Blushmi Makeup by Michelle Nguyen

Michelle was so sweet and wonderful to work with. She understood what I wanted and delivered it on my special day. I couldn’t be happier with the results. She used great products that was perfect for my sensitive skin.

Michelle was so great to work with! She came highly recommended from my fave makeup artists in San Jose. I wasn’t able to fly down to Southern California for a makeup trial with her before my wedding day, but she did such a fabulous job day of! I completely trusted her. I just showed her some photo inspiration and she worked her magic. Her team was also wonderful and efficient considering I had 8 bridesmaids. Would highly recommend!

It’s nerve wrecking for me to get my make up done as I am not a girly girl and I feel my face and features just cannot carry a lot of make up. I pretty much thought I can NEVER achieve those dramatic before and after transformations — it would be nice to have the option though. So I gave up on going for fab and glam and accepted that my face is made for natural, and fresh and only natural and fresh make up.
Then, I had Michelle do my make up. For some reason, she is able to work wonders whereas no one else (thus far) have been able to. Here’s how it went down. She asked if I wanted smokey eyes, and I said «no can do» because my eyes can’t pull it off and that’s what I have been told by a make up artist in the past, and that’s how I felt too. She reassured me that it can be done, but I was still nervous. My lids tend to look saggy and droopy with heavy shadow. She reassured me again — because she’s also patient — that she can lighten it up, or even start over if I want. So I went for it! What an eye opener literally and figuratively! My eyes looked bigger and not saggy and wow, I guess I CAN get a before and after transformation too. She is also a perfectionist. Like a true artist, she mixes the colors to blend more naturally, and hide my imperfections (many, many of them) because I think it bothers her more than it does me. I also saw her at work on others in the bridal party and let me tell you, she is such a professional in all regards because she won everyone over with her easy going and comforting personality. Plus, it helped that they all loved their hair and make up, but honestly, they wouldn’t have been as daring if it weren’t for the fact that she won their trust like she did mine. I hope she doesn’t get too busy because I want dibs!!! =)

Michelle is awesome! She is very professional at what she does and I can see that she love at what she do by how much time she puts into her work. Her make up and hair do’s are different for each individual because everyone is different. Michelle knows what will look great for you. I always trust her.

Michelle is one of the best makeup artist out there! She’s professional, punctual, and always knows what’s best for each person. As a makeup artists, I am very picky when it comes to referring clients to other artists, but since I found Michelle, she has been my go to artist. Clients are always satisfied with her work and appreciated me sending them her way. She is located down South but has bookings in the Bay so she continuously travels back and forth.
