Makeup By Rada

Rada is an AMAZING makeup artist! I’m extremely picky when it comes to makeup and who I go to for makeup. She is by far the best makeup artist in queens! I will only go to her for my makeup. She really listens to what the client wants and is great at what she does. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Aside from how amazing my makeup came out, the best part was how she got there early, was very professional, very kind, and made me feel comfortable on my wedding day! Rada is simply amazing and made me look and feel beautiful!

Working with Rada and her assistant has been on of the most unpleasant experiences.I had made an appointment for a bridal trial months before my wedding to get a feel and understand what kind of look I wanted. Two days before the confirmed date, Rada’s assistant emailed me and had to cancel and re-book for the middle of July, a month and a half away!! I wish I knew how unprofessional and inconsiderate they were at that time, I would have cancelled my trial and took the $150 deposit as a loss. The day of my trial, Rada’s assistant called last minute and changed the time. Rada then showed up to the trial 45 mins late. Regardless of this, I told her that my large pores and acne scars were one of my most concerned areas. Rather than speaking about what type of products she should be using she recommended I get laser treatments. Which maybe she did not have any bad intentions, but if she was not confident enough doing my makeup and could not give me the results I was looking for, she should have told me in the first place. She began by commenting on my eyebrows and started to “shape” them with a tweezer. I did not understand why they needed to be shaped for a trial. After tweezing few stands she told me that it would be an extra $30. I wasn’t even asked id I wanted my eyebrows tweezed. I was thinking she was going to do them for the wedding, which is what I had answered on the questionnaire that was sent to me to fill. During the trial, Rada paused many times to go on her phone, which I think was very unprofessional. She did not mention any of the products that she used nor did she ask me if I had any preference on products and color. I told her I wanted contouring, but I did not even have the slightest contour on my face in the end. Once my makeup was completed , I felt rushed and unwanted. I had a quick glimpse of my makeup, paid her the remaining balance and left. She told me to get a feel for it and see how I felt couple hours later and email her assistant to go forward. Once I got back to the car I looked in the mirror and realized that my makeup did not look as I expected. My eyeliner was not even and my face and neck color did not match. I believe that these are the main core aspects of makeup and a professional should be aware . I mentioned that my pores and acne scars were a problem but she did not do anything to cover them even in the slightest way. Doing my own makeup, I can achieve better results than what she had done. By the time I drove from Queens to Long Island( 45 mins away) my makeup was already gone. My face was shining and my foundation was cakey and patchy, I was devastated with the results I had. By 10 pm ( 6 hours after) everything was terrible and my face looked like I only had very dark eye makeup. The following day I emailed Rada’s assistant to voice out my concerns and issues; only to get the most unprofessional response back. Rather than asking me about my concerns and how they can address them, she responded “I am sorry to hear this. Rada said that she provided two hours of her time doing the trial and you seemed to love the look. If you had any issues you should have addressed them at the time of service....this is what trials are for. If Rada is not the artist for you, I am glad you were able to determine that before your wedding day and not the day of.” most awful experience I have ever encountered. unfortunately I think she’s more Concerned with making money than satisfying her bride.
