"I love to enhance natural beauty. I'm not in to making someone look overly made up, but just the most beautiful version of themselves possible! I am an artist and the face is my canvas. I get to be creative with color and hair and the outcome is always so rewarding! I look forward to speaking with you soon and help bring out your inner goddess." ~MI

Working with Michelle was amazing! She was able to take the concepts from photos I showed her and make them come to life. It was so fun chatting during the trial run and perfecting everything the day of my wedding. She did such a beautiful job on both my hair and make up! I highly recommend her for your special day (or any occasion) 🥰

If you’re trying to decide on a makeup artist for your wedding, this is your sign to hire The Impossible Beauty!
Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with and made me feel so beautiful for my wedding. She is truly an artist! I did not have a specific idea in mind for what I wanted (I didn’t even have a reference picture!) and was worried that my requests were too vague, but she took my general description of what I liked and ran with it. I showed her a picture of my lavender dress and told her that I wanted something whimsical with a half-up half-down hairstyle. I also handed her a box of traditional Panamanian hair combs and asked if she could try to incorporate it into my hairstyle. She took those vague requests and made me look and feel like a fairy princess! She also made me feel so at ease while working on my hair and makeup. I had been really nervous about getting my hair and makeup done (since I’ve never had it done professionally before) but Michelle made me feel so relaxed throughout the whole process.
A super common question I got from guests throughout the night was “who did your hair and makeup?!” I have been recommending Michelle to everyone I know because she is just so fantastic and talented!

Michelle did amazing makeup and hair for my Halloween Party. I emailed her ideas and pictures in advance on how I wanted my makeup to look and she got it spot on (went as a Dalmatian puppy) I would recommend her to anyone wanting quality work done. She was very friendly, professional, and affordable. She made my night memorable. 😊

Michelle and a couple assistants did hair and make-up for my wedding. She did make-up and hair for 7 girls and it turned out beautifully! She was on-time, very organized and worked extremely hard. Her price was very reasonable too! Would definitely recommend!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices start at $150 for makeup application and go to $350 for both hair styling and full makeup services. I do have some a la cart options. I also have a travel fee depending on the area.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to do a consultation and trial run with a client 1-2 months before the event so that we can both be on the same page in creating a look that the client loves!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started with makeup and hair as a competitive cheerleader in HS and fell in love hard! I progressed on to events like dances for all of my friends. Then I transitioned in to theater and stage makeup where I leaned the art of special effect makeup. I continued doing makeup for people causally until a lady whom hired me for then 3rd time to do her makeup and hair for a fitness show said to me, “how is this NOT a business for you?!” So I told her she was absolutely right and The Impossible Beauty was born!
