Makeup by Paulina Perez

What can't I say about how amazing Paulina is?!?!Paulina went above and beyond what she was "hired" to do (I had to quote hired because Paulina has become more like a friend than anything). She did my make-up four times: in a trial (where the quality blew away the previous trial I had done), for our engagement pictures, for the wedding, and again for our "day after" session.I knew Paulina was my make-up artist when, even for the trial run, she was making sure every single aspect of my make-up was absolutely perfect. She kept working on the skin under my eyes to make sure it would cover up the proof that I hadn't slept much the night before. It took her longer than if she had just ignored it and left it at "good enough", but she wanted to make sure it was perfect when she was done. The way she applied the make-up made my skin look absolutely flawless, and I've never had so many compliments on how blue my eyes are until I was wearing her make-up. I looked and felt like a princess on my wedding day.As far as responsiveness goes - an e-mail or phone call never went unanswered from Paulina. In fact, I think I can only remember one time where Paulina didn't immediately answer her phone when I called, and she called me back 10 minutes later. Her e-mail responses were always prompt. And it goes without saying, she was always friendly and extremely helpful. If I had a million things I was stressing over before I called her, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulder by the time we were done chatting. She has everything together!In addition to the quality of her service and her professionalism, Paulina is the sweetest person and so much fun. She was playing games with my bridesmaids and I just before the wedding began (to keep me distracted so I wouldn't focus on how nervous I was!). She even ran my veil up to my room at the Casa Marina right before we were to be announced at the reception because I had forgotten to take it off. And she's always chatted with me more like a gal-pal than someone who is just there to do a job.I can't say enough wonderful things about Paulina and if I tried, I assure you I would fill up this whole page. I am convinced there is no better make-up artist in the Jacksonville area, and probably not even the world ;) Paulina is truly the best!!!!! Love ya girl!!!

Paulina did an amazing job on my make up for both my trial run (for engagement photos) and my wedding day. I look forward to using her services again in the future.

I first met Paulina when she did my makeup as a trial run for my engagement photos. She took her time, but was efficient and attentive. She did a great job and gave me tips the whole time on what I could do on a daily basis. I knew as soon as I looked in the mirror that day she had to do the makeup for my wedding!! Paulina did not only mine, but my entire bridal party plus my mother and mother-in-law. She worked quickly, but made sure everyone was happy with their makeup. She was sweet and fun and a pleasure to work with. I wish I could have her do my makeup everyday!!! :) I constantly see her name on work she's done online and in magazines and am continually impressed. On a day when you need to look your very best, Paulina is who you want doing your makeup!

Absolutely amazing job! She was able to do my makeup exactly how I wanted and I loved it!

She is awesome!!!

Paulina did an amazing job helping my mother look beautiful for her 25th Anniversary Vow Renewal event. She showed up on time and worked very quickly and efficiently. My mother received compliments all evening on how beautiful she looked and how many years younger she appeared. Paulina made her still look like herself, but also made her feel her most beautiful and look her best.

Paulina Perez was awesome to work with. She was very nice and flexible. It was very important that my make up was perfect on my wedding day and thanks to Paulina i looked just how i had always dreamed i would. She was on time, creative and lovely to work with. I highly recommend Mrs. Perez!

Paulina makes you feel very comfortable--like you've known her for years. She is fun and funny and brings along great tunes:) She is a true professional and a very lovely lady.

I not only looked like myself after my make up was done, but a better version! You brought out what features I asked you to. I Looked stunning as well as all the other bridesmaids, and THE BRIDE couldn't have looked more beautiful! You did a wonderful job with listening to everyone's wishes and implementing them to give them the look they wanted.

You were amazing! Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my big day!!! :)

So helpful, sweet, professional and does GREAT work!! Very accommodating and generous.

Paulina was awesome...I felt completely beautiful on my wedding day. The airbrush foundation was perfect...the weather was very humid and I danced alot but I felt that my make up stayed on and looked just as lovely at the end of the evening as when I walked the aisle. Also, she brought fake eyelashes which looked amazing- very natural. Both of these features resulted in beautiful photographs!

Paulina is great and always does amazing makeup. She is flexible in regards to time and what the client wants (as far as the look they are going for). My photos turned out amazing thanks to her work...I would have never been able to make myself look like that :) I would definitely recommend her to any future brides.

I cannot even begin to express what an amazing experience we had with Paulina. Her professionalism, talent and can-do attitude made what could be a very stressful day, flawless. My bridesmaids adored her, she made my mom feel like a movie star and she made me feel gorgeous and I know I had made a perfect choice! Not only did she do a beautiful job with all the makeup for the bridal party, she also made my tattoo disappear! (A Grandma's dream come true! haha) I would absolutely recommend Paulina to any friend for their professional makeup needs! Thanks lady!

Absolutely perfect! Paulina is so kind and is amazing at what she does! My makeup looked flawless for my wedding day!

Paulina did my makeup and my bridal party's makeup for my wedding last March. She was absolutely AMAZING! My makeup was perfect - my skin looked flawless, my eye makeup was gorgeous and really made my eyes pop! Paulina is super sweet and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her for your special event!

Paulina is just a pleasure to deal with and her end results are spectacular! She is super easy to work with! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a make-up artist that gives beautiful results, is professional and adds a personal touch. I will definitely be asking Paulina to work her magic on me anytime we have a special event or professional photos taken. I just love her!

Paulina was always on time and prepared for either a trial or the wedding day application. She has extensive knowledge of the application and use of makeup. She made me look amazing on my wedding day and applied makeup in a way that I never could have.

I would have to recommend Paulina Perez to all brides looking for a beautiful change for their special day. It was so nice to have someone glam me and my bridesmaids up and my photos turned out amazing. I loved that I felt like I had no makeup on at all and she gave us a very natural feel. The makeup stayed the entire night tears and all . I was so exhausted on my wedding night and passed out and still woke up the next morning looking flawless. Thanks Paulina you did a amazing job!

Paulina listened to every word I said - and I had a mouthful as it was my wedding day make-up lol! She took it all into consideration and had some ideas of her own as well. the consultation was fabulous and she took her time making sure that everything was just the way I wanted it! I couldn't have been happier! On my wedding day, she did make-up for my Mom, my Maid of Honor and myself and we were all extremely pleased with the quality of products she used, her professionalism and the quality of her work. Paulina definitely deserved the title of Jacksonville Magazine's Best Wedding Make-Up Artist of 2009 - and will surely continue to win this award year after year.
