Beauty Affair - Los Angeles, California

Update on review:
I recently took Agne's beginner 1:1 makeup course and had a wonderful time. She is patient, kind, and has a genuine love for makeup and beauty. She truly cares about teaching you as well. She is the best teacher you can ask for. Super patient, encouraging, and positive. I learned about techniques to use my hands to apply a beautiful daytime look. Who knew that I was applying mascara and powder wrong for years and years! I highly recommend her course to anyone looking to learn more about makeup techniques. Thank you to Agne for a fun, enjoyable, and educational course. I am excited to take another course with you in the future!

Prior review:
Agne is one of the top makeup artists/hair stylists in Los Angeles and the owner of Beauty Affair. I booked her for my engagement shoot and am so happy with my decision! She made me look and feel so beautiful! She is incredibly talented and one of the sweetest people you will meet in your life. Agne truly has an eye for beauty, is detail oriented, and will make you look like the most gorgeous version of yourself! She was so easy to talk to and make me super comfortable while I was getting ready. I had such a fun time chatting and getting ready with her! She checked in with me throughout the getting ready process to see how I was liking things and we really worked as a team to give me the best look. I had sent her some inspiration photos beforehand and she truly exceeded my expectations!

I have gotten so many compliments on my hair and makeup from friends and family. The makeup was exactly what I was looking for, glamorous but still looked like myself and did not feel too heavy or cakey at all. The hair was so romantic and perfect. The waves and twists of the half-up style lasted all day! I have a bad tendency of oxidizing various foundations, particularly because I have fair and oily skin; however, the foundation she applied was perfect and matched my skin tone amazingly. I did not look orange or yellow. The makeup looked great even multiple hours after the shoot was over. I was so happy that my fiancé loved my hair and makeup too!

Beyond her top notch beauty skills, Agne is such a kind and caring human being. After my hair and makeup was done, she even helped me get into my 4 inch heels, which was quite a tricky task once I was already in my form-fitting long formal dress. She even helped me pick out the best jewelry to wear from a few pieces I had brought along. That was very sweet of her and I really appreciated that she went above and beyond.

I have booked Agne and her team for my wedding day as well and I'm so excited to work with her again! I highly recommend her!! Also, if you are looking for an incredible photographer, her husband Tomas (the Big Affair)is the best photographer!! We could not be happier with him and his stunning, timeless, and romantic photos. They are the best team and we are super grateful to get to know and work with them both.

I took a 2 day professional makeup class with Agne. It was an amazing experience. She was full of knowledge and so helpful throughout the whole experience. She had beautiful models to work on and a great set up!
I would highly recommend for any professional looking to further or grow their makeup career.

My daughter and I had our makeup done by the amazing Agne for a recent graduation party as per a friend's recommendation. Agne is incredibly skilled and talented as a makeup artist. She has such a love for what she does, and is super professional and is a gem. Both my daughter and I had such a fun time while Agne worked with us and transformed our faces. We loved how Agne did our makeup so much that we are signing up for classes this summer to learn more about technique. We cannot recommend Agne enough!

I had a “red carpet”-type event to attend in Hollywood that included celebrities and others who would undoubtedly use the services of professional hair and make-up artists. I didn’t want to show up with DIY make-up and hair. I found Agne through Google. She did a fantastic job with my face and hair — just enough glamour for the occasion. I felt so much more confident heading to this event than I did when the invitation first arrived and I thought, “What am I going to wear? What am I going to do with my hair” I just wish Agne could be here every morning to get me ready for the day.  If you have a special occasion, do yourself a favor and let her do the work of making you beautiful!

Pa did my hair and make-up for a Gatsby themed party. I thought she did a great job, and I got sooo many compliments on my hair in particular? Agne coordinated everything and was accessible by email and phone and was flexible with me on options of where to get the service done. If I need hair or make-up in LA again, I'll definitely use them and ask for Pa

Agne's makeup class and presence is an exceptional experience overall. Her professionalism and background in the industry are proven through her workmanship and craftsmanship.

I was intrigued with her techniques using our hands to apply a daily look. She helped me understand the color theory aspect of matching colors to my skin tone that would compliment me. It went beyond skin tone. She also helped me identify the shape of my face and eyes according to a chart that was provided. These charts indicated what technique of highlighting/contouring that would highlight my face structure best.

I gained so much insight. Thank you, Agne, for your wisdom and welcoming presence in your safe haven cove. You curated an open, safe space for us to go beyond skin deep into our perceptions of beauty.

WOW!!! I can't say enough about Agne's work. I had my makeup and hair with her for our maternity photo shoot a month ago. She is both a skilled professional and a really fun person to be around! I loved the look that she created for me, and I also loved how she encouraged me to give feedback on exactly what I want.

Not only did I look fabulous after my makeup and hair, but they actually lasted 12 hours plus! I also got a lot of compliments from people after our photo shoot.
On the business side, Agne is a true professional. She is extremely responsive and organized, and one of the greatest artists to work with. Plus, she's very fun to be around and every interaction with her is so positive. I would highly recommend her anyone, and can't wait for our next event!

Agne is exceptionally talented! She recently did hair and makeup for both myself and my daughter for a red carpet. I’ve never felt more beautiful! Her work was flawless and I received so many compliments. She is a beautiful human being both inside and out. Sitting in her chair, connecting with her all while she worked her magic was such a gift! Thank you Agne!
