Erica is the most wonderful, attentive, and talented makeup artist by far! I felt so incredibly lucky to work with Erica, she will work with you to make sure she gets your makeup exactly the way you want it. The pre-bridal face massage with the quartz roller, jade roller was amazing, it made me feel so calm, she even provided a touch up kit which had everything you would need, and a sweet note from Erica. Thank you so much, my bridesmaids were in awe of your talent, and I could not have looked more beautiful on my wedding day!!! -

As a 2021 bride doing it on the quick, I was hesitant that I would find an artist that fit my needs. Erica was easy to reach through email, and followed up with a call. She begins by discussing YOU. What is your skin regimen, what are you looking for, dress, hair, flowers, location, all the details like you are sharing for the first time with your maid of honor, and you get all the excitement too.
Erica is an artist. She starts with a blank palette and builds, accentuating your face as you express your vision and she interprets. You get access to her leading up to the big day and all her expertise that she holds.
I wanted a natural, effortless look that photographed well and I got exactly that, and more. Not to mention, the pamper session!
Your wedding day is a lot of work for a bride with how to hold the bouquet, walk slowly, smile, head down for the veil, tears, touch ups, and all the fun that comes after. I felt so relaxed and ready to go when the time came!
Erica is talented and thoughtful. I could not imagine my day without her.
Extra: Erica is a lash MASTER -

Erica Martell is INCREDIBLE! She was a dream to work with for so many reasons. Not only is she an insanely talented make-up artist, but she is also extremely professional, knowledgeable, funny, calming, responsive & truly cares about each of her brides and goes above & beyond for them. Being a lover of make-up that simply enhances your natural beauty, it was important to me to find the perfect make-up artist and I did. Throughout the entire wedding planning time (which was 2 and a half years for me because we postponed due to COVID), Erica would check in with me and set up times to talk about my vision for how I wanted to look & feel on my wedding, as well as my skin care routine. She even set up a facetime for us to solely discuss skin care, which was SO helpful! She provided product recommendations & spent time explaining to me what I should do to make sure I had the best skin for my wedding day. I used every piece of advice she gave me (& bought every single product she showed me-oops!) and my skin was flawless & glowing on my wedding day. From our trial and conversations she was able to create the bridal look of my dreams. She took so much care and time creating my bridal look that I truly felt (and looked!) like a celebrity. She made me not only look but also feel beautiful. She exudes positivity and makes you feel so comfortable. Starting the day with her was the best energy to go into my wedding with. On top of the beautiful quality of her work, her make up was SO durable and long lasting. During my first conversation with Erica, I had asked if she had any recommendations for hair stylists. She recommended the most amazing hair stylist and what was even better was that they are close friends & love working alongside each other. They created such a happy, welcoming, amazing vibe for all of us getting ready that morning! Together, they pampered me with a back, shoulder, neck, head, arm, hand, and face massage, which was absolutely heavenly! Erica was also so flexible throughout the entire process, even when I had to add extra people to the make-up service last minute. Since I had 13 people who needed services, Erica brought a second make-up artist to help, who was also amazing! It is evident that Erica only brings the best to help her. Every single person in my bridal party LOVED their make-up and said it was the best make-up they have ever had. They also RAVED about how Erica made each of them feel so special & beautiful. Erica’s calming, kind, and positive demeanor, on top of her incredible talent, make her highly qualified and I cannot express how highly I recommend her! She is truly the best of the best! -

Erica Martell- The Best Make Up Artist EVER
I hired Erica for my originally scheduled 2020 wedding which was postponed to July 2021. Throughout the two year process, Erica kept in touch and we often emailed about skin tips and product recommendations. When I finally met her in person for my trial a month before the wedding, I felt like she had been a friend for years. On the day of my wedding, she was an absolute calming force and made me and my entire bridal party look and feel stunning. I hired Erica to stay on through my first look until the ceremony and she not only touched up my makeup, she helped with falling pieces of hair or holding something for someone. She took the most glorious pics and even took pics of the ceremony from the second floor of the venue and sent to me later on that night. Erica not only made me feel so beautiful , she herself radiates an inner beauty and calm. I feel like I have a friend for life in Erica! -

I am SO thankful I chose Erica for my wedding day beauty services. She provided such a professional, personalized touch to my wedding day and I could not be more thankful. She enhanced all of our best features and rather than making us look like different people, we looked like the best versions of ourselves. She goes above and beyond to make sure her brides are happy, relaxed, and ready for the day. LOVED working with her and would definitely recommend her 10/10 times! -

Sierra S. Sent on 09/01/2021Best wedding decision I made
I truly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible Erica is- both as a makeup artist but more importantly, as a human. I had a lot of emotions surrounding the whole “getting ready” experience as I lost my mom four years ago and really dreaded the idea of missing her presence so acutely on such a momentous day. I relayed those fears to Erica during our first conversation and when I tell you I felt mothered by her the morning of my wedding, I don’t say that lightly. She was a calming, powerful presence for me. She made me feel beautiful and seen and cared for- and I honestly cannot imagine my day without her.
As a makeup artist you cannot find anyone better. I would bet any worldly possession on that. She is meticulous and gentle: she brings out the natural beauty we uniquely have without overpowering or changing our sense of self. I have never looked nor felt more beautiful than I did on June 25, 2021. Erica brought out the goddess in me and I would get married all over again just to feel as glam as I did.
Erica is a special soul- someone I hope to be connected to for a long while- hiring you was the single best decision I made for my wedding- and it’ll be yours too. -

Aside from her dedication to creating an experience for the bride, what sets Erica apart from other makeup artists is her attention to detail. From having an entire skin prep process including eye masks, facial massage, and lip serums to mixing colors to create a custom palate, I felt relaxed knowing that Erica knew exactly what look I wanted to achieve. Thank you so much, Erica! :) -

Erica was AMAZING! She went above and beyond for my special day!
She is professional, kind and has incredible knowledge on the makeup industry and services she provides.
With everything going on with COVID-19, she took extra precautions and took sanitation very seriously, so everyone felt comfortable and safe getting there makeup done. She made herself available for anyone in my bridal party to reach out to her and address any concerns they might have (even before Covid 😉.)
We all loved our finished look, feeling confident & beautiful. Even guests were complementing on how natural everyones makeup & eyelashes looked in person!
Erica is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does. I am so fortunate she was available when I hired her because she books up fast, so if you’re thinking of using her, act quick! -

Ariel R. Sent on 10/26/2019The best makeup artist you will ever find!
Erica is truly the BEST makeup artist I have met, and words cannot describe how happy I am that I hired Erica to do my makeup for me on my wedding day! First off, she is so unbelievably talented as a makeup artist. As someone who rarely wears makeup and doesn't know the first thing about how to do my own makeup, I was instantly put at ease the moment I met Erica at my makeup trial. Immediately, it was clear that Erica is a real expert, and that she does her job with an unparalleled level of both care and skill. At my makeup trial, Erica understood exactly what my vision was even though I could barely articulate it. And on my wedding day, Erica really delivered – above and beyond what I expected! In short, she totally exceeded my expectations (and that was hard given how much I LOVED the makeup she did for my trial). She made me look and feel my personal best – so beautiful and glamorous, but also natural and true to myself. Never did I feel like I had on too much makeup or that I was wearing too little. It was just perfect; no other words can describe how I felt about the way she made me look. On another level, Erica is an amazing person to hire for any special event. She is a warm and comforting presence during a time that is often stressful. She is also incredibly thoughtful – she did little things that made my wedding day even better, like giving me a hand massage before applying makeup and packing me a care package for the night. As an side note, I booked Erica’s beck and call services too, which meant that on my wedding day, she stayed with me from my first look until I entered the reception with my new husband, and I am SO happy that I booked those extra services. Throughout the entire day and night, she made sure everything went smoothly and I was always looking my best. I could go on and on about how happy I am with Erica’s services - the five-star rating is honestly not even enough! -

Covid wedding savior
Erica was an absolute dream to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone I know. Because of covid, we unfortunately had to push back our wedding date, but Erica was so understanding & helpful. She made a stressful time so much easier for me, and I'll be forever grateful. She was clear & professional about how she'd be handling wedding day makeup during covid times and I know it was appreciated by all. She took precautions very seriously & made us all feel safe.
My mom is typically very picky about makeup & has lots of sensitivity issues, but Erica handled her with grace (and my mom ended up loving her makeup)! Everyone's looks came out stunning. Erica has the ability to accentuate one's features, while not making it feel like you're wearing a ton of makeup.
My look flawlessly lasted all day & night (lipstick was completely in tact even at 4am!). Please, please, please book Erica ASAP. She's the absolute best! -

Seriously look no further. Erica is the best there is.
I was honestly was BLOWN AWAY with how Erica made me feel and look on my wedding day, exceeding every expectation. Beyond makeup, Erica brought a sense of calm, comfortability and confidence that set the tone for the rest of the day. Her initial skincare routine brought out a healthy glow and made my skin look the best it ever has-- even before the makeup! She introduced me to products ideal for my skin that I continue to use even today. If you prioritize skin health and want a perfected natural look, Erica should be your next call. I cannot imagine my wedding day without her! Book her now! -
