I loved Anna!! She did my make up for my wedding for a very reasonable price, and you really feel like she can connect with you. She gets you, understands what you need, and super duper friendly.It felt like I've already known her forever when we first met. She's amazing, she's great at what she does, and she's a pro make up artist. I just let her do her thang and I listened to her suggestion and advise, and bwala!!

I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding and with my mediocre make up skills, I knew I had to find someone to do my make up and hair for me. I had contacted multiple make up artists in the area, but surprisingly not too many wanted my business I guess because I got only one other response. Anna, on the other hand, was quick to respond. I was quoted around $300 from a different make up artist just for the bridesmaid make up! This doesn't include hair or the lashes. Wtf? Anna, on the other hand, had such reasonable prices for what she does! Luckily, Anna was available for the day that I needed her.Anna arrived to my house to do my make up right on time. She was super nice, very personable, great at communicating and letting me inspect her work as she applied make up to my face. She was great at asking me what I wanted and making sure that I was happy with her work every step of the way. She even gave me some make up application tips as well as introduced me to some new products. I also loved the fact that when I asked her for her opinion, she was honest about what she thought looked good instead of being one of those make up artists that tell you what you want to hear and not be honest with you. She is also a perfectionist and notices the small details which I totally appreciate since she made sure to go back and fix my liner. Oh, and she's awesome at applying lashes just once and gets it right the first time! Who the hell does that?? When I try to put on lashes, I usually look like I have a lazy eye.If you want a make up artist who is professional, great at communicating, has amazing skills, and is very affordable, Anna is the person to go to! You won't regret it!

I knew I wanted my make up done for my maternity shoot. I had heard that one of my friend's sister did makeup. I got her info and contacted booked her. She came to my house and I asked her if she could do my hair too. Anna is friendly and makes you feel comfortable. I am not a makeup person and she was very attentive on making sure she was getting the look I wanted. She even started giving me a play by play on what she was doing. Answered all my questions. I loved the way she made me look. She really listened to what I told her. I was so happy with her work that I asked her if she could do my makeup and hair for my baby shower. I knew I would be too tired and stressed to do my own makeup. She came back for my baby shower and exceeded my expectations again. Anna is such a fun person and genuinely sweet. Her work is amazing!!!

Anna is absolutely the best! I am a designer and needed her at the last minute for fashion show because I had nobody to help me with make up. (Literally five days before the show) She was able to do eight models including myself within a few hours and all my models loved her. I am so glad that Anna was able to make my models feel glamorous! She is professional and knows what she is doing! She took the time out to discuss exactly what I wanted so that she came prepared the day of the show. I have already booked her to work my next fashion show in Hollywood and I'm super excited! Love her!!!Taj Ambar

I had a great experience working with Anna. I was coming into town for the weekend and needed someone who was available to do a test run in addition to doing my makeup the day of (while not breaking the bank). Thankfully Anna was able to do both! The test run took a couple of hours, which was totally fine because Anna wanted to make sure that I loved the final look. She was very kind, easy to talk to, and made sure to describe everything she was doing. The day of the event my skin was not cooperating at all, and although I started going into panic mode, Anna was able to fix what needed to be fixed in time for the event. The final makeup looked great, lasted all night, and I received loads of complements. I would recommend her services to anyone and wish her the best with her business!

Anna did my makeup for my engagement photo shoot trial. She was very professional and detail oriented. She arrived on time and was very friendly. She really listened to what I wanted and also gave suggestions on what she thought worked with my features. I really appreciated her explaining what she was doing step by step and what types of products she was using on me. She uses high quality products and brushes. She has a light touch but quick hand while applying makeup. It has taken other make up artists quite some time to apply lashes on me, so I was very impressed when Anna applied them with ease. Due to a scheduling conflict, Anna did not do my makeup for my actual engagement photo session. She did such an amazing job on my trial that I wish she did my makeup for the photo session, too! If I ever need another make up artist, Anna will be the first person I call.

This review is better late than never. We hired Anna to do my best friends wedding makeup and hair. Which we added a trail for the bride, two bridemaids makeup and one bridemaids hair. She is super talented and very sweet. It was like a long time friend came over and we were immediately comfertable with her. She knew what she was doing, explained every step and process. Was very tasteful in the way she applied the contour and brows. Really followed direction well and tailored each look, specifically for our individual tastes and preferences. You can tell she is a professional and really knows what she is doing. A huge difference from doing it yourself. Do yourself a favor, hire her for your special occasions. It will take the stress away and assure that you look and feel your best.

So, when I recently came down to visit back in January for the iMATS LA convention and had Anna do my makeup. She made me look exotic and fierce! I love how she did the cut crease on my eyes with a dark and bold vampy lip! My skin looked flawless! Anna is an amazing makeup artist! She is steady and light with her hands. She takes extreme care of her clients. Anna is all about her clients wants and needs. She is there to hear what look you want her to create and she gives her opinions with her personal flair she feels that will work best for you. She likes to work up close and personal. Anna has awesome hygiene and is very clean. We all want a makeup artist that is clean and that smells good right ladies and gents? Definitely! I recommend all San Diego and Southern California people to give her a ring! Especially if you're visiting her area and you're from out of town, definitely give Anna a call! It's a must to book her! She's the best at what she does and definitely has the niche for it! :) I give Anna 5 stars!

Anna came to me and asked if she can use my face as a model to showcase her makeup application. I was totally down to help out my friend and to get pampered by her. But not only was I pampered, I was educated on how to apply makeup on my face. She showed me how to contour my face and it turned out amazing! Mind you I have high cheek bones, and a small nose bridge so I thought contouring would be impossible. She took her time explaining where my eye brow line should stop when I'm filling them in, what color shade my foundation should be, where to apply my blush correctly and everything. She let me choose what eye color shadow, lip stick, lashes, blush that I wanted. She also suggested which color would look best based on my complexion. I loved the session we had. She made me feel comfortable and she definitely knows what she's doing. I highly recommend her if you're looking to book a makeup artist for any event. And she comes to you! She's absolutely amazing. I love you girl!
