Book with Seema!

I have nothing but good things to say about Seema as both a person and a makeup artist. As a woman of color and someone who rarely wears makeup, I was really anxious about booking a makeup artist for my wedding. From our first conversation to the bridal trial and then the wedding day, Seema was responsive, warm, transparent, flexible, and detail-oriented. She is a true artist who made everyone (bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law) look beautiful while highlighting each person's unique features. Seema has a calming presence and went above and beyond (even helping us to get dressed in our Indian outfits and providing me with a touch-up kit for later). She cares deeply about her clients and takes time to understand your unique skin type and desired look. For example, I tend to sweat a lot and was concerned about my makeup running and/or looking shiny. To my pleasant surprise, my makeup stayed put and looked fresh throughout the night without feeling heavy or cakey. Book with Seema today. I promise that you won't regret it!

Simply the best!

My experience with Seema was amazing! She is truly an artist and a professional in every sense of the word. I could not be happier with how my wedding make up looked and she made sure that my mom and all my bridesmaids looked perfect. I’ll be recommending Seema to everyone I know!

Best mua ever!

Seema was absolutely phenomena!!! We clicked instantly! She was/is very kind, professional and comforting. She made sure I loved every little detail and if I wanted to tweak something small she was all for it with such a positive attitude! It was so nice to have not only such a great makeup artist but a friend during the stressful times of wedding planning. The bridesmaids and Moms also loved their makeup and kept raving about how sweet and personal she was. Even my photographer commented late during the reception about how my makeup still looked as incredible as when it was first applied. True artistry, I couldn't recommend Seema enough!!

Seema is amazing

Seema is the absolute best!  I cannot say enough good things about her. She instantly made me feel at ease when we first met. She was thorough in understanding my skin type and gave me recommendations prior to the wedding. Her makeup is absolutely flawless!! She  was especially kind to my mom who was very apprehensive to have her makeup done professionally for the wedding. Seema encouraged her to bring her own make up and it made her feel so comfortable. You would be foolish not to hire her for your wedding or any special occasion  I highly recommend Seema!

100% recommend Seema for wedding/event makeup!

I can’t say enough good things about Seema. From the moment she arrived, her calm and sweet energy instantly put me at ease. It felt like having a friend there to support me, not just a makeup artist. She made my face look absolutely flawless and did a stunning job on my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law too. Everyone felt so beautiful and so well taken care of. I also enjoyed doing my makeup trial prior to the wedding with her. Seema really listens to what you want, enhances your natural features, and works with such gentle, professional care. She is the kind of vendor every bride hopes to have on her team: talented, kind, and grounding on a whirlwind day. I’d recommend her to any Virginia bride!

Amazing Makeup Artist!

Seema did a wonderful job on my makeup for my wedding day! She did makeup for myself, three bridesmaids, and my mom. Seema was proactive about setting up a consultation/trial run prior to my wedding day. She listened to what I wanted, and delivered the perfect light and natural look that I requested. She used high quality makeup and she recommended some products for me to add to my skincare routine. She arrived on time on my wedding day and was very professional. She worked wonderfully with my hair person and photographer to make sure we were on schedule and captured photos. Most importantly everyone’s makeup looked fabulous and lasted the entire night! I highly recommend Seema if you are looking for a makeup artist!

Highly recommend - 5 stars!

Seema took the time to listen to what I wanted at my make up trial, and surpassed my expectations. Seema immediately felt like a friend I could trust and provided multiple skincare products that I have continued to use and love to this day. She checked in with me multiple times before the wedding to confirm schedules, explain the process, and make sure I was feeling comfortable and confident. I truly appreciate the level of care she provided during that time. On the day of the wedding, she promptly made a connection with each friend and family member, listening to what they wanted and making everyone feel beautiful and confident. I am so grateful for her guidance and support leading up to and on our wedding day. She was a friendly, calming presence that put us at ease... highly recommend!
