more about lil

"As soon as Lily arrived for the trial, I knew she would be perfect for my wedding. Her energy was so calming, and she was so willing to work with me to bring my vision to life. She truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and pampered on my big day. Everyone complimented me and the wedding party on how beautiful they looked."

Megan M., Wedding
"Lily is a phenomenal make up artist! She is so kind and willing to discuss anything you're concerned about. I made some slight changes from my trial which was no issue for her! I also struggle with eczema and had no issues with skin irritation! My make up didn't budge all day and night, I was sad to take it off! Lily is such a pleasure to work with, I truly felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day. I was very adamant that I wanted to feel and look like myself, just elevated. Lily completely understood the assignment and made me feel like an absolute princess, and made it fun (which helped the nerves a lot!)."

Ariana M., Wedding
"Lily was amazing! She was easy to schedule with, followed up often and her makeup looked effortless and natural! She was receptive to different inspo photos and made each of my bridal party and myself custom makeup looks that were perfect for all of us and our features. She can do anything and her aura/vibe were so calming for my wedding day!"

Ashley G., Wedding
"Where do I even begin to express my gratitude for Lily? From the moment I walked into her studio, I knew I was in wonderful hands. Lily didn't just transform my look, she elevated my confidence to new heights!"

Paola P., Personalized Makeup Lesson
"This is your sign to book her!! Lily is insanely talented. I’ve had the privilege of getting my makeup done by her on multiple occasions and honestly no one does it better. She’s extremely attentive, listens to your needs and concerns, and makes you feel like a literal goddess. Her work honestly speaks for itself but wow I’ve never felt prettier. And it LASTS!! I got my makeup done on the hottest day in June, did a shoot, then played pickleball in literal 98 degree heat and that makeup stayed put. Amazing. If I could give her 10 stars I would."

Anastasia M., Multiple Special Occasions
"Lily was absolutely perfect! I trusted her to make me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day and she did just that. She prepped my skin, explained products, and asked specific questions to make sure I had the perfect look for that day. 10/10 would recommend. Plus she is extremely personable making it incredibly easy to talk to while getting your makeup done."
