Absolutely Perfect Makeup

Not only is Alexandra extremely talented, she's also absolutely wonderful to work with. She is super professional and my bridal party absolutely loved how they looked. My bridal makeup was natural looking but glamorous and she did an outstanding job. I can't recommend her enough!!!

Two events, two different looks, two great experiences!

My husband and I had a small ceremony followed by a larger reception a month later. Alexandra did my make-up, as well as my mom and sister's, for both events. She arrived on time and with all the tools of the trade, including different false eyelash options. Alexandra asked for and acted on feedback, made professional recommendations and made our skin look flawless! She made sure that the false eyelashes were comfortable and had high attention to detail – she didn’t want to leave anything less than perfect. Thanks for the great experience, Alexandra!!

Amazing experience

Alexandra is amazing. I wanted a very natural look, so she created that simple, yet bridal look. I would also really recommend the trial to decide on what looks best/what you want. (Alexandra was able to accommodate my busy/crazy schedule to book the trial.)
On my wedding day, she arrived a little early so she can set everything up to start right at the scheduled time. (This took so much stress away since everything was on schedule and I didn't have to worry about being behind).
The makeup was gorgeous and lasted for the whole day (it was still perfect when I got home around midnight). I got so many compliments on how beautiful I look. (We didn't get our photos yet but in the pictures our friends/family took, I look amazing. Exactly how I wanted to look).
Thank you so much for this wonderful experience :)

Severe lack of Integrity

I am extremely disappointed with the lack of integrity and professionalism from the owner of Mobile Makeovers, Alexandra, as well as her lack of ethical business practices. I am aware this is an extremely long review; however, I hope that by sharing my experience I am able to inform other brides considering Mobile Makeovers for their wedding day. My relationship with this company is long and complex, but ultimately, I will summarize the series of events that led to my dissatisfaction with the makeup services provided and, more importantly, the questionable manner in which Alexandra conducts her business to take advantage of unsuspecting brides.

As with most other brides, I put a lot of research into choosing a company to hire for makeup for my wedding day. With the almost perfect 5-star review from over 220 people at the time, I had full confidence in Mobile Makeovers. Unfortunately, issues began from the start when, in the process of booking and paying for Alexandra’s services, she emailed me to say she was no longer available as she had accepted payment from another bride for the same day. Instead, she recommended that I hire her assistant, Annie, through Mobile Makeovers. To be clear, I hired Annie through Mobile Makeovers and was told by Alexandra that she would receive a kickback for Annie’s work on my wedding day, as this is the industry standard. This was negotiated and confirmed through email correspondence between Alexandra and myself. As I do not have any experience with the wedding industry and was under the impression that Mobile Makeovers was a reputable company, I agreed to the terms outlined by Alexandra and paid the deposit requested on my Mobile Makeovers invoice directly to Alexandra.

Leading up to the wedding day, Alexandra and I corresponded several times regarding logistics for the wedding day. We discussed Annie’s schedule for the day and I was asked to pay the outstanding balance directly to Annie.

On the day of the wedding, my bridesmaids and I did not receive the service that was agreed upon between Alexandra and myself. Annie did not finish the makeup within the required time (only 3 out of 5 of us were ready by the requested time) which affected all of our getting ready photos and video and added undue stress. In addition, there were many other displays of unprofessionalism from Annie throughout the day (i.e., arriving 30 minutes late, making inappropriate and offensive comments to the bridal party, inability to manage her time), which I felt it necessary to bring forward to Alexandra, as the owner of the company I had hired for my wedding day.

However, when these concerns were brought forward to Alexandra, she claimed that Mobile Makeovers was not responsible. She said she referred Annie as a friend and when I agreed to the terms and paid the Mobile Makeovers invoice, I was in fact hiring Annie as a free agent. Alexandra stated she was only collecting the money for the sake of simplicity and she did not receive any profit from my wedding. I cannot confirm this is the truth, as I do not know what happened to the money from the initial deposit I had transferred to Alexandra. What I can confirm and verify with emails is that Alexandra had set the rates for the services consistent with Mobile Makeovers and told me that she will receive a kickback from Annie’s work for my wedding.

After trying to discuss these conflicting terms of agreement with Alexandra, I was told that she had clearly stated that I was hiring Annie as a free agent and she did not receive any profit from my wedding; again, I can confirm otherwise with emails. In the end, Alexandra disregarded my concerns and refused to address them by passing off responsibility to her employee and falsifying the terms of our agreement. Mobile Makeovers is not registered with the Better Business Bureau, so my only recourse is to write this review to share my experience here.

Truthfully, it is upsetting to write this review but I do not want other brides to have the same negative experience I had. The lessons I have learned from this, and which I hope to pass on to other brides, is to ensure you ALWAYS sign a contract with ANY company you hire. Five-star reviews are not enough to validate the efficacy and integrity of a company, or a person.

I would not recommend Mobile Makeovers to any bride or individual looking to hire a “professional” makeup company.

She is amazing!

Alexandra did make up for myself, my MOH/bridesmaids and my mother on the day of my wedding. Everyone looked amazing and natural- we all loved our makeup. She is extremely talented! She is also very friendly and fun- loving- we had a great time chatting with her and loved having her as a part of our morning. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Make Up Artist

Alexandra was amazing! The best compliment I got was that the makeup looked beautiful and that I still looked like myself :)
I’m always a little worried about makeup because I am quite pale, but Alexandra did an amazing job of matching my skin tone and not over powering my fair features.
She takes the time to figure out the best application for your face and eye shape, and everything was perfect!
It lasted through the whole day, through the tears and all. I would definitely recommend Alexandra!
