Maria did a great job on my make up and hair for an event at the De Young Museum couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy that I have found her. I showed her an image of make up from Marc Jacobs spring 09 fashion show as an inspiration for my make up and she was able to create a great look for me. Since the event was on a Monday night most of the hair salons were closed in the city and Maria saved me by creating a youthful and chic updo.  She even brought me a nice tray of fruits and crackers. I am definitely going back to her for many more occasions!

Maria is the best! She did my make-up and my mom's for my wedding. We both received so many compliments. My mom was particularly impressed because she was afraid of looking "unnatural". Maria listened to both of our requests intently and produced excellent results. My make-up also lasted all evening. All of her suggestions were right on and she did an amazing job. On top of that she has a very nice, easy-going attitude which helps with nervous brides! I do not have a single complaint. For the record, my mom and I are both Caucasian.

Great Makeup artist. Did my mother-in-law, my wife and sister.  Worth the trouble to fly her from California to Florida for our wedding. Worked well with the hair stylists and the photographers I had hired....

Maria is an eyebrow jedi. She is a talented and friendly artist, and my mom thinks the world of her.

Maria is an exceptionally talented makeup artist!
She did the makeup for my wedding and made me feel and look like a super model! A real treat.
1) Maria is super nice and her energy and personality are very "zen".

Something I found precious during such a stressful/joyful event in my life.

2) She is extremely flexible accommodating logistics/arrangements: my home, her place, travelling to Napa in my case.
3) Maria works with all leading cosmetic/make up houses, so she picks and blends the best products of each of them.
4) She is a very good listener and knows how to recreate extremely well the look you may have in mind.
Last tip: try her smokey eyes + fake eyelashes. You will not regret it.

Maria came highly recommended by my wedding photographer. She was flexible with both the time and location; she came to our apartment the following day (after I telephoned her) for the trial.  She did a thorough consultation; we decided on smoky eyes and natural lips. My actual wedding was the following day, she met me at the hotel lobby downtown on time and exceeded all my expectations when she had brought some confetti (a British tradition to have at the wedding) with her, it was the only thing I'd forgotten to buy and couldn't find anywhere in SF at the last minute! To me, this showed that she really cares, it is something I will never forget!

I thoroughly recommend Maria for weddings or other special events.    I was very happy with the make-over and also her service, she is very experienced in the application, product knowledge, the amount of products she has available to use and giving advice; she also had a calming personality which was exactly what I needed the morning of our wedding. I have since recommended her to my friend Inma, who was also very happy. We have both decided that we will be treating ourselves to another Maria makeover next time we have a special function to attend.

Thank you again Maria and we look forward to working with you soon!

Maria is an awesome make-up artist. She did my Halloween costume for the past two years. The first time she turned me into an old man.. which was pretty creepy. And the last time she turned me into teen wolf.. which was a damn good job. She also helps maintain my out-of-control eyebrows without making me look feminine. 
I respect her as an artist, and I appreciate her great service. I will definitely go to her for my Halloween costume next year...
