Makeup by Susie

aft. Not only is she beyond professional, she’s such a personable, funny, and a calming presence! I booked Susie from Los Angeles and flew up to Northern California for my makeup trial. She was flexible in my limited timing and gave me a relaxing reprieve during a jam-packed weekend of trials/tastings. Susie made me a true partner in the makeup process, pausing often to get my input. After the best trial glam I could ever imagine, I knew Susie was going to knock it out of the park for the wedding day! She took the time in the weeks following the trial and leading up to the wedding to check in with me to determine if I had any changes to the makeup vision. And on the wedding day, Susie showed up with it still dark outside, bright-eyed and positive to support the makeup of myself, 8 bridesmaids, and my mom. WOW! She was diligent and routine with getting through each person, and stayed meticulously on schedule. If I remember correctly, I think we were even finished ahead of schedule? Plus, our makeup all looked fantastic and stayed all night long through eating, champagne, and dancing! Susie is a gem, she’s truly an amazing talent and a bright light. Thank you so much Susie for making my wedding glam so perfect!

. She was free for my day, yay!!! I can't tell you how excited I was for that. Susie is amazing at what she does and goes above and beyond! She's a beautiful person inside and out. All of my girls just loved her too! Thank you, Susie!!

g until I cried my eyes out with the gift from my husband to making last minute adjustments with ease. She is honestly amazing and I could not have asked for a better person to spend my morning with before I married the love of my life. Throughout the entire process: booking, figuring out pricing with travel, trial at her adorable home studio and finally the big day, she has had the most incredible communication. I found her work online and connected immediately. The entire process was so stress FREE. Looking our best on the big day was honestly the last of my worries because of her professionalism and caring heart! I can’t say enough about her!

an artist, and she knows how to make every woman look good...even for those who don't normally wear makeup. She is worth every single penny. It's worth checking Susie's availability before you book your venue wedding date...she's that good.

maid of honor barely wears make-up and Susie did such a great job of glamming her up but making sure she still felt like herself. My make-up lasted all night, I was amazed! Susie is punctual and she stays on time. She also is so kind and has a genuine interest in getting to know everyone she meets on such a personal level. My bridesmaids still talk about Susie! She is simply the best.

drated, she guided me through taking care of a wedding day blemish (classic!) and she even helped me pick out my earrings last minute! (I brought several options and needed help deciding). She made my mother and aunt feel their absolute best too. She is extremely talented and pleasant to work with. You will not regret hiring Susie for your wedding day.

ds feel so special. Every one of my bridesmaids mentioned to me that their experience with Susie was the best MUA experience they have ever had. She would be an amazing addition to any special occasion. <3

in making you look BEAUTIFUL on your special day and/or any occasion! You truly won’t be disappointed in going with Susie! I look forward to using her for future events :)

such a big deal, but she calmed ALL my nerves. She is seriously the sweetest person and not only made my make-up dreams come true but she made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day which is so important! She gave me exactly what I asked for and even gave great recommendations when I didn’t know what I wanted. You will not regret working with Susie. Seriously, do it. :)

t - her and her team on the day-of made me and my bridesmaids feel SO special. She blended in so well with my friend group and we had so much fun just chatting all morning. Her energy made my morning-of so special. I was also a little worried about timing since I had 11 people getting their make up done, and it was no problem. She did such a great job keeping everything on time and everyone looked amazing. Very grateful for Susie - if you're looking for a make up artist in the Sac / Tahoe area, look no further. Just do it. 10/10 recommend!!!

goes on. She listened to my requests but also elevated my vision into the most beautiful version of myself. My bridesmaids all raved about their makeup as well and all looked beautiful. I felt confident, beautiful, and sexy on my wedding day! I feel like I truly gained a friend from this experience and highly recommend Susie!!!

p was perfect each time. The day of my wedding she made me and my bridal party feel beautiful. She was fun and sweet and made sure each girl had their make up done as they wanted. Even with all the happy tears at my wedding my make up didn't budge! My make up was perfect without looking or feeling heavy. I even slept in it and the following day it still looked brand new. She is THE BEST! I highly recommend her!

she is unbelievably talented at what she does. I had one of bridesmaids ask if it would be ok for her to do her own makeup before my wedding...that quickly changed after she saw my first bridesmaids makeup. They all had their makeup done and were amazed. Every one of them came up to me numerous times saying "Wow! She is amazing." She made us look absolutely gorgeous and my mother and mother-in-law were blown away. Susie is truly a gem.

ure we were are all super happy with our makeup, which was really easy since she did such a fabulous job!

nd open to any of my suggestions that she made me feel instantly comfortable. What I loved most is that on my big day, Susie made me look like the best most elevated version of myself which I'm forever thankful for. If she's free for your wedding, I totally recommend you snag her!

eryone and anyone looking for a makeup artist! Thank you so much Susie for being the best!! ❤️❤️

old friend. She makes sure to take all of your ideas and skin routines into consideration before she starts your makeup. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that my bridal party and I looked AMAZING! Once you sit on her chair, you know she is going to take care of you! She makes the entire experience so comfortable and fun! My bridal party received so many compliments on their makeup! Everyone also loved my makeup and it lasted all night long! I didn't want to remove it in the end! Thanks, Susie!

endly... she ensures that you get the look you have in mind while also offering suggestions or adjustments. She was timely and had great communication. I love that when you look in the mirror when she's finished that you still look like YOU, just the best, most put together version of you. I can't recommend Susie enough!

on even after already having a wedding that morning! She did amazing. My favorite thing she did was eyeshadow but she did great with it all! I would highly recommend her for any event you want to feel gorgeous for ♥️

roughout my planning process, and she was sweet as candy. She took my vision and ran with it, and the end result was better than I ever could have imagined. You will not be disappointed!

were ahead of schedule al day which any bride should know day of time is precious and being ahead of schedule was the best thing! She’s reasonably priced, honestly she should charge more.

thankful to my wedding planner for suggesting her and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist in the Sacramento/Bay/Tahoe area. Susie traveled to Lake Tahoe for my wedding this past week and was able to capture the unique beauty of each of my bridesmaids and my mother. We are so happy we chose Susie and will definitely find a reason to work with her again!

ful) and truly made me feel like the best version of myself, which is exactly she said she aimed to do. I highly recommend Susie for your big day!!

Tahoe/Reno area because of their makeup style and their pricing! Susie was much more affordable and in my opinion more talented than those in the area. Even easier to contact and communicate with! We were not disappointed. She did an incredible job! She did my makeup, mother in law, and three bridesmaids and we all were so in awe. Her technique was flawless, and we all felt absolutely glamorous. Thank you so much Susie! Such a sweet soul with amazing talent!!!

day, AND my makeup looked beyond what I imagined it would.

ly did I feel beautiful, she made my mom and all of my bridesmaids look absolutely GORGEOUS -- I mean, WOW!!! Everyone looked truly stunning; the makeup looked classic, flawless, and natural -- no "makeup masks" with Susie. :) The makeup lasted all day long, even after lots of happy tears and breakin it down on the dance floor for hours. :) Her talent is undeniable, but what also makes Susie so special is her kind, sweet, thoughtful demeanor. She is a wonderful person who will make you feel so special and relaxed throughout the entire process. She's organized, helpful, and always goes the extra mile. If you want the best of the best, hire Susie!!!

nally, I was scrolling through Shines Photography and saw this beautiful photo of a bride: natural, pretty tones, even... stunning! I tracked down the makeup artist which was Miss Susie Castilone!! She's as sweet in email and she is in person! She was great at communicating, and on right on time. Susie rocked her way through all my bridesmaids, and everyone LOVED their makeup. She is more than a vendor, she has become a friend and I refer her to everyone!!! You will not regret booking Susie.

eautiful! Susie is amazingly talented and I would highly recommend her!
