You will not regret the decision to have Raven take care of your face for your special event!!! Not only is she a wonderful, kind and sweet soul, she is remarkably talented and did absolutely amazing work on myself, my sister and my mother in law on my wedding day as well as my trial! Raven is an absolute professional, she was amazing with communication throughout the entire process, arrived to my hotel early, set up in a good spot for lighting, took THE BEST care of my sister, my mother in law, and then myself (all of us deciding that morning what we wanted - and Raven DELIVERED), and reached out even afterwards with such kind words. I truly just can't find words to do her justice. She is all around amazing. PLEASE look through the pictures I'm posting and let her work speak for itself. She is a goddess. Thank you so much Raven for everything (Ps waiting on more wedding photos from the photographer, will update when received!) read more

Raven did an awesome job on my makeup! She listened to what I wanted, and she was willing to make most of the decisions for me since I don't know much about make up or what looks best. While in the chair, she made sure I was comfortable and continually checked in on me. She showed me my makeup to make sure I liked it and asked if I wanted anything changed or fixed. She also curled my hair for me, and it all turned out great! I was very pleased and would definitely go back. read more

I hired Raven to my makeup and hair and my younger daughter's as well for my other daughter's wedding (the Bride had a makeup artist already). Raven was super easy to work with, she responds right away and makes the process smooth and stress-free. She showed up at the hotel on time and was able to work around the other makeup artist easily even though space was tight. Megan and I felt and looked so glamorous! the best part was that even though we had some chaos in the middle of the day and we were not able to touch up our makeup or hair it lasted well into the night and looked just as fresh as it did 12 hours earlier. I have very oily skin and usually need many touch ups, but I barely had time to even use the restroom, let alone check my face. To my surprise it lasted and didn't get oily or melt in any way. Thanks Raven! read more

I found Raven on Instagram and I'm so glad I did! She is a true artist and beyond lovely to work with. She did my makeup for our engagement shoot and wedding day and made me feel so beautiful on both occasions. Idk what kind of voodoo magic she does but on both occasions my makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night. I didn't have to touch up a thing. What I love most about Raven is her kindness and sweet spirit. Working with her was such an enjoyable stress-free experience. On the wedding day I decided against dramatic lashes and wanted to darken up the eyeshadow we had previously decided on and she was so sweet about it. She lets the bride dictate what they want and I value that so much! Not only did I feel beautiful but I felt like myself (and enhanced version of course), and that was really important to me. If I have the chance to work with Raven again I 100% will. I'm pretty sure I'll make up a reason to get my makeup done in the near future because she is THAT amazing. read more

My experience with Raven was nothing short of magical. She made me feel like the most beautiful princess bride. From the trial to the actual wedding day she was sweet, professional and made me feel so confident. She has such a gift! She never makes you feel like she's covering anything up, only exaggerates your best qualities. She listens to your wishes and will make suggestions without being pushy. Your makeup will stay put your entire event, I literally slept in my makeup the night of my wedding and I woke up with it still looking flawless. You can feel how passionate she is and I know she takes every client experience to heart. I will never ask anyone else to do my makeup. read more

Ravin' about Raven! A little background about how I found Raven: I had been told through mutual friends who had worked with Raven on their wedding days about Raven's talents, but I am VERY hesitant to work with makeup artists who I haven't worked with before on professional photo shoots- as I don't want to be disappointed with their artistry or personality ( which were the exact opposite feelings I had after working with Raven the very first time!) Raven and I started talking on social media, about setting up a collaboration with a local female photographer and had set our "Shoot" date for a few weeks away. Before the big photo shoot day, I decided I wanted to book Raven for a private event I had- she was local, her prices are super competitive, and I've heard nothing but rave ( no pun intended ) reviews, and her "before and after" photos I'd seen told me she knew what she was doing and could do so many different looks! Raven was on time, professional, sweet as an angel, hygienic, soft spoken, willing to hear me out on my crazy makeup ideas ( can you make my nose look the size of an m&m ?!) and SO easy to work with. I LOVE RAVEN In fact, I loved her so much I invited her out to the event! So come time for photo shoot day, I knew I didn't have to keep checking in the mirror to see how my "slay" was coming along, as I trust her with anything she wants to do to my face, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Since these events I've recommended her to my very good friend for her wedding day makeup ( who is a bikini designer, who has extremely high standards after we working with many women and makeup artists) Do yourself a favor, and book Raven for a night out, a fun photo shoot, your big day, or just to Netflix and chill. Attaching photos of the makeup she did for my photo shoot and event. read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I was lucky enough to find Raven to do my makeup for my engagement shoot here on Yelp. She lives close to my home and even came to my house to do my makeup. I was completely blown away by her skills and immediately wanted her to do my makeup for my wedding as well. My wedding was close to three hours away and I'm so happy that it worked out for Raven to come to the venue to do my makeup and also the makeup of almost all my bridesmaids and my mother. Everyone raved about Raven's work, including my mother who is difficult to impress. She's an incredibly kind and caring person both inside and out and I will sing her praises to anyone that will listen! I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and this is in large part due to her work. I will definitely use Raven for makeup services in the future, and you should too, you will love both her and her work! read more

On the day of the wedding, she showed up right on time and got right to work with a happy, friendly and fun personality to add to her amazing talent. If there were ten stars, I'd give them! read more

Raven is such an incredibly talented makeup artist. She did my makeup for a photo shoot and I was so impressed with her talent that I went back for a makeup teaching session with her. She was so patient with me and gave such helpful tips. I loved that she made me practice applying makeup myself so that I would be able to replicate the look at home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RAVEN for both professional makeup application and to help teach how to apply makeup correctly. Not only is she gifted at what she does, but she is also super friendly and makes you feel completely at ease. read more

Raven is the most talented, sweetest woman in the world. I literally stumbled across her 5 years ago to do my makeup for some family photos. Now, she is my go-to person for anything beauty related. This woman is magical. She makes me look and feel like an absolute queen. I never feel "too" made up either. Raven brings out all of my best features and always makes me feel comfortable. She is also so darn personal, warm and loving. She is a woman that you always want to be around, she brings the best out of everyone she comes into contact with. I am beyond grateful to have her by my side for so many milestones in my life. Thank you, Raven! read more

I got a referral for Raven two days before a big maternity shoot and I am so grateful the stars aligned and she was able to help me! She not only has a true gift with makeup, but she is one of the kindest, most humble and warm women.

I would recommend her 1,000 times over. My only regret is that I did not find her sooner! You are doing yourself a favor to book glam with Raven ASAP! read more

Raven was great! I used her for my maternity photo shoot this last week. Not only was she super friendly and personable, she was extremely talented and professional. She arrived with everything needed to get the look desired and even asked for a few photos to make sure she and I were on the same page. I'm pretty easy going and let her do her thing, but it was reassuring to be able to look at some ideas prior. My makeup was done in the morning but lasted all day until my shoot at 5pm. I was impressed with the coverage and how I didn't need any touch ups, including my lipstick. My makeup photographed extremely well and I got a ton of compliments throughout the day. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her! read more

If you're looking for an amazing makeup artist look no further. Raven is the Creme de la Creme! First of all, I had to take my toddler with me to get my makeup done for family photos and she was so warm and welcoming. She brought out toys for her to play with and was just so sweet. Secondly, she listened to me in terms of what I was looking for and gave me her suggestions as well. She really studies your facial structure and gives you an honest opinion on what would suit you and what colors would work best based on your skin tone and eye color. She was so easy to talk to throughout the process, it felt as if she was a close friend of mine! She is meticulous in her work. When she was done with my makeup, I wanted to cry tears of joy because she did an impeccable job. My skin was dewy, glowing, and my eyes looked incredible. When you're a mom of a two year old, there isn't much time to get done up. I felt beautiful and immediately more confident. Our family photos turned out stunning. I will be using Raven for any and all events I have in the future. Raven, thank you for making me feel beautiful and being so amazing at what you do! read more

I definitely recommend Raven for any event. read more

I read multiple testaments to how kind and sweet raven is. I figured ok cool she's nice and professional. Then I met her and worked with her and truly understood what everyone else was saying. Raven really has the kindest soul and truly cares about her brides. Last minute I needed to find a new makeup artist and I am so incredibly thankful she was available. Not only is she one of the nicest people I've met, she is a phenomenal artist. She isn't the typical wedding artist that does the same look on each bride with minimal changes. She caters to the face and features of each person and knows how to showcase their best qualities. My bridal makeup was better than I could have ever wanted and all my bridesmaids and my mom looked beautiful. I could probably write an entire essay on why you should book her, but if you are here reading this and you found her, then you'll probably be like me. Because the second I saw her work on Instagram I knew she was who I wanted to work with on my big day. And Raven if you're reading this, thank you again for the millionth time! read more

I am going to start this off by saying if you are looking for a professional who is passionate about their work, follows through, and exceeds expectations, Raven is whom you need. All I can say is Raven was my saving grace on my wedding day. The original makeup artist that I booked for my wedding canceled at 11:00 pm over email the night before my wedding. I did not see the cancellation until the morning of my wedding, in panic and scramble with a few hours to spare I was on the hunt for a makeup artist to help me & my wedding party for my special day. Raven is not only a talented and detailed artist, but she is a remarkable and extraordinary woman who was able to calm a distressed bride and show up ready to rock and roll. As a bride, you are juggling many vendors and managing many things on your wedding day. You don't have to worry about Raven; she will have you and your bridal party looking beautiful with time to spare. read more
