  • TM's Makeup Artistry was amazing!  Timsi was amazing throughout the entire process from trial to the day of.  She is extremely professional, hygienic, and so friendly!  Throughout the process she was quick to respond to my questions, and accommodating to my requests.  At my trial she was able to make great recommendations in order to achieve the look I was going for (like hair extensions for length and volume).  She took pictures of hair and makeup that I found on Pinterest and was able to recreate them perfectly.  Even when I had a few suggestions for changes to the hair and makeup she was so accommodating and did not take offense.  On the day of the wedding she showed up right on time with her beauty team, and got straight to work.  Timsi was so calming to be around, and did a phenomenal job with both my hair and makeup.  I thought the trial was amazing, but the actual product was just stunning!  I also want to speak to her beauty team that worked on my bridesmaids and the two moms.  They did a phenomenal job as well!  All of the girls looked so beautiful, and they were able to accomplish the looks that each girl wanted.  They were all very friendly and professional.  I highly recommend TM's Makeup Artistry for any event you might need hair and makeup for!

  • My husband and I eloped in Napa and did all the planning from thousands of miles away.  I did a TON of research on everything from venues to makeup artists.  I'm SO happy I came across Timsi.  She and her team did an amazing job with hair and makeup for me and my girlfriends.  I really can't say enough good things about her.  Sweet, perfectionist, professional, and committed to making her clients happy.  Trust me, I've done the research, and she is hands down the best option and totally affordable!  Thanks Timsi!

  • I'm SO glad I was able to find Timsi through Yelp! I had 8 weeks to plan my wedding, and I wasn't too familiar with the wedding planning process here. I used Yelp for a lot of my vendors, and Timsi was such a great find. Timsi is so sweet and professional! She came in at 4am to get my hair and makeup set up for my 8am wedding. We didn't get the time to do a trial, but I was really happy with the way my makeup turned out for the wedding! She even managed to do a hair and outfit change + makeup touch up in an hour before my lunch reception. Everyone was complimenting my look for the wedding, and she definitely played a big role in dolling me up for my big day. 

  • Thanks for the memories, Timsi! I look forward to having you do my makeup on other occasions :).

  • I booked Timsi for my two day wedding event. A natural traditional South Indian bride look, a Nepali bride look for the ceremony and a formal look for my reception. I absolutely adored her work, she made me look and feel beautiful on both days. I am still receiving compliments! Timsi, I believe is a rare find in her industry, she is not only impeccably professional, punctual and organized in her work but she is also super friendly and so much fun to be with. She helped me through the wedding process with sound advice, calming my nerves and adjusted with all the changing timelines and needs. What I liked best about her was she spends time to get to know you and your needs, she never pushes you, something most other vendors tend to do. This made a huge difference on the big day to help me carry myself confidently. Thank you again Timsi, for making my special day extra special!

  • I would highly recommend Timsi to any bride looking for make up. She can do both Indian and Western looks. Her Indian looks are actually really unique in that they are very "natural" looking, which is exactly what I was looking for. She was also very flexible in that she looked after my mom despite us giving her a only a week's notice! She also sold me one of her lip kits so I didn't have to pay extra shipping costs to buy it from the supplier. She was also one of the easiest vendors to communicate with and would always respond super quickly. She also helped us find other vendors for things we hadn't lined up yet. I can't say enough good things about her!

  • She and her team were fabulous.  She is very organized and we were both completely pleased with our hair and makeup and we weren't particularly good at saying what we wanted.  I was afraid of not looking like myself or being too fancy looking.  This was not the case at all.  It looked great but natural which is a hard balance to find.  We loved her!

  • I got to know about Timsi (TM's Make Up Artistry) via yelp as I was trying to find some one talented as well as affordable for my bridal make up. After approaching so many vendors and beauticians, I came across Timsi's profile and work. I simply loved her work as displayed on yelp and her website, so I had my mind set on her :) and I had my first conversation with her.
    Right from our first conversation till today, she has been professional, welcoming and friendly at all times.
    She is pretty flexible with all the needs. 
    - She understands and helps scheduling/rescheduling appointment date and times based on how busy we get with wedding prep. 
    - She understands last minute delays and running errands for wedding prep and adjusts accordingly.
    - She understands the last minute 's panic and anxiety and she takes care of you like anything. 
    The best part about her is she knows what she is doing. So, you can totally rely on her for your main day :). 
    - She is systematic and super organized with her work. She will send you documents well before hand that helps you to be prepared for trial sessions as well as for the main day make up.
    - She knows what would suit your skin the best.
    - She realizes based on your hair length and texture, what kind of hairstyle would suit your face and dress.
    - She keeps asking about how we feel about the make up and hairstyle to consider the bride's comfort zone at all times.
    I had lovely experience getting my bridal make done by her and I would recommend her to all the couples out there that are looking for bridal services and packages.
    She is simply the best. Thanks once again Timsi for everything :).

  • I booked Timsi for a party makeup in honor of my husband and I as newlyweds and honestly was quite uncertain about what to expect from her. I was so incredibly surprised and excited about how wonderful she was to work with since I had not heard of her services before and was used to working with referrals only. Her responses to my requests were incredibly prompt and thorough, her advice was sound, and she follows your vision to the T. 
    She did my hair and makeup and I got compliments all evening for it. We gave her a picture of what my mom wanted for her hair and she was able to mimic it and make it look even better than the picture! I think that goes to show how dedicated she is to ensuring her client's happiness with the end result. 
    I think my favorite part about her is her cleanliness. She never double dips, she always uses new brushes, she sanitizes everything, and she uses professional products. I have gotten my makeup done so many times, but she is by far the cleanest and neatest professional I have worked with. I fully intend to book her services again and recommend her for future brides!

  •  I am very pleased that I used Timsi's services for my special day. Timsi is not only a great artist, but knows how to do it with ease and with professionalism. I got in touch with her after seeing her reviews online. So, thanks to all of you who took time to write reviews!
    The whole experience of working with her was very pleasurable. I will share about a few of my pleasant experiences of the day..
    First and foremost, she is quick to respond. Even though she was in India, she took time to answers all my questions. I can distinctly remember that we managed the call despite the time difference and that too when she was to board a flight back to the states the next day.
    She made sure that she understood the expectations and kind of makeup I was looking for; and she made sure I was comfortable especially on the day of the event. It didn't feel like I was working with her for the first time.
    The make-up simply fabulous!! It was exactly like I wanted it to be and I was complimented for it by almost everyone who attended the event. I will undoubtedly request her services for my future needs.
    Thanks Timsi for making my day extra special with your extra special work!!

  • Timsi did Makeup and Hair for our wedding ... YES... it was a double wedding.... She did the make-up and hair for two brides (me and my sister-in-law) in like 3-4 hours, and she did a very good job. She just had one assistant -who did my hair (she did a great job as well) and Timsi did everything else all by herself ...pretty impressive :)... She is amazing and very efficient. We loved her work .... she made us look like queens :) everyone loved our look.....Also It was fun to work with her .....I was the difficult one to please but she made me happy ;).... Thanks Timsi for making us LOOK beautiful on our special day... Good luck :)

  • I was very happy with Timsi's work and I would highly reccommend her. She did my hair and my makeup for my wedding and the reception. She is very professional, and very easy to work with. She takes great care in understanding what her clients want. She knows what she is doing, so you can be assured that you are in good hands.

  • I found Timsi for my engagement ceremony and I'm really happy that I found such a wonderful person to work with for the special day. Right from the beginning, Timsi was very supportive and understanding of what I wanted and made sure that she was available for my important day. The makeup and my hair job was flawless and my photos turned out amazing. The compliments were endless :) What's better is that she is also a wonderful person and she made sure I was very comfortable through the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

  • My makeup and hair person cancelled  on my the day of my wedding.  I found Timsi on yelp and she came to the rescue both for my wedding and reception. She was sweet and took her time  to ensure  I was  happy and I was so happy  both days and received  tons of complements especially on my reception  day. Thanks to her I didn't have a melt down. Thank you Timsi!

  • Absolute Joy to be pampered by =). Timsi is so talented and detailed in her work. I felt like a Princess on my Wedding day thanks to this talented lady . She's a wonderful person & fun to be around; really listens too to your input if you're not comfortable w/ something. Pretty sure she could remake any makeup idea that you give her, but she's the type who is truly an artist and has that foresight to create a more "beautiful" you by enhancing your features etc. The {very beautiful} hairdo & makeup lasted all day & well into the night! Thank you so much, Timsi. So glad I found you =)
    (~also, communication w/ her, you just can't beat. And she will make sure that you like the look that you're going for ;)

  • Timsi made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. From the trial to the actual day, she was extremely professional and easy to work with. After a previous trial left me feeling deflated, Timsi was able to give me back the confidence I needed for my wedding. She was knowledgeable in working with my thick hair and knew exactly what I was looking for in makeup. I especially appreciated her responsiveness and preparedness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist/hair stylist for any special events. I will definitely be asking for her again! Thank you Timsi!

  • This is a long overdue review for Timsi. So, I was looking for MUA 2 weeks before my wedding date (talk about last minute planning!) and Timsi came to my rescue!. This was the best thing that happened to me. She answered all my questions over phone/text very promptly and put me to ease. Timsi was kind enough to come to my place for trial in the evening, that is after I got back from work at 7pm. 2 things that really stood out for me is the balance she achieves between what I wanted and her creative side - she is super at that. She will understand everything that you want in terms of makeup shades/hairstyle and will be open to suggest if something may not look good on you. And the other thing - she will continue till the minute the client is happy. Love her commitment, she actually spend more time during trial than on the day of wedding. In that way we had my look nailed much in advance. She was such a sweetheart that she even helped pick out hair accessories and giving me constant assurance that everything is falling in place (you know the jitters that every bride has on the wedding day). To be honest she was my maid of honor even though she could not make it to the ceremony. Timsi thank you so much for making this day so special for us, making me look so fab and for being such a wonderful friend!

  • Timsi is awesome, she is professional and she knows what she is doing! She will do great makeup at any event!
    - Kelsey Jackson, July 2015 | Genre: Evening Glam PhotoShoot, Model

     

  • Timsi was great at working according to my schedule. Her make-up skills were indeed very professional and classy. She gave me multiple makeovers to try how I may look in them. We even tried on couple of Indian outfits to see how well the makeup coordinates with the outfits. Timsi's ability to style hair is great as well. I love how she tries out different looks in a fashionable manner. She is quick and passionate in what she does and I love that she cares for her customer's opinion. If you dont like something, she'll fix the problem for you. She is very adjustable and friendly!!

  • I had almost given up on getting a good makeup artist, when I decided to do a trial with Timsi. She is one of those rare makeup artists who can make you look beautiful in person as well as in the pictures. She did a wonderful job with both my hair and makeup for both my wedding and reception. So many people complimented me on how nice I looked! She is also a really nice person and fun to work with. She is very organized and asks a lot of questions beforehand so you can get the look you want for your big day. She is also good about being punctual. What I found especially nice was that if I wasn’t happy with a part of my look, she was willing to change things till I found a look I was happy with. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with parts of my hairstyle at the trial and we talked about it and she was able to improve on it greatly during the wedding and reception. At the same time, she was ready to put her foot down if she felt strongly about certain aspects of the look, and I’m glad I listened to her on these aspects. In addition to all of this, she has a calm composure, which puts you at ease in the middle of all the chaos that comes with a wedding. I would definitely recommend Timsi makeup and hair services to any bride.

  •  Early this year, I visited the U.S. for a few months and towards the end of my trip, I decided to pamper myself a little and get a portfolio photoshoot done. Since, I always fancied wearing a pretty white gown I thought this will be a good opportunity to experiment and add a couple of different style and looks to my beauty album ;-) and that's when I researched & contacted Timsi.! My experience with her was wonderful and we had a great day doing all different looks. She is an amazing artist with a keen eye for detail! She also went above and beyond her way to get dresses organized for me since I had no clue about how things work in the U.S. and even recommended a great photographer. That was extremely sweet of her .Thank you TM's make up artistry for making me look beautiful and confident .!

  • Timsi is a superb makeup artist. We performed Bollywood dances for a big cultural event in the Bay Area. The event was attended by 800+ audience. Timsi was the makeup artist for this event. We were a big group and time was limited. But, I was amazed at how patiently she went on with her work taking care of finer details and accommodating everybody's requests including those of kids. We were very satisfied with the end result. She is a great person to work with and I'll definitely love to work with her again.

  • I can vouch for Timsi's work. Go ahead ladies, it's worth a try.

  • Timsi is a true professional. From the moment I met her to the time she was done with my makeup, Timsi had a smile on her face and did her job enthusiastically! The makeup itself had an original take about it; and was fresh, natural and neatly executed. I recommend her to anyone who wants value for their money.
