Monica Cortes Beauty Bar

Monica was my chosen make up artist for my sister's wedding and I was so happy with the outcome. The make up lasted well throughout the whole day. Even in the full sunshine I did not need to retouch my makeup at all. I have used several make up artists before but Monica did an absolutely amazing job. Thank you so much Monica. I would highly recommend.

Monica did my makeup for an event & then I did a 1:1 lesson with her because of how happy I was with my makeup. Not only is she a competent makeup up artist she is an excellent teacher as well. I feel very confident now to do my own makeup up & play around with different make up. She takes the time to explain how to look after your skin to begin with so your make up looks flawless sitting on top of your skin. Highly recommended, easy to talk to, friendly, professional, clean studio. 10/10

Monica did my hair & makeup for my wedding recently as well as the hairdo for my 5 bridesmaids. I absolutely loved both my hair & makeup, and she managed to make my "vision" a reality perfectly, all the while juggling to get 6 ladies ready for the ceremony on time. Not only is she an extremely talented hair & makeup artist, she also helped me calm down as I was feeling quite nervous and overwhelmed by walking down the aisle, so she was an absolute pleasure to have around! My bridesmaids including my 7 year old niece also adored their hairdos. I have never felt more beautiful and confident as I did on my wedding day, and I can warmly recommend Monica's services for any future brides as she'll make you look and feel like a million dollars!

Absolutely beautiful natural lashes, expertly applied by Monica who is warm, friendly and professional. I even fell asleep getting them done it was so relaxing! Gorgeous, quiet and relaxing space. Highly recommend.

Monica recently did my hair and make up for my wedding reception and she honestly did the most amazing job! She listened to what I wanted, made professional recommendations based on my skin tone and hair type, and ensured I was comfortable throughout the process. On the morning of, she was a calm and friendly presence - putting all of my family at ease. I couldn't recommend her enough! I've attached a photo of my make-up from the trial we did as it captures it really well. Hair from the day of - holding up amazingly even in the misty rain! (photo by Kitty Wheeler Shaw)

Monica was amazing on my big day! With starting early to get my bridesmaids hair completed before doing my hair and make up along with keeping me calm and making sure I was OK throughout! Honestly cannot thank her enough for everything she had done and make me feel beautiful and confident for the entire day. Highly recommend her for any event!

Monica gives the best lash lift and tint you'll ever get - highly recommend! I've moved away from the UK, but if I were still in Brighton, I wouldn't go to anyone else. She's truly the best in the game!

Monica is such a talented lady! She has a very pleasant personality and made me feel at ease. Our communication from the time I booked with her up to the day of my appointment was seamless. I was very hesitant to have my hair and make up done as I didn't want to look overly done...however, she made some miracles on me that day! I felt like a million dollar and very very pleased with the outcome. I trusted Monica and her expertise. I wish to have the same experience with others too one day, but this is going to hard to beat! Thank you so much and yes, my husband and daughter loved the whole new me!
