“Huge thank you to Marin for doing my bridal and bridesmaid’s makeup for my wedding! My bridesmaids and I felt incredibly beautiful and it was all thanks to you for doing such an amazing job. You are so easy to be around and made us feel so welcomed, relaxed, and truly ourselves. I had so many compliments throughout the day on my makeup. You did such an amazing job of keeping our natural beauty while also making us feel all glammed up. My bridesmaids told me they’d never felt so beautiful.”
