The BEST wedding makeup artist 🤍

I absolutely loved my wedding makeup artists Mimi Tran. She was so professional, flexible, and had such a comforting and calming presence on my wedding day. She went out of her way to accommodate me, my mom & my mother in law for makeup trials prior to the wedding. The morning of your wedding is such a hectic and overwhelming time and she really made the hour & a half in her chair relaxing and peaceful yet exciting. Mimi had an incredible attention to detail and is a very talented makeup artist. She made sure that she was sanitizing all of her utensils prior to using them on me - which is so thoughtful & important. I absolutely loved my makeup & I felt like a princess. Highly recommend Mimi Tran for wedding makeup!

Mimi is great!

Mimi was the best! She was so professional throughout the process- guiding me through the makeup trial, day of wedding schedules, and executing makeup looks on me and my bridesmaids. She is so nice to work with and made the whole experience very pleasant. I was sure my makeup was going to run since it was a hot July day. I was surprised when I didn’t have to touch it up once the whole day! She is one of the best people we worked with and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She does an extraordinarily good job and also is so sweet and accommodating! You will be so happy to have her and her team with you on the day of your wedding.

Amazing Makeup Artist!

Mimi is an INCREDIBLE makeup artist! I had previously worked with her professionally and knew I had to have her do my wedding day makeup. She and her assistant were timely, professional, and also very kind and friendly. They used high-quality products and followed hygienic practices. They did makeup for me, my mother, and my bridal party. Everyone loved the artists and their looks. One of my bridesmaids even said she looked better that day than she did on her own wedding day! I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and my makeup lasted all day! I cannot recommend her enough - 15/10!!!

The best wedding glam!

Mimi was a joy to work with - kind, responsive, so talented, professional, and patient as she worked me to realize my perfect wedding look leading up to the big day. I can say without hesitation, **I have never felt more beautiful than I did in the glam Mimi gave me on my wedding day**. Her work is made for the camera plus lasted all day and night and came out to perfection in our photographs. I can’t recommend her more highly!!

Mimi is hands down the best in the business!

Mimi is hands down the best in the business! I’ve known her for over 5 years and her incredible talent mixed with her calming presence makes the experience both enjoyable and unforgettable especially on your wedding day. She uses high quality products and has the best bedside manner…very neat and clean. So lucky to have her here in the DMV. She truly is the best at what she does and an even better person!

Incredible!

Mimi was so pleasant from start to finish. She made myself and all of my gals feel so good! We all felt natural yet enhanced and confident. The most common comment I’ve heard from wedding day was that I was “glowing” - thanks to Mimi! Not only is she so talented, but she is lovely to spend your wedding or event day with. She is calming yet fun, and she even took some candid BTS footage as we were taking pictures!

Mimi is an absolute joy to work with! Not only is she highly professional, but her artistry is truly exceptional. No matter what the bride or bridesmaids envision, she and her team deliver beautifully every time. They bring a calming presence to the often-chaotic getting-ready process, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Mimi and her amazing team!

Highly recommend!

Mimi was so great to work with! I booked a trial with her in January of 2024 before fully booking her for my wedding. At the trial, she was very sweet and kind and created two options for my bridal look which gave me time to decide which one to choose.

Come wedding day - everyone in my bridal party loved their looks and I cannot say enough good things about Mimi! She is responsive and trustworthy and I am so glad she did my makeup for my wedding. She was able to create a look that elevated my features in a way I didn’t know possible, while still allowing me to look and feel like my authentic self. I highly recommend future brides to book Mimi!
