Jaycee Beauty 

5.0

  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

I have been a professional freelance makeup artist for 4 years now. I also worked at Sephora for 2 years as a makeup artist, and earned my Esthetician license before that in 2017. I have always been an artist at heart but did not touch makeup until I was 18 years old! But thankfully my love and talent for art and painting easily transferred over to makeup artistry, and I'm very thankful that I can encourage my creativity while making people feel beautiful on their important days of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
When another makeup artist cancelled on us last minute, I freaked out!! But my wedding planner recommended Jaycee and she was an absolute gem. Got her booked so quickly, so nice to talk to, and answered all my questions quickly. She even called me same day for us to discuss everything. She turned a really stressful situation into the least of my problems! Her makeup and hairstyling she did was absolutely perfect and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. She recommended slight adjustments in the makeup I originally wanted, and at first I wasn’t sure about, but they really made my natural features pop more.

I highly recommend Blushed by Brink for anyone looking for hair and makeup in the San Diego area! Madison was so kind and an absolute joy to talk to/work with. This was my first time having my makeup done professionally and Madison was so patient with me, listened to all my feedback and made changes accordingly, and even let me do a second makeup trial to make sure I was 100% happy with the final result. Day of the wedding I changed my mind regarding the positioning of the low bun and even though we were short on time, she completely redid the bun to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Hair/make up was definitely the thing I was most nervous about because I'm so particular, but I felt so comfortable and confident and truly felt like myself. Highly recommend Madison and Blushed by Brink for your wedding day!
