    To-go touch-up makeup kit by Maria
    Alyssia V.

    I found Maria on Yelp & I'm so glad I called her! I last minute decided I wanted to have my makeup done for photos with my family. She made sure I 100% loved the way my makeup came out, which I absolutely did. Thank you Maria for doing my makeup, I'll have the keepsake in my photos! You were very organized, clean, on-time, and even made sure I had a touch-up kit to go! So thoughtful! I will definitely be supporting your business in the future!

    Great experience! I had a last min makeup request for my best friends wedding. Maria was able to accommodate me. She arrived on time and 100% taking covid precautions. I felt like I got a glimpse at what celebrities experience lol she had this amazing high chair and professional looking lighting and her makeup laid out. I loved the way my makeup turned out. I got lots of compliments. Not embarrassed to say, but my makeup lasted till the next day so I decided to rock it for another day lol Maria is such a sweet person and you feel that when you meet her. I will definitely be seeing her again in the near future. Thank you!

    eye make up!

    Maria is quite an exceptional makeup artist! Let me start it by saying she is super professional. Even as a last minute booking for a good friends wedding ( yes on black friday of all days)- she kept in constant communication- including With a questionnaire and instructions on how to prep! She is very organized ( her makeup kit was so neat & clean- very impressive). she made my make up look soft and beautiful better than i could have asked for. I received so many compliments throughout the event! And the makeup stayed on great! the picture i added is of my eye look at the end of the night right before i cleaned it off. i will most definitely be calling maria for another event in the future & recommending her! Did i mentions she's also very nice and easy to talk to! Thank you maria for making me feel extra special today!!

    My makeup for my wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Maria is amazing and so talented. I was so impressed with how the makeup looked. It stayed on for the 14 hour day I had, and still looked flawless throughout many crying sessions! It didn't smudge at all, I was so impressed! Maria is so professional and checked in with me throughout the months leading up to my wedding. She is very detailed with her work, and I appreciate her so much! I will be referring her to any family or friend and I plan to use her for future special events. Thank you for making me feel even more beautiful on my wedding day!

    Maria did my makeup along with multiple others in the bridal party (including my sister - the bride!) for my sister's wedding and I absolutely loved it!!! As someone who hardly ever wears makeup, I was extremely impressed by the results and was complimented by numerous people. I also loved how amazing I looked in the photos. I definitely recommend her!

    Maria did our makeup for a family party and it looked amazing all night. Makeup lasted for over 12 hours!!! Such a nice person, will definitely be booking her for future events!

    I got my make up done by Maria for my sister's wedding and she did an extraordinary job. This was my first time getting my make up professionally done so I was a bit hesitant since I normally keep my makeup pretty simple. Maria provided me with full coverage make up and warm tones. It didn't feel too cakey nor did it look too over the top. It was exactly what I wanted. Days before I got my make up done she contacted me to understand what look I wanted, the type of skin I had, what my normal makeup routine was, and asked for a picture of me without make up. She went above and beyond to ensure she was prepared before the big day. I didn't even have a makeup trial with her and she was still able to make me look great.

    Maria did my makeup for my engagement shoot, and it was perfect!! So many people complimented me, and my pictures came out lovely! I would definitely recommend you booking with Maria! I will be using her for future make up needs. Thank you again Maria!!

    Maria did a beautiful job on my makeup. She responded quickly to my inquiry and communicated well. On the day of Maria arrived on time with all her equipment. She was very clean as well. Her make-up application held up all day. I would 100% recommend her.

If you are familiar with the industry: she got a better booking that would make her more money and waited last minute to try and force my daughter's appoint to 10 hours before her event. And she's a bad liar...you know the type: they ramble, they over explain, etc. Simply put: she does business dirty. Unless you have a wedding with a large party that will make her more money she won't be loyal to your booking. Lastly, it took over 12 hours from the time it was confirmed I would not be using her, a venmo request, and a text to get my deposit refunded while I scrambled to find a replacement. We booked someone who came in on their birthday weekend when she heard what happened. My daughter looked STUNNING. Girl, bye. Have the life you deserve. Does dirty business.

    Don't even think about it, just book Erika! She is worth the spurge!…read moreAfter months and months of searching a hair/makeup artist, I happen to stumble upon Erika on Yelp. I wanted the splurge on hair and makeup for my wedding as I'm not very good with hair and makeup, but getting quotes from other artists was very disheartening for a while. Erika is super down to earth and extremely friendly and courteous. She's also very easy to communicate with. My hair normally doesn't keep curls or waves and my skin is super oily, but she made it work for my wedding somehow! My hair and makeup lasted all night for at least 12 hours and my skin wasn't oily until near the very end (if at all!). She provides a little touch up kit that I didn't even get to use because that's how well the makeup stayed! 100% recommending this to anyone and everyone who is thinking about hiring a hair/makeup artist.

My trial confirmed that I had made the right choice to work with her. My wedding day solidified her kind-hearted nature, relatability, and positivity. Along with being an easy person to collaborate with, Erika was also easy to communicate with and solidify details with. On top of her amazing work, the cherry on top was the little care kit she put together for me to use during a long day, complete tissues and ginger candy in case my nerves got to me! Truly, so sweet. Erika will truly make you feel taken care of on your special day.
