“She styled my hair for a photoshoot, and it looked amazing on camera and in real life. I felt confident the whole day.”
Laura M., Arlington Heights
EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Posted on Christina ScalesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved my makeup yesterday! She was so professional, talented, and really listened to exactly what I wanted. My makeup looked flawless in person and in photos, and it lasted all night long. I felt so confident and beautiful for my event, and I got compliments on my makeup and hair all night long. There was also a scheduling issue that I truly believe was on my end, but she was incredibly kind, flexible, and still honored my appointment without making me feel uncomfortable at all. That level of professionalism and understanding meant so much to me. Her space and setup were also extremely clean and organized, which made me feel very comfortable and taken care of. She made the entire experience fun, stress-free, and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist and will definitely be booking again! ✨Posted on Agapia PritskerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So it’s my second time at this studio with Sveta and it’s my second win! I got so many compliments about my make up and hair even from my husband too which is kind of a big deal lol Took crazy amount of beautiful pictures and videos and most of all felt confident like never before! Highly can recommend Sveta without hesitation she is your master for any occasion ( mine was weeding and birthday party !)Posted on A. PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am truly grateful to have found Svetlana. She is the epitome of professionalism, with a level of expertise and consistency that is exceptionally rare. Having worked with her across six events in the past six months, I can say with confidence that she has an intuitive understanding of my aesthetic and executes each look flawlessly. Her talent is undeniable, but what distinguishes her further is her impeccable standard of cleanliness and precision, an often overlooked aspect of this industry. Svetlana is gracious, patient, and meticulous in her approach. I recommend her without reservation for any event requiring the highest level of care and artistry.Posted on Юлия РагозинаTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my makeup done for a photoshoot and I’m really happy with the result. It looked clean, natural, and still stood out on camera. She listened to what I wanted and adjusted everything to fit my face and the vibe of the shoot. The makeup lasted the whole session without any issues. Overall, very professional and easy to work with))Posted on Adelina MorozTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For the first time in a long time, I truly love my reflection after professional makeup and hair. I’ve definitely found my go-to artist 💄✨Posted on Emily ZawartkaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly the best hair and makeup I’ve had done. I booked for my senior prom to have my hair and makeup done, it stayed up all night and didn’t budge until I went home to wash it off. Very very talented and I recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a MUA:)Posted on Stacy TantonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Svetlana was super flexible when I was running behind and made the whole process so easy communicating over text. She uses high-end brands and really takes the time to customize your look - so good at blending palettes and applying lashes. My makeup didn’t budge all night.Posted on Julia BaranskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Svetlana is amazing! I came to her for hair and makeup as a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. Both hair and makeup lasted all day and looked amazing in the pictures. I could not recommend her enough!Posted on Nadezhda DmitrievaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today I had an important event a photoshoot for the opening of a fitness studio. It was important for me to look fresh and have makeup that would look beautiful on camera. By recommendation, I went to Svetlana, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She is a very caring and professional makeup artist. I felt completely comfortable and trusted her throughout the process. The shoot went great, and my makeup looked amazing all day long. I highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back again! ✨Posted on DariaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m honestly obsessed with this look 😍 The makeup artist did such an incredible job — my skin looks flawless, fresh, and glowing without feeling heavy at all. I love how natural yet polished everything looks. The eyes are softly defined, the lashes add the perfect touch, and the lips are just the right shade — super elegant and feminine. And can we talk about the hair? 🤍 The styling is absolutely beautiful — soft, smooth waves that look effortless but still very put-together. It frames the face perfectly and completes the whole look. What impressed me the most is how long everything lasts — the makeup stayed perfect for hours without creasing or fading, and the hair kept its shape all day. No touch-ups needed, which is a huge plus! This is exactly the kind of makeup and styling that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and ready for anything — whether it’s a photoshoot, event, or just a day you want to feel your best. Definitely recommend if you want that soft glam, clean, luxury vibe ✨
