"Denise did a BEYOND amazing job for my wedding! I didn't have the time to do a trial but shared my previous experience with a makeup artist and my worry with looking too orange. She assured me that she works with olive skin tones and is confident that I will not be orange. I sent her a few examples of what I want which was to keep it natural yet glam as I still wanted to feel like myself. The morning of my wedding I showed her my outfit that I was wearing and the colors and she PERFECTLY color matched my lipstick color to the outfit. I got soooo many compliments on my makeup and am beyond glad I went with Denise. She made me feel so confident on my special day."

-Sabrina Dhaliwal from Orange County, CA

"Denise did the makeup for my wedding for myself, my bridal party, and my mom, and it all looked amazing! The makeup stayed on all day/night through all my tears/sweat/sun, and I looked so glowy and perfect. The touch up kit she gave us individually was also so handy. I’m a little uncomfortable to post my face on google, but check out her instagram, and she does people of all skin tones (honestly a huge requirement for me when I was choosing a MUA). All in all 100/10!"

-Catherine Ligad from Los Angeles, CA

"I hired Denise for my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She communicated with me every step of the way. She got to my house early and started right away. She gave me skin care tips the night before to ensure my face was prepped for her the next day which was great because after the products she used
made my skin feel silky smooth. She was super friendly, and used high quality products. She also have me tips on how to keep my face looking great for the rest of the day. If you're looking for someone reliable, with unmatched talent and affordable pricing she is the one for you. I will be recommending her to everyone!"

-Sara from Orange County, CA
