Makeup by Paulina Perez - Jacksonville, Florida

The MBPP team that did our hair and makeup on my wedding day was by far the most fun, chill, prompt, professional, and insanely talented team I've ever met – and I've been in several weddings this year! They made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom look absolutely radiant and we all felt so confident the rest of the day. Also, the fact they had time for touch ups after working on 13 women was honestly so impressive. As the bride, I wanted to make sure both my hair and makeup were perfect going into the day and they completely exceeded all expectations. I've never felt so beautiful in my entire life! I would 100% book again, highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience working with Makeup by Paulina from the trial session to the wedding day. They are extremely professional and I can tell their true goal is to make you feel stunning on your special day.
On the trial, I had a language barrier with the makeup artist I was assigned. However, she was very talented, professional and understanding. When I reach out to them they were kind to me and listened carefully to my vision. They didn’t add additional stress and quickly matched me with another artist that speak Spanish.
On the big day, I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca and Natalie. They arrived right on time and was able to get both myself and my bridal party ready without any delays. Everyone felt comfortable and looked stunning. Rebecca created the perfect soft glam look, giving me a flawless, glowing complexion. My husband and I loved how natural it looked and it lasted all day. The artists were able to pleased everyone unique style and kept a cohesive looks for all of us, without us requesting it. In the wedding party pictures you can see this and it looks amazing.
I highly recommend Makeup by Paulina, for anyone looking for professional, on-time services with beautiful results!

Kim was absolutely wonderful at doing my makeup for a professional headshot. She got a sense of what I wanted and added her expertise. I also appreciated how she gave me a few tips for my everyday makeup routine. I felt beautiful at the end, that it was just enough makeup, and that the choices she made complimented my face. She is very skilled and professional and cannot recommend her enough.

I do not have the headshot yet but saw it and love it - Thank you so much to Kim and Makeup by Paulina Perez!

I booked with Christie for makeup and Chelsey for hair services for myself and my three bridesmaids on my wedding day.

Logistically, everything went well. We all loved our makeup by Christie and felt like she absolutely listened to our preferences and goals. Her work photographed beautifully.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for our hair services. We decided to switch from updos to half-up hairstyles on wedding day to accommodate the wind and humidity that were both out of control that day. I asked for boho-style messy curls with a braided crown that would accommodate my veil. What I got was a bump in my hair that honestly looked terrible in every picture, and made it impossible for me to wear my veil. I just honestly hated it and was so disappointed that it looked nothing like what I had in mind and was not consistent with the boho style we used for my trial. Also, my hair did not even remotely stay put (despite my clear concerns about needing a wind-durable style), resulting in two massive humps on the top of my head by the end of the ceremony.

My bridesmaids had similar feelings. They kept describing themselves throughout the day as Cinderella's evil stepsisters because of the outdated bumps in their hair and weird style of arranging everything.

If I had to go back, I would use a different hair stylist. However, we absolutely loved using Christie for our makeup!

I could not have asked for a better team than Paulina, Natalie and everyone at Makeup by Paulina Perez. On my wedding morning they did my hair and makeup along with my eight bridesmaids, mother and mother in law. All of us felt and looked beautiful thanks to their talent. They really listened to everyone to understand their style and typical makeup routine, this way even though everyone looked special for the big day they still felt like themselves. They were professional and timely and assured we were all ready on time which was important for a big group and a 2:00 ceremony. They were also such a fun group and really added to the excitement in the room on wedding morning. In addition to the wedding I also used Natalie and Paulina for my engagement photos and bridal shower. Each time they listened to my ideas but elevated them to perfection. Each look was different but equally as beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more and cannot wait to work with MPP again.

I had my hair/makeup trial with Natalie and Jess - I'll be honest I left feeling strange, not like myself (no fault of the ladies). So I contacted Paulina and she got me a re-trial, from which I left feeling more beautiful and confident than ever. At that very moment, I knew that I had made the right choice because all I wanted was to feel like myself at my wedding. The day of the wedding I was so incredibly sick but these women were so amazing and made it look like I hadn't had the flu for two weeks!!! In addition to my hair and makeup I also had 3 bridesmaids who all looked STUNNING. Not only are Natalie and Jess incredibly talented artists, they were there early and so much fun to have during the pre-wedding shenanigans! I really can't say enough good things about the team I had for my wedding day.

The whole team at Makeup By Paulina was amazing to work with! I did have a few changes and add ons closer to the wedding date and they made sure to accommodate me, no issue. Paulina and Chudni did our makeup and hair and they were awesome to work with, giving us suggestions and tips. Our makeup and hair turned out beautiful and we're so happy they were a part of my big day! I would 100% recommend Makeup By Paulina for your Wedding or event! <3

Total pros! Would highly reccommend to any Bride. Me and my bridesmaids all looked amazing thanks to Paulina and her team! From the makeup trial in her adorable studio to the hotel room where we all got ready on the big day I knew I was in very capable hands. The hairstylist was a magician! I have never felt more like a pretty princess than on my big day thanks to these ladies! Would give a hundred stars if I could!
