Excellent and affordable makeup

Aprille did an amazing job with my wedding makeup. She was very pleasant and easy to work with, and listened carefully to all my needs to make sure she gave me a look that was exactly what I wanted. During the trial, she made sure to explain everything she was doing to me, and gave me plenty of good advice on how to prep my face for the wedding day. She also messaged me afterwards to check on how my makeup held up after the trial so that she would know exactly what to do for wedding day, which went very smoothly. She also did my mom and mother in law's makeup, which turned out very well and very appropriate for them. Her prices are also very fair.

I will say that if you are the type of person who needs a quick response to your messages, like within the hour, you may not find Aprille completely suited to you. However, I found her professionalism and skills more than made up for the slightly longer response time, and I would definitely recommend her and would work with her again!

April did my makeup in addition to 4 bridesmaids and mother of the bride. She came all the way to Cochrane and did a phenomenal job. I don't know how she does it because I was not a great bride the day of but April stayed and made sure I was happy, providing touch-ups literally as I got in the car. She was very professional and exceeded my expectations. I recommend her to anyone!

Amazing Miss Lu

I saw her ad on the internet and she responded to my inquries promptly. She is friendly, professional and worked quickly without making me feel rushed. She is very easy to work with, very helpful and understanding. Miss Lu, you are amazing! Thank you!

I decided to book Miss Lu even before I met her, her portfolios look amazing and the online reviews are great. However, she is not responsive at all and all my email was being ignored. I had to send her multiple email before I get one response. Maybe because I just need 1x person service that's why I am in the bottom of the pile. I spent most of my time waiting for her response, waiting for the contract, and the date to run a trial. I personally don't think my business is being appreciated and wanted. At the end, I had to make a decision to go with someone else who will make me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I sent her an email to explain and have my cancellation on written. And of course, my email was being ignored again. This is the worst wedding vendor experience I have ever had. I am very disappointed.
