Honest/Open-minded/Kind First Service

My four friends and I got ready at the Luminous Studio before my Van Dusen Mansion wedding. The studio was spacious, and the folks at Luminous were kind and authentic. It felt like I was working with people who put their heart into making their clients feeling comfortable and heard. This is THE wedding makeup studio of the Twin Cities to come to if you want to be heard as a client.

The perfect makeup experience for my big day!

Thank you SO much for your make-up wizardry for me and my attendants on my wedding day! It was a small affair, so getting the chance to pamper my ladies was so special. You were so gracious and professional to work with.

Absolutely amazing!

Betsy & her assistant did a wonderful job for myself and 6 bridesmaids. The makeup lasted all day! They were super flexible the day off to accommodate any last minute changes! I absolutely loved my makeup & wouldn’t have changed a thing!
