SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

She guided me seamlessly through the process until we landed on the look. Then, day of, she executed what we decided on during the trial beautifully. And stayed on schedule. Also, genuinely a nice person and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10 recommend!”

With years of experience, I love working with my clients to create their desired look that will leave them feeling beautiful and confident. I am an on location MUA which means I go to you! I believe all brides should feel pampered and worry free on their big day!

“I am a minimal makeup girly but when my wedding day was coming up, I wasn't sure whether I should go the DIY route (as was most of my wedding), until a friend recommended Santana. Makeup by Santana was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very beginning, Santana's communication was clear, consistent, and she was open to my ideas, while also helping me narrow down and paint the picture of the look I was going for. Santana asked thoughtful questions during our trial makeup and then again on wedding day about the looks we had discussed prior, but was she was also assertive in guiding me towards the perfect beauty look (i.e., making minor changes such as lashes and asking if I was still okay with a certain look, color, etc.). On the day of, Santana made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, which allowed her to work her magic and create a flawless makeup application that lasted all night long. The quality of Santana's work was truly exceptional and worth every penny - I've never felt more glamorous! I would highly recommend Makeup by Santana to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and communicative beauty team to be part of their special day.”

I was a bit nervous initially because I don’t really know much about makeup and hair, but she reassured me that we would create a look that I’m comfortable with and looks great. At my preview we went over everything we discussed during my call and she executed my look perfectly. I’ve LITERALLY never looked better!! I was glammed up but my skin looked so buttery and smooth, never cakey. On my wedding day Raven, Keziah(?) and two other lovely gals arrived on time and got all 9 of us all done quickly but we never felt rushed. The makeup lasted from the afternoon well into the evening and I felt so beautiful. My husband really loved her work as well because I still looked like me! I couldn’t recommend Raven enough!!”

“I got married in Monterey, CA and used Kim Baker Beauty (specifically Kim) for my bridal hair and makeup. Kim was so professional on top of being so kind while my bridesmaids were buzzing around. I was worried about looking like a completely different person, and Kim made sure I looked like a glowing bride. She was the first vendor I met day of and set the tone for a very relaxed day. She also helped me build out a skin care routine to prep for the big day by making it seem less intimidating and using my budget and skincare concerns. 10/10 would recommend and plan to use Kim's team again in the future!”
