I wanted a nice natural looking glow for my wedding day—nothing too dark or “fake” looking. Blaire chose the perfect color for my skin and it made me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day! When I booked the appointment, she sent me pre-treatment care to follow so that I would have the most even tan. During the spray tan, I felt so comfortable in front of her and she walked me through every step of the way. At the end, she applied delicious scented powder to keep my tan even and reviewed the post-care instructions with me. The next day, she checked in with me to make sure everything was perfect—which it was. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my tan. I’ve had spray tans in the past that had a funny smell too and this spray tan did not. It also didn’t rub off/transfer into my wedding dress which was something I was worried may happen. 10/10 would recommend a spray tan from Blaire for your big day!

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.

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!!

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 is the ultimate professional! As a Photographer, I rely on my Makeup Artist to do work that makes it easy for me to photograph and retouch. Whenever Kendra does makeup for my clients (as she is my preferred vendor), the makeup is flawless and I'm rarely doing any retouching. Aside from her makeup application, she's the ultimate professional. She's always on time, reliable, my clients always have a good experience and she's extremley creative!

Ne'Kea and the Art of Beauty team were impeccable. I needed someone who could do both makeup and hair, and my wedding party had a spectrum of races, skin tones and hair types. This was not a problem at all for Ne'Kea and her team. Contacting her was easy and her responsiveness was prompt and professional. She worked with me to schedule my trial, which could have been a challenge because I live in New York and the wedding was in Baltimore. We ended up doing the trial near me in New Jersey and it couldn't have been more convenient. We had some last minute schedule changes with my bridal party on the day of the wedding and the team handled it easily. And my makeup and hair were exactly what I had envisioned. Everything was perfection!

Candace truly helped me to bring my wedding vision to fruition. As a person who does not wear make-up on a daily basis, I wanted a look that was still me but with some pizzazz. Candace delivered! Even during the process, she checked in with me regularly to make sure that I was comfortable with the look and was flexible in dialing it back when I felt that we were moving into a glam zone that I was not comfortable with. Her and Brittany took care with by bridesmaid and Brittany even made my sweet little flower girl feel included with some faux make up application. It was an amazing start to an amazing day.

I would absolutely recommend Seema Sikka to any future bride (or anyone else interested in booking professional makeup services). Seema is thoughtful, attentive, knowledgeable, and so very kind. I felt confident in the makeup service I would be receiving even before my makeup trial based on the presentation of her work on Instagram. After my trial, I really knew I had made the right choice! She took time to listen closely to my preferences and created the exact look I was hoping for. She also recommended and provided samples for skin care based on my skin, as well as a link to order the touch-up makeup I would need on wedding day. I was able to purchase the exact shades and products she would be using so my touch-ups would match perfectly! Before the wedding, she created a wedding day schedule for me and my bridesmaids to follow. On wedding day, she arrived right on time and got to work, keeping us on schedule and on time for bridesmaid photos. She was so friendly and welcoming with all of my girls, and I know everyone loved her. She listened carefully to each person when it was their turn in the chair and created a look that everyone absolutely loved. Our makeup lasted ALL day and night!! We all felt so beautiful and confident, and we received so many compliments on our makeup. I will absolutely book Seema again for any future special events and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any future bride!

Quanisha always loved makeup, and as a child, to hone her skills her mother would allow her to practice on her during her evening naps. However, after graduating from makeup school with a makeup artistry certificate, she was disappointed to see makeup looks created without the personalization of the client's character and personal style. So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

Quanisha’s skills are unmatched, I was the Maid of Honor for our wedding party and she went above and beyond for our big day. The bride, myself, and our mother received exactly what we each asked for; from simple light makeup to full glam. Quanisha and her husband were so kind and funny; she came very well prepared with printouts of our inspiration photos and asking us simple questions throughout the process to assure we received our desired looks! I couldn’t recommend Quanisha more for weddings or any other events you are considering a professional makeup artist for. Thank you again!!!

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.

Not only did Ashlee give me the exact look I wanted, but she was also easy to communicate with and highly professional. Additionally, her makeup artist expertise extended beyond makeup application. Since I don’t wear makeup often I had a lot of questions. I really appreciate that she took the time to answer them. She provided valuable skincare advice, tips on how to make the look last all day, and educated me on the proper way to remove my makeup at the end of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the beautiful look she delivered and service she provided. She has definitely gained a customer for life.
