I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day! From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and truly listened to everything I wanted. She made me feel beautiful while still looking like myself, and my makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day and night. Her attention to detail, talent, and calm energy made such a difference on such an important day. I received so many compliments, and I felt incredibly confident walking down the aisle. She agreed to change my lip comb for 4 times lol because I was really nervous about it. She’s amazing
Thank you for trusting me Dais on your wedding day! 🥰 I would have changed the lip 3 more times if you needed it 😂🫶 so happy you loved it!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! I worked with Mari for my rehearsal dinner and wedding, she gave me the soft, beautiful, bridal glam of my dreams. My skin truly has never felt and looked more flawless and even better it lasted allllll night!! She curated a super professional team that provided hair and makeup for 13 ladies (no small feat) and they brought such fun and positive energy to my wedding morning!! I can’t thank them all enough 💕💕💕 Xoxo

Eliz Polit
Mari was absolutely amazing! I left my appointment feeling SO beautiful, and I’m honestly still obsessed with my makeup. My make up look came out even better than my inspo picture I showed her, and I received so many compliments throughout the night; everyone kept telling me how beautiful my makeup was! Beyond how talented she is, Mari was so sweet, professional, and welcoming. She made the whole appointment feel comfortable and enjoyable, and you can really tell how much care and passion she puts into what she does. I’m so happy I chose her for my birthday celebration, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who will make you feel beautiful and confident.
Thank you so much Eliz for trusting me on your birthday 💕
Nikky Valentin
If I could give more than ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, I absolutely would! From the moment I sat in the chair until the last dance, my makeup looked flawless. She made the entire bridal party feel beautiful, confident, and photo-ready without making anyone look overdone. My makeup lasted through happy tears, hugs, dancing, and 12+ hours of celebrating—it didn’t budge! Mari, thank you for making my son’s wedding even more special. You helped create memories we’ll cherish forever, and every time I look at the photos, I’m reminded of your amazing work. If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, professional, and an absolute joy to be around, look no further. You are simply the best! 💄✨🤍
Wow nikky! Thank you so much! You and your family are so warm and welcoming 🥰💜 blessings to you all!

Mari and her team were absolutely amazing! Mari took the time to understand the look I was going for and made sure I was comfortable through the whole process.

Mari did my makeup for all my Words of Rizdom events in Miami and she completely delivered. She created a clean, camera-ready soft glam look that looked flawless under the lights and on video — no caking, no melting, and it still looked fresh hours later. Everything was tailored to enhance my features without looking overdone, which is exactly what I needed for being on camera all day. Professional, punctual, easy to work with, and she really listened to what I wanted. Highly recommend her for any content, photoshoot, or event work in Miami. Thank you Mari — you made me feel confident and ready!
Thank you Marci for trusting me ! Its always a pleasure catching up and glamming you 🥰
Ailin Caballero
I can’t recommend her enough! She did my makeup for my cousin’s wedding, and I absolutely loved it. She made me feel so beautiful while still making me look like myself. She was incredibly sweet, professional, and made the whole experience so relaxing and fun. Not only did she do an amazing job on me, but everyone in our group looked absolutely gorgeous. Her attention to detail and talent really show, and the makeup lasted all day, even through happy tears! By the end of the night, it still looked amazing. I would 100% book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for a special event.
Thank you so much Ailin!! Honored to have been part of such a special day 💜
Sulienne Bareno
I was visiting Miami from Aruba for a wedding and was looking for an artist I would feel comfortable with and also not change the way I look. Im so picky about who touches my face and does my makeup, so finding Mari was a dream. My makeup came out super nice and natural, exactly what I wanted, not cakey or overdone at all. And my hair was literally perfect. I found her on social media first and felt like I already knew her thanks to her stories. Her studio is so cozy and she made me feel comfortable. She's really nice, warm and friendly, not rushed. She understands. I would 100% come back and Im already recommending her to everyone I know in Miami or going to Miami. If you're looking for someone who truly listens and makes you look, feel beautiful and relaxed, Mari's your girl.
Thank you sulienne! It was my absolute pleasure 🥰 loved your energy! Can’t wait to glam you again
Nicole Rosario
Mari did my make up and hair for my elopement/photo shoot and she was incredible! She made my vision come to life. She is amazing at what she does. Mari made sure I was happy with the look every step of the way. She works with your specific features and requests with 0 hesitation. Definitely would not hesitate to work with her again.

Miranda Franck
I had a really great experience with Mari! Booking was so seamless and easy, directions on getting there clear and efficient–all before the service! Now the service itself: amazing! Despite it being super early in the morning(which she accommodated for me!) , she was warm, attentive and did a beautiful job. My makeup was perfect for my photoshoot and literally lasted BEYOND. Like at 8am it was applied and I was still getting compliments on it at 8pm. You can also tell that Mari cares deeply about her artistry and professionalism and that was felt throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!
Wow thank you so much your kind words Miranda. It was my pleasure meeting and glamming you!

Mari is amazing! I booked her for hair and makeup for my bachelorette weekend, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. I received compliments all night!! She was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. I would highly recommend Mari to anyone looking for beautiful hair and makeup for a special event!

Taylor Mckinley
It was my first time ever getting my makeup professionally done (I’m getting married next year) and Mari made it so special 🥹 not only is she so kind and awesome to work with, but she’s a true professional at what she does. The products she uses, her techniques- I felt like I learned so much and the finished look was perfect. If you’re a bride or just looking to get glammed, Mari is your girl!!!! ❤️
Thank you taylor! I feel honored that you trusted me to do your makeup for the first time 🥰
Jessica Brenneman
Mariana and her team, Lori, Aileen, and Alexia did the hair and makeup for my girls for my wedding day. First of all, they are all amazing and seamlessly became part of our group which we all loved. Second, they are soooo talented. Lori did my hair and Mariana did my makeup and I’ve never felt so beautiful! Such great communication and they all try to make you comfortable while finding what works best for you. Don’t hesitate to book them!!
Thank you so much Jessica! We loved being part of your wedding day 🫶
Angie Espinoza
I can’t say enough good things about Mariana! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. They took the time to really listen to what I wanted and somehow made it even better than I imagined. The makeup looked incredible — perfectly blended, long-lasting, and enhanced my features in the most natural yet glamorous way. Not only is Mariana insanely talented, but they’re also so professional, friendly, and calming to be around — which makes such a difference, especially before a big event. I got so many compliments on my makeup, and I genuinely felt beautiful and confident all day. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands artistry, attention to detail, and how to make you feel your best, look no further. Mariana is a total pro and an absolute gem to work with. I can’t wait to book again!
Thank you so much angie! I truly appreciate your kind feedback and your trust in me for your special events🎉💜

Leslie Twillman
I booked Mari and her team for my destination wedding in Key Largo, FL! What a great decision this was. Mari and her team were extremely easy to work with. From the beginning, they were responsive to emails and answered all of my questions. I had my makeup and hair trial 3 days before my wedding and everything went extremely smooth. I had a few tweaks I wanted to make for wedding day and Mari made me feel extremely comfortable and listened to my thoughts and asked great questions. On wedding day, the team was on time and brought great energy for the wedding party. I was ready with plenty of time to spare and felt absolutely beautiful!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much leslie! We really appreciate your trust in us as a team to be part of your wedding day 🥰💜
Natalie Birriel
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had some horrible experiences getting my makeup done. You know when you ask for “natural glam” and somehow end up not even recognizing yourself? Yeah… that. Mari completely changed that for me. From the moment I walked into her studio, I felt at ease. It’s warm, inviting, and honestly just a calming space, which I needed, because your girl came in a little stressed (okay, mini breakdown and all 😅). But Mari handled it with such grace and kindness. What really sets her apart is that she actually listens. Not the “mmhmm” kind of listening,  the real kind. She understood that “natural glam” for me meant bringing out my best, not covering me up or turning me into someone else. And the result? I still looked like me… just elevated, confident, and glowing. If you’ve ever been nervous about getting your makeup done because of past experiences, go to Mari. She’s not just talented, she’s intentional, she’s listens and that makes all the difference. I don’t have a boyfriend but she’s already scheduled to be my makeup artist for my wedding!
Thank you so much Natalie for your thoughtful words. I really appreciate you. I cant wait to glam you for your wedding one day 😍
Karla Rosario
Mari was the makeup artist for my best friends destination wedding & I can say she is the sweetest and most talented MUA ever. My makeup lasted literally all day AND night. Her work is truly a 10/10 and I highly recommend.
Thank you so much karla! It was my absolute pleasure 😍
Marybeth Arcodia
I highly recommend Mariana and her team. They did my hair and makeup for my wedding day as well as my full wedding party. Mariana and Lori did a bridal preview/trial with me which was super helpful and they let me try out a few different options to find what I liked best and made adjustments I requested. My makeup lasted ALL day, even with me crying multiple times. Great experience!
Thank you for trusting us marybeth! It was a pleasure meeting and glamming you for your wedding day 😍💜
Michaela Nahas
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mari on my wedding day! From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and absolutely nailed the glam look—enhancing my natural features while still making me feel like the best version of myself. Mari brought a calm, positive energy to the day, which made getting ready even more special and stress-free. My makeup lasted beautifully all day and night, and I received so many compliments! I’m so grateful for her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled artist.
Thank you so much Michaela for trusting me and my team to be part of your wedding day💜
Shanel Vazquez
Mari is seriously amazing. If you have a chance to book with her, do it. You will not regret it. From the time I contacted her, she and her assistant Emily were super helpful, thorough, and had great communication. Mari has really great vibes, which made me feel comfortable. The makeup, was truly fantastic. The best makeup I’ve ever had. She brought my exact vision to life, I felt beautiful, and I felt like myself, which was what I wanted. I’ve only done a trial, but I look forward to my wedding day with Mari as my MUA. It was the perfect soft glam and I feel so happy knowing I’ll get to look and feel my best on my wedding day.
Thank you shanel! I cannot wait for your wedding day 🥰🙏🏼💜
Yesica
The best make-up ever! Mari and her team did my wedding make-up including my trial session, and the bridal party make-up & hair for me and my bridesmaids. We were all so pleased with the results! I also appreciate that Mari is located in the downtown Brickell area in a very convenient location. Highly recommended!
Thank you yesica! It was our pleasure to be part of your wedding day 🫶
Jennifer Santander
Mari was incredible! I decided to get my makeup done for my rehearsal dinner but was so unbelievably frantic and stressed that day I wasn’t going to make my original time slot. I reached out to her and she was super understanding and accommodating to fit me into her schedule later on that day, and absolutely slayed the makeup. All of my friends and family kept commenting on how natural and flawless my makeup looked. I felt so beautiful and confident, all thanks to Mari! I would definitely recommend her to all the girlies for their makeup needs 💖
Thank you Jennifer! It was a pleasure meeting and glamming you 🥰happy to part of your wedding festivities 🥂🎉

Naome Fuentes
Mariana did my makeup for a brand photoshoot and it completely elevated the entire concept. I’ve also been her model for makeup classes and taken a private one-on-one with her, and the level of detail, intention, and skin prep is truly next level. She asks the right questions, really listens, and understands how to enhance each face beautifully. Professional makeup for photoshoots is an investment you can see and she delivers every time. CONSISTENCY IS KEY!
Thank you so much naome! It was my pleasure to be part of your photoshoot

Donna Lagares
Mariana did such a wonderful job on my hair and makeup!! I felt like a million bucks!! She came to my house, set everything up, cleaned up after herself. I told her I was pretty open with my makeup and showed her a picture of what I wanted my hair like and she made it even better with a suggestion! I will definitely be calling her back again! Thank you Mariana, you're so sweet and such a gentle spirit!!
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure meeting and glamming you 🥰💜🙏🏼

Hien Le
I couldn’t be happier with the incredible work of Mari and her hairstylist. Together, they created the perfect look for my photoshoot! Mari gave me a flawless, glowing makeup look that lasted all day, while her hairstylist transformed my hair into exactly what I wanted. Their teamwork was seamless, and they both listened carefully to what I wanted while adding their own expert touch. Not only did they make me look amazing, but they also made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. They went above and came in early so we made it on time. Highly recommend this talented duo!
Thank you hien! It was our pleasure
Marina Trovato
There are people who make you look beautiful, and then there are people who make you feel beautiful — and Mariana does both in a way I will never forget. From the moment she walked in on my wedding day, I felt calm, cared for, and completely safe in her hands. From the initial meeting, to the trial, to my wedding Day — Mariana was profesional, insightful, and helpful!!! She has the rare gift of seeing people for who they are and enhancing that, not changing it. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t just see a bride — I saw me, glowing, confident, and overflowing with happiness. It was emotional in the best way, and I truly had tears in my eyes. Beyond her unbelievable talent, she is kind, gentle, and full of love. She brought such a comforting presence to one of the most meaningful mornings of my life, and that is something I will cherish forever. If you are considering booking her, do it. You will not only walk away looking stunning, but feeling deeply seen and beautiful. I love her endlessly and will recommend her always 🤍
Thank you Marina for your kind words ! You were such a dreamy bride to work with. Thank you for trusting me and my team to be part of your wedding day🥰

Katie Mitchell
I met Mari at one of my best friend's destination weddings. Mari did the bridal makeup as well as the makeup for some of our friends. Everyone looked amazing and everyone had different features and skin tones. Mari was so attentive to detail, really wanted feedback from the girls, and everyone looked stunning! Fast forward two weeks and Mari was able to squeeze me in last minute for my birthday. I felt so good the entire day--which I needed, as I was feeling a little down on myself. I got so many compliments and my skin looked glowing! Mari is also very chill and easy to talk to. Absolutely would recommend.
Thank you so much katie!! I loved meeting you and getting to glam you in Florida 😍
Gabriela Duenas
I have done my make up twice now with Mari for both of my graduations and I can say she has exceeded my expectations both times. Make up that makes you feel beautiful and lasts allll day and night. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding onto this review from two years ago because Mari continues to glam me throughout the years and throughout important events and moments in my life. Every time I am left feeling confident, beautiful, and happy. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to do my makeup for my wedding day. Thank you Mari for everything that you do and for just being you!
Thanks gabby!! It’s always a pleasure glamming you 😍

Hannah Young
I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding glam team!! As someone who had never had their makeup done professionally before, Mari helped me find a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. My whole wedding party felt pampered and relaxed too. Mari and her team were so kind and knowledgeable and really listened to each person’s vision for their makeup and hair. We were glowing all night long, even after a sunny outdoor ceremony and hours of dancing! Thank you, Mari!

Mari spent the entire morning with my bridesmaids, both my moms and myself doing our makeup for my wedding day. She was so sweet and I could see the passion in her work, I was literally in LOVE with my makeup. We all felt so beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire night. I have no idea how she did it but she worked so efficiently and we were ready on time and even had time for touch ups before heading out to the venue. Thank you so much Mari, I can’t wait to have you glam me up for other special occasions to come.
Daisy it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day! I had an amazing time with you and your family! Can’t wait to glam you again soon! 💜

Karla Portal
I booked Mari for my wedding and was very pleased. I didn’t end up doing a make up trail with her to test out the make up prior to the wedding so I was a bit nervous about how my make up was going to come out. I felt like the most beautiful bride in the world. Her team with hair and make up did such a good job. I was beyond happy. She was very punctual, prioritized me that day and really knew exactly the look I was going for.
Thank you for trusting me on your wedding day karla 🥰 im so happy to know you felt like the most beautiful bride 🤍

She was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. I would highly recommend Mari to anyone looking for beautiful hair and makeup for a special event!
Thank you emma!! It was an absolute pleasure 🫶

It was my first time ever getting my makeup professionally done (I’m getting married next year) and Mari made it so special 🥹 not only is she so kind and awesome to work with, but she’s a true professional at what she does. The products she uses, her techniques- I felt like I learned so much and the finished look was perfect. If you’re a bride or just looking to get glammed, Mari is your girl!!!! ❤️
Thank you taylor! I feel honored that you trusted me to do your makeup for the first time 🥰
Jessica Brenneman
Mariana and her team, Lori, Aileen, and Alexia did the hair and makeup for my girls for my wedding day. First of all, they are all amazing and seamlessly became part of our group which we all loved. Second, they are soooo talented. Lori did my hair and Mariana did my makeup and I’ve never felt so beautiful! Such great communication and they all try to make you comfortable while finding what works best for you. Don’t hesitate to book them!!
Thank you so much Jessica! We loved being part of your wedding day 🫶
Angie Espinoza
I can’t say enough good things about Mariana! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. They took the time to really listen to what I wanted and somehow made it even better than I imagined. The makeup looked incredible — perfectly blended, long-lasting, and enhanced my features in the most natural yet glamorous way. Not only is Mariana insanely talented, but they’re also so professional, friendly, and calming to be around — which makes such a difference, especially before a big event. I got so many compliments on my makeup, and I genuinely felt beautiful and confident all day. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands artistry, attention to detail, and how to make you feel your best, look no further. Mariana is a total pro and an absolute gem to work with. I can’t wait to book again!
Thank you so much angie! I truly appreciate your kind feedback and your trust in me for your special events🎉💜

Leslie Twillman
I booked Mari and her team for my destination wedding in Key Largo, FL! What a great decision this was. Mari and her team were extremely easy to work with. From the beginning, they were responsive to emails and answered all of my questions. I had my makeup and hair trial 3 days before my wedding and everything went extremely smooth. I had a few tweaks I wanted to make for wedding day and Mari made me feel extremely comfortable and listened to my thoughts and asked great questions. On wedding day, the team was on time and brought great energy for the wedding party. I was ready with plenty of time to spare and felt absolutely beautiful!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much leslie! We really appreciate your trust in us as a team to be part of your wedding day 🥰💜
Natalie Birriel
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had some horrible experiences getting my makeup done. You know when you ask for “natural glam” and somehow end up not even recognizing yourself? Yeah… that. Mari completely changed that for me. From the moment I walked into her studio, I felt at ease. It’s warm, inviting, and honestly just a calming space, which I needed, because your girl came in a little stressed (okay, mini breakdown and all 😅). But Mari handled it with such grace and kindness. What really sets her apart is that she actually listens. Not the “mmhmm” kind of listening,  the real kind. She understood that “natural glam” for me meant bringing out my best, not covering me up or turning me into someone else. And the result? I still looked like me… just elevated, confident, and glowing. If you’ve ever been nervous about getting your makeup done because of past experiences, go to Mari. She’s not just talented, she’s intentional, she’s listens and that makes all the difference. I don’t have a boyfriend but she’s already scheduled to be my makeup artist for my wedding!
Thank you so much Natalie for your thoughtful words. I really appreciate you. I cant wait to glam you for your wedding one day 😍
Karla Rosario
Mari was the makeup artist for my best friends destination wedding & I can say she is the sweetest and most talented MUA ever. My makeup lasted literally all day AND night. Her work is truly a 10/10 and I highly recommend.
Thank you so much karla! It was my absolute pleasure 😍
Marybeth Arcodia
I highly recommend Mariana and her team. They did my hair and makeup for my wedding day as well as my full wedding party. Mariana and Lori did a bridal preview/trial with me which was super helpful and they let me try out a few different options to find what I liked best and made adjustments I requested. My makeup lasted ALL day, even with me crying multiple times. Great experience!
Thank you for trusting us marybeth! It was a pleasure meeting and glamming you for your wedding day 😍💜
Michaela Nahas
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mari on my wedding day! From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and absolutely nailed the glam look—enhancing my natural features while still making me feel like the best version of myself. Mari brought a calm, positive energy to the day, which made getting ready even more special and stress-free. My makeup lasted beautifully all day and night, and I received so many compliments! I’m so grateful for her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled artist.
Thank you so much Michaela for trusting me and my team to be part of your wedding day💜
Shanel Vazquez
Mari is seriously amazing. If you have a chance to book with her, do it. You will not regret it. From the time I contacted her, she and her assistant Emily were super helpful, thorough, and had great communication. Mari has really great vibes, which made me feel comfortable. The makeup, was truly fantastic. The best makeup I’ve ever had. She brought my exact vision to life, I felt beautiful, and I felt like myself, which was what I wanted. I’ve only done a trial, but I look forward to my wedding day with Mari as my MUA. It was the perfect soft glam and I feel so happy knowing I’ll get to look and feel my best on my wedding day.
Thank you shanel! I cannot wait for your wedding day 🥰🙏🏼💜
Yesica
The best make-up ever! Mari and her team did my wedding make-up including my trial session, and the bridal party make-up & hair for me and my bridesmaids. We were all so pleased with the results! I also appreciate that Mari is located in the downtown Brickell area in a very convenient location. Highly recommended!
Thank you yesica! It was our pleasure to be part of your wedding day 🫶
Jennifer Santander
Mari was incredible! I decided to get my makeup done for my rehearsal dinner but was so unbelievably frantic and stressed that day I wasn’t going to make my original time slot. I reached out to her and she was super understanding and accommodating to fit me into her schedule later on that day, and absolutely slayed the makeup. All of my friends and family kept commenting on how natural and flawless my makeup looked. I felt so beautiful and confident, all thanks to Mari! I would definitely recommend her to all the girlies for their makeup needs 💖
Thank you Jennifer! It was a pleasure meeting and glamming you 🥰happy to part of your wedding festivities 🥂🎉

Naome Fuentes
Mariana did my makeup for a brand photoshoot and it completely elevated the entire concept. I’ve also been her model for makeup classes and taken a private one-on-one with her, and the level of detail, intention, and skin prep is truly next level. She asks the right questions, really listens, and understands how to enhance each face beautifully. Professional makeup for photoshoots is an investment you can see and she delivers every time. CONSISTENCY IS KEY!
Thank you so much naome! It was my pleasure to be part of your photoshoot

Mariana did such a wonderful job on my hair and makeup!! I felt like a million bucks!! She came to my house, set everything up, cleaned up after herself. I told her I was pretty open with my makeup and showed her a picture of what I wanted my hair like and she made it even better with a suggestion! I will definitely be calling her back again! Thank you Mariana, you're so sweet and such a gentle spirit!!

Hien Le
I couldn’t be happier with the incredible work of Mari and her hairstylist. Together, they created the perfect look for my photoshoot! Mari gave me a flawless, glowing makeup look that lasted all day, while her hairstylist transformed my hair into exactly what I wanted. Their teamwork was seamless, and they both listened carefully to what I wanted while adding their own expert touch. Not only did they make me look amazing, but they also made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. They went above and came in early so we made it on time. Highly recommend this talented duo!
Thank you hien! It was our pleasure
Marina Trovato
There are people who make you look beautiful, and then there are people who make you feel beautiful — and Mariana does both in a way I will never forget. From the moment she walked in on my wedding day, I felt calm, cared for, and completely safe in her hands. From the initial meeting, to the trial, to my wedding Day — Mariana was profesional, insightful, and helpful!!! She has the rare gift of seeing people for who they are and enhancing that, not changing it. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t just see a bride — I saw me, glowing, confident, and overflowing with happiness. It was emotional in the best way, and I truly had tears in my eyes. Beyond her unbelievable talent, she is kind, gentle, and full of love. She brought such a comforting presence to one of the most meaningful mornings of my life, and that is something I will cherish forever. If you are considering booking her, do it. You will not only walk away looking stunning, but feeling deeply seen and beautiful. I love her endlessly and will recommend her always 🤍
Thank you Marina for your kind words ! You were such a dreamy bride to work with. Thank you for trusting me and my team to be part of your wedding day🥰
Katherine Roth

Katie Mitchell
I met Mari at one of my best friend's destination weddings. Mari did the bridal makeup as well as the makeup for some of our friends. Everyone looked amazing and everyone had different features and skin tones. Mari was so attentive to detail, really wanted feedback from the girls, and everyone looked stunning! Fast forward two weeks and Mari was able to squeeze me in last minute for my birthday. I felt so good the entire day--which I needed, as I was feeling a little down on myself. I got so many compliments and my skin looked glowing! Mari is also very chill and easy to talk to. Absolutely would recommend.
Thank you so much katie!! I loved meeting you and getting to glam you in Florida 😍
Gabriela Duenas
I have done my make up twice now with Mari for both of my graduations and I can say she has exceeded my expectations both times. Make up that makes you feel beautiful and lasts allll day and night. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding onto this review from two years ago because Mari continues to glam me throughout the years and throughout important events and moments in my life. Every time I am left feeling confident, beautiful, and happy. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to do my makeup for my wedding day. Thank you Mari for everything that you do and for just being you!
Thanks gabby!! It’s always a pleasure glamming you 😍

Wonderful! Mari did my make up and hair for a wedding I was attending in Miami and I couldn't be happier. I am extremely discerning and quite opinionated and her work was absolutely flawless.

Thank you edyta! It was my pleasure. I also enjoyed our conversations
Hannah Young
I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding glam team!! As someone who had never had their makeup done professionally before, Mari helped me find a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. My whole wedding party felt pampered and relaxed too. Mari and her team were so kind and knowledgeable and really listened to each person’s vision for their makeup and hair. We were glowing all night long, even after a sunny outdoor ceremony and hours of dancing! Thank you, Mari!
Thank you hannah for trusting me and my team on your wedding. It was an absolute pleasure. Blessings to you and your husband 💜
Tang Daisy
Mari spent the entire morning with my bridesmaids, both my moms and myself doing our makeup for my wedding day. She was so sweet and I could see the passion in her work, I was literally in LOVE with my makeup. We all felt so beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire night. I have no idea how she did it but she worked so efficiently and we were ready on time and even had time for touch ups before heading out to the venue. Thank you so much Mari, I can’t wait to have you glam me up for other special occasions to come.
Daisy it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day! I had an amazing time with you and your family! Can’t wait to glam you again soon! 💜

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beyond amazing — truly bridal beauty magic! Mari came to me for a wedding party, and let me just say—she completely exceeded every expectation. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her energy is exactly what you want on a special day: calming, confident, and so kind.

Karla Portal
I booked Mari for my wedding and was very pleased. I didn’t end up doing a make up trail with her to test out the make up prior to the wedding so I was a bit nervous about how my make up was going to come out. I felt like the most beautiful bride in the world. Her team with hair and make up did such a good job. I was beyond happy. She was very punctual, prioritized me that day and really knew exactly the look I was going for.
Thank you for trusting me on your wedding day karla 🥰 im so happy to know you felt like the most beautiful bride 🤍
