About Makeup by Gianna

Makeup by Gianna

Professional Makeup Artist

I am a Professional Traveling Makeup Artist based in the Chicago Suburbs, specializing in bridal, special occasion, and photography makeup. I pride myself on giving each of my clients the most memorable makeup experience that will have them feeling so confident that they will be looking at themselves in the mirror all night.

My goal when doing makeup is to make everyone feel comfortable the minute they are in my chair. I strive to enhance your natural beauty by using specific techniques based on your skin type, skin tone, bone structure, and more. I want my client's inner beauty and confidence to really shine through when doing makeup. ​ Every opportunity I get to glam someone truly excites me. Once you meet me in person, you will see my passion for my job and how invested I am in providing you with the exact look you envisioned.

Submit a form on my website makeupbygianna.com or email me at makeupbygiannad@gmail.com with your full name, getting ready location, and how many people will need makeup services . Hope to hear from you soon!
I am an on-site makeup artist that will travel to you wherever you need me to be. Yes, even your destination wedding!
I offer very natural makeup to soft glam makeup looks. I use my techniques and skills to create a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. I use high-quality traditional makeup from high-end and trusted brands. All of my services include false strip lashes or individual lashes.
It is not included, but greatly appreciated! Industry-standard gratuity rates are 15-25%.​
Cash, Zelle, or Venmo
Yes, a non-refundable and non-transferrable security deposit of $200 is required in order to secure your date, as well as a signed contract. The $200 will go toward your total balance.
The average bridal party size I do alone is about 6 people. If time allows, can do up to 8 people alone, after 8, or for a tight schedule, I will bring a second makeup artist with me.
Trials are required and included in your bridal package. Also called a bridal preview, a bridal trial is a chance for you to see your wedding day makeup before your wedding day. The trial is not to try out our makeup artist, the trial allows us to "try out" a makeup look for your wedding day. Having the trial done prior to the wedding day allows the both of us to get to know your likes, and dislikes to really make your vision come to life.
I recommend doing a bridal trial at least 1-3 months before your wedding. Please book your trial ASAP after you book your wedding with me to secure your desired date. Trials are scheduled any day of the week, with the exception of Saturdays. If you would like your trial done on a Saturday, it would be scheduled after 4 pm if I have the availability. Trials are done at your home or at the location of your choice. Travel fees may apply. Please allow 1.5 - 2 hours for your trial.
4 services minimum for Friday and Saturday weddings. This means at least the Bride + 3 others will get their makeup done with me.

    amazing!!

    Gianna is absolutely amazing! Everyone needs a Gianna to do their makeup on their wedding day! She was so professional, kept everyone on schedule, and made sure we all had fun while she did it! I was feeling all the feelings the morning of my wedding, but getting to sit and have Gianna do my makeup, she kept me so calm and reminded me everything will go smoothly. All the other girls and my mom were also incredibly happy with how their makeup turned out! We all felt so beautiful, comfortable, and looked out best thanks to her! She is my (and now all of bridesmaids) go to girl for makeup! She is so talented, and it was such a pleasure having her! She is the sweetest and such personable girl, you can't go wrong with booking Gianna!

    Book Gianna for your makeup!!!

    Gianna has done my makeup for multiple occasions and she’s killed it every single time!! She did my wedding makeup along with my 11 bridesmaids and everyone loved how it turned out, and we received many many compliments throughout the night. Gianna is so sweet, friendly, and flexible to try whatever look you want to do!

    Gianna is simply a bright light on your most special day!! She has done my makeup for two wedding I was in as a bridesmaid and now she will be doing my makeup for my wedding. So excited for her to be apart of my special day and I know I can fully trust her. She was one of the first vendors I booked and I made sure she was available before locking in my date with my venue. That’s how phenomenal she is at her job!!

    Could not have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding! Gianna really took the time to listen to what I was going for and executed it perfectly. Everyone in my bridal party loved her and everyone’s makeup lasted the entire night. Not only is she great at what she does, but she’s also the sweetest person ever! Thank you so much Gianna!!!! Cannot recommend enough!!!
