⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had such a wonderful experience with Top Stage Glam (Marie)! From the moment she arrived, she was incredibly down-to-earth, warm, and easy to talk to. By the time she finished my makeup, she honestly felt more like family than someone I had just met.
And the makeup? She did her thing! My makeup was absolutely beautiful and photographed so well for my photoshoot. She listened to what I wanted, made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment, and gave me a look that I loved.
Great talent is one thing, but when you combine that with a genuine personality and an experience that makes you feel completely at ease, that’s someone you want to book again. I absolutely would not hesitate to book Top Stage Glam for another occasion. Highly recommend! 💄✨
Details: Photo shoot • 26 - 44 years old • 45 - 64 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • 1 person • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

We booked Marie for our client’s brand photoshoot, and she did an amazing job! Our client specifically wanted a soft glam look where she still felt and looked like herself, just elevated and Marie absolutely delivered. Our client was extremely happy with the finished look and shared that Marie was fantastic and that she would definitely return to her for future makeup needs. As a brand strategist, I’m very intentional about the professionals I bring into my clients’ projects, and Marie made the experience seamless. She was professional, talented, and took great care of our client. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again for future client shoots!

She was amazing. Personable, punctual, and professional! I left feeling like the most beautiful girl in the world. She took her time on me and my sister. Her hygiene/sanitation practices were stellar - I had no itchiness or breakouts afterwards. And lastly I got the look I wanted and was complimented the entire night. I’m a combination oily girl and it was HOT. Through sweating and an unexpected cry, my makeup stayed in place. I would hire Marie again in a heartbeat.

Hey Hey Ekklesia, Thank you so much for this! So glad I got to glam you and your sister together, and that the look held up through the heat and happy tears. Hygiene and longevity are things are two important matters I take seriously, so that means a lot. I know sis doesn’t do makeup, but can't wait to work with you both again!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my makeup artist! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was professional, clean, organized, and so pleasant to be around, most importantly she listened to me. I truly felt heard and understood. Her personality was everything. she made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident throughout the entire experience.
My makeup was absolutely beautiful. I received so many compliments and felt confident, beautiful, and truly special.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, clean, personable, and knows how to make you feel BEAUTIFUL, I highly recommend her.
I will definitely be booking with her again!
