I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding was 10-02-2022 at Temescal Beach House in Oakland. Kim did my hair and make-up as well as the hair and make-up of my mom and 2 bridesmaids. Throughout the process-from my very first phone/video call with her, until the wedding day- Kim was kind, responsive, professional, and completely fantastic. She's genuine and calming which for me, was exactly what I wanted. I do not wear make-up or do my hair so this was the aspect of my day-of wedding prep that I was most worried about. I didn't want heavy make-up or to not look like myself. I also didn't have a pinterest board or a ton of my own ideas because that world (of hair and make-up) is intimidating to me and just not a language I speak. Kim was SO good at giving me options, talking me through things, and REALLY listening to my preferences. She was adaptive and sincere throughout the process and I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day. I looked like me, but leveled up a few notches, and my friends and family recognized me. The hair and make-up also lasted all day which was awesome. Kim is seriously the best (also queer friendly which was great). I cannot recommend her more highly.

Working with Annaliza and the MakeYourselfUp team was an exceptional experience! Annaliza's talent shines through in her makeup and hair artistry, especially on my wedding day. I was beyond thrilled with the results, and the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. Not only did Annaliza work her magic on me, but she also beautified my maid of honor, and her team did eight bridesmaids, including my mom. The transformation was incredible—my mom looked absolutely radiant and years younger! What truly stood out about working with Annaliza was the ease of collaboration. I shared my preferred style and showed her some inspiration from Pinterest, and she immediately understood my vision. Her expertise went beyond just executing my ideas; she also made insightful suggestions that enhanced my overall look in ways I hadn’t considered, making the process enjoyable and stress-free. One aspect that truly impressed me was the team’s punctuality. Annaliza and her team arrived 30 minutes early, ensuring we had more than enough time for everyone’s makeup and hair.

My work can be described as elevated, intentional, and polished. Whether I am working with a bride who prefers to look more like their natural selves or a bride who is a sucker for full glam, I strive to create a luxurious experience for my clientele on their wedding day. Customizing your look with even the most subtle details can prove to be so impactful in enhancing your beauty. I can’t take all of the credit though! Your beauty inspires me— And at the core of it all, your own beautiful face is the roadmap to creating the most elevated version of yourself.

I hired Raven and her team for my wedding last year and I have zero regrets. From the first email I received, I knew I was in good hands. I instantly fell in love with Raven during my consultation call because she really listened to what I wanted and even took notes! 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’ve always loved hair and makeup, so getting it professionally done was one of the things I was most excited about for my wedding. Choosing a HMU artist was overwhelming, especially with so many highly recommended options. Emily Lynn & Co. stood out to me because of their natural approach. Their website had an editorial yet relaxed and fun vibe that resonated with me. As a graphic designer, a beautifully designed brand and website played a big role in all my vendor decisions—but Emily Lynn & Co.'s work truly spoke for itself. I had the pleasure of working with Colette as my lead artist, and I can’t recommend her enough. She made the trial experience so comfortable by coming to my apartment, which was so nice. Colette really understood my vision—I wanted to look like myself, not too overdone, but with a touch of soft glam, and she nailed it perfectly. I also had Josie do hair for a few wedding party members, and everyone looked incredible. The atmosphere while getting ready was fun yet wonderfully calm. I highly recommend Emily Lynn & Co. to anyone looking for a top-notch HMU team!

I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was.
