I Got Your Pretty

Maria is an excellent makeup artist. She has an eye for detail and makes you feel very comfortable. I also work as a makeup artist and am very picky. I’m happy to say that Maria is a dedicated professional and her work speaks for itself! Highly recommend!

Maria is a very talented artist! I felt very comfortable and at ease with her right away. My hair and makeup lasted all day, which is incredible because my hair really won’t hold a curl when I curl it myself. She really knows how to highlight a person’s best features and I left her chair feeling beautiful, natural, and not overdone.

Maria and her sister Rachelle made me and my girls look so beautiful for my wedding! They came all the way to Tahoe to provide the service and were fun and conversational with my group. Everyone loved them. On top of that, the make up was flawless (and hair!). Maria has the magic touch and I’m so grateful because I felt gorgeous all day long.

Beauty by Maria simply put: It’s as good as it gets!
I had the pleasure of meeting Maria at my niece’s wedding reception. She is CrAzY talented and she did such an amazing job. She really listened to the bride and her makeup was absolutely flawless. She has a wonderful disposition and she is just as congenial as she is professional. I would recommend Maria to anyone!
I’m excited to be working with Maria again on a joint wedding project this year. And when it is all said and done, I expect to write and you can expect read another fabulous, updated review!

I’ve used Maria’s services for years now. She’s also done my best-friend’s make-​up for her wedding, as well as almost all of the bridesmaids. She’s done mine and my sister’s make-​up for my own wedding. And I call her up anytime I just need to look good. She’s a very caring person, and does your make-​up how YOU want it done, unless it’s just ridiculous, then she’ll give you her professional opinion. Let’s face it, most of us THINK we know what we want, until it’s done, then we realize that look wasn’t for our face-​shape, skin-​type, or over-​all tone of our face & hair. Unless it’s for Halloween. She has a natural talent for make-​up, and also has professional experience under MAC. She comes to you and stays on top of the latest beauty gadgets — like airbrushed foundation — yes, she has an airbrush machine!!! The best thing ever, in my opinion. It’s so light, like you’re not even wearing make-​up, and great, even coverage. Anyway, I can go on and on. If you give Maria less than 5 stars, then you’ve lost your mind and you either like your make-​up like a porn star (and unless you are a porn star, it’s not a look for you), or you have no concept of what really looks good on you, and for that I suggest Unilocaling a therapist in your area because you obviously have a skewed perception of yourself stemming from insecurity issues.

Beauty by Maria is top notch.
Maria has helped me with my make up for corporate functions, a professional head shot and most recently for a recognition event. I am amazed at her choice of beautiful palettes and her tools for her trade is both impressive and extensive.
Maria inspires excellence as she makes you look good; and with good laughs, she makes you feel good.
