Crystal and her team are incredible!! H&M looked amazing and she was so helpful during the wedding day. Highly recommend!!

I am Chinese American and typically don’t wear make up (and have never worn foundation before). I obviously wanted a full face of makeup on my wedding day, but knew that a heavy full face would make me look silly instead of glamourous. I specifically wanted to look at portfolios of MUA that have done make up on asian eye shapes as I have struggled with eyeshadow and eyeliner on my own eyes watching generic YT clips. I was so happy to find Drake Artistry Collective. They have a portfolio showcasing their capabilities doing natural make up on Asian Americans and their capabilities of doing heavier makeup as well.

I shared my concerns of not wanting to “feel the heaviness of makeup on my face” and the fact that my hair is extremely thin/fine and gets oily very easily. Crystal listened to these concerned and told me exactly how she would handle it. She was great in her explanation on what she does and how she differs from other vendors. I had reached out to several before finding her and after speaking to her on the phone, I knew to move forward with her.

Trial run went perfectly - she even took some pictures in a “professional” setting to show me how the makeup would look like in certain lighting. We touched base after the trial to ensure everything lasted as it should and any tweaks that were needed. On the day of, her and her team arrived on time and were professional the whole time. I had a large bridal party of 8 people as well as my mom and MIL AND the flower girl. And they were great in timing things out and leaving space for any touch ups that were required. They even thought to schedule out each of my girls according to hair thickness and etc. Everything was perfectly planned. I would 100000% recommend them to anyone looking for a MUA.

Crystal and her team (I worked with Sarah, Angela, and Maddie) were AMAZING! From the initial inquiry to my wedding day they were so helpful and kind. The trial that they offer is wonderful and Crystal even takes professional quality pictures to send to you so you can look it over and see if you want to change anything about your look. The day of the wedding was perfect. Everyone arrived on time and they were very professional. I booked the retain service in case I needed touch ups before/after the ceremony but my hair and makeup looked great literally all night. I was extremely impressed because typically my hair doesn’t hold curl that well. I am so glad that I had Drake Artistry there for me on my wedding day. They are the highest quality hair and makeup artists that you could ask for!
