Ms. Kathryn did my makeup for a special occasion. She exceeded my expectations. My makeup turned…read moreout so amazing! Everybody loved it when I showed up at my event. I don't typically get the one on one services like the ones she provided. But I have to say I loved it! It was great to sit with her and go over the look I hoped for and just sit back while she created that look. As a person of color I'm always looking for someone with the products and skills to work with my skin. I was shocked to see all the products she had that blended so we'll with my skin tone. She even taught me a few techniques for my day to day look. I'm glad my hair stylist recommend I use Ms. Kathryn's services. I have already scheduled my next appointment for a wedding I'm attending. Im going to recommend Ms. Kathryn's services to the bride, that way my look won't upstage the bride's.

I LOVE Stacey -- not only did she talk to me about Harry Potter and cats, but she also made me feel…read morebeautiful on my wedding day. Double-win. I had never had my hair or my make-up professionally done in the past, so I had no idea what the experience would be. I'm sure I was a bundle of nerves when Stacey showed up for my trial (which I highly recommend doing!), but there was honestly nothing that I should have worried about. Stacey is an expert at highlighting your natural beauty; I never felt like any part of me was being hidden under heavy makeup. I was authentically me at my wedding, and that was so wonderful. Stacey also worked with me to make sure I was pleased with my makeup and hair and was happy to make any small tweaks to my look. On the day of the wedding, Stacey and her team arrived early and worked efficiently to make sure myself and my bridal party were done on-time for pictures before the ceremony. We had such a fun time with Stacey and her team, listening to music and chatting. It definitely helped me settle down before seeing my husband for the first time! As an extra bonus, my hair and make-up lasted throughout the warm June day and through all the dancing I did at the reception! I am so grateful to Stacey for helping me feel confident and beautiful on this important day.

I have been an event director and wedding planner for 15 years. When my time came this year to wed,…read moreI was particular in what I wanted and needed to work with a professional person that I may rely on explicitly. Stacey... is an absolute unicorn. She is one of the most professional vendors I have worked with in SD. She is responsive, fair, well-priced, kind, humble, easy-going and most importantly... excellent in her craft. I asked Stacey for a sun-kissed, California girl look and she made all my bridesmaids and me look like we just stepped off the beach. What makes Stacey unlike most make-up artists (...and so, so special) is her ability to create any look you desire. Most artists have one or two makeup looks they have mastered and stick to them (hence so many pictures of brides look the same). Stacey actually listens, takes notes, photos and guides you with her knowledge on how to get the look you want. She is also so funny and cool, you literally want to add her to the bridal party on your wedding day. Thank you Stacey for being so awesome.

Luckily the lash lift lasts up to 4-6 weeks or even longer depending on how you take care of it.

They were actually pleasantly surprised they liked their makeup! It's nice that travel is complimentary if your wedding location is within 15 miles of her. Wedding makeup can get pricy so make sure you research and look at examples to see if their artistry fits your personality and style. I'm fortunate I found Emily for me!

I got my makeup done for a wedding. I came a little unprepared, but I let her know that I'd like a fresh, natural look, and a smokey eye. The makeup she used felt so nice and light on. She worked fast and had time to give me tips on doing my own makeup as well. I'm very happy with how my makeup turned out even though I'm not use to having a darker smokey eye. I trusted her and I left a happy camper. Also, my makeup lasted all day (8am-1am). How amazing is that? The makeup literally looked flawless throughout the day. The only thing I would change for next time is to ask for better coverage on my scars and to bring a pic of how I usually do my brows. Overall, I'll be hiring Emily for my future events.
