I have never had my makeup done professionally, and I decided to try it for my wedding. Ruben arrived on time, was very professional, and just an all around sweetheart. He did a full face of makeup for myself and three brides maids. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time. I don't know how else to explain it except AMAZING. I have never felt more beautiful. The makeup felt light weight, and photographed so perfect! Thank you so much Ruben. You showed us how beautiful we could be.

Ruben Mua is by far the greatest professional make up artist ! I have been to many salons... artists.. and malls to have my make up done and my look was never perfect or satisfying. I was either too dark.. too light and my eyelashes would not stay on. I was bless to have Ruben as a make up artist. I showed him the look I wanted and in my mother's words he made me look better than the picture. Ruben has great communication skills.. displays his passion for being an artist..will take his time and make sure you are looking your best ! My mother.. sisters.. aunts and cousins said they will be booking him. My make up stayed on all day and night even after eating and drinking !He is definitely going to be our family make up artist from now on!

Ruben was amazing when it came to planning my makeup for my big day! He was easy going and flexible to accommodate my schedule. We did a trial and i was happy with my makeup. Little did I know he uses that trial to make it even better for your bid day! The day of my wedding, he was very punctual with his assistant. My bridesmaids and my mother looked beautiful! I loved my make up way more than the day of the trial! I would definitely book him again for any other time I need my make up done!

Cannot say enough about Ruben! Such an amazing person to work with. He responded quickly to my messages on Facebook, and made payment VERY easy! He was also completely punctual with his arrival! I showed him some photographs to give him an idea of what I wanted and he got right to work. Such a lovely person to work with, he had great conversation and made me feel v e r y comfortable. As a bride to be (in one year), he also gave me very helpful tips and ideas to consider. I LOVED my make-up as well as the beautiful lashes he gave me! Oh yes! In addition to doing my makeup, he was able to accommodate my mother as well (who was sold after seeing my finished look). I loved how beautiful he made me feel! And the makeup made it through a night long of dancing and sweating! Thank you Ruben! Needless to say, I didn’t just find someone who could do a bridesmaid look for me that day, but also the person who will be doing my make-up on my wedding day!

Ruben was awesome! I was skeptical about wearing lots of make up or how it would feel but it felt light? It looked natural and it lasted the entire night. I had never gotten so many compliments about my eyes before. He is a true artist can't wait for the next time!

I've used Ruben twice in a week. Once for a photo shoot and once for an event. The first time he did my makeup I loved it and I thought I'd never want to try any other look. I did a full glam look that time.
The next time I went in he recommended a softer look since I was taking pics at the beach. I fell in love with the look too! Trust him with what he. Recommends!
I can say I'm definitely pleased and I have recommended him to close friends and family.
My makeup lasted all day and all night for both events. I finally removed it at 3 am the first night and it still looked lovely, soft, and perfect.
That was after 15 hours of wearing it! Ruben has the ability to enhance your beauty so much while still keeping your skin feeling light and comfortable

I absolutely love Ruben Mua's work! Ruben is professional and highly talented. He has done my make up a couple of times and has always managed to work around my schedule. He is reliable, talented and utilizes quality products and brushes. I can't imagine going to someone else... until next time Ruben!

This young man is a true artist. He very talented and professional. I have hired him on numerous occasions and so far I've never been disappointed. I hired him was for my wedding. He did my makeup and my mothers. We both looked fabulous. The second time I had to redo my wedding pictures and he was there ready to help me out. The third time I asked him to do makeup, was for a friend. It was her daughters prom night. He also offers makeup classes. I attended one so far and I am very happy I attended. That class was about learning how to apply eye shadow and do eyebrows. If you want an artist at a reasonable price hire Ruben you will be amazed and completely satisfied

Ruben is an amazingly talented makeup artist he can create and recreate any look you desire. Ruben has done my makeup on many occasions and there is no one else I would trust with my face. I am a makeup lover and very particular, however, he never disappoints. He is very professional and only uses the best products. Rubens makeup technique translates onto photos flawlessly and I would highly recommend him.

Ruben is absolutely amazing! His work is far beyond that of any other makeup artist I've ever used. He takes his time to perfect his work and makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful. I've had the pleasure of having my makeup done 3x now and each look was completely different from the other but oh so beautiful! He stuns me every time. I would never in a million years use anybody else

“Hi Ruben, just a quick note to say thank you so much for doing a fab job on my wedding make up, and the bridesmaids! We all looked fresh, modern and gorgeous It was such a hot day with high humidity, and the make up stayed on all night – with the help of a few blotting papers! You were patient, kind and fun on the day, and really helped create a relaxed and joyful environment, when inside we were soooo nervous!! I would recommend you to anyone looking for beautiful make up with outstanding service. Thank you.”

I wanted to find a professional makeup artist for my big day, my wedding! Here in Bakersfield it is hard to find a professional make-up artist who is caring, classy, sincere, and of course affordable! However, I was a very lucky bride because I met Ruben Ramirez before my wedding. Every bride wants to look beautiful and elegant on her big day, and I was not the exception, this is why it was very important to find the right person who understood my needs. My wedding took place on July 2013. It was a hot day! However, my makeup lasted all day! I loved how light the makeup felt on my skin, I also loved the colors that Ruben picked for me. Ruben was the perfect makeup artist because he truly made me feel special. He gave me great ideas and suggestions! He did my make up for my engagement pictures, and I loved the hair and of course the makeup! My mother and mother-in-law were impressed by his talent so they decided to have him do their makeup on my wedding. Ladies, Ruben Ramirez is an amazing make-up artist; he is professional, he also knows how a bride should truly look on that special day. Ruben knew exactly what I was looking for. He accentuated my eyes, and trust me, I received lots of compliments on my makeup. Thank you Ruben for doing my makeup and hair on that special day! I loved the hair and the makeup you did for my mom, mother-in-law and of course me! So ladies, you don’t have to look for a makeup artist anymore because you already found Ruben Ramirez. He will understand your needs because he is a talented young man who loves his job! Thank-you Ruben!

Dear Ruben,
I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you so much for the beautiful wedding makeup you did on December
When we first met at the makeup trial, I knew I was in good hands. You made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and understood exactly what I was looking for. Any concerns I had about my skin you put at ease and I was so grateful. The makeup on the day was absolutely flawless and lasted well into the night, even after a couple of hours dancing!!
So many people have commented on my makeup and asked me about you, so I’ve been singing your praises!
I don’t have the professional photos back yet, but when I do I will definitely share some with you.
Wishing you a successful 2014

Ruben is my favorite makeup artist. I am a wedding photographer and I can't even begin to tell you how much easier he makes my job. Ruben makes people look flawless. If I were getting married, I would hire him without a doubt. Every bride that I have referred him to has loved their makeup and everyone I have talked to about Ruben has been really impressed with his work. I think he gets booked up fast for wedding season, so if he still has your date available, I would book Ruben Mua as soon as you can!
