About
Working as a makeup artist is my passion! I want my customers to have a great experience on getting their makeup done. Makeup sometimes can be defined for a lot of people as “too much makeup on” and for my case my goal is to use as little as possible but to enhance your natural beauty. I will pay attention to all your details and will follow your inquiries. I’ll give you some recommendations on how to achieve your desire makeup look and what products are the best to use. My job is to make you feel more beautiful and I am here to help you!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Marilyn! She arrived promptly at 6:00 AM and worked her magic, making me feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. Despite the early start and all the moving parts of the morning, she remained professional, calm, and incredibly talented. My makeup was flawless, lasted all day, and looked amazing in photos. I received so many compliments! If you’re looking for a skilled and reliable makeup artist, I highly recommend her. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

Marilyn is the best! As simple as that. First time meeting and I wanted full Halloween make up for my costume: The Bride of Frankenstein…. And she delivered! Nothing short of perfection, and I had SO many compliments at the party I went to… “Your make up is amazing” were most of them! She is so easy to work with and chat to, and I’ll be looking forward to meeting her again for some more “normal “ make up!

Marilyn promptly responded to my request and kindly fitted me into her schedule. She communicated with me throughout the day up until her arrival. She has a great personality, sought my input and was open to revising the makeup (though I ultimately didn't change a thing!) She is great. Would definitely work with her again.

Marilyn embodies the rare combo of artistic talent, fun conversationalist, and professionalism in a hair & makeup artist. I had her do my hair & makeup (+ trial) for my wedding and couldn't be more pleased! During the trial she took the time to ensure the hair & makeup is what I wanted (we tried on 3 variations of similar hairstyles). On the wedding day itself she arrived promptly and served as a calming presence even as I was freaking out a bit. While Marilyn really is the whole deal, her eye makeup is truly magical. It lasted 12+ hours during the trial, withstood several rounds of crying during the wedding, and came out great in pictures -- something about the way she blends colors and does mascara/false lashes makes it so worth it to hire her!! My (now) husband loved the boho soft glam look she created for me, so that is also an added bonus ;)
