    Denekia did an amazing job on my makeup for an event I attended in California. She was professional, thoughtful, and hygienic throughout the entire process.

    She created a beautiful soft glam look that felt effortless, not overdone at all and I received so many compliments! The makeup looked natural and comfortable all day.

    As an aesthetician, she also took extra care to protect my skin, ensuring it stayed hydrated and that the products she used were gentle on my sensitive skin. That attention to detail made such a difference.

    I highly recommend her! It’s no surprise she was named LA’s Makeup Artist of the Year — and after my experience, I can...read full review

    I went in to get my makeup professionally done. Denekia's attention to detail was impressive. She took great care to use the features i already have within my face/eye/cheek etc. & accentuate them in a way that enhances my natural beauty. She showed me multiple types of looks where she has transformed peoples faces/bodies into a variety of ways that range from natural to runway type looks & some more eclectic looks that went from gory Halloween makeup to artistic, very tasteful, whole body painting. Her range is so diverse and has extensive scope in all things beauty. A plus is she knows how to make looks for both sexes and i thought that was just so great! She is absolutely so creative and well versed in the wide range of services she offers and knows how to individualize the services for each unique skin type and all the variables that come into consideration when applying to different people. And that's just what she knows! Besides knowing that you will get very well taken care of, you can tell that she takes very good care of the products she uses and the makeup tools by separating the tools while & after she uses them. And also cleansing the face and lips prior to putting any makeup on. Her system brings peace of mind with her mindfulness in each step of the process to take care of you but also take care of each client that will be using the these products. This is so key and crucial and you can see her professionalism shine through in this and every regard.Her makeup/skin services station is just soo cute, but besides being chic and aesthetically pleasing she just absolutely makes you feel comfortable within her space, and at ease with her. She also has curtains for privacy when getting certain areas treated.I had gotten my makeup done for a birthday party, and the makeup lasted through many hours of dancing, and yes even sweating! I felt absolutely gorgeous because of her. She really is an artist. The products she used felt good on the skin. You can tell she uses high quality products because you can literally feel the difference. She's a cosmetic chemist and mixes multiple shades to create your own shade to match the color of your skin perfectly and matches the different brands so that the ingredients align well. You can tell there are many variables that come into play when doing what she does. With this in mind, the makeup did not feel heavy on the skin. It felt quite breathable, fresh, and weightless. It felt like a second skin. She is that good. I would highly recommend you to try her out. Her personality is just absolutely something you can vibe with. You'll see what I'm saying when you meet her and get all glammed up.​
