I was searching for someone to make my mother, my bridal party and me beautiful on my wedding day. I googled make-up artists and Makeovers by Ligia was the first on a list of many.
I sent an email to Ligia inquiring into her availability (I was getting married over Columbus Day weekend), her rates, and setting up a consultation. She got back to me within 24 hours and we had set up a consultation.
At the consultation she inquired into my skin type, any allergies I had to products, and what my thoughts were for wedding make-up. She suggested an airbrush application and I was all for it. The consultation lasted about an hour and when she was through I was blown away. My face looked flawless and I LOVED my make-up. I booked Ligia that day.
Ligia will come to you the day of your wedding. She sets up her chair and she transforms every person that sits in that chair. The morning of my wedding, I watched as my bridesmaids and my mother stepped into and out of her chair. Everyone was smiling and admiring themselves in the mirror. When it was my turn to step out of the chair, I was amazed by how glamorous I looked and felt. I could not stop admiring how beautiful I looked. I could not have found a better make-up artist.
Ligia is a professional. Her rates are reasonable and she will come to you. Every person at our wedding commented on how beautiful I looked, and those who only saw photographs, said the same.

Ligia was absolutely wonderful. My make-up was flawless and exactly how I wanted it. Ligia listened to everything I requested and made it happen. She accentuated the features I wanted all while making it look very natural. So many of my guests made comments about my make-up. It was well worth it. Ligia worked quickly and efficiently, offering her input on colors that work best for your skin tone, and making each and every person look their very best. I would highly recommend using her for your wedding day or special occasion.

Ligia did an amazing job on my makeup and my bridesmaids'/mother's makeup. I received many compliments on my makeup and it still looked great at the end of the night (a very hot night in July at that!). I cannot recommend Ligia enough. I recently received my professional wedding photos and I am so pleased with how I look in them thanks to Ligia. I know my bridesmaid and Mom feel the same way!

Ligia truly is an incredible artist!! She did airbrush makeup for myself, 5 of my bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law for my July 2011 wedding.
All our makeup looked amazing and so so beautiful and STILL looked perfect after our outdoor ceremony in the blazing July SUN! She arrived on time and had no problem with the lengthy schedule of having to do airbrush makeup on 8 people. I would highly recommend Ligia to anyone considering having their makeup professionally done for their wedding and I also HIGHLY recommend you to try the airbrush makeup! My bridesmaids and I constantly joke how we would LOVE the have our makeup done by Ligia every day!! She is amazing.

Ligia did my makeup for my wedding and I can't tell you how many compliments I got. She makes you look flawless without looking overdone and she doesn't stop until everything is perfect, even at my trial she took her time and made sure everything was perfect. She's knowledgeable about which colors/shades look good with what skin type. She was able to get everyone done in time and was willing to travel to NH to help us get ready. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that was looking for a makeup artist for their upcoming wedding! Thank you Ligia!

I can't speak highly enough about Ligia and the wonderful makeup she did for my May, 2011 wedding. Ligia did the makeup for myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. I told Ligia we wanted to look like ourselves on a good day and that's exactly what she did. At my trial she took notes and was able to recreate it perfectly 6 weeks later. I heard so many compliments about not only my makeup but all of the makeup she did. She arrived on time and stuck to a lengthy schedule having to do 6 people. She was lovely to have around during the day.

Ligia did a wonderful job with the make-up for myself (the bride) as well as my mother and two sisters. In the pictures the make-up for all of us looked very natural. She listened to me and my make-up concerns and how I wanted to feel like myself but with make-up (none of us wear a lot of make-up). After the trial, I wasn't sure if I wanted false eye lashes because they felt heavy on my eye. For the wedding she did half lashes, which felt more comfortable to me, and people standing three feet in front of me couldn't tell I had fake eyelashes on! I also loved the airbrushing. It was much more comfortable, lighter, and had a smooth, natural looking finish. My sister loved it so much she decided to do it as well. Thanks, Ligia! :)
GUEST




I was so happy with Ligia's artistry! I had been sick for a week before my wedding and felt anything but pretty. Ligia made me feel so beautiful that I forgot about my cold and not having a voice for my wedding. She is very professional and organized but also so down to earth and put my mom and sister, who were nervous about having their make-up done, totally at ease. And to top off my wonderful experience with Ligia, my husband told me that his favorite part of the wedding was how beautiful I looked... he keeps asking if I can have that eye make-up done again!
GUEST




It was an absolute pleasure working with Ligia and I couldn't have been happier. She always responded to emails almost immediately and was prompt the day-of and came with a chair and all of her make-up. The end result was PERFECT. I felt beautiful and confident but still felt like me. Oh and all of the compliments from others didn't hurt either :) Any questions or concerns she confidently answered or addressed -She made sure I comfortable with everything she was doing. She also did my mom and sister (who is a lot younger - 16!) and did a great job making sure it was age appropriate. I would recommend her over and over again. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Ligia!

We were very pleased with the makeup and hairstyling provided by Ligia and Ann. There was six of us and services were taylored to our needs, from my 24 year old daughter to my 86 year old mother. They arrived at our location right on time and stayed until I was ready to walk down the aisle. We all looked natural and the need for touch ups was minimal. With another wedding coming up in June '11, we have already booked their services.
GUEST




Honestly, my makeup was beautiful! I may be biased, but honestly she made me feel amazing. Ligia treated all my bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom with the utmost respect. She let everyone have the spotlight and made everyone look spectacular. Best part of all, she listened to our requests, and the makeup stayed on all day long. I'd say over 12 hours. Started at 9am and the party didn't end until after midnight. I woke up the next morning and my makeup still looked flawless and my eyelashes didn't budge! She is reasonably priced for all bridesmaids and mother of the brides. The bride pays a bit extra due to travel costs, but she comes to you. No fuss and we were all done on time! The makeup is flawless and I also recommend airbrush. It's the way to go, doesn't feel like you have anything on but yet gives you coverage!
And if you need a recommendation on updo's. Ann Walsh is recommended by Ligia - Phenomenal!!! She was amazing and both very professional (again very reasonable in price for updo's I've paid more as a bridesmaid than I did as a bride and my hair looked out of this world!)
I recommend both, you won't be disappointed!!! I hope this is helpful!

I would HIGHLY recommend Ligia!! I'm someone who doesn't like having my makeup done because it usually feels so heavy and I feel like a clown. When I told Ligia I wanted a very natural look for my wedding, she was the only makeup artist who actually listened and delivered the look I was looking for. I received compliments on my makeup all day long. My bridesmaids, mom, and aunt were all equally pleased with there makeup. Ligia is amazing!!

I hired Ligia to do my wedding makeup for my June 6th wedding and I cannot express how happy I was with her work. I was very wary of hiring someone to do my makeup since I'm don't wear much makeup normally. I am SO glad that I came around and decided to leave it up to a professional for one day of my life. Ligia came to my hotel room the day of my wedding, brought all her own supplies (makeup, a directors chair, accessories, etc), and transformed me into a beautiful bride!!! I was truly impressed at her skill and artistry. She knew exactly what colors to use on me and everything looked soft, natural, and beautiful. She even added a few lash extensions which looked amazing! All of my friends commented on the makeup job and demanded Ligia's contact info!! The pictures came back and they look perfect. The makeup and lash extensions made me look live a movie star for the day and I can't thank her enough!!! Ligia is a true professional and I would recommend her to anyone.
GUEST




Ligia is an ultimate professional and was able to work magic with my makeup. Thanks you!
GUEST




Ligia's work is absolutely amazing! I have never felt SO beautiful! My entire wedding party was completely thrilled with her work and she can really create any look you desire. I decided to be a bit more bold and had very dramatic eyes, my aunt on the other hand wanted something very natural and subtle. She did both looks fabulously! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!!!
GUEST




Ligia did a tremendous job for our wedding. I was very concerned about hiring someone to do my makeup because I never wear any and I wanted to look like myself, not like a different person/doll. Everything about Ligia put me at ease.
The day of the wedding she arrived early, got everything set up, and just blended in with everything that was going on. She got along great with me and my bridesmaids, she was a very calming presence, and she made all of us absolutely gorgeous.
GUEST




Having Ligia do my makeup was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. It was a fun, relaxing experience that was worth every penny. My attendants also had their makeup done by Ligia and they couldn't have been happier...and the proof is in the wedding photos!!!
GUEST




Ligia was WONDERFUL! i loved my make up she did on the day of the wedding, she made me look stunning! i loved her service, she was right on time and she was really pleasent and professional. i'd definitely reccommend her to anyone who is looking for a really good, professional and honest make up artist!
GUEST




It was a pleasure to work with Ligia for my wedding. She was so willing to listen to what I wanted and made sure we tried various looks until I found something I was happy with. She listened to my concerns and addressed them with confidence and skill. She was able to address the needs of my multicultural bridal party and everyone came out looking great! She was a real find and I totally recommend her if you are looking for someone who is calm, professional, and top-notch.
GUEST




Ligia was a pleasure to work with. She did a wonderful job listening to the look I was hoping for and would be comfortable with - as someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, this was very important to me. She was friendly and relaxed, making it a calm wedding morning for all of us. Hiring a makeup artist to come to your site is never inexpensive, but Ligia is competitively priced, and for us, not having the stress of getting to and from a salon was well worth the price. Everyone, including my mother who usually wears no makeup, was happy with their makeup. I have already recommended Ligia to a number of friend.

I hired Ligia to do my wedding makeup on October 22, 2011. I want to say that she did an excellent job on me, my mother, and my mother-n-law. I have so many compliments about my makeup that day! I cannot express how much I am thankful for her to do my makeup. We had a tight schedule and she was able to deliver the task on time! I had the airbrush done on me and let me tell you, it lasted........all day and night. I didnt even need any touchups except lip gloss here and there. I loved the way she did my brows and eye make-up. Ligia is super nice and she listens to you. I love her work and her honesty. She knows her work and she admires every little stroke of brush on your face! Thanks Ligia for making me sooo pretty on my big day! =)
GUEST




Ligia's work was flawless and amazing. She made my 60+ year old mother and mother-in-law look just as beautiful as my 25 year old bridesmaids, and even covered my emergency back zits flawlessly and quickly, saving the day yet again. She helped me find the right kind of eyelashes to make me beautiful and even created eyebrows for my mom! My wedding day went beautifully in no small part due to her beautiful work.
GUEST




I chose Ligia as my makeup artist for my May 2011 wedding, because I saw that she did a great job with Asian faces. On the day of the wedding, my maids and I (and our moms) were blown away by how great we looked after she applied our makeup. Perhaps the best looking day of our lives. :) She came super early, and was a joy to work with. Her hair partner Anne is also incredible...so so good at what she does and wonderfully warm. If at all possible, you must book Ann, too!!

I am the assistant to a wedding planner who recently worked with Ligia, and I'm sorry to say we were both very disappointed with her service. On the way to deliver the bouquets to the bridal party we received a call from Ligia informing us that she would be late to do the girls' makeup. At this point, she was already considerably late and did not specify what time she would actually arrive. By the time the wedding planner and I arrived to deliver the flowers, Ligia had still not arrived. The bride was very gracious about the situation, but was obviously (and understandably) unhappy with this kind of unprofessionalism. The wedding planner and I spent a good 30-40 minutes frantically calling every makeup artist we knew who could fit the bride's needs. Finally, we were able to find a backup. It was not until 2 hours after Ligia was suppose to arrive that she actually came to do the girl's makeup, with the help of the other makeup artist who we had sent as a backup. Had it not been for the additional makeup artist we had sent, the entire day's schedule would have been thrown off. Ligia was unapologetic about the situation, and did not seem to fully understand the seriousness of the impact her tardiness had on the bride's day. Needless to say, we do not plan to work with Ligia again.
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ligia on our photo shoot at the Charles Hotel. She did a fantastic job with our models. Absolutely stunning! I highly recommend Ligia to any brides for their special day and always looking forward to working with her again!
Pleasant, and very professional people I know.
Seams has had the pleasure of having Ligia make up our Models now for a Fashion Show and a Photo Shoot and we highly reccomend her! Professional, Gorgeous work, and so nice to be around during a stressful day.
