I couldn't have had a better experience working with Camille and Liz of Skyla Arts. After viewing their beautiful work on social media, I reached out and received a quick response from Liz. Knowing very little about hair and makeup, Liz asked the right questions to pinpoint my style and vision and I immediately felt that I was in good hands. Camille was my hair and makeup artist and she could not have made me feel more at ease. I was looking for an elevated natural makeup look with a classic/romantic updo and was lucky enough to work with Camille on two occasions for my city hall ceremony and wedding reception. I absolutely loved how my hair and makeup turned out and could not believe how beautifully the looks came together. For someone that doesn't wear makeup normally, I felt super comfortable and truly like the best version of myself. Skyla Arts also provides men's grooming which was much appreciated. My husband has very thick unruly hair that he has never been able to tame, so it was a blessing that we did not have to worry about what to do with it on one of the most important days of our lives. Camille did such a spectacular job on him that it even surprised his family! My mom also needed makeup service last minute which Camille was very kindly able to accommodate. My mom loved her makeup experience just as much as I did. So many of our family and friends all commented on how amazing my husband and I looked and multiple family members who interacted with Camille noted how wonderfully lovely and kind she was. Thanks so much Camille and Liz! read more

I cannot recommend Liz Chang & her team enough! In fact, Liz was my most favorite wedding vendor! Throughout the planning process, Liz really took the time to understand my vision for hair and makeup. She deeply listens and is incredibly talented in bringing one's vision to life. It was important to me to look elegant and glamorous, but also like myself for my special day. Liz has the ability to really make one's own natural beauty pop. Liz coordinated all of the legwork with my bridal party, my mom, and mother in law for their own makeup and hair looks. My friends and family were so impressed by Liz's professionalism throughout all of these communications. Liz & her team made my bridal party look and feel spectacular! My bridesmaids continue to complement her team's great work on their hair and makeup. As far as my own bridal hair and makeup, Liz personally brought calm to the chaos. Let's be real, getting ready on your wedding day can feel a little hectic. Liz's ability to bring a peaceful, calm, and wonderful energy to her work truly helped me with my own exciting nerves for the day. Liz even helped keep my bridal party focused on track with time! She executed my look flawlessly and I'm so grateful I found her to do my bridal hair & makeup. I felt like a million bucks! I hired Liz for a few extra hours on my wedding day and it was such a smart decision. After the ceremony, Liz touched up makeup and executed another glam evening look for my reception! I am so happy I decided to extend my time with Liz for my wedding day. I really hope to work with Liz again. I would recommend her to all of my friends and loved ones. She is AMAZING!!! read more

Skyla Arts did a fantastic job doing hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. Liz did my hair and makeup and without question I am so so glad I found her. Liz is awesome: professional, responsive, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. During the trial, she explained what she was doing the whole time so it was very much a collaborative experience. I'm very appreciative of how approachable Liz is on questions and feedback - I had no doubts that Liz put delivering a look that I was happy with at the highest priority. My hair and makeup lasted all night and it was so comfortable. The best part was knowing that Liz brought out the best version of myself. You cannot go wrong with Skyla Arts! I would recommend Liz and her team to anyone! read more

Liz did hair & makeup for three consecutive events we hosted in the winter. She was warm, professional, very knowledgable and did incredible hair & makeup! She can style your hair and make it look amazing in 20 minutes! She had a lot of clients to style the morning of our event and she did it in a timely manner, making everyone feel pampered. We cannot wait to work with Skyla Arts on our next beauty event! read more

Elizabeth did my make up for my engagement pictures many years ago. She was so knowledgeable and made me so beautiful! I highly recommend her!!! read more

My wedding makeup was done by Angela at Skyla Arts. What a great experience! I was going to DIY my hair and makeup, but it was so worth it to not have to worry about it. I got so many compliments. It was relaxing, easy, and fun. Consultation was easy, she listened very closely to what I was looking for. She took feedback really well, and we tweaked and adjusted the look to exactly what I was looking for. Such amazing people, super talented! My hair and makeup lasted all day and evening, despite high humidity, blustery wind, crying during my vows, crying during the toasts, and RAIN after our reception. Seriously, I was amazed. Highly recommended! read more

See all

This story is better told timeline style: We start off with 5 stars: Liz seemed really nice in her emails and her portfolio on line was close to what I was looking for. I decided to hire her to do a dramatic look for my engagement before having my wedding trial done. The day of my shoot, we dropped to 1 star. How? Liz's way of creating conversation started off as uncomfortable and crossed over to unprofessional. For the uncomfortable part, it started with some preachy things about beauty products. That's ok--I can take a little of that since I could take better care of my skin, use more sunscreen, etc. I just don't believe in a complicated daily regiment for the sake of using products--we can agree to disagree on that. Moving on, it got a little testy when she told me threading is unsanitary and that it was a practice that originated in Japan--I'm pretty sure South Asia is nowhere near Japan. Sure it's popular now, so it's common in my many countries--but there is a reason why most South Asian salons offer this service, but few East Asian ones do. Before, after, in between, we played a 3-hour game of 21 gazillion questions, which increasingly got more personal. The "what do you like about your fiance" was weird, but then she asked me how much my photographer cost. No. That's where I draw the line--so I stopped and said I was not comfortable disclosing that information. Thankfully that was close to the end of our session, but I was shocked. I didn't realize how angry I was until I started telling my fiance what happened. We didn't have too much time to discuss it because we had to rush to our shoot. When I got home, I found an email from Liz apologizing for asking about the photographer's fee--I'll give back one star for that. Bottom line, for work alone, I'd give her a 3, but I've been told constantly that the most important thing during your wedding day is that you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I was frazzled after our session and would not risk booking her the day of my wedding. read more

I promised Liz a while ago that I would write her a glowing review--years ago, she did my make-up for a very important meeting, and I still blush with the recollection of how well it went! More recently, I was in a bridesmaid, and Liz was again called on to make beautiful faces. Though she specializes in clean, natural looks, Liz can accomplish smoldering expressions and bright spectacles if you only ask. The whole wedding party was MORE than pleased with their results, and Liz just smiled sweetly and thanked us for our business. Patient, talented, highly professional without being stiff, and above all, flexible, Liz and her Skyla Arts blessed my bride's Winter Wonderland Wedding with beautiful and elegant accents. read more

I was referred to Liz by one of her colleagues who was going to be out of the country for the date that I had wanted to get my hair and makeup done. Liz and I emailed back and forth about what style of hair I was looking for, and also sent me a skin and hair questionnaire so she could prepare to get to know my skin and hair type, which I thought was fantastic. Her online portfolio was great so that was another plus, so I decided to book her for a wedding I was attending on February 16, 2013. Her home studio is easy to find and conveniently located close to my home, so that was another plus. She was professional yet personable and I could tell she knew what she was doing. She had tons and tons of makeup and accessories in her home studio sorted into compartments, so being neat and organized was another plus! I asked for a neutral yet sparkly shadow, and with fake individual lashes and cream black eyeliner, the end result was exactly what I had hoped for. As for hair, I had sent her some links of pictures of hairstyles that I would like and she had it set up on her iPad when I arrived. I picked a half up and half down with curls picture, she said no problem, and voilà! (I will post the picture of the 'do when I get home) I got so many compliments that evening! Thanks again, Liz! read more

Elizabeth is amazing makeup artist and person. She is very professional. Liz did a boudoir session (makeup, hair & photography) for me. I felt myself like a celebrity. My hair style was very stylish and i received a lot of compliments after session about my gorgeous makeup ( I went to party in SF and makeup and hairstyle lasted all night) I have a great pics in my photo album and very lucky that a met such a great and talented makeup artist. P.S . I would like to add very important thing Liz is punctual. Time is money :-) read more

Recently I just had a wedding and was privileged to have Liz and her team be in charge of my moms' as well as my hair and makeup. Liz did an AMAZING job. When people saw me on that day, they all aspired for taking photos with me. I looked amazing in the photos---I don't normally do, but with the makeup on, I looked superb --- and the moms looked amazing in them. My mom got so many compliments from her coworkers; it was very exciting for her. My makeup stayed on with no trouble all day long, and was told that I need no retouch since Liz uses high-quality makeup. My mom and I loved her work and would like to stay in touch with her for future events, and possibly makeup lessons! Liz was amiable and helpful the whole way through. I didn't know much about makeup products or the techniques of applying makeup. She taught me tricks and basics as she was doing my makeup during my bridal consultation, and she answered all the questions I asked. She was attentive to details and needs, accomodated to clients' preference but also provided professional opinion. She was both very knowledgeable and well-equipped, and she can handle all skin type and skin color. I had a wonderful experience and I think having known her was a wonderful gift. I would definitely recommend her! read more

Liz is an absolute treasure! She's super detail oriented, patient and kind. We had two different hair and makeup looks to do for two ceremonies (Indian in the morning, American in the evening), and she created two beautiful, distinct, classic looks for each. She also stayed calm and collected the whole day. She's an absolute master at recreating hairstyles and makeup looks from pictures, and she really listens to you and incorporates your thoughts into her work. She was so dedicated to giving me the eye makeup look I wanted she specifically went out and hunted down the perfect individual falsies for me. The makeup artist she brought with her to do hair and makeup for my sister and mom was fantastic as well. read more

I went to College with Liz and had no idea she was into makeup until planning my wedding and i found out. I flew her from the west coast to the east coast trusting that my friends that recommended her knew what they were talking about. I was completely blown away by the consultation just before my rehearsal dinner and then of course my wedding itself! She also did all 9 of my bridesmaids and MOB, quickly with enough care that they were all amazingly perfect. Liz is the sweetest person i have ever met and everything she does she puts 1000% percent into; every brush stroke is done with love and care that is unparalleled by any other make up artist i have encountered. Anyone who wants a professional and amazing woman to do their hair and/or make up for any occasion anywhere in the world should hire Skyla Arts. I vouch for her 10 times out of 10!!!!!! read more

I hired Liz for my wedding in September and she was absolutely WONDERFUL! I honestly have never had my make-up look so good :-) Not only is Liz incredibly talented and professional, but she has such a kind and warm demeanor that completely put me at ease on my big day. In our consultation she really took her time learning about my skin and talking me through everything she was doing and different options. I had some feedback for her after the consultation, after seeing the complete look that I wanted to go a bit more natural, she remembered and put to practice every detail that we discussed and my wedding day make-up was flawless! I definitely plan on referring all brides-to-be that I know to Liz! read more

Liz did a great job for me on my wedding day. I love the hair style, which was a french twist, and beautiful makeups. She replied me promptly and easy to communicate with. she tried her best to meet my needs. I highly recommend Liz if you want to look beautiful on your big day! Lex read more

Liz did a great job with both my hair and makeup for my city hall wedding. The whole experience was very easy and comfortable. It helps that she's very nice. On the service side, she was always ready on time, polite, and friendly, even after the job was complete. As for her technical skill, I typically don't wear a lot of makeup so I wouldn't be able to comment on technique, but I have a fairly critical eye and can be picky about how things look at the end. She did a great job! I took a self-portrait with my computer after the trial makeup session and sent it to friends. They oohed and ahhed and a couple of people were blown away. I requested a natural look and got one, but the effect of having makeup was still present- just what I wanted. So, if a random self-portrait with the computer's camera after a trial got such rave reviews, imagine what the final was like! read more

Liz did my makeup for our wedding and she made me look my best on our special day. The products that she used were ALL great quality and the makeup stayed on for more than 10 hours. I didn't even need to do a retouch! It probably would've stayed longer if I didn't decide to remove it before going to bed! I never got that "cake" look on my face. I loved what she did with my eyes... I wish I could have that stay on forever! Being Asian, it's hard to find somebody who knows how to work on Asian features.. Especially the eyes. When I saw Liz's website, I felt that she was the one... So I e-mailed her and asked if she could do a last minute trial makeup. The following day, I came to her place and it didn't take me long to feel comfortable with her. She's very friendly and easy-going. While we were finishing up and I was admiring what she did with my eyes, a crazy incident happened... The building right next to her apartment caught on fire and there was black smoke everywhere! We panicked but I realized one of us had to stay calm so I did. Plus, I had a pre-wedding photo shoot in about an hour and I didn't want to ruin my makeup! Hehe! We ran outside and stayed at the manager's unit, trying to calm each other down. The firefighters came and contained the fire. When it was safe to come down, she took me back to her place and did a retouch on me. Despite that very scary event, she managed to collect herself and finish off with a makeup that made me look like that incident didn't stress me out. She was very professional and she kept apologizing to me... I told her it was definitely not her fault and that she was doing a wonderful job... I remember telling her "Well, at least this is very memorable for both of us" and we just laughed it off. I felt bad leaving her right away but I had a photo shoot to catch. The pre-wedding pictures turned out really great, you couldn't tell that I was scared for my life few hours prior to the photo shoot! During the wedding day, I had a few minor problems that morning and was running late for my hair and makeup session. Liz was very nice and patient... She waited for me at the hotel and I felt so bad for making her wait. When we got to the hotel, she immediately went straight to doing her stuff and as expected, she did an amazing job on my makeup. She did my stepmom and my mother-in-law but because we were running late on schedule, they rushed her into getting the makeup done. I had to leave and I didn't know about this until my friends told me few days later. I felt so bad. They didn't really have to do that because I wasn't going to start with the wedding without the mothers. Anyway, she made the moms look young and pretty! I loved their makeup too, even though she had to do it in a rush. Sorry Liz. Overall, I would say she has all the great qualities to be a successful makeup artist. She deserves the 5.0 star rating that I gave her. Trust me. She does. I wish she didn't have to move up North, I wouldn't have mind if I had to pay a few extra bucks to get my makeup done with her for any other special occasions. read more

I found Elizabeth on yelp because I was looking for a make-up artist to make over my husband and me prior to getting professional headshots made for LinkedIn and our website. A skilled professional, Elizabeth is worth every penny. Friendly with a calming presence, she helped us look our best for the photo-shoot. I can also highly recommend Hagop of www.hagopsphotography.com in Palo Alto, the photographer we used for our headshots. Both Elizabeth and Hagop did such great jobs that by the end of the day I had already received two compliments from LinkedIn connections on my glamorous and elegant photo! read more

The team at Skyla Arts was so wonderful to work with for my wedding! I contacted Liz fairly last-minute when we had a scheduling issue with our original stylist, and Liz was able to book us in with Tiffany and Caysi even with less than 2 months until our wedding date. Liz is so positive, bubbly, and well-organized! She had a survey for me to fill out and asked me for photo inspiration, all of which was communicated to my stylist Tiffany. We did a trial before the wedding which was such a great experience, I really felt like Tiffany listened to everything that I wanted, and somehow made it look like I have way fuller hair than I actually do which was so great!! On the day of, Tiffany and Caysi were so sweet, talented, and efficient working with the bridal party and moms. We actually ended up ahead of schedule and were able to add makeup services for the 2 moms when they decided last-minute that they wanted that, which was so nice! The whole experience was just completely relaxing, which was so nice on a day when I thought I might feel a bit stressed. All of our hair and makeup turned out incredibly, and I just felt like a princess the whole day. Thank you so much to Liz, Tiffany, and Caysi for such a wonderful experience! read more

Liz is so thoughtful! She emailed me the other day to offer my sister a referral for a makeup/hair stylist that would fit in her budget! How awesome is she! My sister has already found someone for makeup and hair, but thanks so much for thinking of us, Liz! :) read more

Although I didn't get a chance to work with her, I have to say that she offers great customer service. I booked an appt with her and was able to easily pay over the phone. Unfortunately, I canceled at her last minute and was not able to go through with the appointment. She graciously refunded my deposit without hesitation. I was so grateful! I would definitely recommend her for costumer service. If the make up is half has good as her customer service, you will look like a superstar. read more

First of all, Liz, is very reliable. This is one important quality of a mua. She 's very passionate about make up and hairs. She is eager to learn new things and is not afraid of a constructive criticism. She is also very sweet as a person. I am a photographer who constantly work with her over the weekends to do a test shoot with agency models in San Fransisco such as Look, Ford, JE, etc. I like her make up style. Her style is natural which is what the agency is looking for. She's very clean and also pays attention to details. Liz is the best! read more

Liz did an amazing job on my makeup and Lisa did an awesome job on my hair! They were very punctual on the day of the wedding and worked tirelessly through 4 bridesmaids and 1 bride despite the tight timelines and ridiculous summer heat! After my hair and makeup trial, I had some changes I wanted to make and Liz and Lisa took in all my feedback and accommodated on the day of the wedding. During the wedding everyone said my hair and makeup people did an amazing job and I agreed 100%. I loved my look and my bridesmaids all looked beautiful. Besides doing a great job on hair and makeup, Liz helped keep me calm when I started to stress when the photographer was running a little late and I heard about the terrible traffic. You could tell that Liz had a lot of experience with weddings and brides. I would definitely recommend her. read more

Liz is am amazing makeup artist. I love that she not only does weddings she does work for magazines and photo shoots. Her website is what made me try her out and I'm glad I did. I was blown away by how organized she is, she always asks all the right questions to make sure the look is suitable for your style/event. She always arrives early to set up her never-ending supply of brushes, blushes and eyeshadows. She even mixes colors to create the perfect shade of lipstick. I have hired her for a few different events now and my friends and I always look amazing. I wish I could do my own makeup, but I can't so I hire Liz. :-D read more

Elizabeth did my hair and make-up for my 30th birthday party about a week ago. She did an amazing job. She's super sweet and chatty! She took her time and made sure I was comfortable with all of her work. In the end I looked amazing and got many compliments that night. And the best part: my make-up and hair lasted through the night and as I went to bed that night at 2:30am it still looked great! Highly recommended! read more

I found Liz through a friend who had seen her for skin care services at her home studio. I was a tiny bit skeptical about entering someone's home, but went on the recommendation alone. Her home studio is extremely professional and I felt like I was in a tranquil spa somewhere. And my facial was fantastic! Most of the time my skin looks all crazy after its been abused with extractions, but Liz took the time to be thorough and make sure I was comfortable the whole time. The best part was that the next day my skin looked even better, which I'm pretty sure has never happened. I will definitely be booking another appointment soon! read more

My sister got married last week and Liz did her make-up and mine for the wedding. The trial was great. My sister looked fabulous. She was very concerned about the make-up looking cakey or heavy, and it was not either of those things. Liz also gave her a lot of tips on what she should do to take care of her skin leading up to the big day. Her tips really worked, and my sister's skin has never looked better. Leading up to the wedding, we also emailed back and forth a few times regarding the look for the wedding, and she was thorough and prompt with her responses. The day of the wedding, Liz arrived right on time and began to set up. I went first and couldn't believe how quickly she worked! I asked for heavy double-eyeliner look, and it was amazing. I have never looked more glam! It was exactly what I asked for, but adapted to my face. My sister's make-up looked even better than the trial. I think that her adherence to the skincare routine helped. Liz was professional and fun chatting with all the girls as we got ready. She gave me a tutorial on how to touch up before we left, along with a little kit. Amazingly, the only touch up we needed was a little powder after 5 hours. Even the lips stayed on (some sort of miracle? What is her secret?) I could not recommend Liz more. read more

My partner and I were married this weekend, hair and make up was done by Angela of Skyla Arts for myself and my younger sister (maid of honor). Elizabeth and Angela were so kindly recommended to me by Judy of JuLee Collections (the dressmaker of my gown) after a mishap with a previous MUA that I had considered hiring for our upcoming wedding. Skyla Arts was quite the opposite of what I had experienced. The entirety of Skyla Arts is professional, kind and thorough. Angela was a joy to work with. She had everything down pat: she arrived precisely on time, set up and got down to business - telling of a seasoned, experienced professional. Everything put me and my sister at ease, as if we were working with an old friend. She is very sweet and warm, and knows her stuff! My sister and I adore make up and hair, complete amateurs and we were fawning over Angela's spread of powders and appliances we had never seen before. My entire family was awed by Angela's efficiency, positive nature and soft touch. We appreciate her so much for making my sister comfortable, my sister is shy. Getting hair and make up done not your average affair, it was almost part spa treatment. I appreciated how thorough Skyla Arts was at listening and learning about who I was as a person, as a bride and even about my skin. They are very sensitive to ensuring that the make up and hair you receive will make you feel radiant and confident, but also that it does not do any damage to your skin. She even assisted my mom with her eyebrows and taught her how to use her brow stick! An unexpected added bonus and deeply deeply appreciated. I am very grateful to Angela and to Elizabeth, the whole experience was fun and I felt beautiful. read more

Elizabeth Chang was hired to do My daughter's make up at her wedding this past week end. 12-15-12 Also 9 bridesmaids and MOB (me) . I was impressed with her talent. 11 women with totally different looks and needs and she met and exceeded my expectation with every one. Liz was calm, up beat, professional and FUN! I absolutely loved her and recommend her for any and every occasion. Thank you Skyla Arts =) read more

I hired Liz to do hair and makeup for myself, my mother, and my bridesmaids for my recent July wedding at Nestldown. From the beginning, Liz was responsive and organized as we worked to schedule an initial trial. One of the reasons I gravitated towards Liz was that I wanted to look beautiful but relatively natural on the day of the wedding (I am not a makeup wearer in my daily life). Her work is just that--absolutely beautiful and glamorous, but also natural. At the trial, Liz nailed it! I felt so beautiful that I was sorely disappointed I didn't have plans to go out on the town after the trial. Due to lack of clarity myself about my hair, I did schedule a second hair trial. Liz was supportive, flexible, and gracious about helping me reschedule and emailing with me to help me better articulate what it was I was hoping for in my wedding hair. What she produced at trial two was spot on. On the day of the wedding, Liz was a wonderful calming presence, and of course, made me look and feel absolutely beautiful, like a beautiful natural version of myself. In all my interactions with Liz, I loved her warmth and friendliness. I feel so honored to have had her as part of my wedding day team and am so pleased I went with Skyla Arts for my wedding beauty needs :) read more

For my wedding, I had six bridesmaids, a mother-in-law and my aunt who wanted their hair and make-up done. Christi found Treja McClish out of Sonoma County to assist with hair and make-up. I implicitly trust whomever Christi recommends. On the wedding day, Christi and Treja were a delight to be with. Not only are their hair and make-up skills on point, they effortlessly fit in with the group of ladies that were getting ready that morning. I highly recommend Treja! read more

Skyla Arts - Makeup Artists Near Me

Thank you Liz and Carolyn so much for making us look so beautiful! Everything was perfect :) I got many compliments on my hair & makeup!! Best of all, it lasted ALL day and night. Most importantly, I let the tears run during our ceremony buy my face stayed intact thanks to Liz! Thanks to Liz and Carolyn I achieved the look I wanted and they helped make our day picture perfect :) Our 8 and 14 year old daughters' hair and makeup was done, too, and they looked beautiful! They made their hair and makeup look just right for their age and they both loved it! read more

I was so lucky that Liz fit me in last minute to do my makeup and hair for a party! Liz booked our appointment for two hours...which I thought would be way too much time...as I wanted a natural look. To my surprise, we used more than 1.5 of those hours and many many products! At the end, I could not stop looking in the mirror...I looked amazing...way better than I did more than 15 years ago when I was married. I got so many compliments at my party...people couldn't tell I had false eyelashes on but my eyes looked amazing. She even put something in my hair that gave it texture and it never flattend out...why doesn't my hair solon have that stuff...I need that! I'm ashamed to admit that I got too drunk that night and went to bed without washing off my makeup...I looked amazing the next day and didn't lose a single lash! The whole experience was fantastic...Liz was so welcoming and engaging but she didn't miss a beat the whole time. I will definitly use her again and will recommend her to everyone! The only thing that would have made the experience better, is if I had the presence of mind to take notes so that I could try and learn something. read more

Working with Liz was a dream! She brings incredible talent in both makeup and hair. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup and prefers a natural look, I loved that she was able to create a look that felt authentic to my personal style, while still feeling special enough for a wedding day. I'd highly recommend Skyla Arts! read more

I don't wear any makeup (I'm the kind of girl who often goes to work in the morning with my hair wet and lets it air-dry there), so when I needed to get a professional photo taken, I felt rather helpless. Liz of Skyla Arts came to the rescue. I found her to be a consummate professional, from the initial appointment setup to how she was careful to listen to my preferences, while still proferring guidance on what she thought would work best. She has a delightful personality that set me right at ease at her home studio (she also has a friendly cat!). She handled makeup, hair, and photography, which was wonderfully convenient for me. I went for a more natural look, and even so came out looking probably the best I've been. She also offers some light retouching, but frankly, if I hadn't managed to get lipstick on my teeth (I'm graceful like that), I don't think I would've needed any changes or enhancements at all because the shots came out great. I'm quite proud of the resulting photos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Skyla Arts to anyone. I'd feel comfortable using her for other occasions as well; I definitely got the sense that she has quite a range, as you can see in her online portfolio, and it's really just a matter of what your needs/wants are. read more

Liz did my makeup for a friend's wedding this past weekend and I absolutely LOVED my look. Besides being friendly and professional, Liz knew exactly what I wanted with little instruction. Most importantly, my makeup remained intact throughout the entire night and I received many compliments on how natural my makeup looked. Thank you Liz for your fantastic work! Even when pressed for time, you managed to make all six bridesmaids look flawlessly beautiful and stylish. I would definitely recommend Liz! :) read more

I asked for a simple blowout for a wedding I was attending this weekend, but instead got hair that looked bad (too stick straight instead of creating volume, too much hairspray given that there was a lot of frizz even after the hairstyle was "done"...not at all wedding ready). I had to restyle my hair once I got to the hotel before the wedding so I could be decent for the pictures. read more

YES, we love these ladies! Skyla Arts performed wedding makeup for our May wedding, and we absolutely recommend this team of stylists. I worked with Liz to create the bridal wedding look. I requested an overall natural/sun kissed look - Liz nailed it. Consulting with Liz was very easy - she listens to requests, offers options, and receives feedback. She was effortlessly able to re-create a gorgeous updo from Pinterest photos. Execution on the day-of was perfect. Liz and her team pampered our entire bridal party, and it was a great experience. Hair and makeup lasted throughout the 10hr+ day for the entire bridal party. Makeup and lash quality was fabulous and comfortable to wear all day. Thank you, Skyla Arts for making the wedding day gorgeous. read more

I highly recommend Liz as a makeup artist! She did my makeup and hair for my wedding last month and I was so happy with the results! Liz is very professional, showing up at 7:30 am on the dot on my wedding day. I had quite a few people in my wedding party that needed makeup, and she worked for hours without taking a break, I felt so bad! And she really listens to what you want! My trial was several months before the actual wedding day, and I was afraid that she would forget the look I wanted, but she was able to remember every detail. Thanks! read more
