“My wedding planner gave me a list of recommended makeup artists, and after seeing Olivia’s makeup portfolio, she was the only makeup artist I wanted for my wedding day. Olivia has perfected the art of enhancing natural beauty through makeup. Olivia is a great listener, patient, and will walk you through every step of the makeup process. She wants everyone that sits in her chair to feel absolutely beautiful. And trust me, you will! My wedding makeup was everything I could hope for. I looked myself but “elevated”. My bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law all felt the same. They still rave about Olivia a year later! Brides, Olivia will be one of the best wedding vendors you book!”

-Erin C.

“If you are looking for someone to do your makeup, look no further. I booked Olivia for my summer wedding. When we set up my first makeup trial, she took the time to look at my inspiration and asked all of the right questions leading up to the session. I loved my makeup so much, that she was able to squeeze me in to do my makeup for the rehearsal dinner as well! She is organized, attentive, detail-oriented, and she was so calm on a day that felt overwhelming due to the weather and the number of people we had to get ready! I truly felt like Olivia was a friend that I have known forever. She made me feel so comfortable, beautiful, and confident on my wedding weekend. All of my bridesmaids and my stepmother were so happy with their makeup. Olivia even went above and beyond and sent an email to the wedding party, reminding them of tips leading up to the wedding to make sure their makeup would look flawless. I cannot refer Olivia enough- if she is available book her right away since her schedule will fill up!

Olivia, thank you again for making me feel so beautiful my entire wedding weekend.”

-Charlotte C.

“Olivia is a genius. I wanted simple, elegant makeup for my wedding earlier this month and found her work so beautiful - I knew we had to work together! After a wonderful consult and later makeup trial, I felt so at ease and ready to look beautiful on my big day. She helped give guidance on forming the hair and makeup schedule, which worked perfectly. The morning of the wedding, she provided such a calm, measured presence, it helped me feel even keel and peaceful. My makeup turned out FLAWLESSLY, and lasted all night. My friends and family’s makeup was also perfect! What a special, beautiful human! Highly recommend working with Olivia.”

-Jenna C.

“I cannot say enough good things about Olivia. She did my wedding makeup as well as my bridesmaids and mother's, and made everyone feel absolutely their best! Olivia has such a warm and calming presence, perfect for wedding day nerves! She made me feel so comfortable and really listened to what I wanted and what made me feel my best. It was a lovely collaborative experience. I could not recommend her enough. I felt amazing on my wedding day in large part to her care and attention. She is a wonderful person and a really talented artist.”

-Kaleigh F.

“Since the moment I saw myself after my preview session with Olivia I knew she was the one to go with. She not only listened to me but she also made the best suggestions. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! As someone who doesn’t love to be the center of attention she made me feel so confident during my wedding day. She also did such a great job with my wedding party and family. Everyone raved! She is great with waxing as well, and I haven’t found anyone to do my eyebrows as good as her. Olivia is such a talent! I will miss seeing her!”

-Ilana E.

“Finding a makeup artist that you can trust to care about your special day as much as you do is hard. Let me tell you when I say Olivia cares, she really CARES! So detailed oriented and listens to your every word. She’s very gracious and attentive and makes you feel as if you’ve known each other forever. Plus she has mad skills :) If you want to book someone with the most heart and talent you can find, look no further. She will make you look and feel exactly as you should on your big day. Her passion and professionalism shine through her work.”

-Erikka D.

“I went back and forth on hiring a professional makeup artist for my vow renewal and I am SO glad I trusted Olivia! She is not only talented, she is a calming presence and really takes the time to make sure you look exactly how you want. She listened to all of my makeup concerns and left me feeling so beautiful and confident. I didn’t lose any essence of myself and have never felt so comfortable in photos! I can’t recommend her enough.”

-Anna D.

“I have had the privilege of Olivia doing my make-up on three separate occasions now, and each and every time, I am absolutely blown away by her talent, professionalism, and ability to make me feel so comfortable and at ease. I typically do not wear a lot of make-up, and was so fearful that I wouldn’t find someone who understood that when looking for a wedding make-up artist. But Olivia‘s whole demeanor and aesthetic could not have been more spot on with what I was looking for. We did my trial make-up, and I was over the moon with the results. The look was delicate and beautiful while staying true to who I am. I absolutely loved that Olivia put so much thought and energy into the look. It was a very collaborative process and she was so open and honest. The entire experience felt so easy and natural. The day of my wedding, Olivia was a calming presence and ensured that my make-up was exactly how I envisioned it. She is hands-down one of the most caring and compassionate professionals I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. I was thrilled when the opportunity arose to have her do my make-up for some professional head shots, and I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to do a private make up course with her in the near future. If you have the opportunity to hire Olivia to do your make up for any occasion, I cannot recommend her enough. I look forward to utilizing Olivia’s services for many years to come.”

-Courtney F.

“Olivia was the makeup artist for my wedding and engagement photos, and she was an absolute pro and the best person to work with. Weddings are stressful, but Olivia is super on top of things, organized, and communicative. You never have to chase her down for anything or worry about anything related to your makeup- she’s there, and she’s got you! We all looked unbelievable for the wedding, both in person and in the pictures. I wanted to look like a more elevated version of myself, and that’s exactly what I got. She is also an absolutely lovely person- your makeup artist is a big part of your wedding day, and you want to surround yourself with positive, calm, helpful people. That is exactly who Olivia is!”

-Emily M.

"Olivia is an amazing makeup artist! I knew from her Instagram that everyone looked beautiful, but I felt it firsthand when she did my makeup on my wedding day. Everything, from how she uses luxury brand products to her attention to detail in creating my wedding makeup vision, was perfect. She made the look last for hours while keeping it super natural. She even gave helpful tips and tricks on how to prep your skin prior to the big day! I would highly recommend her to others. Olivia, thank you for making me, my bridesmaids, and my family look beautiful!"

-Jessi C.

“Olivia is an absolute DREAM to work with. Not only was she amazing as a fellow vendor for one of my bride’s weddings (she nailed the makeup), I then hired her to do my makeup for my own family session. She is so kind and warm and thoughtful. She really cares deeply about what you want from your experience and LISTENS. She’s one of my favorite makeup artists to ever work with and I refer her to all my couples. You will LOVE HER.”

-Melissa N.

“I did a makeup lesson with Olivia, and I am absolutely floored by her talent- not only in doing makeup but also in teaching it. She’s easy to be around, incredibly knowledgeable, and has a wealth of experience. At 35 years old, I finally feel confident and excited to do my own makeup and take better care of my skin! She recommended products specific to my skin type, coloring, skin tone, and eye color, and took the time to teach me techniques and placement. She provided constructive feedback and demonstrated everything. She even scheduled two follow-up Zoom sessions to address my questions and clarify things after I had some time to practice. Olivia truly cares about her clients and their success. Save yourself hundreds of hours watching YouTube and thousands of dollars on products that don’t work for you- get yourself a lesson with Olivia. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her. It was THE best investment!”

-Lindsey R.

“I can't say enough to express how grateful I am to have worked with Olivia. She did my makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding day, and truly went above and beyond for both! She listens to what you like and takes all the inspo photos you send her into account when she's creating your dream look. Olivia has an amazing way of making you feel comfortable right away and gives you the opportunity to truly be honest about what you like and don't like through every phase of the makeup application. She is AMAZING at what she does and made me feel my absolute best for my engagement photos and even more so on my wedding day. She is organized, attentive, and calm through all the craziness of a wedding morning. She not only made me feel gorgeous, but her and her colleague made my mom, grandma and 9 bridesmaids look amazing as well. I never had any doubts with Olivia and I knew she would handle my makeup and my loved ones makeup with care. She is so detail oriented and truly makes you look like the best version of yourself without you feeling like the "true" you is lost in makeup. Olivia is the best makeup artist I have ever worked with and I highly recommend her!”

-Lauren D.

“Where to begin! Working with Olivia was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. She begins by getting to know you, your vision for the day, and how you want to feel. And if you're not an expert with makeup, these types of questions help inform the look you want for a big event while also calming your nerves.

Every product that Olivia used during my trial immediately ended up in my Sephora cart -- she knew exactly how to achieve the effortless, still me-but elevated effect. She's incredibly talented, a calming presence with family members, and just an all around delight. I'd recommend working with her to anyone.”

-Emily D.

“There are not enough stars in the world to adequately capture just how amazing Olivia is. She is a true artist and knows exactly how to turn your vision for your bridal beauty into a reality. Further, her calm demeanor, amazing sense of humor, and conversation skills mean that anyone lucky enough to sit in her chair spends their time giggling and relaxing - this is key for jitters the morning of the wedding. Olivia made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself - sophisticated, a little sexy. She and her team made each of my bridesmaids, our junior bridesmaids, and our mothers feel so beautiful. Many saying it's the best makeup they've ever had done.

Lastly, Olivia was an amazing resource for me throughout the wedding planning process. She is thorough, professional, and very easy to communicate with. She connected me to my incredible hair stylist and florist, all who worked together to make the most stunning day. I am so delighted to recommend Olivia, and I hope you all have the chance to work with her for your bridal needs!”

-Rebecca S.

“If you are reading this because you are looking for a make-up artist, Olivia is your girl! I am so lucky to have found her for our wedding day. During the wedding planning process, I realized that it's not just the service that matters, but also the person behind the service. Not only is Olivia talented, she is also super responsive and professional and has the kindest soul--The very person you can trust to help you feel your best on your beautiful day free of stress! Our wedding turned into a last minute hiking elopement. And I actually reached out to her just 1 month before our big day, but her warm and caring personality has made me feel like I knew her even longer! I am so glad I did the bridal preview as well. I loved her process of helping me figure out my bridal look-soft and natural. She was so thorough and took the time to really listen to what I wanted. It was easy talking to Olivia-like talking to a long time friend, even though I only talked to her a handful of times over the phone before meeting her in person-and describing to her what I wanted, even with my limited make-up vocabulary. The added bonus was that Olivia was more than a makeup artist to me throughout! With her patience, encouragement, knowing exactly the right moments to ask how I was feeling, she truly was an amazing confidant. So I can say, Olivia: during our getting ready session, you made me feel beautiful both inside & out on my big day! My heart was calm and content and my hair and makeup was on point! Just also wanted to mention that my make-up held up even through the sweat, drizzly weather, and taking our mask on and off (pandemic times for future brides reading this when this has been a thing of the past lol) during our hike. Thank you for all that you have done! The day was magical and I felt like magic! I will surely reach out in the future. Thank you, Olivia!”

-Dolly V.

“I was planning to wait to write this review until I received some of my wedding photos back to share with it, but then I realized - Olivia is too fantastic and phenomenal to not sing her praises immediately. From the moment I met Olivia for my wedding make-up trial, I immediately felt like I had known her my whole life. Olivia has such grace, poise, elegance, and a presence about her that you instantly feel at ease. She listens wholeheartedly and is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. You may be asking yourself, "what do character traits have to do with her skills as a make up artist?" My answer: everything. Olivia puts such thought and carefulness into her work as an artist and ensures that her clients are completely satisfied. She is extremely knowledgeable about the products and is always willing to take the time to educate you. I can honestly say that I have never felt prettier than when Olivia did my make-up for my wedding. Almost every compliment I received that day revolved around my beautiful, glowing skin and how natural it looked. I am not the kind of girl who wears a lot of make-up so I was hesitant in finding a wedding make-up artist that could truly capture who I am and would not turn me into someone or something I did not want to be. So from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you, Olivia, for being such an integral part of my wedding day. You truly are an incredible artist and wonderful person!”

-Courtney P.

“Olivia is nothing short of amazing! I've been blessed by her talent a handful of times now, have used her for a photoshoot for our business & highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional & insanely gifted makeup artist.

From the start of booking her communication is clear & concise, to the day of with her professional, warm demeanor and ability to perform high quality services in great time. The makeup she has done for me could easily last ALL DAY & made me feel like a perfectly enhanced version of myself. Olivia uses only the best products in her kit & everyone in our bridal group was so happy with her work!

I would recommend her again & again as she is consistent and incredible at what she does! BOOK FAST because she gets scheduled out quite far & for good reason, she's the best!”

-Stefanie F.

“Olivia was recommended to me by my wedding photographer, and I am so lucky I got to work with her! From the first intro call, I could tell how attentive to detail Olivia is and how much she wants to create the makeup look you're envisioning. After our call, Olivia sent a list of detailed photos and information to help her perfect the look. I did a preview session, and she absolutely nailed it! It was also a great opportunity to meet her before my wedding day, and we had great conversation the whole time. Then comes wedding day! Hours before getting married, I was definitely a little on edge. Sitting with Olivia while she did my makeup was almost meditative- she was so calm, helpful, and helped me relax. If you have an opportunity to work with Olivia, do it!”

-Heidi H.

“Olivia did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid a few years ago (and I loved it!) and when we decided to get married in wine country, I knew I would be calling her again. Not only does Olivia provide an exceptional client experience, she is the most genuine and sweet person to work with. I was planning my wedding for the third time due to COVID, cancelling and postponing and was on a tight timeline to put together a new plan. Olivia offered vendor recommendations and I ended up booking 4 people she referred me to! She is truly the reason why my wedding turned out how it did.

In terms of her makeup, Olivia listens to exactly what you want and offers input based on skin type, dress, and hair color to make you feel as beautiful as possible. I hope I have reasons to work with Olivia again. She is timely with communication, professional and so easy going it put me at complete ease working with her during such a stressful time!”

-Megan P.

“Olivia was the first vendor I hired for my wedding, and I actually partially chose my wedding date based on her availability! I knew that her effortless, natural, gorgeous approach to makeup and her one-of-a-kind personality were exactly what I'd want on my wedding day. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

I want to start with Olivia's personality. She is one of the kindest people I know, and has such an incredibly big and generous heart. She's easy going but so hard working (such a rare combo!), is a good listener, and is fun to talk to. (And I say that as the type of person who dreads going to get my hair cut/nails done/etc. because I feel nervous about having to make conversation with the stylist!) These values of kindness, good communication, and hard work are at the heart of Olivia's business and mean that she was a joy to work with from the moment I signed a contract with her through my wedding day. She was always willing to recommend another vendor (and helped me find my hair stylist!) or answer questions; she was easy to schedule and communicate with; she was clear and responsive about what she could or couldn't do; and she was just a pleasure to work with from start to finish. That meant that on my wedding day I could just relax and be myself around her, which was such a gift.

Just as importantly, Olivia is an incredibly talented makeup artist. I don't wear a lot of makeup day to day, and had awful skin for decades, so I was nervous about having a bunch of heavy makeup on my picky skin and really just wanted to look and feel like myself. Olivia helped me zero in on the look I wanted and then we tried it out in two preview sessions; she was especially attentive to what type of foundation would work well without irritating my skin. At first, I thought booking two sessions was sort of unnecessary, but it actually ended up being crucial -even though I loved what we'd done in the first session and thought I was set on that look, Olivia encouraged me to try different things for creativity's sake, and that led to us finding what ended up actually being my wedding look! I couldn't have been happier with how my makeup turned out on the day of the wedding; I just felt so gorgeous and comfortable all day.

Olivia also worked her magic on my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law too. In that group of six people, there was a very wide range of skin tones, ages, and situations -my MOH was about 8 weeks postpartum; my mom is in her 70s; one of bridesmaids is a redhead and another is Black -and she handled each one flawlessly. Everyone looked like the most beautiful version of themselves!

If I had to plan my wedding all over again, I'd still hire Olivia in a heartbeat, and I recommend her to everyone!”

-Lindsey S.

“Do yourself a favor and hire Olivia Garvin for all your wedding (or non-wedding) make-up needs. After years of great eyebrows (she also offers waxing services), Olivia was the first vendor I hired for my wedding. I already knew how professional, kind, and detailed-oriented she was, but y'all, she is an ARTIST. After many less than stellar experiences with prior make-up artists as a bridesmaid, she made me feel like an ethereal woodland fairy bride. My make-up was PERFECTION. I'm usually not one to want to take photos/brag about looks, but I was STRUTTING all day thanks to her talent. She also made my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids feel super pretty and we were all smiling for the 100s of photos that day. Furthermore, not only is she an extremely skilled make-up artist, but she also has a very calming aura which was VERY helpful when I was feeling like an anxiety nutcase the morning of the wedding. Lastly, thanks to the network she has built and her impressive professionalism, it was through her that I found my venue, hair stylist and wedding planner - all of which were A+ recommendations. Treat yo' self and hire Olivia!”

-Lauren M.

“Olivia did my bridal shower, boudoir and wedding day makeup and I could not have been happier with her work. She was sweet, professional and listened closely to the look I was going for. We trialed my wedding make up on the day of my shower and she made sure to check in with me throughout the entire day to make sure I was still happy with everything. For my boudoir, we went with a much sexier look that was perfect for the shoot. Olivia is an absolute pro and I cannot speak more highly of her and her craft. She was also great with my family and friends, instantly connecting with my mom, my sister and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. They all LOVED their make up. Olivia will make you feel like a goddess on your special day. I can't wait to work with her again!”

-Heather R.

“Olivia has been a friend of mine for the past 5 years and although she is an incredibly talented and wonderful makeup artists - the thing that shines most about her is her kind soul. She is the perfect person to have onsite at your wedding - she is calm, kind, thoughtful, and will make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself, both inside and out. There is no style of makeup she can't do, but what I love most about her talent is her ability to take who you are and what you look like and elevate it beyond your own abilities. Each person who sat in her chair came away feeling beautiful and excited to celebrate the day - I can't emphasize enough how big of an impact this was on the entire wedding! Plus, we ended up staying on the dance floor until 4am and I still looked as fresh and put together as I did when I left her chair at 12pm! If you book Olivia for your wedding, I know you will have this same experience & will be here after, singing her praises. Thank you thank you thank you for your incredible work!!”

-Danielle S.

“Olivia is a dream to work with. She really felt like my partner and friend on my wedding day. I was so thrilled with my entire make up look. I felt like the best, most beautiful version of myself. From the initial bridal make up trial, Olivia was detailed, thorough and patient. She was super communicative for every step of the process. I appreciated that she explained what step she was doing, how she does it, she asked so many questions on what I liked or thought about what she was doing, and she was open to trying anything I had in mind. But most importantly, I love that she gave me her honest opinion and guidance on things that would flatter my facial features. Her agreements and costs are fair, she's so flexible in working with your needs, and her second makeup artist was also amazing. She is so intentional and takes great care for all of her services. My bridesmaids, mother and mother in law were all so pleased with their makeup looks. Olivia, thank you for making me feel like a glowing, radiant bride on my wedding day!”

-Kathleen S.

“On our wedding day I felt elevated, beautiful, and confident and I owe so much of this to Olivia. I normally don't wear much makeup, so at my trial run I didn't have a lot of direction or specifics for Olivia. She did a great job of asking me specific questions and slowly adding more dimension and layers to see what I was comfortable with. After the trial we both felt something wasn't quite right, but I again could not pinpoint what it was. Olivia sent me product recommendations to try on my own and also had a lengthy phone conversation with me to fine tune our plan for the big day. I went in to the wedding day confident in our plan and the results were even better than I expected. My look was me, not too much, but elevated and elegant. Thank you Olivia for being such a great part of the wedding day.”

-Jessica M.

“Olivia is...professionalism, kindness, talent, grace, punctual and everything a bride - or anyone could ever dream of in a makeup artist. I consider myself SO lucky to have had her do my makeup at my wedding, as well as my bridal party and family.

She has this indescribable calmness about her, she makes you feel at home - and so good in your own skin. She made my special day so easy, and I felt beautiful and cared for, because I was in her hands.

Olivia deserves ALL the accolades. THANK YOU Olivia! For all that you do and have done for me. I appreciate you so very much.”

Laura P.

“If you're looking for someone to make you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day, stop looking and book Olivia immediately! Not only is Olivia one of the most talented makeup artists I have ever worked with, she is also the sweetest and kindest! From the very moment I reached out to Olivia, I knew it was the most perfect match. She took the time to talk on the phone with me and ask me questions that really helped her get to know me, which is very important when doing someone's makeup on their wedding day. I truly appreciated her approach and I have never felt more beautiful (inside and out) than on the 2 days Olivia worked with me. She made me look and feel my best, all while barely putting a lot of makeup on me. She told me right away that she didn't like using a lot of product which I was so grateful for because I don't want to look back on my wedding day and regret wearing too much makeup. It was the perfect amount and I just really felt like I was in the best hands possible. I was so comfortable, so at ease, so relaxed, not rushed and just felt more beautiful than ever. Olivia, you are SO talented, so kind, so lovely, and I am so grateful to have worked with you. Thank you for everything...I hope others are lucky enough to find you and work with you too! Big hugs!”

-Mackenzie B.

“This is far too late, but I had to share the absolute excellence that is Olivia Garvin. I had the happiest accident when Olivia ended up being the makeup artist for a boudoir shoot I did last spring. She made me look like the most incredible version of myself. She was lovely and kind and made me feel so comfortable! Cut to May when my wedding makeup artist canceled on me 48 hours before my wedding. I frantically reached out to everyone, and the unicorn that is Olivia, answered right away. She immediately calmed my nerves when she confirmed that she would be able to accommodate me. She literally saved my entire wedding, and again, made me feel so beautiful! She listened to exactly what I wanted and fit seamlessly into my day. She also ended up doing the makeup for my officiant and my mother, both who raved about how talented she is and how gorgeous they both felt. I wish I had written this sooner, but but late than never. Olivia is professional, sweet, and so gifted! Please consider her for all your makeup needs!”

-Chelsea S.

“Olivia is so amazing to work with! She made me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day! I wanted to look beautiful but still natural and she totally understood the assignment! During out trial she was very detail-oriented and made a point to ask a lot of questions to figure out the best look and would guide me when I was indecisive. On the day of, she was such a warm calming presence and a joy to be around! I didn't have a wedding party, but my mom and mother-in-law loved their looks. I was so thankful I had her stay for touch-ups because it unexpectedly rained on my wedding day! Highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

-Marisa R.

“Olivia is such a pleasure and joy to be around, especially during what could potentially be a "stressful" time -planning your dream wedding. Prior to hiring Olivia as my makeup artist for our wedding day, I was an esthetician client of hers. We connected the first time we met and developed a friendship over the year. Olivia shared about her makeup artist business and how much she loved being with brides on their special day. When my fiancé and I set our wedding date, I immediately reached out to Olivia to see if she'd be willing and available to do our makeup, and luckily for us, she was!

Aside from Olivia's warm and gentle spirit, her work demeanor is professional, clear, and flexible to ensure her clients are beyond satisfied. Olivia offers a makeup preview session to explore a bride's vision of what to look like on the "big day". I found the process very comfortable, easy, and natural for Olivia because she listens to your needs, takes detailed notes, and frequently checks-in to see if her work is as you envision.

Olivia's studio is cozy, elegant, and full of natural light, which is ideal in seeing your beautiful self shine. She's also a huge pet lover, like myself, and welcomed my Pomapoo to accompany me during the makeup preview.

On our wedding day, Olivia arrived early and made getting ready a breeze and fun with her sweet personality, thoughtful conversations, and calming vibes. She also went above and beyond by doing makeup for 9 ladies, stayed ahead of schedule. She's beyond generous with her time, talent, and love! All of my bridesmaid's and mom enjoyed getting to know her, and felt like they'd known her forever, which was exactly the vibe I wanted that day. Olivia's attention to detail, patience, and creative eye truly makes her unique and one-of-a-kind, and I strongly suggest hiring her for any event.”

-Ursula M.

“Olivia is amazing. She was recommended to me by my wedding planner, and I cannot imagine a more perfect makeup artist for us. First and foremost, Olivia has an incredibly calming presence. She is attentive and kind and graceful in a way that made the whole experience of getting ready feel even more special. She is also INCREDIBLE at what she does. I had a hard time articulating exactly what I wanted-I wanted to look elevated, but I didn't want to look like I was wearing a ton of makeup. I had no idea how I felt about eyeshadow or eyeliner or lipstick. Notwithstanding my inability to describe my preferences, Olivia gave me exactly what I wanted. She made me feel so beautiful without feeling like I looked like a different person. Same goes for my bridesmaids. My first thought in seeing each of them was "They look really beautiful" and not "Their makeup looks really beautiful." And because Olivia was just accentuating what already made each person so beautiful, everyone continued to look amazing even as we partied late into the night. I cannot recommend Olivia highly enough!”

-Mairead D.

“I had such an amazing experience working with Olivia when she provided makeup for my wedding. I heard about Olivia through a friend who worked with Olivia at her own wedding. She came with such great reviews, I was intrigued to check out her work. If you haven't seen her Instagram yet, check it out- she's extraordinarily talented.

I am not at all a beauty-focused girl. I'm also disabled due to low vision, so I really don't experiment with many beauty products, or even have a good grasp on different styles or looks. Olivia was patient and understanding and helped me identify the features I wanted most, and checked in often to make sure I was completely comfortable and satisfied.

Olivia is organized, professional, and kind. I attended a preview session at her home, which was a delightful way to get to know her outside the pressured day-of wedding. She even insisted on driving me to the train after, a sign of her compassion and generosity! I had so much fun the night of the preview gushing over my makeup with friends- it was stunning!

I come from a fairly messy family and had a lot of personalities involved with my wedding day, so understandably was a bit nervous for how the day would unfold. Olivia fit right in and connected with friends and family easily. To this day, my mom gushes about how Olivia was INCREDIBLE! But actually, Olivia was one of her highlights of my wedding weekend.

Clearly, I can't say enough good things and strongly recommend you consider hiring Olivia for your makeup needs!”

-Jennifer P.

“Praise the heavens for Olivia! Our wedding was in January, during covid, but working with Olivia was a dream, especially considering the circumstances. From the first interaction to the last, Olivia was professional, kind, patient, and a joy to work with. When I first reached out to her she was quick to respond with the details of her services. We did a consultation appointment for a trial makeup for the wedding day. It was so fun. I highly recommend the consultation appointment. It also made the day of the wedding very relaxing because I knew what to expect. Although I loved my makeup on the trial run, we tweaked a few things the day of the wedding as we realized what tones would fit the mood of the wedding a bit better. Our wedding was in Mendocino. Olivia met me at the venue for the big day. We finished with plenty of time for me to finish getting ready and relax a little before the ceremony. With both appointments, she made me feel so comfortable. She checked in after each step, making sure I was happy with everything. I just can't recommend her enough. With covid, I really considered doing my own makeup, but I am so so so happy I found Olivia. There is no way I could have created the photo perfect look that she was able to. I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt. Thank you a million times over, Olivia!”

-Ariel N.

“Olivia is amazing! She recently did my makeup for my wedding day as well as my bridesmaids and we couldn't have been happier. She was professional, warm and supportive - all qualities I was looking for in a makeup artist for my big day. As someone who doesn't normally wear a ton of makeup and has never enjoyed having my makeup done, Olivia listened and made me feel completely comfortable. I wanted a natural, but elevated look and she absolutely delivered. I highly recommend Olivia and would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Olivia!”

-Brittany H.

“Olivia was SO special to work with on the day of my wedding and the months leading up to it. From our very first phone call to the morning of my trial and the wedding day, she was such a calming presence. Everyone in the getting ready room felt so comfortable working with her. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made us all feel so gorgeous.

I don't wear a lot of makeup, which makes me a little picky when someone else is doing mine, but I could not have imagined a softer, more romantic, perfect look than what she created for me. Some of my bridesmaids (and my mom!) wanted a little more glam, which she also did expertly. Olivia even gave my grandma a little eyeliner--which was perfect, and she loved it! Her prices are incredibly reasonable and she thinks of everything you might need over the course of your wedding day, like touch-ups after your first look and your own tube of lipstick to use throughout the night. Couldn't ask for a sweeter person and better makeup artist to have with me on my wedding day. If I've ever got another event to go to or an excuse to go back to Olivia, I 100% will!”

“Makeup isn't really my thing and I'll be the first to admit that. It was actually the number one thing that stressed me out about my wedding day. I've personally always felt overdone in a full face of makeup.

Enter Olivia! Olivia completely eased my worries and listened to my vision of minimal makeup while still recommending things to accentuate my natural features. I honestly felt like the most beautiful version of myself the day of my wedding! My makeup lasted all day and my pictures turned out beautifully. My favorite thing Olivia does is her individual eyelash application. They are such a game changer! There's nothing worse than the feeling of having heavy strip false eyelashes. Olivia applies them individually so that they look natural and feel lightweight. By the end of the night I honestly forgot I even had them on!

It's obvious that Olivia loves her job! She is so sweet and personable and her enthusiasm is unmatched. She truly wants you to look and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself!!”

“What a fantastic experience, admittedly I have no business doing make-up, and was smart enough to seek the help of a great professional to get me prepped for my wedding. Olivia is responsive and detail oriented to the extent she ensured my makeup was exactly what I was looking for during the preview, checking in to make sure it was still lasting later in the day. On the wedding day during our first look my husband said something to the tune of "I'm glad you look like you, but even hotter" in reference to the perfect balance of make-up from Olivia to look great in photos but not too different from my normal "mascara only" self.

Highly recommended working with Olivia (if you can get a spot in what I'm sure is a quickly filling schedule!) and I'll be coming back to Olivia for all my make-up needs and questions!”

“Olivia is a gem. She's as sweet as they come, extremely professional and talented, and she listens. She did wedding makeup for myself and my bridesmaids, and I could not have been happier with my makeup on one of the most memorable days of my life.  
It is clear that it is very important to her that your vision is realized, and she is so great at communicating, and figuring out what you want- even if you're having trouble putting it into words. When she is done, you will look and feel beautiful, and you will still look like yourself. She also went above and beyond,  working hard to find an additional artist after I panicked because we had such a large group that needed makeup. You cannot go wrong with booking Olivia!”

“I did about 8 makeup trials for my wedding and mostly all of them did an okay job but I wasn't getting exactly what I was envisioning. Olivia was the last trial and I told her what I wanted and showed her my Pinterest board pics for makeup ideas.  She looked at what I wanted and did exactly that.  I was so excited and so lucky to have found her.  She is worth every penny and more. I had so many compliments about my makeup - even from guys at my wedding.  I felt amazing.  About a year after the wedding, I asked if she would give me makeup lessons and we met up for that, too.  Since then my skills have improved dramatically.  I definitely feel confident about my makeup now.  I highly recommend her.”

“I've known Olivia since about June of 2016, and I knew she was a trained makeup artist so as soon as I got engaged, I asked her for a trial. I was blown away! Not only did she pay close attention to what I was looking to achieve, but she also gave me great tips and pointers. I ended up loving my trial makeup but wanted a few small changes for the big day. She was extremely welcoming of my points and kept on telling me that all she wanted was for me to be happy. When my wedding day rolled around, she arrive on time and with the most cheery disposition and positive attitude. She expertly made her way through my bridal party, starting with my mother and mother-in-law. Both are in their 60s and the makeup she did on them was flawless. They looked radiant, and not overdone (which is quite tricky to achieve especially on older women). Both ladies loved their makeup. My bridesmaids also looked absolutely stunning, and Olivia even did a little bit of makeup on my 5yr old flower girl. Each time, she worked with each girls complexion and colouring to compliment their own look. When she finally got to me, she was patient, caring, and just a dream to work with. She didn't allow me to see the work in progress because she wanted me to be surprised. Let me tell you that when she gave me the mirror for final ok, I was so crazy in love happy! I looked natural, radiant, effortless - even the hubs complimented on the makeup! All in all, Olivia is amazing. I will definitely come to her over and over again, and keep on recommending her to other women. Brides- do yourself a favor and call Olivia!
PS: she has a great personality and will quickly become your friend :) Love you O!”

“I had my wedding makeup done by Olivia and I absolutely LOVED my experience from start to finish! It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my makeup and Olivia went above & beyond! She was so kind, patient and attentive during the entire process. When we set up my first makeup trial, she really took the time to study inspo photos so that we could achieve the exact look I wanted for my wedding day. She even offered to do a second trial on the day of my rehearsal dinner so that we could really dial in the final look! On the day of the wedding, she single-handedly did makeup for my 6 bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and officiant. She was so on top of things that we were ahead of schedule! She had such a calming & joyful presence which made each person feel so at ease and comfortable. Working with her was such a dream and the best decision I ever made! Thank you, Olivia, for being such a special part of my big day! I will never stop recommending you to any and all who are getting married! xo”

“Olivia did the makeup for my entire wedding party. She captured exactly the look I was after. I felt amazing for my big day, and all of my bridesmaids looked incredible. She has an excellent eye for detail and is a pro at creating looks that will photograph flawlessly, but also look great in person. Her calm demeanor and professionalism is a beam of calm light in what can be a chaotic day. I would choose her again and again.”

“Olivia is an absolute angel. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, Olivia was kind and patient, explaining everything step by step, while giving me guidance when I was unsure. She checked in often during my bridal preview to make sure I was happy, and made me feel comfortable to speak up if I wanted something adjusted. She's easy to talk to, responsive, and just an all around pleasant gal to be around. The day of my wedding, I was so incredibly happy with the way my makeup turned out. I've never felt more beautiful. She also did the bridesmaids makeup, and the mother of the groom and everyone looked stunning. I can't say enough good things about Olivia. She's a true artist.”

-Brittney S.

“Olivia did my bridal makeup for my big day, as well as doing makeup for my mother and two of my closest friends. She did an amazing job of bringing out the best in all of us while making us look natural and not overly made up. I have honestly never felt prettier. In addition to her makeup skills, she is a consummate professional to work with.”

-Jasmine A.

“Olivia was incredible to work with! As someone who doesn't typically wear a lot of makeup, she was patient with me and helped me find the perfect look for my wedding day. She helped give me advice on the best products for me, as well as helped teach me some makeup techniques. In addition, she was always so professional, responsive, and even helped me find the rest of my hair and makeup team (who all did an amazing job!). I would highly recommend Olivia ten times over again! Thank you, Olivia, for making me feel like my best on one of the best days of my life! You are so wonderful not only at what you do, but at making me feel calm and special on my wedding day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
