Lilit’s Makeup Studio

I don’t know where to start. I had my make up done with Lilit and she did exactly what I had asked for! She is soooo talented! And the BEST make up artist in my opinion. Her work is just incredible. She is very professional and sweet!!! I absolutely love her. Everyone there is so welcoming and fun. I can go on and on forever. I definitely recommend this place. I would give it more stars if I could.

LOVEEEE Lilit and all of the current staff! They are so helpful and I really thought nobody could do makeup well on my face cause I have really big eyes and really messed up eyebrows, but she (Lilit) literally took 30 seconds and fixed my brows and knew exactly what to do with my eyeshadow/​liner to get the look I wanted. I will always go to them and only them. I also booked her for my wedding.

I had a wedding to go to and per all the great pics on instagram I decided to get my makeup done at this salon. I made my appointment with Angelica (known as Rebellemakeup on insta). I loved what I saw on her page, and her prices were very affordable. The salon is located in the very crowded part of Ventura, so beware parking is a major issue (I recommend just parking at the plaza about a block away). I walked in and was greeted right away by the friendly receptionist. Waited about 5 minutes before I was walked over to one of the makeup chairs.
The salon is absolutely gorgeous, decorated in crisp white, with very girly, feminine touches throughout the salon. The right-​hand side is a full salon and the left has about 10 makeup chairs aligned.
Angelica did an incredible job on my makeup! She took her time, I showed her a photo and I got exactly what I asked for. I could not be happier.
If you are looking to get hair and makeup done for an event, come to one place, get everything done at once and leave happy!

I’ve been coming to Lynette for my eyebrows for about two years now. I thank God everyday I found her!!! She’s the eyebrow guru! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my brows. She’s shaped and fixed them to perfection. She’s also super sweet and very accommodating when I need to switch or change an appointment. All appointments are booked on-​line and require a $ 10.00 deposit to reserve your spot. She charges $ 25.00 (and the 10 is subtracted from this amount… So you pay $ 15.00 when you go in) but I promise you, worth every penny. She doesn’t rush, she gets every hair, and she’s a perfectionist. She does a perfect job every single time. You won’t regret going to see Lynette! Only annoying thing about the studio is the parking… but if you go on a Sunday, you’ll be fine. Usually Sunday’s has ample parking! ;)

I wouldn’t recommend booking your appointments with this place. Poor customer service. Seems like they dont care about their customers, they just want to take your money and give you a hard time… Heres what happened.
I booked my makeup appointment with Lilit for my friends engagment party 3 months ahead of time to be safe. At the time i was working part time so the appointment that i picked was according to my schedule. I recently changed jobs (fulltime) and decided to contact their salon to ask if i can move my appointment time so that way i can go after work. I called and called for a week and no one answered. Finally i sent an email explaining everything and Suzy responded back saying that there was no later appointment available and there is nothing she can do. If i dont show up to my appointment i would lose my deposit ($ 75). I was very upset. I tried to explain myself and after going back and forth i just told her to cancel my appointment, clearly she wasnt going to change her answer.
A day before the event i got a text from Nazely confirming my appointment…
1. I cancelled a week ago with Suzy
2. Poor communication between staff
I explained what happened once again and she said that we can reschedule my appointment for another day so i dont lose my deposit. I was so happy to hear that she was trying to accommodate me. I told her i would call her back to give her some dates.
I get a call a couple days later saying that her «manager actually said they can’t reschedule the appointment» …so I lost my deposit.
What a waist of money… Very disappointing how they run their business. I understand they have policy but i wasnt trying to cancel or no show. I simply wanted to reschedule my time or date.

I set an appointment one year ago for my wedding makeup and a few months before my wedding I get a message from a girl named Christina saying they need to mail my deposit back so they didn’t even have the courtesy to tell my my appointment was cancelled and now that I’m trying to get my money back I’ve emailed, called, left several messages and nobody gets back to me. And now I have to find a makeup artist who will be available for my wedding. I’m seriously considering reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and also taking legal action to get my money back for services that were never provided, I had even included a tip ahead of time! This is really horrible customer service and illegal practices.

I recently went in and got my make up done with Angelica (ig: rebellemakeup). My cousin recommended for me to go by her and my cousin is a perfectionist so I knew I would like it.
I went in ten minutes early and she was already prepared. She say me down and I showed her what I wanted. She was probably once of the nicest people I had ever met. Angelica made my entire experience so pleasant because she was constantly talking to me and being so genuine.
What I loved most about her was the time she spent on my make up. I’ve gotten my make up done before and it usually takes them 20 minutes to scribble my make up on. Angelica took the full hour and even extended a bit because she was using such detail and did a perfect job.
Overall, Angelica was amazing and I can’t wait to go back and do my make up by her! She was so kind and sweet and I loved how professional she was.

Christina Yesayan is a talented and amazing hairstylist at Lilit’s MakeUp Studio. She has done my hair for some of my most important events. From birthdays, prom, winter formal, to my senior picture day. She always left me happier and happier every time I went by her. Christina is truly amazing and is such a sweetheart. I highly suggest everyone goes by her because of the amazing talent she has. I have no doubt that what ever I was to ever ask her to do to my hair, she would be able to do it. I thank her for all of the amazing work she has done not only for me but for her other customers as well.

I am really psycho when it comes to my eyebrows. I think most people are awful and am incredibly sensitive about maintaing thick, beautiful, even brows. When my long-​time eyebrow goddess moved out of the country, I was devastated. I bounced around from place to place, getting my brows botched and over-​tweezed and (gasp) even waxed once out of desperation. I was seriously losing hope. Then I found Lilit’s. I am obsessed with Lynette and Melody. They are both amazing. Note that I have not tried any one else at Lilit’s, nor have I received any other services here.

Love this salon. Convenient yet glamorous. All the makeup and hair stylists are great and especially @rebellemakeup!

Where do I start!!! Let me just throw a few words out there. AMAZING, FABULOUS, SWEET, HUMBLE, BEAUTIFUL, PROFESSIONAL, INFORMATIVE… I can go on and on but there really aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe how amazing this establishment is.
I took Lilit’s professional 1 week course and I have learned sooo much and I feel so confident and inspired that like I’m ready to take on my career and be amazing at it all thanks to this little lady called Lilit.
Thanks to everyone at the studio! Naz, Renita, Suzy, you guys are so cool! Your happy and smiling faces really made us all feel so welcome and comfortable!
Anna/​Anya, you make that big studio so warm with your kindness. I don’t think there is anyone on this planet that doesn’t just adore you. Thanks for all your help!
Marine, you’re just something else. You’re like that sister I didn’t know I have lol. You’re so funny and so helpful! You are definitely that studio’s charm! Thanks for everything!
Let’s get to the Queen now…
Lilit is LIFE. End of story.
But really, Lilit, you’re so amazing at what you do and I’m so happy I got to spend 5 whole days in your presence. Before actually meeting you, I was totally obsessed with you and your work. Now that I’ve met you I’m in love with everything you do! You really are a breath of fresh air and I’m very thankful for all you’ve taught me. You are my inspiration.
For anyone pursuing a career in makeup, PLEASE take this course you will not regret it.
For anyone depressed/​sad, PLEASE book an appointment with Lilit. She will totally change your life lol.

If you are considering taking Lilits 3 week professional course, take it! Before I had taken her October course i thought I knew everything there is to know about makeup, I was wrong. Lilit herself is an extremely humble person who is very friendly and very helpful. She’s an amazing makeup artist who’s very knowledgable and shares all of her knowledge with her students. The class is broken down to 3 weeks and within each week you learn something new starting off with basics and building yourself up. She provides you with a full kit that you get to keep, which is awesome and aside from teaching you all the basics of makeup, she makes her students feel confident in their work. I can truly say that I enjoyed every bit of this experience and feel so much more comfortable doing makeup with all the knowledge I have gained from taking this course. I came into the class not knowing what to expect and left feeling educated with positivity and motivation.

You will never have a bad experience booking any service at this salon. The atmosphere is light and friendly, not like those «other» salons, where it feels like you are packed in like sardines. I can’t even take seriously the negative review posted below. Is that a joke? Judging by her grammatical errors and run on sentences, maybe she has a few screws loose. She must if she said her makeup looked terrible. If she went by Lilit on her wedding day, she should consider herself lucky. I’ve gotten my makeup done by Angie and hair by almost everyone at the blow dry bar. They really take their time and make you look beautiful. Can’t wait for another event so I can return!

Today I had a blow dry appointment with Cynthia and I really liked her. She was very nice & she did a great job. Their staff are very friendly and salon is very beautiful.
Will go back for sure. Thank you Lilits makeup studio for a great experience.

My experience at Lilit’s Makeup Studio could not be any better! I had an event to go to this past weekend and both some of my family members and I came to the studio for full service glam. We got our hair and makeup done and both turned out better than we anticipated. All the girls are so sweet and professional and really take the time to make sure you are comfortable. We got the most amazing blowouts and the girls who work there for makeup are seriously talented! My winged eyeliner never looked better! Talk about wings!!! ;)
Thank you Lilit’s Makeup Studio for making my first experience so wonderful! Def will be back!

For anyone who’s reading this studios Unilocal reviews for booking reasons, here’s the black and white stuff:
1) Lilit’s one of the best makeup artists in the world. If you’re able to camp out like white people after thanksgiving waiting for a video game, it’ll be worth the wait. She’s one of few artists out there who are worth every penny, every minute, every mile you’ll drive to get to her. She has never done bad makeup. You will never look better than when she does your makeup.
*yelpers recommendation: she’s famous for her «smokey cat-​eye». She invented it, perfected it and teaches it.
2) Her 3 week professional course is so thorough and practical, I learned more about makeup in those 12 hours than I did in 1600 hours of cosmetology school. I think every aspiring makeup artist should take this course. The kit I received when I took this class (February 2013) is still the one I’m using — I’ve added and replaced a bunch of things as they ran out of course, but that’s how good it was. Every single item. You’ll learn such a wide range of looks also… everything from her signature cat eye look, to the no makeup makeup look, some fantasy looks, how to contour, what to do on brides, an arabic cut crease, etc. My only recommendation would be that you take this class after you have a bit of a foundation to begin with. I’m not saying you should go there once you have a solid client base. I’m just saying you should already know about makeup, about brushes, application etc. Because it’s a professional course. There were beginners in the class too, and they also enjoyed the class. But I feel like you’d get the most out of it if you already have a foundation.
3) parking is convenient, you can book appts online, and the studio is beautiful.
Now for the gushy stuff,
I don’t even know what to review her as… a mentor, a teacher, my makeup artist? I first went to Lilit when she was working from home years ago. I had my makeup done so many times, and had been so disappointed so many times, I thought part of the process of getting your makeup done, is cleaning most of it off and redoing it at home… then going to your event. She really changed makeup for me. I went to her for the first time when I wanted my makeup done for my bridal shower… I was amazed at the professionalism, humility, intellect, and most importantly TALENT that this girl had. I couldn’t stop talking about her. It was the first time I ever «followed a makeup artist». I looked at every photo she posted only to be amazed at this level of skill. It was to the point where I decided to forego law school and learn to do hair and makeup myself.
That’s when lilit went from makeup artist to teacher. I took a one day class, just to see what I was doing right ant wrong on myself. I was so intrigued and motivated, I kept practicing and analyzing everything she does. I eventually took her 3 week course which was the launch of my career as a makeup artist. I am now booked out every weekend for the next year because of the confidence her class gave me.
As a person and a professional, she’s remarkable. She’s also done an excellent job of filling up her studo with professionals who do a top notch job, so even if you don’t book with her — you’re good My favorites other than Lilit are Ello, Armine, Suzy and Remma. There are a bunch of amazing people I have yet to try, but those girls are solid.

I recently got my makeup done by Lilit for my cousins wedding, and all I can say is WOW! I was left speechless at how flawless and effortless my makeup looked! I asked for a dramatic yet not «over done» look, and Lilit totally nailed it! I couldn’t stop receiving compliments all night! I’m not quite sure what the review below is talking about, but my experience with Lilit and her studio was top notch! Thank you Lilit for making me feel beautiful! BTW– the new studio is GORGEOUS!

I had my makeup done by Lilit on the day of my wedding ! I Was nor satisfied and very disappointed! They have the worst customer service ever! Oh my God, I don’t even know where to begin! I’ve had my makeup done by Lilit on the day of my wedding! And you all know how important it is the makeup! I walked in 30mins sooner than my apartment! The Receptionist was so rude and disrespectful! I waited until my appointment time and guess what the receptionist started to prepare my skin! After 15 mins later Lilits sister came and started doing my eyes! I was like where is Lilit my appointment is with her! 30 mins late Lilit showed up! I was so pissed words couldn’t explain and still can’t! I booked airbrush bridal makeup! She just did a regular makeup very bad makeup I looked horrible on the day of my wedding seemed like I did my makeup in the bathroom in 5 mins I asked her to put some nice false lashes she ended up putting some natural stupid lashes that didn’t even looked like I had lashes on! Hrush is 100 times better than her probably that is why they don’t work together any longer! She became so popular in social media! Her work is not the same in real life! My advance to all the people around the world never ever book ur appointment with her on your special day! You will regret it! Another thing she became very snobby dnt know why! I spent more than 130k on my wedding but i cant even look at the pictures because of the makeup i had by lilit! I will never go back to her again never ever!

I had my makeup done by Lilit and hair by Dee. I couldn’t be more satisfied. Lilit is professional, and very friendly at the same time. She asked me what i wanted and delivered perfectly. She cares about how you feel the entire time. I have not seen a make up artist working with such detail. She takes her time and does her work precisely.
The same goes for Dee. She is so nice and styles your hair exactly the way you want. Friendly and professional. She spent more time on me that expected to create the perfect look.
I have never been ao happy with my hair and makeup.
Great customer service and friendly environment, you feel welcome here.
