Testimonials

  • Being in Law Enforcement and former Military, I’ve been challenged by the emotions and memories one is left with by carrying the trauma one is left with in my job, and keeping it bottled up. Mari and I formed a trust that she earned by engaging with me with her unique skill set and comforting demeanor. Mari helped me get past the memories holding me back from enjoying my life.

  • Mari’s joyousness and optimism are engaging, instantly helpful, and ultimately, freeing! As a person carrying around the scars from an abusive childhood, I’m not one who easily trusts or wants to discuss it, yet I was being held back without even realizing the long-buried reasons why. I could’ve never imagined that someone so optimistic and forward thinking could have had a connection with me in that way, but her own victory over abuse set me firmly on a sunnier path. I have taken my life back. She has been with me step-by-step. I give her all the credit, though she tells me I did it myself. All I needed were the tools. I would not have been able to make it through my challenges without her. Thank you, Mari, for giving me the tools I needed.

  • Mari had a big challenge for our TV Series “REAL GIRLS because it was an all-girl cast. She was professional and easy to get along with. The ending result was a cast that exemplified beauty with a marvelous “natural” look. Mari made that happen!

  • I have known and worked with Miss Mari Bennett for twenty-five years and my opinion of her character and work ethic has not changed.  She is an extremely intelligent, self-motivated multi-tasker, who is professional in both appearance and performance. Additionally, she is a magician at problem solving.  Any individual or business will find it advantageous in utilizing her skill sets and feedback. If anyone would wish to contact me as to any further information concerning her talent, I would welcome the opportunity to enlighten them.

  • I met Mari through a friend of mine over ten years ago that referred me to her for skin care and life coaching. Meeting her was and continues to be life changing. My skin has transformed (I do not look 64 anymore!) and so my relationship with myself and my husband has evolved into a wonderful realtionship. I never truly understood what self-love was. Loving myself transformed all of my relationships. Accepting myself and my mistakes helped me move on from traumas and dramas from the past. Doing this allows me to, now, live in the present. She empowered me, motivated me, believed in me, and shared with me insights and alternative ways of looking at challenges that have been and continue to affect my outlook daily. I am finally living!

  • At the point of planning my wedding I was referred to Mari by my hairdresser. She told me how Mari is a wonderful makeup artist, very professional, and travels to the bride of her special day. Considering I was getting married in the middle of July, in Florida, that idea appealed to me very much. I met Mari and was immediately happy to know her. She was wonderful and genuine. I was instantly comfortable around her and glad to have met her. Mari did my make-up for both my engagement and bridal portraits. On the day of she arrived at the club and did makeup for the entire bridal party and family. It turned out to be a fun girl’s day. Mari’s talent and work is stunning. She had a way of making me look natural, but with makeup. When it came to me walking down the aisle, I felt beautiful and confident. Mari helped my day be even more special by taking the work and stress out it, while in the meantime, making me look and feel most beautiful.

  • I have known Mari for over 23 years. I met her when she was managing the American Laser Center and assisting with aesthetics. She is not only professional and easy to talk to; she additionally has great management skills, is a go-getter. She always has great advice on anything from skin care, make-up, life-coaching, relationship building, recovering from trauma, and even with what clothes to wear to each event! Great gal. I highly recommend.
