Waking up at 6 AM to have my makeup done is not my idea of a fun time, but Sara made the whole experience so enjoyable. She did the makeup exactly the way I asked her to and it turned out so much better than I could've imagined. She was so precise and took her time with everything. Without a doubt I will be returning for all my future makeup needs. Thanks Sara for being so lovely and easy to talk to! read more

I first had my makeup done by Sara several years ago when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. I was so happy with her work that fast forward to my own engagement, I knew I had to book Sara for my wedding. I reached out and she drew up a contract for me. Our venue is about an hour away and she was willing to travel to me for a reasonable fee. I made a small deposit, and I had her booked! She has the best personality and completely knows how to enhance my best features. I always leave her chair looking like myself but prettier. Highly recommend. read more

Sara is so sweet! She makes the whole process of lifting and tinting your lashes a breeze! She makes sure you are comfortable and know what is going on. This was actually my first time getting my lashes lifted and I now know who I will be coming back to. You basically get to lay down and relax for an hour while she does the work to get you some POPPIN lashes. Would recommend this friendly gal to anyone whose considering getting their lashes done. I'm only 1 day in and already love the look of these new lashes Can't wait to see what they look like after the 48 hr period too! read more

This service was a game changer for me. It's been a month since my lash lift with Sara and so far I'm blown away. As an avid lash extensionista, I didn't think a lash lift (aka lash perm, permanent lash curl) would give me a wow factor. But it really did. I haven't worn makeup.... because I don't need to. My lashes are darker and curled which is amazing. Even when I do wear makeup, it's a lot less cumbersome. Some concealer, some bottom mascara, maybe bronzer. It's really changed my routine and I feel more confident face timing. Yes that's a thing. Judge me for my vanity while reading reviews for a cosmetic service ..... read more

WHERE DO I BEGIN! I met Sara when she did my makeup at my sister's wedding. She did the makeup for me, the other two bridesmaids and the bride (my sister). My picture is posted above and I posted some with this as well. I think the work speaks for itself. Sara is so pleasant and professional and does an amazing job. I was shocked to learn she hasn't been a makeup artist her whole life because her work is beyond amazing. As usual my skin was breaking out right before a major event- my sister's wedding! Sara made my skin look flawless without looking cakey. She not only killed it on my makeup but everyone's makeup. The makeup also lasted all night (got my makeup done at noon and it was still on at midnight!). I'm excited to have more events in LA so that I can call Sara to do my makeup. Also she's a gem and listened to everyone's requests which can be hard on stressful event days. read more

I'm very picky when it comes to getting my make up done. I don't like my face feeling like it has thick layers of foundation on. Every time​ a makeup artist has attempted to apply eyeliner on the top of the ​lid or that cat-eye look I've hated it. I like a very light and natural look too. From my first experience working with Sara, I knew I'd finally found a true makeup ARTIST. My first session with Sara was for my first wedding coordinating gig. I wanted a clean, fresh, polished look with a bold lip color. Nothing over the top or dramatic. Throughout the entire wedding day, my makeup never faltered. I did not have to reapply anything except for my lipstick. My face didn't feel itchy or uncomfortable​. AND I had guests and members of the bridal party complimenting my makeup ALL. DAY. LONG. From then on, I've encouraged every one of my brides and clients to book their bridal makeup​ session with Stellar Alchemist. Those who have booked her, have been more than happy with their look. Since that very first session on, every time I've had to coordinate an event I book Sara to do my makeup. Because I've come to completely​ trust her skills and her judgment​ I give her free reign to do whatever she thinks is best for my look. When she suggests purple glitter eyeliner, I say OK! Because when she's working on your face, she's working​ with YOUR specific face, your cheekbones​, your eye shape, your skin tone, ​and your skin texture. She is truly an artist and your face is her canvas. For my last wedding coordinating gig of the year, I asked for gold eyeshadow, and she transformed me into a golden goddess. What more could you ask for from a talented makeup artist?​ read more

Where do I start? I had never done a lash lift before so my nerves about dropping a chunk of change for my very stubbornly straight lashes were a little at a high. Sara not only was able to rearrange her schedule so I could come in last minute, but she honestly is one of the sweetest souls out there. She invites you into this very professional set up room in her home, talks you through every step she does, and I got a little therapy session too. And that's just the process! My lashes are BEAUTIFUL! I'm not the wake up early to do hair & makeup kind of girl, but with my lashes I've been waking up feeling like I already did. There's only a handful of lashes that didn't seem to catch the lift on the inner corner of my right eye, but I'm going to sum it up to my stubborn lashes as everything else is GORGEOUS! The whole process took us a little over an hour, maybe 1.15? Don't worry, time flies, just make sure you give yourself a window of 1.5 hours in case :) today is day 2 with my lashes- I've tried really hard not to wet them yet, hopefully everything lasts! I'll try checking back in a few weeks! read more

Omg - I am obsessed with my lash lift! I'm going on week three and they still look so amazing. Sara is the best! She explains the entire process and what's going on at every moment. This will be something I get done every two months because it makes such a difference! I was super scared but honestly it's great! Highly suggest you get a lash lift and I highly suggest you have Sara do it!!!! Thank you so much! read more

Sara was generous enough to do a makeup session giveaway for Breast Cancer Awareness month, and being a survivor, I happened to win this session. I used my session for a wedding I was going to attend. I was beyond happy and impressed with the amazing makeup Sara did on me. She did my makeup just the way I wanted it. I noticed how much attention she paid to the details and that she was a perfectionist. Everyone loved my makeup! Definitely recommend her! Thank you Sara! read more

Sara is a sweetheart and very talented at her art. She listens and delivers. Loved chatting about life and getting glammed up. Her assistant Megan is awesome too. You will have a great time with these girls. Also, I have never been happier with my make up, she is so so good! read more

I just booked my 4th appointment with Sara and thought it was about time for a review. First and foremost she is a professional. Meaning she's punctual, polite, listens carefully to your needs and is focused throughout the appointment. Although her goal is to achieve your desired look, she's also had great suggestions. She's not overly assertive and off-putting but she is honest - which is always welcomed when you're trying to look your best. Overall, Sara is a dynamo! A skilled make-up artist who combines her creative skills with a grounded, patient & understanding approach. She always has a big smile when you see her and you always have a big smile when you leave her. read more

Sara Ibranossian - Makeup Artists Near Me

I don't generally wear heavy makeup, so for my bridal makeup, I was looking for someone who could give me a soft and natural look without feeling like I had a thick layer of makeup on my face all day. I was referred to Sara by my wedding coordinator and already loved what I saw on her Yelp and Instagram pages. I scheduled my bridal trial for my bridal shower, and Sara gave me the perfect look! She was attentive, open to any changes I wanted, and made sure I was happy with how my makeup turned out. I've never gotten so many compliments on my make-up before! For the wedding, she did the makeup for me and for my sisters as well. We all loved our looks! The makeup lasted from 8AM to past midnight, through a night of dancing! To top it off, Sara made the experience a fun and relaxing few hours before a long day of wedding festivities. Before this, I had maybe gotten my makeup done professionally once in my life. Now that I found someone I can trust, I guess I'll have to find reasons to get my makeup done more often! read more

I am pretty sure I've worn mascara every day of my life since 9th grade...until last week. I got a lash lift and tint and wow, let me tell you what a difference it makes. Full disclosure, I have pretty long lashes, they are just super straight so you can't see them until I curl them and apply mascara. After this lift, my lashes are perfectly curled and fluffy. Right out of bed, the shower, the pool, whatever. I don't have to do anything at all and they look amazing. They don't look fake (I'm not into that look for everyday), they are just my lashes living their best life. I've literally had no desire to wear mascara so far this week, although I'm sure it will look amazing when I do. Sara is super professional and friendly and will talk you through every step of the service and make sure you're totally comfortable. Plus she will patiently answer any questions you have along the way...even the stupid ones. The lash lift is worth every penny. Book an appointment and let Sara work her magic! read more

Absolutely loved Sara's work, the first time I went by her was right before my Cancun trip and she did such an amazing job It felt so good not having to wear makeup! My lash lift lasted me so long and it was honestly amazing not having to wear any makeup. When I would wear makeup it felt as if I had eyelash extensions, I absolutely loved it. It completely changed my makeup. If your looking to do a lash lift and tint I highly recommend her ! On top of doing amazing work she was the sweetest. Cant wait for my next appointment! read more

I had the incredible experience of taking a makeup lesson with Sara - and wow, I learned SO much! I had followed her instagram transformations and reached out to her in desperation after seeing a horrible professional portrait of myself. Taking a makeup lesson with her was absolutely the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. Sara has an encyclopedic knowledge of products, tools and techniques and a very fun and experimental attitude about trying new things. I learned how to properly use makeup tools, select products, layer and blend and I'm blown away by the difference since my lesson. She even sends you home with a workbook and helps you select brushes to execute your looks. Did I mention there was a swag bag with a beauty blender, brush cleaner, moisturizer and cleaning mat?! Now that I'm feeling more proficient in the basics, I'm eager to take more lessons to learn some advanced techniques. 100% recommend this experience! read more

Sara is the very best. I found her on Yelp 3 years ago and she has been doing my lash lift ever since. She does excellent work - I have slightly different eye shapes and she is incredibly careful about balancing her lash lifts so they best compliment my face, which I so appreciate. Also, she's kind and hilarious and the time goes by quick and easy. Go to Sara! You won't regret it! She's a master! read more

Maybe she's born it or maybe she just got a LASH LIFT!! Ok this was my first time ever getting a lash lift, call me a virgin! ‍ I don't like lash extensions, so the lash lift really sounded like something more up my alley. Long story short Sara was referred to me by a good friend and I'm so happy I came to her!! She's such a genuine person and very informative through out the entire process. She made feel at ease and made me a lash lift addict. My lashes are naturally long but straight. This lift just opened up my eyes and my face, so now I don't need mascara for my day to day. I feel like a new woman! Thank you Sara, I've already received so many compliments. read more

Very natural result, which is exactly what I wanted. Sara tried 2 different curl lengths before applying the solution so I could decide which I liked best and to make sure I was happy with the outcome (I'm super picky and showed her photos of what I didn't want!). This was my first time with a lift and I'm really happy and will be returning to Sara. I had zero irritation and don't wear mascara to work anymore because they look natural, but still with a tint and defined. Once you wash them after 48 hours you really see how soft and natural they look. Great experience! read more

So happy I found Sara! I had an event and needed my makeup done. I dread getting my makeup done because it never turns out like the photo I show. Sara listened to exactly everything I said and gave me the EXACT look I wanted: natural with some shimmer and highlight. She was very professional from booking to finish. We started on time and finished on time. I received a TON of compliments about how great my skin looked and how I was glowing. Thank you Sara!!! I can't wait until my next time! read more

Sara is amazing! Would recommend, 100% Just had mine and my bridesmaids' makeup done for my wedding on 10/19/19 and we were all in LOVE! Our makeup lasted beautifully all night. Sara is such a joy to be around, it was great to have her there with us on my wedding day bringing positive energy and reassurance. While looking at all of the photos our guests took, I was reminded of how I appreciated having Sara as my makeup artist! She really delivers what you are looking for and is so open to customizing and making the look feel most comfortable for you! Cannot thank her enough! She is seriously the best. Thank you so much Sara! You made us all feel so beautiful and special. read more

Counting down the days until my next lash lift appointment with Sara! Sara's work and products are the reason I left my previous salon for her craft. My lift lasted twice as long with Sara than ever before! Making appointments is super easy and reliable - Sara really works with a busy schedule. I actually look forward to my appointments because we always have so much fun! She is also super knowledgeable and ensures quality and safety come first. Best service and treatment hands down! read more

I am so happy to have found Sara! I have really straight and thick lashes and they do not hold a curl with an eye curler and mascara. I've had lash lifts done elsewhere before and the results were terrible and didn't last long. I was a bit skeptical about getting them done, but after seeing Sara's video about her own lashes (which are the same as mine) I thought I'd give it another try. I went in to visit her adorable home studio and the process could not have been easier. My jaw was on the floor when I saw the results! My lashes went from pointing straight down to a beautiful big curl! She only used the best products and is a miracle worker! See photos below, I will definitely be going back! I am so beyond happy with the results! read more

Sara recommended I do a lash lift and tint because I was tired of having lash extensions that I constantly had to maintain. The process was about an hour, but very relaxing. When she showed me the result.... I was speechless. I DIDNT KNOW MY LASHES COULD LOOK SO GOOD. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't worn falsies. Just mascara and BOOM she also does specials if you bring a friend with you. Thanks Sara! read more

If you are looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, look no more!! Sara is AMAZING!! She took me on as a late client and was able to fit me in with her busy schedule and my busy schedule for a trial. The day of the wedding, we had so many things go wrong due to a marathon happening in the streets around the hotel and the hotel failing to notify us so half the team couldn't make it on time. Sara was able to get started on my bridesmaids and she was very cool about it and made the morning go by smooth with no stress!! In regards to her ART, she is so talented!!! My makeup looked amazing and lasted all day and night!!! Literally nothing moved until I took it off later that night and I felt guilty for doing so, as it looked so darn perfect!! I couldn't recommend her more from talent to professionalism! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Sara on several occasions in my Los Angeles portrait studio and can't say enough great things about her. She makes her clients look and feel amazing all while making the process a super fun and uplifting one. If you are looking for a truly glamorous makeover, look no further, Sara's got you covered. I'm excited for the next time we get to work together on creating some portrait magic. read more

Sara is the BEST makeup artist I have ever gone to. Past experiences with other make up artists I've strongly disliked how I looked - makeup was way too thick on my skin, too shiny and I didn't even look like myself. With Sara my makeup looked so smooth on my face, not like I had way too much on, and was seriously glowing. I've never liked getting my makeup done so much. Will DEFINITELY be using her for every event in the future!! Highly recommend!! read more

I called Sara up at the last minute to do my makeup for a major red carpet event with many celebrities. She showed up on time and well equipped. She did exactly what I had asked her to do and took all my stress away from a hectic day. I lost a lot of weight from illness. She contoured my face perfectly and made me look beautiful walking on the red carpet and sitting next to all the stars. My eyes are very sensitive. She had to do my eyelashes and eye makeup twice so I would not have teary eyes at the event. Sara is very patient and professional. Highly recommend her!!!!!! read more

Sara did my makeup for a video recorded message for an online event and she did a beautiful job! Not only did she take the time to make sure my makeup was perfect, she stayed extra time to do touch ups during my recording. She is very talented and goes above and beyond. Highly recommended! read more

I got a lash lift with Sara a few weeks ago and it was honestly life changing! She did such an incredible job! I save so much time in the mornings and never have to worry about losing another eyelash in a curler (or pinching myself at that!). I look refreshed and I'm able to go without makeup much more often. I put on mascara for the first time since the lift yesterday and my lashes looked amazing! Almost like I had falsies on, that's how long, full, and curled they looked. (And my lashes used to sink after an hour or two with mascara. They looked lifted all day!) Thank you so much, Sara!! read more

When it comes to getting my makeup professionally done, I'm pretty much the pickiest client ever! I'm so happy I found Sara, she knows exactly what to do..! Her prices are great! And she travels to you!! I recommend her to everyone! Amazing work!! Thankful for you Sara!!!! read more

Sara has now done my make-up for several occasions, and each time has been nothing short of extraordinary. What differentiates her from other artists is her compassionate and mindful approach, and keen attention-to-detail. She's highly skilled in recreating any look that you show her, and doesn't follow the caked on, cookie cutter looks that you typically see out there in social media. She's gifted in creatively and intuitively using color to enhance your natural features. I highly recommend her for all of your make-up needs. Thank you, Sara! read more

Sara is seriously amazing! Not only was her work flawless but it honestly felt like a longtime friend was doing my makeup. Her attention to detail was impeccable each step of the way! read more

Sara is an extremely talented makeup artist. She did my makeup for my wedding this past month. In addition to me, she worked on my sisters and Maid-of-Honor. I loved how professional Sara was - timely, reasonable in her negotiations, and the no-drama. That aside, what I loved most was the IMPECCABLE work that Sara did. To be completely honestly, I was extremely picky when it came to picking a makeup artist for my wedding. I generally do my own makeup and finding the right makeup artist was very difficult for me because my face doesn't hold a lot of makeup well. I was also very worried because, in my experience, most makeup artists have simply looked at my honey-colored, round eyes and decided to give me smoky eyes, which is a quick trick that does not work on me (it makes me look extremely dark and sad). When I relayed this to Sara during our trial, she really listened to me. She did two different styles on my face during the trial (each half of the face was done in different, complementary colors). I loved both and had a hard time deciding. After I decided (with her good advice), she re-did my entire face with the makeup that we had decided on for the wedding and I was able to get a feel for the look for the rest of the day. On my wedding day, Sara and her assistant came to my house like true professionals at 8:00 a.m. sharp. She set everything up in a clean manner, and did my makeup with people talking, working around her, and everyone coming in and out of the room. She was quick, but didn't skimp on any details (I mention this because I am sooooo impatient wen someone is working on my face, I just cannot sit there and have them applying moisturizer/base/foundation for an hour). Sara did a gorgeous job on my wedding makeup and I was so happy. I got compliments throughout the wedding and the entire night of dancing. Did I mention that there was lots of dancing? Sara used such good-quality products that her makeup stayed on from 8 a.m. when she first started applying it through 1 a.m. when the wedding stopped. It stayed on in spite of my oily skin and non-stop dancing, WITHOUT ANY TOUCH-UPS! Sara did an amazing job and I was so happy I chose her for my wedding. She is definitely going to be my go-to makeup artist! read more

Sara did my makeup for a wedding I was attending and it was absolutely perfect!! I received so many compliments. I don't usually like getting my makeup done but Sara listened to what I wanted, made helpful suggestions and knew exactly how to enhance my features. She's professional, attentive and cares about her customers. I would definitely recommend her over and over again! read more

StellarAlchemist truly does a stellar job!!! I have used this artist several times and will continue to go back!!! She was very professional. I had a pleasant & positive experience.
