Shelby is an actual wedding day makeup goddess!!! I don't even know where to start with this review because it's difficult to put into words just how amazing and incredibly talented she is. When I was planning for my original wedding for 10/10/20, I reached out to Shelby (WELL in advance) but sadly she was already booked. Fast forward to peak covid, we made the decision to postpone the wedding to 10/23/21 and the only vendor that wasn't able to accommodate our new date was the MUA I previously hired. I immediately reached out to Shelby for the 2nd time, hopeful that she'd be available for the new date, and she was! I knew it was meant to be so I hired her on the spot before doing my trial. I was an out of town bride so we ended up doing a trial a few months later when I was visiting for the weekend and she made all of my wedding makeup dreams come true. I'm a makeup lover and wanted FULL GLAM for the big day and Shelby delivered 1000%! On top of her extremely talented makeup skills, she is incredibly sweet, has the best energy/so fun to be with and we hit it off instantly. I even decided to do a 2nd trial/glam sesh when I was in town again a couple months before the wedding, just because! Shelby recently opened up her own makeup glam bar/studio Toniq, and we decided to use the studio to get ready on wedding day. It was literally a dream! Toniq is THE most fabulous studio ever and I still can't even believe we had such an amazing location to get ready. We had 9 girls total for both makeup & hair and more than enough space for all of us to glam, and set up breakfast and drinks. Shelby is incredibly accommodating - provided ice, drink coolers, and even surprised us all with babe rosè (which of course we had to use in our getting ready photoshoot)! When we arrived, she already had the music playing and the mood was set for the best glam day ever. Again, it was literally a dream! If you are getting married in San Diego and have the option to get ready at Toniq, I absolutely recommend it. Our getting ready photos are better than I ever imagined and look like they belong in a bridal magazine! Shelby - thank you for everything! Postponing our wedding was challenging, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I'll be forever thankful & grateful to have had you as our MUA. There are simply not enough words to express my gratitude, but I'm so happy I had the chance to work with you and now have so many amazing photos and videos to relive all of the best moments getting glammed with my girls for the big day. These memories will last a lifetime and you truly made me feel like the most beautiful bride (not to mention, my makeup lasted ALL day & night - through A LOT of tears and endless dancing)! My entire bridal party felt the same about their makeup and we all just love and adore you! read more

I had my engagement photoshoot in San Diego in Balboa Park in January. I was traveling from OC to San Diego, so it was important for me to find a mua in SD. Shelby was so quick to respond to my inquiry, she was able to fit me in her schedule, as she was already booked with a morning appointment and my photoshoot was in the afternoon. Shelby's studio was stunning and so clean! I've never gotten my makeup professionally done so well in my life. I was able to show Shelby a few inspo pics and she worked wonders on my face! I was so incredibly happy with the outcome from her use of high quality products and overall knowledge of her craft, Shelby delivered! Thank you for such a great experience, Shelby seriously ladies, do not hesitate to book with her, you won't be disappointed! read more

I was traveling to the San Diego area and searching around ahead of time to find the right person I needed to help me get all glammed up for a very special occasion. Let me just say, Shelby was the answer to my prayers!! I reached out to her prior to my SD arrival to see if she was available and initially she wasn't due to a wedding event she had scheduled that day, but after discussing further she was able to fit me in for an morning makeup session before her wedding event and I'm forever grateful that she made the effort to squeeze me in on such short notice! She even met me at my hotel that morning and dolled me up within 45 minutes!! I was so impressed by her professionalism and her amazing makeup talent that left me looking stunning all day long!

Makeup by Shelby - Shelby is the real deal - SO TALENTED - Makeup Artists Near Me

I have to give Shelby 5 stars!!! I booked a makeup lesson with her and it was the best investment I ever made! Not only was she very patient with my schedule changing with work but she did an amazing job! She took her time and didn't make me feel rushed. I learned so much from her!

Booking Shelby was one of the very first thing I did when planning my wedding and I am so so so happy I did! I hate to admit it but I was a little intimidated by Shelby before meeting her just because she is super glam and I wasn't sure we would have much in common. But I quickly discovered that she is a super sweet, down to Earth, girls' girl whom I felt immediately comfortable with! From the first moments of my trial I knew that she was someone I would love to have in my bridal suite on my big day. Shelby did my make up for the initial trial, my engagement shoot and then my wedding. The process was super fun and collaborative. Shelby is a great listener and awesome at pinpointing exactly what you like, don't like, aren't sure about, etc. and then executing. As I already mentioned briefly, Shelby is a true girls' girl and was such a fun addition to the bridal suite. It's so important to have the right people around you on that day and Shelby's energy was such a fun and positive addition! Shelby made me look and feel like a million bucks and I know my bridesmaids all felt the same! Everyone was glowing and looked incredible! Our make up remained stunning til the party ended at 1 AM and probably would have looked amazing even the next day had I not washed my face. Shelby's assistant Heather also did such a beautiful job on all 3 moms in the wedding which was the one thing I was concerned about since they were all of different ages and mature skin can look cakey with too much make up. Heather didn't weigh down their skin at all, they all looked glowy and beautiful! Shelby is super responsive and professional. She answered all my random questions as I texted her in the months leading up to the wedding and never made me feel like a nuisance. She is truly a joy to work with. I have never felt so glamorous, sexy, confident as I did on my wedding day and I owe a lot of that to Shelby! read more

You're looking for a Makeup Artist for your wedding day? Graduation? First Date? Anniversary? whatever that is you're looking for someone to do your makeup, well you've reached the right yelp review page and stop searching because Shelby is THE person you want to do your makeup for that special occasion. I was honored to have stumbled upon her Instagram account and I think eventually yelp and it was a no brainer... she is an AMAZING makeup artist. I don't have amazing skin, I have a lot of acne scars from really severe acne as a teenager. Shelby made my face look beautiful for my engagement pictures and most importantly my wedding day. She is super professional, she is always ON time which now a days in unheard of and most likely she will get to your destination early. She is very good at what she does, you can tell she enjoys it and she is always more than happy to change something you don't like. She makes you feel comfortable and she is just very down to earth gal but with some MAJOR glam powers. On my wedding day she was so patient and she went above and beyond, my mother in law wanted to get her eyes done and Shelby ended up doing her whole face :) My mother in law loved it! Everyone's makeup was amazing. Thank you for making us look amazing and for being such an amazing glam boss babe! :) read more

Makeup is something that has always been a love of mine. Ever since I was little, if the house was too quiet, you could most likely find me snooping through my mom's makeup drawer. When it came to my wedding day, I thought finding my make up artist would be my biggest challenge ... BUT then I found Shelby. She was recommended by a friend and I truly owe them all the thanks in the world. Shelby is extremely talented and passionate. She makes it look easy! Sitting in the make up chair hours before I was about to say, "I do" I felt nothing but calm and ready. She is personable and really great at making you comfortable. Y'all, she even let me keep the lipstick she used on me which was really cool - a small reminder of our beautiful wedding. She's professional, punctual, talented and fun to be around. As you can see, there are MANY amazing reviews about Shelby and they all speak to her talents. I can't even express how grateful I am to have had her glam up myself and my wedding party. You should absolutely book Shelby, you will be nothing short of gorgeous on your wedding day! read more

This review is LONG overdue, but here it is. Shelby did my makeup for my wedding and IT WAS AMAZING. I've never felt more glamorous. My bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law also had their makeup done and looked so beautiful! She knows how to transform exactly what Each of us wanted into reality. She also knew how to give the right balance of natural and glam. Months after my wedding my mom and I took Shelby's make up class. I've always been ok at doing my makeup but Shelby's class got me to the next level. She also provides recommendations for products that really helped me as well. I get compliments on my makeup all the time now! My mom had the best time and also learned quite a few things that have made her feel more confident. I couldn't recommend Shelby more!!! read more

I don't even know where to begin to be honest. Shelby is sweet, funny, professional, overall amazing human being. Shelby is the first makeup artist that I have gone with that knew how to work with my skin color. I told her that's day "do whatever you want!" Risky I know but I knew I was in good hands.(magical hands!) I loved my makeup for my wedding and felt beautiful!! Thank you Shelby I can't stop looking at my photos. read more

Ok, so basically Shelby is absolutely AMAZING. When I started the whole wedding process, she was my absolute first choice for a makeup artist. Unfortunately, I procrastinated and by the time I contacted her, she was booked. After doing about 8 different makeup trails (literally!) and feeling extremely discouraged, I decided to go out on a whim and contact her again to see if by chance she was available on my wedding date. To be surprise, she was! Before even doing a trial, I had her send me her contract and I paid the deposit just to secure my date (she books up that fast!). We scheduled a bridal trial about 2 months out from my wedding date. After the trial was complete, I literally almost cried at how happy I was! She really took the time to get a vision of what it was I wanted. She wanted to know what I didn't like about the other bridal trials I had, what I did like, etc. I totally appreciated this because during my other trials, no other makeup artist really went out of their way to ensure they completely understood what it was I looking for. When it came time to the big day, she was prompt, professional, and overall fun! My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law absolutely LOVED her. All of them looked absolutely stunning! We received SO many compliments on our makeup and I'm SO happy with the way I looked. Shelby is amazing! She was the only makeup artist to send me a contract, take the time to really understand my vision for how I wanted to look, and sent me a timeline for the day-of. She makes you feel completely comfortable in the chair, she's easy to talk to, she's professional, and overall an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm so happy she was my makeup artist! If you're looking for a makeup artist, seriously- look no further. Shelby is your girl! The pictures and her work speak for itself. Just make sure to book far in advance! She books up fast! Thank you Shelby for being a part of my special day and making me look amazing!!!! read more

I was planning a pin-up inspired costume for comic con and was also planning on meeting up with talented photographers so I could have good quality photos. I do make-up okay for stuff that's just day-to-day, but I wanted my make-up to be ON POINT for this. A little internet searching and stalking of photos led me to decide on Shelby because her work looked fantastic. I reached out to her a few months ago and she already had several days I was considering booked. When I followed up about an alternate day, she said was available so I confirmed right away. She came to meet me at my parent's house where I was staying. We discussed what I wanted via email, but we discussed it a bit more in person and then she got to work. I was really happy to discover that Shelby is very friendly. It's already fun to get your make-up done, but the fact that she was so nice to me and my family (who was there while she worked) made it even more enjoyable. Once she was finished, she revealed her work to me and I LOVED it! It was exactly what I was hoping for and more. She took into consideration that the make-up was for a costume that I'd be wearing all day and night, and it definitely held up. I even went out to have drinks with friends and danced most of the night. A photo a friend took at the end of the night showed my face still looking flawless. Shelby also directed me to an amazing hair stylist to get my hair done for the costume, Madison Jane. Shelby and Madison created such a dreamy look for me, I wish I could look like I did that day EVERY day! I would highly highly HIGHLY recommend Shelby! I wish I lived in San Diego so I could always hire her for everything. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Shelby!! She was extremely easy to book, and does trials in the comfort of your home making it super easy. Fast forward to the big day, she was early! I was the bride and had 4 bridesmaids and my mother in law get their makeup done and every single one of us was absolutely blown away. My mom stubbornly refuses to EVER have people do her makeup, and admitted to us that she regrets Shelby not doing hers. I'm a very pale girl and cannot handle a lot of makeup, and she was beyond receptive to that and made me feel bride glam while still making me feel like myself. San Diego brides - BOOK SHELBY! Weddings are so so stressful, and this was one of the most seamless parts of my big day. read more

A group of 6 of us all got our makeup done by her on prom and it turned out absolutely amazing which I totally expected!! I received SO many compliments on my makeup on prom night and I even wore it the next day. I loved it so much that I even had her come back like 2.5 weeks later and do my makeup for my graduation ceremony. She was at my house at 5:30 in the morning and did my makeup & my friends. Once again, it was perfect. Thank you shelby!! There's a reason why this girl is booked a year in advance, she truly has so much talent! read more

BOOK HER NOW. Seriously if your getting married, you need Shelby to do your make up. Don't even hesitate, Shelby is hands down the most talented make up artist I have ever encountered. She can do any style, any color combo, really whatever you want. I was so indecisive and had multiple trials, and started trying all kinds of looks. I did a trial for every look I thought I may want. I don't wear a ton of make up day to day so Shelby recommended certain colors and types of make up specific for my skin and complexion! She immediately connects with you and honestly feels like a friend more than anything! All my girls LOVED the make up Shelby and her team did. Everyone looked stunning and had so much fun getting ready. I can't thank Shelby enough for making me feel absolutely stunning at my wedding and being such an amazing person throughout the entire experience! Shelby did my make up for the rehearsal dinner and we went with a funkier color scheme, which I LOVED. We went with a natural look for the wedding. THANK YOU. Xoxoxo read more

This review is LONG overdue. I originally hired Shelby to do my make up for my wedding last year and I along with all of my 8 bridesmaids and 2 aunts could not have been happier with her work. So much that one of them hired her for her wedding, another for her 30th birthday and a sorority sister that I hadn't spoken to in years reached out about her as well based on photos. Some make up artist are only able to accomplish certain looks. Shelby is not that make up artist, she can truly do anything you want her to. She has done my make up a total of three times now and it always looks great, lasts all day/night and if she weren't so darn busy I would have her do it more often! Find and follow her on Facebook and you will be able to see a large range of before and afters. She does what you want and she does it so well not to mention she is a blast to have around. She books fast and is worth every penny!! read more

Let me tell you - after my makeup trial with Shelby I was FEELING myself. My phone is full of selfies from that day and on the wedding day, I felt SO beautiful.

Shelby is an incredible makeup artist and she's so so talented. Makeup has never been my strong suit, and she came over to my home and gave me an amazing in-depth 1:1 lesson. I highly recommend her to everyone. She's so patient, explains things in great detail, and she leaves you feeling way more confident than ever before. She just knows what looks good on you and is always willing to give tips and tricks that she's learned over the years. I wish I could just have her do my makeup all day, every day! Whether you need lessons, coaching, private events, special occasions, etc, she'll give you guys exactly what you need (and didn't even know you wanted!). read more

Long over due review! Best MUA out there. I'll start by saying I am such a make up girl. I love all make up glam and I am just SO picky with mua. I've never had my make up done and not had to tweak things myself... until Shelby. Not only did I not tweak my make up, I didn't want to move because I had never felt so pretty in my entire life.. I didn't want the make up to ever leave my face! ( and it didn't until I showered the next day, It was still flawless in the morning because I was too tired to wash my face on my wedding night). I was really worried about finding an artist that would make me feel as good as I hoped on my wedding day but after reading all Shelby's reviews I felt comfortable booking her with a trial as well (just in case). OMG once we did the trial and I was so elated it took such a big worry burden off my back, I knew no matter what happened on my wedding day I was going to look and feel the best I ever have. Along with myself, seven of the bridesmaids also had their make up done by Shelby and everyone looked SO INCREDIBLE. She tailored their make up to compliment the dresses they were wearing and everyone looked so put together and stunning, the wedding photos are unbelievable. My mom also used Shleby's services and she was so happy, I've never seen her more confident and feel so good about herself! Shelby arrived early and set up a very professional studio area in our suite and began working on the bridesmaids, she was able to do seven bridesmaids along with myself and my mom and finish early!! The amount of stress that I avoided using Shleby as our mua was priceless. Her professionalism and talent is not projected in her prices at all... on top of being THE BEST, she's very reasonably priced! I cannot thank Shelby enough for making me feel so beautiful and stress free on my wedding day. Seriously, do yourself a favor and book her now before its too late! read more

Shelby did my makeup for my engagement photos and wedding. She is incredible and I cannot rave about her enough but I'll try. Shelby has such a fantastic, warm and caring personality, she makes you feel comfortable right away and excited for whatever event she is doing your makeup for. At my trial, I only showed her a couple of pictures as examples, but I trusted her to do whatever she thought looked best on me. She did an incredible job and nailed it on the first try. She even lemme borrow some lip gloss for reapplication since we were traveling one hour away for the photos. My wedding was just last Friday, and again-Shelby was extraordinary! All of my bridesmaids looked the best I've ever seen them and my mother looked gorgeous. Shelby can do fantastic makeup on anyone-any age! She also helped calm me down as I was getting the wedding jitters and made sure things were happening on time like the bridesmaids steaming their dresses and other little details that had escaped my mind. Overall, Shelby is the best makeup artist I have ever encountered: professional, warm, fun, beautiful inside and out and just a stellar person. I would recommend her for any special occasion you have coming up. Trusting vendors is sometimes hard during your wedding planning and process, but I never had a doubt in my mind that Shelby would deliver above and beyond-which she did! read more

Absolutely Love Love Love Shelby, she was very professional and works efficiently. She also has a very warming personality that doesn't make you feel awkward while doing your make up, even when meeting for the first time. Highly recommend her!

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting Shelby McElroy when I dropped of the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets for my bride. Shelby did a fabulous job on the makeup for my bride, Sarah, her bridesmaids, and the mamas of the bride and groom. Shelby's makeup chair and supplies were clean and neatly laid out, conveying both her passion and professionalism in the way she operates her business. The looks she created highlighted the individual features of each woman and matched the elegance of the occasion. I was able to see a glimpse from the photographer and saw how beautifully the makeup photographed, too. (Shelby has a background in makeup training for motion pictures and television, so she has the skills and knowledge of making her clients look like themselves but better for the camera ;) .) Beautifully done, professional, and talented. read more

Shelby has been doing my makeup for almost three years now - from engagement to wedding to maternity...she's done it all! I will never be able to compliment Shelby in a way that does her art justice, she is unlike any other makeup artist out there. She takes her time getting to know each client individually and in return, can deliver exactly what you had envisioned. Shelby is extremely professional and brings a great vibe bursting with fun to the room. Her work never looks rushed or incomplete, yet she is prompt and thorough. She is always on time and has her station set up with clean brushes and a comfortable chair quicker than you can ask "Are you ready for me?". I will never sway from Shelby and the amazing work she has produced every time I sit down in her chair. Having a makeup artist bring a sense of life to your face that you never knew existed is not easy to come by, yet Shelby does it effortlessly. She is truly one of a kind. read more
