    Made me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful!

    I would recommend Olivia and her team with out hesitation for hair and makeup on your wedding day! The trial was seamless and Olivia nailed exactly what I envisioned on the trial and my wedding day. Kyla did my hair and was able to replicate my inspiration images perfectly. They both were so fun and delightful to get ready with in the morning and brought a sense of calm and ease.

    Olivia, Kyla, and Tiffany were my hair & makeup dream-team! I felt SO beautiful, and my girls were GORGEOUS. They do amazing work and are efficient and organized. We were even done ahead of schedule. They were so accommodating, even changing the start time to an earlier time at my request, despite having another wedding before mine. They executed the vision for my hair and makeup & that of my bridesmaids with ease. They are such sweet people and put you at ease. We were having a great time getting ready for the wedding and it was like having an extension of your friend group there. My trial with Olivia and Kyla was great and they made me feel so confident that I would feel as beautiful as I hoped on my wedding day. I can't say enough about their professionalism, skills, creativity, flexibility, and kindness. Don't miss out on the opportunity to have these girls make you feel your best for your wedding day. <3

    I could go on and on!

    Not only did I simply enjoy having Tiffany *around* the morning of my wedding, she made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt by an order of magnitude. I walked out of the dressing room feeling so ready and it's a credit to Tiffany's careful and subtle touch. As someone who usually doesn't feel at ease in front of the camera, all day long I felt totally confident and comfortable.

    On top of being skilled and understanding of what I wanted, she was also just a really reassuring and positive presence in the room. Also: trial was great, Tiffany was totally flexible when I changed my mind about my hair after the fact, and Olivia is a sweetheart. One of the many reasons I wish I could do it all again!

    I loved my makeup so much by Olivia Hawthorne that I seriously considered not washing my face at night! She is so personable, professional and talented. My correspondence was always quickly returned and her and her team showed up early on-site and well dressed. They were open to feedback if anyone wanted to make changes and everyone looked stunning! This team is amazing--you will not regret hiring them!

    WORKING WITH OLIVIA WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I MADE! Olivia is so incredibly talented and made me feel exceptionally beautiful on my wedding day. She listened to me throughout the entire process and created a soft, natural make-up look while also ensuring I got to feel like Lauren 2.0! Did I mention I had a small tan-line on my back that had been there for 6 months? Olivia made it GO AWAY with the magic of makeup (something not even a spray tan was able to take care of). She also brought with her a team of knowledgeable hair stylists that helped me and my sister feel picture perfect. We had to look no further than Olivia for all our beauty needs! If I were a celebrity millionaire Olivia would lead my glam squad! I would recommend her 100%, without hesitation!

    Olivia was so awesome to work with!! I wanted my bridal makeup to stand out and be more dramatic than my everyday look but I still wanted to feel and look like me - she gave me the exact look that I had envisioned :) she listened to what I liked and didn’t like and I felt so amazing on my wedding day. She was prompt to return my inquiry, great with communication, and punctual. I felt completely confident knowing that Olivia would be the one to do my bridal makeup and knew I could count on her for my wedding day. I highly recommend Olivia!!

    I was referred to Olivia through a good friend, I'm so glad she did! Olivia was awesome to work with, so knowledgeable about makeup the industry and all the latest makeup trends. I trusted her expertise so much I went out and bought some of the makeup items she suggested for my every day wear! Olivia is so easy and fun to talk with, and she makes you fell very comfortable! I look forward to working with her again in the future!

    I could not recommend Olivia and team enough. I was hesitant about hiring a makeup artist for my wedding because I am pretty darn good at makeup myself and I am very particular about how my makeup looks. After my trial run with Olivia and team, I had ZERO doubts that I had made the right decision to go with her, and was so comfortable and confident about how I would look on my wedding day. Olivia's talent, flexibility, and ability to understand what it is her clients really want is unparalleled. And it certainly doesn't hurt that she is a super cool, sweet person. She made the wedding day so easy and fun, and I came out looking even better than I had imagined. I recommend Olivia to every bride to be I know!

    Olivia was THE BOMB! Seriously, she made my day. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day that it pained me to take my makeup off at the end of the night. She was so wonderful throughout this often stressful planning process. My makeup trial was fun and she was completely ok with me giving honest feedback and tweaking things slightly like lip color and blush. The day of her team was wonderful. Both myself and all of my girls felt like stars. They showed up early and were a calming force during the day. We were a mixed bunch and when I first reached out to Olivia I wanted to make sure that her and her team were able to provide makeup services to a diverse group of girls. I mean, diverse! We were Black, White, Latino, Asian, Indian (from India). She assured me that they were all trained and had the full-color palatte. No awful makeup stories here. All of us looked and felt flawless. I can't begin to thank Olivia enough for her services. It was important to me that we all felt and looked like the best versions of ourselves and that's exactly what she provided. I would recommend Olivia in a heartbeat and I hope somehow I get to work with her in the future!

    I had my wedding in July and Olivia was perfect! The makeup and hair was beautiful and she even redid the hair trial when I changed my mind about the hairstyle. She brought another stylist to help with the volume of my hair (my hair is heavy and is hard to keep volume). I loved her and I would highly recommend her to everyone! I wish I could get married again so Olivia could do my hair and makeup again!

    Olivia is INCREDIBLE!! Looking for hair and makeup vendors was not something I was super excited about doing. I don't wear that much makeup, I didn't know what questions to ask or how to describe what I wanted. But then I met Olivia and all of my worries disappeared. I had so much fun at my consultation! She looked at my inspiration pictures and just knew what to do. I appreciated her describing the process as she went along and why she was doing things certain ways. The day of the wedding went wonderfully. I had six people getting their makeup done with me (Olive brought a second artist who was also amazing) and we stayed on schedule and everyone looked absolutely stunning. Olivia and Cori were so much fun to have in our bridal suite while we were all getting ready; it felt like they were part of our crew and not just random people there doing a job. I could not have been happier with how my makeup turned out. It was exactly what I wanted and lasted all day and night. Amazing experience.

    Olivia is simply the best. I was referred to Olivia by a friend and I am so happy I chose her and her team. I booked Olivia and her associates for myself, my mother, mother-in-law and eight bridesmaids for hair and makeup. The team of 4 women knocked out everyone's hair and make up in a timely fashion and they were super fun to work with. Olivia did my make up and Kyla did my hair. We scheduled a trial a few months prior to the wedding and I looked exactly how I always pictured I would. I highly recommend Olivia, Kyla, Brittany and Olivia (two Olivias!) as a hair and make up team!

    Olivia was my absolute favorite vendor I hired for my wedding! She is an unbelievably kind and talented makeup artist and hair stylist and I couldn’t be more happy with her work. I met with Olivia for a trial run a few months before the wedding and she made the process so easy for me. I have makeup allergies and she knew exactly which products to use for my skin to prevent breakouts. I was so amazed! On the day of the wedding, I was so grateful for her calm and funny personality (which definitely helped to keep me calm and happy!) and for the beautiful hair and makeup she did for me that morning. She took my direction of “I want to be glam, but still look like me” and really executed it perfectly. She and her team did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law. They were all so happy with their looks! Thanks so much, Olivia!

    I am so happy that I found Olivia Hawthorne. Olivia herself was booked for my wedding day, but Colie, a member of her team, did an amazing job on my makeup. Olivia was present for my trial with Colie which felt so professional with before and after photos and Olivia took notes on the products that Colie was using so that they would be available for reference on the wedding day. My trial was great, but it seemed like too much makeup for me because I don't normally wear makeup ever. I discussed it with Olivia after the fact and she got the information to Colie. Leading up to the wedding I was a little nervous because I hadn't spoken to Colie about it myself, but she showed up that day and was so professional (she even brings her own fancy chair for you to sit in) and already had a game plan to tone some of the products down. When she turned the mirror to show me the finished makeup at the end I was shocked at how amazing I looked. She covered up all of my patchy red breakouts that I've been dealing with for months that I was just sure couldn't be covered up and it still looked so light and natural. I wish I could look like that everyday. It looked wonderful in photos and up close in person. I know you're not supposed to, but I even fell asleep in it and still looked like I had flawless skin in the morning. It didn't even feel like I had it on. If you're someone who wears a lot of makeup normally you'll love all the extra they can do, which I was able to see at my trial. But if you aren't used to wearing as much and want a simpler look that's still impactful then you will love them too. I am so glad to have found Colie. I wish I had a reason to hire her again.

    I absolutely loved working with Olivia for my wedding. Not only was she professional, organized and great at communicating, her product was stunning! I planned my Oregon wedding from Alaska, but she was so personable and her portfolio was so beautiful that I had zero reservations committing to her without a trial (I did a trial couple days before the wedding, but not before booking with her). She did the makeup for myself, 3 sisters and mom and we all looked and felt our best. She brought a hairstylist she worked with, Paige, to do our hair and again, the overall look, feel and quality was exceptional. I would highly recommend Olivia for wedding makeup and hope I have an excuse to have my makeup done by her again in the future.

    Olivia did my makeup for my recent September wedding. She did such an awesome job and the look was exactly what I was going for! It was absolutely beautiful and I got so many compliments. Olivia was very professional and fun to work with. She got me done and out the door in a timely fashion and my makeup looked great all night long. I would highly recommend her!

    I am so happy I chose Olivia to do my makeup for my wedding. She was so warm and welcoming and she listened to exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. She used many Bobbi Brown products, which is a brand I love as well as a custom color for my lips which looked AMAZING! She was also so flexible when it came to time of doing makeup on my wedding day. My ceremony was at 11AM so she and Paige, my hair person who was also recommended to me through her, came to my mom's house at 6AM! Not only that, at the last minute I asked if it would be possible for her to come to the venue to do some touch ups and she said no problem! I felt so natural during my whole wedding I did not feel like I had makeup on at all! So many thanks to her :-)

    Olivia is the most talented make up artist I know. She is a complete package, from the excellent customer service and professionalism to the sweet smile she will greet you with. She will fit you in when you need it, charges a very fair price and always provides excellent service. I highly recommend her, whether for hair, make up, wedding day, special photos or simply wanting your eye brows done. She is the best at what she does.

    Olivia is a pleasure to work with! She is easy going, kind, and funny, and can put any bride at ease. She's also extremely professional, responsive, organized, and has clean tools & awesome products. I changed my mind before the big day from our trial run and she adjusted quickly to deliver exactly what I wanted!

    Where do I start with Olivia. . .From the moment I met her for the trial I felt I'd known her for years. She was personable, funny and I instantly felt at ease because she knew what the heck she was doing. I wanted a very simple, elegant look that she executed perfectly. I didn't need her to adjust anything. Then came the wedding day. I was THAT bride that changed what I wanted the day of. Olivia took my "bolder look" challenge with grace and did her magic. I think I said maybe two descriptive words of what I had in mind and getting it "right" doesn't even come close. Olivia's work was PERFECT. I felt so confident and beautiful on my big day. I am so grateful for Olivia and would recommend her 100% times over. Oh and did I mention, she also tackled a party of 11 on my big day and not one person had a complaint - she rocks!

    Olivia arrived on time and was a delight to visit with. Her assessment of what I wanted was professional and she worked quickly and seamlessly. She is a true artist and she made me feel both confident and beautiful for our vows renewal/anniversary party celebration. I will recommend her to all my friends. It was a pleasure to meet her!

    Olivia is AWESOME. I hired her to do my wedding makeup and after looking at my Pinterest board she immediately understood my vision and did exactly what I was dreaming of. She is able to create a look that is both glam, but also naturally beautiful at the same time so it doesn't look over-the-top. She is super sweet, friendly, organized, and professional. Olivia did me and my bridesmaids makeup and we have literally never looked better. She also hired additional artists to help out with all my bridesmaids since I had so many, and every artist she hired was amazing. So glad I booked Olivia!!

    Oliva is amazing!! First of all, she is just the sweetest person. I was recently in a wedding where Oliva had to rescue my hair, she swooped in and seriously saved me! She is professional, quick at what she does, but more importantly rocks at what she does! My hair looked amazing, and it received multiple compliments :)

    I highly recommend Olivia! She was the makeup artist for my wedding and did a FABULOUS job! Olivia is professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented! She did a makeup trial for me before the wedding and then did an additional brow wax as well. Olivia really went above and beyond! I also loved that she added lashes to all of my bridesmaids the day of the wedding. Olivia is the absolute best!
