Amazing experience!

Wonderful experience, Gohar was very professional and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! I don't typically wear makeup so I wanted a natural look and Gohar far exceeded expectations. She was so lovely to our Jr Bridesmaid and Flower Girl in making them feel included. Highly recommend!

Beautiful natural glam!!!

From start to finish, Gohar was an absolute dream to work with. She was responsive to all my questions, transparent with all pricing, and just overall a delightful person to work with.
She did an absolutely AMAZING job with my makeup and the makeup of ten other women on my wedding day. Literally everyone looked stunning and raved about how incredible her services were. We all wanted more natural looking makeup and she absolutely nailed it.
Thank you, Gohar, for making our special day extra special!!

Excellent experience and beautiful results

I was a bride in October 22 and hired Gohar for my bridal makeup. She came to the place where we were staying and was professional, kind, efficient, and thorough. I did not opt for a makeup trial as I was coming from out of state and was nervous, but she listened to my vision and made everything absolutely perfect. She also was very flexible in adding on some services day of that were not in the original contract. 10/10 would recommend.

A true artist!

Gohar made everyone glow at our wedding! She is so sweet, and really listens to her client's preferences. If you're looking for a natural, dewy look, I highly recommend Gohar! She's a true artist.

She even bought a palette for me!

Loved working with Gohar - she was so professional and sanitary, using new temporary applicators for everyone. She got exactly the look I was going for and I felt so beautiful and taken care of. At the trial, we couldn't find the perfect purple eyeshadow she already owned - so she bought a new one for the wedding! Wow!

Just WOW! Absolute perfection!

Gohar is the best makeup artist in Charlottesville, if not the nation! And she's so sweet, professional, and easygoing. I found her at the recommendation of my wedding photographer, and she's since done my makeup three times. Each time, I've looked stunning. She's mastered the natural, clean, flawless look that me and my big bridal party all wanted. We were a diverse group, and everyone looked like the best version of themselves. And it all stayed put despite the rain and humidity, tears of joy, and sweat on the dance floor. She's very responsive over email, but she books up fast so be sure to snag her early!

Beautiful Natural Makeup

Gohar was one of my favorite vendors from our wedding! She did an amazing job and nailed the makeup look I was going for. I really wanted to find a natural makeup artist that could enhance my typical day-to-day makeup look. Gohar also had such an amazing energy and made me feel so calm on a day where I was filled with nerves. I was so amazed at how long my makeup lasted and how good it still looked by the end of the night! Thank you Gohar :)

Absolutely amazing!

Gohar was amazing!! She was a breeze to communicate with, was wonderful handling our postponed wedding due to COVID, and made me feel the prettiest I've ever felt. I spent a ton of time looking at Instagram pics & reading reviews to find the right make-up artist & after the wedding, my family and I agreed that her work was absolutely wonderful and beautiful. I wouldn't have changed a thing! I would absolutely recommend, especially to someone who is looking for a more natural look on their wedding day that also stands out and looks beautiful in pictures!
