The Beauty Experience

With over 10 years of experience as a Seattle hair and makeup artist, I specialize in creating soft glam looks that are timeless, radiant, and tailored to each client.

About My Artistry

Getting your hair and makeup done is about more than the finished look — it’s about how you feel. My artistry is rooted in collaboration: I take time to understand your vision, communicate openly, and design a look that enhances your natural beauty while staying true to my signature style.

Whether you’re preparing for your wedding, engagement photos, family portraits, or a special night out, each application is customized to your features, skin tone, and personal style. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident, beautiful, and like the best version of yourself.

​

In-Studio & On Location

At my Seattle makeup studio, you’ll enjoy a personalized, relaxing experience. If you’d prefer the convenience of having me travel to you, I also offer on-location services throughout Seattle and the surrounding areas (travel fees may apply).

​

Why Clients Trust Me

Clients return time and again because they know my artistry is designed to last. I use professional-grade products and advanced techniques that ensure your look stays flawless from the first moment to the last. Makeup and hairstyling should feel lightweight and comfortable in person, while still looking polished and photo-ready.

At Olive & Ember Beauty, hair and makeup is more than a service — it’s an experience created to make you feel radiant, confident, and unforgettable.

Soft Glam: My Signature Style

Soft glam is my specialty. A timeless, radiant style that enhances your natural features while letting you still feel like yourself. It’s about glowing skin, softly defined eyes, brushed-through brows, and a polished finish that feels effortless yet elevated.

​

What makes soft glam so perfect is its versatility. We can keep it fresh and natural for daytime or elevate it with richer tones and more definition for an evening event. No matter how it’s tailored, the result is always the same: makeup that photographs beautifully, feels lightweight and comfortable, and lets you recognize yourself in the mirror, just a more radiant, confident version.

​

This is the artistry I’ve built my career on: enhancing beauty, not masking it. It’s makeup that stands the test of time, both in photos and in memory.

just elevated.

Client Love Letters

Mariah did an amazing job with my and my bridesmaids make-up for my wedding on Saturday! I felt so beautiful and am obsessed with the pictures I’ve seen! She was flexible when our timeline had to change a week before the wedding, prompt with each email, and so helpful when I was indecisive on what I wanted during my trial. She worked with each of my bridesmaids to give them the look they wanted based on their inspiration pictures. Everyone looked so gorgeous— Mariah is the best!!

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book hair and makeup services?
Weddings should be booked as far in advance as possible — ideally 6–12 months out. Because I prioritize booking weddings through Onsite Beauty Artistry, my personal calendar fills quickly during peak seasons. If you’d like me specifically, I recommend securing your date early.

​

Special occasion bookings can be made up to 4 weeks in advance. In-studio sessions can be booked online at any time based on availability.

​

Do you travel on location?

Yes! I offer both in-studio and on-location services. Travel fees apply depending on the distance.

​

Can I book you for just myself, or do you only work with groups?
You can absolutely book me for yourself. I love creating polished looks for individual clients as well as groups.

​

Is there a service minimum for on-location bookings?
Yes. For on-location bookings, there is a minimum of 2 services (for example, hair + makeup for one person, or makeup for two). I can accommodate up to 6 services on my own. If your needs go beyond that, I recommend booking with Onsite Beauty Artistry, so we can ensure everyone is cared for and the day runs smoothly.​

​

How long does hair and makeup take?

Hairstyling is about 1 hour, while makeup is about 1.5 hours. If you’re booking both, allow 2–2.5 hours total for your appointment. For weddings or larger groups, I’ll create a custom timeline to keep your day running smoothly.

​

What products do you use?

I use a curated combination of high-end and drugstore products. After more than 10 years in the wedding industry and hundreds of weddings, I’ve tested countless brands to find the products that perform best. My kit is built on products that are universal, reliable, and cost-effective in both price and quality — only the formulas that deliver lasting, beautiful results make it in permanently.

This means you can trust that your makeup will look flawless in person, photograph beautifully, and last all day without constant touch-ups.
