  • "Diane,

    Thank you for an amazing job! My make-up looks great still. Our photo shoot was amazing, I am so happy, I hope to be able to work with you in the future!

    You truly are great at what you do! Have a happy Holiday!"

  • Diane,
     
    Words cannot express how grateful I am to you!  Your work was simply amazing.  Thank you so much for your encouragement throughout the day.  Below is the slideshow- a peak at the pics to come. Everyone was raving about the makeup :) The first pic was taken right when I got there and the last pic was taken at 11:00 pm at night and the makeup looks just as great!
     
    You are simply amazing!  I will get my response on Yelp asap!  Everyone must know your genius :)
     
    thanks again!

  • Hey Diane,
     
    It's Jenn from Alicia's wedding this past Sunday (girl with the bangs).  I just wanted to say thank-you again, Alicia looked absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't believe how long my make-up lasted. I body surfed the crowd when Van Halen came on, jumped the fence into the vineyard, and took a nose dive out of a chair and my make-up still looked great at 3:00 a.m.-ha!
     
    Just wanted to say thank-you and I'm thinking of an excuse for Alicia and I to get our make-up done again next time I'm out!
     
    Have a wonderful day and thanks again,
     
    Jenn :)

  • "Diane,
    I can't say enough THANK YOU'S for how you turned 3 plain Janes into 3 gorgeous women.  You really know your craft and you do it very well.  Everyone loooooved the way you did our makeup and your work was complimented through out the night.  Even the men in my family that don't like to give compliments did!  Also, family that couldn't make it to the wedding but got pictures that we sent from our phones didn't recognize Jennifer!!
    If there is anything you ever need you let me know.  I will not forget to send you the stuff we talked about once back from our honeymoon.
    You are truly the best Makeup Artist out there and I should know! hehe"

    Many, Many Thanks! June N

  • "Hi Diane,

    I just wanted to thank you for helping my bridal party and I very pretty on the day of my wedding.  You were a great pleasure to have in the room with us.  You seriously felt just like one of our girls and you are somebody we would totally hang out with. You are amazingly talented!!! If you ever need a recommendation please send them my way.  Please  keep in touch! Thanks again for making me feel beautiful and my mom too. She doesn't really wear make-up but she felt very pretty that day. "

  • "Hi Diane-
    Thank you again for everything! It was a great pleasure meeting you as well & the make-up was absolutely to die for! After the shoot I went to MAC because I just couldn't wait & they were so impressed with how I looked. And remember how you told me to get NW30 for the concelar? Well I asked the lady at the counter since neither of the guys that you referred me to were there & she was saying "no I think you might want to go darker!" I told her, "No..I was told by my make-up artist NW30!" Then she told me to try it on and of course she admitted she was wrong & that NW30 was perfect. Damn you're good!
    I saw some of the photos, but he's going to make a cd with all of them for me by Wednesday. They looked awesome! I still can't believe it was me in those photos! I'll send you some pix as soon as I get them. He took alot of them too with you applying my make-up. Totally shows off your work! So I'll get those to you as well.
    I've already added you to my perferred vendors list that I send all my clients & I'll make sure to get your name out there. How could I not? You were sooooooo good.
    Nevertheless, I'll keep you posted with everything. Take care & I'll talk to you again soon."

    Aloha! Claire

  • "Hi Diane,
    This is Katie.  Thanks again for the beautiful work you did on Saturday for my sister Erin's wedding.  I just want to touch base about my wedding on August 2nd.  Let me know when you get a chance if you are still interested.  It was a pleasure meeting you and thanks again!!!"

  • Hi Diane,
    I have limited internet access, but I just wanted to drop
    you a note to let you know that I really like the picture
    that you emailed me.  I feel very beautiful whenever I look
     at it....even though it is more makeup than I usually wear,
    On the picture it looks so natural and gorgeous and I LOVE
    it!!  I feel so pretty ...for the first in a long time . I thank you
     for making me look radiant.  Most of the time, I want to
     crop myself out of pictures.  I can look at that one picture
     even here in Tahoe ...and my husband  loves it!

  • "Hey Diane,
    The shoot was great. Heidi's makeup looked AMAZING. I am so happy. Within 24
    hours, my dad will have some of her pics online at www.spectrumquest.com,
    then emerging models, then Heidi/California gun girls.

     Hey Diane,
    Daisy’s make up looked great tonight. I love that you played up her cheek bones . It came up really well in the pics. Thanks again for everything that you do. You are great to work with."

  • "Good morning Diane!
     
    I wanted to send you a huge thank you for the amazing job you did on our wedding makeup on the 11th! Everyone looked phenomenal and most importantly, they felt glamorous! I also wanted to let you know how much the girls raved about you. They loved talking with you and we all had a blast during the “getting ready” process. Thank you for all your hard work. I feel so lucky to have found you at the last minute and I know that Amy has already recommended you to another bride friend! I wish you all the success in the world and thank you again for making my wedding day extra special!

  • Hi Diane,
     
     Thank you so much for doing my makeup for my wedding. You did a great job and everyone complemented me on being a beautiful bride. I appreciate all your hard work and I will surely recommend you to future brides.
     
    I do not have the photos yet from our photographers but once I get them, I will send it to you so you can update your website of new pictures.
     
    Thanks again and I wish you all the best in the future.

    Jennifer D, Bride
