What my clients have to say

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!!

Soft Glam

Soft glam makeup is a timeless choice that enhances your natural features while creating a glowing, smooth, and youthful complexion. This look focuses on seamlessly blending all elements to achieve an effortless, polished finish. Soft glam includes brushed-through brows, diffused eyeshadow, and a neutral, natural lip that complements your skin tone. Every detail is designed to work together, resulting in a soft, muted elegance that feels both sophisticated and understated.

Perfect for weddings, special evenings, or a day out, soft glam is ideal for anyone who wants a refined look that highlights their beauty without feeling overdone. It is the go-to choice for those seeking a flawless, camera-ready finish that still feels light and natural.

Full Glam

Full glam makeup is a bold and dramatic style that delivers a flawless, high-impact look. This elevated technique features a perfected base with seamless contouring, defined brows, and a striking eye enhanced with bold lashes and rich, vibrant colors. A beautifully polished lip ties the entire look together, making it perfect for those who want to stand out and make a statement.

Ideal for weddings, formal events, photoshoots, or any occasion where you want to feel glamorous and confident, full glam makeup ensures you look stunning in person and on camera. It is the ultimate choice for those seeking a powerful, head-turning transformation.

How to Prepare for Your Makeup Appointment

To ensure a smooth and flawless makeup application, it is essential to properly prep your skin before your appointment. I recommend following these steps for the best results:

Cleanse, Exfoliate, and Moisturize: Wash your face thoroughly, exfoliate to remove any dead skin cells, and apply a good moisturizer to hydrate your skin. This helps create a smooth base that allows the makeup to blend beautifully and last longer.
Remove All Makeup Residue: Make sure to completely remove any leftover makeup, especially eyeliner and mascara. Clean, makeup-free skin is key to achieving a seamless application.
Hydrate for Dry Skin: If you have very dry skin, consider using a moisturizing sheet mask after a thorough physical exfoliation. This extra hydration will ensure that your skin looks fresh and radiant.
Avoid SPF with Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide: Avoid applying sunscreens that contain these active ingredients, as they can cause flashback in photos, leaving a white cast in pictures.

Bring Your Perfect Lip Color
For long wear days, I recommend bringing a lip color you love so you can touch up throughout the event. This ensures your lips stay perfect and polished for the entire occasion.

Gather Inspiration for Your Look
Prior to your appointment, gather 3-5 inspiration photos from my portfolio here or on Instagram. If needed, Pinterest is also a great resource. Be sure to choose looks that reflect your vision while considering your skin tone and features. Let me know what you love about each look and if there are any details you would prefer to avoid.

My Commitment to You
My priority is to ensure that you leave feeling 100% happy and confident in the look we create together. During your appointment, open communication is key. If there is anything you would like adjusted, I am more than happy to make changes to perfect your look.

I am excited to work with you and bring your vision to life!
