“To say I found my go-to makeup artist is an understatement! I booked Gabriella twice this year! Both of my makeup looks were amazing and exactly how I wanted. As someone who never wears makeup, Gabriella made sure I felt and looked my best! You will never be unhappy with her work and should book her ASAP! I'm going to book her for all my events this year and next!”

“Not only was the makeup beautiful, but also she was a careful listener and knew what my sensitive skin needed. She even went the extra mile to provide product recommendations and pamper my skin with clean products. Gabriella’s work is beautiful and thoughtful. I’m thankful I met her and I hope to work with her again.”

"After my makeup artist canceled on me, the photographer introduced me to Gabby. I AM SO GLAD SHE DID! As soon as you meet her, she makes you feel comfortable. I told her what I was looking for, a simple look...GABBY KILLED IT!! I honestly felt as if I didn't have makeup on. 11/10 RECOMMENDATION! You will not regret it!"
"Gabriella is such a talented makeup artist! "
