Testimonials
"From the first time I spoke to Mercedes on the phone I knew she was the makeup artist for me. I could tell she was experienced and passionate about her craft. After my first trial I decided I wanted to change a few elements of my makeup and Mercedes was nothing but accommodating and helpful. She walked me through what would work best for me and we found the perfect look. Although in the last month leading up to the wedding I felt a little frantic she made me feel comfortable and secure in the look we had chosen and I knew going into the wedding that my makeup would be perfect. On the day of your wedding a huge concern is falling behind on time and being late; Mercedes arrived early and kept perfect timelines for the bridal party. Mercedes actually finished well ahead of schedule leaving me time to relax and enjoy time with my bridesmaids before the big moment. Mercedes maintained excellent professionalism while engaging with myself and the bridal party like we were all old friends. I have nothing but praise for Mercedes and will be calling her in the future for any and all makeup needs."
Catherine Polletta
"Mercedes did an amazing job at making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She did exactly what I asked for and made it more beautiful than I even imaged it being. My mom saw my makeup that Mercedes did with a trial run and my mom decided she wanted her makeup done as well. She did a wonderful job on my mother and she was very pleased with it and felt beautiful. She also gave me a little gift of the shade lip stick and gloss that we used on the wedding day. I use it almost everyday now. I will definitely be using Mercedes again in the future."
Camberlyn Centeno
"For my wedding look, I had big dreams like most brides about the way I would look. Mercedes exceeded every idea I had in mind. She was attentive to my needs as a bride, but also cared for my bridesmaids with the utmost precision. With the many varying opinions and wants of all the women in my bridal party, Mercedes tactfully appeased each person, while making me (the bride) feel special/unique. The entire makeup process was low stress and ultimately relaxing. I think overall the best merit beyond her skills was her attentiveness to touch-ups after pictures and other wedding activities. My makeup remained flawless the entire evening with only the occasional lip application. Her product was incredibly durable (it was a hot day in May). My bridal party and I received numerous compliments on our makeup, which only added to my pleasure with her work. My bridesmaid commented that they have never felt more beautiful and I felt the same way about myself. Her prices were great for the quality of talent. I would use Mercedes again and strongly recommend her for any important event."

"Mercedes is an incredibly talented makeup artist that is perfect for all occasions. I have been a loyal client of hers since 2008 and will continue to ONLY book her whenever I need my makeup done. She has an amazing ability to bring out the best features of each person she works with. Her superb color and technique not only enhanced all my features, but complimented my skin tone. No matter what look I am going for, she executes my makeup perfectly every time. I recently hired Mercedes for my wedding and what I appreciated the most is that she took her time asking questions and understanding my style and what I wanted. She gave me several options for my day of makeup, all of which I loved, and helped me decide on the final look. On my wedding day, she was very professional and calming, I was the least nervous while in her makeup chair because I knew I was in great hands. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and my gorgeous pictures are a true testament of how talented Mercedes really is!"
Amanda Munoz
"I wish I could do it all over again, from the moment Mercedes arrived at my in-laws home everything was very easy going and extremely professional! She really listened to exactly what I wanted as well as my 3 bridesmaids, very clean work! I highly recommend her, and look forward to having my makeup done by her sometime in the near future! Thank you for making me feel more beautiful on this very special occasion, it was absolutely amazing!"
Avanti Whittaker
"Where do I even begin to compliment this amazing human being. I met Mercedes when she worked for the MAC store, I became a frequent customer and so I got to know all the girls but since Mercedes was always up at the desk, she was the one I would consistently see and created a friendship through every time I went to the MAC store. Every time she does my makeup, I feel confident, sexy and refreshed. I never knew makeup could look so flawless.
I got engaged and knew exactly who I was going to have to do my makeup, Mercedes. I had tattoos on my back that I wanted cover that were not small either, and she worked around the clock finding different techniques on how to cover it, and through all the trial and error she did, she finally got the perfect formula, I could never repay her for how hard she worked, and pushed to get it right for me.
Mercedes has always been the sweetest person I know, and continues to care for each person she works her magic on. She's reliable, responsible and takes pride in her work. On my wedding day, she made me absolutely flawless, my back, my face, everything. She even combined two lashes together to get those long beautiful lashes. I am so thankful Mercedes is in my life, and I have gotten to bond with her through every makeup session and I am truly blessed to have met her."

"I have to say that my wedding day was perfect. It has been six and a half years and I still get overwhelmed with joy when I think about it. I look so amazing in all my photos thanks to Mercedes. She made me look natural, but glamorous. I also have a bright green frog tattoo on my left shoulder that I didn't want to show and she made it completely disappear. I was in amazement that there were no signs of my frog on my wedding day. Mercedes not only did exactly what I asked, but she did it with true professionalism. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. I would highly recommend her!"
Laura Peterson
"I first met Mercedes at Mac store when I needed to get my makeup done for an event. She did such an amazing job that two years later, she was my first choice for my wedding day. She did an absolutely phenomenal job, after working with me through a trial-run (which I was able to schedule the same day as my rehearsal dinner) - we came up with the perfect look. She came to my hotel early in the morning of my wedding day to take care of my makeup, along with 12 ladies from my wedding party. Initially we were supposed to be 9 ppl all together having our makeup done, but since Mercedes did such an amazing job there were a few last-minute requests. Because I knew I was in good hands, I was able to relax that morning and soak it all in - I can't tell you how priceless it is to put yourself in a professional's hands, and let them do the heavy lifting! It is worth every penny - and your photos will turn out beautifully."
Fay Zia Fleming
"Mercedes, Thank you for being so absolutely amazing on my wedding day! The makeup turned out beautiful and everything ran perfectly on time! Everyone's makeup stayed fabulously for the whole day and I couldn't of asked for anything more! Thank you so much!"

"You were amazing Mercedes and you are truly talented from one artist to another. I had so much fun at my wedding. How you saw me while I was getting ready was my mood for the day/ night!! I'm referring all my brides to you by the way."

"Mercedes has done my makeup twice now and I will continue to use her whenever I need to have my makeup done. She did the makeup on my wedding day and she made me feel like a princess. The whole process was wonderful- from the first meeting, the trial, to the day of. She really, really listened to what I wanted/ didn't want. She did my makeup for a second time, when I was a bridesmaid. Once again, I was 100% satisfied. The subtle changes that she made to ensure that the bride would be the most dramatic but the bridesmaids still looked amazing is what sets her apart from other makeup artists."
Mary Springer
"Mercedes gave me exactly what I wanted to feel on my wedding day... and that was to feel absolutely beautiful! Every bride deserves that and Mercedes gave it to me."
Cynthia and Richard Ward Jr.
"I truly enjoyed having Mercedes do the makeup for my wedding. She is very professional, reliable and most important- talented! She not only did my makeup, but that of my bridesmaids, Mother and Mother-in-law. We all looked fabulous because of her! She was able to tailor the makeup application to each of my bridesmaids' tastes - from natural looking, to a more dramatic look. At my consultation/ trail with her, I enjoyed being able to try different makeup looks before settling on the perfect one for me. She really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I didn't have to worry about touching up or changing my makeup throughout that very long day - it looked great from beginning to end! I would recommend her services to any friend or family member who is getting married, or going to an important event. I have already sent a friend to her for her wedding makeup, and will continue to do so!"

"Thank you so much for making me a beautiful bride. My makeup that day was gorgeous and it was due to your time, input, and creative ability. Even 4 years later I am still singing your praises!"
