Welcome
Makeup By Berit - the right choice for your most important day
wedding makeup
My career in makeup artistry began after my own wedding and having personally experienced the importance of correct makeup for that day - creating an appropriate look for the event theme, feeling confident that the makeup would last all day and look great in photos, and most importantly, feeling like the most beautiful woman in the world on that day!
Working closely with each bride to understand the style of the wedding and her personality, we create a look that will not only be optimal for the big day, but will make her proud of her wedding photos for years to come. I pride myself in often becoming a beauty advisor to my brides in the process, working with her on all areas of beauty prep for the wedding and beyond. I have worked with several talented local hair stylists that I can connect you with, so I can be your one-stop shop for beauty services.
not just weddings
Weddings are the big event when most people turn to professional for makeup services. However, there are many other occasions where a makeup artist can make your life easier, or provide some fun. Other makeup services offered include:
- Portraits and photo shoots
- Special occasion makeup
- Makeover parties
- Spa parties
- Makeup lessons
- Makeover consultation
See Services section for details.
studio and on-location
I work out of an ocean-view studio in Laguna Beach, a 3 minute drive from the Village and Main Beach. Usually, consultations take place at my studio and I will come to you for the wedding. Some prefer to come to my studio before the wedding; it is spacious and has a calm atmosphere and we can provide to-and-from transportation to make your day as hassle-free as possible. I can also come to you for the trial if you are short on time during wedding planning.
