Hi! I'm Sara G., a freelance makeup and hair artist based in Ashburn, VA that also travels within the Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland area. For larger bookings I have qualified assistants to ensure all services are completed on time. I have several years of experience doing makeup and often take workshops and classes with other well known artists to fine tune my skills and learn what others are doing in the industry. I have a great passion for makeup and working with others to make them feel beautiful. I work with all skin types and cultural backgrounds. Whether it's for a wedding or special event, or editorial or TV makeup I listen and put my heart and soul in what I do.

Sara was great for my wedding. She is very responsive, punctual, and accommodating. She did the hair and makeup for five people in my wedding party including myself. It was a very hot day in the lows 100 F; however, my makeup was impeccable throughout the night. She stayed until the family pictures were done and gave me a touch up before the ceremony. I would highly recommend her. Sara and her assistant did an excellent job.

Sara was amazing! I never wear makeup but needed to cover a scar that I recently got for my wedding. I did the trial and it came out amazing. I told her I didn't want anything too flashy but a neutral color. She did half my face with the neutral browns and the other side with a slight shade of pinkish to match the bridesmaid dresses. It came out AMAZING. She managed to do it BETTER for the wedding and the photos came out great! I will definitely be using her any other special occasion I have.

Sara, did makeup for us for my brother-in-law's nikkah day. She did makeup for 4 and did hair for 1. She was on time and very professional. I loved how she took her time with each and everyone of us to understand the exact looks that we wanted. We were really happy with the end result and received a lot of compliments on our looks through out the event. I would highly recommend Sara and will be booking her again for future events. 🙂 . Thank you Sara for working with us and for getting us all glammed up for the event.
