Makeup by Brea

as you can tell from my rating, i loved working w/ brea.i found her warm, sooooo nice, and very professional for the trial and the day of the wedding.she handled all the personalities and the styles of the moms and bridesmaids with grace, i could not have asked for better artist on the wedding day. a huge plus for us is that she travels to where you are, which made getting ready so comfortable. she even provides you with a tear sheet of the colors and makeup she used in case you want to try it yourself!!!if i were to get married again - i would use Brea!

I used Brea for my my bridal makeup along with my bridal parties make up. She did an AMAZING job! She is so sweet and really listens and understands how you invision your "look" on your wedding day. She came right to my hair salon on a sunday morning and was done in a few hours with all our makeup. Everyone looked so beautiful! I am so glad I my friend told me about her!

I was in a wedding this past Saturday and Brea did our makeup. I have been in about 12 weddings and usually I end up wiping off 75% of what the makeup artist puts on me. Not this time! My makeup was great! I was actually sad to go home and wash my face because I knew I would never look that good again. Brea is really nice and patient and has great suggestions. I highly recommend her services!

I absolutely loved working with Brea and would give her 10 stars out of 5 in every category if I could! I never wear makeup and was rather nervous about wearing any for my wedding because I didn't want to look too made up or different from the way I normally look. I have had my makeup done by other makeup artists many times when I have been in my friends' weddings, and I have only come out of those experiences more and more against wearing makeup. I'm an Asian girl and I've found that most people don't have the talent or patience to deal with Asian facial features. I expressed all of my concerns to Brea, and she really listened to my requests for very natural, subtle makeup - and took the time to figure out what worked for my Asian face! The trial was great; she was so friendly and put me at ease very quickly, yet so professional at the same time. I loved that she asked questions to try to get to know me and my personality more as well, so that she could tailor my look even more. She let me try on false eyelashes at the trial for free(!) so I could decide whether I would want them for the wedding. I liked my makeup so much I didn't even want to take it off after the trial. I was so impressed at the detailed notes she took at the trial so that she could refer back to them on the wedding day and also gave me a copy so I could buy any of the things she used on me easily.Her attention to detail on me wasn't just because I was the bride - on the day of the wedding Brea was just as attentive to all of my girls and the mothers as she was to me. All of the bridal party (some of whom don't wear makeup normally either, and another girl who is Asian) were thrilled with the results. She gave all of us the lipstick that she used on us so that we could touch up during the day, free of charge, AND she came with an emergency wedding day kit just in case the bridal party had forgotten anything we needed! She also made sure to check up on all of us before she left - again, so attentive!Brea went above and beyond what I would have ever asked or expected of my makeup artist. My girls and I had so much fun with her on the day of the wedding, and I recommend Brea to everyone and anyone who needs to get their makeup done for any occasion!

I am so happy I hired Brea to do my makeup the day of my wedding. She did such a great job. My makeup lasted all day. She also gives you a lipstick to do touch ups throughout the day when she is done. My bridesmaids' makeup also came out stunning. Everyone looked so beautiful. She is so friendly and calm. Such a pleasure to have around the day of your wedding. I did a trial with her and loved how my makeup came out. I signed the contract on the spot. Her prices are reasonable and I love the MAC products she uses. I definitely recommend her to other brides. You will not be disappointed she is an excellent makeup artist.

I do not know what the hype about airbrush makeup is. I tried it out (it seemed like it was all brides were talking about on the forums), and just didn't feel right about it. It looked like a mask. Thankfully I found Brea. Her makeup is so classic and tasteful, she is seriously talented as a makeup artist and as a businesswoman is very professional. Keeps detailed notes from the trial so what you see on wedding day is exactly what you signed off on at the trial. And the trial is so much fun! The entire experience was such a pleasure with Brea. She is such a sweet person and lovely to work with, after she left all my bridesmaids and I were talking how we wanted to be her friend! And she's so much more than a makeup artist: Someone's dress was wrinkled, Brea had a steamer right there. Someone's curls started falling, Brea whipped out a curling iron. Clearly these are not responsibilities of a makeup artist, but she was so equipped it completely took the stress out of getting ready. It was almost comical how we were all stressballs and Brea was calm and prepared for any possible need. We all looked beautiful on wedding day, and most importantly, we all looked like ourselves!! Only better! Thank you Brea!!!

Brea does an incredible job and is such a sweet girl. I had 3 makeup trials before I went to her and no one else even came close to what she did. I swear she is a miracle worker! There really isn't anything to say other then to go for a trial - you will not be disappointed and her prices are great - I would have paid triple!

Brea recently did make-up for me and five members of my Bridal Party. She was easy to schedule a trial with and very responsive in our communication prior to the wedding. I had checked out other make-up artists online and felt like the make-up looked very heavy and unnatural. I was so happy with my trial and after a brief conversation with Brea she quickly figured out what I was looking for and I left feeling very confident in her abilities. The day of the wedding she arrived on time even with traffic from a local parade. I was so impressed with how calm and organized she was. Not only did she do an amazing job on our make-up but thought of many additional details. Brea brought straws for our champagne toast so we wouldn’t ruin our lipstick, had a dress steamer that I was able to use for my dress and veil that were slightly wrinkled from being packed in the car, and left a sheet with the name of the make-up products she used that day. I liked the make-up she chose so much I’ve already gone out to buy some. I absolutely loved my make-up and felt beautiful on the day of my wedding. I know my Mom and bridesmaids felt the same way (and we are all very particular). I’ve seen photos of the wedding and the make-up and false lashes make such a big difference. Brea has a great personality and my bridal party members enjoyed talking with her. She was a wonderful addition to my day!

I am so happy that I hired Brea to be my makeup artist. Brea was personable and calm. She did a great job and our makeup lasted for the whole event...even in the summer heat. She really listened to my bridesmaids and I when we told her what look we were going for. We even got into a time crunch because we got held up at the salon and Brea still finished all of the girls and me by the time we needed to leave. She did a great job at my trial and was easy to get a hold of when I had questions in between the trial and wedding. Everyone looked stunning and her prices are by far the most reasonable I found.

Brea was such a pleasure to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is sweet, personable, and just an all-around great person. At my makeup trial, she asked a lot of questions to get to know me and gain an understanding of my wedding “vision,” before she even started doing anything with the makeup. Brea seemed to understand exactly what I was looking for, and she exceeded my expectations.On the wedding day, Brea arrived with her own makeup chair, lamp, bridal emergency kit, and more makeup than could fit on my parents’ large kitchen counter. She was able to create beautiful looks for the bridesmaids and mothers, tailoring each person’s makeup to their skin tone and eye color, as well as their own preferences. Brea was very patient with one person who couldn’t decide how she wanted her makeup, trying a few different looks until they both felt like it was perfect. My makeup stayed on, and looked perfect, from 10:00am until I took it off at midnight. Overall, Brea did an amazing job, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Brea is great. She is so nice and does such a great job. My makeup looked amazing all day! I didn't look overdone or like a different person. Just a better version of me. She used a mixture of MAC and BareMinerals. She is laid back and easy to work with. Even when my mom was a little unsure of her makeup she did a great job at fixing it and making my mom feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend her.

I hired Brea to do make up for me, my Bridal Party, my Mom, my Aunt, our two flower girls, and our two program attendants - She was such a trooper and got all of the ladies looking BEAUTIFUL in a timely fashion. She is super sweet and calm and just a great person to have around while you are getting ready the day of your wedding. Our make up stayed on all night long and looked great in photos. 5 stars for sure!

Brea was fantastic! My makeup and my bridesmaids makeup was absolutely beautiful and lasted way past the reception! Her prices are extremely reasonable. She is great!!! I highly recommend her.

Brea is a sweet and talented person. She made my special day very relaxing. My makeup and bridal party was amazing....natural and lasted all night long. I love how she gave every day tips to some of my bridesmaids along the way.

Brea did a fantastic job with the makeup for my wedding. All the ladies looked gorgeous! She was very professional and has a great eye for color. She is patient and pays great attention to detail. I highly recommend her.
