedding weekend. She takes the time to talk to each individual, to see what look they are going for. Having her with me throughout the wedding process, calmed my nerves. I cannot put into words how wonderful Christy is at her profession and as a person. What are you waiting for?! Book Christy ASAP.

It is evident that she has been doing this a long time and has perfected the art. I am highly particular when it comes to makeup but Sharon helped guide me throughout the process and helped me determine what was going to look best for my engagement pictures, my rehearsal dinner, and most importantly my wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful/confident in my life. I will never let anyone else touch my face because I have experienced the best of the best. I will be using Sharon for every special event I can moving forward. If you can book her, do it!! You won't regret it.

I worked with Avery for my wedding in Austin. I found Avery through a referral from another…read moremake-up artist who was booked, and I think I absolutely came out better using Avery than I would have anyone else. On Avery suggestion, I did a trial run with my make-up a few weeks before the wedding. I showed her photos of the look I wanted and did my make-up in the same fashion. At the end of the trial we talked about what I liked and didn't. We tweaked the look a couple of times and took some photos in the sun so that I could get an idea of how my make-up would look for my outdoor wedding. On the day of the wedding Avery was a dream to work with. She was on-time to the site where we were getting ready, and was set-up before the first "appointment" time of the day. She brought an assistant with her to help with the bridal party, and her assistant was also top notch. All of us left that day feeling like pampered beauty queens. Varying from full on glamour girl to an "I rarely wear make-up" tom boy, Avery customized each look to the person's desired result. And my day of make-up was EVEN BETTER than my trial run. She was able to put together exactly what I wanted and I have never felt more beautiful. I looked like a brighter version of my daily self without feeling overly made up or like a drag queen. I cannot recommend Avery enough!

I'm incredibly picky but this is a woman with experience and she is literally amazing. She uses top of the line products and values good skincare. The makeup stays on forever, and she listens to her client. I had my trial 2 days before the wedding, and she did my rehearsal dinner and wedding makeup and I absolutely can't say enough about her. Highly recommend both her, and Danielle Barr, who she frequently teams up with - Danielle does hair, Kandy the makeup.

She's also amazingly gifted at her craft. I recently utilized her for an impromptu engagement shoot. I sent her a pic on Pinterest (of course), and she was able to quickly bring my pinned vision to life. She came to my home, brought fun jams on her phone and went to work creating a masterpiece on the canvas of my face. We laughed, I giggled (I'm ticklish and that air brush tickles my neck), she giggled when I giggled and we had a GREAT time. I was actually a little sad when it ended but stunned when I saw the finished product. It was perfect! Thank you, Kelly.

Also her makeup products are really great quality and I love the eye shadow pallet I purchased from her. It is now part of my everyday look.

I also have naturally curly hair that I was afraid would be too short to wrestle into an up do, but she pulled it off, maintaining my curls while creating a look like I have never had, and even in the heat of a Texas June, my hair and makeup stayed spectacular all day and night.
