Romina Murillo

Romina is an outstanding makeup artist. I usually do not wear a lot of makeup, so I told her that I didn’t even know enough to be able to tell her what I wanted; instead, I showed her a few styles on Pinterest that I liked and I told her about my wedding dress and the overall theme. From that information, she did the most beautiful and fitting vintage-​style makeup. I got lots of compliments – even from my photographer! – and I never gave my makeup another thought!

Romina did my engagement photo, rehearsal and wedding makeup. She was great with all my Bridesmaids, and my Mom who isn’t used to getting her makeup done (very patient). She came up with the perfect look I was going for wedding day, and was there for touch-​ups too. Thanks Romina!

Romina was my makeup artist for my wedding on June 6. My original makeup artist had a scheduling conflict, and Romina stepped up only 2 weeks before my wedding to make herself available for my big day. She even offered to do a makeup trial the day before the wedding just so I felt at ease. She did a spectacular job and was very mindful of what I asked for. I felt so pretty as a result of her hard work, attention to detail, and raw talent for makeup. I highly recommend Romina for any special event you may be needing your makeup done for.

Romina is Santa Barbara’s best kept beauty secret and a make-​up miracle worker.
My wedding was at a vineyard in Los Olivos, and I couldn’t find anyone to do my make-​up at a reasonable price nearby. I am so grateful that my wedding coordinator recommended Romina.
I had trouble reaching her at first, but I finally scheduled a complimentary trial with her and loved her from the beginning. Her warm personality helped calm my nerves on my wedding day and her technical skills made me feel absolutely beautiful. Her rates are reasonable and her work is exceptional.
My make-​up was the one thing I didn’t have to worry about on my wedding day. It lasted all day and night without any mishaps and I looked like the most beautiful version of myself. She kept it fresh and natural as I requested, and I received a number of compliments from guests. I would have paid her more than double what she charged. She’s really that good. I highly recommend Romina for any special event make-​up needs.

Romina did my make up for my wedding (along with my mom’s and sister’s) and did such a fantastic job! She truly made us all look like our best selves. She was also very reliable, showed up on time, and was fun to have around while we were all getting ready. I just can’t say enough great things about Romina!

Romina Murillo is a lovely person. She is so enthusiastic and willing to be helpful. She uses the highest quality cosmetics and is known for creating a very natural look. Her brides look glowing and beautiful. As a Santa Barbara wedding officiant, I can only say great things about Romina’s artistry.

Romina did my wedding makeup and also my mother’s and mother-in-law’s makeup. She did fantastic jobs and all three ladies were so happy and looked beautiful! She focuses a lot on bringing out your natural beauty. We all really appreciate for her approach, because we like simple look, and usually wear minimal make up. We all looked great, but not like being different people that our guest will not recognize us anymore.
Not only Romina does great work, she is such an professional. She is on time, calm and focused. Really, for your big day, you really do not want to worry about an extra thing (there are already too many things to worry about!). Romina is a perfect person to have in such occasion…
After she finished my mothers’ make-​ups, she did mine, and I asked her to do the individual eye-​lashes application. Wow, these things take time and are so tricky! But Romina was so focused and so calm, professional, and my eyes looked so natural and beautiful… I felt so beautiful! The make up also lasted for whole evening even though I cried so much. I do not know what her magic is… but whatever it is, she really does it right!!!
In addition to that, she charged me nothing to do 2 (yes, 2) try-​outs. She was so nice to spare her time to listen to me, and I did not feel like I need to compromise anything. (it was a great experience after being charged $$$ by a hairstylist for the tryouts that I liked nothing about it)
I was so happy that I had Romina for my wedding. Cannot thank her enough!

I get my make up done every so often. its a luxury that some people don’t believe in, but trust me, its worth it. if you had to attend a special event and you wanted to look your best, would you want to stress out about your make up? NO! it’ll stress you out and in the end, your skin and make up wouldn’t mesh together and you end up looking like a hot mess anyway!
and what if there’s photos being taken? i’m sure the last thing you would want to think about is if your foundation shade is matched perfectly. or if the foundation you’re wearing is going to make your face chalk-​white with the rest of your body perfectly tanned, because of course… the tan is something that people think is more important than make up.
anyway, as someone who gets their make up done more than the average human being thats my age, i can say with confidence that if you’re with Romina, you’re in good hands. She takes direction very well and if you don’t think that you can describe what it is that you want, bring a photo. she is extremely patient but she’s also very swift and quick. She really does bring out the natural beauty with minimal make up, but don’t worry… she can do the smoky eye and more daring looks as well.

Romina provided the makeup for our daughter’s wedding. She did a magnificent job providing age and color appropriate looks for the bridal party as well as the mothers of the bride and groom. She was very patient working through the trial runs and completely unflappable on the day. Extremely personable and with a very calming approach to her work she was a complete joy to work with. I would highly recommend her services!

I was in a wedding this past weekend and the bride treated us to a make up artist. Romina was great! Did all of our make up true to our personalities. We all looked great and the bride looked stunning. I believe she works at the Trish McEvoy counter at saks so you have to find her that way and she does do house calls.
