Joseph worked with me and taught me how to better apply my makeup. It was AWESOME!
He is kind and extraordinary patient. He took his time and instructed me in how to improve my skin and how to better cover up my flaws.
He is not pushy, and he is not only there to sell his products. He is a consummate makeup artist, and his greatest pleasure is to pass on his skills to others.
I would ( and will) go back to him in an instant~~he was delightful and he totally instructed me, so that I ended up feeling younger looking and more confident.

Your makeup made me much more presentable on High def TV! I won't go on again without it! Do plan a 3 day getaway weekend to visit us with lovely Kelly. Your suite awaits you!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Joseph's products are fantastic! Specifically, the wrinkle relaxing creme is amazing. My lines are vanishing right before my eyes! I highly suggest taking advantage of anything Joseph recommends for your particular needs. He is a man of great character and integrity.

It is truly a treat to do your make-up when you have someone like Joseph to work with. Not only are his products wonderful, he also teaches you the way to use them so you get the best results. I always look forward to seeing Joseph . . . he always has a smile on his face and he makes buying make-up fun. I have also had several compliments on the way my skin looks since I started using Joseph's products. Judy Altman

Last week I had a make-over lesson with Joseph Saenz at his shop in Encino. Joseph spent two hours with me, teaching me little tricks and techniques to apply my make up. AND he even sketched them out for me and patiently waited as I took notes so I wouldn't forget what I learned. Even though he used his own product line of cosmetics and skin care, he did not push them on me or pressure me to buy anything. What a difference having someone like Joseph Saenz actually show, teach and demonstrate a technique and the colors that are the most flattering instead of trying to copy something in a magazine. Thank you, Joseph! (I would also like to add that I have purchased Joseph's products for a few years now and all are excellent quality and I have been happy with everything)

Joseph ROCKS!!! Joseph has done my make up for the last few years. His products and knowledge are fabulous. Finally at the age of 48, Joseph taught me how to do both a day and night look. Because of his incredible make-up line and his teaching skills, people say I look ten years younger and I actually feel ten years younger because of Joseph.

I have been a client of Joseph Saenz for over 15 years. When you're a client of Joseph Saenz you're also a friend and treated like a star! His products and information are cutting edge and customized to you and your goal. Recently, I had a fitness video shoot and needed a natural look that would hold up during long days of shooting. I called Jos eph and he designed a simple 4 step process....face primer, medium base, bronzing powder and setting spray that I could do myself in 5 minutes. I followed his simple directions on how to apply the process, looked in the mirror and said, "Wow that really works, I look great!" Thanks Joseph.......

People always ask if I use Joseph's products. I can truthfully say "Yes!" As many of you know, I met Joseph when he was the National Makeup Artist for Revlon's Ultima II. I was a business manager for the company. After moving to California, I went on to work for Estee Lauder and Lancome as both a beauty advisor and business manager. I mention mybackground as a point of reference--I know good skincare and makeup! Joseph's products are every bit as effective and luxurious as those I used to sell. In fact, I have some definite favorites. I cannot say enough about the Peptox line of skincare. It has become my new favorite--maybe because when I was working for the big companies I was younger and didn't need to pull out the big guns to look good! Peptox has definitely softened my forehead lines and helped to firm my skin. My only regret? They don't make one for the entire body (yet!) Face Primer comes next in my line up of favorites. Not only is it silky soft and glorious feeling, but it's light reflecting properties makes my skin look smoother. The fact that it keeps my makeup on all day long just ensures it's place as a favorite. As I mentioned, I worked for the big cosmetic companies and one of the hardest things to do was match a foundation. It was always one compromise or another...one shade worked well, but didn't come in the right formula. The right formula didn't have the right shade. I am so happy to have those days behind me! Joseph is a master at blending foundation. I no longer have to settle for second best. Now I have the perfect color and the perfect formula, plus sun protection. It never feels heavy on my skin and I love wearing it daily because I am not good about putting on an additional sunscreen (they always feel heavy and greasy anyway so I'm happy to skip that part!) As far as actual makeup goes, Flush of Pink Mineral Finishing Powder is a dream. My skin looks good with the foundation, but it looks radiant once I get the Finishing Powder on. Can you tell I really do love the products? As a final thought, even though I know the proper techniques for applying skincare and makeup, I have learned a lot from Joseph. Among the many things that separate him from other makeup artists, the one thing I admire most is his willingness to share his knowledge. He is constantly perfecting his techniques and is a wonderful and patient teacher. So, what was the question again? Do I wear Joseph's products? Yes! Not because I have to, but simply because they are some of the best.

This makeup is absolutely outstanding! I have been using it exclusively for 10 years and it has change the look and feel of my skin. I have severe eczemza, rosacea, and lupus and it has helped me very much.

As Executive Producer of a weekly television broadcast that Joseph Saenz has served faithfully and exceptionally for many years, I want to say that Joseph is a crucial and beloved member of our production team at Jack Hayford Ministries. Yet his consistently sterling make-up design is only part of what so thoroughly recommends Joseph. He also brings to the set professionalism, experience, creativity, integrity, resourcefulness, a great team ethic, and just plain fun. I've been so pleased with his contributions to our program that I've personally called upon Joseph's professional skills for stage work I've directed in other venues, as well. There again, he has repeatedly demonstrated that he knows how to work wonders--on time and under budget! Whether it's for a one-shot stand-up in-studio or a cast of dozens requiring an array of hair appliances and effects make-up, Joseph knows how to bring out the best in diverse talent. He integrates his efforts with each department, creating beautiful designs perfectly suited to the unique demands of any production, whether on stage or screen--or even both. Over the years, I've had opportunity to work with a number of fine professional make-up artists. Joseph's incomparable character, access to top product lines, adaptable personality, and stalwart commitment to the vision set him apart as far and away simply the best!
by Courtney Hall, Executive Director of JHM Productions
It was a pleasure to work with Joseph on my recent Corporate Green Screen shoot, as he always is attentive to detail and especially when shooting High Definition when there is nothing to hide.
Romapro Video Productions will look forward to using Joseph Saenz on our next production.
by Ron Martinsen, Romapro Video Productions
I have worked with Joseph for many years in TV production and he always does a wonderful job-very attentive to detail and people look great on camera. Recently he helped train some of my staff on makeup techniques for HD production and really helped us out. Joseph is always a pleasure to work with and when he is on set it means one less thing I have to be concerned about.
by John Pipes, Joyce Meyer Productions
I have been a customer of Joseph's for many years and appreciate his expertise and caring service. I feel his products are excellent. I highly recommend him.

Josephs line is one of the finest I've seen. He matches your skin color with make up. You can't go wrong! I also enjoy his product, Lip Tox. It moisturizes my lips during the summer months like no other product.

I have been using Joseph's expertise for over 3 years now, and couldn't be happier! His product knowledge is wonderful, and his interest in getting things "just right" are really a treat. I really used to hate going to the make-up counter at Macy's only to talk to a person who had just gotten out of training for that product line two days ago and I would never see again just got sooo old... It is really frustrating when you know more about the product line than the salesperson. His prices are very competetive and his application techniques are great. I love his complementary birthday makeover. I'll be using Joseph until they put me in the ground!, at which point I will be looking fabulous!

This was the best skincare/color/make-up consultation I have ever had, and a great value. I have finally found the colors I knew were out there waiting for me, but I didn't know what they were. It has been a long and confusing search, and I am really fortunate to have found Joseph Saenz. My make-up routine has become quick and simplified now beca use Joseph has shown me exactly how to apply it, and there is no more guesswork about which colors to use. He gave me a great (very natural) daytime look, which I really love. He personally mixed my foundation to match my skin tone. I was ambivalent about matching my skin tone exactly, because I have very bland coloring. With Joseph's skillful color eye, and his repertoire of skin shades, the foundation he mixed for me not only matches my skin, but enhances it as well. My skin looks exactly like it would with a slight tan, but not at all dark...it's just enhanced, and it stays that way all day, and stays moist looking. I will return soon for a evening glamour look. All of his products are high-end (without the overblown price tag), and have high quality good-for-your-skin ingredients; even his foundation. Joseph was a pleasure to spend time with. His studio is clean and attractive with a fun, positive, and up-lifting atmosphere. Can't say enough good things about my experience there, and am looking forward to the next time. No more searching for the perfect colors, I've found them!

Joseph is a doll and he did all the make up at my wedding. he did all my bridesmaids, mother of the bride, grandmas and myself. we all felt like we had plastic surgery...we looked so young and glamorous. i would recommend him highly!
by Amy Altman Taff
I absolutely love Joseph's products. I have found with other products my skin gets irritated but with Joseph's they just pamper my skin. Also within days of using Joseph's products I could see a noticeable difference in my skin quality. It was clearer and more toned.
I also had the pleasure of having Joseph do a makeover/teaching session. It w as like a spa day for my face! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and recommend it to everyone I know!
by CGaul
Joesph Saenz is a great professional make up artist. He makes you feel at ease, and is never pushy about products or services. He carries an excellent line of products, and offers extraordinary personal care to each client. I would highly recommend him for consultation, make up application, and lessons as well as products! A true jewel in the make up world!

Our family had known Joseph’s family for quite some time, however, I never knew what Joseph being a makeup artist/magician would mean to me personally, until my husband and I were about to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Joseph kindly offered me a makeup makeover for the occasion and I happily accepted. I had long loved makeup and marve led at the breathtaking transformation that could be yours through makeup, but my efforts at personal transformation had always fallen short and I was about to find out why.
I came home from Joseph’s salon that day with a whole new “look” and complete arsenal of beauty products. Custom Blend Foundation revolutionized my world. I had long been schmearing drugstore foundation on my face, chasing it down my throat and neck, in an effort to find a place to “feather” the makeup line and stop! The disappointing result was foundation on my collars by the time I got done doing it MY way. With Joseph’s new Custom Blend Foundation and proper instruction, I get a perfect seasonal match, great coverage and use but a fraction of the foundation I once used. All that and no more annoying makeup mess! Who knew?
Other personal favorites are Joseph’s Oxygenating Cleanser & Oxygenating Crème. I can use them every single day and they leave my rather frustrating, menopausal skin, fresh & moisturized, ready for makeup, or a makeup-free day around the house. At night, I love to use the Micro-Derm Crème Scrub, because it is gentle and exfoliates away that leathery feeling! This step empowers the Pep Toxyl wrinkle relaxing crème to penetrate the fresh clean skin cells & keep up with the ravages of time, but really, I use it nightly & even during the day! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Lip Toxyl. It is the only lip product I’ve found that does not make my lips get dry and peely. Nice hint of mint, stays on, not too sticky & it brings up just a hint of color. Love it! I mostly just wear it alone, but can use it under color too. I try to keep one handy in my purse for touch ups when I’m out. I don’t need a mirror, because it is glossy I can just “schmear” it right on! …. Note to self: ask Joseph to “send” me another for summer, and what else, I should check his email specials …. How convenient & I love how quickly it will all arrive!
This year my husband and I celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary and “Mr. Joseph” Saenz is still our dear friend and makeup artist/magician specialist extraordinaire! He has come to the rescue for my mother-in-law, daughters, personal friends and business acquaintances with equal sensitivity, kindness, generosity and professionalism. With Joseph’s attention to detail, even temperament and considerable experience, he is just the right person to keep things running beautifully and smoothly at special events and weddings … even media shoots & productions!!!
