    Great pricing, make-up that lasts all night!

    Elena did such a fantastic job! She effortlessly created my vision of an elegant look that highlighted my natural beauty. Furthermore, my makeup lasted all night, despite 90-degree heat, and looked fantastic in photos. She is a complete professional; her pricing is transparent and fair. Furthermore, she was able to accommodate my large bridesmaid party and get a total of 9 women done with makeup despite a noon-ready time! Would absolutely recommend her to any friends or family!

    A master of her craft!

    I hired Elena to do my makeup for my wedding and cannot recommend her services enough! I had to choose vendors from afar as I was planning my Sacramento wedding from Toronto, Canada. Elena had wonderful reviews, but it was her before and after photos on her Instagram that really sold me on her services. Elena has talent as a skilled makeup artist to make her clients shine - you're not looking at the makeup, you're looking at the client. I wanted to look like myself, natural, but elevated for my wedding and Elena hit it out of the park. She did a full face of makeup but it didn't feel like I was wearing a lot of makeup. Her makeup lasted for the entire day and looked flawless even into the wee hours of the morning. My bridesmaids were also super happy with their makeup as well. Elena made me feel at ease when I first met her at my trial - she's lovely, kind and bright, and her presence put me at ease on the day. I cannot recommend Elena's services highly enough, she far exceeded my expectations and was worth every single penny I spent on her services.

    Thank you Elena!

    For my wedding in August, I had the pleasure to work with Elena, as well as her hairstylist, who is Elena too. Elena was always very fast to respond to any of my questions. She is easy going, nice, and professional. She made me feel comfortable during the whole process. I was so happy with how my makeup and hair turned out for my special day. I felt beautiful. My bridesmaids and mom looked amazing. My sister was so happy with Elena's work that she is also going to have Elena as her makeup artist for her wedding next year. I'm excited to work with her again for that wedding!

    Beautiful hair and makeup!

    I worked with Elena for both hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and everybody looked absolutely beautiful! Elena was efficient and responsive and very open to feedback and everyone got the exact look they wanted for both their hair and makeup. The hair styles and makeup lasted everyone the entire day and night which is very impressive in 90+ degree heat! I am so happy that I will look back on my photos and feel confident and beautiful thanks to Elena!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup

    So far I have only worked with Elena on my trial and engagement photos, but I'm definitely excited for her to work her magic on my wedding day. For my trial I actually ended up running late because I took a wrong turn but she was understanding and really nice about it. I loved how my trial went, I wasn't sure what exact look I wanted but Elena made me look glamorous while also still looking like myself. Why I'm writing this review before my wedding is because the engagement shoot, it was outside in 90 degree weather but my hair and makeup did not budge AT ALL. I was so amazed, even through all the sweat I still felt beautiful with my hair and makeup. I'm so happy to be working with Elena and highly recommend her!

    Update: got married in May and I'm so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out thanks to Elena. I highly recommend her for anyone's wedding. I liked how Elena made sure I still looked like myself, she didn't hide any of my freckles. I changed my hairstyle from a comb at the trial to a viel at my wedding so I was going in a little blind on what my hair would look like but I'm so happy with how it turned out. I was sweating and cried at times during my wedding and my makeup did not budge. I'm so grateful to have had her help to feel beautiful on our big day!

    Obsessed!!! 11/10 would recommend!

    Elena was great and I highly recommend her!! I did a trial run for my bridal makeup with her, after showing her a few inspiration photos, and it was almost exactly what I wanted; I felt it out for the day, then gave her some notes (I needed a heavier under eye concealer and wanted a redder pallet for my eyes). For my big day, she knocked it out of the park!!! OMG, let me tell you, I've literally never looked so good. but the best part about how she does makeup is that I still looked like me. I wasn't cakey or contoured to high hell, I was just... enhanced! I got so many compliments on my makeup, including "I'm angry about your makeup.. It looks so good and you could look this good every day and it sucks that you don't." LOL. Anyways, she's great! Everyone in my party, including my mom, got their makeup done as well and they all felt so beautiful. Thanks, Elena!

    Brought out our best features!

    Elena did an incredible job on makeup for myself and my bridesmaids! Our makeup was perfect for our facial features and really brought out everyone's natural beauty. A couple of my bridesmaids never wear makeup and were unsure but she made them comfortable and gave them looks that were not overwhelming. The makeup really made us glow and lasted all night. So happy with how it turned out!

    A pleasure to work with!

    Elena was a joy to work with from day one! She was great at communication and clearly explained her services and how the day-of would run. She was flexible when we had a last minute hair/makeup change in the bridal party and she made us all look and feel our best on my big day. I would highly recommend Elena for both hair and makeup!

    Beautiful makeup & Hair

    Elena did a wonderful job on everyone's makeup and the hair was amazing as well. Even while being rushed by the photographers she did a great job. I had all different hair types and faces and she made everyone gorgeous. Definitely worth every penny!

    Amazing and Flexible!

    Elena is incredibly talented and helped guide me through the process. Then she put her magic to work and helped create the wedding look I wanted! She was extremely kind and patient and easy to work with! On top of all of that, she was very flexible with my early morning request, which helped ease the stress of planning. I really cannot recommend Elena enough!

    made the day

    Elena was an absolute dream to work with from the beginning. We had open communication during my trial, leading up to the wedding she provided a time line and the day of the wedding she was prompt, organized, kept us on time and most importantly - made everyone look their best! If I had to redo this day 10 times over, I would pick Elena every time!

    I felt so beautiful!

    Elena was so wonderful to work with! She was professional, yet I and all my bridesmaids felt so comfortable with her... and beautiful! I am so glad we were able to find her. I would recommend her to any and all my friends who are getting married, or looking to get their makeup done for something else!

    Elena did a great job on mine (bride), my mother, and my mother-in-law’s makeup for my wedding day. I really wanted full coverage, but also a very natural look for my wedding day. Elena helped me achieve just that and my makeup lasted all day!

    Great and easy to work with!

    I booked Elena to do makeup for my two sisters, mom and I for my wedding this September. Elena was so flexible and understanding with each of our different requests, as well as with scheduling. She was prompt on the day of and made the makeup scheduling all feel really relaxed and stress-free. I know we were all wanting to make sure our makeup was beautiful but natural looking and Elena was really receptive to these requests. I was also a bit picky during trial runs and Elena was so patient and even allowed me to do a second trial with her. We all enjoyed having her there with us as we were getting ready too! I would highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a makeup artist:)

    Elena is amazing!

    I am so beyond happy that I found Elena for my wedding makeup!! She is super talented, beyond sweet, and listens to all of your requests and concerns. I asked for a natural look that would make my eyes pop and she nailed it. Not only that, my super oily skin didn't show at all through the whole night. My bridesmaids and mom that had their makeup done by her looked gorgeous as well. Thanks for everything Elena!

    Highly recommend!

    I am so glad I chose Elena to do the makeup for my wedding, she did an amazing job! She did makeup for myself and three bridesmaids, and the results were beautiful. She listened so well to what everyone wanted and was flexible, even offering to do just eye makeup for one of my bridesmaids who wanted to do her own foundation and contouring. She spent well over an hour with me at the makeup trial making sure everything was perfect, and payed great attention to the small adjustments I wanted to make on the wedding day. Elena was so easygoing and sweet, and was amazing to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!

    Mother of the bride

    Elena is amazing at what she does. She not only did my daughters make up. 6 bridesmaids and both moms. She did my daughters make up exactly as she wanted and my daughter was beyond beautiful. The girls were stunning. My makeup lasted through the many tears of happiness and into the night, if you need a artist for your special day I highly recommend Elena. She is a pleasure to work with and I feel so blessed to have her part of my daughters magical day. I cannot thank her enough !!

    Wonderful experience!

    I booked Elena for hair and makeup for my September 2021 wedding (yes, I'm over a year late writing this), and I cannot recommend her enough! She and Yulia, the hairstylist, managed to make me, six bridesmaids, and my mom and MIL look incredible in just 6 hours and at 2 different locations since we had to get to the venue midday. Everyone got exactly the look that they asked for, and when one bridesmaid accidentally messed up her hair and makeup, Elena and Yulia redid her quickly and without complaint. They also did all this before 3PM knowing they had to drive to a different destination 3+ hours away immediately afterward. Both were lovely to talk to while we got ready, and they were so accommodating to our needs. You can't go wrong hiring Elena!

    Elena did my wedding makeup couple months ago with exceptional skills. She came very prepared for our trial makeup and took it very seriously as it was actual wedding day! She used on me airbrush machine to get flawless look as it was natural, it was my goal! She listened to every detail I told her and gave me some advice that I didn't think of, such as fake eyelashes (you really want to see them on the photos!) She made me feel confident on the most important day in my life. Thank you Elena!

    Elena was an amazing makeup artist. She did my makeup for my wedding day. For starters she came to my house to do a trial. I loved what she did and she really took her time. Her personality on top of that made it a great experience. She was so sweet and I really enjoyed talking to her. On the day of the wedding she was at the hotel before I even got there and did all of my bridesmaids and moms makeup. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. I'm so glad I chose her to do my makeup and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great makeup artist.
