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 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.

Makeup Artist Caitlin 

5.0

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $650
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

I'm a bridal makeup artist based in NYC. Makeup Artistry has been my passion for many years and nothing gives me more joy than bringing to life the vision someone has for their special day. Soft glam makeup is my specialty and Iove helping brides feel their most confident on their wedding day!

Caitlin did an amazing job. To begin with, she was very sweet, communicative, and helpful in the early part of the process. I do not wear a lot of makeup and don't know much about it, but she guided me through every step, even outlining the sorts of searches I could on Pinterest to find examples I liked. She made me feel confident that she understood what I was comfortable with even though we could not have a pre-bridal appointment due to distance. Then, on day of, Caitlin went above and beyond. She arrived ahead of schedule, brought everything she needed, provided lots of goodies, attention and skincare, and delivered a stellar makeup. To note, it was an insanely hot and humid summer day in New York (91 degrees and 85% humidity). I don't know what magic Caitlin worked on my face, but the makeup stayed on ALL DAY AND NIGHT. It was so astounding that almost every single guest commented on it (everyone else was sweating their faces off—sorry!). I looked like an elevated version of myself and was so so happy with it. Thank you for being such a key part of a great day, Caitlin!

Zuzu Studio 

5.0

  • Team of 4
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

A bit about me: My name is Zuleika, I am a native New Yorker, cat mom, and lover of all things *magic*. In my experience of doing hair and makeup for over 15 years, I pride myself in my work and love connecting with new people. I work with all hair textures, lengths, and densities. I especially love styling curly hair and creating beautiful hair pieces with flowers & accessories. I work out of my studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and am available for destination weddings!

Zuleika was an absolute DREAM to work with. She did hair and makeup for me and my 2 bridesmaids (each with completely different hair and complexions than myself) and we all looked like the best versions of ourselves. That was VERY important to me - I only wear mascara so the idea of a full face of makeup was not appealing to me. During our trial, Zuleika redid my face 3 times until it had the exact look I wanted - which was incredibly natural. She was so easy to work with and didn’t mind at all that I was so particular. Hair was also gorgeous! I had wanted to do soft waves with a hair piece holding back half of my hair. Well, 90% humidity changed that plan at the last minute! The morning of my wedding I went onto Pinterest to get a few updo looks. I showed them to Zuleika, explained the tweaks I wanted, and she nailed the look I was going for on the first try. I usually hate updos and was sad that I wasn’t going to be able to wear my hair down, but in the end, it was for the best! My hair and makeup stayed in tact all night. One of my bridesmaids didn’t personally love her hairstyle (even though I thought it looked great), so Zuleika was able to completely re-work it in 5 minutes. She’s flexible, fun and oh so talented. Highly recommend!!!

Precious Nichole Makeup 

5.0

  • Team of 1
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

If you cry, I’ll cry with you. To say that I’m a lover of love would be an absolute understatement. Bridal makeup is a mixture of my two favorite things: makeup and love. Love is the foundation of everything I do. There’s nothing like watching a person fall in love with the beauty that’s already there. Over and over. This is the moment I can’t wait to share with you. Makeup shouldn’t hide you, it should reveal you. That’s the heart and soul of all that I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Precious is SO talented. Not only is she a long term friend, but I've seen her grow her career. She started at MAC, but her passion truly shows in her business. She asks you what you want in your trial and buys make up specific to each bride's skin type and wants and needs for their wedding day. My day of wedding was even better than my trial which I don't know how was possible! I was going for a natural look. I even offered my expensive foundation and lipstick to use on my wedding day, but she knew that didn't match me so she used hers instead and I totally trust her judgment. I am no pro- she is! She even did lip touch ups right before I walked down the aisle. Last, she really accommodated me during COVID and made my trial work. After our original date was postponed, she worked with me to accommodate my new date. I planned an out of state wedding so I had limited times available to do the trial. I ended up doing my trial the night before which worked great because I had amazing make up for my rehearsal dinner night. I highly encourage you to hire precious no matter what state. She is willing to travel and she is SO worth your special day.

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!

Lil’ Chop

Lil’ Chop is here to offer quick, yet quality hair services. We’ve taken Headchop’s top requested chop and styling services to create an atmosphere providing to our folks on the go! Our express studio provides perks with quarterly memberships, group bookings for you plus a crew, and a genuinely new way to experience being taken care of ;)

More than anything, I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day. That meant I was committed to wearing a curly hairstyle with my natural texture. After searching for curl specialists near my venue in the Hudson Valley (and striking out repeatedly), I asked my hairdresser if anyone at Lil' Chop did weddings. As it turned out, Martha Ellen Mabry, the shop's owner, loves styling clients for their big day and was available for my date. Booking her was a no-brainer. I felt an instant connection and trust with Martha Ellen, who worked closely with me in our trial to ensure that my updo was not only the look I wanted but comfortable to wear for many, many hours. On my wedding day, she was a bright, calm and fun presence, and she totally nailed the look that everyone was hoping to achieve. My hair looked amazing all night, and the pins were placed so comfortably that I was able to fall asleep with the updo in. I'm so grateful that Martha Ellen was able to be part of my team, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

For my wedding she had those notes and made the changes happen! I was SO happy with my overall experience and final look. She was always very professional, sweet, and really nice to work with. I definitely recommend!

I started my career in beauty going to cosmetology school directly after high school. For me it was a quick way to hit the job market as a young single mother. If you asked me back then I would have said "beauty school is just a way to pay for college". After graduating BS and working in a salon I started college soon to realize that beauty was my absolute calling. I was scouted by a photographer and started shooting every week. I then made my way into NYMBFW. After that, two years in I booked my first celeb client. There really was no looking back after that, I fell in love! In 2014 I glammed my first bride realizing this was my calling!

I was lucky to work with Mary-Ashanti for my bridal hair and makeup. She has a great energy, is incredibly affirming of whatever vision you have, and will start your wedding day off right. She will ask you throughout the process if you like the direction she is going in, and is very receptive to feedback. I really appreciate that she was willing to be creative when I threw her a few curveballs in terms of what we had planned for my hair on the day of the wedding. I also really appreciate that she is skilled with curly hair and encourages me to keep my hair curly and natural. I highly recommend working with Mary-Ashanti!

I cater to all types of weddings and can serve any style the client requests. I work in a timely yet efficient manner. Always punctual and professional. You can check all my work BridalbyNatalieMichelle

I was married back in September 2023 and had the pleasure of working with Natalie 3 times for our wedding events. She beautified me for my bridal shower and then our 2 wedding events (Hindu Wedding and Mexican Wedding). For my Bridal Shower, I have never received SO many compliments like I did for my hair and makeup. My friends and family raved about how beautiful I looked and I gave all the credit (and hopefully some new business!) to Natalie! She truly made me start to feel like a Bride on that day. For our first wedding event, the Hindu Wedding, Natalie and her I DO CREW 3 (Yvonne), came early in the morning to my mom's home to glam my bridal party and myself. This could not have been a more enjoyable and fun experience to kickoff our first wedding event! Natalie and Yvonne did an incredible job with making sure all 5 of us had gorgeous glam makeovers that lasted ALL DAY and beautiful hairstyles that stayed intact even through all the dancing! Natalie truly made me feel like a queen on this day and I could not have been happier!! For our Mexican Wedding, Natalie met us at the venue and we had an amazing time getting all dolled up one final time. My hair and makeup, as the bride, was stunning. It was everything that I envisioned for my Mexican Wedding and it truly made me so happy that I went with Natalie as my bridal hair stylist/makeup artist. She truly is the best in this business! Our whole bridal party who had their hair/makeup done absolutely loved working with Natalie and her team. We cannot thank you enough for making us all feel extra beautiful for these events. I will highly recommend Natalie and the I Do Crew to any brides!

Makeup by Lucas

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Lucas knew at a young age that his future consisted of getting to work with others while simultaneously creating art and beauty. Lucas moved to NYC at the age of eighteen from the deep south ready to hit the ground running and chase his every dream. He attended a makeup and design school and after completion wasted no time getting his career started. After years of working in the makeup artist industry, Lucas has tried a taste of just about anything you could think of. Between personal clients, celebrities, editorial photo shoots, and of course weddings, Lucas has truly come to understand his strength and success when working with brides.

Lucas is the most talented makeup artist I've ever met/experienced. I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding (and the day of my makeup trial) and it's without a doubt because of him. My wedding make up lasted perfectly all day and night (12 hours: from first look through the after party). He thinks of everything, and even built in buffer time to his own schedule that day so that he could stay through our first look and private vows, in case I cried, before leaving for another client. So professional, so talented, so kind, and SO FUN. Hire him immediately for any event.
