Makeup Artists in Oceanside, CA

Just made account September 5, 2023 **I DONT do color** I DONT do cuts** I DONT DO HALLOWEEN OR SPECIAL EFFECTS **** **PLEASE DONT MESSAGE ME IF YOUVE MESSAGED OTHER ARTISTS. If you want to book with me I can get you booked. Every time a client messages me I get charged $20. But they also message other artist. So if you don’t book with me I lose $20. And sometimes I have 4-5 leads and they end up going with someone else so that’s an easy $100 loss. So if you are serious about booking please take this into consideration. I care very much about making sure you have an artist for your event . Thank you. Love and light to you. ** Hello, my name is Mercedes. Mother of 2 wonderful boys ages 13 and 7.
