    Wonderful!

    Gohar did such an amazing job doing makeup for myself, my mom, and several of my bridesmaids. She is timely, professional, so kind, and made us all look beautiful for my wedding day! Can’t thank you enough Gohar! So happy I chose you as my makeup artist!

    Excellent experience and beautiful results

    I was a bride in October 22 and hired Gohar for my bridal makeup. She came to the place where we were staying and was professional, kind, efficient, and thorough. I did not opt for a makeup trial as I was coming from out of state and was nervous, but she listened to my vision and made everything absolutely perfect. She also was very flexible in adding on some services day of that were not in the original contract. 10/10 would recommend.

    A true artist!

    Gohar made everyone glow at our wedding! She is so sweet, and really listens to her client's preferences. If you're looking for a natural, dewy look, I highly recommend Gohar! She's a true artist.

    Just WOW! Absolute perfection!

    Gohar is the best makeup artist in Charlottesville, if not the nation! And she's so sweet, professional, and easygoing. I found her at the recommendation of my wedding photographer, and she's since done my makeup three times. Each time, I've looked stunning. She's mastered the natural, clean, flawless look that me and my big bridal party all wanted. We were a diverse group, and everyone looked like the best version of themselves. And it all stayed put despite the rain and humidity, tears of joy, and sweat on the dance floor. She's very responsive over email, but she books up fast so be sure to snag her early!

    She even bought a palette for me!

    Loved working with Gohar - she was so professional and sanitary, using new temporary applicators for everyone. She got exactly the look I was going for and I felt so beautiful and taken care of. At the trial, we couldn't find the perfect purple eyeshadow she already owned - so she bought a new one for the wedding! Wow!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Gohar was amazing!! She was a breeze to communicate with, was wonderful handling our postponed wedding due to COVID, and made me feel the prettiest I've ever felt. I spent a ton of time looking at Instagram pics & reading reviews to find the right make-up artist & after the wedding, my family and I agreed that her work was absolutely wonderful and beautiful. I wouldn't have changed a thing! I would absolutely recommend, especially to someone who is looking for a more natural look on their wedding day that also stands out and looks beautiful in pictures!

    So perfect!

    Gohar is so amazing to work with! She did my wedding party's makeup and everything was so perfect! I highly recommend her services. If I ever need a MUA artist again, I will definitely be going to Gohar :)

    Beautiful Natural Makeup

    Gohar was one of my favorite vendors from our wedding! She did an amazing job and nailed the makeup look I was going for. I really wanted to find a natural makeup artist that could enhance my typical day-to-day makeup look. Gohar also had such an amazing energy and made me feel so calm on a day where I was filled with nerves. I was so amazed at how long my makeup lasted and how good it still looked by the end of the night! Thank you Gohar :)

    Loved my makeup - thanks Gohar!!

    Gohar did my wedding makeup along with 7 bridesmaids and my flower girl in early June. She has such a lovely, calm energy that really helped relax me on the big day -- which was huge for an anxious bride like me! Her work is beautiful, and she really listens to what you want and how you want to look on your wedding day. All of my bridesmaids loved their looks as well -- thank you, Gohar! Wish we could do it all over again.

    Amazing MUA!

    I was lucky enough to find Gohar for my big day and I was more than thrilled with her work! I've had my make up done as a bridesmaid and the looks were always over the top and I didn't feel or look like me.

    I wanted a natural look that would show my favorite features (blue eyes and freckles) and Gohar delivered! She has unbelievable talent and I was blown away for my wedding day for myself, bridesmaids, and mothers!

    Great makeup artist for my 2020 wedding

    Gohar did my makeup for my August 22nd wedding. Originally our wedding was in April and she was very flexible when we had to switch to the new date due to covid restrictions. I did my trial and actual wedding makeup in Gohar's home studio which is bright and relaxing. The makeup was beautiful in my photos and she is very professional and polite.

    Best Decision Ever!

    Booking Gohar for my wedding day was one of the best decisions I made. She was very easy to connect with in the months leading up to our wedding and I so appreciated her responsiveness. Between her calm presence and pristine skill, she was a delight to have with us as we got ready. She put my bridesmaids, mom and mother in law at ease and everyone raved about their makeup. I wish we could do it all over again!

    Exceeded expectations!

    Gohar is WONDERFUL! Before I found Gohar, I had done a trial with another makeup artist and was unhappy with the outcome. It was 1 month before the wedding and I wasn’t able to come to VA for a trial before my wedding (I live in NY). I was SO nervous that whoever I booked next would get it wrong, too. But THANK GOD I booked Gohar! She suggested that we still do a trial the day before the wedding for my rehearsal, which was brilliant. I showed her a couple pictures of what I liked and she NAILED it. It was the perfect balance of natural and glam, and it lasted ALL night. Tears, dancing, eating, drinking, kissing and hugging were no match for Gohar’s work! The bridal party looked BEAUTIFUL as well, and everyone loved their makeup. She even made my mom CRY because she said she had never felt so beautiful in her life, but she still felt like herself. It takes someone special to do that! Gohar was a PLEASURE to work with, she was right on time (early, actually, so she could set up) and she has continued to be a pleasure since then, too! I would love the chance to work with her again, and if I were you, I wouldn’t think twice about hiring her. You’ll be glad you did!!

    Highly recommend!

    Loved working with Gohar for my wedding weekend! She was so kind and did a fantastic job on the makeup for my bridesmaids and myself. She is a great 'listener' and was able to tweak her makeup application depending on your personal preferences.

    She was also really flexible - because of some timing challenges, we had a hard time traveling to Gohar's studio for makeup before my rehearsal dinner. Gohar ended up meeting us at the hair studio to help us out! We were so appreciative!

    Can't recommend her enough! SUPERB!

    Gohar should be in Hollywood doing makeup for the stars on the movie screen, but she is in Charlottesville and you can't pass her up! I can't tell you how confident she made me feel on my wedding day and how many people commented on how great my makeup looked. She was professional, reliable, great with responding to emails, and stuck well to my schedule.

    I cannot recommend her enough!

    Gohar is a Miracle Worker!

    Gohar is so sweet and so talented. She did a beautiful job with my entire bridal party and myself! I have never felt more beautiful. Everyone was so pleased with their make up, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

    Gohar was absolutely wonderful!

    Gohar was so easy to work with and was very professional. She was always easy to get in touch with and was flexible with scheduling. I hardly ever wear makeup and I was afraid it would be too much, but she made my face look and feel so natural. She is truly very talented and I received so may compliments on my wedding day. I can't recommend her enough!

    The best make up artist for your wedding!!

    I looked all over the place for a make up artist. Every page I came across the bride looked beautiful but it looked nothing like them. Until I found Gohar! Gohar makes her brides look and feel beautiful by capturing their own beauty and accentuating it. My makeup looked perfect I could not have been happier with her work.
    She is also so wonderful to work with. She is so sweet and calming and the best person to have by your side on you wedding day!

    Amazing Artist

    Gohar was absolutely amazing. She came to us the morning of the wedding and completed makeup for all of my bridemaids (6), my mom, my mother-in-law, and myself in a timely manner. She listened to each individuals requests and made me look gorgeous on such an important day. Highly recommend!

    Gohar is incredible! I’m so happy that I found her to do my bridal party’s makeup for my wedding. Gohar listened to what I wanted and made me feel gorgeous and confident on my wedding day and for my engagement photos. My makeup lasted the entire night and didn’t need to be touched up at all. I didn’t look fake or overdone; she does an excellent job at enhancing your natural features.

    My bridesmaids and the two moms also loved their makeup. My mom typically does not wear much makeup and she has mentioned several times since the wedding how much she loved her makeup and how pleased she is what how it turned out in pictures. Gohar is very responsive to emails, professional, and extremely sweet! I recommend her 100%!!

    EVERYONE should hire Gohar to do their makeup on their wedding day. She is incredibly talented, efficient, and kind. All of my bridesmaids were over the moon with their makeup, and I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. Would 100% hire her again in the future!!

    Gohar was absolutely amazing. I am so happy I chose her for my wedding day makeup. I chose to go to her studio instead of her coming to me since it was just me getting makeup done. Her studio was clean and a fun setting. She was kind and easy to talk to. My makeup was beautiful and exactly what I pictured. I do wish I had had a dupe of the lipstick she used because by the end of the night after dancing, eating, drinking, etc., it had worn off a bit. But the pictures still turned out well! Definitely pick Gohar for your wedding makeup, you won't be disappointed!

    Gohar was absolutely amazing. My bridesmaids and I looks beautiful. I was looking for a natural yet picture ready look and I had trials with three other makeup artists before finding Gohar. In our first trial I fell in love with her flawless work and on the day of she so lovely and was extremely fast and efficient (all seven of my bridesmaids had their makeup done plus my mom). I would highly recommend her.

    I'm fairly certain there isn't anyone who does makeup better than Gohar in VA. She's an amazing artist, sweet person, and a true professional. If you have the opportunity to hire her, do not hesitate ... just DO IT. You and the ladies in your life will look and feel naturally gorgeous on your wedding day. There aren't enough good things I can say!
