    Honest/Open-minded/Kind First Service

    My four friends and I got ready at the Luminous Studio before my Van Dusen Mansion wedding. The studio was spacious, and the folks at Luminous were kind and authentic. It felt like I was working with people who put their heart into making their clients feeling comfortable and heard. This is THE wedding makeup studio of the Twin Cities to come to if you want to be heard as a client.

    The perfect makeup experience for my big day!

    Thank you SO much for your make-up wizardry for me and my attendants on my wedding day! It was a small affair, so getting the chance to pamper my ladies was so special. You were so gracious and professional to work with.

    Absolutely amazing!

    Betsy & her assistant did a wonderful job for myself and 6 bridesmaids. The makeup lasted all day! They were super flexible the day off to accommodate any last minute changes! I absolutely loved my makeup & wouldn’t have changed a thing!

    Amazing hair and makeup!

    Siobahn and Thadd did my hair and makeup along with my party of 6 people- they did such an amazing job! I was getting compliments all day! Even my photographer pointed out how well my makeup lasted into the night! They were professional and so fun to be around. I highly recommended Luminous Beauty to any bride who wants 10/10 hair and makeup :)

    Perfectly personalized

    For my wedding party, we all had different hair and different makeup, ranging from natural to goth. Betsey and her team were more than accommodating. She gave her professional opinions when needed while also providing a very friendly atmosphere. I would suggest Luminous Beauty to anyone. It is on the pricey side for 9 hair and makeup bridesmaids and myself, but it was worth it.

    Great work!

    Betsey and Thad were delightful artists who made my crew look luminous! I booked a makeup service from out of state and went without a trial since we were only in town for a few days. From the very beginning, Betsey was incredibly clear regarding policies, pricing, and other logistics. She and Thad maintained a calm atmosphere during the big day and kept things light and fun. I highly recommend Luminous Beauty!

    Dream Team!

    The Luminous Beauty team was a dream to work with on my wedding day! I had talked with Betsey beforehand about timelines and the team was prompt and efficient, completing hair and makeup for seven women the day of my wedding and on schedule. I was so impressed with the team’s ability to see a few pictures and make each person’s vision come to life! I naturally have a lot of skin redness and was nervous it would show on my wedding day. Betsey and team addressed my concerns and worked their magic to completely cover up the redness and make sure the coverage lasted until I washed my face at the end of the night. That meant so much to me. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, thanks to the Luminous Beauty team. I would highly recommend Luminous Beauty for your wedding or special event.

    Amazing Hair and Makeup!

    Luminous Beauty was amazing to work with! Betsey and her team are super responsive, fun, and do awesome work! We all loved our hair and makeup for the wedding!!

    Could Not Have Been Happier

    I have been in a lot of weddings over the last few years and I wish that Luminous Beauty had been at all of them because I have never felt more beautiful or have had so many compliments before. Betsey and her team are simply magical. We were all ready earlier than expected even though we added one more person that day. If you are looking for true professionals who care deeply about their craft and their clients, look no further than Luminous Beauty.

    Incredible experience

    We were pretty late planning our wedding events, meaning I reached out to Betsey to ask about her availability less than a month in advance. I chose Luminous Beauty because of the great reviews, and I am *so* glad that I did. A few highlights/aspects that really stood out to me:
    - Betsey able to sneak me in for day-of hair and makeup and for a trial despite being solidly booked, something that others I'd reached out to weren't able to.
    - Betsey herself did my makeup, while Lacey did my hair. Both are incredible at what they do: I've been a bridesmaid in a few weddings before, and those experiences were nothing compared to the service/quality of hair and makeup that I received here
    - I was fairly nervous/stressed because of everything going on that day, but I can say without a doubt that the 1-2 hours I spent with Betsey and Lacey were instrumental in helping me to relax and actually enjoy the experience

    To be honest, I could not have asked for a better experience, and I would absolutely recommend Luminous Beauty to anyone.

    Best Wedding Beauty Team!

    Luminous Beauty was incredibly professional, efficient (we had 9 bridesmaids, 2 mothers of the bride, and myself), and made everyone look and feel beautiful! Everyone loved their hair and makeup and they were fun to work with. I'd highly recommend the Luminous Beauty team!

    Amazinggg 🤩

    Hands down, best experience with a make up artist I’ve ever had! I got makeup done for a friend’s wedding and she generously scheduled me 3 days before. Her salon was neat and clean, like a dream set up for make up lovers. She made sure everything was clean and sanitized and applied the make up with a skillful hand. She worked with me, gave options, and we came out with an amazing look that lasted hours into the night. It was the first time I was happy with the makeup I got done. I am South Asian so the different skin color was not an issue either. Her passion/ability shows in her work and it felt like an empowering business for women. I wish I could have her in my home town 😭

    Amazing, Welcoming, & Calming

    Betsy has created an amazing business. She was extremely helpful, especially with my last minute request for Luminous Beauty to do our makeup for my wedding. Betsy did my trial makeup and explained the process to me. She was very personable and open. She also knew how to work with my Trichotillomania by making my eyes pop and give the illusion I had eyelashes. Alice did our makeup the day of my wedding and was just as amazing! She was timely, fun, and did phenomenal work. Alice helped calm my nerves by joking around and reminding me to breathe. The makeup also lasted all night without issue! I’m so glad I was able to work with these two ladies and cannot recommend them enough!

    Amazingly talented team - would book again in a heartbeat!

    Betsey and her team (the amazing Grissel, Mary and Thadd) were phenomenal!! They provided on-site hair and makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids (with fair to dark complexions), and 2 mothers day of. Everyone looked stunning! I was nervous choosing a on-site team from out-of-state. After submitting an online inquiry on the Luminous Beauty website I received a phone call that day from Betsey (not a template auto-email)! All correspondence with her and her team was timely and left me with a smile - which is all a bride can ask for! Betsey made me feel comfortable and empowered as a client. Beyond happy I chose Luminous Beauty for my wedding! Highly recommend her and her team as well as doing trials before the big day! I only wish I lived in MN so I could use Luminous Beauty for other events!!

    Absolutely Perfect Experience!!!

    I cannot even begin to express just how much I love Betsey, Lacey, and her team and how enjoyable, easy, and fun they made my entire experience. Hands down the best wedding makeup and hair experience in the greater Twin Cities. I found Luminous Beauty when I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding, and Betsey and her team were so experienced, knowledgeable, and FUN, I immediacy knew I was going to book them for my upcoming wedding. I HIGHLY recommend scheduling skin service appointments with Betsey prior to your big day. I’ve NEVER had a facial prior to talking with Betsey, but she was so supportive, caring, and effective! I expressed my skin concerns with her when I initially booked for my wedding, which were mostly driven by wearing a face mask every day at work. She suggested facials once a month leading up to my wedding, and I am SO happy I did it. Not only was my skin so smooth and clear, but my pores were basically nonexistent. Look no further for you hair and wedding makeup artists, and ensure you book the personalized facial services leading up to your big day

    Fan for life!

    I got married in June and used Luminous Beauty for my bridal make up in addition to my bridesmaids. Betsey made me look gorgeous and I am so so thankful I found her after a long search. I opted for the airbrush look and I received so many compliments throughout the night. I also cried during the wedding and the make up continued to look flawless. I would recommend Betsey and her team over and over again. I can't say thank you enough to these lovely ladies and I look forward to seeing Betsey again for facials! I can't say enough great things about Betsey and her team but if you're looking for make up services, look no further!

    Wish I Found Them Sooner

    I needed my makeup done for my best friend’s wedding over Memorial Day weekend. I was a bridesmaid. The MUA I initially booked canceled on me the morning of the ceremony. But beyond the short notice, Betsy squeezed me in and made me feel like a VIP customer. I’m a black woman and Betsy color matched my skin perfectly, chose complimentary colors, and listened to how I *wanted* to look. I’ve never gotten so many compliments in my life. Her assistant is so kind and everyone at her studio is professional and friendly. They’re young, hip, and well stocked in high end products. But her services didn’t break the bank! She will be the MUA I recommend forever now.

    Betsey + the dream team

    In the pre-COVID before times, I found Luminous Beauty online while doing some wedding research, and was instantly impressed. So of course, I hired Betsey and her team to do hair + makeup for my 5 bridesmaids and I on 10/10/2020. She was responsive, helpful, and her services were reasonably priced, what's not to love? We were all ready to go, until COVID struck. My fiancé and I, like many other couples, had to come up with a plan b as it was becoming apparent our October wedding date wasn't going to happen the way we wanted it to. Betsey was so flexible as we made the decision to downsize our wedding to from 170+ people to 13 people, meaning she would only do my hair + makeup. Not only was she ok with the down-sizing, but she also rescheduled our bigger agreement of my 5 bridesmaids and I for the following year without any rescheduling fees or runarounds. Her flexibility really helped me feel better as we made this tough decision. While I'm excited to work with her again for my bigger wedding on 10/02/21 (fingers crossed), she and her team did an excellent job making me feel beautiful for my smaller wedding day. I was really unsure about what I wanted when I went in for my trial, but Betsey and her team helped me find the right look. During the wedding day, my hair (which is very fine and hard to keep curled) looked perfect all day. The makeup Betsey did for me was also perfect. It was classy + elegant, and just completed my entire look. Leading up to my small wedding, I booked a few skincare appointments with Betsey to make sure my skin was wedding-ready. I had always wanted to try peels and learn more about my skin type, and Betsey was a really helpful teacher. So even if you're just looking for an esthetician, Betsey's a solid go-to. I'll definitely be recommending her to anyone looking for skincare/hair/makeup needs in and around the Twin Cities.

    Amazing service and worth every penny!

    Betsy was amazing for makeup for my sisters wedding! She did an amazing job and knew exactly what to do for the look my sister was going for! It was also so hot the day of the wedding and Betsy made sure our make up would stay all did and it did! I would 100% recommend for makeup!

    Betsey helped create my look, went out and purchased everything I needed, and helped me learn to apply my makeup for my wedding taking outside the USA

    Betsey is an exceptional professional and human being. Makeup is not in my comfort zone, and I needed help to learn how to apply makeup, to purchase it, and learn how to make my own look. She empowered me to feel confident and worthy of enjoying makeup as much as the next person! I cannot speak to the level of gratitude I feel for her generosity and services. Thank you Betsey❤

    Wonderful!

    Betsey and her team were a joy to work with! They were flexible and met the needs of my entire bridal party! They worked hard to get all our hair and makeup done in-time. It was such an easy, stress-free experience. I was thrilled with my makeup and hair; it stayed put all day!
