"I couldn't have chosen better! I felt like a princess... the makeup turned out exactly as I dreamed! I was worried about the red lipstick but you showed me that the red worked perfectly. I felt super confident, and my makeup lasted all day. Thank you so much for everything, you were amazing!" - Joana Elvas
