Liz Dion Cosmetics

Wow I am actually pretty surprised at some of these negative reviews. I booked them after my original makeup artist cancelled with only two months notice. I freaked and was studying for the bar so had zero time to find someone else or do a trial. My sister found Liz and I’m so grateful she did. I booked her without a trial and I used them for my wedding in August 2013 and I really couldn’t have been more pleased. I LOVED my makeup and the bridesmaids of mine who opted in looked equally as flawless (not that they all didn’t). I didn’t use them for hair but it turns out they ended up hiring my hair girl (or so I heard) after my wedding because she did such a great job! They were on time and professional and kept to the timeline my wedding planner had set.

The Trial: When I did my consultation, I had a makeup artist and a hairstylist do my hair and makeup, Liz was there, but was not my makeup artist. The both did well, and I was happy with the overall look.
The Day of The Wedding: The hairstylist and makeup artist were both very late to my house to start everything. The hair stylist was first and she started on my Bridesmaids hair. She did one after another and after she finished a couple we realized the curls were already falling on the first girl, so she fixed them. By time she got to do my hair, we were already an hour behind schedule. She did not do my hair AT ALL like my trial… While it did turn out okay, it was not what I had asked for.
Next I had my makeup done, this was the one thing about them I was okay with. My makeup was flawless and I was very happy.
Then it came time to pay … The stylists there would not let me write them a check, so I asked if I could pay by credit card, and they had to call Liz to get her to take my card info. By time all of that was finally finished we were scrambling to pack up the car and head to the church, which I got there an hour before my ceremony began.
Overall, the hair stylist did not do a good job, curls were falling out left and right … payment was a pain, but the makeup was on point.

Liz did my makeup for my wedding and from the moment I met her I felt so comfortable. When I went for my trial I was still unsure of what I wanted and she was so patient and helpful in helping me find the right look, I walked out of there feeling absolutely gorgeous and I wasn’t even in my dress yet. Flash forward to the wedding day, Liz and her team were so professional and kind! It felt like a party getting ready with them. Not only did we all look amazing, but Liz completely put me at ease that morning. She is amazing!!!

I just want to say that this company deserves more than 5 stars! I don’t know what those other women are talking about, but Liz Dion was patient and AMAZING. I saw her filtered Unilocal reviews at the bottom of her Unilocal page, and they were outstanding! I had 8 girls, plus myself, and her team accommodated all of us seamlessly. I received make up, gel nails, spray tan and hair. I was impressed by Liz’s work. I looked FLAWLESS! Liz is definitely a kind soul. Her manicurist Abby was super clean, sanitary and took the time to make my nails perfect! I had hot towel service, neck/​shoulder and arm massage! The nail salon came to me… I felt so pampered and relaxed! She used all new tools on me and my girls when doing our nails. The spray tan girl Laura, clean and sanitary as well, was super friendly. I got the Piña Colada add-​on and bronze shimmer add-​on. My hair by Jessenia was just as I had wanted. Liz Dion and her crew helped us feel and look our best! We all looked amazing! Their prices are beyond affordable… I couldn’t believe it considering their level of work! They didn’t break my bank. Cheaper than I had expected. My sister is going to get married next Spring and she already booked Liz. I definitely recommend this company for your wedding needs. These girls know what they are doing and are respectful, patient and professional! Just call Liz, you’ll see what I mean!

I was actually going to give Liz 5 stars until it came time to pay.
Let me start with the good. Liz was my 5^th makeup trial and I stopped looking after her. I finally found someone! I think I am pretty good at putting on makeup and I almost gave up and thought I would put my own makeup on until I found Liz. I will tell you right now she IS the best. Don’t waste your money on endless makeup trials like I did and go to Liz first. I wish I found her earlier and I don’t think there is anyone else that can do as good as her she is truly talented.
Now on to the bad. All I needed her to do was my makeup, my mom’s and my little 12 year old sisters. I explained to her that my little sister didn’t need much as she is only 12 (maybe some blush and lip gloss). She told me she would do my little sister at no charge. Nice right? Well on the day of my wedding I noticed her putting airbrush makeup, false lashes, and the whole shabang on my little sister. I made comments like «oh wow, airbrush and lashes? I never had that at 12!» I thought it was a nice gesture of her since she was doing it free. Then when it came time to pay she charged me the same price as my mom! Liz told me that my little sister had asked for all the makeup. Red flags went up because first of all my little sister is extremely shy and she doesn’t talk to anyone let alone ask anyone for anything. So not only did a witness in the room at the time tell me Liz was the one that asked my little sister if she wanted airbrush an lashes and all that but when I asked my little sister she confirmed that yes it was Liz that asked her not the other way around. Now of course a little 12 year old girl is going to want lashes and airbrush makeup like her big sis and mom so I think she took advantage of her there. I was taken back when Liz was charging me for her after the work was already done because she did not discuss this or ask me (the person paying) or my mom first if all that makeup was okay. My little sister is really into makeup and I knew it made her happy so I just sucked it up and paid for it but honestly with her being only 12 she really could would have been fine without the airbrush makeup and eyelashes.
Bottom line — Liz is really talented and will get the job done but just look out for that up sell or the sneaky extra charge that happened to me. She DID major in Marketing so I guess I can’t really blame her for all the annoying up selling.

AMAZING! Just got my makeup done for an engagement shoot. It looked flawless! Liz was great to accommodate my popup request and was very polite and friendly. Christine was amazing on time and very sweet! These gals definitely know how to run a business! I had no clue when it comes to what I wanted and received so many compliments on the makeup. The look lasted all day and then some. i only wish I would have gotten the shade of lipstick color name cuz I love it! You have to hire them! Working in the wedding industry I see lots if different artists. This by far is one of the best and I would refer them to any friend or client!

I love Liz! She is amazing! I used her for a friends wedding for myself. I wasn’t in the wedding, lol… but love to get get my hair and makeup done. I can’t tell you how many people mentioned my makeup and how much they loved it. Not only did I use her for that wedding, I gifted Liz’s team for the bride and she used them for for the engagement party and wedding and had her whole wedding party used her too. They all got compliments about the makeup and the brides mother looked stunning and people still talk about the make-​up they all had on. I couldn’t say how much I love Liz Dion Cosmetics and how much pride they put in their work! If you are looking for makeup. You have to use her. you will not regret it. I try to find any reason to call LIz’s team again for makeup.

I went there recently for a trial for hair and airbrush make up for my wedding. It did not work out well for me. The make up looked fine when I got it done, but the hair did not come out at all like I asked. I did bring a few pictures with me, but she did do what I asked, which was a side twist with loose curls on one side. I got an inverted braid going all the way around my head with tight sausage curls hanging out on one side. I did ask her to fix it and she took a bigger curling iron out to loosen the curls, but it still did not look good. I felt bad saying anything more after that because she was nice and they had someone else waiting to get their hair done after me. I paid the fee for the trial ($ 130) plus deposit ($ 50) and left. About 2 hours later my make up caked up and got really heavy, oily and settled on top of every fine line and pore on my face. It was actually quite scary looking, as I looked about 15 years older than I normally do (not the look I was going for on my wedding day). My fiancé flat out did not like the hair or make up. He said the hair looked like I got it done, went to bed, woke up worked out and this is what it now looks like– basically a mess. In fact every friend I showed it to did not like either the hair or the make up, so I emailed Liz that day to explain everything and let her know it didn’t work out and that I felt really bad, but I just changed my mind at this point. I never got a response, so I called and did manage to get a hold of her on the phone a week later. She actually had the nerve to tell me I gave them the wrong instructions basically (she claims I told them I had dry skin instead of oily, just flat out not true) and obviously took it very personal, talked over me and then just wished me good luck on my wedding. When I finally got a chance to speak I asked for my deposit back and she told me it was company policy all refunds are non-​refundable according to some brochure I never saw. I was floored. I told her it was only fair she give me the deposit back since I did let her know that day I got it done and she begrudgingly agreed to give it back to me «for only me, only this one time.» I did get the deposit back about 2 weeks later. She also took a before and after picture of me, which is fine, I assumed she was using it for a personal record, but instead posted it on the website with out asking me. I was not happy about that either, but they did take it down after I asked. I found the whole experience was unprofessional. They have a long way to go if you ask me for what they charge for their services. I lost $ 130 on the whole thing and still have to find someone else to pay to do it right. No one wants that stress, planning a wedding is stressful enough.

Had a really good experience with Liz and her team at my wedding. All of my girls LOVED their makeup done by Liz and Leslie. Terrell did my hair and did a really nice job too. They are a little more expensive than most, but they do a really good job. Very professional and they take a lot of pride in their work. Would totally recommend Liz and her team to any bride.

There isn’t anyone better than Liz Dion. Her team did hair and make up for my wedding party and we LOVED the results. They were punctual, professional and friendly. They saw acne on my 14 yr old son’s face and air brushed him clean. The photos are in and I will post them on her Facebook. She is superb at what she does and produced magnificent results.
We wholeheartedly recommend her.
