My philosophy in makeup is to enhance your unique natural beauty, from soft and natural to red carpet ready, my goal is that my client always feels beautiful and relaxed.

Make up for our full work team - took time and personal request to get to know each of our individual style/taste to best capture the perfect ideal look. I enjoyed talking to her during my session and feeling like a person not just another face. Will be calling her for personal make up needs moving forward!!

Monica is very professional and friendly! We had a great experience with her! I was going for a natural look and she did just that. 10/10! Thank you for listening and being on time! She touched up my husband’s complexion as well! I highly recommend that fellas, for photos! We can’t wait to see our actual wedding photos partly because of Monica’s work! Thank you so much Monica!

Monica was great! She was attentive to my needs and was definitely part of making my wedding day extra memorable . She was informative while applying makeup, explained the process and offered her expert opinion when needed. Her hair skills’ were top notch! She is humble and easy going which made it super easy to talk to. Thank you for giving me a first class experience; I will definitely use Monica in future events and celebrations.

Monica did an outstanding job for me! She fixed my hair and make up for professional headshots. I wanted a natural look and what she did was perfect. Her abilities are quite versatile. She has very clean practices and is quite personable. I highly recommend Monica for your make up needs.

My son got married this past weekend and my daughter and I had our makeup done by Monica. She was such a pleasure!! Very talented, professional and detail oriented. She listened to what we wanted, made some suggestions and the outcome was perfection!! She was also very respectful with safety precautions during Covid, wore a mask and disinfected her area. We were already a little stressed getting ready for this big day so it was nice to have someone who was calm and efficient. If you need your makeup done I highly recommend Monica. She was absolutely amazing!!

Monica did my wedding makeup and it was perfect! I typically don’t wear a lot of makeup so was nervous about looking too done-up, but she completely understood my vision and put me at ease with her competence. My makeup looked beautiful, natural, and I felt so confident on my big day. Besides doing a wonderful job, she was very kind, professional, and kept her makeup very neat/sanitary. Highly recommend her.

Monica is wonderful to work with and does a fantastic job on makeup. I absolutely loved my wedding makeup. I really enjoyed doing the trial with her to figure out what I wanted for the big day, and she did not disappoint. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and loved how she did the makeup for my bridal party, the mom's and me. Everyone looks so great in all of the photos! Monica did the makeup for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in and LOVED how she did my makeup that I had to book her for my wedding. I highly recommend Monica for any makeup needs!

I had three trials prior to meeting Monica. I was starting to get a little nervous. Upon the first call she was kind and easy to talk with. She accommodated my crazy work schedule and fit me in for my trial. I showed up with a few pictures on pintrest and she knocked it out of the park on the first try. She had wonderful suggestions that would show great in pictures, factors that I would have never thought of. This is not even the best part! The day of my wedding she had the most amazing, calming energy that a bride could ask for (with a bridal suite of at least 20 people running around!) While

My first amazing makeup experience with Monica was 8 years ago. I have consistently used her when at my RSF residence and on set while filming for Lux Life and various photo shoots. Having had 100's of makeup artists I qualify to say she is as good as it gets. Monica is professional, pleasant and highly skilled at creating a variety of looks and bringing out my best features.

Monica was booked for me by a photographer without me ever seeing her work. I couldn't have been happier with my decision to trust the selection. Monica has high quality makeup and accessories, is very talented at what she does and even better, she is wonderful to work with. Thank you for the great experience!

Amazing make up artist! Highly reccommended. Monica did make up for my wedding for me and 4 bridesmaids plus my mom. She did a fabulous job and everyone absolutely loved how they looked. She created the exact look i wanted and was a pleasure to work with. Really made getting ready on my wedding day stress free, fun and enjoyable. I dont think there is a better make up artist in San Diego!
