She is AMAZING!!! Being taught by the QUEEN herself was an absolute blessing and incredible experience!!! My MUA skills were brought to light in her course. If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! #yeyataughtme If you're looking to improve your makeup skills this is the woman to go to!!! Thank you Yeya for everything! You are a blessing and absolute treasure read more

Her work looks amazing but it's been 4 weeks and I've DM, text and even left a comment and no response. I totally get we are all busy and have busy lives but actively you are posting and adding stories daily which you are completely entitled to. But where is the customer service if you are providing services. Even a simple response saying you are not available within a week or two is somewhat reasonable. read more

I just met Yeya earlier this afternoon and I couldn't wait to write a review for her. I feel like a new woman thanks to her talent! I've never looked better and have never been more confident. Her skills, knowledge, attention-to-detail, efficiency, and ability to connect to others is second to none. Also, her studio is super clean, modern, and adorable. During the pandemic, I haven't gone out much so I was nervous beforehand. But she has such great protocols in place, ensuring she's providing a very safe, Covid-free place. I couldn't have been more at ease and comfortable. I can't say enough good things about her and would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

OK Ladies! If you are pro-glam (or not, but still needs to have their make up done from time to time) and still looking for that someone who does a SUPERB job, look no more because Yeya is your girl. She is not your average MUA. With over 140K followers on Instagram, she's someone who has been doing this for years. a master that honed her talent and shares her knowledge through her classes. A true artist that takes pride with her work and will give you advise on what kind of look will suit you and the occasion that you're going to. I met her at a friends wedding where she glam'ed most of us bridesmaids and of course the bride herself. I love her work so much that I ditched my mua that I have for years, who even travels to my house to do my make up and switched to Yeya. What can I say, Yeya just makes me "prettier" =) I am a super fan that I am getting her to do my engagement photo shoot and wedding! She doesn't disappoint y'all! read more

This review is looooong over due I wish I knew she had yelp earlier lol I took yeyas makeup course in 2016 I was only 17 years old and months from graduating high school. I took her course with the little $$ I had and let's just say I've been blessed a thousand times more ever since. If you are looking for a secure makeup school to invest in your future yeya is the one for you! She is so dedicated and keeps her classes small so she has a lot of individual time to give to each one of her students. She answers all the questions in the book and not only does she dedicate herself to teach during class she will also be your life long mentor after you graduate after graduating her course it instantly became my career path, I felt like all thruout the years I did well as a makeup artist because I was taught by her and a few years ago I decided to take a refresh course and man did everything change! She seriously updates her techniques to current trends and she's always bettering her techniques. She also doesn't hold back on her tips and secrets and did I forget to mention ONLY students get access to that. So now let me talk about yeya.... she is so sweet like seriously a HEART OF GOLD she's very humble but she keeeps it ! She's very respectful and funny too she makes the environment in class such a good time and she becomes like a mother as she refers to all of her students as her babies I can't express how much yeyas course changed my life not only career wise but she helped me find myself and made me realize I needed to change myself for the sake of my future and I'm so glad I did. If I could I would stay in her class for ever!!! If you are serious about being a makeup artist and want a future in the industry please take a look at yeyas course you won't regret it I promise below I posted a picture of when I first started doing makeup to now read more

Honestly this persons make up looks appear great online but if they are actually nice I will never know. I have tried for literal weeks to contact her even by the ways she recommends. I reached out to her via email, phone, and instagram. Nothing warranted a response, it's been months. If you are looking for someone to do your make up skip trying to reach out to her. read more

I am picky when it comes to makeup, that is why I only went to one artist for years until I found Yeya on Instagram! She is really creative and isn't afraid to do bold makeup. Her color combinations are awesome. I like that she has a wide range of styles and pushes me to think outside the box when it comes to makeup but still manages to do it in a subtle way so it still resembles my style. Another pro is that she is familiar with many cosmetic lines and has recommended products that I wouldn't be familiar with if she hadn't recommended them like an eyebrow kit that I love. Her work speaks for itself! Check out her Instagram for more pictures of her work: makeupbyyeya. read more

Yeya is simply an amaaaazing makeup artist! Her talent is exceptional, and she has a great eye for bringing out the glamour and beauty in every individual she works with. Her presentation is that of a true professional. I have been to one of Yeya's hands-on cut crease workshop and participated in her 2014 Toy Drive Group Workshop as well. You just learn SO much from her, BELIEVE me. FYI~ she has amazing and unbeatable holiday specials...by appointment ONLY, of course...so keep an eye out for them ;) Highly recommend Yeya! Yeya es simplemente una maquiladora artística asombrosa! Su talento es excepcional ya que tiene un gran ojo para resaltar el glamour y la belleza en cada individuo con quien trabaja. Su presentación es la de una verdadera profesional. He estado en uno de los talleres de Yeya donde practicamos la técnica del 'cut crease'y créanme que realmente aprendes mucho de ella. Estén en alerta porque durante los días festivos suele a poner precios increíbles e inigualables en el área. Definitivamente les recomiendo a Yeya! Habla español :) read more

I have one word for yeya: incredible! She did my make up for my wedding ( two ceremonies, so two different looks) and I was blown away by both of them!

Yeya is nothing short of amazing! I have gone to Mac and Urban Decay several times before to get my make up done and I was never really one hundred percent happy after. However, once I got Yeyas information and made my first appointment at her wonderful studio, she got stuck with me as a client permanently haha. She's truly amazing at what she does and a total sweetheart. Not only is the make up perfect but I totally love the fact that she'll even give you tips and pointers on how you can do your own make up and style. Ohhh and for the bonus the fact that you can get your hair and make up done all in one studio is a major plus! I can rant on about how amazing she is and I will never go to another artist again, but her work speaks for itself and all it'll take is one appointment to convince someone that she is the best there is in the Bay Area! read more

Yeya is one of the best make up artists. She has very good taste, and knows her job very well. She has an artistic talent and it helps She pays attention to her customer needs. I was really satisfied with her work, and highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Yeya for the fabulous job :) read more

I've been wanting to book her for my prom makeup for a while (about 2 weeks), but I can never get a hold of her. I've been emailing, calling, and even commenting on her pictures. She has still not contacted me back, which sucks because I hear she has good service but yet can't reply to my email? Hope to hear before the 25th :(. read more

Bottom line, Yeya is sweet and very talented, but she is horrible at correspondence. She's a very experienced MUA and networks herself a lot on Instagram but she doesn't answer her texts messages or emails until she feels like it. Long story short, I tried to book her for my wedding and she would never text me back (it would take her a week or 2) so I had to book someone else. I don't have time to wait 2 weeks for a simple answer, I'm sure any bride planning their wedding would feel me on this. What irritated me the most is she instagrams multiple times a day everyday but she could not answer my text messages...couldn't even say "oh sorry I'll get back to you when I can!" just plain ignored me! Can't stand it when people aren't professional! read more

Yeya did all my makeup looks for my wedding (4 looks). I trusted her enough to allow her to surprise me and each time she managed to compliment my outfits and create a unique look. I was blown away every time! She was punctual and professional and made waking up at 4am fun with her amazing personality. Not only did the makeup look spectacular but it lasted for over 12 hours through tons of dancing and summer weather. Yeya is AMAZING!!!! Cannot wait for her to do my makeup again!! read more
