Hi beauties!! my name is Gianna Wiesman. i am an International Bridal Makeup Artist & Licensed Esthetician located in Cincinnati OH. I specialize in bridal makeup and also offer a handful of other makeup services! i am a traveling MUA who hopes to make you all feel and look as beautiful as you are. xoxo <3 check out my instagram for more content! estheticallygi

Right from the jump, Gianna has been amazing! Gianna's communication was absolutely amazing! I had a bunch of questions and changes to the timeline, but she was amazing through all of that. She was very reassuring when I was a bit stressed about trying to get seven girls done in a few hours. Turns out, I had nothing to be worried about and I am pretty sure everyone was done early! I was not able to do a makeup trial because we decided to move to North Carolina a couple months before the wedding :) But, we were able to talk through what I liked/didn't like, so she had an idea of what I wanted for the wedding! The morning of the wedding day was so, so smooth! Gianna got through all seven of us pretty quickly. Everyone's makeup was so beautiful! I love, love, loved my makeup!! I felt so beautiful on such a special day and that is all I could ask for! I 100% recommend booking Gianna, she is wonderful! I don't have all of my photos back yet, so enjoy these closeup screenshots, of the photos I do have lol!

I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!

Hello ! I'm Gabriela Spode Machado, a Brazilian makeup artist and hairstylist specializing in casual, photoshoot, and bridal makeup. I've been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for the last 7 years, and I'm thrilled to bring my services directly to you. My passion for makeup blossomed when I was young, spending countless hours practicing on friends and family. This early dedication evolved into a lifelong commitment to understanding and mastering the art of beauty. What I love most about makeup and hair is the power it has to enhance natural beauty, helping women feel more confident and beautiful in their own skin.

I had such a great experience! She made me feel so comfortable and welcome in her space, and I felt truly heard. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted, so I trusted her and just asked for a natural, lightweight makeup look. She did an amazing job with both my hair and makeup. I felt beautiful, confident, and she completely changed my day. I highly recommend her!

Mitasha and Sush were absolutely incredible. Mitasha did an amazing job with my makeup - it lasted all night, photographed beautifully, and most importantly, she truly listened during my trial and thoughtfully refined the look based on my preferences to ensure it was perfectly tailored to my face and comfort level on the wedding day. She made me feel so confident and cared for, and even surprised me with the cutest makeup aftercare kit, which was such a thoughtful touch. Sush was just as wonderful with my hair. She took the time to understand my vision and worked with me to create the perfect hairstyle that complemented my face shape and truly felt like me. My hair had volume and the most gorgeous curls that held perfectly all night - through dancing, photos, and everything in between. Mitasha and her team made getting ready such a stress-free and fun experience. They kept everyone on schedule, managed timelines seamlessly, and made sure the entire bridal party felt taken care of. They even graciously squeezed my aunt in last minute on the day of the wedding without missing a beat. They kicked off the day on such a calm, positive note, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. I highly recommend Mitasha and her team for an elevated and professional bridal hair and makeup experience.

I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was. I highly recommend Lauren for any special occasions or if you just want to feel good! She definitely has a way to hype you up and make you feel gorgeous inside AND out!

Sammy jumped in without hesitation to fix my makeup and make sure everything was perfect before the ceremony. Her kindness and support during that stressful moment meant the world to me and helped me get back to feeling excited about the day. I couldn’t recommend her more!
