Makeup By Sonora

Makeup By Sonora is a freelance makeup business run by Sonora in Mesa, Arizona. The studio is at 7565 E Eagle Crest Dr, Suite 201B, and the business is open by appointment Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sunday. The business does not offer hair services.

Bookings cover bridal makeup, special event makeup and makeup trials. Bridal makeup is applied traditionally with brushes and sponges and can take up to 60 minutes for a full session. It begins with skin prep using moisturizer and primer, then color-matched foundation, bronzer and blush, followed by lip liner and lipstick, mascara and faux lashes, eyeliner shaped to the eye, and setting spray.

Special event makeup uses the same brush and sponge method and typically takes 35 to 45 minutes, or up to 60 minutes for a full session. It suits proms and homecomings, engagements, bachelorette parties, photoshoots and holiday looks. Makeup trials let clients talk through and explore styles before the day. A trial is required for all brides and is recommended three to six months before a wedding. A 10 to 15 minute consultation is available to go over the details of an event, and an appointment time is held once it has been discussed and scheduled.

The business aims to leave clients feeling beautiful and radiant by enhancing their natural features. A gallery of makeup examples, including eye makeup, is available to view. One client review describes the artist as very affordable, according to that review.
