    Monica did an incredible job!

    Monica did makeup for my wedding day and did an incredible job! I never get my makeup done and was worried about the process, but Monica's style made everyone's makeup look so natural and beautiful! I highly recommend Monica Stark at Makeup Santa Fe!

    Monica recently did my makeup for my sister in law's wedding. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and be around. The makeup was amazing and lasted all night through tears and sweat. I would highly recommend Monica for any makeup job. She was so professional and made us all laugh and enjoy the moments before the wedding even more. Amazing makeup artist.

    Monic Stark of Makeup Santa Fe is the ABSOLUTE BEST!

    Just back from my daughters wedding in Santa Fe,NM and I am overjoyed at the success of THE BEST DAY EVER.

    Monic was a big part of the team that was put together to ensure a successful wedding day. The artistry she provides is phenomenal!

    Every bridesmaid looked great and just like themselves.

    My daughter was stunning and so happy with Monica's work. Her Father cried when he saw her.

    As the Mother of the Bride I was thrilled with the way Monic did my makeup.

    After watching her work I am convinced she has sole access to magical fairy dust!
    (she is that skillful and talented)

    Monica is fun to be around and a pleasure to work with. In addition to all or her cases of makeup she brings Joy and Delight!

    Her pricing is competitive and reasonable.

    Monica is professional and easy going at the same time.

    I am so thankful she was available and willing to be part of "the wedding day team"!

    Monica is a pleasure to work with. Not only does she do incredible makeup, but she is hilarious and a fun person to be around. This definitely helps loosen the nerves before your wedding. She is professional and thinks of every little detail. She even provided mini touch-up bags for me and all my maids. Such a thoughtful gesture! I definitely recommend her for a wedding in Santa Fe.

    I can't say enough good things about Monica Stark and Makeup Santa Fe. She's an absolute rock star. I live in Brooklyn, NY and had a small destination wedding in Santa Fe, which I planned in about a month. Monica not only made time to do my makeup after an earlier wedding, she absolutely nailed it despite never having met me before or seen my dress. This is by far the best I have ever looked (good timing). She's also super fun! I would absolutely recommend Monica for any event!

    Monica did an incredible job applying makeup to me and to my daughter on her wedding day. Monica arrived promptly, was super efficient, and both of us walked down the aisle feeling gorgeous. Her products are the best, and her service is nothing short of flawless.

    Monica Stark is THE go-to makeup artist in Santa Fe. She is extremely talented and my wedding party enjoyed her professionalism, make up artistry skills and personality. What we all really loved was that she made sure to ask each of us about our every day makeup and found ways to incorporate our favorite looks (bold brows, bright lip, etc) into the final look. She came highly recommended by all of our vendors and I am so glad to have worked with her.

    For Monica Stark:
    My sincere thank you to Monica for doing my make up and my 11 year old daughter, Ally's make up for my wedding last month in Santa Fe.

    Ally loved being pampered with make up the day of our ceremony --and me too! I had so many compliments on my make up that it was perfect bridal make up, and as an older bride, that can be tricky not to look too made up. We're excited to get our professional photos back that will include b&w, that's where professional make up really shines!

    Monica is truly a student of her craft! Monica was so fun, she shared fun stories on celebs, which she stressed everyone should be "celebrated." Monica was the epitome of professional providing a "director's" chair and professional make up. She was speedy, on time and created a fun atmosphere in our hotel room helping us get ready. Her leave behinds of mints and touch up paint (as my daughter called it) of lip gloss were thoughtful to help maintain the look for the whole day.

    Thank you!

    Monica Stark is a firecracker of a woman but she does a great job making up a face! She made sure I and my wedding ladies looked our best AND looked like ourselves on my wedding day. She is responsive and professional. She included my makeup trial free as part of the package we bought so I could try her out. I think she does the best fake eyelashes in the best. I felt like a movie star. I HIGHLY recommend Monica!

    Monica is just a pleasure to work with, and did an absolutely beautiful job on my makeup! Which lasted all through my long, humid, wedding day. I received many compliments! She also redid my makeup trial at no charge when my overly sensitive eye had some kind of odd reaction after my first trial (no problems the second time; probably wasn't even the makeup but Monica wanted to be sure). A little pricey (though this is Santa Fe), but very highly recommend -- thanks so much, Monica!

    Monica did an incredible job with our wedding makeup. Every one of the seven people she beautified was thrilled – even my 86-year-old grandma, who has never looked prettier. She mostly applies individual lashes rather than strips, and they look fantastic. We barely even talked about what I wanted, and yet it was perfect. The absolutely incredible thing about her work is that it has miraculous staying power. She did my makeup at 9:30 AM and I looked perfect at my 5 PM reception – and even still looked great after sweating on the dance floor until midnight! I cried a lot through the day, and you truly could not tell. All of the girls were mystified! She is feisty and loves to talk, so if you’re nervous on your wedding day, don’t worry about making small talk – she’ll make it for you! I know her services are pricey, but if you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate – she’s worth it.
