I had the pleasure of working with Marieanne as my wedding makeup artist, and I can't recommend her enough! She truly made me and my bridal party feel beautiful and natural, which was exactly what we were hoping for. She worked incredibly fast without sacrificing quality, and everything was done on time, which kept the day running smoothly. We all felt like ourselves—just a more radiant version! Marieanne's skill and professionalism made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you're looking for a makeup artist who can enhance your natural beauty while making you feel amazing, Marieanne is the one! -

Marieanne is a rare gem in this industry - Her talent and professionalism will put all your wedding concerns and stresses at ease! I booked her for my October 2024 wedding, myself and the 8 women in the wedding party could not have been happier with her work!
As advertised, Marieanne has a special talent in applying a 'natural' makeup look. When I booked my bridal trial with her a few weeks out from my wedding day, I remember leaving her studio feeling beautiful and empowered. She talked through every application of product, sharing techniques along the way and pausing for feedback on color palettes / product selection. Even taking the time to teach me some tips for perfecting the delicate cat eye I had been struggling to do on myself for years!
Marieanne was warm, welcoming and met my sass with just enough back, I thought I might ruin her hard work with my laughter tears by the end of the trial session!
The awareness / knowledge of her field and attention to detail she has is also unmatched. As a bride in the midst of wedding planning chaos, you may find yourself shying away from taking the time to complete yet another form...but I PROMISE you that it is THIS thoroughness to create tailored plans for you and your wedding party that sets Marieanne apart from her Industry peers!
Questions like, "what products do you use" or "how would you describe your makeup preferences" are typical and expected. What was not expected was the thoughtfulness that went into understanding skin history, wedding party relationships and stimulus preferences (loud / quiet room) to ensure each client felt comfortable, safe and beautiful. Not only did this give my wedding party and I a far more personal one-on-one cosmetic experience, but it aided in everyone feeling their absolute best, (physically, mentally and emotionally) to carry out the perfect wedding day!
PHOTO NOTES: All in all , the final makeup looks were flawless (as advertised). Much of the bridal party, including myself, went with airbrush foundation and it did not cake, run or come off, despite hours on a sweaty dance floor and being hoisted into the air!
I cannot recommend Marieanne of Flawless Cosmetic Design enough for your wedding day or other special events! She is truly one of the best out there and feel honored to have had her be part of my special day! -

If you’re searching for a wedding makeup artist, stop right here—Marieanne is simply unparalleled. Her talent is extraordinary, but what truly sets her apart is the calm, uplifting energy she brings to every moment. From the first time we met, I felt completely at ease in her hands, knowing how deeply she cares about helping you feel your most radiant and confident self.
Marieanne’s expertise goes beyond just makeup; her skincare tips and product recommendations have become staples in my routine long after the wedding. On my big day, she worked her magic not only on me but on my entire bridal party, creating looks that were both timeless and stunning. She has an incredible ability to enhance your natural beauty, ensuring you feel authentically yourself—just elevated to a version you didn’t think possible.
Even with a few stress-related blemishes, Marieanne’s artistry made them vanish completely, leaving me feeling flawless. From the first brushstroke to the final touch, she made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, and her work held perfectly through tears, laughter, and all the celebrations.
Marieanne, thank you for being such a wonderful part of my wedding journey. I can’t imagine having shared those special moments with anyone else. You are truly a gift to every bride lucky enough to work with you. -

Lilianna Sent on 01/19/2024Exceptional experience
I was lucky enough to have Marieanne on my team for my wedding day. Marieanne is extremely talented - she is a true master of her art. I have never felt so beautiful, calm, confident, and flawless while getting my makeup done prior to sitting in Marieanne's chair. Marieanne studies each individuals face, and very precisely creates her magic. The entire processes, including the wedding makeup trial was flawless. If you want to feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day, hire Marieanne. She takes her time and listens what you want, while having the experience and eye to know what will bring out each individuals true beauty. Not only did she do exceptional job on myself and my wedding party, she truly carried herself with respect, poise, happiness, and attention to detail on our wedding day. I cannot thank Marieanne enough for being an integral part of our wedding day and planning process. -

I really appreciated her clear and consistent communication leading up to the wedding day, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Marieanne is not only incredibly talented but also a true professional. From the moment I reached out, she was responsive and attentive. During my trial, she took the time to listen to my preferences, offered valuable suggestions, and ensured I loved the final look... no matter how long it took.
On my wedding day, Marieanne arrived punctually and with a positive, calming presence that instantly put all at ease. She flawlessly executed the makeup look we had discussed during my trial. My bridesmaids and even my mom (who wears minimal makeup) were equally impressed with their makeup. Her attention to detail is remarkable.
What truly sets Marieanne apart is her ability to create makeup that enhances your natural beauty and looks stunning in person and photographed beautifully.
If you're searching for a wedding makeup artist who is not only exceptional at what she does but also a joy to work with, Marieanne is the perfect choice. -

Marieanne is a truly beautiful person inside and out! Marieanne is incredibly knowledgeable, wildly talented and extremely thoughtful. For my wedding day, Marieanne was able to do makeup for 12 of us, all on her own – airbrushing and doing beautiful makeup for everyone. She has an amazing talent for putting each individual person at ease, giving them personalized makeup that makes everyone shine! Marieanne creates individualized packages of makeup applicators for each person, ensuring the utmost care for cleanliness and safety. Marieanne is a must hire for your wedding! She made my family and friends feel so comfortable, made my wedding weekend incredibly special and ensured everything went perfectly. Highly recommend that everyone works with Marieanne for all of your wedding makeup needs! -

Brittany Sent on 04/09/2023Incredibly sweet, kind, and talented
Marieanne was amazing to work with. I can’t praise her work and energy enough. She was extremely professional, and made me feel at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and airbrush techniques. She doesn’t make you look cakey AT ALL. I really wanted a very subtle and natural look and she nailed it for me, my mother, MIL and all my bridesmaids. It rained the day of my August wedding in Vermont, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at our makeup, which stayed put throughout the outdoor ceremony in the rain and into the wee hours of the morning. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a very talented, organized, and personable makeup artist with a lot of expertise. She even helped me find a new hairstylist that came highly recommended by her, after a mishap with the original hairstylist I hired. After seeing Marieanne’s work, I trusted her opinion to help me find someone, and boy did she pull through. The hairstylist she recommended was just as talented and amazing to be around as her. Marieanne is THE makeup artist to go to for your wedding makeup. I honestly don’t think I’d trust anyone but her to do the job, and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. -

Marieanne is an incredible makeup artist; I was so happy with my wedding day look as were all my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, and my grandma (who looked fabulous). Marieanne is extremely attentive to your style and preferences and enhances your natural beauty. Not only is she a wonderful artist, she's also a kind, calming presence to have with you on the morning of your wedding. Highly recommend! -

Meredith Sent on 01/01/2022A truly incredible talent
Where to begin? Marieanne is an incredibly talented and professional makeup artist. Before I got engaged, I had been a bridesmaid in 12 weddings and had a very specific vision for how I wanted my makeup to look on my wedding day. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find someone in Vermont who would be able to deliver what I was looking for. After researching extensively, Marieanne was the first vendor I reached out to after I booked my venue. She was highly reviewed, and after an introductory call I knew right away that she was going to be great.
Like so many others, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. Marieanne was so supportive and comforting during such a stressful time. Although we hadn’t met in person yet at that point, it was clear that she was such a warm person. I was very concerned about COVID-19, but Marieanne made me feel so comfortable as she had extensive safety measures for the trial and day-of.
When I had my trial Marianne was so thorough and worked with me to put together my wedding day vision. A few months later on my wedding day, I had a change of heart about my lip color. Marieanne was able to spontaneously choose the perfect alternative and adjust my wedding day look perfectly. I couldn’t have been happier. I’m someone who loves a dramatic look with my makeup, but most of my bridesmaids preferred a much more natural look. Marieanne helped everyone feel so beautiful that day.
I truly could not be happier with the service that Marieanne provided on my wedding day and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone planning a wedding in Vermont.

Marieanne from our very first phone call stood out from the rest. Her genuine questions and quest to get to know me and my future husband blew me away. Her attention to details put my nerves to ease. I knew whatever I wanted or threw at her, she could handle. She was so responsive and made sure no detail was missed. Now to the makeup..flawless. Absolutely above and beyond my wildest dreams. The makeup was natural and photographed beautiful. I literally woke up the next morning with my makeup perfectly still in place. -

Marienne is amazing, this was my second time working with her (I was a bridesmaid in another wedding she did a few years back). She has perfected the natural bridal look and is also great about giving you advice/direction based on your facial structure to make you feel like your most confident self. She is also very calming - I relished the hour I spent in her makeup chair on my wedding day ! This was my second time working with her. -

Marieanne was the makeup artist for my sister's wedding at the end of October in Stratton, VT. She did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job! I have been in 10 weddings, and have never been so happy with how my makeup has looked. As a certified aesthetician, her understanding of skin types is unmatched. She uses products based on your individual skin type - rather than a one-size-fits-all approach - and she even gave me product recommendations to support a better skin care routine in my daily life. She really enhanced everyone's natural beauty, yet all the girls still looked like themselves. She was also so kind and super personable - I enjoyed the conversation as much as the makeup. Marieanne said "I want you to look like you - but red-carpet you." And she delivered! I would give her 100 stars if I could!! The BEST makeup artist I have ever worked with!!! Worth every penny. -

Ruth Sent on 11/03/2021Highly recommend booking Flawless Cosmetic Design!
I had a fantastic experience working with Marieanne for my wedding at the end of October! She was extremely professional, organized and thorough and was a joy to work with. From my initial inquiry she was quick to respond and answer all of my questions and truly made an effort to understand my style, level of comfort with makeup, and vision for the day. She did makeup for my five bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law and everyone commented on how pleased they were with their makeup. I would highly recommend booking Flawless Cosmetic Design! -

Melissa Sent on 03/07/2020I cannot recommend Flawless Cosmetic Design enough!
I was originally on the fence about hiring a makeup artist for our wedding because I never really feel myself with a full face of makeup. I am SO glad that I ultimately decided working with Marieanne. Marieanne knew my concerns going into this process and was thoughtful and patient while we collaborated to achieve the perfect wedding look that made me feel comfortable and beautiful. It also photographed perfectly!
In addition to providing my perfect wedding day makeup, Marieanne did a great job on my bridesmaids' and mother's makeup. She was so easy to work with and had such a calming presence that was welcomed during our busy morning. Everyone looked and felt beautiful, and we all appreciated our quiet time in Marieanne's makeup chair.
Working with Marieanne was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning! I would absolutely refer my closest friends and family to Flawless Cosmetic Design.

Tina Sent on 12/17/2019Truly Cared
Make-up is something I know less than nothing about. And it isn't just me! Out of my wedding party, only my maid-of-honor wears make-up regularly, and that is just mascara. For my wedding, I knew I needed a professional, because none of us knew what we were doing.
Marieanne Souza knows what she is doing! She ensured that every member of my party felt their best, while looking like themselves. As a person who doesn't wear make-up, I was terrified to look "unlike myself" to my husband on our special day. Marieanne listened to my fears, talked me through each step and made sure I felt beautiful before leaving her make-up chair.

Marieanne was the one vendor I worked with leading up to and on my wedding day who felt like part of my family. She is a wonderful person to spend time with, learn from and of course, is an incredible makeup artist. I felt lucky to work with her and could not recommend her enough for brides looking for a flawless, airbrushed, natural makeup look! -

I cannot say enough nice things about Marieanne. She is a dream to work with. She is extremely professional and so easy to work with. We talked for nearly an hour during our first phone call, not just about her services about also about our lives. Her desire to really get to know each one of her clients is what makes her so special. She did an amazing job at building a relationship with me during the planning process so that by the time the big day rolled around greeting her felt like greeting an old friend. Her desire to really get to know her clients is what I believe makes her so special.
Marieanne has a calming presence and helped me center myself during the big day. She is also just an amazingly talented makeup artist. I loved my wedding look. I looked the best I have ever looked, but I still looked like myself. Also, my makeup held up for 12+ hours, which included 4 hours of nonstop dancing and even light rain during the after party (which was outside). When I went to take my makeup off well after 2am I was amazed at how little it had changed throughout everything.
Throughout the process, Marieanne gave thorough information and was incredibly responsive. She is also very accommodating. When I wanted to switch to airbrush makeup two weeks before the wedding she agreed and was flexible when that meant having to switch up the makeup the order.
You will not regret hiring Marieanne for your wedding day. She is the best of the best and will not only make you look stunning but will help you feel your best as well. -

Marieanne did such an amazing job creating natural looking makeup for the entire bridal party! She met with me prior to wedding to create a look that was exactly what I wanted. She was so easy to work with and very receptive. I didn't think I needed a makeup artist at first but I would highly recommend, it made the day off so much more relaxing and she made everyone look FLAWLESS! -

Danielle Sent on 12/28/2016I am so glad I chose Marieanne to do my makeup for my wedding day. She was so kind and knowledgeable and made me feel so relaxed. Marieanne did the makeup for all of my bridesmaids as well as my mom. She did such a terrific job of bringing out all of the girls natural beauty and making everyone feel so confident. My makeup stayed on the whole night and I did not need to worry about running to the bathroom every second to touch up. I have already referred my friend to Marieanne and would highly recommend her to anyone else who is in the area. Thank you Marieanne for your beautiful work!!! -
