Word on the Street
"Ileana was wonderful! I came across her Instagram page through a friend and immediately knew I wanted her to do my make up for an upcoming event. I messaged her wanting to know some details and she was very prompt to respond. I am new to makeup, and wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for. She met me IN PERSON and went makeup shopping with me. She showed me how to find products that matched my complexion, skin type, and style. I had a budget in mind and she stayed under it the whole time! I've only had my make up done once before and it was airbrushed (completely different process) so I wasn't really sure what to expect. She blew my mind with the look she created for me. She took her time and did not make me feel like she was just trying to rush through it. She literally went above and beyond my expectations. She even threw in a simple hair style to complete the look. I mean how awesome right?!? I can't tell you the amount of compliments I received on my make-up after she was finished. I highly recommend her for any event you may have. Book with this girl! You will NOT be disappointed!"

"I had Ileana do my 23rd Birthday makeover and it was by far one of the best experiences I have ever had. She took the time to teach me step-by-step tips & tricks I could use for daily makeup application and for special events. I had never had my makeup done before, nor had I ever experienced the confidence boost this session had lit inside of me. During the session, I could see how passionate Ileana was about doing the makeover. She was willing to take her time and effort to learn how to do traditional Arabian-styled makeup. She never once looked at the clock, and she spent her time perfecting the look. She did not settle for anything less than fabulous! She made sure I looked and felt amazing head to toe before we finished the session. Walking into my families house for my party, I felt like I was shining. My dad could not wipe the smile off of his face, and my mother even teared up later.Â
I will be getting my graduation makeover done by this empowering and talented lady later in the spring, and have also recommended her to my family and friends. She not only is talented and passionate, but also flexible in learning new techniques. She is patient and will not settle for anything short of perfection."

"Ileana made me look and feel flawless. Everyone should have the chance to know how it feels to have confidence, and that is something that becomes instant once your makeover is revealed! Not only does she educate you while doing your make up, but she puts so much thought into doing your face, it's as if it were her own. She really knows her stuff! If you want to have a perfect night with the perfect look I would recommend the help of Ileana from head to toe!"

"I’ve used Ileana for several projects ranging from photo shoots in formal and informal attire to creative concept projects that included body paint, facial makeup, and head pieces. Her ability to transform my look to match my vision for each project was astounding. However, her artistry is not her only incredible feature: She is also organized, efficient, and incredibly enjoyable to spend time with."

"I've been doing my makeup for as long as I can remember, but I needed to switch it up. I reached out to Ileana for coaching and drove in to meet her from out of state. She analyzed my face, mapped my proportions, and immediately started sketching and coming up with a plan. She showed me the proper techniques for my specific facial structure and created a look that I absolutely loved. Finally, she gave me a full makeover, and went above and beyond by coaching me through the application and products used every step of the way. Ileana is so talented and can make anyone look and feel like a princess!! She made me feel so beautiful! It was well worth the drive!!"

"Ileana did my makeup for a Mardi Gras Party. She's sooo professional and thorough in explaining each step of the makeup process. It was a total transformation!! If anyone is looking for makeup for a special event, I would highly recommend Ileana! She did an amazing job!"

"I chose Ileana, because it was the day of the Halloween party my fraternity was hosting, I didn't have a costume, and she was willing to help me last minute. I had no makeup experience prior to this, but she walked me through every step and made me feel extremely comfortable. I was so impressed, not only by the quality of the design, but also by the fact that she didn't have an image or video to go off of. She just completely created the look in her mind, and worked her magic on the first try. I went to the party with a hand-painted skull mask on my face. It was so impressive, people kept asking how she did it. I had so many compliments, and it caught everyone's attention, from my friends to all kinds of women. I would recommend her to anyone over and over. 5/5."
