    What can I even say — finding Souad was the best decision I made! I was looking for a makeup artist who was professional, soft-spoken, and truly understood my vision. I had contacted over 10 artists for trials, but none of them gave me the right vibe. My wedding was in Glendale, so I initially searched only in that area — but once I widened my search, I came across Souad on Instagram, and I’m so glad I did! She did a beautiful soft glam look and was kind enough to offer multiple trials to get to know my skin and preferences. This made me feel so comfortable and confident leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, she did my makeup, my mother's, and my mother-in-law's, and every look was flawless. The makeup lasted all day and night without needing touch-ups! Souad was also incredibly thoughtful and gave me the products I needed to retouch my lipstick if needed. She was so punctual, arriving ahead of time and making sure we were all ready on schedule for the most important day of our lives. Thank you, Souad, for your magical touch and for giving me the best makeup I’ve ever had on my wedding day.
