About Maria Pennacchi Makeup

Maria Pennacchi

Bridal Pro Makeup Artist

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!

Working closely with my clients to ensure they look and feel their best selves is my first priority. My specialty is creating custom looks for weddings, engagements, and maternity portraits – from full glam to soft and subtle and everything in between. I love making people feel incredible on some of the most significant days of their lives. No matter what the occasion is, my objective is to make you feel as beautiful as you are – and maybe share some tips along the way! I would love to hear from you. Reach out to schedule your consultation here. XO

The Best!!
From my first email with Maria Pennacchi Makeup, I knew I was in good hands. She responded quickly to every question I had and made me feel heard throughout the whole process. I don't wear makeup day to day, so I was nervous about looking cakey or not like myself, but Maria listened to my concerns and delivered exactly what I wanted. Her skin prep work was incredible—even with layers of coverage for my hyperpigmentation, my skin could still breathe and I couldn't even feel the concealer. My makeup stayed flawless the entire night and looked stunning in photos. Her work is top-notch and her prices are fair, so I'm highly recommending Maria and her team to anyone looking for a makeup artist.

Stunning bridal makeup
My bridal makeup from Maria Pennacchi Makeup was everything I was looking for and was not only gorgeous, but lasted the whole wedding night. When searching for a makeup artist, I was looking for someone who could really do a full glam look. I normally wear makeup everyday and was very picky about my selection process for someone who could truly make me a beautiful version of myself. I got my makeup and hair done by her and her team and everything turned out beautifully. I got services for myself, my mom, mother in law, and 5 bridesmaids and we were all super happy with how our makeovers turned out. Looking at our pictures too, the makeup reflected really well in photos. The team moved efficiently, finishing ahead of the scheduled timeline and we all even got touchups done after eating lunch. Communcation was always prompt from the initial reaching out, to the trial, to the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Maria and her team!

Wedding Makeup
I cannot say enough amazing things about my Maria and my hairstylist! From the moment I sat in their chair on my wedding day, I felt completely taken care of. They were so professional, kind, and incredibly talented, and they made the entire morning feel relaxed and stress-free. My hair and makeup came out absolutely PERFECT. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself, and everything photographed beautifully. My makeup lasted through the entire day and night, even through all the happy tears, dancing, and celebrating! My hair stayed in place all night and looked exactly how I had envisioned it. I am so grateful to have had them be part of such an important day. If you are looking for a wedding hair and makeup team, I HIGHLY recommend them! You will not be disappointed!
