We use high-end, professional makeup products to ensure the best quality of luxury service. A few of our favorite brands are Charlotte Tilbury, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Face Atelier, Hourglass Cosmetics, Tarte Cosmetics. Note: We love animals, and we decided to upgrade our makeup kit and use mostly CRUELTY-FREE professional makeup brands and products
We no longer offer airbrush makeup, as it doesn't represent the quality of services we stand for. We use traditional makeup to create a flawless, natural/soft glam look known as our signature style. Throughout the years, we carefully selected all the high-quality products to ensure a long-lasting, skin-finish makeup look that photographs impeccably.
We offer bridal trials before and after booking your date with us! A trial is the best time to get to know your beauty professionals and find the ideal makeup and hairstyle for your wedding day. Most Brides come to our studio which is located in Fairfax, VA. You can expect that your trial/consultation will last 60-90 minutes makeup only, if getting hair trial too it will also be 60-90 minutes. We will start with a consultation and after we create a custom look for you
Honestly, the sooner the better! We would recommend to book your favorite wedding vendors including Makeup and Hair Stylist as soon as you engaged! We book weddings 1 year-1,5 year in advance.
Yes! Love is love & we're here to help you celebrate your love regardless of who you love!
Wherever your wedding is taking place! We mostly book weddings and events in the Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland area, but we are happy to travel inside and outside the USA. For more information please fill out our inquiry form.

    Perfect Bridal Hair & Makeup

    Makeup by Ivett was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was prompt, detailed, and efficient, making the process seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they were detail-oriented, ensuring each member of my bridal party looked picture perfect. Soma and Sadira were fantastic, super professional, and great ladies to hang out with the morning of. They brought the energy and knew exactly how to make each woman feel special and beautiful. Makeup by Ivett truly went above and beyond, helping us all feel confident and gorgeous on the special day. I would highly recommend their services to any couple looking for a talented and dependable beauty team.

    Lulu is the best!!

    I was lucky to have had Lulu do my makeup when I was a bridesmaid for another friend's VA wedding. I felt so beautiful and loved her natural glam style. So when I was looking for someone to do my bridal makeup for November 2024, I knew I wanted to work with Lulu. Lulu and Ivett were so responsive in our comms. The makeup trial I did was so helpful and exactly what I asked for - and on the day of my wedding it was even better! She also did my mom's makeup, who is not very comfortable with getting her makeup done - she made her look and feel amazing! I am so grateful to both Lulu and Ivett for being part of my wedding - hire them, you won't regret it!!

    Beautiful Wedding Hair and Makeup

    I am so happy with how my hair and makeup looked at my wedding. I looked exactly how I wanted on my wedding day and my bridal party was also very happy. The experience day-of was great and everyone was so positive and enjoyable to work with. I wish I had a little more time before I did my first look, so I'd recommend going a little earlier and communicating with the team about your preferences for the schedule. Even though I felt a little stressed, Lulu (the makeup artist) took her time and did not make me feel rushed at all. I had such a great time the morning of my wedding and these women were a big part of that!

    I truly felt like a princess!!!

    Ivett was absolutely incredible!!! She is so talented! My entire bridal party, my mom, my mother in law, and I all looked so stunning! The makeup was simple yet elegant! I also love how Ivett has two hairstylists, Sadira and Reem! They were amazing! I truly looked and felt like a princess on my wedding day. I can’t recommend Makeup by Ivett enough!

    Hire Ivett!

    I spoke with a few makeup artists in the DMV area before finding Ivett, and she just really stood out from the very beginning. Not only is she super sweet, but she's professional and a true artist! Plus, she uses cruelty-free makeup and sustainable applicators, so she cares about her clients AND the earth. She is definitely a vendor you can count on and will turn into a friend after the wedding is done!
