  • “Syd is an artist and a professional! Her make up technique is flawless. We had an artistic photoshoot and she nailed it. I've never seen a make up artist's set up as organized as hers. She also knows how to mix palettes well when she adjusted the shade of my foundation. She kept everything clean and sanitary. And the biggest bonus is her hands are so gentle and light! I loved working with Syd and have even asked to work with her on future projects.”

  • “Such a great experience! Syd took her time to make sure it was just right. From prep work to lashes, everything was curated to my face and skin type. I can be particular about my lips and she was more than happy to make the minor correction to the style I liked. I couldn't recommend her work more! And I'm so looking forward to working with her again.”

She nailed down the exact look i was going for, and knew multiple styles and techniques that fit my skin type, eye shape and palette preferences. My experience felt very luxurious, with her providing top notch skin prep and mild spa treatment, I truly felt that I treated myself. Not only is Syd extremely talented, she is very personable and communicative with an all around sweet and calming vibe! I was informed on everything she was doing throughout the entire process, which made the experience very comfortable for someone like me, who is not adapt to getting this service provided regularly. She listened to my concerns and feedback without issue and allowed the process to feel as if we worked together to achieve my desired look. overall, a 10 out of 10 experience, that I highly recommend.”

The makeup came out so beautiful and soft glam, and it lasted all day without feeling heavy. I got so many compliments, and honestly, I didn't want to take it off at the end of my photo shoot session She's also just really sweet, calm, and professional, which made the whole experience even better.
