Pin-Ups Makeup Artistry

I have known Alice for over 11 years now and can't say enough about her as a make-up artist, vendor and business woman. Let me start by saying that I am a former fashion editor for a daily newspaper (the Contra Costa Times to be exact.) I also worked for various fashion and bridal magazines in the Bay Area. I have worked with dozens of make-up artists over the years, creating fashion spreads for magazines and getting references for product reviews and no one has been more efficient, courteous or professional than Alice Sawdey. I have even worked with the likes of Bobbi Brown and the creators of Benefit and she is on par with these ground-breaking creative artists. She has even done my make-up for publicity photos (I have the samples to prove it!) and in one instance drove for miles to help me at the last minute when a booked vendor cancelled. If I ever need make-up for television appearances or if I get married or know of anyone in need of a make-up artist for a wedding, she will be the first and ONLY person I call. And you should too!

What a GREAT experience and wonderful job! I hired Alice, Pin-Ups Makeup, as s gift for my best friend's wedding. Not only did we all look beautiful but we had a very enjoyable and unforgettable time.

We had our initial rehersal appointment and the makeup turned out so great that Michelle, the bride, and I had to go out to dinner with our loved ones so that we could show off our pretty faces.

At the wedding Alice not only did our make-up but enhanced the atmosphere with her great personality and charm. There were four of us ladies in the wedding along with two flower girls and she made all of us glow. In fact, this was an early evening wedding and our make-up looked perfect ALL NIGHT!!

Alice was always prompt, responsive and professional every step of the way and as you know a wedding day is extremely important, especially to the bride, so be sure to check her out - WE LOVED HER!!!!

amazing work!! i was so happy on my wedding day!! i never felt so beautiful than i did on our day!

Alice was FABULOUS!!! I cannot imagine my day being more beautiful. I found Alice by referral from another friend/bride of mine. She did my makeup for her wedding when I was a bridesmaid and I loved it! I loved it even more the day of my wedding (we went more dramatic look and she totally understood what I wanted:).

Also - she was FUN! So many of the other makeup artists can be sort of snobbish. Alice was energetic, positive and friendly (even to my mother-in-law who, bless her heart, is afraid of makeup).

All in all it was a fantastic experience. She is coming back this year to be the makeup artist for yet another one of my friends getting married in September.

I'll be sure to have my friend review her at that time, too. I was shocked to read the review below and have since discussed it with Alice. She explained the whole situation to me, which is what prompted me to write this review today. In my experience, she is AWESOME.
