Kara is officially one of my favorite people! I knew this was magic in the making from our initial makeup trial, but she really floored both myself and my bridal party with her incredible skills. I asked her to keep it light and preserve my face and she legitimately made magic. I couldn't be happier with the result, and wish I could just keep a Kara in my pocket at all times! She is insanely talented, very sweet and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a multi-fasceted makeup artist!

Ashleigh Cascio MUA 

5.0

  • Starts at $85
  • Serves Forest, VA

When picking vendors for your wedding take into consideration that we are all unique and have our own individual styles. Especially your glam team! Some artists shine best when doing full glam, others excel at that naturally flawless look, and then there’s everything in between! Know what you want and pick an artist whose style matches your preference. My preferred style is soft glam with a lot of color on the face! Gimme all of the blush and bronzer. I like soft blurred lines and some smoke on the eyes. I hardly ever bake and when given the option, I will always opt for a “lit from within” glow.

Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic. She has such a cute and bubbly personality. When I first met her she was so warm and inviting. I don’t know how but she literally knew EXACTLY what I wanted. I look back at my pictures and I genuinely am shocked at how beautiful the makeup is. Everything I wanted her to focus on was absolutely perfect and she went above and beyond. Also- you know she’s dang good when people were complimenting my BRIDESMAIDS and mom’s makeup at the wedding. So many people asked who did it. As someone who has been a bridesmaid many times, I have never had anyone really compliment our makeup. I cannot reiterate this enough. BOOK HER!!!

Strange Artistry - Luxury Makeup & Hair by Kristin Mastrangelo

  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Forest, VA

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give more stars I would! Kristin was such a treat to work with. Not only does she do an AMAZING job with makeup, she is honestly such a sweet person. She made the day even more special and I was honored to have her a part of it. She was kind and sweet and open to ideas. Everyone in my family loved her. Makeup wise, she is awesome! My makeup stayed on all day! We got married in Luray Caverns and took photos by the willow trees, it was hot but the makeup stayed on and still looked amazing. If you need a makeup artist for your big day, Kristin is your girl! Thanks so much for being a part of my day!

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

Awarded Best of Zola
My experience was nothing short of incredible! Hair and makeup was one of the most important vendors to me so when I saw the work that the Veux team produced I knew that I needed to book. They checked in on my several times during the process and really worked with me to narrow down my ideas. I am extremely happy with my wedding day results and I encourage any bride reading this to invest in this service. They are everything that they say more.

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types. Since she loved to get her makeup done and did not have a place to go, she decided to educate herself and be there. Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Kendra Bliss Beauty provided an amazing and phenomenal experience on our wedding day. Their communication style was personable, and the quality of their work was truly breathtaking and professional. Kendra made sure to keep the mood light and was incredibly accommodating, making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

I had the pleasure of having Lilliam do my hair and makeup from a styled bridal shoot recently and I absolutely love the way it all turned out! The makeup was lightweight but full coverage and she knew exactly what to do with my brows, so they didn't look too overdone (which is often a problem for me when I get my makeup done)! Also, her skill for updos is out of this world. She is a true artist when it comes to both hair and makeup and matching your aesthetic, dress, theme, etc!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence. She also made sure that everyone felt beautiful and was more than willing to change anything anyone didn't like. I cannot recommend her enough she is beyond talented and over all a very genuine and kind person!
