I loved working with the LE Glam Team for my wedding day makeup! Erin and Lisa were extremely responsive and helpful whenever I had questions leading up to the big day. On the day-of, they arrived early and made me feel calm and at ease. I wanted a natural glam look for myself and my bridesmaids. Everyone looked and felt beautiful without looking overdone. For me personally, Erin and Lisa helped me tweak my trial look to exactly how I envisioned feeling on my wedding day - glam but still like myself. I felt confident and comfortable all day long which allowed me to focus on enjoying every special moment. My bridal party also raved about working with them.

After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

    Ashley is truly THE makeup artist you want for your wedding day. From the moment we met at the trial, she was so warm, genuine, and down to earth. I honestly felt like I was catching up with an old bestie!!! She took the time to listen to what I envisioned, offered helpful suggestions, and made the whole experience feel effortless. On the day of the wedding we decided to tweak a couple of things and she executed them all with perfection. My wedding day was the hottest day of the year and still my makeup stayed flawless from morning to night! Ashley worked calmly and professionally while bringing such a fun and calming energy to the morning. If you are looking for someone who is so insanely talented, kind, and makes you feel like the best version of yourself, Ashley is your girl!!!

    Mandalin Collective Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first email exchange, their communication style was responsive, easy, and very helpful - they made finding a makeup artist and hairstylist a breeze. I worked closely with the owner of the company, Mandie. Mandie was not only super friendly and helpful but also very flexible up until the week before our wedding. We tweaked the timeline and services multiple times trying to get everything to our liking. Mandie also gave me lots of advice on how the timeline/schedule should look to make the day run as smooth as possible. On the day of our wedding, Mandie had enlisted the help of her friend Carin. Both ladies traveled out to my parents house and were nothing but friendly, hardworking, and produced beautiful results that helped us all look and feel our best. The quality of their work was exceptional and we felt the value was outstanding. We can't thank Mandalin Collective Beauty enough for their great communication and for playing such an important role in making our special day so memorable.

    As someone who suffers from eczema and sensitive skin, looking through make up artists was nerve racking. However, when I found Glam Beauty and saw the amazing jobs that they can do, I immediately contacted them. Communication was nothing short of fantastic, all of my concerns were answered. When it came to the wedding day, the Glam beauty team was remarkable. They worked so fast and were so much fun and conversational. They even allowed the bridal party to have that small break between photos and getting dressed because they were so efficient. The makeup stayed ALL DAY, and did not smudge one bit! Despite the happy tears. Our hair was in place perfectly and did not move! And none of us had one outbreak and our skin is still as smooth as can be! Cannot be more grateful for Glam Beauty!

    I got my makeup done for my wedding and booked on faith because I live out of state but came for a beach wedding. I am a prior makeup artist but I wanted to relax on my big day. I was beyond nervous to have someone else do my makeup because I know what I like. Izzy was amazing with communication and booking and got me in only a few weeks before my wedding after my makeup artist from a different company canceled on me. Ally did mine and 5 of my bridesmaids makeup and it was to die for. I got my makeup done at 7 in the morning and it still looked fresh at 10pm. Everyone complimented my makeup throughout the day and said I looked fresh out of a bridal magazine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALLY! She constantly checked in to make sure I was loving my makeup and quickly made the only adjustment I wanted. Book here, you won’t be disappointed!

    Rie is a NYC/Long Island based makeup artist/hair stylist for Beauty, Fashion, Portrait Photography, and Weddings. ​ All the makeup products in Rie's kit are cruelty free. Rie's style is "Natural" and "Feel like yourself but better" makeup look!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Rie was a lifesaver! I had initially reached out to a different vendor in September of 2024 and we had an ongoing conversation while I considered pricing through November. We had a verbal agreement to work together but before she sent me her contract she ghosted me. I thought it was because the holidays were coming up and we all get busy at the end of the year. But mid-January come along, I had not heard back, and I was a little over two months away from my wedding! I reached out to a ton of makeup artists, and Rie was among the first to respond. She was so understanding from the get-go and her kindness paired with her makeup style was what sold me! Immediately, I knew she was who I wanted to work for. Rie provided makeup services for me and five of my six bridesmaids by herself. She was even able to work with me to find time to do a makeup trial despite both our busy schedules (getting married in the off season I'm sure helped). She worked so efficiently and even finished before our scheduled time, and provided us all with little touch up kits. I tend to not wear too much makeup and the same goes for most of my bridesmaids, and Rie was able to take her "natural makeup" style and personalize it to everyone. I only wear makeup on special occasions, and when I do, I tend to be hyper aware of my face and the makeup on it. But Rie's application was so good, that I did not think about the makeup on my face once throughout the ten hour day. The natural makeup style might not be for everyone, the same way full glam is not for me, but if you lean that way, I highly recommend working with Rie!

Even one of my bridesmaids stated “I like how I look today way more than I did on my own wedding day”, and another bridesmaid reached out to me for Amber’s information to book her for her own upcoming wedding. I’m so glad Amber was part of our wedding day, and she’ll be the best addition to anyone else’s wedding day, too!

    Brooklyn, NY
    • Starts at $400

    I’ve been creating Glam and natural Bridal looks for over 3 years and learning the latest trends with makeup in New York. What started as a hobby led me to launch my business as a freelance makeup artist three years ago and I’ve since been certified by Lauren D’amelio, Kryolan Cosmetics and twelve international artists from The Makeup Lovers Conference. I also work with editorial clients creating daring yet on brand looks. I have an upcoming project to execute the makeup vision for an ad campaign in Times Square for ShopYahaira Shapewear. Make sure to look out for it!

    Maria Pennacchi Makeup was an absolute pleasure to work with for my daughter's wedding day. Maria was very quick in responding to any questions that we had and was accommodating to making sure she gave us enough time to work with us that morning. She is so easy to talk to and listened when you wanted to add or change something. Maria's quality of work was outstanding - she applied our makeup very naturally and lighter so that there was room for changes. The makeup lasted throughout the entire day and wedding, and Maria made us look extra special. As an extremely experienced makeup artist, she really listens to what you want to look like for your special day. Maria made this experience with getting our makeup done a joyful one.

    Hair and Makeup by Sophia was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first email exchange, Sophia was quick to respond, thorough in their communication, and always available to address any questions or concerns I had. On the day of the wedding, her work was truly stunning - my hair and makeup looked flawless and lasted all night long, even when we took photos in the rain!. I felt beautiful and confident, exactly how I wanted to feel on my special day. She was very accomodating to a few of my late bridal party members as well! Sophia also made the experience fun and relaxed, listening closely to my preferences and making me feel at ease. I cannot recommend Hair and Makeup by Sophia enough to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable beauty team to be part of their wedding day.

    About wedding beauty professionals

    How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

    According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90–$475 per person on average in 2022. Here at Zola, we recommend putting aside around $300 for your own wedding hair and makeup. Services for wedding party members are generally less expensive, as the artist or stylist will spend less time perfecting the look. Be sure to have a transparent conversation with your wedding party if you expect them to cover their own costs.

    How long does wedding hair and makeup take to do?

    The more involved the look, the more time it will take. In general, allocate 60–90 minutes for your own looks and 30–45 minutes for each member of the wedding party. Extensions, extra thick hair, and intricate makeup all take longer. Communicating who (with pictures and descriptions) is getting what (again, with photos) to your stylists will help them plan an accurate timeline.

    Who usually pays for hair and makeup for the wedding party?

    Traditionally, whoever is asking for the services should pay. However, this may not be in the budget for every couple. If you’re planning on having your wedding party pay, be transparent when you first ask them to be in the wedding party itself. Then, they can choose whether it’s possible for them to participate.

    How much should we tip for our wedding hair and makeup artists?

    A good rule of thumb is to tip 15–20%.
