Betsy was amazing. After much research on this website, I found that Betsy offered exactly what I needed. She was so patient and listened to all my requests. Since I had never had my make-up professionally done, I was a little hesitant.I didn't want to look clownish or not like myself. Fortunately, Betsy walked me through every step. She looked over all the pictures and color palettes I brought in and gave suggestions to what she thought would work best.

After the first trial run I was ecstatic. Everything looked great. The photos that she took after we were finished really gave me an idea of what I'd look like on the "big day." I loved the look, but my fiance had always mentioned how he would love to see me in a more dramatic look for our night wedding. Betsy was so open to changes she told me that I could return again and we could try something a little more dramatic. I returned a week later and loved the smoky eyes she did. She was so flexible and friendly it was like spending time with a friend. Betsy kept my make-up looking dramatic, yet fresh and light, perfect for a summer evening wedding. It photographed well and I received so many compliments.

The make-up lasted all night and didn't need any touch ups! Since I am prone to oily skin, I am usually running to the restroom for powder touch ups throughout the night. Because of this, Betsy purchased a special matte primer and WOW it really worked. I stayed on the dance floor all night and not one touch up was needed.

Betsy was very accessible. She e-mailed me often to see how I was doing and promptly returned all my e-mails. It is very rare in Los Angeles to find someone so professional and yet so down to earth. Betsy showed up early and stayed late and had a calming effect on the whole bridal party. Betsy is an amazing hair and makeup artist as well as being a terrific person. I can't thank her enough for making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day!
