Having Karen as my artist was one of the best decisions I made! She was a dream to work with throughout the whole process. I booked her for my whole wedding party and my mother. She had another artist to help with the group and she was amazing as well! You can feel how much Karen cares about making her clients not only look beautiful on such a special day, but also feel beautiful. I’ve always wanted to do Hollywood waves with the soft glam look and Karen brought my entire vision to life. I couldn’t be thankful for her help on such an important day!

I worked with Rebecca on a styled shoot in Washington, DC recently and she was very professional and left our bride looking absolutely spectacular. She achieved a GORGEOUS french twist that gave our bride a stunning retro almost vintage look, with stunning soft makeup to compliment. She is also so kind and great to work with. Would 100% recommend!

I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!

Leah has done my makeup several times now and from someone who doesn’t often wear makeup, I usually just give her a vague idea of what I want and let her take the reins. She is always attentive and asks me questions along the way to make sure I’m getting what I want. My favorite look so far was on my wedding day! It felt natural for my face/style and held up all day. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup too! I always recommend her to any friends needing their makeup done!

Raven Reed | Luxury Bridal Beauty 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Merced, CA

My work can be described as elevated, intentional, and polished. Whether I am working with a bride who prefers to look more like their natural selves or a bride who is a sucker for full glam, I strive to create a luxurious experience for my clientele on their wedding day. Customizing your look with even the most subtle details can prove to be so impactful in enhancing your beauty. I can’t take all of the credit though! Your beauty inspires me— And at the core of it all, your own beautiful face is the roadmap to creating the most elevated version of yourself.

Raven did my bridal make up for my wedding in San Francisco in 2019 and she was absolutely amazing! About 2 years ago I faced the daunting situation of hunting for a make up artist in the US while living in Australia. This presented a number of obstacles but Raven never made it feel that way. She was always responsive and willing to go out of her way to talk with me or provide advice. But the best thing about Raven is that she genuinely cares about making her clients happy and will go the extra mile to make sure of that. At our make up trial, she refused to leave until she knew I was happy! A difficult task when working with someone like me who isn't used to wearing a lot of make up and hadn't had their make up done professionally since I was 18. Raven tackled this challenge with so much positive energy and never once made me feel guilty for not quite knowing what I wanted. And on the day Raven perfectly captured the natural, but polished look that I was after. I absolutely loved my make up and received so many compliments throughout the day and night.

I was taking selfies and so many photo because I felt sooo gorgeous! I loved every product Lauren used on me. I had to write them down and purchase them for myself after!

Hello! my name is Maya and I have been a makeup artist since 2014. It has always been one of my passions and I love being able to work with brides one on one to bring their vision for their big day to life.

Working with mymakeupartistmaya for my wedding day was an absolute pleasure. From our first conversation, I could tell their communication style was easygoing and funny, which helped keep me calm and relaxed leading up to the big day. They were also incredibly timely, arriving bright and early and ready to get started on the 9 faces of makeup they had to do. The final results were absolutely beautiful and elegant - the makeup lasted all night and looked exactly how I had envisioned. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty professional to be a part of our special day.

Chels Kay Beauty Co. 

5.0

  • Serves Merced, CA

I am a freelance hair + makeup artist specializing in bridal and special event beauty services. Being an artist for over 13 years I take great price in delivering what it takes to be beautiful in your own skin using high quality cosmetics and the most important tool, your beauty.

I’m SO glad I chose Chelsey! She was such a great and easy person to work with from our first conversation all the way through the wedding, and her work is amazing! The make up turned out BEAUTIFULLY - I wanted the soft glam look from the pictures she posted online and that was exactly what she delivered. I got sooooo many compliments. It held up through plenty of tears. I just got the professional pictures back and the make up looks absolutely stunning. She made all my bridesmaids look amazing and it makes me so happy to see the photos of everyone I love looking so beautiful It was also so fun getting to know her while she was doing the make up. She’s a really awesome and interesting person! She felt like a part of our bridal crew on the day of, everyone loved talking with her while getting their hair and make up done. From a logistics perspective, she was also completely reliable. That brought me a lot of peace of mind when it easily could have been another stressor. She showed up exactly when she said she would and had all the professional supplies. She budgeted enough time to keep things on schedule. I had a destination winter wedding in Yosemite, and a few local vendors warned me that other MUAs sometimes no-show to weddings if the roads are snowy! I brought that up when I first spoke with Chelsey and she immediately gave me confidence that I could rely on her. She was super flexible and professional even when I changed the trial date several times. I finally decided to do the trial the night before the wedding (for the rehearsal dinner), which is of course a risk but I had no regrets! Her price was a little higher than other MUAs I spoke with but, considering the quality of her work and how easy and fun she was to work with, I have absolutely no regrets and strongly recommend her for any brides who might be considering her!!

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!
