“CJ is as phenomenal as they get. I rocked to his place without an ounce of make up and looked plain. Once CJ was done with me, my face was flawless, my eyes popped and were complemented by my lip color. CJ has an eye so that your entire look looks pulled together and remarkable. I have had other make-up artists work on my face before, with one eyebrow ended up thicker than the other or the eyeliner not being even on both eyes, so that I would have to then go and fix everything myself. Not with CJ. When he does my make-up it’s ready for those close-ups, its perfect! There is no one I would recommend more highly than CJ!” Liza C., Los Angeles
“I’m a photographer based in Orange County and recently had the chance to work with CJ on a test shoot of a young and upcoming model. In our pre-planning for the session, CJ was very clear and timely in his communication. On the day of our shoot he arrived on time and brought his complete kit prepared to transform our young model. We discussed options on our “looks” for the model and decided on three. The word that comes to mind when I think back on CJ’s work is… “precise”! Our model had a beautiful, matte foundation. His work around the eyes and lips was outstanding. He also did a great job with the models hair. He exceeded my expectations, you won’t be disappointed if you hire CJ for your make-up needs. Thanks for the great work CJ!” Kerry Loudenback, Light & Sand Studios

My make up and hair was perfect. I am a picky person with my hair and he exceeded my expectations. My make up was flawless and he truly made me feel beyond beautiful. My sister is getting married in 2 weeks and we have already made an appointment with him once again. If you want your day to be perfect, CJ is the person to hire.
