“I would like to say preface my review by saying that I don’t normally wear makeup or style my hair. That being said, I spent alot of time looking through portfolios and meeting with potential make up artists. A friend recommended Deserae Barajas, so I booked a makeup preview with her.
During our preview, Des asked me about what I envisioned for my wedding. She was also the only MUA that asked to see my wedding dress and Pinterest board so she could better understand my taste and overall wedding aesthetic.
My hair and makeup came out beautifully during the preview, so I booked her for my wedding.
The day of my wedding, I looked and felt fxxxing gorgeous! Des did a spectacular job on my hair and my makeup. She recommended that I go with a slightly darker shade of lipstick to better compliment my skin tone, and that made all of the difference in my overall look.
I got married on Halloween in Southern California, so it was about 87 outside. The heat made me sweat but my hair and makeup still looked flawless! At the reception, I had a great time drinking and dancing. The best part was that I never even had to touch up my makeup! I looked great! I was glad I invested in Des Barajas because her talent and work made it easier for me to enjoy my day.
When I received my wedding photos, my husband and I were both floored by how amazing we both looked. I received a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup, and I was finally able to really see why. My face looked amazing, and my hair was beautiful.
Working with Des was really easy and comfortable. She listened to what my beauty needs and concerns were, and her talent far exceeded my expectations. I have recommended her to all of my family and friends, and you’d be a fool to not hire her. The girl works wonders!
Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful Des!”
