Artist went above and beyond for my wedding day. She was flexible, diligent, and most importantly, caring. She made me feel beautiful. She was always paying attention to how I was feeling and would check in with me as she did my makeup. I cannot recommend her enough. She is definitely my lifelong makeup artist

I called on Britney with only a few mins to work on my face before I had to be on live camera. She understood the assignment and hustled to make it happen.

​Glamo Lush provided makeup services for my daughter’s wedding, and to say they were phenomenal would be an understatement. From start to finish, Kenna was caring, professional, and deeply dedicated to making sure everyone looked and felt their best. ​They truly went above and beyond to make the day seamless and stress-free for the entire bridal party. Their talent, attention to detail, and gentle warmth made a world of difference during such an important milestone. I cannot thank them enough for their incredible work. If you are looking for a makeup team that is as skilled as they are compassionate, look no further than Glamo Lush! Highly, highly recommend!
