Dearest Maira,
Thank you so much for the beautiful make up you created on me.
I was initially worried about going to NYC from Singapore for a bridal photo shoot as it may be difficult to find a make-up artist that is good with Asian faces. But my worries were unfounded! You were amazing and I love the make-up and hair that you did!
I must say, you are the first make- up artist that kept asking how I feel with my make-up on, if I felt comfortable with it, if that was me – it is so personal that you ensure that I felt like myself with the make up on. Kudos to you!
The make up feels light yet looked so amazing. I love the hairstyle you did for the photo shoot. I wish you are working in Singapore so I can always go to you for my make up and hair whenever I have parties to attend!
You are a cool lady, a real professional with great interpersonal skills. I felt so at ease with you immediately… together with your seamless make up & hair skills… the perfect make up artist I must say!
Thanks so much for making the photo shoot a success for Jason & me. Even more so for going that extra mile to take care of all of us that came from miles away. It really meant a lot to have someone who only knew us for 2 days be so helpful in a foreign city. It certainly made our photo shoot most memorable!
I hope there will be plenty of opportunities for me to recommend you to anyone in NY! Stay in touch! =)
P.S I can’t wait to see the photos from the shoot! The sneaks you have in you blog is getting me all excited again! And when you come to Singapore for holidays, remember to let me know! =)
Love,
Wei Pei TAN
Hi Maira,
After this experience I definitely want to get into wedding planning so you won’t be hearing the last of me! My mom and I are seriously going to create a business model and set up our own business. I LOVED planning my own wedding and think that we would be great at it, and you’re just the sort of vendor I’d love to work with over and over again! You were so beyond professional, yet fun and talented at the same time. I can’t thank you enough for not only the job you did with me and listening to my concerns/style, but the job you and your team did with my bridesmaids. Everyone looked so stunning and I got SO many compliments on how they looked all night.
By the way, my make-up didn’t budge all night. It looked as fresh at 11pm as it did at 11am. Seriously, you’re AMAZING!!
Warmest regards,
Delima Hornstein
I am a band leader for Starlight Orchestras so I see a lot of brides and mothers of the bride. I am also a recording artist and actress who has performed on television and in live concerts for over twenty years. In all my years of experience of working with hair and make up stylists, Maira Ortiz is by far the most talented. Beyond the skill and artistry that evident in her work, her professionalism and genuine care for her clients is truly touching. She really listens and understands the vision of each bride (and all her clients) and knows how to achieve the look they want.
For my own wedding, of course, Maira was my first and only choice. The concept that we discussed was perfect for me; fresh and chic. Maira instinctively created the best look to compliment my gown and also my own style and personality. Every time someone told me how beautiful I looked I told them that Maira was the fairy godmother who had worked her magic on me!
Maira also was the hair and make up stylist for my mother. Everyone said that it was the most beautiful they had ever seen her look and I have to agree. My mother looked stunning. First, Maira’s warm and charming personality put my mom immediately at ease, which was a blessing in itself! Then she worked her magic, as she always does.
You can have complete confidence in booking Maira Ortiz for your hair and make up. Know for certain that you will look absolutely gorgeous and be really, really happy.
