Monique Powers Beauty Boutique

First of all, this woman is gorgeous! So she shows up and you say " can you make my face look like yours! :-) I was very exciting when I saw what a beautiful job she had done on her own face and I wanted pure glamour and beauty for my wedding day too.Monique spent a lot of time on our test run, making sure I got exactly the look wanted and i didn't feel rushed or pressured at all. Her knowledge of makeup is extensive and she has everything you could need in her box of tools! Plus some extras! :-) On the day she arrived nice and early and made me look and feel beautiful. My wedding guests commented on my face all day. I especially love the shades she put on my eyes. Made them pop.She was super easy to talk to and I felt like I had know her for years. A really, lovely, sweet person and I would recommend her to any bride for her wedding day, or any special event you have coming up. You will not be disappointed.

She's a little pricey, but she's worth it. Monique did a great job with me, and her assitants did an amazing job with all the girls. We only had one person who didn't like her hair, but over all it was still good. The only thing I thought was a little bit ridiculous was charging the full 75 dollars to do a flower girls hair! she did manage to bring the price down to 50 because all the little girl was going to have was a few curls, but she did look very pretty, so even 50 was okay!I would definitely recommend Monique to all of my friends! She's great, very sweet and easy to talk to. Plus, if youre of a darker skin tone like I am, she totally gets skin-tone matching, and you wont end up with a powdery-white or purple face. Everyone said I looked Flawless! Thanks Monique!!!!!!!!!

Monique is a great balance of professional and personalized service. She was responsive to all of my needs, even providing services on a cruise ship at 5am! Highly recommended!

OMG, all my fellow San Diegans need to call Monique to have the their make-up done if you want to look flawless on your wedding day. My now hubby thought I was crazy for driving to LA to meet with Monique for my make-up trial...but when he saw me on the wedding day he understood why. I chose airbrush make-up and I was extremely happy with the results. I danced the entire night at my wedding and my make-up still looked good at the end of the night. Monique arrives with alll her equipment and ready to rock and roll. My bridesmaids and myself looked fabolous and have to thank Monique for that. We all have had make-up done when you don't look like yourself or it looks caked up. That was never an issue or problem with Monique. I highly recommend Monique for your professional make-up needs. Thanks again Monique for everything you did for me and the gals!

I absolutely loved working with Monique! She is very professional and showed up before her scheduled time the day of my wedding and was completely set up and ready to go the minute my hair was finished! I was very picky and specific about what I wanted that day and she handled it with patience and did an amazing job :) Thanks Monique!

Thank you Monique! She is by far, one of the best make up artists out there and they are hard to find. Monique is not only gentle on your face but, she is also very detailed and perfects her work. I got so many compliments on my wedding day and I have Monique to thank. I will definitely stay in touch and continue to recommend her services - I was referred to Monique by a friend who also had her wedding make up done by her. You are the best!!!

Monique did my make up for my wedding to days event. I was very happy with work she on time , personality and her professionalism definitly I will use her service again and I will be recommanding her to friends and familThank u again!!!!!!!!

I was married on Setpember 17th, and Monique did my make-up as well as my maid of honor and my mother's make-up. She did an amazing job, and was very easy to work with and professional. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a make-up artist. My make-up lasted all day, even through a few tears. Monique definitely has her own unique style. She is also very accommodating to those who are not used to wearing a ton of make-up. She is not cheap, but definitely well worth it.

I decided to contact Monique after watching her video on her website and seeing the before and after images of women from different ethnicities on her site as well. I just felt I got a really good look at her work and felt comfortable booking her. She was very professional, sweet, and very reliable. I requested a last minute time change and she was able to make it on time with a big smile, ready to work. I booked her for two days (2 day wedding) and provided her with examples of very different styles, one for each night. She nailed both looks! I was very impressed and received tons of compliments. I would book Monique again. She made me feel very comfortable and made sure I feel completely satisfied.

Monique is an angel and a one of a kind artist. I would highly recommend all of her services.

Let me start of by commenting on Monique's personality. She is funny and sweet. I loved talking to her while she was getting me ready. You will fill so calm, because you can trust her skill, she's so talented. My makeup was fabulous. I never looked that beautiful in my entire life. I couldn't stop staring in the mirror. I didn't bring any pictures I just told her I wanted my eyes to stand out, and she did. All night I was being told how blue my eyes looked. She's a class act and super talented. You will love working with her. Also, at the end of night, after dancing ALL night, makeup was still in place perfectly and I virtually forgot I had lashes on. She's the best.

First I'd like to comment on Monique's disposition, because on your wedding day you want to be surrounded by happy and pleasant individuals. Monique is genuinely sweet and kind. She was so awesome to talk to and has a very calming sense to her. It's kinda like sit back and relax, because Monique is gonna work her magic. And she does, incredibly. I felt like a million bucks! I can't even count how many times I was told how gorgeous I looked and that I was radiating. That all came from how confident I felt. Before I left for the ceremony I could not stop staring at myself in the mirror, I never felt that beautiful in my life. I, like many of you have had your makeup done, maybe at a MAC once or twice, let me tell you, going from that to Monique is like going from the Best Western to the Ritz Carlton. She is 100% percent worth the money, you will look amazing, your groom will go crazy when he's sees you for the first time, and also super importantly your photos will be perfect. I thank Monique from the bottom of my heart and hey she's not Knot's 2011 makeup artist of the year for nothing.

I cannot begin to describe in words what an important and crucial role Ms. Monique has played during my wedding.Her God-gifted talent, skills, intensive experience, wisdom and compassion proved to be a true blessing in my life.I could not imagine my wedding day without Ms. Monique being a part of it. Hiring her as my wedding make-up artist is hands down, the best "wedding" decision I have made. When I first started the wedding planning and budgeting, I have to confess that I was going to go cheap on the makeup. I am so glad I didn't go that route. I had initial appointments and interviews with two fairly inexpensive artists and was really not happy. Two things are extremely important to me. 1) Cleanliness 2) Ability to "paint" the picture I had in mind. No one was able to live up to my expectations. My needs were very specific. My skin-tone not the easiest to work with. All I have to say is finding Monique was the answer to a lot o prayers! Her studio is extremely clean and she made me feel comfortable from the moment we met. I learned that she is a skin-care specialist on top of being an amazing make-up artist and I started on an immediate skin-care regiment under her care. All of that was absolutely worth it and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The day of the wedding, Monique arrived ahead of time and far exceeded my expectations. The end results were so much more magical than my trial before and I was blown away by the trial even! Every single person I talked to, remarked on how amazing the make-up was. I can still here the words resonating through my head. Now, weeks after the wedding I am continuing my skin care regiment with Monique. She is not only a true artist, but am amazing healer and she has a client for life. I hope she gets a chance to do my daughters make-up on her wedding day! As a woman, I know how much of my day to day work and career is affected by how I feel about myself. When I feel beautiful, I feel confident and when I feel confident, I succeed. This is your wedding day. You want to feel likke the most beautiful woman that ever walked the planet. The pictures that will be taken are pictures that your great grand children will see some day. Invest in the best make up artist you can find...Invest in Monique Powers and I promise you this review will make sense on your wedding day. This will be, the best decision you will make.

Monique did an amazing job with my wedding make-up/airbrushing! Everyone commented on how much they loved my flawless make-up. I did not have to do any "touch-ups" AT ALL with her airbrushing. I was afraid that throughout the day my face would become oily, but at the end of the day it looked as good as when she first got done :-) A couple of weeks before I had also scrapped my elbow really bad and then new skin was pink and very noticeable and she covered that up as well with airbrushing- love it! I was VERY satisfied and would recommend Monique to anyone.

Monique did make-up for me and my bridesmaids on 8-20-2011 and it was absolutely perfect!! She is a wonderful artists and a very sweet person. She made me look and feel like a princess and is a extremely gifted professional! You will not be disappointing with her services! Loretta

monique is the perfect makeup artist. I never looked so beautiful. The makeup last all day long and the quality of the products was exceptional. All my bridemaides looked great and all of their makeup was catered to their skintone, texture and personal vision they imagined. Monique was on time, reliable, provided her undivided attention to my needs. She made the makeup portion of the day flawless.Chanta

For my big day I had Monique Powers do my makeup as well as my mom's and we both LOVED it. We both got complements all day:) Monique is awesome!

Monique is very professional and friendly. She made getting ready for my wedding so relaxed and pleasant. I definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!

I first met with Monique a few months before my wedding for a tryout, I was very impressed with the attention she paid to detail, she took her time matching up colors till she got it right. I usually get professional makeup done for parties and other special occasions but never like this. On the wedding day, she arrived early with a smile and attitude that put me at ease amidst the pre-wedding chaos. My makeup was flawless...I felt more beautiful than I've ever felt, my husband and most our guest couldn't stop me how beautiful I looked. We partied till 1:30AM and my make was still perfect at the end of the day.I would recommend Monique to anyone. she's definitely the make up queen.

Monique Powers is truly amazing! I had a two day wedding extravaganza and hired her to do my make up both days. I have never received so many compliments. She was on time, friendly, fun and hooked me up with a perfect set of eyebrows to boot! She deserves the highest praise. No matter your skin type or style preference, I'm sure Monique can give you the look you want. I went in to do a trial session and she allowed me to make tweaks once she was done. She took meticulous notes and on the "day of", my make up was exactly how we had planned during the trial session. I felt confident for my photo walk around downtown LA. It was middle of summer and all I had to do was blot my forehead when I got a little warm. No touch ups necessary!Hire her, Ladies! She's worth every penny!
