Tiffany was an incredible makeup artist for my wedding. I was very picky with choosing my MUA and when I saw Tiffany’s work I knew I had found the right artist. She matched my vision completely and gave me makeup that felt like me but enhanced. I felt so beautiful and confident. Tiffany was so sweet and listened to my every need!

I can’t say enough great things about Bridal Luxe Beauty by Viviana! I want to start off by saying that Viviana is a great communicator. She responds quickly and sends reminders about appointments periodically. She also includes some great wedding day tips which were super helpful. On my wedding day she arrived on time and was very organized. Before getting started she made sure that I eaten and was comfortable which was super refreshing because amongst the madness I had forgotten to eat. She goes out of her way to cater to you as a bride! She also already has your inspiration pictures pulled up and ready to go and discusses what you like about the inspiration. She also asked me questions about my hair and skin type so she can use products best for me. There were times where I was uncertain about my color palette and she took the time to show me what she had and different combinations she could do. My make up and hair came out beautifully and it stayed throughout the entire night. Viviana was even kind enough to include a touch up kit. I would 100/10 recommend you book her for your special day.

In 2011 I started as a freelance makeup and hair artist in college as a weekend job, then grew my business into a full time job. In 2013 I went to Cosmetology school to receive my cosmetology license. I love everything beauty oriented and enjoy being able to work in an industry that makes people feel and look beautiful.

I had the best experience with Sharon! I discovered her on Instagram and was immediately impressed by her work. She was flexible, accommodating, friendly, and incredibly professional! During the hair and makeup trial, I showed her some inspiration photos, and she was able to replicate the look perfectly on me. It just so happened that the trial was on the same day my husband and I went to the courthouse to sign our marriage license, so I was thrilled to look my best! On the wedding day, Sharon did hair and makeup for the mothers of the bride and groom, my husband, and me. My hair and makeup looked flawless and stayed in place all night long—I didn't even need the emergency makeup kit she left me with. Sharon is amazing! You absolutely need to book her for your wedding or engagement shoots!

I’ve always loved hair and makeup, so getting it professionally done was one of the things I was most excited about for my wedding. Choosing a HMU artist was overwhelming, especially with so many highly recommended options. Emily Lynn & Co. stood out to me because of their natural approach. Their website had an editorial yet relaxed and fun vibe that resonated with me. As a graphic designer, a beautifully designed brand and website played a big role in all my vendor decisions—but Emily Lynn & Co.'s work truly spoke for itself. I had the pleasure of working with Colette as my lead artist, and I can’t recommend her enough. She made the trial experience so comfortable by coming to my apartment, which was so nice. Colette really understood my vision—I wanted to look like myself, not too overdone, but with a touch of soft glam, and she nailed it perfectly. I also had Josie do hair for a few wedding party members, and everyone looked incredible. The atmosphere while getting ready was fun yet wonderfully calm. I highly recommend Emily Lynn & Co. to anyone looking for a top-notch HMU team!

She turned a really stressful situation into the least of my problems! Her makeup and hairstyling she did was absolutely perfect and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day.

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly.

it’s been almost a year since my wedding and I still look at photos of this day and admire Campbell’s work every time I walk past our hanging prints. Covid changed my original wedding plans and so when our back up backyard wedding was thrown together in 2 months, make up was the #1 thing I was anxious in finding someone to do. I saw a friends make up for her courthouse wedding and asked her for the contact - who ended up being Campbell! and let me tell you, she absolutely KILLED IT!! Because of the rush, I did not have a chance to do a trial. My first time meeting her was the morning of my wedding - she came with any and everything I could have wanted to create looks from scratch and of course, knocked it out of the park for myself and my bridal party plus she was so accommodating on cost, you’d be missing out to pass up on her! excellent communication all the way up to the day and through the day, she made sure to stay on site after first looks to make sure I was pretty again for the ceremony, and was able to create various looks from dark and moody to natural and bridal - all in a matter of hours.

I have been a hairstylist and makeup artist for 20 years, based up and down the West Coast - currently based in Los Angeles. Coming from a family of hair stylists, I was born into it and the constant strive to be the best has been there from the start. I’m sure most stylists say this but I genuinely mean it when I say I LOVE my job. I have such a passion for hairstyling, and specifically for bridal/wedding bookings. My brides and wedding party’s are always my favorite experiences.

Selecting Megan for my hair (and makeup!) on my big day was the best choice I ever could have made. Big truth: YOU WANT TO LOOK YOUR BEST! For the moment and for the memories (what other day do you have so many photos of you?!?!?). Megan made me look and feel sensational (if I do say so myself lol). Before the wedding we went through a detailed trial run, which not only made me SO excited, it also set my mind at ease (I’m a natural planner and I want to know the details!) She took my inspirational photos and brought them to life with her artistry, which ultimately was better than what I could have imagined. That’s what you want. Someone who will listen to you, then create something even better. She is professional through and through. She has years of knowledge to bring to the table. She even worked on my hair color the months leading up to the wedding to get that right (these grays and highlights don’t fix themselves and have the ability to glisten in the sunlight!). Here’s another thing - you want the people around you on your big day to uplift you and honestly, be people you WANT to hang out with. They are a part of the experience. Having Megan there was fun! I knew was in good hands AND she was a joy to be with. Really important people! Whenever I look at those photos or think back on those morning memories, it brings a huge smile to my face! I highly recommend!

She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, came fully prepared with a top-tier makeup kit, and created a calm, relaxing atmosphere that made the whole getting-ready process so enjoyable. Birdie’s talent made not only me but also my mom and sister look absolutely stunning.

With Over 10+years in the beauty industry I pride myself on top quality services, products and continued education.

My Goal is Creating customized looks for every client based on their own beauty and style. I do hope to one day create a look that brings out the beauty within you.

You always hear those horror stories about how your make up turns out terrible on your wedding day? NOT ME!! I was so nervous and had no clue what I even wanted. Lili not only talked me through my options. She did a trial and walked me through everything. I looked fantastic just in the trial! Come wedding day, Lili came on time and set up everything for me and my bridesmaids. She was neat and organized and cared alot about sanitation. My entire wedding party looked fantastic and I couldn’t have been happier. My make up looked so amazing and made me feel so beautiful. I 100% would recommend her, and will use her for other events.
