Evelyn did such an amazing job on my wedding day for me, my mom and MIL. She truly focused on making us look best and comfortable, as people who typically don't wear makeup. Desi/Indian skin tones can also be tough to color match and get right, but she really brought out our natural beauty. She was such a calm presence on such a busy day, exactly what I needed. I couldn't recommend Evelyn enough! read more

Serene Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - Upland, California

Worth every penny. Wedding hair and makeup is a small fortune, but trust me, Evelyn is worth it. A few months before the wedding, we had a great trial together and she came to my apartment and we focused on exactly what I wanted for my big day. She spent several hours with me fine tuning my hair and makeup. So when the wedding day came we got right to work and knew exactly what to do. Evelyn is an amazing artist, but also a lovely person. She brought her great attitude and good vibes to the getting ready room. My sister and I were definitely belting out broadway tunes and having a blast, and Evelyn was along for the ride! I was getting so many compliments all day, and my now husband was so overcome with emotion when he saw me for the first time he immediately started crying saying how beautiful I looked. The photos below are just taken on cell phones, I cannot wait to get my photos back from our photographer!!! Definitely hire Evelyn! She's a pro! :) read more

Absolutely the best experience with Evelyn at Serene Beauty--and with Stephanie as well! Evelyn did both my bridal hair and makeup, as well as my mom's, and we couldn't have been happier with the results. Our makeup was stunning and lasted flawlessly throughout the entire day. Evelyn truly respected that we wanted to feel like ourselves, while still achieving a look that held up beautifully for hours. The touch-up kit she provided was a lifesaver after the ceremony! Our hair stayed perfectly in place all day--even after a full night of dancing! I was so impressed that not a single pin came loose. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair, too. With so many different hair types in the group, both Evelyn and Stephanie did an amazing job accommodating everyone's unique style and needs. Truly the best experience. I would recommend Serene Beauty to any bride--it made such a difference having a team that was not only talented but also calm, kind, and professional on such an important day! read more

Serene Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - Upland, California

I hired Evelyn at Serene Beauty to do my hair and make-up for my wedding and it was wonderful. From the start, Evelyn was communicative and ready to help me figure out what to do with my hair and make-up. We had a trial run a few weeks before the wedding and I wasn't crazy about my first style and she very quickly came up with an alternative and redid it on the spot and I loved it. She was patient, kind and fun to chat with, which is very nice when you're spending so much time with someone working right in your face. Several of my bridesmaids and maid of honor got their hair and make-up done as well and her colleague Karissa who came to help out also did amazing work. On the day of the wedding Serene Beauty was on time and set up first thing in the morning and they also completed all of our services with plenty of time to spare before we were needed for photos. Hire Serene Beauty if you can. I've never looked so beautiful in my life. read more

Evelyn was great!! I first became familiar with Serene Bridals work through their Instagram page. I loved the natural tones and look of minimal make-up on the photos. It's as if she enhanced the brides natural beauty rather than transforming them. That natural look was the exact type of look i wanted for my wedding day. So, of course, i booked Serene Bridal. On my wedding day, Evelyn came early, completed three of my bridesmaids and myself on time, and did an amazing job with all of our make up and hair. My biggest concerns were my acne scars and I was worried the make up would look to cakey. It wasn't! My photos came out great! (even the ones not from our wedding photographer). My bridesmaids were also very pleased with the finished product. Evelyn was very easy to work with and fun to have around as the rest of us were getting ready. I strongly recommend Evelyn and would definitely hire Serene Bridal again! read more

Serene Beauty - Evelyn from Serene Bridal Beauty made me absolutely flawless on my Wedding Day, she is AMAZING! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Upland, California

Evelyn and her partner, Meghan, did an outstanding job on hair and make up for me and my bridal party! I have had past experiences getting my hair and makeup done for weddings and dances, and this was the best. Evelyn did a great job at keeping my look natural, yet polished. She picked colors that did just the right job at giving my skin some life, without overpowering my face. The products she used never once faded and wasn't packed on thick, which was my biggest fear considering that I have very oily, blotchy and not the smoothest skin. How she managed to get just the right amount of coverage without looking overly done is just a testament to her skills. My hair and makeup withstood the hot weather, my tears and a whole day of celebrating. My bridal party all loved their updo's by Meghan, who did such a great job at keeping the curls intact, incorporating cool braids and twists, and just making every girl's hair so original and beautiful. Plus, Evelyn and Meghan were so cool to work and chat with that they really helped make my wedding day prep so much more enjoyable! Communication was super easy and Evelyn is so sweet to work with - she made all my anxieties about how I was going to look go away and trusting this part of my wedding to her totally paid off. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for hair/makeup services for any special occasion. read more

I was nervous finding a someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. I did the normal things most brides do and go to a bridal show and check out different vendors. I was overwhelmed with coupons and free makeup application kiosk. I don't wear a lot of makeup and didn't want to look overdone for my wedding. I decided to reach out to my photographer (Truebliss Photography-CHECK THEM OUT) and ask for a recommendation. She recommended Serene Bridal Beauty. I am so glad I went with Evelyn. She came to the preview early and she was really through with me and really got what I was looking for. My sister and friend (who were with me during my preview),also agreed and really liked my look/consultation. Evelyn did an excellent job on my wedding and bridal makeup. Everyone loved their hair and/or makeup. I not only looked fantastic but I felt confident all night. If you are looking for someone, look no further than Serene Bridal. read more

My eyebrows look natural and just right it's one less step i have to think about in the morning. Thank you I absolutely looooove love love my brows! read more

Evelyn was such a sweetheart!!! :-) Although she was highly recommend. I was still hesitant & very nervous about the procedure. After 5min of talking to her she really calmed my nerves and was very considerate about my comfort. My concerns & worries have all vanished. I knew I was in the right hands. I really appreciate her showing me and explaining every detail of the procedure. She took her time and I didn't not feel rushed. I definitely can tell she is a perfectionist about her work. I would DEFINATELY, HIGHLY recommend her service. Thank you Evelyn for my new brows xoxo read more

I got my eyelashes done today I am really happy with the result. She listen to me and did them just how I wanted . She answered all my question and even gave me some great tips on how to care for them . Here and there she would ask me if I was okay . She really makes you feel comfortable. I was nervous going in because my eyes are super sensitive. So i was thinking that it was going to be burn, but not at all. My eyes felt really good after . They did cry a little once I opened my eye but that was just because the light . I really recommend Evelyn. I got a classic set. I will for sure be going back . Her profile says she is located in LA, I went to her anaheim location. 139 N Raymond Ave, Fullerton, CA 92831. read more

Serene Beauty - Classic set of eyelashes . I love how natural they look ! I highly recommend Evelyn - Makeup Artists Near Me - Upland, California

Everyone loved my wedding hair and makeup by Evelyn Lui! The trial session was easy, she never rushed and made sure you were comfortable with the styles. She is easy going and super nice. Evelyn is also accommodating; she was already booked with another wedding but still squeezed me in (even if it's really early in the morning)! That's true dedication. You can't go wrong with Evelyn, hire her for your wedding day!! read more

I don't normally wear makeup, and have had short hair for years, so I tried to convince myself I didn't need makeup and hair done for my wedding. Somehow, however, I had a moment of clarity a few months out and realized I needed some serious help. My wedding photographer Tracy (of Cameron Leung Photography) was kind enough to deal with my panic and recommended Serene Bridal Beauty. I got in touch with Evelyn and she was super flexible in scheduling my trial appointment, which was a great help since we only had one more trip to LA scheduled before our wedding--IIRC she met me at 7am at our hotel. She listened to my concerns, saw my photos of my dress and flower inspiration, and got to work. And she made me look awesome--like me, but better. Considering we'd arrived from NYC at something like 1am the previous night and I looked like the living dead when I woke up, I knew right then she had mad skillz. When it came to our wedding day, Evelyn showed up at 6:30am so that we'd have time to do bridal portraits before our 11am ceremony. Again, I hadn't slept the night before, but she still made me look fabulous. Looking back at our photos, you'd never guess how exhausted I was--all you see is the bridal glow. Thank you Evelyn! read more

I don't know how to recommend Evelyn and Serene Bridal Beauty enough! She and her assistant, Meghan, did a fantastic job with my girls' hair and makeup on my wedding day. Everyone looked absolutely perfect and gorgeous without looking overdone. They accentuated their natural beauty and looked flawless! My own hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted and I had absolutely no idea what that was until I sat in the chair. It was a beautiful half up and half down style, with handmade (by Evelyn) clip in hair extensions to add volume. The curls lasted all night and even into the next day. Evelyn even left a little kit for touch ups, which was very useful after taking so many pictures. Both Evelyn and Meghan arrived at the venue on time and were already working on the first few services by the time I got there. Most of the day, we were running ahead of schedule, which kept everyone relaxed, and the day as stress free as it possibly could be. Evelyn also did my hair and makeup for my engagement party, which doubled as my bridal trial. She was at my mom's house on time and worked efficiently and thoroughly to go over all of my options. I was ready to go with time to spare and again, she gave me a small container of lip stain for touch ups. If you're looking for someone to do your hair and makeup for your wedding (or any event really), don't look any further. Evelyn and her team will not disappoint! read more

Serene Bridal Beauty is a professional and talented team. During my preview, Evelyn (owner) was thorough and went over in detail on how to achieve the best look for me. She was understanding, patient and honest. Evelyn even explained hairstyle lingo - e.g. "structured" vs. "textured," etc. We went over pictures of hair/makeup styles that I liked. While reviewing the pictures, she pointed out and explained the differences and similarities so I was able to narrow down my look better. I also wanted to make my hair thicker for my up do, and she recommended a place for me to get the hair extensions. She is obviously very passionate at what she does and it is important to her to make sure that the Bride is very satisfied. My color scheme had purple in it, and I wanted to incorporate that color with some kind of hair accessory for my bridesmaids. I saw some peacock feathers and asked Evelyn what/how would be the best way to to use them as a hair accessory. She is knowledgeable and crafty, and recommended what kind of craft glue to get, what kind of hair pin to use, etc. With her help and advice, made 4 different kinds of peacock hair accessories for the girls to use and they looked great in their hair. On the day of my wedding, Evelyn and her assistant arrived early and finished on time. I was impressed with their time management. I really loved my hair and makeup - natural-looking, flawless and exactly what I wanted. I recommend getting the airbrush application - it feels so weightless! When Evelyn added the hair extensions, I loved how voluminous it looked. I've never had extensions before, and she did an amazing job with my low, side bun. I got many compliments throughout the night on how pretty I looked and how beautiful my hair was. Both hair and makeup stayed-put pretty well all day! All my bridesmaids looked beautiful and were happy with their hair and makeup as well. On the day of my wedding, my bridesmaids were trying to finalize their hairstyles, and Evelyn and her assistant were very helpful. They helped them pick a hairstyle that worked for each girl's taste/style. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and my husband prefers me without any makeup. I wanted to still look "like me," but of course made-up enough to feel like the beautiful bride I did. You want to look back at that day in your pictures and think/feel how happy you were and not regret about your hair/makeup. I LOVED MY HAIR AND MAKEUP! I was one, very happy Bride =) read more

Oh Evelyn! I can't thank her enough for the amazing job she did on my wedding day! She is very professional from the makeup trial to my actual wedding day. My hair length was just barely above my shoulders and I wanted a very wavy long hair look. She put in hair extensions and I couldn't have been happier! My make up came out gorgeous! I had nothing but compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the day. For any occasion Serene Bridal Beauty is a must! Evelyn just recently microbladed my eyebrows and the entire experience was very easy! She drew out my eyebrows and then tailored them to my liking. I can't wait for my second session to see what the final product will be because I'm already loving my brows! Thank you! read more

Evelyn is THE BEST!!! Not only have I worked with her on a professional level (I'm a wedding photographer), but I have also had the pleasure of getting my hair and makeup done by her as well. She is so wonderfully talented at what she does, and ALWAYS makes my brides look absolutely gorgeous! When she did MY hair and makeup I seriously wanted to take her home with me to make me that pretty everyday! She's one of the sweetest people I know and you will LOVE working with her. read more

Evelyn is amazing! This post is long overdue but better late than never. I didn't know what hair style I wanted for my wedding so she tried different ones on me and it looked so good. She did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot and wedding. My makeup was flawless. I couldn't have been happier with her work. read more

Evelyn. She made me the most beautiful I have ever been & felt, as a bride. From the get go, upon comparison to other hair & make-up, SBB is a real bang for your buck! And another bonus is that they come to you for the preview. Evelyn did such a great job at my preview that one of my bridesmaids booked her for her wedding next year. It was easy to communicate with Evelyn via email or by phone. She's sweet, professional & just so talented at what she does. My make-up on my wedding day needed NO touch up, even though Evelyn gives you a touch up kit. It was flawless. Should I have another big event, I would not hesitate to book SBB. read more

This was one of the few parts of wedding planning that was NOT a headache. Let me preface by saying that Evelyn and I were childhood friends, but I hadn't seen her in about 20 years. I had, however, followed and been wowed by her work on social media and always told myself that if I were to get married, I'd hire her to do it. What a good decision that turned out to be. Since we had an early ceremony and had 8 ladies to prep, Evelyn and her assistant Sarah came to the boonies of West Marin the night before so that they could start at the crack of dawn on wedding day. They worked like a well-oiled machine despite the chaos and the bourbon shots being passed around the room. I was pretty vague about what I wanted both during our preview and on wedding day. But they were total pros and made everything come together...The makeup and hair fit the soft wedding tones and farm wedding ambience to a T. They also prepped our picky moms, which was no easy task. Then, once each girl was finished, they quietly packed up and left, without disturbing the moment. I find that many makeup artists have a difficult time with Asian complexions, and I'm usually left with the wrong base color and an eyeshadow application that looks as if I've been punched in the face. Evelyn, on the other hand, knew exactly what she was doing and even managed to work some magic on my monolids. She did a terrific job on the Caucasian complexions as well... Such a good job that one of the bridesmaids and another wedding guest have both asked her to do their weddings. read more

My best friend got married and hired Serene Bridal Beauty to do her makeup and hair along with all of us bridesmaids. Personally I loved my hair and makeup and the bride look BEAUTIFUL!! My bf loved what Evelyn did and it was exactly what she described for what she wanted. My bf had a preview session with Evelyn and they spent 3 hours discussing and trying different things until they were both happy. She even found some hair pieces she wanted to use for her bridesmaids and was able to get Evelyn's opinion on how to incorporate them into our hairstyles via email in the days leading up to her wedding. On the big day, Evelyn and her team did an amazing job. They worked very efficiently. The bride even had the chance to rest her eyes and relax before heading out to make her grand entrance! These girls are very professional, they will answer any questions you have while they are doing your hair or makeup as well. All the bridesmaids wanted different hairstyles which we found in various magazines and the Serene Bridal Beauty team catered to us all! Best part was that my hair lasted the entire day and night! Got plenty of compliments on the hair and makeup too! Can't wait until my big day because I plan to use Evelyn and Serene Bridal Beauty when it comes around sometime in the future! Thanks for your beautiful work and for making my bf feels so gorgeous on her wedding day! read more

Being a wedding photographer, I've had the pleasure of working with Serene Bridal Beauty on several occasions. Not only is she crazy talented, but she is a complete sweetheart and really loves what she does. Now that my own wedding is right around the corner, I am thrilled to have Serene Bridal Beauty do my hair and makeup! I know she will do an amazing job, and I have complete faith in her! read more

I've worked with Evelyn on a number of occasions. Being in the wedding industry, she is my #1 go to person when it comes to recommending an artist for hair and make up for all my brides. She pays close attention to detail and makes sure that her brides are her number one priority. Because of her close attention to detail, I decided to hire Serene Bridal for my hair and make up for my own wedding last year. Although, I didn't use Evelyn myself, Evelyn ensures that all her artists are top-notch. Thank you once again Evelyn and I look forward working with you in the future!! xoxo read more

Absolutely hire Serene Bridal Beauty! Your wedding day will be stressful, you want professionals there to make you beautiful as well as keep you on schedule. Evelyn and her team were prompt, efficient, and definitely elevated the joyous occasion. I was new to the area when I started planning my Pasadena wedding. I assumed I would get my hair, makeup, etc for myself family and attendants at a nearby salon. I actually tried a few out and none of them met my vision. Nothing was special enough. I shared this with my wedding planner who immediately recommended Serene Bridal Beauty. I gave Evelyn a call and we set up a time to meet for a "rehearsal". I was able to schedule it for the same day as my engagement photos. Evelyn was exactly one time and brought everything she needed - including plenty of extension cords! We discussed the look i wanted (I had no idea) and she went to work stopping along the way to discuss what I thought of this shade or that, did I want to accentuate my eyes, etc. and also reminding me that I would be looking at these wedding photos for the rest of my life so speak up now! Everything went very well and my hair and makeup looked spectacular in the photos. I stayed in full hair and makeup all day! The day of my wedding she came with a full crew to handle the mothers, aunts, sisters, and cousins. My flower girl was 5 years old and they pampered her and made her feel so special. At first all the attention was intimidating, but Evelyn made her feel so comfortable that she was quickly enjoying herself and LOVED the way her curls looked and had fun with the little lip gloss. (She ended up being the star of the show!) I can't thank Evelyn and her team enough for their professionalism as well as beauty talent. Once the hair was done and the makeup was on it was time for the veil. I was officially a bride. read more

My wedding took place in Westminster, California, during July 2011, but I first met Sarah Jones, one of the lead stylists for my preview in February 2011. She met me at my hotel room (because I live two hours away) and was extremely personable. I showed her a photo of what I wanted as well as a photo of my dress and she dolled me up exactly the way I wanted to. She is extremely organized and communicates well via phone or email...which was a must for me since I wasn't in the area much. Before she left the preview, I gave her my deposit and provided her with photos of my bridesmaids' dresses as well. On the morning of my wedding, she arrived early to set up. She was very systematic in the order she was going to do everyone's hair and make-up. My bridesmaids brought photos of what they wanted, and she recreated their looks on the fly...but perfected the look to make them look better than what they had showed her. My hair and makeup was perfect and lasted from noon to 11 PM without touching up. I had expressed with Sarah prior to my wedding day that any eye makeup would create raccoon eyes within minutes of application. She had two solutions for that and lo and behold...no racoon eyes the entire day! I would absolutely love to work with Sarah Jones again for any event! Thank you, again! read more

LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE my brows by Serene Beauty! I used to spend so much time shaping and filling in my brows every morning. I considered microblading, but wasn't sure where to get it done until I saw Evelyn's portfolio. I really like how she makes eyebrows look fuller and gives them better shape, but still keeps them looking natural. She did a very thorough consultation with me and didn't start the process until I was completely happy with my brow mapping. If you want to save 10-20 minutes on your makeup routine every day, I highly recommend getting your eyebrows done by Evelyn. read more

My 18 year old daughter got her eyebrows microbladed with Evelyn, as a Mother of a young girl, I was very very hesitant to do this procedure, however I have been following Eveylns work and she makes it look so natural. We finally had the procedure done and Eveyln is a artist and expertise in beauty. She made Zaneta and ME feel comfortable and reassured us it would look natural, which it does. My daughter was very self conscious about her brows, she loves her brows. Thank you Evelyn! read more

Today is my sisters prom and we scheduled an appointment with Evelyn for hair and makeup. She did an amazing job. My sister didn't really have ideas for her hair style and makeup so Evelyn voiced her professional opinion on what she believed would look best for her and the results were awesome. Defenitely our go to person on such ocassions where we need to be dolled up and highly recommend her. read more

Evelyn is amazing! I just had my touch-up for my eyebrow Microblading, and my eyebrows are absolute perfection! She's extremely patient and professional and I highly recommend her! read more

I was skeptical about having my wife get her makeup done for our wedding since I prefer my wife to look natural/like herself. Not only was I happy with the end result, my wife loved it and look amazing. I couldn't wait to say I do!!! I would highly recommend Evelyn as she is seriously great at what she does. read more

Every bride knows that it is very important when it comes to choosing the perfect makeup artist. I had no doubt in selecting Serene Bridal Beauty for my wedding day after seeing some of the other photos of brides she had previously done before. Evelyn did a great job not only on my wedding day but also on my engagement photos as well. I was really happy with the end result on both occasions. I would definitely recommend Evelyn if you are looking for a makeup artist. She won't disappoint. read more
