Makeup By Sunshine

I was recommend to Sunshine by a friend for my wedding makeup. I live out of town so getting a referral was really important. We got everything booked (day of and trial) and I sent Sunshine my $ 100 deposit.
When I was in town for my bridal shower I also had my trial booked at the same time. I originally was supposed to meet with her at 4pm on a friday. I was running a few minutes late and asked her to push it back about a ½ hour. She said she couldn’t do that so I told her not to worry I’ll be there buy 4 that I was rushing and she said then said that Sunday morning would be better but I could not do it Sunday morning. She said how about Sunday night and I said ok anytime after 5pm would work for me.
Come Sunday morning she sent me and email cancelling my trial. I was appauled concidering I was leaving to go back home Monday morning and that meant I could not get my trial.
Needless to say, I saw her later on Facebook having a beer with a friend when she should have been doing my make-​up trial. At that point, I kindly said that I didn’t think this would work out and since she didn’t hold up her obligation to do my trial that I would like my $ 100 deposit back. She agreed.
After months of trying to get a hold of her since I never saw my deposit I finally sent my last text message to her telling her how disappointed I was that considering she blew me off more trial and I had every right to my deposit back she simply sent me a message that said «I am not responding to this email as I would like to. Your measly $ 100 is in the @$%&#! mail. Quit messaging me». Needless to say, I never did receive my deposit, my friend ended having to get her hair down for free by Sunshine and then my friend paid me the $ 100.
I’m not sure in what world its ok to blow off a customer, not return her deposit which I nicely asked for back and then made out to be like my $ 100 is measly. If it was so measly she should not have tried to keep it!

Sunshine is great! She is wonderful to work with, her prices are reasonable and she has options for everyone! She came to our hotel to do my wedding makeup, four bridesmaids, and two moms! Plus everything was done on time. I had so many compliments on my makeup throughout the day and was happy that I booked airbrushing and eyelashes (and this comes
From someone who doesn’t wear makeup!). Would highly recommend. Plus, her name matches her personality!

Never was a bride before this, but I guess I just expected more! Two trial dates were canceled on me, one of which while I was standing on her doorstep and she forgot to call me to cancel. (in her defense, she was sick though).
We signed contract in late September or Mid October and on the DAY of the wedding she stated her ’ assistant’ made an error and the prices were different. That was pretty crappy, she should have honored what the signed contract was. In my eyes, she owes me 100.00.
Also, she was supposed to airbrush me. On the day of the trial (3^rd time we actually met), her airbrush was missing a piece; so at my trial (3 days before my wedding), I was not able to see what I would actually look like airbrushed. Then THE DAY OF THE WEDDING, the airbrush didn’t even work!!! This is why I feel she owes me a refund! She would not budge as she states her website shows the accurate prices, and the contract was a mistake made by her assistant. Then her assistant should owe her the money for her mistake, that is not the BRIDES fault. Mind you, I didn’t find her from her website, I was referred by someone and I emailed her personally not via website!
Prices for bridesmaids makeup are very reasonable, however.
I am livid and would never recommend anyone to work with her especially for their big day.

I found Sunshine by digging through wedding websites and I was soooo happy I found her!
Sunshine was a complete pleasure to work with. Her prices are very, very reasonable for the service that you receive, her work is just fantastic. One of my favorite aspects to her business is that she offers many options for everybody – she can do just eyes, foundation, cover-​up tattoos, etc so you don’t have to spend a lot of money if you don’t want to. Some of my girls did the full airbrush while others just opted for their eyes to be done. If you are a bride I highly suggest the airbrushing and eyelashes – I got compliments on my makeup all night long and it lasted until the next day!
Sunshine is incredibly easy to work with and very personable – she makes you feel at ease and wants everyone to be extremely happy with her work!
