Char Braden Makeup and Hair Artist -

Valerie Priester

Char Braden has been my personal Hair and Makeup Artist for 5 years. I first met her when I did my first professional photo shoot. I felt in love with her and her work immediately. Ever since that day I call on Char for all my photo shoots, events, and speaking engagements.

What I love most about her work is she makes me look natural and my makeup is always perfect for the occasion. I also love how she pushes me to bring out my natural beauty.

She's very professional, always on time, and cleanliness is important to her always. Char has met me as early as 6 am when I needed her for my live events.

If you're looking for a talented and professional Hair and Makeup Artist, Char is the one for you. I highly recommend her!

Char was referred to us by one of her peers for a customer's portfolio shoot. From the very first session, she melted the heart of our customer with her personality and her top professional skills. Since that time, we've partnered with and contracted Char for her amazing makeup and hair styling services for many more projects.

Char is quick, efficient, creative and has a keen eye for details. She carries a professional character with a cute and fun personality. We love her dearly and always appreciate having her on set with our customers. When Char is there, it's going to be a good day!

Char did my make up for my engagement photo shoot, and my hair and makeup for my wedding. She was always early, professional, and helpful with hair and makeup tips. She understood exactly what I wanted to for my wedding day hair and makeup. She graciously responded to suggestions and feedback. She totally contributed to the peaceful and calm spirit in the dressing room.

I felt flawless and excited after my hair and makeup were done, all because of Char! My hair and makeup were exactly how I imagined them on my wedding. I absolutely recommend Char for your wedding day hair and makeup! She was definitely a part of the team that made the dream! Thanks Char!

I've experienced Char as my MUA on several movie sets and promotional shoots, she's truly talented! She not only focus on her work being done to perfection but she also challenge, encourage and teach those working beside her. She's a perfectionist and knowing how much work is required to become such, I can appreciate that. When I sit in someones chair and put my face in their hands I want to relax and not worry, I want assurance that I will look the part... Whether it be for personal or professional use Char will always be my go to artist to make me look flawless or beat (literally).

I had the pleasure of meeting Char as the MUA the photographer used in a photo shoot I participated in. Char was knowledgeable about products to utilize for my skin type (which is combination and sensitive). She not only told me about the products that she was using but how they would work with my skin. Char asked me questions about my preferences for my look and took those into consideration when completing my makeup. Overall, Char did a great job transforming me into a more confident client, she is personable, knowledgeable, and very fun to be around! It felt like I had known her forever and she made me feel at ease about all of my imperfections. I received so many comments on my makeup after the shoot and gladly told others about the wonderful work that she did for me! I would definitely recommend her as a MUA for any job and can't wait to utilize again in the near future.

-A Very Satisfied Customer!

I've worked with Char for at least 5 years both on film and photo projects. She has proven herself time and time again as a talented and reliable makeup and hair artist. She's always on time and my photo clients love her personality and humor. She's very quick and efficient without sacrificing the quality of her work. Extremely easy to work with. I would recommend her any day to anyone.

Char is the ultimate professional. I have used her on the majority of my glamour shoots. You always fear that a makeup artist won't get along with clients or that clients won't like the makeup at all, but that's not the case with Char. She works with my clients to understand their needs. If a client does not like something about their makeup -which doesn't happen often- Char will correct it. She's very aware of the clients' needs and me as the photographer. I'm so glad I found her. You won't be sorry.

Good afternoon. I have to say, Char is not just a great wonderful Makeup and Hair artist. She brings so much more to the overall film and television set experience. She's motivating, uplifting and really just a great person overall.
