You have to have Tamara for your wedding

Her and Mari were the best! They made everything seamless and went above and beyond to make sure I felt beautiful. I added a spray tan from her and it was the best decision! I felt absolutely glamorous and all the pictures came out stunning.

Absolutely would choose her

Tamara Sabaté is absolutely incredible! She did my wedding hair and makeup, and I could not have been happier with the results. From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and truly listened to the look I was going for. On the wedding day, she made me feel calm, confident, and so beautiful.
My makeup looked flawless in person and in photos, and my hair stayed perfect all day and night — even through all the dancing and Costa Rica humidity! I truly felt like I had just walked off the red carpet. Tamara’s attention to detail and talent really shine through in her work.
She went the extra mile by helping me into my dress and shoes and even doing touch-ups for the girls in my wedding party. That level of care meant so much and made the whole morning feel smooth and stress-free.
If you are looking for a wedding MUA who is reliable, talented, and a joy to work with, I highly recommend Tamara Sabaté. She helped make my day feel extra special!

Destination Wedding in Costa Rica

Tamara was a pleasure to work with from inquiry, to communication throughout, up until the day of my wedding! Thank you so much for being apart of my special day and helping start off the day on a good note. Not only did she made us look beautiful but she also helped with my dress, veil, picking out which earrings to wear and all the little details that made the day run smoother. My hair was exactly what I wanted and curls lasted up until the dancing at the reception. As for our makeup it didn’t move at all and lasted the entire night. I cant thank Tamara and team enough!

We all looked the best possible versions of ourselves!

Tamara did make up and hair at my wedding for my mum, bridesmaids and me. She nailed the brief – glamorous and special but natural – perfectly. We all just looked the best possible version of ourselves. Tamara was also lovely company to have whilst we were getting ready – chatty, funny and calming, and she stayed right until the last moment helping with my dress. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their big day.

Best makeup artist ever!!!

Not sure I could have made it my wedding day without Tamara and her assistant. The makeup was incredible and lasted all night in the heat/humidity. She made us all feel so comfortable and like she was one of the girls getting ready with us. I was actually sad when it was time for her to leave! I highly recommend booking Tamara and her team!

Ive never felt prettier!

Tamara and her team are incredible. They showed up on time, prepared and helped me get ready from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable and coached me throughout the day. My makeup turned out beautiful. I did a makeup trial the day before my wedding and we went step by step to make sure I liked every part of my makeup look. My hair was also incredible! I recommend bringing hair extensions if you want your hair to have alot of volume! 10/10 book them!!!!

Jungle wedding

I found Tamara on Instagram. The process of setting up the contract was quick and easy, I even changed the date and she was able to help me with that. We did a trial and I look great and on the day really I was stunned. I am an older bride and I was being married in the jungle and it was very hot and humid and my luck was just amazing. Both Marie and Tamara did an excellent job. I didn’t even really need to speak too much to them about what to do they just kinda knew they were able to Take a look at me. Take a look at my dress and just kinda get to work even with a couple of shots that I had to save her Instagram. I am so happy with the look and I am also not very comfortable with make up and I really can’t wait to have another excuse again to get my hair and make up done, which says a whole lot.

You need Tammy and her team for your event!!

Tamara and her team were exceptional! Truly more than just a MUA team.

The whole process of planning was seamless, the questions, contract, prep, all great.

The day of they arrived early and quickly set up within our space. We had 8 girls. Every single girl raved about how accurate their expectations to reality were. They truly nailed it!

Tamara did my makeup and it was exactly what I wanted. For someone who doesn’t wear makeup she really gave me a natural glam.

What I actually loved most about her was that she helped me put my dress on, shoes, cover my bug bites, veil, the whole thing. She genuinely was there to help me feel perfect.

She even did the flower girls makeup as they came into the room- what a nice surprise!

I wholeheartedly recommend Tammy and her team for makeup and hair!

Loved these ladies!!!

Our hair and makeup artists were truly phenomenal. These incredible ladies brought so much warmth and calm to the day, and I honestly can’t imagine getting ready without them. They didn’t just make me look and feel amazing, they went above and beyond in every way, reminding me to eat, stay hydrated, breathe, and enjoy the moment.

We did a trial a couple of days before, and they were so thoughtful about adjusting the look afterward so I could wear it out that night without revealing the final wedding look. It was the perfect balance of glam and surprise. On the big day, they were calm, professional, and genuinely uplifting — and even sent me off with a little touch-up kit, which was so appreciated. Absolute dream team.
