T tell you a little about me, I have been in business for 10 years and published in Charleston Living Magazine. Galya Makeup Artistry is also Google 5 Star Rated and a vendor at "The Big Fake Wedding Charleston 2021". I am also a winner of "The Knot Best of Weddings" 2022, 2023 and 2024.


What Makes Galya Makeup Artistry Different?
Not only do I personally have 10 years of experience, but my assisting artists have been hand-selected and trained by me. This training ensured their abilities to match my expected style of makeup as well as execute previous looks I have done.

We go through a unique customization process for YOU! I encourage you to email me a few images of yourself without makeup and some photos of makeup looks you have in mind. This helps me plan how to best recreate this look on you! Pinterest is a great resource for inspiration, however, once we see your face, we will help determine what will look best on you. We offer our professional advice and opinion with the sole goal of making you feel 100% comfortable and confident with your chosen look!

We do this with each client! We also like to take into consideration other elements such as your dress and bouquet in creating your own personalized look.

Galya Makeup Artistry was founded on the ideals of empowerment and inspiration.

Today, I still believe and operate my business based on those ideals: Every woman should feel confident, beautiful, and empowered.

I am passionate about transforming lives through the art of makeup. I have been a professional makeup artist in Charleston,, and I love the work I get to do every day.

Exceptional

Galya was absolutely fantastic for my wedding day. Not only is Galya extremely talented, she is also professional and prompt. All of my guests were swooning over my makeup! Additionally, my makeup remained in place throughout the Charleston heat and humidity. Please look no further if you need your makeup done for any occasion. Galya is of the celebrity caliber. I would contend that she is better than celebrity grade makeup services. Galya, you are ELITE.

Highlight of my wedding weekend

I truly cannot say enough good things about Galya and her team. I worked with Kim and Amy for hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish.
I honestly can’t even conjure the words to describe how amazing they are. They have such a gift, and I feel so lucky I got to experience it firsthand.

I honestly couldn’t get over how good I looked - they absolutely nailed the glam. But beyond the flawless execution, they were such a joy to work with. They made me feel so comfortable and brought such a fun, easy energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more special.

I only wish I lived in CHS so I could book them again and again. Could not recommend them more.

I cannot say enough good things about Galya and her team. They did such an incredible job and made me and my girls feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Everyone was so kind, patient, and genuinely sweet. Galya really listened to our requests and made sure we felt comfortable and happy with our looks. Cannot recommend her enough!

Loved my Bridal Makeup and Hair by Galya and her Team!

I hired Galya and her team for my wedding hair and makeup, and I’m so glad I did. My hair and makeup were incredibly important to me because I wanted to feel like a princess on my wedding day. I don’t wear makeup every day, and when I do, I usually keep it very minimal, but after finding Galya, I knew she could deliver exactly what I was looking for. Her talent truly speaks for itself, and her Instagram instantly gave me confidence in her work.

I also read countless reviews from other brides saying their makeup held up through crying, wind, sweating, and kissing, which made me feel even more confident booking her, along with Maddy for hair. During my bridal trial, I thought I was set on what I wanted and Galya and Maddy delivered it perfectly. As the wedding got closer, I realized I wanted to make a few small tweaks, and they were more than happy to adjust.

On the wedding day, they absolutely overdelivered. My hair and makeup were everything I wanted and more. I received so many compliments, and I even had a friend ask who I booked because she said it was the best wedding makeup she had ever seen.
If you’re looking for a wedding hair and makeup team, I can’t recommend Galya and her team enough. They are truly the best in the business, and I will forever be grateful to them for making me feel my prettiest on the most special day of my life. 💕

The best!

Galya is truly the BEST of the best. I don’t think my face will ever look as good as it did on my wedding day, and it’s all thanks to her talent. She made me feel absolutely radiant, confident, and beautiful from the moment she started. Beyond her incredible artistry, she is so easy to talk to, funny, and instantly put me at ease on a day that could have been stressful. She has such a calm, joyful energy that made the whole getting-ready process fun and relaxing.

I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do my makeup for such an important day. If you’re a bride looking for someone who will not only make you look flawless but also make you feel comfortable and cared for, Galya is it. I will recommend her a million times over—she is truly amazing!

The best in the business

I cannot say enough amazing things about Galya and her team! From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and incredibly talented. Galya has such a fun yet calm personality that made the whole experience so enjoyable—I was able to relax and not stress at all about how my makeup would turn out. And it turned out perfectly! I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day, truly like the best version of myself. My makeup looked just as flawless at the end of the night as it did at the beginning, even after hours of dancing and celebrating. All of my bridesmaids loved how theirs turned out—one even said, “We have never looked this good!” If you want to look and feel your absolute best, don’t hesitate to book Galya. She is worth every single penny!

The Best Glam Squad Ever!!!!

Galya and her team made me and my girls feel SO beautiful for my wedding!! We received compliments all night about how beautiful our make up and hair were (and how well the make up stayed on and looking fresh!!)

I truly felt like a Disney princess and couldn’t be happier that I chose Galya for my special day!

Not only were the make up and hair services amazing, but she and her team created such a fun vibe throughout the morning! There was so much laughing and joking - it was truly just the best getting ready experience ever!!!

Highly recommend!!

Alejandra and Catherine were absolutely amazing! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calming and positive energy to the room. They stayed on schedule, which helped ease my nerves, and made the whole getting-ready process so enjoyable. My makeup looked flawless and lasted the entire night, and my hair was exactly what I envisioned—Alejandra was able to look at my inspiration photos and recreate the style perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be part of my wedding day.

I wanted full glam, and she delivered beyond my expectations—making everyone look flawless. Without a doubt, booking her was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding.

Galya is truly talented; she knows exactly how to enhance your best features while making sure you still feel like you. My hair and makeup turned out even better than I had imagined, and I felt so confident and beautiful all day.

Beyond their amazing skills, Galya and Shelby brought such a fun, bubbly energy to our morning. They made the getting-ready process so enjoyable, ensuring everyone was comfortable and happy with their look. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to kick off the best day of my life!
