Elin was great to work with the response to my initial email and all my emails after that were promptly answered. Scheduling was easy and the lesson I got was great. Plus she had all the products she used on me for sale so I did not have to run around afterwards looking for anything. I would definitely use her again.

I reached out to Elin for make-up lessons. I am 50 and have never worn much make-up. My son is getting married soon and I want to do my make-up for the wedding. Elin took a few minutes to understand my goals and came up with a brilliant plan. She taught me all the tips and tricks I would need for an everyday look and also how to glam up a bit more on wedding day. Prior to the lesson, I watched YouTube videos and instagram to try to figure this out and felt overwhelmed. Elin was able to recommend colors and brands, and brushes while also maintaining my minimalist, natural approach to makeup. The brands that she uses/recommends are much more economical than Sephora, Ulta, or department stores. Her instruction style was kind, honest and effective. She gave rationale for all of her instructions and I left the lesson feeling empowered and confident. Thank you Elin!

I had the absolute pleasure of having my makeup done for a military ball, and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. Elin truly listened to what I wanted, and enhanced my features in a way that felt natural and elegant. I still look like me, just a better more confident version. The makeup photographed beautifully, last all evening, and felt comfortable the entire night. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calming presence made getting ready even more special. I would highly recommend Elin to anyone looking for flawless, timeless makeup for an important event.

Elin did my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding on October 25th. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. The experience itself was amazing. She had a fantastic setup with very calming background music, she is very kind and the atmosphere along with her calming presence helped soothe my wedding nerves. My hair and makeup turned out better than I ever could have expected. With her help I felt more beautiful than I ever have on my wedding day. Incredibly talented artist on so many levels. HIGHLY recommend. So grateful to have found her.

Elin was recommended by a friend for wedding makeup, and I was so lucky to have been recommended the best person! Elin is a comforting presence in the chair and has a lot of experience. I preferred a more natural look and Elin nailed that! I was worried I would not find someone who was experienced with Asian facial features, but I was very happy with my wedding day look. She also took my thoughts/questions from the trial and provided recommendations for the day-of look that addressed any areas of concern
