Beautiful Makeup and Unforgettable Energy!

Samar was an absolute joy to work with! She was incredibly kind and communicative, and on my wedding day, she brought such a calm, fun, and uplifting energy. I absolutely loved my makeup, and all my bridesmaids looked stunning. She kept hyping me up, making me feel confident and beautiful as I stepped into my big day.

Amazing Wedding Makeup

Samar is a great makeup artist. She is so sweet and really listens to what you want. I was able to do my trial in 2020 before we had to postpone our wedding reception but she was flexible and available for our new 2021 date. She did a fantastic job of traditional makeup with fake lashes for myself, my mom, and my maid of honor. None of us wear a ton of makeup on a daily basis but we were so happy with her soft makeup and felt beautiful all night long! I would definitely recommend Samar for your wedding makeup needs.

Samar was Fantastic!

Samar was absolutely fantastic! I do not wear much makeup in my everyday life and I was sure to let her know that. We did 2 trials one with airbrush and one with traditional application so I could choose which I would like best. She was sure to ask me what I liked and disliked and was open to my feedback on what I liked or what I wanted to change. She also smartly recommended I bring my own lipstick so that I could reapply throughout the day. I would highly recommend Samar for makeup for your wedding day and honestly any other special occasion you would want professional makeup for. I cannot thank her enough!

Talented Make-up artist!

From the moment I met Samar, I knew she was going to do my make-up for my wedding. She was professional, honest, and made me feel at ease! I knew I wanted a "natural" look for my day and Samar nailed it! The best part was that she didn't make changes without consulting me first. If she felt like a little more eyeliner would make my eyes pop, she would ask before adding it which made me feel like she truly cared about my opinion. My skin felt great the entire day, even though it was 80 degrees out! Samar was calm and my saving grace the morning of my wedding day...she really is the best! So glad I chose her!

Totally and Completely Wonderful!

Samar is hands down one of the best people I have met! I first met her when she did our makeup for my best friend's wedding and she was awesome. I hired her for my wedding and from the trial to the big day, she was super friendly, professional, and just awesome! She was great with the communication, explaining everything clearly and making sure I had no questions and understood everything. She nailed the look I was going for, and make my bridesmaids feel comfortable. She did a great job going glam for me and natural for my bridesmaids and the moms. Her prices for airbrush makeup were cheaper than the quotes I had gotten from a few other salons for regular makeup. I HIGHLY recommend her !!

I cannot say enough about Samar and how wonderful it was to work with her. From the minute we met at my trial I knew that I had found the perfect artist for my wedding day. She immediately puts you at ease, and has an immense talent for making you look like the best version of yourself. Samar was on time, ready to go, and brought the right energy needed for a fun and stress free wedding morning. All of my bridal party loved their looks and are now actively trying to create occasions just to have Samar work her magic on us again. Do not hesitate to contact her if you are looking for one of the best in the business!

Samar was great! She is very responsive, from the first e-mail I sent her inquiring about her services to day-of details. We did a trial, but I decided to change a few details last minute and Samar made it happen. My mom looked great as well, she doesn't wear much makeup and looked very tired, but Samar made her look bright eyed!

Samar is unquestionably an excellent makeup artist and a wonderful person. She listens carefully to what her clients are looking for and executes it beautifully. Not only do I get to enjoy regularly teaming up to work with Samar but I've also gotten to be on the other side having my makeup done by her. She will be doing the makeup for my wedding next fall and I know that she will be just as amazing for my big day as she is for every bride she works with. I can always put my trust in Samar to be punctual, talented, reliable and an overall blast to be around. I can't recommend her enough!
