April is a gifted artist. When it came to choosing a make up artist to do my make up for my special…read moreday, there was NO hesitation of who my first pick was. April makes you feel comfortable throughout the process and has a great warm energy. I don't wear a lot of make typically so I wanted a more natural look but enhanced so that I felt a little extra special on the day, and of course, a look that will photograph well. She exceeded what I could have ever dreamed. She was able to put a look together that would match the occasion, dress and me! I HIGHLY recommend April and her team. You will NOT be disappointed. You will feel like a princess all day. THANK YOU APRIL!

For anyone not looking to read a long drawn out review full of beautiful details about my…read moreexperience. I'm going to do you a quick favor and start with the point and work my way backwards. THE POINT: you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire April and her team. She is everything you need and want in a makeup artist. She is, amongst other things, a consummate professional, unbelievably talented and insanely efficient! Call her! Book her! I can not stress this enough! You're welcome. Now THE DETAILS: I had the great fortune of hiring April for my Lake Arrowhead wedding April 2016. In the lead up to the day I can't tell you how great it was to have a person say, "hey.. don't worry, I'll take care of that." I threw a tall order at April. I had 9 Bridesmaids, myself and 2 Mom's that all wanted their makeup done. For a quick translation that's 12 faces! 12 very different, wonderful faces that April took on without pause. Now, if you can imagine what the time line looks like to have 12 full faces of makeup done it's pretty overwhelming. But April, being the consummate professional that she is, connected with the hairstylists and made a schedule for each girl. They decided when someone would be in hair and when they'd need to be in makeup. Even taking into consideration what each lady had individually to do throughout the day. She/they did all of this with out me needing to be involved other than to give her the names of who needed to be in her chair. They made a chart and contacted all the girls so they would know their time slots and when to arrive! What a relief to have someone else handle that detail! As the girls started to show (and not all on time) April kept busy and flexible. She never got flustered, she rolled with the punches and had everyone looking FLAWLESS! She listened to my requests of "not to overdone" but still was able to make each girl feel beautiful and made up to their own individual comfort level and somehow stay uniform in a beautiful way. I mean that's an unbelievable talent! Each had a berry tone lip, but a berry that went with their skin tone. I mean it was out of this world! Although we did have to start pretty early to get everyone done the insane efficiency that April works with got everyone done, on point and FLAWLESS in a truly unbelievable amount of time. She handled everyone with care, but also with speed in a manor that kept us right on target with timing! I still to this day can't believe she got 12 full faces done! So grateful! My (now) husband and I decided to do first look photos. So once I was ready I went down to meet him. We took a ton of photos and by the time we were done, I'll tell you I put a beating on that makeup! Tears, long kisses and a husband with a beard gave that long wear a run for its money.. Haha.. and we still had the whole ceremony to do!! But, to my great delight, my makeup had stayed mostly in it's place and just required a dab of April magic to get me back to bridal perfection. She was there and ready durring every group photo after that. To touch up anything that required it. I just new photos were going to be the best I'd ever seen. As a bride or just a person looking to feel beautiful I can't tell you how much it means to know that your look is taken care of. There are so many other places in our day that require our undivided attention. I say give your energy where it's best served, to the other important things. Because this is a person you can wholly trust to take on the great burden of how you look, so you can focus on everything else. Is not only a saving grace but a necessity in my eyes. My day, my bridesmaids.. they wouldn't have been the same without April and her care. You are in great hands! If I could give 100 stars I would! THANK YOU!!

Yuri did the makeup for myself (bride), my mom, and my mother in law for my wedding. I would…read moredefinitely recommend her! Yuri made us all look beautiful and she was very flexible for accommodating us considering schedule and venue restraints. My mother wasn't able to fit in a trial (she was flying in just a couple days before the wedding and we were fully booked with other wedding requirements) and my MIL wasn't interested in a trial. My schedule was a bit harder to work with as well. On the day of the wedding, the venue limited the amount of time we had to get ready, so the three appointments needed to be done back to back in a fairly tight timeframe. All of this to say, we were probably weren't the easiest of clients to work with, but Yuri was professional and patient. She accommodated our needs and did a great job, too. She was always really friendly and explained everything I needed to know really clearly. Most of our wedding vendors replied to messages within 24 hours, and her timeline was more like 2-4 days (not a long time, but when trying to coordinate multiple appointments with multiple vendors in tight timeframes, this could feel like a long time), and that's the only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, we were all really pleased with Yuri and our finished makeup looks!

Although I was skeptical about getting my makeup done for my wedding because I don't usually wear make up, Maria made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process.

She also did my mom's makeup which turned put beautiful, too. The touchup kit she provided came in extra handy and was such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Maria & can't wait for the next special occasion to book with her.

She really took her time, and gave me a look I would be hard pressed to recreate. She was very skilled with color correcting and was able to effectively cover the red blotchy spots on my cheeks as well as the dark circles under my eyes. She was also sweet enough to let me use some of her thick wispy lashes she uses! ( I think it was Koko brand) What I enjoyed most of the experience was listening to her soothing voice. She has a very calming presence, and I felt relaxed and stress free! I would definitely come back to her for any special event, as well as recommend her to all my friends.
